In his speech before the Chicago Commercial club Saturday night, Governor Wilson said precisely what he should have said —and he said it to the right crowd, says the Indianaiwlis News. He told the business men of Chicago, and through them told the country, thaj business conditions, were not right, that the banking system had already been “couvicted”—and so there was no need for him to “indict" it —and that it was for the business men to say whether they would make things right. "The business future of this country," the president-elect said, "does not depend upon the government of the t'nited States; it depends upon the business men of the United States." The speaker made it clear shat the reforms proposed would be brought to pass either w ith or without the help of business. There was no i threatening, but only a plain and very j frank statement of policies. It seems I to us that those in charge of the industries wouid do well to ponder these words: "There are business problems which would be easy to deal with if the people were in the temper to deal with them, but they are not, and we must get them in the • temper. That job is yours, not mine. You are conducting the business *of the country. I am noL" In bidding farewell to Thomas R. Marshall as their governor the people ♦of Indiana wouid, if they could speak in a corporate capacity, testify to their high regard tor him. That his administration has been clean and honest bis severest critic cannot and will not deny, TJiete has not been even the suspicion of graft, not even of that llt’le graft—known os “perquisites”— which is thought by many to be almost legitimate, in his public utterances iii his uflk’ial cOtumunicatiohm to the legislature. Governor Marxfcxil nas almost without exception given expression to the souumst views. He is a progressive, but within safely constitutiofial lines, and a believer in representative government.—lndianapolis News. In a halt-column editorial the Columbia City ?ost pays high tribute to Governor Marshall, telling of the high regard in which the statesmen of whom they are so proud, is held. When one's neighbors and friends apeak of him thus, it can be depended on, the man has made good. Tom Marshall* —

rise baa been rapid but he has earned it. Governor Ralston told the people of Indiana that he would do everything in his power to so conduct the affairs of his office that the citizens of the state may benefit. He will make good, for he is the kind of a man that makes jgood, honest and industrious and ca- | pable.

Muffton Monday afternoon on a car over the Ft. Wayne & Northern, accompanied by her two little sons, Wayne and Francis. The I News is informed that they intend to > visit in a neighboring city for some • time. One reason, no doubt, is the state of public sentiment here. Mrs. Lee has title to a farm of 110 acres ’ near Albion, Noble county. conversant with .the family's affairs , say that the farm is worth sllO par i acre and that there is a $7,000 mort- ' gage on it. at which valuation she 'would be worth SI,OOO or $.',000 above Indebtedness. Local officers have not I made any charges against Mrs. Loe and interposed no objections to her leaving the city." •BtISCO FAVORS BEET RAISING. Churubusco, Ind., Jar.. 14—A large and enthusiastic mee’tng or farmers was held in this city at the Fougel and’ Moudy building. They were interested in the culture of sugar beets for the factory at Decatur, and the interest manifested shows clearly that the farmers in this section will take hold of the matter at least on an experi- , n ental basis. The meeting was called to order by Lewis Kocher, who, in a few well-chosen remarks. Introduced Earl Robinson, a sugar beet expert, from the factory, who addressed the meeting at length, and explained the various features of the vegetable from the.time it is started in th" ground until it is ready for loading on the cars. The price to be paid for the beets will be $.» per ton. and the average acreage is twenty tons to the acre. If 2vo acres are secured, te factory will erpet a shipping station at this point, as they are satisfied that it will develop Ino a permanent crop in this section. as the soil is peculiarly adapted to their successful culture. Over 10ii acres were quickly pledged and Mr. Kocher was selected to take charge of the local efforts to he used in making a success of the project George McFarlan of Decatur was also present to assist in explaining the details of the business to all interested.
