Manager, FORAKER IS NOT ALONE The panic wrought by Mr. Hearst« revelations concerning the relations between the Standard Oil company and Senator Foraker is. when considered from one point of view, rather amusing tnan otherwise Those familiar with our recent political history cnnnot be made to believe that the Ohio senator is a sinner above the other Galileeans. For instance.; there is Senator Aldrich, the boss of I the senate, the most influential Republican in the United States, with the possible exception of the presi-! dent, the man who is. under the coir mission of the Republican party, ec . gaged in the work of fixing up our currency for us. He. as every one knows, has the closest relations to the Standard Oil company, being connected with it by marriage as we;< as in other ways. Nothing is sal,, about him. Yet his relations are quite as close to the campaign as Foraker’s were. He has sometimes been spok eu cf as the manager of the Ugh -d State*. Why howl about Foraker and I* silent about Aldrich? Another interesting persona’ ty is • that of Edward H. Harriman. Inis ']

man is in closes; business alliance ; with the Standard Oil company. Yet Ifnnr years ago he was invited to ’he , white house by its present occupant. . The president wrote to him ray.ug ! we are both practical men.’- aad said that after the election he would be glad to consult Harr-na.' about his nessage. The presLHit a’-o asked Harriman in the clos ng days of th- campaign tr raise ma ts-y >n b-’ ' used New York, and Hirrimw did . n>se it’d contribute a o iarfe- of a miilit-n dollars to help os’ in NewYork. It was Harriman s attorney, Cromwell, who dictated the appointment of Sheldon, himseif a ’.rust tnan. to be treasurer of the RepubPcan national committee. In view of these facts we think that the ex-Pcsnent over the revelations concerning Fora ker is somewhat forced. As long as the Republican party controls tariff and financial legislation through Aldrich. as long as it chooses the treasurer of its national committee on the recommendation of Cromweli. the mere throwing over of Foraker will not be likely to placate the people who think that the Standard Oil company has too much power in politics i even in these days of reform and the I ; "square deal.” —Indianapolis News. GAINS IN MAINE Only a few figures about elections in Maine are necessary to show how strongly the tide is running this year ! in saver of the Democratic party. Taking the result of elections for governor within the last twenty years, we i have these figures: 1890 —Republican plurality. ,18.g53. 1894 —Republican plurality. .38,978. 1898—Republican plurality. .24.769. 1902 —Republican plurality. .27.490. 1904 —Republican plurality. .25.800. i St®- Republican plurality 6.000. The small plurality of 6,000 this year, after an exciting contest that brought out a heavy vote, shows how

> the political wind is blowing. The Ret publican national committee attempts ? to break the force of the Democratic gains by saying that only state issues , were involved. But as the Republii cans carried the state for congress- [ men by less than 6.000 on the total ■ vote it must be clear that national is- . sues were equally as powerful as state f issues in bringing about the result. ; E, H. Harriman. J. P. Morgan. Senj awe Aldrich and Senator Dupont are among the right hand men and confidential advisers of the president in . his great onsiaugh upon the wicked trusts. It will be hard for this combination to unload all their stink upon , the head of the once trusted Ohio senator The president has joined Hearst in denunciation of Foraker and what the senior Ohio senator stands so dard Oil. While- doing this he is holding tight to Senator Aidrich, the greatest of all - Standard Oil representatives in public life. The president knows where moat of his milk comes from, all right. Mr Taft says tba t ft is wrong to guarantee bank deposits by law because to Jo so will lead to bad banking and dishonesty. But he has. after much painful reflection come to the conclusion that it is proper for banks to voluntarily guarantee deposits. It I is queer reasoning. Mr. Taft appears to be as badly muddled on this ques-. tion as he is on an of the other issues. : Now that Bryan has been the guest ‘ of David B. Hill and of Alton B. Par- j ker and that Richard Olney has given ; his candidacy a formal endorsement, it may be assumed that the chasm in-' to which the Democrats have peered , with awe for twelve years has been ; closed, that harmony hag been at last established, and that everything is. now lovely in the camp.

Scon after Nathan Hawking Baker of this city was nominated for congress on the independence league ticket there was sent to the Star, through the regular channels, a photegraph of Mr Baker, together with a sketch of his life. Neither were used and Monday morning a postal card was received by the sender, saying that the Baker cut and reading matter could not be used in the Star “under orders of the managing editor.” The Hawkins paid advertisements, however, still appear from time to time ir. the Star. —Portland Sun. Herman Ridder of New York Js the editor of the Staats Zeitung the great German daily of the east. Mr. Ridder did not support Mr. Bryan in his other campaigns, but he is enthusiastically for him this year. Tn an interview the other day Mr. Ridder said: “From careful observation I am now convinced that the Democratic nations’ ticket win be elected this fall. I told Mr. Bryan so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes, neither does desire sway me in forming it, but it is the result of a careful canvass made by myself and many friends since the Denver convention adjourned. There will be many surprises when the result of the vote is known. I have found in every section of-the country bitter resentment against Republicans among members of their own party, because of the attitude of leaders on the tariff question." HAS MOVED HIS SHOP U.

;IS FOUND GUILTY | r Frank Cramer Convicted for Failure to Support His Child a , ■ BUT GAVE BOND And Thus as the Law Provides. Escaped a Term in Prison i The time seems to be past ia Indiana when the father of any child can willfully fail to that offspring. About two years ago Frank Cramer was married. A few months afterward a child was born to them and the mother gave up her young life • ’hree days later. Just before the j breath passed from her body she ask|ed her parents to care for the child land they have done Mt Last spring the father. Frank Cramer, who has j never helped to support his son, was - indicted by the grand jury. He was | . tried in court yesterday, the case go- j ‘ ing to the jury at about five o’clock last evening. A half hour later they J had agreed on a verdict, but which. I was net in regular form. They were i sent back to their room and in ten minutes brought out a verdict of guilty and fixed the punishment of Mr s Cramer at a term of from one to i seven years in the Jeffersonville reformatory. The statute under which I the young man was convicted expressj ly provides, however, that when a per- • son is so convicted he shall have the , ■opportunity before sentence is passed ■ to appear in court and give bond that he win in the future provide a suitable and proper home for the child. This ! Mr. Cramer did this morning and : seemed glad of the opportunity to be thus released, furnishing a bond for : S6OO.

W. Coppeck and Jesse Niblick Spend Two Weeks in Boston L. W. Coppock, a promoter of the Coppcck Motor car company, who accompanied by Jesse Niblick, made a business trip to Boston, Mass., recently , in the interest of this concern, has returned and we are informed that the result of the trip will mean much for the enterprising institution. Mr. Coppock. while in the eastern state, demonstrated the practicability of the | much heralded car and the people who ! witnessed the many good qualities of ' same are very favorably impressed, j The eastern people bespeak unprece-; dented success fcr the Copock people in their invention, stating that the commercial car is the most practical that has ever met their gaze. It Is not improbable that a dozen cars will be sold to parties living in Boston in i the near future. Not only are Boston people impressed, but New York btisi-1 cess men are negotiating for the purchase of several cars.

PITY FOR THE DRUNKARD The drunkard is. possibly, entitled It* some pity, for surely he is the most pitiable human spectacle. i But why doesn't he stop drinking? Os ! course, he wiii say it la because lie can't and may be some of them can't, j there being all sorts of people in the ; wcrld. But some of them quit, and are entitled to what credit a man deserves in regaining good sense, and also for moral courage. A man who used to be a hard drinker was lately telling hom be came to quit. He said ’he realized the route he was travelj ing. and went to a doctor, and told him he wanted to quit, and asked the doctor how he sbcu'.d go about ft. "Oh, just quit,” advised the doctor; •you may think it is going to but it won’t” And the man acted upca the doctor’s suggestion, which he says was the best advice he ever received. He really thought for a few days that the doctor was wrong; that it was going to kill him. but itdidn’t. i and he said that the surprising part ' <f it was how soon be commenced i feeling like a new and better mar. i after he made the struggle. DIED IN MICHIGAN —— John L. Jones, a Former Res-; ident of this County Stricken With Paralysis AND DIED SUNDAY Was Well Known Here and Had Numerous Relatives —Funeral Wednesday Mr. Harve Smith of this township received a message from Midland. Michigan late yesterday afternoon announcing the sad news that his old friend and neighbor, Mr. A>hn E. i Jones had died at his home near that ‘place on Sunday. Mr. Smith was 'greatly shocked by the news and left this morning to attend the funeral services, which will be held Wednesday morning at ten o’clock at Midland. Mr. Jones was for many years a resident of this county, living fcr twelve years on the Dailey farm, east of town and later on his own farm ( in the south part ot this township. About four years ago he left here and went to Michigan where he purchased a farm and has since resided. For a . number of years his health has not been the best, and about two or three weeks ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis. which was followed by another within a few days. The third stroke oersrring on Sunday proved fatal. He was well acd favorably known here, and has a number of relatives in the county, who will deeply regret the sad news of his death. He was sixtyeight years eld and leaves a wife and four children to mourn. While serving as a juror in the court here a few years ago.

A DEATHLY GRIP Typhoid Fever is on Every Hand—Serious Cases CONTINUED DROUGHT Is Responsible for this Most Deplorable Condition— New Cases Typhoid fever, one of the most dreaded of all human ailments, has a deadly grip upon many of Adams ctounty resients. and the physicians are working heroically to appease the progress of same. Low water, the cnnition being brought about by the continued drought, is responsible for the spreading of the epidemic, and unless we soon have falling weather, we can reasonably expect a large increase in sickness. A. M. Berning, residing near Williams. became ill from the same disease Sunday and he is in a serious condition. Miss Emma Miller, of near Peterson, is a sufferer from typhoid, and her condition is anything but encouraging. A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Driver, residing ten miles southwest if Decatur, is ill from the dread disease. ■ 1 ■ Jesse Bright, of near Monroe. i s also included in the list of typhoid patients.
