OFFICIAL WAFER OF ADAMB CO. . "4- — ' - ' president’* message was greeted with an apology or criticism by the entire press’ of the country, and, some of the apology and some of the criticism is not of the character to popularize the president with the masses of the people. A dispatch from New York says that a bread trust, with a capital 6f■ 115,000,000, has been formed. Backed ! by plenty of capital and organized, it is said, at the instigation of some of.. the largest flouring mills in the coun-| try, the bread trust is expected to add • a cent a loaf to the price of bread and so vie with the beef trust and the milk trust and the other trusts In adding to The cost of the primary necessities of life. <1 ‘ ' ” \ BL"V ...IH-I- ' -1 —1!.»/ Governor Marshall has been criticized by some of. the bourbons for the fact that a relative of one of his appointees had been given a position in one of the state institutions. .The governor, in his usual characteristic style, came back at his critics and named about every republican officer in the state house who had a member of his family or a near relative holding down a warm place at the expense of the state. The governor is usually loaded to the brim for those who play only the peanut game in politics. """''l 4 The report that some mean democrat was the author of the report that the republicans would abandon their love feast this year is a false cry. Every I democrat will enjoy reading the report of that love feast, wherein the , Beveridgeites would speak their real mind of the Fairbanks’ and the Fait- ( banks’ would return in kind their private opinions publicly expressed of , the insurgents. Hahly would add to V the joy of the occasion by expressing himself in vigorous language as to what he thought of all ot them, and • then the entire assemblage could be given the opportunity of getting out of .their systems what they thought of Hanly. By all means the lore feast The selection ofSenator Shlvelyaa l! assistant caucus chairman of the minority in the senate; means that at no distant day he wjli be caucus chairman in fact. It & a place that carries with it not only honor and responsibility, but it means a promi* 1 -i • nence in the affairs of the democratic party in the nation that will bring him constantly in the public eye. Senator Shively will measure to the place and responsibility and seme day is destined to occupy a prominent place in the affairs of our nation. —Y . — The tendency of the age, an evolu- “"** tor«. .4 when three business mpn, renewing their acquaintance in Chicago the other / day, took lunch together. Neither of them, a few yeaft’ ago, would have refused a mug of beer or a J Wss,<ff] wine, though none were. . habitual drinkers. Now, each in turn indicated that he had abandoned the usS'Of intoxicants, and all united bn. mineral water. This social evolution is progressing and brewers and distillers may well take notice. —South Bend Times. • ' The sugar scandals is a frightfully sticky mess, but Attorney General Wickersham insists that they will be probed to the bottom. This means, if it means anything, that the government is not .going to be content mere- * ly with dismissing a few subordinates from the customs service and prosecuting a few underlings in the employ of the sugar trust. In the big sugar combine the men “higher up” were the mainsprings of the gigantic swindles practiced upon the government No probe that does not impale the big criminals can be said to have gone to the bottom. castor] A

cember of next year if it sees fit, but Miu lu jwidai& t followed ad inurnment I will come some time next summer. &c!* Joe Son will be master of ceremonies in the house and Uncle Nelse Aldrich in the senate. In the meantime the cautious cltlken will keep his hand on his pocketbook, which win be the point of attack as usual, At. Mfe elections next fall the people can change the program if ■they will. The fellow : who suggests “Uncle Nate” Hawkins as a candidate for congress on the republican ticket again must think Nathan a fall guy WhJ, the old man has not recovered from the jolt Adair gave him a litlle eypr a year ago. Hta little flyer la politics cost him his job as kaihler' of' a bank and put him out Sin aoold world as a common contrac' tor. of public alleys. What would happen the old man should he make another race? Neln, not for. your Uncle Nate. —Bluffton Banner. “The next • republican state chairman has a large and Important work laid out for him,’* says one of the fearful party papers. It then follows the statement up with a description of the many qualities needed in a chairman, such as the republicans must have if they hope to win in 1910. Just how they are going to find the kind of a man needed Is hot told. But surely it is a big job that that fellow will have on his hands when he is found. It is so big and so uncertain that some men have already refused to be considered as available timber, knowing that defeat will do them no good. .-seesens NO MORE 1 /../ . z \ 1 OF ROOE9EVELT. -I The Ottawa Journal, a Canadian pa- 1 per, takes this view; 1 “The trujti?4M vested interests in j the United States are boosting Taft to , prevent American publican opinion | from setting direct for Roosevelt for 1 a third term in 1912. When the for- 1 mer president retunuf .to'his native, country / he will be given a welcome such as few Americans have .'ever 1 seen. In Roosevelt the people seem J to recognize the greatest personal 1 force for good In all the 90,000,000,000 1 people that form the republic.” 1 1 Os course the trusts and vested in- ( 1 tereats are boosting Taft He stands |1 tin with Aldrich, Cannon and the other J trust agents' at Washington. But It 1 is a mistake to think that the people < are crying for another term of Roose- a velt. His administration was fearful • ly extravagant. Besides, It was under < his administration and that of 1 predecessor. My. McKinley, that nlne-_ < tenths of the trusts came into exist- 1 ence. It was under hta administra- 1 tion that the cost ot living Increased 1 56 per cent Aud it was durfng®pßH administration that the customs 1 frauds were perpetrated, by. 1 trust and others.- to/kto’’' lie M.

Shively as vice chairman of the democratic senatorial caucus is taken by some of j the Washington political seers as an I indication that Indiana is to be the ■ j main battlefield in the campaign next year. It may be true, and If it is it can be truthfully said the democrats of Indiana were never in finer fettle for a fray. The party is united as It ■ had not been in a score of years, ft " ■ presents solid ranks under splendid 1 leadership.
