' OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. ffFWIMSfaXU.I.. i—» - - | ' THIS IS THE HARMONY THEY TELL YOU ABOUT P The Richmond Palladium (Rep.) h owned by Mr. Leeds, who has just ’ bought the Indianapolis, Sun, contained the other day evidence of the quality of “harmimy” that exists among the republicans. Mr. Leeds is for Beveridge and he thinks there is a | conspiracy to “down him.’’ And here. is what his paper said: “With all the , political finesse of his long experience as Cannon’s whip, James E. Watson marshalled his political allies against Beveridge and insurgency in the Sixth district at the Rushville convention. Skillful manipulation and well-matur-ed plans, which sought to put Beveridge in a box and yet leave no trace to the outward eye only failed of complete success by the efforts of Beveridge’s strong following in Wayne. • • , Watson’s attempt yesterday will set the district to thinking. It is believed that this Is the beginning of the : fight by the regular organization of Aldrich and Cannon to smash insur- i gency at any cost The plans are, it 1 is said on good authority, to defeat 1 the whole republican ticket in this 1 state in the hope that the patronage 1 will revert to Watson and Hemenway 2 as advisors to Mr. Taft in the next J national campaign. ♦ • Watson will 1 stump the state making speeches in < favor of the tariff. It is pointed out 1

that this is calculated to have a bad| effect on the whole state situation : and Indicates that Watson is either blind or fully intent on the destruction of republican success, for his reputation as a lobbyist at Washington is widely known.” And then came Mr. Watson and offered the following suggestion in rebuttal: “To defend a bill passed by a republican senate, a republican house and signed by a republican president; to defend a bill voicing the congress on a principle that has been fundamental in republican politics from Lincoln to Taft; to defend a bill which I personally believe to be what President Taft caHed it—‘the best tariff bill ever passerby the republican party’—that is treason and betrays a disposition to destroy the party!” Mr. Watson concluded if that was treason and was evidence that he had entered into a conspiracy to “smash Beveridge,” that It was for Mr. Beveridge’s friends to put it in their pipes and smoke it, whether it tasted good or not Har- > mony? Why, to be sure! ■ ssmsksmhssmbsbb TIMELY - -?* PARAGRAPHS

(From the Philadelphia Record.). •< Ship subsidy, such as is proposed In the bill just reported in congress, is another name for a bounty which no government of the people has a right to bestow and which no citizen has a right to receive. # The ways and means committee that had a hand in devising the schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff is proper body to carry on an investigation into the cost of living. No one would think of getting from the devil an impartial explanation of his own deviltry. Perhaps the most ingenious explanation of the high cost of living invented by the predatory rascals who are really responsible is to lay the greater part of the blame at the door of the / American housewife. That lady will ' have her influence later on. - v —. ... High prices are generally and rightly attributed to high taxation. There is little complaint Insofar as the taxes are collected at the custom houses and .find their way into the federal treasury; but there is a rising tide of indignation against the burden laid upon the mass ot the population by protect- * ed monopolies and combinations, which goes only into nidivldual pock-

The temperance people of Chicago have filed a petition of 75,000 names 1 'asking a- vote on local option in that city. Under the lawd of Bllnols 61,000 names were necessary. So the vote : wfll undoubtedly be taken at the com- . ing spring election. The energy and enthusiasm which secured the names of the petitioners will now be employi ed to secure a vote against the sa ’ loons. It does not seem possible that the Windy City will be voted dry. ; But the arrogance and law-defying attitude of so many of the'saloon men invite destruction. —South Ben Times. X «3MSB«HaSSBS!Stt The Indianapolis Star is the official organ of Senator Beveridge. It speaks with authority, and this is one of the : things it says: “At one point the president and Mr. Beveridge disagreed; and at all others they are in accord.” Therefore Mr. Beveridge favors • the ship subsidy grab, the central bank ! scheme, stands with Mr. Taft in his support of Ballinger against Plnchot, and other matters. The only point of disagreement, according to the organ, . is as to the mere amount of tariff graft ? that the republican majority in con- ■ gress should realize. It is good to (

keep the record straight. Since the charge has been made that the tariff is . the cause of the awM increase in the cost of living, the senate is going to “investigate” the matter. Aldrich, as the republican leader in the senate, has taken the pains to look after thb make-up of the investigating committee. It should be understood that there will net be a fair or honest investigation. It will be even worse than a whitewashing affair, and the country may expect a report not only exhonorating the tariff, but praising IL However, every one knows that the tariff is at the bottom erf the trouble, without invqs-

tigation by any sort ot a senate committee. A staff writer for the American Magazine, after wareltag through the west, writes a leading article for the publication and heads it, “Is the Republican Party Breaking Bp?” The author sets out facts which show strongly that the republican party is breaking up. The feeling in the west, is is stated, is such as will give the democrats control of the next congress. And speaking of the “insurgent” movement, is it said that “it declares with a loud voice what it is against, but whispers and glances aside when asked how far It is willing to go.” And the insurgents ptill dread the accusation of party disloyalty, because, while declaiming and even revolting against the wrongs and blunders of their party, “they swear eternal allegiance to the source of their wrongs.” Naturally the republican rank and file who desire to see something accomplished, will turn to the democratic party, breathing a plague upon both “insurgents” and "regulars.”, This of course can mean nothing less than the collapse of the

republican organization. The republican state committee has been reorganizes! fcy electing E. M. Lee, a Beveridge man, chairman, and John F. Hayes, Mr. Beveridge’s private secretary, as secretary. Announcement Is made by those in authority that the campaign Is to be “a Beveridge campaign.” In view of this statement it might be well to Inquire ot Mr. Beveridge as to where he stands on the ship subsidy grab and the central bank hold-up. It . might be a good thing also to have him state precisely how much of the tariff graft he favors and how much he opposes. How large a private tax does he think the trusts and monopolies should be allowed to levy on the people? Where the tariff now put one dollar in the treasury for public purposes it puts five in the pockets of favored individuals for private purposes. As Njr. Beveridge has said that he thinks five is too much, would he be satisfied with four or three? He should make it clear where he stands with respect to these amounts. In the meantime the people of Indiana should get ready to send a man to the senate who is opposed to and will vote against the entire private tax, a thing that Beveridge will not do. Nothing up the ire of the republican editors of this state

, quite so much as the report sent out the latter part of last week that they had endorsed the Payne-Aldrich tariff at their State meeting. It made all of them screaming hot, and their denials are vehement fend emphatic. Inasmuch As the present tariff law is the product of a republican congress and has the endorsement of the president of the United States, it is strange that the republican editors of Indiana should turn their backs ‘on it and get angry when they are represented to be supporters of it. It was only two weeks ago that Judge Heaton won the high regard of the delegates to the republican district convention by declaring that • his party “approves instead of denouncing things.” The question is, Why don’t the republican editors of Indiana approve the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, a child of their own, conceived, born and nurtured by the party leaders and representatives? Taft says it is the best thing in the tariff line the country has ever had and so does Jim Watson. What is the matter with the republican brethren? Can’t they tell, a good thing when they are looking at it?—

Columbia City Poet 9SB9EVKKSEBK99E9 * ’ THAT ■ TIRED FEELING > ,■ We had much talk and :10ud talk 1 last fall, and even after congress meh ' about the retrenchmentpolicy of the , administration and the prospective economy of congress, but an experi- , enced public was inclined to take it all with at least a grain of salt. If there -was really to be economy, so much the better; but if there was not —well, extravagance wab to be expected, and there was nothing to do but to grin and bear it until next November. The people generally ex-

pact nothing in the way of economy, and they are not likely to be disappointed. It was, of course, encouraging to learn that the president was requiring all the departments to cut their estimates to the bone; it was fine to hear that there was to be no rivet and harbor, and perhaps no public building bill, and it was interesting to 'hear Mr. Tawney eloquently set forth his program of national economy. * * And why, good sooth, should the public expect anything else? The old guard, which is to say the old gang, is still in control. The people have stood for this sort of thing often before, so why npt again? But there is an end to ati patience, even of the people’s patience, and there are signs everywhere that the people are tired of haying their money used as if it did not cost anything; they are tired of official extravagance; they are tired of the extortionate tariff;, they are, in fact, tired Os everything that hap saddled on them the present enormous cost of living, and they are especially t|pd of the men responsible for it “If the republican party standa or

T’ • »' —' . ——— falls by the Payne tariff bihp It will fall,” says' the Indianapolis 'Star (Rep.) As one faction of the republican party stands by the Payne bill i • ■ — » I and another faction refuses to stand by it, there is nothing for the party to do ekcept to fail. And that is precisely what the country expects to happen. Not only that, but it is the very thing that should happen. Neither of the republican factions represents the real sentiment of the people On the'tariff question. Relief from trust domination and robbery is the demand of the time, and this will not come from either the standpatters or the Insurgents, both of whom avow eternal fealty to the doctrine that it is proper to enact a law whereby a few persons are enabled to tax all the rest for their oWnl private profit. r • tS’L! ■ 1 'IM -\.J Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S ‘ CASTORI A I A few minutes’ delay in treating some cases of croup, even the length of time it takes to go for a doctor often proves dangerous.
