Spitzer, a dock superintendent, and' four $lB-a-week checkers employed by the sugar trust have been sent to the penitentiary by the United states government on account of custom house frauds that netted the -men/‘higher up" in the trust of millions Os dollars. The “higher up’’ men have not been prosecuted or• even investigated. Speaking of the scandal the Indianapolis News says: “Certainly the results of this sugar trust inquiry have thus far been meager and disappointing. The men who really profited by the frauds are still untouched. We do not know -how It was that nothing was done to stop the frauds, though the attention of the government was called to them time . and again during the late administration. We do not know whftt it was that Secretary Shaw meant when he said, when appealed to in behalf of old man Corsa, that his “hands were tied.” However, Spitzer and four of the little fellows are to sweat for the crimes which were committed to in- 1 crease the dividends out of which the Havemeyer and other fortunes have 1 been built up. The underlings did 1 only what they knew they were ex- 1 pected to do, even if not formally in- 1 structed to do. No one supposed that ' any specific instructions to steal from ' the government were given by those 1 in high authority. Such things are 1 not done in that way. But we may ! be sure that those in charge of the ’ weighing of sugar made it very plain 1 to the little fellows that they were to 1 beat the government, for if it had not 1 been so the |lB-a-week checkers would 1 have had no reason to do what they did. It was all for the trust, all for dividends. The men Who get the money go free, while those who eazned it for them at such terrible cost go to the penitentiary. ’lt seems to us that ■ C£>. congress ought to look into this whole business.” ; WELCOME TO OUR CITY We tip our hearts to the gallant Knights of Kekionga lodge. They have been tested by all the arts, and their bravery is unquestioned. Our citizenship, without regard to church or creed, joins with them in welcoming to our fair city the many visiting Knights, and as we welcome them we want also to congratulate the membership of Kekionga Lodge, No. 65, and to wish for them many years of happiness in their magnificent home —one of the most beautiful in the city. The few braves who have borne the burdens, laid the plans and made possible what for many years has been but an idle dream, are perhaps entitled to a , few additional roses but nevertheless the entire membership—now two hundred strong—deserve all the praise that human breath and printer’s ink can bestow. It is glveh; and given freely, by a citizenship composed of the salt of the earth and who believe In the sacred principles of Knighthood —Friendship, Charity and Benevolence. . ..... ■. ■ - wsrarssessßswssa - SEVERAL VARIETIES OF REPUBLICAN GROUCHES One of the many industries of lead- / ing republican newspapers these days is that of conducting voting contests to find out how wide apart various republican elements are and how unpopular* different republican leaders and measures have become. One oi the largest of these undertakings has just been brought to a successful close by the Chicago Tribune, the leading republican newspaper in the middle west. Several thousand votes cast by republican editors in many states were received and canvassed and the results duly announced. More kinds of trouble are shown than one “would ? care to shake a stick at Knocks are

administered to almost everybody and everything conspicuous in republican affairs. Irritants and counter-irritants are found In profusion. In Indiana thirty-three republican editors stand up boldly for Cannon, while all the others vote just as boldly against him. Fifty-seven of them endorse the rich-Cannon tariff law, while the rest of the bunch are against—largely, it it suspected, out ot deference to that consistency which support Mr. Beveridge’s Insurgency requires. Other voting contests are being arranged by ambitious publications, and In due time every republican of influence will have been heard from and the work of listing and cataloguing the different varieties of grudges, grievances and grouches entertained by them toward each other will be finished and ready for inspection. From all Sides the Journal-Gazette is encouraged, to continue its battle against vice, and it will. We did not precipitate the issue. Mayor Grice, in his personal platform, promised to eliminate all forms of immorality, and, receiving the indorsement of the people, he must fulfill his promises or confess that he simply meant to deceive the citizens of .Fort Wayne, who supported him in good faith. The law makes his duty plain, the power is in his hands and the disposition is to sustain and. help him in the good work.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. ' m The assertion is sometimes made that Before the campaign Is over Mr. Beveridge and all other Indiana republicans will be defending the Payne tariff bill and that they will be forced to do so as it is the test of republican loyalty. This is a position that discredits those who put it forward, for one very simple reason; and that is. that Mr. Beveridge voted against the Payne bill for the reason, as he himself said, that It is not a faithful redemption of republican pledges. Suppose that Mr. Beveridge, after voting against the Payne bill, were now to turn around and say that -It was a faithful ° redemption of republican pledges and was the test of republican loyalty. What sort of a standing would this give him as an honest man or a public servant? It Is hard to be-

lieve that there exists, among Indiana republicans, a conviction that Mr. Beveridge should now execute this somersalt. It is harder yet to believe that'they would regard that step as a. wise and honorable act on his part, or one that would tend toward republican success in November.—lndianapolis Star (Rep.) In the opinion of Erank Downey of St Patrick’s Roman Catholic church at Cairo, the racial war there Is due to too much politics. He asserts that niggers are induced to come to town for the reason that they are paid a good price for their votes. “To my mind it is a brand of disgrace that a white man should climb into office by the rotten votes of negroes,’’ says Father DoWney, “but so long as the negro can vote in Cairo there will be trouble.’’ If the money and nigger combination were eliminated in this state it would not be such a difficult task to win the state from the republican party.”—Columbia City Post Now comes a very friendly mention of the Hon. A. A. Adams of Columbia City and his candidacy for a place on the appellate bench. He is mentioned as a man of sterling worth and a lawyer of good repute and ability. Here where we all know, love and admire the geniality of Ms. Adams and respect him for what he is, this stereotyped recommendation is little less than superfluous, but in order that other remote suburbs of this great part of Indiana ipay know him better, we voice the expressions made by others of our fraternity, and thus we hope to impress the next state vGlx v yaIVAVU cuo-t lax© XXVXX, AiIUX©W A* Adams is such a man, such a lawyer and such a democrat, that his nomination will be a matter of form. Here’s to Judge Adams. The Providence (R. I.) Journal, an independent paper, which has heretofore supported republican candidates, has got its eyes open at last. It says that “when the American has to pay

I more than the Englishman for Amerl- , can products It is clear to the dullest i intelligence that he is paying a /lls- , proportionate share of the profit, and that it is the monopoly of the American market which permits such shameless extortion.” This 18 precisely what everybody la thinking nowadays. And it should he remembered that this “monopoly of the American market” has been brought about by republican tariff legislation. 11 ■wniß'eaasg—gw ■The eleven democratic congressmen from Indiana have proved by their acts that they can be trusted to stand firmly for the interests of, the-people and against all forms of grabs and grafts intended to /benefit the trusts and other special interests. When it was proposed the other day by a member from Mississippi to offer a substitute ship subsidy bill—less objectionable in some respects than the one now pending .but fully as offensive from principle—every democrat from Indiana immediately went on record against the proposition. When thfese faithful representatives face their constituents next fall they will not have to make any sort of an apology for the simple reason that they have walked in the straight, (fid-fash-ioned democratic road.
