THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF OUR GOVERNMENT If a democratic senator had made the assertion that the administration was costing the people $300,000,000 too much every year, repubcan papers all over the country would have called him a liar and a demagogue to boot: but coming from Senator Aldrich, the most powerful and influential republican In the senate, the statement has failed to elicit a word from 99 per cent of the republican papers of the nation. They have not attempted to deny it and they have not had the courage to urge the senator and his colleagues to endeavor to bring about the saving. Not only does Senator Aldrich hold that the country is being held up to the extent mentioned, but he assents that the duplication of work in the different departments is costing the country >100,000,000 a year. These are statements of a man who is practically at the head of the administration —a man who has more to do with the shaping of the policies of President Taft than any otbei ’ zen men at Wash ington. It is not of record that Aldrich ever opposed any of the appropriations for any of the departments or that he ever endeavored to head off the extravagances of which he now complains; for that reason his statements about the extravagance in

vogue are the more remarkable, and * it Is not strange that they startled t his associates and dumbfounded his republican colleagues. The charge of extravagance Is the strongest that has ever been made and men in all ’ walks of life in all parts of the coun- ® try are marveling at it. With such j a condition it is indeed time for the , voters to make a change. The re- “ publican party has Increased the office holding class in every depart- ’ ment of the service to such an extent in excess of the actual needs that the burden upon the people Is entirely too great. Any thoughtful man can see that this Is the case by studying conditions in his own immediate county or district, and It is time for 1 something to be done to eliminate the evils which exist and put the departments back on a conservative business basis.—Columbia City Post. Taking his text from gossip that is disrupting a philanthropic organization in that city, Rev. Percival H. Barker of Chicago, on Sunday, delivered a scatching aralgnment of the evils that now flow from an unbridled tongue. He suggested the organization of a tongue guard society, with the motto, “I will speak no evil.” Such a society would not come amiss in any city.—South Bend Times. NOTICE.

Entertain Fair Sized Crowd—Entertainment is Worth Attention. The attraction at the Bosse opera house Monday night was the Gilpin ■ Hypnotic Comedy company and in spite of the disagreeable weather a fair sized and very enthusiastic audience was present and applauded Mr. and Mrs. Gilpin on each and every’ one of their tests. Professor Gilpin is a talker of ability on the subject of hypnotism and nts talk was appreciated by every one present. Many new’ and interesting tests were introduced and put on in a truly masterful manner, showing to those present that Mr. and Mrs. Gilpin are the greatest exponents of the art ever seen in this oity. The class of ten subjects that responded to Mr. Gilpin’s invitation were put through a number of amusing stunts that made the fair walls of the theater ring to the echo with hearty laughter and applause, making their subject do many and new imaginary stunts. The Gilpins are clever operators and could have handled a much larger class to better satisfaction. But they were unable to get any more volunteers. There are several young men living in the city that have stated that they are going to investigate tonight, so a good time is surely in store for those who attend.

On Saturday last they held a t big public auction of buggies, harness, . machinery, Incubators, etc. They anI nounced that the sale would be strictly i on the square, with no by-bidding, and no scheme, other than that those who wanted the articles should have the opportunity of buying for the high dollar an dthey certainly did so. A large • crowd was present and the goods sold as announced. The list included twen-ty-five high class buggies, a large amount of harness, and other goods and nearly every article sold at from twenty-five to forty per cent lower than the regular retail price. The company stood for it and those who purchased are the winners.

That means much and the hardware company are not "kicking.” A CARD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Chronister desire in this manner to thank most sincerelv the many friends and neighbors, the Rev. D.
