The Indiana Union Traction company is slipping into the hands of a receiver, suit having been filed in Indianapolis. It perhaps means a long litigation, with a doubtful outcome c _. of the best lines in the country, a money-maker, and the suit is caused by the alleged manipulation of stocks in the various branches and side companies which make up the main eompan l Colonel Roosevelt and Champ Clark were the winners in Illinois' first primary Tuesday. And now what. Had Tait won the Roosevelt people were ready to quit, but this action will act as an elixir, them more opportunity to say that the people want Teddy and the politicians want Taft. In means a red hot division of the party that will continue into the convention hall and perhaps to November sth. In the words of Mr. Bryan, “It's significant.” The victory of Clark was not unexpected, coming as it did from a state adjacent to his own. “I am an optimist.

We have ■ : proven our ability for self-government | ■ in this country by refusing to forget i that in their struggles to improve their condition the masses bend bei neath their load and by insisting that i in this republic the humblest and the mightiest shall stand upon an equality before the law. —Samuel M.

In the meantime, there may some , circumstance arise, which will make it very important that you have the right to vote. If vou don't protect your own rignt to the ballot, it’s a case of “cutting off your own nose to s] ite ycur face.” Don't be foolish.

He gains nothing byjMjßg ma\ lose Republican newspapers and special correspondents are making a great fuss over the statement of Governor Marshall in an address to the Washington Y. M. C. A. Sunday that he quit the law practive to avoid winking at the truth. It’s olily to think that the governor would make such a remark in earnest. One of the best* lawyers ■n northern Indiana, a man who loves b’j profession as ro' .l. as diu Blackstone, could and did not say a word against the profession other than in humor. The bar may include some scalawags, but it also includes the greatest men of the country. They are so recognized, and no one realizes that fact more than the governor. Some of these days the governor will ted I the people what he said and how he said it, and it's dollars to doughnuts that the Indianapolis Star and the Fort Wayne Lews won't play up his : reply in the first column.
