in its treasury. The running expenses
are the lowest per capita of any state
north of the Ohio and east of the
Mississippi river II has the fewest
officers and pays the smallest salaries.
This is a different state of affairs from
what the democrats found when they
took hold in 1910. Then they found
expenses far in excess of the revenue;
debts and bond issues that were past
due were unpaid and no funds to pay
with. Additions TO new institutions
costing several million dollars were
Contracted and under construction and
no funds TO meet the maintenance or
them when completed.
The democratic administration in
five years has paid these past due
obligations, in addition to meeting
those maturing since. 1t has COM
pleted all the institutions contracted
for, paid the bills like man, and
provided for their maintenance at a
cost of more than half million dol
lars each and every wear
After doing all these things, keep
ing the states property up in ship
shape and doing business as a sue
cessful man would run his own af-
fairs, avoiding every kind of scandal
and fulfilling every pledge made to the
people, the organization that did this

And it is so termed by the biggest
newspaper in Indiana and by a lot of
outs that want in. The Marshall and
Ralston administrations have been
economical and strictly business.
Small mistakes may have been made,
just as every man makes, but the de-
sired end has been accomplished and
the state of Indiana stands today in
the best financial condition II has been
in since its organization a hundred
years ago.
We challenge a comparison Of the
last five years accomplishment with
any like period in its history. The
people of Indiana will know more
about this and every intelligent citi-
zen will understand the real facts as
they are. and not as they have been
so grossly misrepresented by malicious
interests that could not control affairs.
The state and the people have profited
by keeping those influences out of the
state house, and Will continue TO keep
them where they can do no more
harm than to snarl at successful off,

OF babies are saved every year by its
educational force. II Is the only uni
versal agency for the treatment OF dis

He wanted TO know whether there
is any good reason why city or stats

and pay for it. just as merchandise is

OF course. he admitted. "as soon as
you begin to use print for any public
or educational purpose, your oppor-
efits will dub you an 'agitatOr.' But
it's a good thing to be. Every adver-
tiser is an agitator, whether he agi-
tates the public mind in favor of

large quantities, and don't be afraid
to pay for it,
No layms will question the sound
sense Of this advice One of the chief
reasons why mankind has been so Ions
in bringing durable or preventable
diseases under control has been the
lack Of publicity. The medical art has
always been treated as a mystery. Even
with its present admirable develop
ment it is still hampered by the we'll
meant secrecy imposed by "profes-
sional ethics"
The trend, however, is more and
more toward frank and full commu-
nication of all the useful knowledge

hensible by the general public. But
much more might be done. And it Is

WONDERFUL WAGES.

L
One factory in New Castle paid out
more than a million dollars in wages
last year. Get that amount thorough
ly under your hat and figure how
many SO-acre farms it would take
to equal it. The same factory eX-
poets to pay out a million and q half
dollars in wages from the first of
August this year until the same date
in 1916. Don't forget that the extra
100000 is no measly sum of money
to be scattered in one little commu-
nifty in II months time.
Another factory paid out close to
half a million dollars last year, and
that was a whole lot of money and
meant support for six or eight hum
dred families. And several other fac
tories paid out more than hundred
thousand dollars each.
When one considers what a weekly
factory pay roll of $4,000 TO $780,
600 IN one little city like New Castle
means, it is no wonder that houses
are scarce here. For all that, rents
are not high. When a man can get
good house with bath, electric lights
and all modern conveniences for $12

where there is work % weeks IN tho

FAIR PLAY.

ln the unfortunate acrimonious dis
cussions which have broken out in
this country since the beginning OF
the war there seems a very real dan
ger that that spirit OF fair play on
which we Americans have always
prided ourselves may be injured
There has been undoubtedly a great
deal Of foolish. hotheaded propaganda
work done by a section OF our popula-
ton whose sympathies are with the
Germans. Perhaps the feeling that
they were in a minority has had a
great deal 10 do with their extrava-
gance and injudicious conduct. But
on the other hand there has been a
strongly marked disposition on the
part Of the pro-allies TO deny yleir
opponents any right 10 a voice at all.
These are very strenuous, heated
times, and II is hard for any of US to
maintain our judgment; but our pri-
mary duty IS to be fair.
The conditions which exist in Amer
lea today have never been paralleled
in the history OF tho world. A vast
section Of our population was either
horn in the countries now at war or
is the first generation from parents so
horn. II would be ridiculous TO expecJ
that these fellow-citizens of ours
should not have a very deep feeling
towards the land Of their origin or
fatherhood
There is nothing in the least incOm
patible in a German e. an English
man who has become an American
citizen sympathizing strongly with the
nation OF his blood in the hour of her
trial. There is nothing TO prevent
him from being a patriotic and good
American citizen merely because he
desires the victory Of the older land
10 which he is bound by such powerful
ties
There is a very sharp dividing line
of course. over which he must not
step. When his sympathies lead him
to disloyalty in word or deed toward
the land Of his adoption. then ne for
feits our respect and merits and will
receive our strongest condemnation.
But it does not appear that any i'm

citizens or citizens Of foreign parent
age have crossed this line.
on the other hand, there are many
signs that the vast majority of the So
called German-Americans. who have
been the most bitterly attacked. are
genuinely loyal to their newer father
land. Just as much so as the English
Americans. French-Americans or any
other OF our many varieties. The un-
American sentiments attributed to
them are largely imaginary. False
Impressions have been given by few
of their over-zealous and Over-lOqua-
cious leaders. and too readily accept
ed at their face value by the rest of
our population.
1T would be most unfair and hostile
20 every instinct of American justice
and fair play to condemn the many
for the fault OF the few. Let us dis
tinguish between the American who
has 5ust and honorable preference
and the "hyphenate" who is neither
fish. fowl nor good red herring. The
latter are not SO numerous or import
ant as some OF our hysterical breth-
rem would have us believe.
