When the protected employ- j era want a higher duty on imports in i order that they may dig deeper into j the pockets of American consumers, | they tell the employes ’ that their I wages are at stake. But when the] employers want to reduce wages there | is,-another story. The watch trust) has been convicted of selling its watches abroad so cheap that they Were re-imported and sold many, dol- : lars cheaper than the same watches were being sold by the trust in this country. There was talk of reducing the duty. And here comes in an article from the Philadelphia Record: “The Watch Workers’ Union in Elgin, DI., adopted a resolution protesting against any reduction in the duty on watches and parts thereof and forwarded it to Congressman Boutell. The resolution of course assumed that a reduction in duties would be followed by one in wages. But Mr. Rainey resurrected the fact that in August, 1898, one year after the Dingley tar- ' iff went into effect, these same Elgin watch workers adopted a resolution that ‘‘the price of stemfitting and finishing watches (Aider these conditions has been cut to a- point where we cannot make living wages.” ' “The Dingley tariff made special provison for the watch manufacturers. It gave them a special duty on imported movements in addition to. the ad valorem duty the company already enjoyed, and after a year of it the men declared that thdy could not make living wages. Yet the profits must be very great indeed. The prices at which .Waltham watches are now profit, and yet the watches can be reimported and sold here at from sls to $25 less than an American can buy the same watch from any dealer getting supplies from the company. ’ ’ STILL AFTER LAFOLLETTE. The Republican state committee has been sending out a two-column attack upon Senator •’Lafollette of ( Wisconsin. Senator Lafollette' is a Republican, but he voted with the Democrats upon all amendments intended to make the railroad rate bill a better measure than it is. By doing this he incurred the ill-will of such corporation senators as Yachtsmen Hemenway of this state. It is because of this that he is now assailed by the Republican state committee. But Lafollette wAs working for the '"people’s best interests, as he believe'd, and because the Democratic senators were equally faithful to their trust and thus found themselves in accord with the Wisconsin man, the Republican organization is stirred to great indignation. One of Lafollette’s propositions was that the railroads of the country shall be valued and the fact made of record, and that they are worth only $7,000,090,000 on which interest is to be paid, and not on seven additonal billions which are fictitious capitalization known as watered stock. This proposition was not satisfactory to Yachtsman Hemenway and his fellow laborers- in the railroad vineyard. But if the railroads of the country are really worth only seven billions on which 'interest ’is to be paid, but tax the country interest on fourteen billions, the people ought, to, know it and the interstate commerce commission should take the fact into account in fixing rates. The Republican orgiaSii.zati(j(n, however, disapproves all such things and is doing its best to read the sturdy Lafollette out of the party. At. least they want to read him out of Indiana. Hemenway still tastes the dose administered to Lun at Evansville.

E. Chandler'efSew always been aTstrict party man. But A' If' R* I . at the present time he-has little coni fidence in the continued ascendancy of his party unless it change its-apets.. In other words he says it must reform its methods and that “sham reform” will not do. Standpat Republicanism will put it out of power and William | J. Bryan will be the next president,” ] says Mr. Chandler. Then he says further: ’ ‘‘The. revelations of the political | contributions of 1896, 19(H) an,d 1904 I from insurance companies, banks and i railroads have aroused a demand for * changed methods which cannot be so j satisfied as to save the party without . movements radical enough to convince the people that the Republican lead- ' era are sincere and earnest reformers. In this aspect of the ’' case it is much to be regretted that the house did not' pass thq Tillman senate bill prohibiting national banks frotn making political contributions. It was a Republican blunder to wait for a Democrat to introduce a bill which in 1901 was unanimously reported by the senate committee. It was worse than a blunder to arrange to let the bill die in the house, and also to omit to pass ahy bill requiring publicity in political contributions, or otherwise denouncing corruption in elections.” Mr. Chandler thinks that the passage of the railroad rate bill was a victory for -the people and. that it proved that the people yet have some influence at Washington. Naturally a strong partisan like Chandler hopes that his party will continue in power, but he does not express such a.hope with any confidence, and he is very careful not to say that it deserves to win. No one knows better th An the New Hampshire man that . the .Republican party does not deserve to win. Its “stand pat” policy damns it. The “record” on which it will try to stand is a sham record so far as the public is concerned. Congress did as little as possible for the benefit of the people as against “the interests,” and that little was due to the hard ah<r persistent work of the Democrats, backed by public sentiment. The people know this to. he.true. Furthermore they know that there is no genuine reform spirit in any of the Republican leaders. If there was a sincere and earnest reform spirit in them they would not ‘ ‘ stand pat ’ ’ on a record which is notoriously putrid. There is one* thing which alone ought to pqt Indiana in the Democratic column at the next election. It is the attitude of the Democratic party on the drainage question. The Republican party has been in control in Indiana for more than a decade and it “points with pride” to its record. The present ditch law is a conspicious part of the record. It must a sorry kind of pride that fills a man’s mind when he see tha: . law and the effect it. has upon the great farming community of the State of Indiana. —Hoosier. From the way the big Republican • politicians are flocking into Maine it would seem that they are scared about the result of the election in that state in September. The labor unions are making a determinate fight on Congressman Littlefield and hope to defeat him. As Littlefield lives in a district which is overwhelming Republican and as it is expected that Candidates Shaw, Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon and others will make speeches for him he may pull through. •, Not a Rep'ublcan paper in Indiana 5 has condemned National Chairman > Cortelyou for receiving the insurance - money stolen from widows and orphans. And not one of them has askea 3 him to return the money or resign, t They do not seem to think that his > scandalous example will hurt the morf als of the Republican party. No doubt L they are right. Just now the Republican party has no morals to hurt

It was Surig that - anyone connected with rounds should have'time to 4Kbw rl courtesy to ahy particular organization. People were pouring In by thousands every-day. People with babies and people without babies. People with lunch boxes and people without lunches. People, with.,enormous .diamonds 'and people^—well, ma<f .people without diamonds. .Japan-, .&sg,i-Chinese, .Assyrians.’ XH«rseemed uh Fuday mooring -as if the heaven;, had Suddenly opened and rained down people of all classes, kinds and nationalities. And the number of young people one sees is simply amazing. It certainly is a’good place tO'go’ to renew one’s youth. There are a thousand students enrolled at the various summer school there this year. Such a place has vast influences for good, not only because the very best teachers have been employed in every line, but the atmosphere of the place breathes morality. High' thinking and pure living are the watchword. Too much cannot be said in praise of the beauty of the grounds. Naturally well situated, nothing that art and care can add to tnake the park*more attractive has been spared. Miles of cement walk, not just’ straight'lines of white, but running in artistic curves and lines, add beauty to utility. The flowers, fountains, small lakes, springs and hills make a plaee as enchanting as fairyland. The trade schools of Winona are to be especialty commended as filling a long felt need. Boys intending to be farmers or printers or mechanics could not spend time and money to better advantage than in the Winona Technical Schools. And the price is so reasonable, it is within the reach of everyone. The programme for the editorial meeting was .especially good. Mr. El E. Cox of Hartford City, presided in the particularly happy..manner,he,has of doing things, making everyone reel! comfortable - and at easp, Wednes T day morning the convention opened with a paper by E. A. Remy ,Seymour Republican, on “Railroad Advertising. ’’, Mr. Remy proved beyond. the shadow of a doubt, that railroad.advertising contracts are all one .sided in favor of the railroad, and the sooner the railroad pays for what it gets and the’editor pays for his rides, the better it''will be for the editor. Mr. ! Frank Singleton, Martinsville Republican, read a v.ery fine paper on “ Fraternity,” that is, the co-operation ofnwspaper men in the same town in the matter of prices, etc., that men in other lines of business observe. Then came the address by John B. Stoll, South Bend Times, “The True Newspaper Man’s Mission.” Everyone was prepared to hear something good and no one was disappointed. . Mr. Stoll’s, Wprds wpre of splendid patriotic advice, showing a comprehensive knowledge of our country. It would mean a great advance step if every editor in the state could hear and heed his words. Thursday morning, Mrs. W. B. Campbell of Anderson, opened the meeting -with an earnest appeal to those present for help in solving the vexed, problem of “Dependent Children.” She is an impressive, fluent speaker. She drew her illustrations from. life. Everyone knew that with her, out of the “fullness of the heart, the mouth speaketh.” She had a vital subject and no one could have handled it better. Mrs. Cart Reddick of Winamac, favored the editors with a vocal solo. She is a muiscian of rare ability, her voice is qpnsually sweet and sympathetic. Mrs. L. G. Ellingham of Decatur, read a paper on “The Editor’s Jewels,?’ which was graciously received. H. A. Barnhart, Rochester Sentinel spoke on ‘ ‘ Circulation Campaigns.? ’ He has had much experience and substantial results to show that his methods are good. He, also, has an interesting way of talking business. Frank Hainabaugh, . Muncie Press, “Cut Rate Advertising.” Mr. Hainjbaugh. gave facts and figures which nroved conclusively that a few srljPryled metropolitan papers in the state are claiming to cover the field which properly belongs to the country publisher. He urged those present to oiganize a bureau to get the business from foreign advertisers to which they are justly entitled. . Congressman Charles B. Landis, from, but as he failed to appear or

In'the list of speakers were John Bonham of Hartford <pity, {McKinney and Andrews, rival candidates for representative from Jay county, and Hon. W.' H. Eichbbrn of this city.

In the afternoon three fine hew cars on the new electric line between Winona, Warsaw-and Goishwiy were piif at the disposal of the party. Immediately upon arrival in Goshen, there were and carriages waiting to drive the people over the beautiful city. The handsome homes, business ’ blocks and public buildings, were but a mute testimony of the hustle, and energy we found, everywhere .apparent in the people who met uslater at a reception • iir the mangnifictent Elks’ lodge rooms. This city in a few years :has grown from eight to twelve -thousand w inhabitants through: the untiring efforts of her substantial men. We were given an exact financial statement of the city, which, by the way* now owns its own electric light and water plant. The* rain drenched us. and, the light--1 ning struck us on our way home, but nothing, could efface the .splendid impression of Goshen and her people. It would be impossible to speak of the many fine attractions at Winona individually such as the Indianapolis Newsboys’ Band, the lecture of Opie Read, etc., which the editors enjoyed. • i —, —— t SCORE - WAS SEVEN TO ONE ■ “ " , ' ‘.
