The Berne Witness Is now set by a Mergan thaler linotype of the 'latest pattern, and that enterprisi g ■HjJJgv ; '4n- ’■•”/•■ 4 : s- ‘‘ v newspaper Is rejoicing, as they have a right and ought to do. Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, in speaking for the central bank measure, is telling the people that “Andrew Jackson was a great man, but he Is dead.” But this sneer of Aldrich, the tool of the trusts, will not be effective. ■ Andrew Jackson dead is a much greater and more potential man than AlK drich living.—Lebanon Pioneer. Al Iduring the summer vacation t there has been more or less talk among anti-Cannon republicans about dethroning the gentleman from Dan- ' ville. Some of the belligerents even go so far as to assert that they have the strength to oust Cannon if the democratic vote can be counted on to come to their aid. The strong probability is that the easiest way to get rid of Cannon will be to elect a democratic congress in 1910, and that is not at all improbable dr impossible. ' —Columbia City Post. Notwithstanding the busy newspaper correspondents who have been handing out stories of factional strife in re-organization of the Democratic party of Indiana, the fact remains that perhaps never before will the organization of the party be made with less strife and contention than In this good year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and nine. There is no i fight in sight, and the preliminary organization will be made with good feeling existing among all classes of ' the rank and file. r 3K&“HEa=SE==! Ex-Governor Durbin wants it known that he sides with Taft, Aldrich and Cannon as to the merits of ° tariff, and not with Beveridge, Cummins and other Insurgents. As Colonel , Durbin is a man of Influence in republican conventions, his advice may be I g sought on the question as to how the

party can indorse both Taft and Bev- ( eridge in its next platform. It is not 1 believed, however, that he would be 11 disposed to urge the amputation of the | 1 dog in order to save the tail. —Hart- 1 ford City News. ’ fs- James S. Clarkson, who is now inj the limelight in connection with the ’■ New York custom house, is an Iny, diana man. -He was born at Brook- , ville, in 1844, and passed his boyhood there. His father, C. F. Clarkson, was : editor of the Brookville American, and ■ the son was a typesetter and “devil” In that office. In 1856 the family mov- ■ • | ed to lowa Where the older Clarkson was elected to the state senate and the two sons, Richard and James 8., engaged in a small way in newspaper work. Eventually they became owners and editors of the lowa State Register at Des Moines. As part own- ( er and principal edltof of the paper j James 8. became prominent in state j and then in national politics. He was chairman of the Republican national committee during and following the campaign of 1884, and was postmaster at Des Moines, and later, first asslstB ant pastmaster general. He was ap-| pointed surveyor of customs at New York in I TO STARVE FRIENDS OF INSURGENTS. < The insurgent republican senators and members are receiving no mercy, and expecting little, tn the distribution of the spoils of the Taft administration. On the contrary. • * To close observers of the political field in. Washington the evident purpose of the administration is to starve out the friends of the insurgents in lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas and other western states.

I the Starvation plan has’ only spread the flames of insurrection-Phuadei-phia Record. : If the starvation policy'above out lined is to be carried out, what wll ' happen to the Indiana men who are depending on Senator Beveridge to secure their appointment to office ’ Mr. Beveridge insurged just like Cum- ■ mlns and Deliver of lowa, Bristow of Kansas, Nelson of Minnesota and LaFollette of Wisconsin. But possibly Beveridge will be excepted. It Is hardly posslble that Prfesldent Taft should have forgotten that the Indiana senator really favored his nomination for the presidency even as against one Charles W. Fairbanks. If Beveridge’s recommendations are heeded it will show that Taft is not ungrateful, but it will put the senator in an exceedingly awkward position. IT 18 THE ONLY WAY. James J. Hill is a big man in the railroad world, but he is also a big man in several other directions. There are many things that he both sees and talks about with great clearness. As a result of his study of present tendencies, especially that relating to the ever increasing cost of living, Mr. Hill declares that a change must come or the republic will go into fatal decline. That the cost of living is rapidly becoming unbearable is beyond question. The poor are becoming poverty-strick-en, the well-to-do are becoming poor, the man of ordinary wealth finds it difficult to keep in the well-todo class. Only the very rich are really “prosperthat is the policy of favoritism which by leaps and bounds. Speaking generally, one would say that there are reasons for this alarming condition. But there is only one real reason and that is the policy of favoriteism which has been pursued for a generation by the republican party. That party has persistenly legislated for. the mercenary special interests. The people have not only been highly taxed by the government for enormous and unnecessary expenses, but the mercenary Interests have been given power to levy upon them their own private tax. Early Americans rebelled against paying tribute to the Tripoli pirates, whose open exactions were but a drop in the bucket as compared with the legalized thievery perpetrated by the legislative favorites of the republican pary. If there Is to be a reduction in the cost of living and a change in the conditions which have made that cost what it is. and what it threatens to be, the republican party as now organized 1 and led must be driven frdte power ’ and it must go bag and baggage. It is the only way. During the month of November nineteen marriage licenses and ninety-ohe hunter’s licenses were issued. John Weaver administrator of the Eldridge Weaver estate, filed final re‘port. Notice ordered for December 24 for hearing of same. >
