Mr Mulhall is on the witness stand again- He told Monday of efforts to interview a number of prominent democrats on the tariff question, but states also that he had very poor success. The scare that prominent democrats were to be drawn into the mixup seems to be another fizzle. New York bankers in a last effort t< stop the passage of a currency bill are lowering th e market price of United States bonds. It wou't work as is evidenced from the statement made by Mr. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, who sees the game, and has the nerve to stop it. The Mexican situation looks a little grave and the consultation between President Wilson and Ambassador Wilson has not shown results It is said there is a difference of opinion between them, but the people have faith in the president and know he will work it out in the way best for every one concerned.

Doubtless a rather imposing array of other aspiring gentlemen are wholly unable to comprehend how exMayor Nolan of Evansville can look j a $3,000-a-year state job as electrical appraiser and expert for the public service commission squarely in the eye and then decline it.—Ft. Wayno Sentinel. Adams comity farms are still selling for two hundred an acre and they are worth the money. A real estate man this morning made tip statement that a few years more would give to land in this section of Indiana a three-hundred dollar i>er acre value and he bases that belief upon the fact that the corn growing district of the country is very small and that corn land will soon be at valuable as is the fruit country of the west. The merchant who does not advertice during the month of August is simply throwing away one month of the year. That month is for the live merchant, the one when he makes money, for he sees the opportunity and by pushing a little extra, maker money at a time when his slower competitor loafs. It doesn’t take any business ability to do business in season, but it does to make every month a good one. The best way to do it :e to use the columns of the daily paper. The Democrat reaches fifteen thousand people each day. It's your opportunity and you ought to take advantage of it. Push. Senator Works complains became President Wilson lias used his influence to get a tariff bill conformin ’, with bis interpretation of the demoI < ratio platform. Such influence, exercised by a bad man, he says, might icsult in vicious legislation. But the ■ most powerful source of the presiI dent's influence is the fact that public sentiment has been behind him if he were not speaking for the mass

ot tile people congress would not bell impelled to yield. Colonel Roosevelt | has said that he felt he had influence with congress only to the extent that he had the nation back of him. If he lost his popular backing—no matter lor what cause—then his influence evaporated.—Kansas City Times. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■Mi GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES.

STATE POLITICS Democrats Have Been Busy for a Week Over Visit of Mr. Thistlethwaite TO THE CAPITAL Had Few Small Jobs to Offer But Nothing Big Enough to Attract. (United Press Service) ~*lndianapolls, Ind., July 28 —(Special I to Daily Democrat) —State politics, which recently has shown a decided ■ Washington color, went over cornpietely to capitol gossip as the result oi .Mark Thistlethwaite's visit. The secretary to Vice President Marshal), 1 also secretary to Governor Marshall for four years, must not be held re-; sponsible for the gossip that followed Ins visit The delightful part about political gossip is that nobody, apparently, is responsible for it. It's no secret, of course, that "Our Tom ' is a presidential possibility. Therefore it behooves his friends to examine very closely the possibili-1 lies of every other presidential poesihility. And after close examination \ Marshalls friends have decided that Governor Sulzer of New York is tautiously laying his trap for the presidency, via a democratic nomination The vice president's friends do not hesitate to believe that Sulzer's fight aga'nst Tammany Hall and “Boss" ( harles ,Murphy is being made almost entirely to boost Sulzer s presidential aspirations. Even the Wilson administration is said to be watching Sulzer very elepeb and Marshallites are glad to note that federal patronage in New York ’ state is being dispensed with neither through Seized nor Murphy, but Senator O'Gorman. Few breasts among the loyal demo crats thumped hopefully at Thistlethwaites visit because it was known he didn't have many jobs about his P» i son. A job as capitol policeman at 11,mm a year was said to be at h!s disposal, but one man to whom it was offered, a street car conductor, who is j also a democrat, turned it down. FOR RENT— Modern flat.
