Judge James F. Gallaher of Lafayette was a Decatur visitor yesterday. He is a candidate for judge of the supreme court and is out talking the matter over with democrats of tho state. The other candidates are Judge Lairy of Logansport and Judge Drummond of South Bend, and It promises to be a very interesting contest, as all three are strong and able jurists, well fitted for the high position they are seeking. The Indianapolis News says: “Nothing could be more admirable than thel tone and temper of the president's ad-1 dress to congress Tuesday on the 1 trust question. He seemed to speak < almost as the agent of business —but I of an honorable and legal business such as we all desire to see prosper in this country.

judgment of America, to what we know to be the business conscience and honor of the land. The government ana nusmess men are ready to meet each other in a common effort to square business methods with both public opinion and the law. The best informed men of the business world condemn the methods and processes and consequences of monopoly as we condemn them: and the instinctive judgment of the vast majority of but iness men everywhere goes with them. We shall now be their spokesmen. That is the strength of our position, and the sure prophecy of what will ensue when our reasonable work is done.’ ”
