Such a record is worthy of patriotic' commendation, and the Democrat is glad to supply it. 4 Next comes the Great Northern Indiana Fair, an event which even the weather will not be permitted to dampen. This year it will be greater and better than ever, and every man, woman and child in the county should prepare to be there. Cannot afford to miss it Congressman Adair will not be present at the Sunday school picnic at Berne next Monday. He has written those in authority there that he is good for a residence in Washington until August Two Indiana men who were voted out of office last fall by the people of this state are still doing business at the old stand down in Washington. The one is Senator Hemenway and the other is James E. Watson. Hemenway is the right-hand man of Aldrich and his business is to aid that senator in crowding through the tariff bill. He draws as much pay as he did when senator. Watson is the right-hand man of Speaker Joe Cannon, and it is his business to see that no harm befalls the tariff bill in the lower house of congress. It is presumed that he Is as well paid as he was when serving as a congressman. In fact, the two men are simply engaged as lobbyists for the beneficiaries of the tariff and the voters of Indiana should keep these things in mind, for Hemenway and Watson may be candidates for office in the future.—Columbia City Post. ( mi. nm 11.. .iuw c i Louis Ludlow, the gifted and entertaining Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Star is working hard to create the impression that the Democratic party has gone to pieces because certain senators, elected as Democrats, have voted contrary to the Democratic national platform. If the Democratic party were dependent for its existence upon these recreant senators Mr. Ludlow would be justified in his conclusions. But it is not so dependent The senator or representative who votes contrary to Democratic principles is merely an irritating political excresence and as such he will be sloughed off. A man who cannot be trusted to be a Democrat on the tariff issue cannot be trusted to be a Democrat at all. Biit the great maMx es of Democrats the country over are sound to the core oh the tariff question and they will take care that those who are not in accord with the party’s attitude are put where they can do harm. ft is clear, however, that Mr. Whittaker is something of a victim to the shortcomings of others. His story shows that he was unequal to so much authority as a general manager, thought fine as a superintendent A man of such valuable qualities in prison tending and such limitations on the business side should have had the help and support of constant supervision and revision by trustees and * governors—such attention as Mr. Hanly, for example, might have given at such times as he was gallivanting about the country uplifting Chautauqua audiences at so much a chautalk. Which brings us to a pleasant aspect of this affair—the restrained and dignifled way .in which Governor Marshall has handled the investigation, without any brass band or megaphone calling attention to his heroic deeds or making parade for political capital out of other men’s misfortunes and mistakes.—Muncie Star. it smells bad down around Jeffersonville and the reformatory, but the governor is fumigating. He is not doing it with a whitewash brush and

« as a result the services of Dr. Hurty will not he required. / 1 aneassessseaa '• %... ,U, . ■ AV. ' > Even the late Governor Hanly, wltn all his unctlous pretensions to divine - ordination for reform, seems to have overlooked some dark spots in Indiana's institutional affairs. He left a trail of abuses which it takes a MarP shall to uncover.—Fort Wayne Jour- • nal-Gazette. 1 Who was it said Jim Watson was ( going to settle down and get to work , —was going to practice law and provide for himself and family, leaving i the inference that he had spent a lifetime serving the good people of the Union at great personal loss? Well, , he hasn’t done any settling down yet that anybody knows of. But he’s busy just the satae. His address is Washington, D. C. He’s sacrificing—in the interests of the trusts and tariff barons. In other words, he’s a lobbyist for the interests at Washington, doing his best to push through the kind of tariff bill the special interests demand. That’s the way Jim Watson’s practicing law, and the people of Indianapolis are onto him. He’ll never practice law While lobbying is good. About the only law case that we have heard of Watson being interested in of late was a graveyard case over at Connersville this last week. «We never knew anything more appropriate than thin, taking into.consideration the handsome manner in which “Our Jim” was buried at the election last November. And what Is more, the people seem to be In the humor of repatipg the dose should Mr. Watson Want to try it another beat—Shelbyville News. It was just eight months' ago that The Star, in* the throve of Watson's defeat felt under the impeHous nec- ( esslty of calling the Grencastle Her- ] aid a liar. A painful, not wholly , creditable, and difficult to be forgot- , ten episode. Yet the imputation of , Imbecility that provoked the outcry 1 has not been repeated and if we have observed the Herald to intelligent ( purpose, the error will not occur 1 again. The Herald is a useful insti- , .. .Iff A • tution in its way—Democratic, unfor- . tunately, and hence itff~Dffense— ■and j welcome to The Star’s exchange table as the floWers In May. Ou( of that passage at arms emerged two friends. The occasion referred to grew out of 1 a recognition in these columns of Gov- ( ernor Marshall’s many amiable qual- , ities, and it is perhaps in order to . say that the first six months of his ■ administration have in nd way altered . the good opinion then entertained and often since then expressed. As a Democratic governor, Mr. Marshall is one to appeal strongly to a Republican newspaper. There is a delightful nonpartisan quality about his historic prepossessions and poetic- flights. He is strong for the national game, and that is much. He can keep his head cool, his mouth shut, his counsel to himself. He may be the Democratic nominee for president next time." He may even be president. Anyhow, there have been worse ones; and if such a thing should happen there would be many a dry eye in The Star Office.— Indianapolis Star. Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board of state charities, is preparing to take up at once an inquiry at the state prison to ascertain whether or not any of the foreign born inmates may be deported under the federal ; law which provides that any person convicted of a felony within three years after his arrival tn the United [ States may be deported. The inquiry is to be made at the request of Govi ernor Marshall, who desires to relieve ; the state of the expense of caring for ■ such prisoners and to relieve the com- . monwealth of being inflicted with t their presence after their release. - Similar action taken at New York - recently resulted in 319 of the 990 ~ foreign convicts being deported.—lne dianapolis News. b If all of the fellows who are alleged 1 to have committeed felonies at the 1 election in Lake county last fall Iwto been convicted it would require a good-sized ship to carry them all • across the Atlantic. e aeSSHS-SSBSSSBB t James Webb, believed to be the doldest Democrat in the United .States,

at the home of his son, Isaac, at the age of 102 years, ten months and five i days. Webb was born in Kentucky » July 27, 1806. He leaves four sons: > Jesse, aged 83; Isaac, 79; William, 64; • Ira, 60, and a daughter, Mrs. Nancy i Gard, 42. Webb boasted that he ■ never voted anything but the Demo- • cratic ticket from his first vote,which was in 1828, for Andrew Jackson for president i, . _— WITHOUT ANY FIREWORKS The upheaval at the Jeffersonvl-e reformatory has not only resulted in the resignation of both Superintendent Whittaker and Assistant Superintendent uarnaru, out It will doubtless be followed by a general clearfog of the air in that and other Institutions. So far as is now known no specific charges affecting the management of other institutions are pending, but according to general report there are conditions that are not satisfactory. What developments there will be, If any, is a matter for the future. From the time that he took office, Governor Marshall has kept his eyes closely on the state’s affairs. He proposes to see to it that the people’s Lusim ss shall be managed in a manner which will meet with the people s approval. He has done no blustering and bas touched off no red fire, but he evidently Intends to know what is going on, and how, and why, afid the cost If any skyrockets go up they will be sent up by the other not, perhaps, in celebration of something, but as a signal Os distress. One thing is certain, and that is that wherever mismanagement is shown to exist it is going to corrected, and ft WIU be corrected decently and 5 in order, and speedily likewise. Wherever an abuse; sticks up its head it will come in contact with the official shillaleh. And wherever A graft is found burrowing it will be dug out and pilfoirted for public inspection. Gov«|rfior has shown by every official action of his that he believes that Un people who pay the government’s bUtoare entlt’ed td receive the wfirth‘ money in return. In the senate the other day Senator Dolliver of lowa, a Republican, said “Nobody has any faith in what we are doing here.” And that is true. In the entire history of tariff legislation there never has been anything so disgraceful, shameless and impudent as the proceedings on the present bill. Bvreything has beendone for the “protected” interests and not a thing for the people. HBw could any-' body have faith in whatsis being done in Washington? Everyone knows that the Republican majority never intended to make, or even try to make, an honest revision of the tariff. \ . , -i i SEES MOTHER GROW “It would be herd to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters,” writes Mrs, W L.
