J "..LSyi. . .~L-— me will VIMT WITH US M The following is taken from the'dinKs. ■ ..... v ' !♦“>•>» SAftU'fl gfe cinnati Enquirer: / ®® “Senator Beveridge is. expected ,>to.t return to Indianapolis soon to remain two or three months. He Bari completed a beautiful new residence on Washington boulevard during the last, year, and It is said that he is anxious to come home and enjoy it as long as possible. During his absence in InU . diana he will make two oY three speeches, and it is probable that some U; of the policies for the party in the w uext campaign will be fully considered/,’ . It is pleasant to know that, having completed “a beautiful new residence i during the last year,” Senator Beveridge return to Indiana “to remain two oi* three months?’ That is a long time for Mr. Beveridge to remain in Indiana. But besides all this, B . ..he proposes to favor his benighted constituents with i“two or three speeches” in which he will mark out his plans for the next campaign. It is hard to tell how Indiana would get along if it were not for these rare visits and philosophical disquisitions of the senior senator. However, it might be well to have a senator who realty lives in the state Instead of ppe vfho makes only an occasional pilgrimage to look after personal fences. A Richmond man has tried the bee Hgy; ‘ !:'-w ‘ >i'-; 'sting cure for rheumatism and pro- \ I , nounces it a success.

The New York Sun declares that' the new corporation tax is not fta rtafenue, but foj* “immediate partisan politics,” and that It will be used, tq coerce corporations into being- “good’/; according to the exigencies of;Republican campaigns.

An Eastern paper, speaking of the tariff, says that “the plundering of the consumer will not go beyond a certain point.” Certainly not When the trusts have gathered in all that the consumer has there will be no need of further plundering. Until that IS accomplished, however, it seems that the game will go on so long as the work of revising the tariff is left to its “friends.” The Dayton Journal is disposed to ridicule the statement that has been Er made the past summer that the people are studying the tariff. It acknowledges that they are manifesting considerable Interest in its schedule: but as for understanding or even studying them, it doubts that thre< Es men can be found in Dayton whohavt even read the tariff law. The Tlmei has suspicions that the same condl tions exist in South Bend, and .wj! gladly publish In conspicious houpi the of any who claim to havi evefi read the law.—South Bend Times.

This statement so far as |t relates to the Democratic party, is ailiy. The Democratic party stands • for. a tariff for public purposes and in the interest Os the masses! On the 1 other hand, the Republican party stands for a tariff for private purposes and in the interest of a few favorites. The Republican factions are merely, ' fighting over the question as to how much plundering of the people should be legalized by a tariff law. Democrats are opposed to this plundering in any degree. > . i A dispatch from London a few days ago said that King Edward acting on *• • • the advice of J. Pierpont Morgan, hid some -time .ago invested hOTvlly in steel trust stock add by a rise had -“cleaned up” a million or two Os dollars. This million or two came out of somebody's pocket but it is safe to say that it was not Pierpont Morgan’s or the steel trust’s. But then it has become quite the common thing . for Morgan and the . trust magnates to steer foreign nabobs against us to their great advantage and our loss. The sweat of American faces makes much fat and easy living abroad as our, affairs are managed in these days «f trust protection under our outrageout tariff laws. That the sharpers of Wall street are at their same old tricks for robbing the public is forcibly and lucidly '■ set forth in an article quoted in this issue from the Richmond News-Lead-er. If any of the readers at The Times lose money by investing in ’ stocks or bonds of which they know j nothing except the exchange reports, they cannbt complain that they ' irere not . warned.

Aley, the present L - ... } state superintendent of public lnstruc- ( tlon, has shown that the people acted wisely in electing him over his Repubi lican opponent last fall. Prof. Aley not only joined Governor Marshall >4 needless changes in school books at a big cost to the school chlls dren, but he is putting in operation 3 some much-needed reforms of the ! common sense variety. For some time ( under other management, there was 9 danger that our common schools f would be torn away from their old . moorings and be used for purposes t never intended by the designers of e the system. Prof. Aley will not give o further encouragement to this ten- ? dency. On the contrary he-is working to maintain all of the best that the o system contains and to revive some of n the things that were discarded by his l» Republican predecessors. i- Richard Sears, -« member of the 1; firm of Sears & Roebuck, the noted j mail order house of Chicago, has dls- « posed of his interest in the firm for e $25,000,000. Twenty-five million dolls lars is a large sum. It is so large 1- that the ordinary man can scarcely »t comprehend what it means. It means » money- enough to buy Jay. county, re and this vast sum was accumulated d in the space of seventeen years 1 selling goods to people "by mall.

Surety it was bad enough to pass ' the Payne-Aldrich-Cannon tariff bill but it Is adding insult to injury for President Taft to travel over the ' country at the people’s expense to de fend it No one would object to the use of any part of the $25,000 a year allowed the president for traveling expenses if he. were going out merelyas president and on public business. Hit if he journeys as the leader,. jot the Republican party and to make speeches, in the interest of that a party he should either pay his own expenses or ask the Republican national committee to do it The story that Hanly will make an effort to succeed Beveridge for senator in Indiana is revived quite frequently in this state. So far as heard from the ex-governor has kept mum on the subject He is evidently keeping his eye on the situation and if the, political wheel revolves to his advantage he' may become a candidate!. Algood many standpat republicans are satisfied that Jleveridge hurt himself by his attitude on the tariff question, but they don’t want anything to do with Hanly. There is really an opening tor some other gentleman—Jim Watson, for instance. —Columbia City Post «— „X • .loaf t Speaking of President Taft's forthcoming tour of the country—At the : people’s expense—during whfch 'fib' proposes to “defend” the new tariff law, the Indianapolis News (Ind. Rep.) says that, sipce the day it was passed “the imperfection of the Payne tail have become Increasingly apparent, and ite so-called “downward revision - ’ has done nothing toward relieving the people of the ever-increasing burden they are, bearing. On the contrary, there has been a general tendency toward higher priced,.toward a decided increase in the cost of living, theory thing it was hoped to decrease by real tariff reform. And with thia increase in the cost -of living there have as usual, been ’ tebmparatlvely ffiew cases where there has been an increase in the rate of wages. As a matter of fact, it is doubtful if this thoroughly unsatisfactory to everybddy except “the interests.” The task of defending it is one which feyf statesmen will envy the president” ■'. . ■ This evening a company of twenty Woodmen from Decatur win drive to j Tocsin where they will assist District j Deputy Hardendorf of Fort Wayne In Instituting a camp at that placA About twenty candidates have been secured at Tocsin and they will tdnigfif receive the obligatory work as given by the degree staff of the Decatur camp number 9770.
