Tucker, has this to say in a recent letter to his paper: "The nomination of young men as candidates for congress may be the rule with the Indiana Republicans next year. A desire for new blood seems to have come with the overwhelming defeat of the last campaign.'* If any party ever needed new blood it is the Republican party. It also needs a new' set of principles. With new leadership, new principles, a decent regard for the welfare of the people and a throwing overboard of the special interests and other flotsam and petsam the Republican party in time might hope to regain some degree of public confidence. The general tone of the Republican papers of this state shows that their industrious editors are not only perplexed, but discouraged. Efepecially pitiable is the condition of those who are wanting postoflices or other nice federal positions. The quarrel between President Taft and Insurgent Beveridge over the latter gentleman's refusal to support the tariff bill makes the situation exceedingly delicate for the office-seeking editors. If they should indorse Beveridge’s stand they offend the president and if they indorse the president they are swatting Beveridge in the face.

isfactorily Is what la keeping the place hunters awake of nights. ■ «_. Ji . 1 1 There are two sides to the port question One is the consumer. With . live hogs selling at SB, pork will be over 20 cents a pound and becomes a [ costly article of diet, almost beyoni I the reach of the family with modcr- ) ate Income. On the other hand, tne 1 farmers who can raise hogs profitably i at st> a hundred have a gold mine before them when the price is SB. But how many of the fanners have fore- • thought enough to be in a position to take advantage of these opportuni - ' ties’ Without pigs they cannot have hogs. Last year, when pork was cou siderably lower than It is now, Ca»s • county fanners acknowledged' that they made 25 per cent clear profit on money invested in hogs. The merchants and manufacturers of South Bend would consider it a bonanza if they could receive anything near such profits.—South Bend Times. .BJUIUIS ! _ I'FW" FINALLY REFUSED THE CHECK Dts Moines, la., Nov. 19 — A check for |l,ooo from the Des Moines Brewing company was yesterday refused by local Y.
