Littefield, of Maine, told the Illinois State Bar association that there hav e been only seven convictions under the Sherman anti-trust law since Roosevelt has been president. And then he added: “Senator Lodge, in the national Republican convention, said that President Roosevelt had enforced the laws as he found them on the statute books. The Republican platform congratulates itself on the enforcement of all the laws. Ip the light of cases I have cited to you it would seem that proclamation and not performance constitute enforcement of the law." In view of this, ft is no wonder that the trusts are all for Taft and Sherman. They have no reason to be afraid of "Peaceful Bill" and “Funny Jim.” ELZEY'S CHOLERA BALM.

■ AN ORDER OF GREAT INTEREST • United States No Longer a Missionary Country. An arder of great interest to Catholics and one that, while the changes i are at present sweeping, but com- ) paratively inconsequential, marks an ; improvement in the history of the i world’s progress was issued on July i 6 by Pop e Pius X in the form of a pontificial document. It is a reorganization of the propaganda and effects the United States, Great Britain, Holland and Canada, removing them from the class of missionary countries and will mean th e recognition by the holy see that the church in these countries is canonically organized. The movement for the change lias been in progress for a number of yearg and the news of the granting of the recognition will be most welcome to the countries affected. The most important effect the order will have will be in the matter of treating with the pope on the question of candidates for office in this country. The Roman Catholic hei*archy in this country will now be permitted to treat directly with the : papal secretary at Rome and will , have th e same standing as has ehe ( hierarchies of France, Spain or Austria. No official notification has been received by Archbishop Alerding. who ! states that he knows nothing of the matter. The news has been officially confirmed, however, in Rome. The issuance of the order is the last step by which this continent comes to , an equal footing with the countries of the old world, the first step having been taken by Columbus. The event is of great historical importance. —Fort Wayne News. THE KIRK-HARTMAN NUPTIALS Well Known Geneva Lady Married at Detroit Today. Mr. Simpson M.

The best way to support churches is one of the questions of the day. and it affects every community in the country, Bays an exchange. Every commuity that amounts to much, has churches and they are supported in some way by th e community in which they are located. As a matter of course the largest part of the burden of each church falls on the congregation of each particular denomination. Yet, business men in every town help to support,' as a geeral rule, all the churches. The theo.-y on which the churches have a claim on the community is that they aid by their teaching and their influence in good governmet and in maintaining a high standard of morals and good behavior. A community of church goers always ranks high in those qualities that go to make good and desirables communities. o QUESTIONABLE REGULATIONS. Why Are Japanese Maidens Refused Admittanc e to U. S. Is this "the land of the free and the home of the brave” when it refuses admittance to fifty Japanese maidens who arrived at Seattle, for whom some of our Japanese residents are anxiously waiting to espouse them? Surely wives are as much a necessity to thes e industrious people as they are to the Russians and Italians. who also send for their sweethearts when prosperous enough to support them. Under what law or regulation these Japanese are denied admission is not clear to any on e out. side of the immigration bureau, for as the Japanese men are here legally or they would be deported, one can hardly se e good reasons for the denial of allowing them the civilizing in-1 fluence of wives and children.—Albi n Democrat. Y. P. C. U IS A GREAT ORDE.3 Young People of U. B. Church Doing Much Good. A business meeting was held by the Y. P. C.

FORTUNE HUNG UP As Premium Money f Or this Year’s Indiana State Fair LIVE STOCK LEADS Nearly Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars in Purses for the Races The premium list of the Indiana State Fair shows that the prize awards have been increased In all departments and for the coming exposition, to be held the week of September 7, and that the total amount is $58,663. The largest showing is for the trotting and pacing races, the sum being $21,900. The horse shows in the livestock pavilion will have a total of $10,538 in prizes. $2,107 going to draft horses, I $720 to coach horses, $320 to mules, and $7,391 tn light harness horses and saddlers. In the cattle departments the premiums amount to $14,251. the beef cattle premiums making a total of $10,876, and $3,375 going to dairy cattle. For the dairy and creamery exhibits the prizes amount to $2lO. In the sheep show $2,665 is offered and $2,060 will be distributed in the swine department. In the poultry show the awards offered amount to $2,499. For farm products the premiums reach $1,189, and on fruit. $696. The prizes on plants and flowers amount to $830; bees and honey. $248; table luxuries, $209. and on fine arts $1,370. In the cattle and horse shows the increases in premiums have been especially large. The giving of silver cups will be more extensively followed at the coming fair than at any Indiana exposition in fifty years. About SSOO worth of these trophies will be awarded as special prizes. The American Percheron Society offers a SIOO cup for the best stallion and four mares* shown at the fair. The American Breeders' Association offer a SSO cup in the mule class. A trophy for which many are expected to compete is the SIOO cup offered by the American Saddle Horse Breeders’ Association for the bets stallion or mare in the horse show. Three cups will be awarded in the cattle shows. Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith of Cambridge City, who is well known as a raiser of Shorthorns, offers a silver cup for the best Shorthorn heifer bred in Indiana. The Meredith cup was won by General Solomon Meredith at the fourth Indiana fair, held in 1855, and the award was made to him on Shorthorn cattle. For several years General Meredith drove his blooded Shorthorns to Indianapolis from his farm, the route being over the old National road, and the distance was fifty-three miles. General Meredith became interested in Shorthorn qattle In 1836 and founded his Oakland Farm herd adjoining Cambridge City, in 1851. He was a successful exhibitor at every Indiana State Fair up to the Civil war, following the exposition to every city where tt was held during its migratory days. Mrs. Meredith has twenty heavy silver goblets and four pitchers, as well as an entire solid silver service of coffee sugar, cream and water bowl, all of which were won by General Meredith at Indiana fairs. The cup she offers is one of the choicest of the Meredith collection. T. 8. Graves of Indianapolis offers a SSO cup for the best pure-bred heifer of any breed shown at the State Fair. Two years ago Walter Hadley and Allie Brown, both well-known Indiana breeders, offered a cup valued at SSO for the best pair of Herefords shown at the fair, the cup to be won twice by the same breeder to obtain permanent possession. In 1906 this cup was won by VanNatta & Son of Lafayette, and last year by A. C. Huxley of Bunker Hill. The only cup offered in the swine department is that of the American Berkshire Breeders' Association, the trophy to go to the best herd of Berkshires. The American Percheron Society *lll give a gold medal in one of the special Percheron classes. The American Association of Importers and Breeders of Belgian Draft Horses offers two gold medals, each valued at SIOO, one for the champion stallion and the other for the champion mare. There is every indication that the liberal premiums will result in the finest live stock shows, especially in horses and cattle, ever seen in Indiana. Not only will the best stock in the state compete for ribbons, but many of the most famous herds and stables of the country will be strongly represented. It is expected by the Fair management that the famous show teams owned by the big beef packing concerns of Chicago will be exhibited for the special prizes. It will be the first time these big trucks and monster horses have ever been seen in Indiana, and they in themselves will make up a rich horse show. The outlook for crops in the state is such that a fine agricultural disp-ay is looked for. The fruit growers will show the best products of their orchards and vineyards, and the ar * building, always of interest to women, again be overflowing.
