Especially is this true of those who have professed (if i not confessed) insurgency tendencies. By indorsing Crumpacker of the Tenth district as their candidate for speaker of the national house they have indorsed Cannon. Crumpacker, is a standpatter. He he a CannonAldrich style of standpatter. He voted for the tariff bill which Beveridge denounced as vicious, and which all of the republican insurgents in other states are fighting. Nothing so thoroughly discloses the weakness of the republican campaign in Indiana as this panicky grasping at the rotten straw of standpatism in the form of the steel trust congressmen of the Tenth district. It shows conclusively that the managers have no fixed ideas, no honest convictions, no opinions. \ \ \ \ \ Wjn* 5, f /#/ ©F / COPVRIGWT BY KO. v. MICE A CO.

views or principles which they will not sacrifice for a little help from the "interests” which were so loudly denounced in their state convention. By their present course they have forfeited all right to even respectful consideration. The rebuff given Mr. Roosevelt Tuesday by the New York republican state committee which stated decisively that it would have none of the colonel as temporary chairman of the state convention in September precipitated a political conflict that is likely to be far-reaching in its effects. The first phase of the development has already arrived in the form of a statement by Mr. Roosevelt in which the former president does nothing short of lining up with the -progressives'' in opposition to the ‘ old guard” of New York politics. Discussing the result of the committee action, Mr. Roosevelt said: "To the various persons who asked me whether I would accept the position of temporary chaiiman of the state convention 1 said that I would do so only if they were sure, after knowing my attitude, that they desired me, because my speech would be of such a character that it might help if the convention nominated the right kind of a man, on a clear cut, progressive platform; but that it would hurt if neither the right kind of a man were nominated nor the right kind of a platform adopted.” NewYork republicans may as well clear the decks for action. There is going to be a beautiful fight before the incident is closed.”—Fort Wayne Sentinel. OPENS REAL ESTATE OFFICE. A. B. Bailey is Now Engaged in the Business —Ready to List. A. B.

At the age of thirteen years he came with his parents to Adams county, Indiana. and settled on a farm in St. Mary's township and had lived on this farm for fifty-eight years. On November 19, 1875, he was united in marriage to Miss Polly Swyguart. Our brother was one who was ever willing to assist in advancing the cause of righteousness in the community in which he lived, always seeing to it that his family was permitted, if possible, to be in the house of God. often speaking of the future life, and no doubt where he spoke once he thought a thousand times. He was one who, in the days when in a financial strait, it seemed that the church must be lost to the community, he with the pastor in charge put their shoulders to the wheel and brought the church of the living God through the threatening storm, placing it on the road to a glorious future. He leaves to mourn their loss one brother and two sisters, James Gaunt, of Paulding, Ohio; Mrs. Baxter of Denver, Colo., and Mrs. Cooperider of Millers’ Port, Ohio; a heart-broken son and four grandchildren, with a host of other relatives and friends. The home has lost a kind and indulgent father and husband, and the community has lost an honored and respected citizen. He departed this life August 13, 1910, aged seventy years, five months and seven days. The funeral services were held from the Calvary Evangelical church, Rev. E. R. Roop officiating.

WASTING ~ MONEY Congressman Cullop Calls Attention to Instances of Recklessness BY OUR LAWMAKERS As Gleaned From Annual Report of Secretary of U. S. Senate. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 18—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Extravagance in public office is, in the opinion of Congressman W. A. Cullop of Vincennes. a sin which should not be forgiven. He regards public money as a public trust and can find no excuse tor needless and reckless expenditures, such as are shown in the annual report of the secretary of the United States senate, which includes a full and complete statement of the receipts and expenditures of the senate. The last volume of this work covers a period from July 1, 1908, to June 30, 1909, and is stranger than fiction. Another volume is now overdue, but it is suggested that it will not see the light of day until after the election in November. "It will be found in the report of the secretary of the senate for the year ending, June 30, 1909, that SIOO was paid for the use of the horses and carriage which conveyed President Taft to the inaugural ceremonies at the capitol, and subsequently to the white house,” said Congressman Cullop. “This is quite a contrast to the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson, who rode on horse-back to the capitol and hitched his horse to the swinging limbs of a tree, while he went to the capitol and took the oath of office. He then mounted his horse and rode to the white house. "The same report shows that it cost $2,629 to erect a stand upon which the United States senators could stand to view the inauguration ceremonies of President Taft. There are ninetytwo senators. This means that it cost the people of the United States $31.1 J to provide a place for each senator to stand during that event. As this was such an expensive matter it is to be regretted that the weather was so inclement that this stand could not be used for the purpose for which it was erected. This money was absolutely wasted. "Another example of the manner in which the republican congress wasted the money of the people is shown in an appropriation of SB,OOO for the care ; and maintenance of the horses and ve- • hides belonging to the office of the secretary of state. These consist of ■ four horses and two vehicles —one a • carriage and the other a wagon—and ■ the harness for same. The whole outi fit is worth not. to exceed SI,OOO, and ; yet a republican congress appropriat- - ed over the protest of the democrats i SB,OOO to maintain these four horses > and two vehicles for one year. What t would an Indiana farmer think and , how long would he survive financially 1 if it cost him SB,OOO a year to maint tain four bourses and two rigs? When > the democrats attempted to reduce - this appropriation the republicans said » they were cheese-paring. s “In the house of representatives • there are two clocks. There are two s in the senate. These clocks are 1 wound once each week. For winding , the two clocks in the house they pay , a man $35 a month. For winding the , two clocks in the senate a man is f paid S4O a month. All four clocks are ■ just alike and it requires no more i work to wind those of the senate than I those of the house, but the five extra t is paid because of the dignity of the . senate. Count five weeks to the . month and it is easily figured that the I cost of winding the senate clocks is i $8 a week. That is $4 for each clock. • It takes two or three minutes for the - man to wind each clock —and he is paid $4 for each clock. Is this extravagance? "Another appropriation catried : SIOO,OOO for executive and cabinet repI resentation at a public function to be I held in Washington this year. When i the democrats attempted to secure a i reduction of this amount for this unI necessary purpose, the republicans ■ charged that they were attempting to embarass the administration and government officials. "Referring again to the report of the secretary of the senate for the year s ending June 30, 1909, I find an item i- concerning the payment of a bill of r $25 on the night of March 3rd to a '- taxicab company for five hours at $5 ■, an hour for taking senators from the j night session of that day. It seems to , me that it would not have been inappropriate for these senators to have

had a little more regard for the people who must pay the bills. Why , didn't these senators pay these bills? This is only one of many items of such charges contained in the secretary s report. But, referring to the first item, it does sepm that the senators must have lived a great distance from the capitol in order to take five hours at $5 an hour to convey them home from the session.” The secretary’s report shows that ( it cost the people $1,890,999.89 to 1 maintain the senate from July 1, 1908. to June 30, 1909. Much of this money, Congressman Cullop insists, was reck- I lessly spent, and needlesly. After Congressman Cullop began to pay some attention to the secretary's report, and to interpret some of the items contained herein, copies of the book mysteriously disappeared, and they are now as rare as the snow in August. He regards it as significant that the new volume, which is nowoverdue, is being withheld. —o — THE BOYS WERE ACQUITTED. State Did not Prove That Chas. Rape and Dan Burley Disturbed Meeting. The trial of the case of the State vs. Charles Rape and Daniel Burley was conducted in Squire John Ault s court in Jefferson township Wednesday. D. B. Erwin represented the defense and Chauncey Lautzenheiser of Berne, the state. Messrs Burley and Rape were accused of disturbing the religious meetings at the North Point churc'i in Jefferson township. A great deal of excitement had been caused in that part of the county over the affair and the trial was looked forward to with great interest. It was a serious offense and we are glad to say that they were acquitted of the charge. Tne case was a hard fought one. — o CENSUS BUREAU REPORT TODAY. (United Press Service.) Washington. D.

(United Press Service.) Hoboken, N. J., Aug. 18—(Special to Daily Democrat)—"Mayor Gaynor is doing remarkably well.” said Secretary Adamson this afternoon. “It is shown that the mayor had partial paralysis of the right side of the throat, caused by the swollen glands, which has now almost entirely risappeared.” o AN ERROR CORRECTED.
