The late legislature passed no new insurance law, and did nothing to add to the work in the state auditor's office, but it did add a half dozen. high-salaried clerks to the auditor s payroll in the insurance department. | And it also added a lot of high-salaried employes in the other departments of that, office. Ex-Governor Lara bee. of lowa, who talked with President Roosevelt the other day about railroad matters, said afterward that the president told him in response to a question, that .he would no:, if trustee of an estate, buy railroad stocks as an investment. This was another hard blow at his former friend, Harriman, and other stock gamblers of his stripe. AU of us want happiness. You may think money will bring it, or success, or position, or famel but you may have all these and still be dissatisfied. The world, instead of being bright, will still be gray; and then some morning you will perform one little kind act, and for the first time you will catch a glimpse of that real happiness that nothing else could ever have brought.—South Bend Tribune.

The report that "Boss" Joe Healing is likely to be disciplined by the government on account of "pernicious political activity" should be a warning to other federal officeholders in Indiana that President Roosevelt ij not favorable to the nomination of Mr. Fairbanks. Healing is not only a Fairbanks lieutenant, but he is United S ates district attorney. He has been j guilty of "pernicious political activity" ever since he has been in office, but not until now has the Roosevelt administration complained. Its present action is very significant. L Now and then a fleeting paragraph J has appeared' in some newspaper I dispatch to the effect that the Hon. I Charles Warren Fairbanks and the i Hon. Theodore Roosevelt "are the I best; of friends," and that Mr. Fair-

banks "approves the president's policies." But Mr. Fairbanks does not say so with his own mouth, nor will he do anything of the sort. If he has any strength as a candidate for the Republican nomination it comes from the men who are opposing the policies about which Mr. Roosevelt professes to be concerned. Don't abuse the skunk. According to an official bulletin on the "grasshopper problem." prepared by F. M. Webster and issued by the agricultural department, the very highest praise should be given this much shunned animal. Mr. M ebster does not contend that the skunk should be taken into the bosom of the family, but he maintains that they are fond of grasshoppers and are deemed by the bureau of biological survey as the most useful of animals. While they are not recommended as a pet for flat dwellers, nor as a desirable acquisition to the average household. Mr. Webster says they deserve protecSon. rather than destruction by the farmer, so. save your skunks. The wreck train on the C E. railroad passed through our city today enroute from Hun ting” on east. The local representatives were unable to state where the trouble was.

MOVE CAREFULLY (Continued from page 1.) opening. They will leave for the exposition tomorrow morning in company with the official commi'jtees representing the two branches of Congress. During the day they called on the president in a body to pay their respects. The speaker was much amused over a story telegraphed from Indianaixdis and printed in the eastern papers that he had been 'tie center of an important political conference in Indianapolis. He explained that he ran over there to meet his friend Senator Hemenway, and, of course, called on the Vice-President. "I did not see or hear of this story until 1 arrived in Washington." said he, and did not suppose that anybody tkwk it seriously.” Thomas Taggart has contributed a great deal toward enlivening the Democratic political situation by giving the Democratic leaders a quiet tip that he will not seek to be re-elected to the national chairmanship. M hen or in what manner he imparted this information is not divulged, but all of the Democrats in the front ranks of leadership have the tip and already a spirited contest is on tor the place at the head of the pary organization, which Mr. Taggart will voluntarily relinquish next year.
