The Portland Dialy Sun looks like a daisy, and has all the appearances of a bright and healthy youngster with a promising future. The Sun is giving {he news like an old timer and with the proper nerve will succeed. The publisher of a Chicago newspaper went before the bouse investigating committee at Washington and testified that the paper trust was costing him SIOO,OOO a year; or, in other words, he was paying tribute to the trust to that extent. But Uncle Joe never batted an eye or turned a hair. —Columbia City Post. * — ■ X To Union City falls the honor of entertaining the convention that will nominate the next congressman from the Eighth district. They have promised to do honor to the occasion and to that end will make it the greatest event that ever happened in Randolph county. Besides Congressman Adair, the Hon. Thomas R. Marshall and State Chairman Jackson will grace the occasion with their presence. Every county in the Eighth district should send large delegations to Union City on Wednesday, June 10.

Now comes the Anderson Bulletin, one of the greatest of the many great Indiana newspapers, with a thirtytwo page industrial edition giving in detail the beauties of Greater Anderson, and its halt million dollar factory fund. This achievement of their thrifty and enterprising people is really wonderful and means the establishment of ten large factories and twenty thousand population. While always good, this particular edition of the Bulletin was a gem of newspaper excellence and could not be excelled by any other newspaper in the state. Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic nominee for governor of Indiana, is getting himself in readiness for a vigorous campaign. He met with the state committee on Tuesday and mapped out a program that provides for the part he is to have in the political contest to be fought out in this state during the summer and fall. The fame of Mr. Marshall as a forceful, persuasive speaker is widespread and will insure him large audiences wherever he may go. His pleasing personality will attract to him a goodly number of men who ordinarily take but little interest in political discussion.—South Bend Times.

Ever since Tom L. Johnson has , been a factor in Ohio politics there ’ has been strife and contention in the Democratic camp. He is pre-eminent-ly a factionisc, a faddist, a demagogue and a disturber. Nev*T in accord with the fundamental principles of Democracy as expounded by Jefferson, Jackson. Douglas. Tilden, Thurman and Groesbeck, he has embraced every fad that had in it the elements of temporary popularity. Having an abundance of means, he has been able to rally around his standard all the fag ends of mixed society and unstable political affiliation. Without millions he would long ago have sunk into political obscurity,—South Bend Times.
