ARE AFTER THE PRESIDENT There is practically no correspondent writing of the present political situation who does not tell the country teat President Roosevelt is very mueh disturbed over the growth of the movement In favor of Governor Hughes as the Republican candidate for the presidency. It has been said many

times —and there has been no denial

—that Mr. Roosevelt Is determined that the governor shall not have the New York delegation, and that every effort win be made to break the hold of the governor on New York state. We can understand why such men as Woodruff should take this stand, but it is hard to see why the president should have the least objection to Hughes. Rather it would seem as though he would be preud of the governor of his ewn state. It was largely due to the Roosevelt influence that Hughes was nominated and elected governor. As he has abundantly “made good” we should think that Mr. Roosevelt would claim credit for him and his administration, and would look on the favor with which Hughes

is now regarded as really a tribute to himself. If, therefore, New York wishes to send a Hughes delegation we are unable to see why the president should object Is New York the only state that is not to be allowed to have a "favorite son?” —Indianapolis News. The movement in Kentucky looking to the sending of Henry Watterson to the United States senate is one to be encouraged regardless cf party. "Marse” Henry would do credit to his state, which is much more than can be said of Beckham.—Muncie Star.

HOW IT STICKS.

Decatur Has Found It Hard to Off. Hard to bear, harder to get rid of. Is an itching skin complaint. Eczema or litching Piles. Doan's Ointment relieves and cures itehiness of the skin. Decatur people endorse this statement: John Woy, living at 616 Fifth street, Decatur, Ind., says: “I used Doan’s Ointment with very beneficial results and can recommend it very highly as a remedy for skin eruption. For years I was annoyed by an irritation of my limbs which was very exasperating in warm Weather. At night I suffered terribly and have had to get up out of my bed on account of it. I tried a number of remedies, but got no relief. Finally Doan’s Ointment was brought to my notice and I got a box at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store and applied it. It stopped the itching in a few moments, and a few applications cured the eruption. There has been no trouble since.” For sale by all Price 50 cents.

WALSH IS ON TRIAL Wealthy Chicago Banker Being Tried in Federal Court. DEFENSE TECHNICAL The Indictment Contains One Hundred and Sixty Counts. Chicago, Nov. 13. —The trial of John R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago National bank, on the charge of misapplication of the funds of that institution, commenced in the United States Distrist court, before Judge A. B. Anderson. The indictment under which the trial was brought contains 160 counts. Th* offense charged is punishable by a tern of from five to ten years in prison. It is believed that the trial will last about one month. The chief issue in the case is whether or not Mr. Walsh used the funds of the bank to aid his own enterprises. It is also charged in other indictments that Mr Walsh borrowed from hie own bank more than the legal amount of 10 per cent of the capital stock. This trial, however, will not touch upon this latter question. The defense will be somewhat of a technical character. The government claims that Mr. Walsh substituted for the money it is alleged he took from the bank, securities that were of a doubtful character. The defense will claim that these securities were good and that nobody ever lost a dollar because of them.
