This adds one more state to those in

the Hoosier State Daily League; Hi

Iowa, South Dakota and Michigan are
working into Daily publishers associ-
atoms. These organizations are prov
ing a boon to general advertisers
who wish to cover the country, state

for only the territory desired and COW
cred, without any waste.
Mr.. Bates believes that soon the
inland daily newspapers, through
these organizations, will enter the
field of development work and pre-
sent the claims Of daily newspapers to
the manufacturer with such a mass
of detailed commercial data and plans
of cooperation, as to outrival any
thing yet attempted by any medium
of publicity. These leagues are doing
this work individually, at present;
collectively, their strength will be
enormous.

FRANK COMPTON
PASSES CIGARS
Returs From Washington and Report
ed Engagement to Miss Wilson
is Recalled.

White House newspapers please
copy:
Frank Ebert Compton has passed
the cigars!
For one week this important fact
has remained hidden from the world.
And along with the revelation comes
the news of congratulatory smiles
and handshakes accompanying the
cigars. 1t was at banquet of the
Theta Delta Chi a week ago yesterday
in the Hotel La Sale.
However, no fraternity brother
could be found yesterday who would
explain the mystery Of the smiles and
handshakes. Asked whether they
were due to the rare bouquet of the
cigars-Havanas retailing at so cents
each-one Of the brethren side
stepped with the evasive reply:
ooh, no. Mr.. Compton had merely
returned from trip to Washing
ton, D. c."
Incidentally it became known that
Mr.. Compton had once more seen
Miss Margaret Wilson, the only I'M
married daughter of the president
This circumstance recalled that in
August, 1915, Chicago newspapers
published interesting announcements
Of an engagement. Mr.. Compton, who
is well known publisher, denied
them with;
''There is no truth in the report
that | am to wed Miss Wilson"
With stress on the Havana incident.
smiled Mr.. Compton, happily. 81 do
little things like that every now and
then. Anyway, nobody can prove
they were 5O-cent cigars" Chicago

A. l.. FONTAINE, Publisher.
Thursday, March Is, 1917.
Senator La Toilette Still Silent.

Either the Senator has nothing to
say in defense of his filibuster proceed
ings in the Senate recently or else he
wants his act to stand without de
Tense. Perhaps he is waiting until the
press of the country have vilifed him
The Senator is a peculiar man. He
never answers, or pays any attention
to the press of the country who oppose
his action in his public life. At the
present time there appears to be
nothing too mean, or sarcastic, and
belittling that they can say, but what
is being said about him. When enmity
an dpersonal abuse enters into the OPP
position of a man in public life it has
a tendancy to build a man up, instead
of tearing him down. The action of
the people in Wheeling, West Virginia,
in caacelling the date he had there for
a lecture this month is simply an in
dication how far some people can lose
their head OF all times this would
be IN opportunity for people to hear
Senator La Toilette on the public
questions of the day. They do him no
harm by such action, but on the con-
trary they pay him the amount for his
lecture and declare to the world that
he is the most conspicuous man on the
Chautauqua platform today Why
not hear him ? Listen to what he might
say in reference to the conspicuous
position that he took in the U, S. Sen
ate the other day, This one act of
La Follette's may be placing his name
and act in History that may prove his
upbuilding and making instead of his
defeat, disgrace and disappointment
We are anxiously waiting for some
word, or some statement as to just
why he took the lead in the filibuster-
ing proceedings in the United States
Senate.
Even the enemies of La Toilette ac-
cord him one of the ablest men in the
U. S. Senate today. While he is pc
culiar in the methods that he adopts
to accomplish results, there is no gain
saying the fact that when he talks, or
has anything to say in public print,
everybody listens and everybody reads
what he has to say. Senator La Fol
lette in his present conspicuous con-
dition before the world is either max
ing record that will place his name
among the great men of the world, or
he is making history that will pass
him down in disgrace and forgetful-
ness.
We still have hope that when he
does speak his reasons for his actions |
will be attended by some explanation
that will fortify him with his friends |
and former Supporters and defenders.
Why ne remains silent no one, but him |
self knows. When he decides to speak
the United States will listen to what I
he has to say. Whether right or
wrong, Senator La Toilette is fearless
