CLIPPED COMMENT
FARM RELIEF

Republican leaders announce that
farm relief will be the principal is
sue to be stressed in this years state
campaign. But, before these men
and their friends start out upon their
speaking campaign they would do
well to consult the farmers them
selves as to just what relief is being
sought. 1t might be surprising to
those in charge of the states poll
tics to discover that a very large
number of farmers at least, certain
" they are numerous in this part Of
Indiana, are not seeking guaranteed
prices for their products nor are they
asking the government to adopt any
policy supposedly in their behalr
that is economically unsound.
The average intelligent farmer
who is making a business of farming
Just as others are making a bus1-
ness of operating clothing stores and
factories, is relying far more upon
his cooperative societies and farm
bureaus for aid than he is upon the
government, and very generally, he
is saying that provided the Congress
will see to it that the tariff schedules
are arranged for his protection ne
will not ask much more from that
source.
The farmers have been experienc-
ing a rather hard time in the last
few years, but they are coming out
of it and it is doubtful if many OF
them believe political candidates
have any panacea for their ills

CAN'T REMEMBER HISTORY

Who was the hard-hearted credi-
tor a quarter of a century ago, when
the foreign Powers presented China
with a bill for suppressing the anti
foreign outbreak of 1900? Was it
Uncle Sam? The bill he put in was
so moderate that his European as
sociates called him not a Shylock
but silly old sentimentalist. When
he subsequently returned a large
portion of this indemnity to China
he was severely criticized in Great
Britain and on the Continent for
setting an example which other
countries could not follow without
giving up money they needed in
their business. Some of this money
went into armaments that figured in
the war for which Europe is now SO
reluctant to pay. The Powers which
squeezed" China in 1901 and which
now protest against paying the Uni
ted States a moiety of what they
borrowed from it must have short
memories.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

POLITICIANS HOME
WRECKED BY BOMB
Members of Chicago Family Hurled
From Beds, But None
Is Injured.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 3.-The West
Side home Of Morris Eller, Cook Coun-
ty Republican chieftain. was wrecked
early today by bomb.
Members of the family were hurled
from their beds by the blast which de-
molished the interior of the building
and broke windows for blocks around,
but were uniniured.
The bomb was set off in a side door
way of the apartment. Persons in an
upper apartment occupied by the fam
ilv of Mr. Eller's son-in-law. and in the
adjacent home of Joseph Ginsberg
also were thrown from their beds.
Police said the charge was one of
the most powerful ever set here.
Authorities were first inclined to
think the bomb had been intended for
the home of Ginsberg, a. professional
bondsman who three months ago was
kidnapped, shot and thrown out of an
automobile in the outskirts of the city.
Later, however. they turned to the
theory that political enmity was re-
spOnsible.

by the Stark County grand jury for
the first degree murder of Don r.

Rudner, MassilOn hardware mer-

before the grand jury made it's report
to Judge Abram w. Agler.

proprietor, was formally charged with
the murder in a warrant issued on

also on a charge of conspiracy to vio-
late the Federal prohibititn law.
McDermott of Manly Clio. Pa, and
Cleveland is at large, having been
sought throughout the Nation since
July 80 as key man in the murder
mystery.

and three games behind the
