Returning In Indiana.

More than 100 men who voted for
Theodore Roosevelt for President in
1912 held a conference in Indianapo-
lis and issued an appeal to voters
of all parties, but particularly to their
fellow Progressives of the campaign
two years ago, urging the support of
Republican candidates and Republic
an principles this year. They direct
attention TO the great changes which
have been wrought in the leadership
and control of the Republican party
and they declare that the reasons
which justified the coarse which they
followed in 1912 no longer exist.
Many of the men who took part
in this conference were very active
and influential in the Progressive
party two years ago. Their open
and emphatic change of party and
party connections now cannot fail to
have a far-reaching and important eff
feet. 1t will convince many wavering
voters

WILL NOT DECEIVE PEOPLE
Voters VIII Understand Situation That
Has Been Created by the
War in Europe.

Democratic candidates for congress,
who have been consoling themselves
with the thought that the stoppage of
European imports, due to the war, has
had the same effect as q tariff wall OF
s,rohibitive height, and therefore has
blanketed the tariff issue for the pur-
poses of the congressional campaign,
are simply reckoning without the
travelling salesman.
The travelling salesman will take
pains to explain the situation to the
dealers in all the cities, towns, and
villages. Take the hosiery salesman,
for instance. He will explain that the
war has, in fact, cut off German i'm
portations. In a way it has BEEF as
though an exorbitant tariff had been
levied. No German hosiery is coming
in. Thus, the American m~anufactur.
ers might be said to have the market
to themselves.
Exlgencies of the war, however, can
not possibly produce the same bene-
ficial results as a protective tariff.
The salesman will explain that there
are drawbacks to the war business.
There are buyers, for example, who
are under restraint for financial rea-
sons incident to present conditions,
The salesman cannot sell his Ameri,
can hosiery if the customers have nc
money to buy.
The evil of regarding the tariff as a
local issue is to be found right here.
1t is of little benefit to IN industry
to be well protected by the tariff if
the rest of the country is not pros
porous. A well-adjusted tariff benefits
business generally. There is no acct
dent in the process. The nation itself
is protected from cheap labor products
from abroad and can pursue it's way
with prosperity and high wages.
Moreover the Wanted protection
which certain industries are said tt
be receiving from the cessation of i'm
ports, takes no account of the needs
of the treasury. Under a protective
tariff ample revenue is obtained fol
wages are protected from the lower
standards of wages hat prevail
abroad.
The war is apt to bring the tariff
problem home to the people in a new
light. They have had their experience
with a tariff for revenue only for thu
first time in many years, and thu
younger generation of business mel
know more about the subject nov
than they did before the new tariff
law went into effect.

Requisition Not Honored.

Governor Cox for the first time since
he has been the chief executive official
of the state, refused to honor a requi-
sition served en- him by the governor
of another state.
The requisition refused was that of
the governor of New York for the re-
turn of Harry Stapholz, who is under
arrest in Toledo. He was wanted in
New York City to answer a charge of
abandonment of a minor child. Price
Russell, executive clerk in the gov
errors office, found after an investi-
cation that Stapholz had never been in
New York, that his residence was in
Toledo, and that instead of abandon
ing his wife and child, Mrs. stgpholz
had taken the child and 2 New
York of her own accord.

PEOPLE DID SOME THINKING
OF Course This Is a Fable, but II 10
Possible That Such a Thing
May Happen.

A certain people were much given
to deploring war. War, they kept in
sisting, was poor business.
Their king heard them, but he
didn't take them seriously. The very
first chance he got he picked a quar-
rel with a neighboring power, and
that lone he lifted up his voice in the
old way.
THE fatherland is in dangerl" he
cried. "The honor of the nation is
assailed! My children, be patriots!"
But they couldn't see him. mot on
your life!" they made answer. you
can fool all the people some of the
time and some of the people all of
the time, but you cannot fool all the
people all the time!"
Whereupon the king made haste to
patch up his quarrel and was very
careful forever after not to pick an
other.
This fable teaches that we have still
some distance to go before universal
peace can be anything but a joke

New Appeal Issued.

Suggestions for proper observ-
ance, of FIRE protection day
which, by proclamation of Governor
Cox, comes on Friday, October 9, are
given by State Fire Marshal E. f
~Defenbaugh, in a bulletin just issued.
Reference is made to the fact that in
Ohio alone the fire loss last year
amounted to 100000, and that 50
per cent of the fires are due to care
lessness.
Fire departments al put out the
fires and the fire marshal can gen
orally determine how they have
started, but the individual citizen is
the one who has it chiefly within his
power to prevent them," said Mar.
shall Deffenbaugh. There was a
gratifying increase shown in the OBJ
servance of fire prevention day last
year and it is hoped that still greater
interest may be shown this year"
In all schools in Ohio this subject
will be taken up by teachers on Fri
day, October 8.

universal. At a recent contest of fields
sown not later than June, 1912, there
were prizes awarded in all districts in

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re-
turn from a trip to Western Canada,
furnishes the following contributions:
I'll dream again Of fields Of grain
that stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets, where
the cars go roaring by,
Wooden hamlets as I saw them-noble
cities still to be
To girdle stately Canada with gems
from sea to sea;
Mother Of a mighty manhood, Land of
glamour and of hope,
From the eastward sea-swept Islands
to the sunny Western SLOPE"
It is the inspiration that led Sir
Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
NOW in Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.
