THE FRIENDS OF THE TRUSTS. Attorney General Bonaparte upon having his attention directed to a ru. mor that he would resign, promptly said that he belonged to the class that might die in office, but would never resign. Mr. Bonaparte, it seems, also belongs to that class of reformers who are active only when out of office. He gives little attention to his duties. It is his practice to spend two days a week in Vt ashington and the rest of the time looking after his private affairs in Baltimore. The public has been told a good deal about Mr. Roosevelt's "trustbusting" administration, but the appointment of Bonaparte as attorney general settled that matter. A Washington dispatch says: "The report widely circulated that he is preparing to resign from the cabinet was the outgrowth of the complaint, public and private, that he was not giving the affairs of his department much attention. Since Mr. Bonaparte became attorney general the trust litigation, of which there is now a great deal pending, has been committed to the care of Assistant Attorney General Purdy. The attorney general apparently has not been deeply interested in the various trust prosecutions." It is not strange that Bonaparte takes no interest in trust prosecutions. He is a friend of the trusts. He publicly said so a long time ago. Mr. Roosevelt must have known that he had said so when he made him attorney general. If Mr. Roosevelt was sincere in wanting the trusts prosecuted why did he appoint Bonaparte? And being a friend of the trusts, why did Bonaparte accept the office? It appears very clear that conclusions can be drawn which reflect no credit on either one of them.

The Republicans of Indiana like Uncle Joe, are fond of Governor Hughes, and just simply dote on Secretary Taft, but they have a presidential candidate of their own. —Ft. Wayne News. Congressmen did a few conversational stunts at Jamestown, but the first week of June the council of the general federation of women s clubs is to meet there. Wait for the big show. A lot of men are horrer stricken at the idea of a $5,000,000 fund to defeat Mr. Roosevelt They are the same gentlemen who rejoiced at the thought of a very large sum to elect him. Up to the present time if President Roosevelt favors the nomination by

the Republicans of any man except himself that man is the Hon. “Bill” Taft of Ohio. Perhaps he never heard about the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks approving his "policies’’ The Indianapolis Sun, a Republican paper, which is owned, it is understood, by George F. McCulloch, of Muncie, former chairman of the Republican state committee, cartoons Fairbanks as a dollar-mark candidate. The same paper also prints about everything it can get hold of showing that the vice president would be an unfit candidate. Among other things it had a column the other day about Mr. Fairbanks' habit of using government employes to do his personal work while they are drawing their pay from the public treasury. But is that "unßepublican?” It certainly would be un-Democratic. —Ft. Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette.

E. church, near here, has been suspended from the conference, pending the action of the committee, which will make its report in July. Mr. Raines is charged with accepting the doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and believing in the power of tongues as expounded by a pair of itinerant missions, and introducing them into his church and home. The Holy Ghosters have been operating in this part of the country since last February and are gaining a following from the smaller churches. o THE PARK HOTEL for sale or rent, a very desirable location.

REVIVE INTEREST The Rate Law Needs Further Strengthening MORE GOVERNMENT BUREAUS No Signs of Peace Between the Fighting Bosses in Ohio—a Bad Case.

Washington. May 14.—The president’s speech in Indianapolis on Memorial day may be counted on to mark the beginning of a general revival of interest in a demand for additional railroad legislation by congress. The rate law enacted one year ago, according to the administration view is not meeting the situation. Doubtless the president in planning to ask for further legilation is onlyvoicing public sentiment. Just what is needed in the way of more legislation is a question on which there is difference of opinion. The closest students of the subject are not quite ready to say what congress should do. The president is going about with an open mind. He seems to have a fixed conviction that much remains to be done before ideal relations between the public and the transportation companies are obtained, and he is gathering the views of many persons as to what sort of legislation should be attempted at the coming long session of congress. Out of the abundance of advice he is receiving he will endeavor to reach a decision. He will, it is believed, be prepared to make some definite suggestions in his Indianapolis speech.

Washington, May 14. —By the president's direction, all reports made and executive orders issued affecting Arizona. Alaska, Hawaii, Indian Territory, New Mexico, Porto Rico, Guam, Samoa and the other numerous Isles of the sea, to which Uncle Sam holds the title, with the exception of the Philippines, will bear the name of secretary of the interior Garfield. Heretofore the business relating to these possessions has been divided among three cabinet officers —the secretary of war. secretary of the navy and secretary pf the interior. With regard only to the continental possessions, or the territories has the secretary of the interior heretofore been charged with the responsibility. The change will make necessary the creation and organization of two or more bureaus by secretary Garfield and will immensely increase his labor and power.

Washington, May 14 —No new overtures for peace between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft were made today. The senator had nothing to add to his statement given out last night and the secretary did not have anything at all to say. Mutual friends of the two men believe it will be nowimpossible for them to get together on any working basis. Well posted Ohioans say that the outcome is likely to be divided delegation in the national convention unless a truce is eventually patched up.

WAS NEARLY ELECTROCUTED. Frank Bart ho I Has an Unpleasant Experience. Frank Barthol, an employee of the city, narrowly averted being electrocuted yesterday afternoon at four o'clock while fixing the lamp on the electric light in front of the Methodist church. Mr. Barthol in some manner grasped the wire that connects the light to the main line, and as he did this the wind blew the primary wire against the street wire, forming a circuit in which Mr. Barthol served as a conductor. He was knocked several feet away and fell flat on the street. Were ft not for the fact that the wires were blown apart at once. Mr. Barthol would possibly have been electrocuted. o PUBLIC SALE.

A RACE TO PITTSBURG. Two Children Trying to Outwit Their Father. Linton, Ind., May 14. —Eugene Voguet, aged eleven, with his little three year old sister, is flying toward Pittsburg and their mother from whom their father had became estranged. The children’s father is following on the Pennsylvania flyer in the race across states to Pittsburg, to prevent the mother from getting the children. The mothers’ love is the prize and Linton people hope to see the children win. Sympathizers with the children sent a telegram to the mother to meet the children and as both trains arrive in Pittsburg this afternoon, a scene is expected. Recently Voguet left his wife and brought tfie children to Indiana. The children pleaded to go back to their mother, but the father only laughed. Yesterday the children got into their father’s pocketbook and got some money. Eugene inquired how to get away, bought a ticket to Terre Haute and upon arriving there purchased a ticket to Pittsburg and left there last night. The father at Linton, heard of this and went to Terre Haute and boarded the following train. Linton people hope the children will win. Voguet is a coal miner. o C. B. Ford passed through the city today enroute to Monroe.
