Some one about like "Uncle Doc’’ Sharpe, who has charge, ’tis said, of Nate’s plans jo Wells county, should take him over completely and see that he quits spending money that will later come back to blight his chances of election. The Muncie Star, always for sale, hag another long article this morning very similar to the one used last week, both from the facile pen of “Uncle Nate,” harping the same old story about Congressman Sulloway and what he said about John Adair. What Sulloway says is true, that Adair's pension bill did not become a law, but who said it did? Nobody but Hawkins. Congressman Sulloway was furnished information by Hawkins, and Hawkins knew he was not telling the truth when he addressed Sulloway. The funny thing about it is that Hawkins don't apparently know that he will be caught in all these stories and continues to spend his money in the Muncie Star telling them. Read again what Adair DID say: “On the first day of the session I introduced a bill increasing the pensions of all widows to the sum of sl2 per month, and time and time again I went to the members of the committee and urged a favorable report on that bill. I kept up the fight for its passage until finally the committee reported a

committee bill containing all the provisions of my bill, except that it applied only to widows who were married prior to June 27, 1890. This provision I did not like, 1 believed it should apply to all widows who were married prior to the passage of the bill; but it was a long step in the right direction and I went to every democratic member of the house and asked them to vote for the bill, and I now call your attention to the fact, that although two-thirds of the democratic members were sons of Confederate soldires, every one of them voted for the bill and it became a law.” The old soldiers who are going to vote for Mr. Adair know what he said about the pension bill, and know that he made it very plain that his bill did not become law; but they do know Mr. Adair had a whole lot to do with the committee bill, which did become a law. One more such simple break from you, Uncle Nate, and you’ll be sent to the new epileptic village.— Bluffton Banfter. CLEVELAND ON THE TRUSTS Twenty years ago Grover Cleveland told som e truths about the operations of the tariff and depredations of the trusts that will only bear repeating but are worth remembering. Mr. Cleveland was speaking at a tim e when the trusts were few as compare dwith the present and of a tariff law that was a Sunday school tract compared with the iniquitous Dingley law'. The following will show Mr. Cleveland’s position: “He mocks the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich and that they in turn will care for the laboring poor.”—From the fourth annual message to Congress December, 1888. “We believe that these trusts are the offspring of a market artificially restricted; that an inordinately high tariff, besides furnishing the temptation for their existence, enlarges the limit within which they may operate against the people, and thus increase

the extent of their power for wrong doing.”—From letter accepting renomination in 1888. "As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence <4 trusts, combinations and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear, or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people’s masters. This is not equality before the law.” —From the fourth annual message to Congress Decmber, 1888. “Communism js a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and organized government. But the communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of overwhelming cupidity and selfishness, which insidiously undermines the justice and integrity of free institutions, is not less dangerous than the communism of oppressed poverty and toil, which, exasperated by injustice and discontent, attacks with wild disorder the citadel of rule.” — From the fourth annual message to Congress, December, 1888. The Democrats of Indiana have just cause for satisfaction at the action of the Denver convention.

The honor conferred on the state by the nomination of John W. Kern was not misplaced. me Democracy of the state will never have occasion to apologize for the candidate for vicepresident. He is a man of ability and withal a clean man, one who will at all times be able to give a good account of. himself. Men of all political faith in the state can conscentiously honor John Kern. — Muncie Press. Judge Erwin’s point against the extiavagancq of the republicans in power was well taken and exceedingly well put. In the past twelve years the appropriations of congress have increased 233 per cent., as against an increase of population of about 25 per cent. And yet It will be remembered that the appropriations of 1907 were denounced as excessive. Judge Erwin propounded a conundrum, too, when he asked how the republicans could be expected to revise the tariff downwards while their expenditures are constantly mounting higher and higher. The fact is the republican promise to revise the tariff schedules is confounded by their own estimates for the fiscal year just begun. In the face of a deficit this year, in spite of the high tariff, how are they going to

lower rates next year, when still greater appropriations are provided for? — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. It’s Billy H. cr Billy J. for president now, and either one of them will be acceptable to the American people. Whichever wins will do so by a close margin. The Republicans nominated the best man they could get for the place, and the Democrats the best man they had. If President Roosevelt has accepted another nomination, the Republican victory on the national ticket would have been assured. But next to Roosevelt William Jennings Bryan has the strongest hold on the common people today. Therefore the national campaign is going to be a close race. —Berne Witness.

his acceptance: ( I W. H. Taft is Going to Ac- < ( cept the Nomination of ( His Party < 1 VIEWS OF LEADERS ] I The Injunction Planks Will ' Be Treated Most Seriously I ( Hot Springs, Va„ July 14.—Beginning the work of writing his speech of 1 acceptance of the presidential nomination to be delivered in Cincinnati on July 28, W. H. Taft Is making a careful study and comparison of the Democratic and republican platforms adopted by the recent conventions. He has at his command copies of speeches of acceptance of candidates of both parties <jf recent years and within a day or two he will receive copies of ; the platforms of both parties for many , years. Mr. Taft is handling this task as a judge on the bench would hear a i case. He is looking through all the documents bearing on the subject and before concluding his work he will

have the views of many leaders of the party on the draft of the document. Os all the planks in the platform, that relating to injunctions is probably the one that win receive most attention. So much has been said on this subject, criticism from Democratic sources having been made on his record while on the bench in respect to the process of the injunction and the two parties having adopted planks on that subject which are likely to play an important part in the campaign. Mr. Taft will declare his position on this important question in forceful and unmistakable terms. Senator Warner’s notification speech will be so brief that it will not require over ten minutes in its delivery. The speech of acceptance will also be short. The letter of acceptance will treat public questions at greater length and will not be forthcoming for several weeks after the ceremony of notifying the candidate. o French Quinn arrived home this afternoon from Rome City, where he spent Sunday with his family.
