LI.U-'-v> : i ' ON HARMONY A Washington dispatch says that there will be no important legislation at the session of congress which be' gins next month. The, Republicans have a majority in both house and senate, but they are divided tv o hostile camps. The Insurgents declare that they will not play with the Ab-drich-Cannon crowd. The old Cellar door down which they all used to slide in harmony has ceased ~to be ’ attractive to those who have insurged. The seriousness of the Republican situation is thus referred to in the following dispatch: r “The (act is, and public men everywhere are taking note of it, the party in power is so rent with dissensions as to make agreement on any legislative program seemingly very difficult. An effort Is to be made Within the next two or three weeks to patch up some of the disagreements. The president intends to use whatever influence he is able to exert in bringing about harmony. Some westerners who have come to town within the last few days say they propose to take it on themselves to say to the president that unless the Republican party gets together for the coming session of congress it will surely lose the. house of representatives next year, and possibly the presidency in 1912. These westerners declare that the party situation is a good deal more alarming than public men who have not been about a great deal realize." Last fall-Massachusetts went Republican by over 60.000. Last week the Democratic candidate for govbr-

nor was defeated by only 8,000. There is some hope for Massachusetts yet. 1 In the meantime, “there she stands.” < -1 . L- 2- ' '■ —’ (-.".1 Senator Aldrich is making speeches : in the west in which he tells his audl- j ences that “we must lay aside our ; prejudiced, our preconceived notions.” ] But Mr. Aldrich does not mean that , He means that others must lay aside ( their prejudices and their preconCeiv- , ed notions. He has no intention i •whatever'of abandoning hfs own. The supreme court of Oklahoma has ' made an exception to the general ‘ reputation of that state. In a decision just handed down it holds that divorces will not be granted: for trivial causes such as '‘lncompatibility.” ' In. alleged cruelty there must be evldence of actual or imminent physical violence. It would thus seem that the 1 judiciary, at least, is not controlled by- crankiness.—South B.end Times. ■— - ■' .

Will anything at all be said about the AldHdlPCaiitibn- 1 ' Taft tariff law, and if so wha,t? 'Will Mr. Taft’s espousal of the . AldrichWall street central bank scheme-be approved? Will the ship subsidy grab, to which Mr. Taft has committed the Republican party, be indorsed?

Aldrlch, Cannon and Payne. ProceedIWWith tiie speech from whlcb the fkbtovfc was taken, Senator Cummins |decia J red that he would appeal to the national platform of : 1908. Senator Beveridge, also an Inr , surgent, has said something to the same effect But What does it amount to in the face of the stateJjnent of Taft, Aldrich, Cannon and •, the other , real leaders of the Repubi. lican party that the insurgents have taken themselves out of that party? The Indiana Democrats ate as ent .thuslastic for Governor Marshall for , president as are the Ohio Democrats . for Governor Hannon for president. [ Ohio generally wins/ however.—Belle. , fontatoe (O.) fcxamlner. J,. Npt only the Democrats of Ohio, ...■but all the rest of the country can • win by pinning their faith to Thomas , R. Marshall of Indiana. The statement made by Governor . Marshall that he does not want to see the Democratic party in Indiana" “made the catspaw of the brewers,, the Anti-Saloon League, the ministers or any other clash,” but does want to /see it "organized in the interests of Democracy,” will be approved by every Democrat in the state. The Democratic party -stands for certain principles and. it welcomes the support of all persons and classes; of persons who believe that the application of those principles to our government will be for the best interests of the people. The Democrats of Indiana have been true to their theory of government, and the result is that they have made this state a Democratic state. To achieve further and greater success it is only necessary for tpem to continue to be Democrats, as they were taught by Hendricks, McDonald, Vorhees, Turpie, Niblock, Gray, Matthews and Mother giants of their day and as they have been taught more recently by Marshall, Kern, Shively, Ralston, Lamb and other able and sagacious leaders. There is a good deal of doubt‘ as

to who. it is that the FairbanksV. . . ... r Hanly-Hemenway faction will settle on as the man to beat Beveridge for the senate in the event that the Republicans control the-next, legislature. That Beveridge is to be laid on fbe shelf if his enemies wljthln his party can accomplish it, is beyond question. It must be apparent to him and his friends that such a plan is on foot The placing I of Kealing, Fairbank’s manager, and Babcock, Manly’s late secretary and spokesman, in control of <4n Indianapolis under the new. administration can be interpreted only as an unfriendly move against Beveridge. 'Will the candidate of the opposing faction be Hanly, as has frequently been suggested? Or-will it be Mr. Fairbanks himself fresh from his around the trip; Who will enter the contest as a “regular” Republican who will harmonize, the fighting element®?,, As a matter of fact the Democrats propose to elect the next senator, but the Republican Situation is Interesting for the row. u «ui kick ■ * ; J " Insurgent Senator Cummins, of lowa,, voted against the AldrlCh-Can-noh-Payne tariff bill. Brother Cummins, because of that act, is one of tjhe men that Mr. Taft has read out of the Republican party. But Brother Cummins is not a-goih’— not if he chn help himself. He declares that an is. I Is'?-. - ■ ■■ • ■+*■ sue has been raised, and adds: ... ... “We shall present the issue flatly tpj every Republican convention between the present and the national convention of 1912, where it is possible for the issue to be presented. That issue is: Shall the men now in control of the party destinies be permitted to further disregard party declarations?” Naturally the question comes up as to whether Insurgent Beveridge will present that issue "flatly” or otherwise to the next state convention of ,thp Indiana Republicans. Will the InUlana Republicans stand by Beverid&g or Taft? Mr. Beveridge makes Ogh the orders for pie but it te Mr. who fills them. And he is not bogpd to, fill them unless fie wants to do so.

MM, „ ir'denounce” and taoldaatally to select i a state ticket? ’ ” According to information received • at the office of the state auperlntendent of public instruction the operations of the •publie accounting law l during the school supply purchasing season this year has served to keep down materially the expanses for such supplies for the school year. E. G. Bunnell, assistant - superintendent, said that it had .been the observation of the office that township trustees and school boards had bought so conservatively that the report for the year, as compared With that for previous years, will disclose a great saving in township and city school funds. “The office,” said Mr. Bunnell, “is thoroughly in, accord with the operations of the law as concerns township trustees and school boards. While we maintain at all times that school rooms should be equipped with all the necessary accessories for properly teaching all subjects, we do not believe that, in the case of the common schools, tills notarial should be expensive. A 25-cent globe in most cases may be made to do the work of one costing |SO. It is the need.less expenditure of money tor expensive apparatus when expensive apparatus is not necessary that this office has been objecting to, and in this respect we are thoroughly in accord with the accounting board.” NEVER BUSTED < ■ ' ■ '■ A SINGLE TRUST < '. • The so-called trust-busting Boosevelt administration never bpsted a single trust As a matter of fact the trusts were never more, impudent defiant and tyrannical than they are today. Their devil-fish tentacles are 1 more numerous, longer and stronger than ever before, and they airti reaching out in all directions and gobbling ! up stray independents that they pre- ’ viously overlooked or did’t need.
