Either Dan Link of Auburn or Bill Johnson of Ft. Wayne is expected to land the job of state oil inspector. Dan Link named his baby boy for Tom Marshall, so barring interference by Steve Fleming, Link may be said to have a shade the best of the running at this time. E. G. Hoffman is said to want the job or Something equally as good. Here is a good piece of advice that probably nobody will heed: When approaching a railway crossing, stop, look, listen. When approaching a eurve or turn in the roadway when hills, fences, bushes or other obstacles obscures the view of the opposite approach, go slow. If in doubt, stop. Remember you’ll be a long time dead, and besides there’s the other fellow who is entitled to at least a little consideration.

The city of Huntington in the Eleventh district, obtained $20,000 for a postoffice site. Senator Beveridge had secured the passage of an sßo,ooo~appropriation in the senate, for the postoffice proper, but congressman Rauch, Democratic member from the Eleventh was not able to carry influence in the lower house to enable the senate measure to go through. The refusal of the house committee to act on the Huntington postoffice matter causes Huntington people to suggest /that a Republican congressman is needed by the district. Great progress has been made toward the establishment of postal savings banks in the United States by the subcommittee of postoffice department officials that has the details of the new system in charge. Ittis now believed by the officials that the postal banks will begin operations in about fifty offices not later than.'November. The rules and regulations of the nfew postal banks have already been drawn up and a sample pass book has been prepared. The first fifty banks put Mito operation will probably be in medium sized cities scattered throughout as many states as possible. The step planned is to call to Washington the postmasters whose offices are so chosen for a general conference with the board of trustees. If you want to buy, sell, rent, or •change anything. The Republican “Classified Column” will find your "affinity."

BOSSES’ SEAL ON MOUTH OF KERN

Amazement Caused by Speech At French Lick. KERN PRAISES REN SHIVELY •*' ■ - a , ■ . . ■» ; • Marshall Nut Among Democrats Received at French Lick by Crawford Fairbanka and Other Notables of Taggart Group—Marshall Followers Puzzled by Unusual Political Complications of Peculiar Campaign, Indiana people gasped when John W. Kepn accused fellow-Democrats of perfidious fraud and bribery In connection with the election of Senator Shively in 1909. If the bribery charges of Kern against Shively caused amazement, that, wonder was matched by Mr Kern’s astonishing speech at French Lick the other day, in which he praised Shively, the man he formerly had denounced most bitterly. Without retracting the bribery charges, Kern offered fulsome flattery to Shively, and publicly “pledged himself to talk “temperately” in future. As one of the Democratic editors says, “Kern is hermetically sealed.” Those, same Indiana people are asking, in some little wonderment, why Governor Marshall was not a central figure at the Democratic editors’ fest, in the French Lick Casino neighborhood. The editors voted to accept Tom Taggart’s invitation. The editors made up the program. The editors chose the speakers. Crawford Fairbanks and Tom Taggart, with John Kern, Lieutenant Governor Frank Hall and Sam were on the receiving line.

Where was Governor Marshall, and where was his speech, keynoting for the Democratic press? Was Governor Marshall expected, or did he refuse to venture into the classic Casino precincts?

The Democratic governor was praised in the resolutions passed by the editors, but his presence did not grace the scene, nor did his voice rise in the home of Taggartism. It is a queer political situation which makes it necessary for the Democratic governor and the Democratic press to play at cross-purposes. It is a situation pecuijar to Taggart domination. The presence of the benign King Mom us C. Fairbanks, Terre Haute multi-millionaire, apparently made up in large part for the absence of the Democratic governor. The presence of Crawford Fairbanks at the elbow of Tom Taggart apparently was takers by the editors to mean that the Fairbanks cashbox once more is to be dpened in the Taggart campaign. Ordinarily Indiana Democrats would hesitate to play Crawford Fairbanks as a central figure of their banquets. But this is no ordinary year for Indiana Democrats. They are more thoroughly subservient to Tom Taggart than ever before. He. has captured the Democratic editors, or a majority of them. He is pulling the strings with reckless hands. It is remarkable that but one editorial executive committeeman in thirteen saw whither Taggart was leading the Democratic press of Indiana when the brethren were invited to hold their convention at French Lick. It is remarkable that Governor Marshall has not been able to obtain a better hold on the self-respecting Democratic journalists of the state. As showing the attitude toward Tom Taggart and the effects of Taggart control of the editors, the resolutions praising Taggart himself are informing. The editors-say: "We have long known and appreciated the kindly qualities of heart of our host, the Hon. Thomas Taggart. We have often had brought to our attention his philosophy of life that it 1b better to give than to receive, and that a man’s life is noble just in the degree he serves his fellows. The splendid entertainment he has again this year provided for the members of our assodantion at his great French Lick hotel It another evidence of his generous nature, and we experience a genuine pleasure In assuring him in a public manner of our personal attachment to him as a friend, and of our unbounded faith in him as a man and a citizen." Every tinhorn sport, croupier, tout and dice roller in Indiana no doubt will say a loud "amen” to that beautiful and soulful resolution passed with such enthusiasm by the Democratic editors of Indiana. But how about the plain citizens? Do they share, this “unbounded faith” in Taggart?

Where Does Marshall Come in?

Speaking of the Taggartlzed French Lick Democratic editorial convention, the Terre Haute Tribune, Crawford Fairbanks’s paper, says: "It was a most-felicitous and happy occasion for Indiana Democrats." Speaking of the condition of the Democratic party of Indiana as seen through Crawford Fairbanks's specs, the Tribune says: “to the patriotism and loyalty of Tom Taggart is due this Democratic situation in the Hoosier state.” Admitting, this to be true, where does the Marshall administration come in? And if this is a specimen of the work to be turned out by the new Democratic publicity bureau, what hope can Governor Marshall have for a proper place tn Its publicity?

PETERSON DROPS PARTY PLATFORM

Democrat Making Race For Congress on a Protective Tariff Platform. OUT TO “CATCH VOTES” ■ 11 » I a “Joe Bailey” Attitude Taken by State Convention Denounced by Marshall. “Anything for votes,” seems to be the Democratic cry in. Indiana this year. First came Governor Marshall, in his state convention keynote, demanding of Senator Shively that the tariff plant—then in Shively’s hands —be a tariff-for-revenue-only plank. Then came the plank itself, which ignored tariff for revenue only, and said: “Tariff taxation should be for public purposes only and should be so levied as not to discriminate against any section, class, Industry or occupation, and limited to the actual necessities of the government economically administered.”

. This was a bald bid for votes, impliedly offering assurance that Democrats would not demand tariff revision downward. In short, the Governor Marshall view was passed by and the Joe Bailey evasion was adopted, with the aid of Senator Shively, on the principle of “anything to catch votes.” “ Governor Marshall, personally, is demanding an immediate revision of the tariff to a revenue only basis. But there is no echo to his wailing cry. On the other hand comes John B. Peterson, Democratic nominee so congress in the Tenth district, making the race for office on a protective tariff platform, which is a bold paraphrase of the Indiana Republican platform. Peterson is a protectionist Democrat, He refuses to stand with Governor Marshall. He refuses even to conceal his position, as Senator Shively tries to do. He makes a bid for votes as a protectionist, from the same platform < his opponent stands upon. “Anything to catch votes” seems to apply in his case in a most notable degree.

BOOSTS

-Matthew’s is to have a new window glass factory. The Peru woolen mills will resume business. Terre Haute reports the heaviest freight traffic ever known. Returned prosperity has taken down the “for rent” signs at Anderson. Machinery has been installed for a new cement tile factory at Winamac. The new Boyer flour mill at Bowling Green is being equipped for work. Sullivan county miners are enjoying an era of steady work and good wages. East Chicago has just added the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company’s new plant. i A new electric plant is being built at Sullivan to supply light for Sullivan, Shelburn and Farmersburg. The Wabash Valley traction company will build a $200,000 car bam and repair plant at Ft. Wayne.

POLITICAL POINTS

Tom Taggart seems to believe he is the only man who can “crank up’V the Democratic auto so it will run right -- - Governor Marshall was quick to drop the question of church activity In public affairs. The issue became too hot even for asbestos gloves. ’ On learning that John W. Kern was in far-away Michigan, Senator Shively promised to come out of the bushes and confer on Democratic campaign plans. Sam Ralston, Taggart's, this year’s choice, has supplanted Stokes Jack,son at the head of the Democratic campaign in Indiana. Taggart generally has his own way in the end. Anti-Bryan Democrats in Nebraska cheered when heated orators cursed •the Commoner on a state convention floor. The same crowd that downed Mr. Bryan In his home state holds Democratic control in Indiana. The Taggart press bureau persistently calls attention to the fact that (“Governor Marshall and Thomas Taggart addressed the meeting, and were agreed that Democratic prospects," etcetera. The Democratic governor Ought to feel flattered ;by this constant linking of his own name with Hurt at the Casino bos*.

ROOSEVELT READY WITH HIS REASONS

Jan Tell Indiana Voters of Good Work Done by Beveridge. TEDDY’S RIGHT HAND MAN Indiana Statesman Helped Advance Roosevelt Policies Very Effectively. ———■— The Chicago Tribune, commenting on the -coming of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to Indiana, to speak for the Republican ticket, details the relations between Senator Beveridge of Indiana and the former president, and conclude* that Col. Roosevelt can give very good reasons why Senator Beveridge ought to be re-elected because of the good work the Indiana senior senator has done for the cause of the people. Here is the Tribune’s article. “ ‘ln their own interest as well asthat of the nation the people of Indiana should return Albert J. Beveridge to the United States Senate.* This declaration will be made by former "President Theodore Roosevelt in a speech he has promised to deliver in the Hoosier state. It will be an honest expression based upon intimate knowledge of Senator Beveridge’s course which Col. Roosevelt had while in the White House. “It will be an indorsement given to Beveridge less as the insurgeht than as the man and Republican. It will be the return of the former President; for the loyal, zealous way in which the Indlanian aided him in getting through legislation recognized as essential to the public interests. “Mr. Beveridge will be given credit for vital assistance in: “Molding the Philippine legislative policy, which has produced peace and order with civil government in the archipelago. “The removal of the tariff wall between the United States and Porto Rico.

“Statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory, as against a proposal to organize two states. “Enactment of the Federal meat Inspection law. “Enactment of the pure food laws. “Development of reforms in connection with child labor. “Protection against spoliation of the coal lands of Alaska. “These are the tilings done for which it is possible specifically to give credit to the Indiana senator. “There are many other laws enacted and policies enforced which he has influenced during the eleven years he has been in the Upper House of Congress. Take, for example, the debates in connection with the Aldrich tariff law.

“There is no doubt that the activity of Mr. Beveridge and the colleagues who fought with him caused a reasonable reduction in some of the schedules below that which had been contemplated, and also enabled the Indianian to obtain an amendment to the act which forced the Tobacco Trust to pay millions annually to the government that under the laws of 1902 it had been collecting and keeping for itself.

“Similarly their attitude was responsible for substantial and valuable modifications of the , railroad rates bill which was passed during the last session of Congress. It is true, likewise, that statehood for Arizona and New Mexico could not have been achieved had Mr. Beveridge objected. He occupies the post of chairman of the Committee on Territories and in that position easily could have prevented a statehood bill from being reported to the Senate. “These several matters are recalled at this time both because it is desirable from a public point of view to call attention of Indiana to Mr. Beveridge’s record as w’ell as to the fact that the points are being considered by the former President in connection with the speech he will deliver in Indiana.”

Can He "Come Back"?

But Mr. Bryan has heard other political obituaries and he has been burled before. Also he has proved that he can come back. The peerless loser is counted a dead one at the present time but it is safe to guess that when the time comes for another national convention he will be chief advisor as to candidate and platform.—Lafayette Journal. Yes, indeed. He may even be the candidate. Stranger things have happened. But of course this result means-he must whip the bosses again next November.

Farmers Pay Taxes.

Grant county farmers, having sold their wheat, -are paying their taxes. This condition, brought about by a bumper crop and $1 wheat, has caused an unusual summer rush at the county treasurer's office. It is reported the farmers are going to the tax-pay-ing with grins on their faces. And they are not talking fa favor of the Democratic movement to reduce prices on farm products. - They gen* •rally agree there is a strong leaning towards the Republican party in the rural communities.
