JAMES A HENDRICKS —« REGULATE THE CORPORATIONS t la order to give respectability to its utterances the Daily News quotes Judge R S- Taylor and seeks to resect upet. Senator Stephen B. ■ ing for a bill presented by him when he was a member of the state senate That Judge Taylor should lend himself to suck unfair methods is either proof that he is ignorant of the facts or Las reached that mental stage that should disqualify kirn for public service—a poeiticn he bolds on the Mississippi commission through dem - cratic friendship. The facts are these: The bill published by the News and interpreted by Judge Taylor, to suit its partisan ■ nurpeses. is the New Jersey corpora- , tion law. The News and Judge Taylor purposely omit the remarks of Setat-rr ’ Feming i> presenting the bill to the senate f,r he did not indorse it; in fset he presented it as a rebuke to the republican senate, or rather the republican legislature, tor having neglected to control corporations. Senator Fleming said m his ad- • dress that the bill was an exact copy s of the New Jersey incorporation law, the fees from which sustained the whole government of that state. Senator Fleming said there were many objectionable provisions in the law —mtny provisions be did not approve of. but he said that so long a< Indiana permitted corporations, organised in New Jersey, to come into the stale and do business, according to New Jersey laws, our government ought to have the fees —the game as well as the name. Senator Fleming openly criticized the legislature because it had not passed a law regulating the corp: rations doing business in the state—be- - cause it had not a law c-a its statute books regulating and controlling ecr-

porations organ.tsd ia other states, and turning into the treasury the tees from that source. That was why he introduced the New Jersey law and said that so long as New Jersey created corporations could come into Indiana and do business, the state ought to get the benefit of the fees—the game as well as the name. The Indiana senate rejected the New Jersey law, but Senator Feming’s agitation led to the enactment cf a law regulating the corporations, and it will be recalled that fees from that source materially enriched the state. Senator Fleming’s position was that . the state cf Indiana should regulate and control all corporations doing bus- ! ;ness in the state—that the state should require them to obtain charters fr:m ’ ’t and exercise jurisdiction over them, and that is why he gave the legislature the alternative of doing that or obtaining fees from the corporations 1 that were being created in New Jersey to do business in Indiana under • the very law Judge Taylor and the News resurrect —a law that was pre- ■ seated then as a rebuke to the republican legislature—» legislature that was giving corporations free rein. The he rest people of Indiana will certainly indorse the views of Sena- • to r Fem: ng and approve his course in the senate—Fort Wayne Journxl-Ga-zette.

;. mg about a democratic panic atd! B promising prosperity."—Wm J. Bry i an* Speech. I — —— ’ As we understand Mr. Roosevelt s - defense of the Harriman campaign | 5 contribution—1. It was entirely proper for Mr. ' Roosevelt to solicit this money, because he intended to bunco Harriman , and did bunco him. 2. Secrecy was necessary because I r Mr. Roosevelt’s motives might have I been misconstrued by low-minded per- , sens who would see in the transaction a sordid attempt on the part of . Harriman to control the presidency through the use of tainted money. S. Publicity cf such a contribution i before election might have thwarted the high moral purpose of Mr. Roose- • velt in separating Harrimsn from his money without giving him anything in j return. 4. Other presidential candidates sbculd never’ be permitted to engage in similar negotiations, because even were they sufficiently patriotic to repudiate the moral obligation they would not be sufficiently practical to deceive a man like Harriman. 5. The fact that it was Theodore Roosevelt who did this is a complete answer to all hostile criticism. Haring defended the contribution. | perhaps Mr. Roosevelt will new ex-, plain just how the money was nsed. as i Harriman said, to turn 5000 votes in the election. To Vote for Bryan (Continued from page 1.) bitterness between the two factions. I With the opening of the present campaign the men who supported Mayor Dunne turned against Mr. Bryan. The ; conservatives, as they called themselves. have now swung into line for Bryan and Stevewgon which, according * to their representations, gives the ‘ democrats the almost solid support cf the car men. The democratic leaders were jubilant last night when they learned of the action of the "conservnuve" wing of the car men’s organ- ■ iratioa. POLITICAL CALENDAR.. Oct S—Preble. Friday evening. 7:3®.

CHURCH AFFAIRS (Continued from page 1 > Slant night were very interesting and ’ helpful. The whole alm of the evan- ■ gelist seems to oe to bring the people ito a knowledge of God’s word and »s ■ acknowledgment cf Christ’s claims uplou them His theme last night was i The Name That is Above Evsry Ntme" Among other things be said 1 was that Christ exalted his own name by the life he lived —a sinless and a helpful life. His Father exalted Christ’s name when at his baptism he said audibly "This is My Beloved Son.” And again on the Mount of Transfiguration the same words spoken "This is my beloved son; hear ye him.” Not Moses, who was a leader cf the Jews nor the Prophet Elijah whose prophetical utterances were to be fulfilled in Christ, but His Son who was henceforth to be the leader of al! peoples. Mrs. Crabbs sang a beautiful solo: "The Name cf Jesus " The theme f r tonight is: "He that Winneth Souls ;is Wise ” and the solo by Mrs. Crabb is entitled: "Save One.” You are all very cordially invited to forget polities until election day and give some thought to the pigher and better things of life. By recent occurrences w® are brought sadly to acknowledge 'the fact that “tn the midst of life we are in death " and that truly we know not what a day may bring forth. BAKER FILES HIS PETITION. — To Run for Congress en Independence Ticket. • The petition that has been circulated in various parts of Jay county during the past two or three weeks, the signers of which request that the name cf Nathan H.
