Democrats Present
Clean State to the
Voters of Indiana

IN presenting their case TO the vot-
ers of Indiana the democrats recount
these facts. That upon taking over
the state government from the re-
publicans they a. 1med a republican
debt of $2.609,163; that the republic
cans left but $9,463 in the treasury
with which TO pay these debts; that
the democrats reduced the general
tax levy TO seven cents, the lowest
since the civil war; that they cut the
sinking fund levy from three cents
10 one and one-half cents; that they
paid the entire republican indebted
ness; that at the end of the fiscal
year, Sept. 50. 1916, the democ-
rats had S2.15O.00C cash in the
treasury; that they have amply and
decently provided for al the state
institutions; that they have in fact,
and not in theory. removed all these
institutions entirely out of politics.
that they are all conducted absolute
~ on a non-partisan basis and man
aged by boards of able and conscien-
tious men and women; that john A.
NJ Adair. democratic candidate for
governor. in all his speeches. extend
ing over several months. has made it
perfectly clear that he will not un-
Der any circumstances allow politics
in the slightest sense OF degree TO
interfere with the management of
single one of these institutions This
has been one of the strongest points
in all his addresses. and he has been
perfectly sincere in all that he has
said on that subject.
Goodrich Injects Politics.
on the other hand, James Z. Good
rich republican candidate for gov
ernor. has based his campaign and
his plea for election almost solely
upon his wish 70 drag every one of
these institutions into politics and
in assailing the partisan boards
for what he calls extravaganza. His
particular cause of complaint has
been that il has cost. under this nom
partisan management. six cents a
meal to feed the unfortunate pa
tients in the hospitals for the insane.
and that II has cost siXty-twO cents a
day for housing, clothing, and all
forms of maintenance for each Of
these patients.
In answering th,se charges Gov.
Ralston said in one of lis speeches
that any man who would find cause
for complaint, such as Mr.. Goodrich
has made. should himself be sent 10
live in one Of these institutions.
In view OF the public utterances
of Mr.. Adair and of the novel cam
paign conducted by Mr.. Goodrich,
this editorial comment in the Indian
apolis News in its issue of October
End should be of such special inter-
est that il should not be forgotten
by the voters in making their choice
for governor.
MIR. Goodrich, in spreading his
attack on state expenses TO include

ness between man and wife comes from
a pure and unseIish love for each other
and a loyal and faithful love to God,
keeping His commandments, whether We
live in palace or in howell. for with
out these one need never look for hap
piness :
One of the most miserable and UNI
happy women / ever knew was married
to a drunkard. He was not wealthy.
hut he made a good salary, enough 70
support a wife in every comfort. She
did not love him, but she was poor.
working for her living. She married
him thinking she would be well cared
for That was sixteen years ago. He
gave her everything she wanted but hap
ness He continued to drink and she
soon came to loathe him. No child ever
came to them, but they are still togeth-
er, he a hopeless drunken wreck, stu
vowing he loves her and making her
life as wretched as possible; she broken
in health and spirit but looking to a
higher power for peace and happiness.
] cannot imagine anything that would
come nearer breaking my heart and tab
ing all the sunshine from my life than
to know that my little girl would one
day be the wife of a drunkard even
though he were -multimillionaire. All
the sunshine from my life means
heaps las my boy would sayl. for
there is sunshine in abundance in our
home. Even though we are very poor,
we are happT.
If any of you have ever tried buying
q farm on a credit and trying to pay
for it and make a living, too, you know
something about the struggle we are
having, but we are happy and hopeful. :.
NV poor man. is one of the good
kind so we are both doing our part
to the best of our ability and trusting
the rest to our kind heavenly Father,
who is better manager than we. l do
not say that all poor men are good. l
really think that some of them are quite
as bad as some of the rich ones.
But neither are all wives good. Both
husband and wife must do their part
toward making a happy home.
l know another instance where girl
that had been reared by refined Chris
t;an parents and accustomed to every
luxury, married a drunkard. He holds
a responsible high-salaried position and
gives to her every luxury and she is
blessed with the best of health. Yet
her life is almost torture, for when he
is away she is always expecting the very
worst to happen and lives in daily fear
and dread. She has four sweet little
children How terribly the odds are
against her in raising those children in
the fright way. Will that fair-haired lit
tie boy who is now the image of his
father walk the straight and narrow
way? Or will he do as so many others
are doing? Walk in his fathers tracks
down the bread road to shame and de-
struction? @
I mean to teach my little girl, to in
still into her mind that if q girl can get
nothing for husband but a drunkard,
she would better remain single.
Train your girl in some especial line,
and give her the best education you
can, but don't forget to teach her to be
| helpful To YOU; then she will be one
of the helpful sort and need not think
of marriage as a means of livelihood.
Excuse the length of this letter. Best
wishes to all.
