RAPID MOTORISTS

The city fathers will have to find
some better manner OF repairing the
approaches TO the crossings at the
intersection Of King street and Ma

Mrs. H. E. Ritter. of Farmland, had
suffered for months with gall stone

was giving her hypodermic injections
to relieve pain and advised an oper.

work being done by the Interstate
Doctors, those expert medical special

and decided to take her to them as a
last resort She began their treatment
a month ago, and improved SO fast that
today she is practically we'll woman

may be benefited.

My husband was SO worried, and not

and it was the best days work l ever

The Primary Election

Governor Goodrich has appealed to the citi.
zens of Indiana to go to the voting booths next
Tuesday. Good citizenship, he argues, demands
that every voter cast ballot against the un-
worthy candidate seeking nomination for cleo
ton.
Wayne county has few men who must be
defeated in the interest of good citizenship. If
the intelligent voters of the county do their full
tickets. If they stay away from the polls,
friends of unworthy men may succeed in nomi-
mating the undesirables, or may give them
enough support to warrant the belief that the
voters of this county really mean to encourage
their ambition to hold public office.
This observation holds true of at least one
man who deserves the worst trouncing any prina-
airy candidate ever received in the history of
Wayne county. Every vote for this man will be
in support of bad government, inefficiency, and
a reign of unrest.
There is only one method whereby undesir-
able men can be kept off either the Republican
or Democratic ticket and that power has been
put in the hands of the voters. Go to the polls
to vote against them. If either party dominates
a man who is unfit for office, the blame will at
tach to the good citizens who neglected to do
their duty.
Governor Goodrich has set forth the princi-
pies that should guide the voters.
Study the character OF the men" says the
governor, their ability to fill the office to
which they aspire and then not only go to the
polls and express your intelligent judgment on
the day of the primary, but urge upon all your
friends and neighbors to do likewise
If Wayne county voters act on this advice,
only good men will be placed on the ticket for
election by both parties.

Taking Punishment

Hard pounding, gentlemen" said the Duke
of Wellington at Waterloo, 1--WE shall see who can
pound longest"
That observation seems to interpret the pres
ent battle in France and Flanders. It's case of
finding out what side can take the most pounding
without going down in defeat. The side that can
endure the concentrated hammering of it's OPP
ponent longest and come back freshest at the
end is the side on whose banners victory will
perch.
Germany is putting everything to the test.
It is win or lose, sink or swim for her. If the
slaughter of her divisions will defeat the Allies,
she is willing to spill the blood. The Allies are
accepting the challenge. They are fighting along
the lines laid down by Haig, with their backs
against the wall"
So far, all the pounding of Germany has only
brought her weakening of strength and no
gains that promise victory. The Allies have en-
dured the blows of the Kaiser in magnificent
manner Their losses have been small in COM
parison with the casualties they have inflicted
upon the foe.
Every indication shows that the Allies will
be able to pound the longest.

who plays partisan politics and appeals to class
and race is self-exposed- against him; vote
against him: throw him out Never mind what
he calls himself-Republican Democrat, Socialist
or Nonpartisan Leaguer-the label is camou-
flage. We need brains, honesty and American
ism this year. It is better to keep ten men out
of office on suspicion than to let one traitor in.
And not all the traitors are Germans or pro-Ger-
mans. Not all the profiteers are millionaires or
employers. There is something peculiarly vile
about the American who tries to make money or
office out of this war-who, while other men die
for an ideal, shouts out gold or place among the
graves.
