Joseph W. Wallace of Auburn township announces as a candidate for County Sheriff subject to the Democratic primary. He seeks the party nomination to lead the sheriff's office in the upcoming election cycle.
County Treasurer Melvin L. Behner runs in the Clark County Democratic primary on September 9. The primary determines the party nominee for the treasurer position.
A Bem column mocks a partisan statement attributed to the Herald and let the insult pass. The piece argues Democratic tariff and free trade policies raise wood and wool prices, noting sheep losses and stock declines, with prices rising and the outlook worsening next year.
A discussion of Norman Angell’s The Great Illusion argues conquest brings little gain and heavy costs, with Mexico-US relations and imperial dangers. The piece then reports Danville Republicans announcing that Uncle Joe Cannon will run again for Congress, a move met with party enthusiasm and declared readiness for a vigorous campaign.
The American Economist denounces any plan to supply U.S. army flags from British mills amid cheaper foreign bids. It warns that outsourcing Old Glory to England insults national pride and urges keeping flags American-made. Charles Heber Clark echoed the sentiment at Nathan T. Folwell’s Philadelphia event calling for exclusively U.S.-made banners.
The piece cites Mr Angell arguing that Americans lack straight thinking, not a perverse love of fighting, as the main reason war persists and the great illusion remains unresolved. It calls the view timely for readers to study individually.
Members and friends of the Modern Woodmen of America deplore factional squabble endangering its prosperity. They urge leaders to foster fraternity and neighborliness rather than pursuing federal court injunctions.
The Youths Companion lauds the Moro Constabulary and Scouts for guiding and assisting U S troops in Mindanao and Albay. It recounts actions of Lt Harrison Fletcher, Malasiqui, Lieut James Wood, Lieut Leonard Furlong, and Corpral Malaco in 1902 to 1907 amid mutinies and battles with Moro outlaws.
The advertisement claims Fletcher's Castoria helps kidney and bladder trouble and backache. It cites Al T. Kelly of McIntosh Alabama praising the product and urges readers to try it, noting it is sold by all druggists.
