TARIFF THE ROOT OF ALL EVhL ‘"the tariff is directly the root of all our governmental ills. What it has not done directly it has done indirectly. It has taught us how to make graft legal. It has established a new code of morals for us. It has weakened the moral fibre of the country. It has bound up the decalogue in lavender and gold lace and relegated it to conversational use on Sunday s. It has brought us where the average man is satisfied if he is in no danger from a grand jury. "It is time to explode the myth of the American workingmen as the pro tectionists see him. The steel trust has 2,700 American workingmen up at. Gary; they all come from the south and southeast or Europe, and they were duly taken to the polls and voted to a man, and they voted the republican ticket for their own protection, no doubt. The American workingman who is worthy of the name, is not afraid, of the competition of the European workingman, and he does not permit the trust he may happen to work for to tell him how he shall vote. ♦ ♦ * “AIL the recent third party talk has come from the republican side of the house. It is the usual discussion when new alignments are the order of the day. But whenever ETAOI of the day. But whether or not any ' third party movement affects the 1 democratic organization we know now as the democratic party depends on ’ this organization itself. I object seriously to loading the party platform ’ with all kinds of ’isms.’ The people can think of only one thing at a time, ' and that is all they should be asked to think of. A tariff-for-revenue-only ' platform with each word meaning just what it says, ,is simply enough. “New alliances are being formed. Views are changing. But, instead of a third party, I believe that the republican party will become soon the gathering place of all those who believe in the protective principle. It will attract all those, many of whom now profess allegiance elsewhere, who believe that government exists for ths benefit and profit of the few—that its function is to aid in giving to those divinely or providentially chosen and i in taking from those who create wealth. All others will be driven intxj the democratic party, “In such a division of political views there hike been only one outcome as far as my reading of history has taught me. The people have always won. - That is why I say the one platform necessary is a tariff for revenue only. It marks plainly the division between’ privilege or aristocracy and popular rights by democracy.’’--Inter-vtew with Governor Marshall in New York World. . The republicans would have secured just as many votes this fall if Uncle Joe Cannon had been fenced out ot Kansas. —Columbia City Mail, Rep. All of the talk about organizinfi a new party comes from republicans and shows better than anything else could how deep the dissatisfaction in that party is. When a party loses the confidence of its own rank and file it is about at the end of its rope. ■ Ex-Senator Hemenway showed what he could do in the First district, where he lives. The congressional convention, over which he presided, nominated a “regular," indorsed Taft and the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and said that Beveridge is a “brilliant orator.” There are plenty of men who are not republicans that the convention could have said are “brilliant orators.” Now that Roosevelt has promised to spedk In this state on October 13th (ominous number), the republicans are greatly disturbed. They don't see how he is going to satisfy both sac-

offend either the “regulars" or the “insurgents,” and make things worse than the now are, is such is possible. Isn’t it awful? The Indianapolis Sum takes two columns of its space to resent the five line intimation of the Marlon Chronicle that it is a valuable ally of the democratic party in this campaign. If anybody tells you that the Sun, notwithstanding its protest, is a republican paper, don’t believe it. It isn’t supporting any republican insurgent or regular except Mr. Beveridge, and Its support of Mr. Beveridge is the worst kind of a handicap in his race for re-election.—Huntington Morning Times, Rep. Whatever of good was accomplished at the late session of congress was due to the votes of the democrats, aiden by a few insurgent republicans. But when th&e insurgents refer to the tact they declare that “We did it” and give the democrats no credit whatever. On the contrary they turn about and abuse the men without whose aid they would have looked like a plugged nickel and would have amounted to no more. HE IS ONLY COQUETTING WITH INSURGENCY The following from the Pittsburg Post is such a true and just statement of one phase of the present political situation that it should be read and considered by honest men in both parties: “To employ the lingo of the boulevard, possibly no greater bunco was ever framed up than is now under construction by the redoubtable mouth-re-former of Sagamore Hill. No mystery really attaches to his machinations. Politicians have played his combination before, and in strict accordance with his present method. He designs to play both ends against the middle. He will throw the weight of his alleged popularity and prestige and pretentious ethics in favor of an insurgent like Beveridge in Indiana to cajole the regulars to support a candidacy waged upon a duly adopted platform. He will find no difficulty in diving through the earth to the antipodes in Massachusetts, where his Pecksniffian friend Lodge is conducting a similar candidacy upon a distinctly and diametrically different party creed. So will he distribute favors, without regard to C^>sl»tency; but imbued with the partisan zeal to help elect any kind of a republican anywhere. “Should, by any popular befuddlement, this embrace game succeed, Cannonism will be reinaugurated, and T. R. will exhibit his teeth behind Ups parted in an exultant laugh. For surely insurgency at present is a minority element in republican ranks. When regulars and insurgents in perilous situations are rescued the old motto ot “addition, division and silence” will be bung above the feasting table of the united gang. “Two conclusions should impress the citizen of honest and positive convictions. The mere fact that republican insurgency exists is proof of the truth of the democratic indictment. The views of Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Lodge are utterly irreconciliable. If the ballot be the silent register whereby a voter's political ideas can be expressed, common sense dictates its casting for a compact organization which has long and consistently espoused thP doctrines which, under stress of foul weather, these insurgents for the exigent moment uphold. To vote for either republican faction in different communities is to squani der the value of the ballot. Mr. Roose--1 velt, by every token, is a rank parti- > san of the Aldrich-Penrose kidney, and - his coquetting with insurgency is but i in furtherance of that medaeval Ital- - ian system of the end justifying the i means.” Now since it is decided by the democrats and their state organization is to invi’e the peerless leader, W. J.'Bry- '■ an, io lend his voice and aid in Indi- | ana during this campaign, we should ' like to inquire by what mail a similar invitation goes from the republican Committee to that grand man and ft. ry > , -■ • Y-i-j

Chairman u Jackson will extend the invitation, and many other personal letters will follqy the one to be sent by Chairman Jackson, and it is a safe bet now that Mr. Bryan will return a favbrable reply and that he will be here during the exciting days of the campaign. . "■'"i" 1 " ■■ ■ The stories that from the northwest indicate a serious crop failure in the. Dakotas, Montana and Canada, because of the droutn and hot winds. While there are no reports of distress or need, the failure Is opening the eyes of the people to the fact that every" section of the country has some disadvantages, and that right here in Indiana we have far less to contend with than do the residents of most any other part of the country. *The drouth in the northwest will probably check the tide of emigration to that section.—Lebanon Pioneer. I— The republicans of the state are now deprived of another great issue in this campaign. For a month most of the big headliners in the republican newspapers of the state have been to the effect that the democrats have I: barred Bryan from taking part in the campaign because he take, up I: the cause of county option in his ; home state. Bless your deat souls, 1 the democrats and the prohibition- i ists are the only parties in Indiana ( that by their platforms stand for tern- i perance. The republicans ignored it < completely. It is but fitting that Mr. ] Bryan should come to Indiana and j lend his voice and aid in behalf of ] one of the two temperance parties. ■ ■■ ~ I ■ 1 The standpatters of Indiana are 8 just beginning to show their hand. 1 Uncle Joe Cannon is to be brought into the state to offset the effect of the Roosevelt visit Os course lie wiH j speak for one of the standpat ckn'didates for congress, namely, f 1 the Fifth district, but. his doctrine j there will apply to the whole state. As he refers to Beveridge as a democrat, it is possible that his visit to this state will be for no benefit of the senior senator.—Golumbia City Post. ■ * We see it all now—wp see the ( great crime against the people—-we see the sins of a republican congress and the virtue of a few who had the temerity to stand for reform and id so doing get their pictures in the popular magazines. Boiled down, insurgency has its being in two schedules of the Payne tariff law, those on wool and gtoves. Because congress didn’t! reduce the Dingley rates on items of these schedules insurgency saw an opening, made its stand, and now asks the people to believe that congress was controlled by corrupt and selfish interests.—Lafayette Journal. Along with nearly every other newspaper man in Indiana, Thomas F. Bresnahan was to the writer his best friend. His sudden death, coming as it did in the vigor of manhood, mike the grief of bi? legion: of friends the more poignant. He wa§ an ideal citizen, a cultured an J courteous gontieman and i newspaier writer of high rdnk and brilliancy. As editorial and managing editor of the' ’ .Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette he long ago won a place of high standing and I 1 honor among the great newspapers of ’ the middle west. His death removes ’ from the activities of life a brilliant ' mind, a tried and true friend and a 1 prince of good fellows always. - In - these dark hours of sorrow we can ‘ but extend the hand of sympathy to the ’ bereaved wife-an the five fatherless daughters, and may God be kind i<> them, as he has to us, in permitting ' us to know Tom Bresnahan. > ===== The men now managing the Tepub- - • llcan state campaign have made a canI vass of the stale, it is said, and have ’ found that only 35 per cent of the rei publican voters agree with President I Taft on the tariff law. And yet dore

It is likely that ! during the first week in August county YYMMrHvxra will hh tnlrATi nn nnd in I in Dv ta en up, ano n inib way the county committees in each and every county in the state will .get into action for their work in the campaign. The democrats intend ta be a busy lot of Indians and will thorejughly organize and ijake the victory not only sure and certain, but they will make it big enough so that no one wiH have room for doubt ’ ======= “I never m my life used such a thing aa a poster, a dodger or a hand bill. My plan for twenty-five years has been to buy so much space in a r.ew.p.per and Ml ft up with wh.l f wanted. 1 would not give an advertisement in a newspaper of four hundred circulation for five thousand posters and dodgers. If I wanted to sell cheap jewelry or run a lottery scheme I might use posters, but I would not insult a decent reading public with hand bills.” The above paragraph of wisdom is the fruit of a life time of actual experience by America’s most successful advertiser, John Wannamaker. Ex-Governor Durbin contributes a long dissertation on public extravagance to an Indianapolis newspaper] and he attempts to call a halt in the munificence of pub! Ic expenditures in both state and nation. Moreover, the former governor concludes it Is Abe cost of high living and not the high cost of living that ails the country. There’s no question of the public extravagance. but the prices you pay at the butcher’s, the baker’s and all the rest are no myth to be dissolved by theories and abstract conclusion Thirty cents a pound for ham is more than twenty cents a pound. The ninety-nine out of the hundred would like to be toted away from the fact! but it is inescapable.—Fort Wayne} Sentinel. | /-'t.'.'. tk-'z -■ •’ ■ ‘'Vl’ l. . I The Indianapolis News in a series of articles has shown how the Indiana supreme court, which has been solidly republican for many years, has by technical construction, defeated the purposes of many important acts of the legislature. One of these laws, known as the factory act, was passed by tne democratic legislature of 1893. It limits the hours of labor, prohibits the employment of children under the age of fourteen years, provides for the inspection of elevators add fothe cleaning of machinery; prohibits manufacturing in tenenjents, provides for proper ventilation in factories and for the Inspection of factories by public officers. This law, accof&lng to tde News’ articles, has been practically wiped out of existence along with others affecting labor. ==— “Everybody grows, rich from handling food except the man Who raises it,” says the New York World. With one amendment this is all right. Everybody grows rich from handling food except the man who raises it and the man who eats it.
