IT'S A GLOOMY OUTLOOK The Cincinnati Enquirer, which long ago ceased to be a democratic or even a near-Democratlc paper, has taken the pains to get the political views of 1,500 Indiana voters, or as the paper puts it. “1.500 of the leadin 6 men of both parties in the state of Indiana, chosen not on account of their political affiliations, but because of their intimacy with business and social conditions in their respective communi ties." It is apparent from a reading A the replies set out that a large majority of the 1,500 are republicans, and yet only 306 say that Taft's adminis tration is giving satisfaction, while 920 say that it is not, and the rest are doubtful. On the other hand 1,110 say that Governor Marshall's administration is a popular success, while only 174 say no, and the rest are in doubt. With respect to the Inquiry: "Will Beveridge be re-elected?" the Enquirer gives the following synopsis of the vote: "The verdict of the replies is that he will not, or, at least, that his position is dangerously precarious. Os those who expressed themselves 648, or 45 per cent of the whole, said that he would be returned. Those who took the opposite view were 504, or 36 per cent. Those who said that the re-election was doubtful were 256, or 18 per cent of the w’hole. In other words Beveridge is left in the minority. It is made clear by those in the negative and those expressing doubt that Beveridge’s danger arises from the fact that he is regarded as being in opposition to tre republican national administration and out of harmony with the doctrine of a high protective tariff. Egotism is charged against him in set and severe terms. Others attribute the doubt to the attitude of the republican state organization. Ever recurring as elements of probable disaster are the names of former

Senator Hemenway, Congressman James Watson and former Vice President Charles W* Fairbanks. As in the matter of high living, it is a striking lact that a great many republicans who voted favorably as to the Taft administration asserted that Beveridge would be defeated or that his re-elec-tion was an unsettled question.” As to the operation of the Payne Aldrich tariff the same paper says: "Os the more than 1,500 replies received. 1,108 unreservedly asserted that it was not satisfactory to the people. This is about 80 per cent of the w’hole number. Those in the affirmative were 192 and it was by extreme liberality upon the part of the compiler that even this sum was reached. Fully 30 per cent of the number of writers qualified their affirmation by saying that there was no general complaint and that the situation was being bettered through clearer knowledge. Others insisted that it was merely a noisy minority that was against the measure. Os those who were in complete doubt, or had no expression to make, there were 120. There should be no gainsaying the fact that the majority recorded was emphatic and vigorous. » » • That it will seriously impede republican victory in the state is a concession that is freely made.” GASOLINE CAUSED BAD FIRE. New York, June 7 —Cries of fire following the shock of an explosion and the shrieks of a man whose hair and clothing were afire, awakened sixty families, numbering nearly two hundred men, women and children, in a row of double tenement houses in Bergen street, Brooklyn, and caused them to flee down fire escapes and the hallways in their night clothes to the street. Two children were severely injured in the scramble. The man on fire. Samuel Cohen, thirty years old, was removed in a serious condition to St. Mary’s hospital. All his hair had been burned off and his sight may be affected. — o — Get a beautiful souvenid spoon free at Lehne's jewelry store w’ith a dollar's purchase or more Saturday.

Os course, we re proud of our big church, from pulpit up to spire; It is the darling of our eyes, the crown of our desire. But when I see the sisters work to raise the cash that lacks.
