WHY DISCRIMINATE? The New York Tribune printed a i dispatch from its Washington corres- i pendent explaining, in detail, the ' White House threat that if congress censures Mr. Roosevelt for the charges in his message "he will be compelled to show relationship between certain members and certain large interests which made necessary some investigation by the secret service.” If this is how the secret service was used, why were its extra-legal activities restricted to members of congress? Why did not secret service men shadow Theodore Roosevelt and Edward H. Harriman while they arranged the details of the $260,000 campaign contribution which Mr. Harriman boasted ‘ turned 50,000 votes in New York?” Why did not secret service men follow George B. Cortelyou while he was collecting a Roosevelt campaign fund from trusts and corporations which it had been his duty as secretary of commerce to investigate? Why was no secret service man on the heels of Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign-fund assessor when SIOO,OOO was collected from the Standard Oil company and $150,000 from I the great life insurance companies? I Pcssibly it was an oversight on Mr. I F.oseveit’s part that no secret service men were assigned to spy upon his own peculiar “relationships” with I “certain large interests.”—The Hoosier.

Following are notes from the high school incident to the re opening of the schools. Professor C. E. Hocker delivered a very interesting discourse on “New Year Resolutions’’ this morning in chapel. He designated one resolution which would particularly aid each individual and it was to conform to the golden rule in the daily routine. He admonished his hearers to keep this resolution. The scholars have returned to school and are cramming for the mid-year examination which has begun in earnest. There will be several new scholars next semester.

BIG DUROC SALE D. E. Studabaker Will Give Another on January Sixteenth AT RICE’S BARN Will Offer Thirty-Five Head and Sale Should Be a Good One D. E. Studabaker is busy at this time preparing for a big mid-winter sale of his Duroc bred sows, which will be held at the Rice barn on First street, on Saturday. January 16th. At this sale he will offer eighteen yearlings and two-year-old sows and seventeen gills, bred to the finest boars in the world, including Mr. Studabaker’s three herd boars and also various others of national reputation. Seven are/bred to boars that took state championship and the rest to boars which took first in class. The sale is to be a bona-fide one with no by-bidders and a large number of feteign buyers will probably be here to get their share of the prize offerings. At this season of the year, however, it is not probable that the bidding will be very spirited and this will give local buyers a chance to get in on these fancy bred sows. It is certainly a great opportunity and one that no progressive farmer can pass up.
