DePAUWS POLITICS.

An article that this morning appeared in the Indianapolis Star, front the no longer reliable pen of Louis Ludlow, purports to show the position of DePauw University on state politics. The article is a mixture of things true and not true. It i» quite true that DePauw University is for temperance. It is probably equally true that DePauw was unanimous for county option as a method of securing temperance in Oreencastle. It Is also, probably, quite true that Dr. Gobin and Col. Weaver will vote for James Watson, although knowing, as the Star's article insinuates, whai Watson's character, both as a man and a politician is. Both these gentlemen are Republicans and have, so far as we know, never seen any Republican act that deserved criticism. Their stand, therefore, is natural. Of more importance is that statement supposed to come from Dr. Stephenson and Dr. Blanchard. Dr. Stephen son declares that he will support Watson. It is implied that other members of the faculty will also support Watson although they have at times been Democratic. If this is so, then some have changed their minds within the last twenty-four hours. But suppose the political faith of the faculty of DePauw university has been stated coirectly, still there is one element of untruth in Ludlow's article that we can not pass. It is stated that these faculty members propose to vote for Watson in order to preserve the county option law. This is not necessary. In the first place no Democrat for whom they have the chance to vote proposes to repeal the county option law. Second, Senator Hemenway himself declares that repeal is impossible unless the Republican , senate proves traitor. We, therefore, do not /believe Ludlow lias given the region for the faculty vote for Watson, for we are sure the faAilty thinks more deeply than the surface of things, and I us not boon altogether carried off its feci by the shallow oratory of Watson 7. at the true reason is we can not s .. at this time, but It Is not fear of a hai ward step in temperance from the Democratic party.

NEWS

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ U Just a Sample. The following exposure of the regard for truth of the Indianapolis Star should set many to thinking: Of all the political "slush'' that has been sprung this year an Indianapolis and a Terre Haute paper will win in a walk as the result of articles telling of the great gains the Socialist party was going to mak • in Linton and Greene Counties. It i* true that a number of Republicans have announced that they would not vote the Republican ticket this year. An attempt was made to "line them up.” but without any success, and for fear that they will go into th<- Democratic camp an effort is now being made to get them to vote the Socialist ticket. The Socialists will make a gain here and several reasons are given for it. First, a majority of the Frenchmen. and Linton has many, will vote the Socialist ticket: next the> hav several strong candidates for the township officers, and the greatest factor is that a number of Republicans will vote the ticket because thev are against Taft and do not want to vote for Bryan. A hig reward will be paid by the Airdonie management for proof of any demonstration that has occurred at that place of amusement as described by the writer over the (lashing of the picture of Eugene Debs. As a matter of fact the crowd goes wild when Bryan's picture is shown, while Debs receives a greater applause that Taft. Speaking by pictures of Debs covering the city, the statement is false and it is very seldom that a picture of the Terre Haute candidate is seen. At a pool room, where the proprietor Is a socialist a three sheet picture of Debs is hanging and it is the only picture displayed in the business section. When the article appeared the R< public,his admitted that it was "what they wanted,” the Socialists to wash their votes on Debs. The same writ er Stated that Bryan was not strong in this district. There is plenty of money, at odds, that he carries tlm district by a larger majority than h< did in 1900. The Democrats of ihi Second Congressional District, were never 'n a better shape- and the article was to make the Di-mo -ratio headquarters feel alarmed over tlxSecond District when they should b" devoting their attention to other parts of the state. Chaney's defeat is conceded by R< publicans and it is now a question of how many hundred will he be beaten The “staff correspondent” who is re ported to have written the articles in question did not come to Linton.

industrial Monopoly.

The people ought to realize Hint they are face to face with a serious condition. Within recent month they must have seen that their own control—such control that is as the Public ought to exert—over ttx transportation system of the country Is fast slipping away from them. There lias been more railroad mileage absorbed by a few wealthy men —-by Harriman in particular- in tlx last two years than in any previous twenty-five year period in our history. Consider the triumphal march of Harriman! Two years ago when the President turned on him it was thought that he was out of the game. Now he is tlie most powerful railroad influence in the world. He rontrols $1,000,000,000 of railroad capital, and is operating lines from ocean to ocean—several of them. With the exception of the Hill roads. Harrtman is practically the master west of the Mississippi. Having made him self supreme there, he turned his attention to the East. As Mr. Lewis showed in The News of Tuesday, this man controls the Baltimore & Ohio, the Norfolk & Western, the Illinois Central, the Georgia Central, the \\ abash Pittsburg terminals, tlx* Alton. the Clover-Leaf and the Erie, •lust what is the nature of Ills relation to some of these properties will not be known- till after the election! But that he is master of most, of them, and influential in all of them is indisputable. Last of all he broke into the Rock Island only a few days ago. when he advanced money to that company. Practically everything except the Hill roads In the Northwest, the Vanderbilt lines and the Pennsylvania is nowunder the control of Handman. The Rockefeller-Harrlman combination, Morgan and Hill are today tlx* masters of our transportation system. And these men, let us not forget, are to be ‘‘permitted’’ to Increase rates 10 per rent after the election. What has happened in the railroad

business has happened in the steel industry. Here we have another bil-lion-dollar concern which is the master of the steel industry. Many of the wisest business men believe that this giant trust has, by its policy of keeping up prices, done much to retard the longed-for Improvement in commercial conditions. Prices have been kept at a figure so high as to discourage building operations and railroad extensions and improvemonts. This has curtailed the demand for labor, reduced the capacity of laboring men to consume, and so affected the business of thousands and hundreds of thousands of men • 11 over the country. The trust, instead of putting prices low enough to stimulate the demand, reduces its output, and closes its mills, thus throwing the burden of supporting the idle workmen on the communities in which they reside. In Wheeling, for instance, from 4.000 to 5, 000 men have been idle for more than a year. The trust has preferred a comparatively small business at high prices to a large business at low—and yet remunerative prices So we have an imperial industrialism which is quite indifferent to the general welfare, but which, according to the standpatters, the Government must care for. We believe that the straightest path to the cure of such conditions lies through the reform of the tariff, anil a general withdrawal of all special privileges on which these men have fattened. It does not seem to ns that it is a good time to talk about protection and prosperity. For the steel trust is protected. and yet it has done much by its methods to delay the return of

prosperity.

For our part, we regard the situation as serious. The people will have to deal with it in some way, and at an early day, and this without regard to who is elected President. The problem is one involving the prevention of the concentration of power in the hands of a half dozen men by which they are able to control the transportation business of the country—a business on which the prosperity of every one depends. We must find some way to check this consolidation of manufacturing interests in a few hands, if we wish to give the laboring men a chance for employment. These latter may well consider whether it is to their interest to strengthen the railroad monopoly and the industrial trust, whether It is to their interest to favor a continuance of those high duties under which the trusts have been built up. The situation is full of peril. It is time that the eyes of the people were opened to the danger which threatens them.—Indian-

UNEARTHING A SCOUNDREL It turns out that the man who has caused intimidating letters to be put In the hands of employes of many largo shops la one M. M. Mulhall. He has worked under the name of the ‘'Workliignu n's Protective Assocla tlon," which is the name he signed tc all of his ‘'scare'' letters. On being run to earth he said he was working under the instructions of the Republican national committee. It appears also that he has been on close terms with the Republican state committee and the Republican county committee at Indianapolis. From other evidence It Is also clear that he is a tool of VanCleave of the National Manufacturers' Association. Mulhall’s headquarters in Indianapolis adjoined the office of the "Employers’ Association,” which provides "strike breakers,” that is. men to take the places of striking workmen. Chairman Ruckelshaus of the Republican county committee at Indianapolis, speaking of Mulhall and his work, said: “I unders’and he represents the Republican national committee and that he has his own line of work to do. The first I heard of him was when Fred Sims, acting chairman of the state committee, told me about him. 1 understand that Mulhall has been doing some very ctTectlve work.” “Very effective work” along the coercive line seemed to please the Republican managers, but it did not please the labor organizations and other fair-minded citizens. The Indianapolis labor organizations held a meeting and denounced Mulhall and his nefarious work and ordered .10,000 circulars printed for distribution among the workingmen of the city, showing him up. The unearthing of Mulhall and his scheme will turn thousands of votes from the Republican party, for which he was working.

A DELIBERATE UNTRUTH. Roosevelt. Taft, Hughes and others ha.e said that the Democratic party has done nothing against the trusts. This statement is not true. The Democratic party has done practically all that has been done against the trusts. Roosevelt has talked about the trusts, but he has not only done nothing to suppress the old ones, hut has allowed hundreds of new ones to be formed during his administration. On the other hand the Democratic party wherever it has been in control, has passed and enforced laws to curb thess commercial pirates. The Democrats have had no control of the national goYarnment for twelve years, but in every state where they have been In power the trusts have been fored to obey the laws made to stop their aggressions. Roosevelt, Taft, Hughes and the rest know that this is so. They purposely and deliberately misstate the truth. THE SECRET CONTRIBUTIONS OF

1904.

(From the Commoner.) Prior to election day In 1904 Demo crats learned that representatives of the special interests were providing the Republican party with campaign funds. Mr. Roosevelt hotly denied the accusation, denouncing the Democrat who made it as a liar. Later it developed that E. H. Harriman had collected $2iiu.uu0. This money came from Standard Oil officials and others, the detailed contributions

being as follows: Edward H. Harriman $ 10,000 H. McK. Twombly (representing Vanderbilts) 25,000 Chauncey M. Depew, personal 25,000 James Hazen Hyde 25,000 Equitable Life 25,000 J. Pierpont llorg in George \Y. Perkins (New York . .Life Insurance Co.) 10,000 H. H. Rogers, J. D. Archhold, William Rockefeller (Standard Oil Co.) 30,000 Cornelius N. Bliss, personal... 10,000 James Speyer and banking interests 10,000 "Seven friends” of Senator Depew ($5,000 each) 3.1,000 Sent to Mr. Harriman In smaller donations 20,000

Total $260,000

Does anyone believe that Mr. Roosevelt would have dared tell the people, prior to election day, that these men had contributed $260,000 to his campaign fund? But Mr. Roosevelt insists that the people must trust the Republican managers and that the source of the Republican party’s campaign fund will not be revealed until after the election. And Mr. Taft—Mr. Roosevelt's candidate for the presidency—echoes this Roosevelt sentiment” ROOSEVELT AND HEARST. Two years ago President Roosevelt —who is now working hand-in-hand with Hearst for Taft—sent Secretary Root to New York to deliver his opinions of Hearst, in a speech at Utica. Listen to what Mr. Root, declaring that he spoke for the president, upon that occasion, had to say about Mr. Hearst: “I say to you with his [Roosevelt’s] authority, he regards Mr. Hearst as wholly unfit to be governor, as an Insincere, seif seeking demagogue, who Is trying to deceive the workingmen of New York by false statements and false promises. “Listen to what President Roosevelt himself has said of Mr. Hearst and his kind. In President Roosevelt’s first message to congress, speaking of the assassin of McKinley, spoke of him as Inflamed by the reckless utterances of those who on the stump, in public press, appeal to the dark, evil spirits of malice, greed, envy, and sullen hatred The wind is sown by men who preach such doctrine, and they cannot escape their share of the responsibility for the whirlwind that is reaped. This applies alike Vto the deliberate demagogue, to the exploiter of sensationalism. to the crude, foolish visionary who, for whatever reason, apologizes for crime or excites aimless discontent. “I say by the president’s authority, in penning these words with the horror of President McKinley’s murder fresh before him, he had Hearst specifically in his mini). And I say, by his authority, that w-hat he thought of Mr Hearst then, he thinks of Mr. Hearst now.” - And the question now is. what, aside from Hearst's support of Taft, has Hearst done to win the president’s approbation ? Who are the Republican candidates, anyhow? Is Hanly or Watson the candidate for governor? Is Roosevelt or Taft running for president? As a matter of fact it seems as if the Republican party Is so badly demoralized that there Is no certainty about Its program. It doesn’t "know where It Is going, but it la on the way.”

WILL PROSECUTE FOR COERCION OF EMPLOYE^

Chairman Jackson Issues Strong Statement Calling Attention to the Law. Reports of attempted .Intimidation of employes having been brought to his attention. Chairman Jackson of the Democratic s ate committee, at once announced his purpose to resort to the criminal laws to stop such cowardly practices. In a published statement he said: “Special Information has come to me that certain corporations and other employers of labor, whose names are In my possession, are attempting to coerce and intimidate their employes Into giving support to the Republican party, contrary to their political beliefs An especially offensive circular letter, signed Workingmen’s Protective Association,’ is being delivered to employes in several Indianapolis shops. This letter may not be a fraudulent device of the Republican state committee, but its distribution with the knowledge and consent of employers is sufficient to make them parties to the offense. "The statutes against coercion and intimidation are broad enough to cover. and do cover, acts of the kind which the concerns whose names are in my possession have either done or permitted to he done in their establishments in the inteerst of the candidates on the Republican ticket. “It may as well lie understood now as at any time that neither the purchasing and law-abiding public nor the Democratic party will submit to the perpetration of these outrages on independent citizenstiip. A fund of $5,000 lias been set aside by the Democratic national committee to prosecute all persons who violate the coercion laws. The Democratic state committee has reserved a fund for the same purpose. Besides. 1 will pay $21 to each person who furnishes to the Democratic state committee evidence which will contribute to the conviction of any person, firm or corporation guilty of the cowardly and contemptible crime of debauching or attempting to debauch, coerce or intimidate employes. "Not only will the specific statutes against intimidation and coercion he Invoked, hut every other honorable nuans available will be used to step the partisan and disreputable practice to which attention Is called It Is time that Republican corportions, firms and persons employing labor should he taught that the impudent coercion or attempted coercion of their employes will not again be tolerated, and that such a practice will prove to be disastrous to those who undertake it. Public sentiment will no longer endure this peculiarly vicious offense against American citizenship. "The purchasing public will demand to be, and will be. informed as to the Identity of the firms, persons and cor porations who engage in this shortsighted and partisan business, and will from the facts, make up thetr minds as to who are and who are not w*orthy of the patronage of fair-minded persons’’

HANLY'S RELATIONS WITH PINKERTON DETECTIVES.

Now that Governor Hanly is abroad lu the state declaring that he is not a “cheap man” and that he would have refused to take the governorship at $5,000 a year, it is recalled that in addition to having the legislature allow him $9,600 a year for salary and house rent, he persuaded it to put $40,000 a year into his hands for "contin-' gent" and "emergency" exiienses. It may be interesting to the taxpayers to know the way in which some of this fund has been used. A few items taken from the records in the state

and a plain, everyday man and Democrat like Claude Matthews merits the thoughtful consideration of taxpayers. Not only Matthews, but Gray, Hovey, Porter, Hendricks and others were content with a $1,000 salary and other moderate appropriations for the governor’s office. But not so Hanly. He wants it understood that he is a highpriced man. In a speech at Crawfordsville on October 5th he said: "I told you when I was a candidato that if the salary was to be kept at $5,000 that I did not want the office. I told you that I was not a $5,000 man I have tried to make good and I can truthfully say that I have saved the state hundreds of thousands of dollars” The governor does not give the figures showing how or where he has “saved the state hundreds of thousands of dollars''—and he can not do so—hut the figures showing the cost of the governor’s office under him and under Matthews are at hand. The figures given below are the appropriations for the governor’s office during the terms of Hanly and Matthews. For the Hanly appropriations see Acts 1905, p. 502, and Acts 1907, p. 671. For the Matthews appropriations see Acts 1893, p. 361, and 1895, p, 304. And here is the result: Cost under Hanly (4 years).. .$227,900 Cost under Matthews (4 yrs.). 49,280
