DURBIN’S STATEMENT WORRIES REPUBLICANS

Indianapolis. Nov. 14. —The real significance of Governor Durbin s letter endorsing Senator Beveridge for reelection is becoming more apparent' all the time in view of the efforts being made by the Republican managers to give wide publicity to the document. The letter, it is now’ understood. was issued for the purpose of ' avoiding a disastrous party fight which the managers feared might split the party. The harmony talk of the I governor is really the important essence of his letter. He meant every word of it. and the other Republican managers intend to drive his arguments home. The facts are that th" state committee and managers generally are more than a little alarmed over the outlook for the next election. | They admit they will have a hard fight. and this admission means a I great deal. Roosevelt Is not popular , in Indiana and the managers know it. ' They are counting on losing many votes on this account. Then, too, the I postofflee and other frauds will bo | hard matters to explain. The tariff presents an Issue the Republicans would rather dodge The thing which I has alarmed the Republicans the j most, however, is the manner in which the Democratic party Is being welded together. In this lies their danger, say the Republicans. With the prospectr, of such a hard fight the mana-gc-s realize that any split In the party would ruin them. The plea for harmony therefore comes from the heart of the managers, who Inspired Governor Durbin's letter. The announcement of the coming Republican "love feast" has aroused quite u good deal of comment among politicians of the Democratic faith as to the wisdom of holding such social seml-polltlcal gath'rlnga at a time when the parties are not directly lined up In battle array and the tenor of all of the exnrosslons se»m« to he favortitle Already a Demo"ratlc "love feast” baa he”n nmnnsed to follow short! -- a r ‘e- t’.-e Re-vihkraw

HIS OPINION. Ilarve Richards Thinks Reformatories Are Bad Schools. “The children's reformatories of Indiana are merely the common schools from which criminals are graduated into the adult reforma ; tory at Jeffersonville and the Michigan City penitentiary,"’ was the ■ statement made by Deputy State ' Factory inspector Harve Richards. Continuing he said: “My observa- ! tion has shown me that about 85 ' percent of the criminals in the Jeff- , ersonville reformatory for young men were at one time or another in a boy's reformatory. It is eviI dent, then, that these reformatories for chi Idem do not reform. I I should not want an incorrigible ! child of mine in one of them if I expected him to reform. “I have found superintendents of the departments in the boys’ reform schools who were willing to say that these schools for the education of criminals in crime, and that they’ turn out more hardened criminals than even the officers are aware of. I believe a complication of statiestics along this line might be a valuable addition to the history of criminology." Mr. Richards is his official duties, comes in contact with large numbers of criminals and with children who have perhaps, started on a criminal life. BUSINESS CHANGE. James Rice Leases First Street Feed Stables. Homer King this morning closed a deal whereby he leases his big fet'd and sale stable on First street to James Rice for a period of three years. The barn is one of the oldest in the city and was entirely remodeled and considerably’ enlarged last spring when King took posession of it. The stables are well located and have always enjoyed a good patronage and as Mr. Rice is a thorough man his success seems assured. He took possession at once. SHAKESPEARE CLUB. On account of the missionary convention which will be held at the Methodist church next week the Shakespeare Club will hold their regular meeting Monday afternoon instead of Wednesday. They will meet with Mrs. Holloway.

January 8. Jackson’s birthday, appears to be the most suitable time. While no announcement has yet been made, the discussion is general, and it is likely that the plans will begin to assume definite shape within a short time. Som Democrat of national reputation will probably be invited to make the leading address but most of the oratory will come from the state leaders. The coroner of Marion county has moved carefully and cautiously in his investigation of the wreck of the Pur- 1 due special in this city on Oct. 31. in j which sixteen lives were lost. His ‘ evidence has led him to the conclu-, slon that there was some terrible blunder and that the attempt by the railroad to hold the crew of the special responsible was not justified. He has repeatedly intimated that a case of criminal negligence would be laid at the feet of someone in authority In the railroad company. He will likely turn over his evidence to the grand jury with the recommendation that someone be indicted. AH of the victims of the wreck with the exception of H. O Wright of Pendleton, whose spinal cord was snapped In two. are getting along well and will soon be able to leave the hospital. Sentiment among the Democrats of Indiana gathered from observers who have visited all corners of the state appears to bo rapidly crystallizing for Gorman for the nomination for the presidency next year. Since the election the stock of "the man from Maryland" has risen 50 per cent In Indiana, and now it Is seldom that sny other name Is hoard In connection with the nomination. The fact that no one seems to be forging to the front for the Democratic nominations for state offices next year is creating more or leas comment among the politicians that do things The list of those mentioned Is a very long one. but surmising on the winner is about as satisfying as the search for a winning lottery ticket.

THE CORK LEG. Name of the Lucky Oil Company. They Struck it Rich on the Sprunger Farm Two Davs Ago. The company who secured the 200 barrel oil well on the Sprunger farm two days ago have the queerest name on record, the Cork Leg Company. The greater part of the stock is owned by Nim Griffith and B. F. Fulton each whom navigates by aid of an artificial leg, hence the company name. However it seems to be lucky* for their new well is just now considered the best in the county, flowing constantly, it is reported, a stream twenty feet high. The boys cwn leases on 800 acres of land in the immediate vicinity and will noI doubt do well financially. Both are well known here. The other stockholders are Indianapolis men but they* have turned entire management of affairs over to the boys of cork leg fame.
