Takes Tariff Stand.
Explaining his position on the ques-
ton of tariff commission, Judge
Comstock said. Great care must be
used in preparing schedule of tariff
rates. 1t should be devised by COM
ission of men, learned and expert
anced in SO important a subject, and
with view to the protection and en-
eouragement of our home industries.
Judge Comstock declared that what
prosperity the country was now ell.
Joying was due to the European war;
blood soaked prosperity" he called it,
and asserted that had it not been for
the war the United States would now
be lin the midst of panic SURPRISING
the panics OF former years" He said
that one-sixth of the railroad systems
were in the hands of receivers and
that for four years there had practi-
cally been no railroad construction.
Speaks on Defense.
Speaking on the question of national
defense, Judge Comstock said: Il
Cont believe that we will be involved
in the present European war. "A wish
may be father to the thought To
avoid conflict we can make almost
any sacrifice. save that of honor. Or
binary prudence, however, requires
that we should be prepared for the
worst, to meet any extingency that
may arise, our land and sea forces
should be greatly increased and
strengthened and equipped with all
that modern experience has found eff
ficient in war.
I'm the matter of preparedness, the
Democratic party has recently. and is
just now, showing its indifference to
the Situation or its incapacity to meet
it, in falling to construct or begin to
construct war ships, the construction
of which have been authorized. The
attitude of some Democratic members
of congress upon the question of ma.
tional preparedness is such that the
measure of preparation which may be
taken must be with the support of Re-
publican votes. I mention this as one
of the things the administration has
left undone | cannot take time to dis
cuss other things, some in the lines

has done or has left undone, and
which are the subjects of serious criti-
cism"
Referring to his own candidacy for
the congressional nomination, the
Judge said:

instructed to complete the plans and
specifications for the south side bridge
and continue the work on the Main

uphold the commissioners decision,
Surveyor Peacock will be instructed to
make the plans and specifications.
Mueller Demands Probe.
Bridge Engineer Mueller insisted
that the board take immediate action
on running down these rumors"
Il want you commissioners to call

statesmen or agents but you should call

at stake. You should not only call
the contractors but also all the men
who have been giving information to

The commissioners readily agreed
with the statement of Mueller and said
that while they had no power to force
any person to testify before them,
they would ask Peacock to furnish
them with tie names of the peopl,

County Attorney Hoelscher said
that any decision that would be made

case of an appeal by Mr.. Peacock,

Mr.. Mueller suggested that If the
case should go to the circuit court
where Peacock would be forced to
prove his competency to override the

the self-denial which makes one

Travelling Man
Receivers From
Serious Illness

In order for anyone to obtain the
full measure of pleasure and success
from life, it is necessary that he or
she should be possessed OF health in
mind and body. 1t is certain that the
greatest thing in all the world is
health; without it man can scarcely
do anything worth doing; he can &C
complish little that is really worth
accomplishing. Attention to health
then should take the place Of every
other object. That which is necessary
to secure 1t should receive considera-
ton in preference to everything else.
Vim Hepatica, the new herbal system
tonic. is bringing health to thousands
and is gaining big following here.
where grateful people are daily testi-
tying to it's merits and recommending
it to their friends.

GRAY MAY

IContinued From Page One.
Gray has now crystalized in Gray's
own county. Fayette, where wholesale
assertions from the Gray ranks to the
Lontz lines are being reported. A
Connersville newspaper is now leading
the fight against Gray This paper
calls attention to the fact that in the
Lontz advertisements the statement is
made that vote cast for Lontz in
the primary election is vote for
progress and efficiency" and the in
quiry is made what vote for Gray
would count for. The editor confesses
he does not know and remarks that
Gray has not enlightened the public
in this matter.
Paper Roasts Gray.
Friday this Connersville newspaper
took another jab at it's fellow towns
man in the following editorial:
THE Wayne county mail muddle
has proved an agency that set things
going much to the dissatisfaction if
not the political disaster, of the Con-
nersville statesman. 1t was this, it
will be generally believed. which caus-
ed Mr.. Gray to turn upon the post
office department in a speech in the
house Thursday, and denounce it in
unmeasured terms for what it had
done to the well ordered rural mail
system in Wayne county. Naturally
the people of the district will now ask
why did not Gray speak out long ago.
Why was he so long silent partner
of the inquitous department and why
did he aid and abet it in it's Wayne
county work? This self-lauded cham
pion of the common people waited too
long in admitting what the people
knew to be wrong from the first.
Many will construe this latent out
break as Finly's political swan song,
a reason assigned for his approaching
defeat They will mentally picture
him as watching the approach of
monster lawnmower with John NJ.

er behind. cutting not only the grass
but the ground itself from under his

CITY'S LOW COST or LIVING
Cheap Dinners Supplied Working
Girls in British Metropolis
Without Loss.

Whatever the fate of Germany, the
English are Boosting of the plentitude
of food in their country. What is
claimed to be the cheapest lunch in
London is provided by a girls club as
ISOLATED with the Social Institutes
Union for Women and Girls, of which
Lady Ancaster is president, says an
exchange.
In connection with the union there
is a Women's and Girls Dinner Hour
club, whose members meet and dine
daily at the w. H. Smith Memorial
ball, in Portugal street, Kingsway.
Some 200 working girls lunch there
every day, and the meal costs them
only 13 cents. Before the war the
price was ten cents, but the advance
in the cost of certain articles has
obliged the management of the club to
put up the charge.
The following is a typical menu
from which the girls may make a
choice:
Roast leg of mutton. boiled rabbit.
steak pie or sausages.
Baked or boiled potatoes, cabbages
or haricots.
Boiled mince roll, rice pudding, rhu-
barb tart or stewed rhubarb.
Apart from the dining oom there is
a coy restroom, with a piano, and
many of the girls are accomplished
players. Membership in the club costs
four cents a month and working girls
are joining it in increasing numbers.
The club is run without a loss. All
girls working in the neighborhood are
invited to attend.
