The people of Indiana may well take pride in the fact that they have a governor who, wherever he is placed, whatever demand Is made upon him, he is equal to the emergency. As a party leader, in the better, higher sense of that term, as a statesman, an orator or a writer of pure English, undefiled, a literary man, an attractive speaker, whether upon the stump, or before a learned university body, students, professors and doctors of the law or of divinity, wherever he has been called to exercise his varied gifts Governor Marshall has in no wise disappointed his friends and admirers. The conferring the honor of LL. D. upon him by two distinguished univeraltiee, in which they honored themselves as much as they did him, shows the esteem in which he is held by learned and cultured men. The high honor was worthily bestowed. —Frankfort Daily Crescent About the next thing to being a trust is to be a trust buster, from a financial standpoint. Frank B.

Pretty good fees, are they not? —The Hancock Democrat. Nine members of the wire trust have been indicted for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Wouldn't It be awful If they would have to pay a fine of a few thousand dollars, and that’s about what will happen if the courts find them guilty? Six months in Jail for men like Frank Gould, William Palmer and others would perhaps be more real punishment than a fine of ten times the amount prescribed by law. Street Commissioner James Smith has been busy this week cleaning up the alleys in the business section of town. He has done his work well and is to be commended therefor.
