RRnTHERLY LOVE

Editor FL B3SO Herald
The head Of private Johnson was
paraded on a pole through a village Of
Mexico. il is said. In October. 1865, in
company with Clifton Bell and William
Robinson, 1 was travelling in the north
ern part Of Mexico. In the little village
of Janos. we witnessed two heads of
Apache indians Taraded through the
streets by two women, in front OF
company Of cavalry. on the point of
lances- I don't know that these things
are any more brutal than taking a man
out Of jail by force. and burning him
at the stake There are excuses for the
illiterate Mexican. 20 percent OF them
are indians. and know no better Broth
erly love, and peace on earth, IN my
judgment are a complete failure Just
look across the Atlantic and see what
brOtherly love is doing for the thou
sands Of hard working men-a war for
emperors and kings, and poor mans
battles I ask. is christianity on the
improve or has it vanished from the
earth? I pray Coo TO restore peace and
happiness TO all the world

LOOK FORWARD TO BIG
DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
Prominent Men Will Address
Gatherings at Washington,
EIWOOd and KOk0mo.

INDIANAPOLIS. sept. 21.-There
is much general interest throughout
the state in the big democratic meet
ings being arranged for the eighth,
second and ninth districts.
At Elwood On the 18th of Septem-
Der. in connection with the old-fash-
toned barbecue, there are TO be at
least three United states senators,
jthese being Sens. John W. Kern,
ollie James and James Hamilton
Lewis. Gov. RalstOn viii also be
there TO give one of the kind OF talks
that always gives Indiana voters some
things TO take home and think over.
The eighth district has much eX-
ce1lent oratOry OF its own, with such
men as Congressman John NJ. Adam.
Sen. Fred Van Nuys, state Auditor
Dale J. Crittenberger. Chairman Viii
liam a. KuEkle and many others in
her midst" And incidentally il
should be said that when the bunch
announces a barbecue and democratic
feast" the state takes notice and
comes 10 see and take part
Then over in the second, Chairman
william II. VoIlmer isn't the sort OF
chairman to wait, and there a whole
lot Of democrats in his district Just
like him. The result is that they are
going TO keep the feast in motion and
the very next day after the jubilee 1t
ElwOOd everybody is invited TO be at
Washington. Not only the democrats
of the second district but from all the
country round about there Will be at
washington.
In the second we wish all the dis
tricts we'll and hope they will have
big crowds. but just count 'em and see
If we don't have a whole lot more at
washington than at any other place
in the state" That is the threat of
Chairman VOnmer. and he has had
something TO 90 with the selection OF
the oxen 10 be roasted
Vice-Pres't MarshOll is going TO
be at Wash ngtOn and as many more
places as he can be induced TO attend.
An effort will be made also 10 have all
the EllwoOd speakers repeat. but with
new speeches.
Then comes the ninth district where
Gov. samuel NJ. RalstOn and sen.
John w. Kern say they will sure be
on hand. The place is KokOmo and
the way that hustling and busy city
is preparing 10 take care of the crowd
insures that "a pleasant time VIII De
had" KokOmO refused TO let any
body have any part in preparing Tor
this feast. and all the democratic
committee has TO do IS to provide the
speakers. There Will be plenty OF
them. Chairman Durham is one OF
the Invest men in the whole state OK
SANITATION. and he and John Behymer
will let their visitors miss nothing.
The date is oct. T. other celebra-
tions of the same sort are being plan
ned and the enthusiasm with which
all democrats are responding is most
encouraging to the democratic state
committee.

OWOSSO, Mich, Sept. 21.-"The re-
port that the Bean Jobbers' associa-

leading" said A. b. Cook. chairman
of the committee appointed by the
growers to meet with the jObbers.
The jobbers did everything we ex-
pected. We did not ask them to in
dOrse our price-fiXing scale. We did
not think it necessary.
The jobbers passed a resolution in
dorsing our action and giving US their
support. AS far as agreeing TO the
price scale is concerned, we felt it was
solely up to the growers. The growers
have made a study of the situation
and know what should be paid"
