THE PRESIDENT IS A PETTIFOGGER President Taft has shown on mo’e than one occasion—and evenrepeatedly during the last campaign—that it is not at all difficult for him to descend to the language and methods of the commonest kind of a common pettifogger. In a speech defending the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tariff on his present tour for which the public pays) Mr. Taft said: "If the country desires free trade and the country desires a revenue tariff and wishes the manufacturers all over the country to go out of business and to have cheaper prices at the expense of the sacrifice of our manufacturing interests, then it ought to say so and ought to put the Democratic party in power if it thinks that party can be trusted to carry out any affirmative policy in favor of a previous tariff." Mr. Taft knows as well as any other intelligent person that neither free trade (which no one is demanding) nor a tariff for revenue (which most people are demanding) will put any honest manufacturer or any other honest man "out of business.” It would be bad enough far Mr. Taft to make such a statement if he were traveling over the country as a private citizen at his own expense. But it is inexcusable for him to make it while traveling as president of the United States at public expenses. The new governor of Minnesota is Adolph O. Eberhart. When he got married he concluded to drop his own name and take that of his wife. He did this for the reason that the ' name Olson was very common. He is a republican, the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor being defeated along with the rest of the democratic state ticket, Johnson alone being elected.—Columbia CityPost.

He will leave tomorrow for Cornell university, where he teaches again this winter. He is just returning from a long trip which took him to different parts of Alaska and which also gave him a good opportunity of seeing that country as well as different part of the United States. He was with a government surveying party, leaving here some time the latter part of last May and all during : the summer was helping set boundary stakes between the Dominion of Canada and Alaska. There was about t thirty in the party, including government surveyors of note, representatives of the Canadian government, and other officials and the trip was one of value to those fortunate enough to be one of them. The party reached the point of about eighty miles north of Ketchiman, which is' six hundred miles north of Seattle. 1 They were within four hundred miles' of Fairbanks, where the Decatur col-' ony is located. He enjoyed the trip ' and had a good time, and returns to ' his school work fresh and in fine fettle. Southern Alaska only has mineral resources and these cannot be I worked until railroads (are built through there, and that will likely be some time yet He 1 reports the weather as being delightful and not as cold as some people in this coun- ! try think it is. o S A WONDERFUL RANGE r r Another step forward in Gas Ranges. The Champion Interchangeable Gas Range is two ranges in one. e You can use gas, coal or wood withe out removing a gas burner. Really ■, the most beautiful range ever conc, structed. Made of polished steel, 1 asbestos lined and is extra heavy in its five linings. Economical in the use of gas or coal. A grand range for the wife to use and a very popular range for the men. If in using “ coal for fuel you have no worry j about kindling and the gas kindler j does the work. Every lady in Deca- ( tur should visit the Indiana Lighting j Co.'s office and see this range.

I A PICTURESQUE STORY j The big story sensation of the '7o's I "The Hidden Hand.” is a fascinating ! subject for the play writers It has I so much of real American character | such a picturesque background, so i I much of the heartiest fun and com- j I edy, and most important of all, such ! j a finely melodramatic and romantic 1 1 plot that it has few equals in its | amount of material for drama. A I new play from the story will be at | ' the Bosse October 6th. The author I is an actor of note and dignified po- I sition in the profession, Eugene | Moore.
