This'means merely t that we ought so, mind our own bus- t iness in the godd’Gld fashioned way. — ■ , ' i When a newspaper becomes clamor- 1 oils for doubling the-president’s salary ' —already once doubled—it may be .tak- : en for granted that that newspaper never had very much of a regard for ; the first president, George Washing ton, who expressly stipulated in his acceptance of the presidency that he was not to receive any compensate n < h ever for his services.

e as commander in chief of the Revolutionary army without' compensation, Washington did not care to be compensated for serving the young republic as its president. The honor o f the position and the esteem, love and confidence of his fellow-citizens was all the reward he cared for in serving his country. That was a revelation of genuine patriotism. —South Bend Times. THE INHERITANCE TAX. Andrew Carnegie have despaired of giving away all of his millions before he dies. He once said that it would be a disgrace to die rich but his wealth has multiplied so fast that it has outrun his cautious gifts. But he sees hope in the inheritance tax proposition, which operates only after death, but he strenuously objets to an income tax, which compels a man to pay for government protection while he lives. Speaking at New York before the National Civic Federation, Mr. Carnegie put his fellow millionaires in a shiver by saying: “Our country fails in its duty if it does not exact a snare, a tremendous share, of the estate of the enormously wealthy man on his death. The money belongs to the community. But dp not mistake me. I do not advocate the making of a man a pauper or the pauperizing of his children. But it is not the millionaire who made the wealth. He did not make the ore, or the coal, or the gold that he dug out of the ground. The Montana copper mine owner did not make his wealth. It belongs, in the abstract, to the people who use it, and who produce the use which makes it valuable.” If some Democrat had said a few years ago what Carnegie says now, and what Roosevelt approves, he would have been pilloried as a downright enemy of the country and its glorious institutions. < The Foster case revealed the queer fact that Winchester street has several moral reformers who possess cold feet. There is not a doubt in the minds of : everyone but that the Foster house was everything and more than it was ; painted by any witness for :the State. But when the case was-called and the people on that street were forced to face the music in the police court; they I nearly all fluked.' Mrs. D. W. Myers ' was the only one that believedin mo- < rality and decency and was not afraid < to so proclaim herself. sentiment up there heed a little backbone. Prosecutor Moran vigorously prosecuted the case, but a prosecutor can not ( clean up such immoral places unless , the Christian and moral people stand < square to his back. The place has < long been a disgrace to that neighbor- i hood and should be officially fumigated. I I Several Indianapolis bankers have , sounded a note of warning against , the fever of speculation which seems , to have taken possession of large numbers of persons in various walks cf life. 'lt is asserted that especial danger of loss lies in putting money ; in get-rich-quick schemes of different kinds so many of which are paraded before the public. Referring to the matter the Indianapolis NeWs says, among other things: “we need to ’ halt. There is nothing for the man ■ small means that beat! the slov. banks where cent is piled on ■•ent and a safe interest is returned. It ’ > the old fable illustrated afresh of he tortoise beating the hare in the .ace, “Slow, but sure,’ is a fine motto _d the only motto for the man of small means. He may not get rich so quick, but he will stay rich when ae gets there.” _ uThe great problem confronting the country is the regulation of corporaions. This means simply that'these large aggregations of capital managed by directors and other officers shall be compelled to conform to the laws of common honesty and fairness. In the case of individuals there has always been a public sentiment that supplements the laws and keeps them within bonds. The farmers who sold diseased meat or rotten vegetables, or the tradesman who was tricky and unfair found sufficient restraint in. the opinion of his neighbors or in the loss of patronage. The impersonal character of- a, corporation renders these restraints impossible. Nothing but the stern hand of definite enactments can keep it within the bounds of decency. The American people have at length realized this fact and are putting forth their hand.—South Bend Times. The street committee of the city council, the board of health and every one else interested in cleanliness and good health should hold a post-mortem 1 over that part of Madison street lying between the corner of C. D. Murray’s

case and the St. Marys river. There is enough genuine filth and breeder of death in that surface of street to | cause J. N. Hurty to fumigate himself 1 for the next one hundred years. And yet we hear some sweet voice saying that cleanliness is next to godliness. That sweet voice should steer clear of East Madison. In speaking of Judge Erwin’s probable candidacy for governor the Portland Sun says: There is no better Democrat, no more capable leader in Indiana Judge Erwin. He made a splendid fight last fall as a candidate for judge of the supreme court and spoke in every nook and corner of the State, adding much to the strength of the ticket. His host of friends in Jay county would be pleased to help him into the governor’s chair. If the legislature .this winter takes up the question of filling the vacant niche in Statuary hall, Washington, the Democratic members should insist upon carrying out the original understanding, which was that the honor should be conferred upon Thomas A Hendricks. Indiana produced other great Democrats just as i; produced great Republicans besides Morton. But now that Morton has bee’?, recognized nothing would be so fitting as to place beside him his equally distinguished political contemporary and opponent. Congressman Cromer has arranged for a hearing at an early date before First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock in reference to various postoffice matters in the Eighth district It is not understood that there is any likelihood of a postoffice upheaval but there are various odds and ends of the service in the district that need to be “straightened out.” I The Indiana Horticultural Society, at its closing session in.the §tate house adopted resolutions condemning the ' present method of distributing seeds for the government, recommending ' the enactment of a uniform package law in Indiana and asking an appro-, priation of SIO,OOO by thfe riitext legisla- ( ture for use in carrying 6n a the work of orchard inspection throughout the State. i '“ . 1 The impression that the public gathers from the Roosevelt-Storer contro- i versy is that the president was indis- i creet to write the letters that he is 1 said to hav6 written to the Storers, ; and that he was, perhaps, hasty in removing Mr. Storer from an import- i ant post; but that the Sterers have been guilty of a breach of good manners in publishing to the world their private correspondence, under whatever pretext. The statisticians of the government : are able to prove by figures that the cost of living has not increased faster than the. increase in wages, but the average housewife is prepared to prove the controversy by receipted bills and salary envelopes. The statis■tfffians will have to try another tack. •-.-Commoner. Louis Ludlow, Washington correspondent of the .Star, says that George Cromer will be in the next congressional fight, probably as a candidate, but certainly as a factor in the nomination, Mr. Cromer sends all the roasts he gets by mail to the Observer for publication, presumably to arouse sympathy. John D. Rockefeller has given .SIOO,000 towards missions in Egypt but there are thousands of places where it could be used to better advantage tn America where the Standard OH magnate made his fortune.-—Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette. ' • Even the base ball leader is remembered in these days of bigger salaries. Ban Johnson, president of the American will draw $15,000 per year hereafter. And a congressman is only drawing one-third as much-—and that's more than* some of them are worth. — Columbia City Post.'

The income tax is finding some pow- < erful friends. Adolf Busch the SL < "Loftis millionaire, is out in an? interview favoring it and he makes a strong-argument; He thinks- that we ought to reduce the tariff and, through the income tax, make the rich pay -i their proper share of the cost of administering the government. “Any 1 man,” he says, “with money should be ashamed to oppose such a reasonable and just obligation.” The whole ] situation would, in his opinion, greatly 1 improve if “the masses Were convinced I that the moneyed interests were not ’ evading a single debt they owed to their government.” j - ' ” • j • ’ '"4 ■- y.”* Says Ludlow, the Star’s Washington correspondent: .Congressman Cromer is preparing for some blood letting. He is honing his political knife and >vill be ready for business by the time a Republican candidate for congress is to be, nominated in the Eighth district. It is a toss-up as to whether he intends to. be a candidate himself or whether he proposes to see that one ?f his political friends is nominated. It turns out as expected. What its promoters are pleased to call a “modified”- subsidy bill has been prepared and Congressman Watson is for it. Not only is Watson for it, but he is to see that it is passed by the house. The subsidy graft smells just the same whetljpr it is called “modified” or anything else. The sugar thist has been fined $150,000 in New York for accepting $70,000 freight rebates from the railroads. The New York Central railroad has been fined $126,000 for granting rebates. If this sort of thing is kept up the rebate business will become unprofitable. A Miraculous Cure. The following statement by H. M. Adams and wife, Henrietta, Pa., will interest parents and others. “A miraculous cure has taken place in our home. Our child had eczema for five years and was pronounced insurable, when we read about Electric Bitters, and concluded to try it, Before the second bottle was all taken we noticed a change for the better, and after taking 7 bottles he was completely cured.” It’s the up-to-date blood medicine and body building tonic.

~ AT MARION, INDIANA. Mrs. Ann Crist Visits the Keeley Institute and Meets Dr. Daniels—Some Experience. Dear Readers of the Banner • I thought perhaps you would like . ! a few lines from this part of the work. First I will say that lam busy and happy in my cure. It • seems strange now after nearly . four years of freedom from even a ; desire for morphine to be asked as I was a few days ago, “Do you J ever feel that you must use it i again?” I said no, no more than ; a person who had never felt the effect of it. I must tell you of our Keeley ( Institute. Mr. Crist and I have just returned from a visit with friends at Marion and while there visited the institute. As we were driving on Adams street and wondering if we were almost there I caught sight of the words so dear to every Keeley graduate—“ The Keeley Institute.” None but those who love the work as I do can know how beautiful it looked to me. The location is grand. A pretty, clean, cool looking home, large' and comfortable, with a wide veranda extending the entire front and side, inviting you to rest in the shade at all hours of the day. Dr. Daniels' was not in so we waited in the reception room and I was pleased to note the air of taste and comfort displayed there. Handsome new carpets covered the floor, soft, pretty, curtains floated back from the opeh windows. The archway into the next /oom was closed with beautiful dark heavy curtains. The doctor soon returned and kindly showed us through his beautiful place, to me it seemed more like a beautiful home than an institute. Through open doors you see nice appearing gentlemen reading, writing, playing games and enjoying themselves as their fancy dictates. Dr. W. V. Daniels is a Keeley graduate; his whole soul is in the work and it good to talk with him. His confidence and trust in the work is refreshing, and it makes one feel that a loved one would be safe in his care, but to fully appreciate the doctor and his surroundings one must visit the Keeley Institute at Marion, Ind.—Mrs. Ann E. Crist. ■* For terms and additional information about the institute and its work, write Dr. W. V. Daniels* Manager, Marion, Ind. New Cure for Epilepsy. J. B.
