Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail. Fifty-nine thousand dollars was the amount paid Frank 11. Kellog, the republican "trust-buster,” by the government, between 1907 and 1911. It is believed that Kellog received as much, if not more, from the trusts. It was ' developed before the Stanley commit- ! tee that in one instance he received fees from the steel trust while being ( paid by the government to prosecute its friend and ally, the oil trust. J. B. Mcßeynolds, another “trust buster,” received $64,000 from the public treas-' ury for his services in the tobacco and coal-carrying railroad cases. In all the republicans spent more than I $3,000,000 in ten years for “trust busting,” and the trusts are still doing an I increased business at the same old stand. —Rockville Tribune. Governor Marshall recently summed up the state’s financial condition , as follows: j “We are in straitened circumstances I must admit. But it is a condition brought about by our attempt to adjust the outgo to the income. We will succeed, and rescue the state from , the flagrant extravagance Into which years of uninterrupted republican rule threw it.” Another item showing the method I of democratic economy as now practic-; ed is shown in the lighting. When the democrats assumed charge at the j state house, the state was paying ten cents a unit for light and power. The democrats reduced It to 3% cents a unit. Another is shown m the printing bills. With the printing appropriations the same as under the republi-' can administrations, the democrats, on September 30th, turned back more than $30,000 or nearly 30 per cent of the appropriation.—E. G. Davidson,' special writer for the Indianapolis News. A reign of murder seems to be in this country and it is general. Even in this usually quiet state, there are I at present in progress several trials, I while scarcely a day passes, but. that some deep, dark mystery has been unearthed. Besides there is a tar and feather case in Kansas, the Indiana white capping Investigations and' countless other recitals of crime that should be sufficient for the people who

enjoy reading such things. The hangman's noose and the electric chair do not seem to have the effect they should, and though we continue to ’ shout the “wages of sin is death," crime will probably continue to the end of time. In the case of Beattie, it is argued that he was the spoiled and petted son of a rich father, but i that does not mean that every spoiled 1 child will be a murderer any more than it does that a child raised >n poverty or in the middle class could not do murder. If it is not in the heart it will not come out, drunk or sober, rich or poor, kicked or petted. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR COMMISSIONER, THIRD DISTRICT.
