Manager Colonel Bryns attributes Ms pc we*’ of endurance large tv TO the freedon. from worry th st he has enjoyed since entering open his public career. He says aE the boners that have come to him are mere incidents to his educations: eßcr.x He never felt it necessary to enter into any mUu&b* for the purpose of securing either ncaufaation or election He never had a political machine and never intends te have. Defeat causes him neither worry nor distress. Whether or not he js to be nominated for the presidency rests entirely with the people. What a glorious state of affairs we would have if all who dibble in politics could be indue;d io take the view that Coloxei Bryan does of political machinarlcc.—South Bend Tines, Ex-Gevemor Black, of New York was the principal speaker recently before the Home Market cittb. of Boston and he divided his time in de ; nunefattou of the doctrine advocated i by Bryan and the policies of tk-e ! Roosevelt administration. He charged 1 Roosevelt with wearing a cloak of the republican party to serve sociiiism in and that the recent disasters ’ to trade and maxafacturing in this ’ country are the inesitable result of ' Roosevelts departure from true re- ' publican doctrine Every thrust at the < president <® the pan of Black was ■ received with deafening cheers The ; ■mtimeet against Roosevelt is growing very bitter and the same feeling . extends to Taft —Columbia City Post. < The etose observer of tass.ug • events is ready to testify that there > is a gradual improvement in toe ' b-ss’xe-ss of the country. The change , for the better is not swift but it is nevertheless a tangible fact.

THE GAS QUESTION (Coaiioe—l from t>ss— 1 > > which would prevent the latter cotn- ’ pany from allowing the LAW. V. , ■company to take gss from the new I Bryant field. After .hearing the cause ’ Judge LaFoilette granted a temporary : injunction, pending fur.her investigation .and thus continued the case over ‘ until the March term. Attorneys for the Warren company immediately filed ' an appeal which was granted to the supreme court and an efiort will be made to secure an early decision, but this necessitates cowaderxi le time From other sorfro s it is learned that the Futoa company, probably real- . iiing the loss of their ease in due time, are putting down new well?, which are to take the place of the wells tn use at present, when these are turned over to the Logansport and Wabash Valley Gas company. The Portland people seem to "have it oa us” so to speak for the present at least. Judge LaFbl'ette when asktd cc®ce*nir.g the gas question said in a knowing way: “Well you fellows haven’t seen any gas sround here lately, have youT” No. we harea't seen or smelt any and probably won't until that decision comes from the supreme court.
