In a recent speech in chicago az

In recent speech in Chicago axz
President Taft remarked that present
prosperity is no reason for continuing
the present national administration IN
power And yet ex-Presldent TAT
and the rest of the Republican stand
patters are saying: Restore tire Re
publicans TO power and You will have
prosperity" Nov. If Mr.. Taft admits
that the country Is prosperous, and he
certainly does, why should he or any
one else desire to change the national
administration simply to secure some
thing We already have? Such reason
Ing is unworthy u man Of Mr.. Tafts
intelligence.

The administration is seriously
concerned over the bread situation,
and views with alarm the threat
of bakers to increase the price Of
the loaf.
Government investigations al
ready are in progress, and it is
believed that criminal prosecutions
will result if the price of bread
actually is increased, and these two
facts can be established: That there
is no economic justification for the
increase, and that the bakers have
acted in association.
1t is stated that if there is an
agreement among bakers to increase
the price of bread, it will be equiv
alent to a conspiracy, and that
they can be prosecuted either
under the common law or the anti.
trust act.

Indiana The Blest.

Indiana has long enjoyed the
doubtful reputation of possessing
more politics to the square inch than
any other state in the Union. More
than anywhere else politics seems to
be a feature of public and private
life. 1t is sport. business, a
religion, a philosophy. 1t is a part
of the warp and wool of existence.
It enters into everything and nothing
is complete without it. 1t is the first
thought of the adolescent Indianian
and the last thought before the
arrival of senility or death. In a
word, it is the grand passion of the
Hoosier State to which all other
passions contribute.
Something of the same spirit
existed in the South during the old
regime, minus the professionalism
which is mixed with it in Indiana.
We are not sufficiently yersed in the
psychology of its civilization to say
whether this condition is result OF
political heredity, or whether it has
been produced by geographical situa-
ton and the influence of political cur
rents which set in toward it from
many quarters. But certain it is
that Indiana loves politics as color
ed brother loves fried chicken and
watermelon, and that it is never as
happy as when a hot campaign is in
progress. That is the Indiana idea
or heaven, and if any preacher out
that way undertakes to picture
Paradise without politics he is apt
to have mighty small congregation.
Which moves us to say that 1916
marks the high tide of political bliss
in that state. With two candidats
for Vice President and one for Presi-
dent hailing from Indiana and with
the responsibility of electing two
United States Senators this year, its
cup of delight is filled to overflowing.
For several months to come it will
be on political jag of the most pro-
tracted and furious kind, and will
have the supreme time of its life.
The battle may be tame elsewhere,
but there will not be duff moment
in Indiana. Enthusiasm will open
all it's fountains, and every Indiana
citizen will battle in them and be
glad. Oh, how inspired our con-
ventional campaign will seem while
this great contest is going on! Oh, to
be Hoosier, if only for month

Plenty OF Apples.

Apple growers ON the Eastern
Panhandle of West Virginia and the
adjoining counties of Virginia have
commenced to gather one of the lar
gest crops ever raised in that section.
The growers report the fruit to be
of the best quality and good prices
are being realized.
1t is estimated that Berkeley coun-
ty, West Virginia. and Frederick CO.,
Virginia. have the largest yield in
their history. In several counties in
Virginia the crop is estimated at
about 100000 barrels. Clarke, War
rem, Rappahannock. Augusta and
Loudoun counties, Virginia, report
an excellent yield.

Cure for Chestnut Blight.

After four years or exhaustive
experiments and research, Robt. M.
Bair, of York, Pa, has discovered a
positive cure for the destructive
chestnut blight.
State officials who have examined
the trees which were treated by DR.,
Bair, declare that in all their ex-
perience they have never seen such
remarkable results.
The young agricultural chemist, it
is said, has been offered sums OF
money for his formula which would
make him very ricn man.
Thus far he has refused all offers
and is busily engaged in treating
trees on several large estates in
York county.
