SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT. There is a deal of chatter de w~n at Washington, and in the newspapers of the country, at the present time, about supporting the president and his policies. In fact, ever since the White House sprung its >5,080.08® conspiracy story there has been little else coming from Washington except matter pertaining to who will and who will not support Roosereltism. Take it for granted that everybody understands what Roosevelt's policies are. as for the Hoosier, it is willing to concede that it is about as difficult to know what Mr. Roosevelt s policies are. as it was for the Irishman to know when he had that proverbial Cea. After the Hoosier has made up its opinion that Rooseltism is thus and so. it is but to fend that over night there has been at ’.east a slight modification of policy—or a new one — down at the White House But suppose Rooseltism is definite.what then' In this great nation it is unreasonable to think that ail men would have every opinion alike, there must be differences and some men are going to have the courage to speak up. if Mr. Roosevelt is the tolerant, reasonable man which administration supporters delight in telling us he is, he should play fair and listen to what those who oppose him have to say. But such is not the executive s policy. Support that which I want supported, or be everlastingly politically blasted." is the sum and substance of the edict recently promulgated from the White House. In New York, in Ohio, in the South—in fact, where not —federal officeholders have been given reason to tremble in their shoes if at any time in their political history they have done anything opposed to any of fce Roosevelt ideas. It is urged by the president's friends that he dos t give a hang far men. that it is -principle* " in which he is interested. It may all be. but it is

be ac.tired that he big stick is generail used » a nma wb o has permitted ■ himself to become aligned with politi-; cal enemies of certain individuals who are standing at the head of a Roose-I veltian machine. —The Hoosier. In speaking of the joint session at Jouesbdro of the Muacie Presbvterv i and the Womau's Missionary Society the Maries Leader says that Hnnsj Peter Preece a worker in the interesi | of home missions, gave some attention | to Senator Beveridge and Vice Presi * dent Fairbanks. The Leader says: < He stated that nothing in years and . possibly in the history of the Msraa, church had transpired to give Mor-j monism such a lift as the speech of > Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indi-1 ana in which he favored the seating of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah He said that this speech, published worldwide. and giving a Mormon such prominent recognition, had dune more to give the Mormon cnu.-ch a new tease on life than any ting transpiring in the ' lent hlitiry of the church. He said C - r divertige speech is be-’ ins used by Morm /n emissaries every-j where to gain recruits for their ; church. Nor was the vice president' spared by tb» speaker. He said that! the single ae of Fairbanks in calling Reed Smoot to the chair for a few moments was fluek a recognition as to give the Morans much encourage ment. So. it seems, the Republican party’s alliance with the Mormon hierachy is bearing trail both religious and sec-

The Bureau of Labor has again made an investigation into the cost of living, with the usual result. It needs no statistics to tell the average man that the cost of living has risen; he knows it by the expenditure that even necessities cause; nor are we much wiser in being tedd by statistics, for in its recent compilation the bureau dees not go into the cause. But it affords hints, and. of course, figures are necessary to establish a case. The examination which touched the retail prices of 258 commodities shows that as a whole-the level is higher than at any other time in the seventeen-year period covered, the average for last year being 5.6 per cent, higher than the year before, and 3C5 per ceut. higher than in 1897, which was the lowest for the seventeen-year period. The articles considered were placed in nine groups, and all of these show advanced prices except two —farm products and drugs and chemicals, ’-these ranging lower than in 19®5. — Indianapolis News. CROMWELL'S HORSES. An A erererent That Be?*. ths Prretscbsr In Hyd* Park. -As Cromwell rose in power and rank his love, of horses began to be more ■ conspicuous." says a writer in Blackwood’s. “When be started from London in 1689 to reconquer Ireland be went forth m that state and equipage as the like hath hardly been seen, him self in a coach with six gallant Flanj decs mares, reddish gray.” In 1655, I when the Spanish ambassador took his leave of the lord protector. Cromwell sent him “his own coach of six wh.te horses" to convey him to and from Whitehall “Certain it is." adds the narrator, “that none of the English 1 kings had ever any such.”

The protector was not much of a whip, however. In 1’54 the Count <af Oldenburg sent Cromwell a present of , six horses, and the protector's anxiety io make trial of theJ- quality ted to sos well known adventure in Hyde park, i On Friday. Sept. 29. be went with Sec- | retary Thurice and some of his gentle- • men to take air in the park. ordered the six horses to be harnessed to his coach, put Thurioe inside of it and un- 1 (tertook to drive himself. -HA highness." said a letter from the Dutch i units*s lor. "drove pretty handsomely tor some time, but at last provoking those horses too much with the wb.p, they grew unruly, whereby his highness was flung out of the coach box ’ upon the ground. His foot getting bold in the tackling, he was carried away a good white in that posture, but at last he got his foot -Sear and so ? came to escape. He was presently ■ broegbt h me and let Wool and after some rest taken is now well again. Th- . secretary, being hurt on his ankle will, leaping out of the coach, bath been forced to keep his chamber hitherto and been unfit tor any business.” The royalist Scruggs. afterward chief justice, writing of this Incident, hoped that the next fall would be from a cart . —hinting at the gallows. As to Crom- i well’s views ou the burning question of horse racing it is difficult to arrive at a positive conclusion. Ha eoastant aim was to possess as many goad ; lyrs~s as he could afford.

A Dramatic Death. A sergeant major of an infantry regiment stationed in Bremen was sentenced to a slight disciplinary punishment for having mortally wounded a man with a revolver in the course of a fight He appealed against this, but was informed that his appeal had been rejected. He then ordered his men to load their rifles with blank cartridges, but during their absence reloaded them with ball cartridges. He then drew up j his men in firing line and carefully showed them bow to aim their rifles straight at bis heart With the utmost calm he then ordered. “Fire!" and fell ' with four bullets through his heart Boot jacks Out ot Date. While boots were worn boot jacks to aid in removing them from the feet were in general use. but they fell into desuetude with the wearing of shoes, and are now mere curiosities, to be found in lumber rooms and coF tedious of ancient articles. |IJ» to Toledo and return via 1 Clover Leaf Route every Sunday, if
