THE EDITORS HELD FORTH AT FRENCH LICK The meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at French Lick was one or the most delightful ever held, being devoted chiefly to the many social engagements arranged for the erltorial members and the many other Indianians who were there during the three days' meeting. But one business session was held, and that was short and sweet. President Metsker of the Plymouth Democrat, made an ideal president of the association, and his address at the banquet was one of the best ever heard by the association. The Democrat has so often told its readers of the beauties of the French Lick valley as well as of the benefits and curing qualities or the waters there, that anything we might say now would be but a repetition. If anything it is more beautiful than ever and during all the seasons of the year the French Lick Springs hotel is crowded to the squeezing point with people from all quarters of the globe, some going there for the benefits to be derived from the treatment received, and others simply for enjoyment and rest. This company Is now the sole property of the Hon. Thomas Taggart, which embraces over eight hundred acres of land which with the improvements is an asset valued at two million dollars.

Upon no part of this vast estate is there a sign of the notorious gambling so often headlined In the metropolitan press. There is not one thing upon all this property that cou’d offend the fine sense of propriety of any man, woman or child in the universe. Nor is Mr. Taggart directly or Indirectly connected with anything of this sort and as far as we know he never has been. The banquet held In the main dining room was most delightful. The toasts were splendid, the principal speech of the evening being made by the Hon. John W. Kern, candidate for United States senator. It was his first public address of any sort since his endorsement by the democratic state convention. He gave ample evidence that he was the same old party wheel-horse as of old, and that he will be active and a great source of s>rengtli to the democrats in this campaign. He was given a great reception by the democratic editors of the state, with whom he has long been a favorite. Politics and politicians were as thick as fleas upon a dog's back. Aside from the members of the editorial association there were present most of the candidates upon the state ticket, many of the members of the state committee and other democrats from all sections of the state. Conditions were discussed, everyone bringing a glowing account of the brigfit prospects for democratic success. There never was a time when the Indiana democracy were as enthusiastic, nor a time when they were so completely harmonious and of one mind. All this means much, it means success providing those that see visions of a victory now, will bend their enegries for a victory in November. All the newspaper boys in Indiana take their hat off to Hon. Thomas Taggart and his gracious wife for one of the best times of their life. The three days’ meeting of the association in 1910 will long be remembered

by them and their families as one of the bright spots in their lives. DENOUNCED THE TARIFF BOARD Senator Shively has denounced the appropriation of 'gzuo.ouv to pay the expenses of President Taft’s tariff board—the board which Senator Beveridge approves and which Senator Aldrich says will be able, by the use of that 1250,000, to justify the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Mr. Shively said; "From the democratic standpoint it is irrevelent, immaterial and inconsequential to the proper exercise of the federal taxing power. "Tariffs, like other taxes, transfer property, they do not produce it. The difference between the cost of the article to the buyer in the market and what it would cost him to produce or fabricate it himself is the considers tion that makes trade. It is what makes commerce a time-saving, laborsaving, capital-saving institution. “The theory on which congress is asked to vote this appropriation is that the wider the difference of cost in a given case, the heavier must be the draft on the profits and earnings of the nonprotected, nonprotectable, self-helping, self-sustaining industries, occupations and professions of the country to make profitable the otherwise unprofitable venture against which such differences should appear. Moreover, it is advanced only on the motion of the weakness, feebleness and helplessness of the American peoI pie, and their inability to successfully i compete with the outside world. I only add that this is a total misinterpretation of the economic history of the country from the early colonial days to the present hour.”
