VOX POPULI NOT vo:, HANLY, WATSON AND THE REPUBLICAN MACH I NI After sitting thirteen day—or ralhei an average of less than an hour a daj for thirteen days—Governor llanly’i unnecessary, costly and partisan spe clal session of the legislature man aged to come to an end. The new ap proprlatlons made for legislation and Institutional expenses amounted tc nearly IhO.OOO. The old appropria tlons which the governor was afraid would lapse—amounting to $8fi9,00b— were re-approprlated. As the six spe clal elections to fill vacancies had cost $20,000, the taxpayers can figure an outlay of $110,000 of money, not count fng the large re appropriations. Aside from the money end of It what was done? A county local op tion hill was passed. The people werr considering whether they should votr for county option or township option Rut that made no difference. Cover nor Hanly and the Republican politicians. who distrusted each olher. alsr distrusted the voters, and so they took the matter out of their hands. It is now admitted that the side pur pose of lhe extra session was to do thi! 1 thing, with the hope that the Repub llean temperance people might he pla rated and the Republican party he hen efltod. Having done it after much tra vail and agony, and having done It ir> such a way as to si riously jeopardize the existing effective n monstrance laws, the Republican politicians, ao cording to all reports, have* again hoisted a bucket of water upon one shoulder and a keg of booze upon the other and have resumed their fraudii lent campaign—appealing for temper anee votes in one* locality and whisky votes In another. In the meantime the Democratic party stands now Just where It has stood since the 20th day of last March It favors local option. If the people want the* kind of local option that the special session of the legislature gave them without awaiting thedr instruc tions—(lie kind that endangers the Moore and Nicholson law's, perhaps de stroys Hi"nt—the result of the ballot-

Ing In November will tell. Vox popull may not always ho Vox Dei. but the Democratic party yields to it when it has been freely expressed. But the voice of Hanly. Watson and the Re publican machine is neither vox populi nor vox Del. The people will speak In their own voice at the appointed time. And now to the Issues of the campaign. the issues which the Republican candidates and managers have dodged and evaded for months. They can no longer hide the rotten record of their party, its faithlessness and greed, its unholy alliances, its excessive taxation, its squandering of the public funds, its sham pretenses of reform, its crooked dealings with discredited interests and its treasonable perversion of tin* government to the special use and behoof of the criminal trusts and monopolies. Let the people resolve to rule and cinch that resolution on November .'ird. TO "FIND OUT ABOUT KERN.” One Kdmundson came all the way from New York to Indiana last week to "find out things about John W. Kern". This man, from the best information that could In* obtained, represented either Hearst or the Republican national committee. As Hearst and the Republican committee are working together, he doubtless represented both, lie may join hands with one diaries W. Miller , political scavenger, of Goshen. From inquiries made by the special envoy of those delectable persons, it seemed to his mission to enlighten the country as to the names of Mr. Kern’s law clients and the general character of his practice. If the envoy •finds out’’ and tells only the truth, Mr. Kern's ability and success as a lawyer, and his high standing both professionally and as a citizen, will be advertised to tin* great advantage of himself and his party. But as neither Hearst nor the Republican national committee are interested In helping either Mr. Kern or the Democratic party, their envoy extraordinary Is probably Jiist an ordinary liar plenlpctootlary.

RCOSEVELT-FORAKER-TAFT-AND STANDARD Oil Having constructed Taft and the of flceholders' machine that nominated him, President Roosevelt is willing U go any length in an effort to help hit candidate. His statement that th» Standard Oil company is unfriendly U Taft shows how far he is willing tc go. But if he expects the people tc follow him liis conceit must be colossal Speaking of the president's utterance on this subject, the Louisville Courier

Journal says:

If tills did not emanate from an of fleer of such an exalted position as the president it would be farce. As It is it Is wcked audacity. The forces back of the Republican Foraker are back of the Republican party tu this cam paigu. The whole Standard OH con Ungent is not for Bryan, but for Taft for president. The steel trust mag nates are not for Bryan, but for Taft The stock gamblers, each and ever) one, are not for Bryan, but for Taft Wall street is bodily in the Taft col umn. Aldrich, Cannon, Jim Sherman Harritnan—they're for Taft. You can not go through the money-lined offices of tariff-protected Industries without finding the atmosphere heavy with Taft sentiment. The whole crowd arc all so zealously and shoutingly for Tafi that they are circulating diligently the tip that if Taft Isn’t elected stocks will go to pieces, business will fall off and there will be another panic as had at the Republican panic of last year—and tliis. Taft is good enough for any oi them. Anything to elect him! The weak-minded child in tin* street knows this. The* syndicates do not want Bryan. Mr. Taft, Mr. Roosevelt, Mr Hitchcock, Mr. Crane, Mr. Jim Slier man—none of these can point out a single stock gambler, malefactor of wealth or Standard OH officer who Ip for Bryan for president. Therefore the president discredits himself by his ef fort to make a case to overcome thi stigma put upon the Republican party by the exposure of Mr. Foraker, sup posing th:it Mr. Foraker is as black as

he Is painted.

“Nor can the president name any Democrat in congress who. hacked b> the ‘sinister interests,’ stood In the way of the reforms he demanded ol the national legislature. The Democratic representatives and senators were the president’s mainstays In the enactment of legislation which he now so vehemently boasts of as the achieve ments of his administration. Does not this refute his own claim that the Democratic party is the property of the Interests which backed Senatot Foraker? For the president is as well aware as are the citizens with fair memories that the opposition to the Roosevelt reforms came from his own party! Right and left, in front and In rear the foes of his program stood, all wearing the Republican label. The combat was with them. They were the forces that stood on guard for the interests. If the president were not so anxious to fight his candidate's fight at whatever cost he would be checked In ills headlong vituperation by an iota of gratitude toward his DemocraUc

assistants.’’

THE MONEY END OF THE EXTRA SESSION.

The calling of the extra session of the legislature made it necessary to hold six special elections to fill vacan cies. The session lasted thirteen days.

The cost was as follows:

Expense of session $30,000 Expense of special elections 20,000 Total I50.00C The appropriations made were a?

follows:

For legislative expenses. ... $ 40.000 Specific re-appropriations .... 869,000 New deficiency appropriations. 47,000 Total appropriations $956,000 In addition to the above matters a bill was passed to legalize a new con-

tract for the completion of the Southeastern hospital for the Insane. Tho contract for the construction ,.r • institution was originally let to E. M. Campfleld for $1,171,798. (’animlnd had done a large amount of work and had drawn considerable money when the contract was taken out of his hands and re-let to Pulse & Porter for $853,909.35. "This sum," to quote from Governor Hanly’s message to the special session, "taking into account ;he work done by Mr. Campfleld and the sum paid him therefor, Is $151,736.11 In excess of Mr. Campfleld's contract.” The governor asked that this $151,736 excess he appropriated, making the total cost of this unfinished Institution to date $1,323,534. The excess, how*ever. was not appropriated at the special session, though the new contract was approved. There are some queer things about the construction of this institution, which an honest legislative inquiry might reveal to the great future benefit of the taxpayers of the

state.

THE WOOING OF ROSYBEL. By KATHARINE K. CROSBY. Copyrighted 190X, by Associated Literary Press.

Farmer John considered him n most ungodly young man and forbade him to [nter the yard, lie also forbade hla daughter, Rosybel, to leave the yard, except on Sundays, when she could go to church under ids eagle eye. It may be that Farmer John's Ideals were rather exacting. Rosybel thought them so anyway. To her there was nothing absolutely wicked about a pipe of tobacco, especially if the pipe were of the rakish type affected by young men who had lieen to college. Dick Melton had been to college. In deed his A. B. was barely a fortnight old. Now he was touring the country after u fashion all Ids own in the search of amusement. He told Ids father that he wanted to see something of life before entering upon that glorious political career which his doting parent saw stretching before Ids eldest born. Now, touring suggests a gay and festive motor car. all red enamel and staring brass work, but Dick bad eschewed such vanities as all too commonplace. He was touring in a hay-

rack.

Besides Dick there was In the hayrack u variety of commodities—a pile of hoards of assorted sizes, for instance; a couple of canvas contraptions which wlion you gave them a chance evolved into a cot l»*d and a lounging chair; a nickel p aled pall, which could lie transformed by some miracle into a complete chafing dish outfit: a small tatde and. most important of all. a camp organ of the s<a-t carried nliout by wandering evangelists. When FnriiST .lohn issued ids edict that the young man who had dropped Into church from nowhere at all and walked home from the meeting with his daughter Rosyliel should not enter his premises on pain of death—via bulldog Towser Dick was rather pleased than otherwise. Ills vacation hade fair to furnish more entertainment than he had anticipated. Moreover, lie was really very much taken with Rosybel, who was not only the prettiest girl whom he had met with in ids travels, but was also blessed with a sense of humor. This is an adorable combination, bard t<> resist. Tlie afore mentioned edict was pronounced on Sunday evening, when Dick -igaln presented himself to see Rosybel home from meeting. On Monday morning the hayrack drove Into the field which was bordered In part by the neat white palings of Farmer John’s homestead fence. The field did not belong to Fanner Joint. Quite near the fence, In the shade of a big elm tree, the young man proceeded to assemble the boards which he had taken from the hayrack. It happened that Rosybel's garden had run sadly to weeds over Sunday, and she was obliged to spend considerable time out there on Monday morning In consequence. As the garden was between the house and that particular part of the fence where the elm tree stood, she could not help seeing what the young man was about. For one thing, he was smoking, except at times when he removed the pipe ami sang u bacchanalian ditty about a stein on n table, which Rosybel was glad her father did not hear, for lie always voted no

license.

For another thing, the young man was building a house, which In her part of the country Is not often gone about so casually. There was, however. neither pounding of nails nor noise of saw. The birds sang undisturbed In the branches of the elm tree, and the hang bird in her nest watched him without alarm. When Farmer John came In from the Helds at noon he snorted at the sight of his new neighbor. By this time the house was nearly done. Dick was hanging the front door, and there remained only the piazza steps to be

put In place.

When Farmer John came in from the fields at night the camp organ was bard at work on the piazza. Later many couples came strolling by, on the lookout to see Rosie's new fellow. They came to see and remained to dance. The grass had liecni clipped short, and ttie strains from the organ Invited to "Portland Fancy,” ‘‘Lady of the Luke" and kindred measures. When they had gone, Rosybel stole down to tlie fence from the place among the shadows where she had been watching the scene. Dick got to the fence first, and there was neither pipe nor song In his lips. By tlie shine of ills eyes you might have guessed that there was a whole cycle of songs in Ids heart, all having for chorus the refrain, "Rosybel, daughter of John!’’ It was not long, however, Itefore they were Interrupted by the voice of tills same John calling loudly for Rosie. It now became the favorite pastime for lovers, young and old, married and courting, to go down to the Old Mill road to watch the wooing of Rosybel. Usually there were music and dancing, but once they had n grand candy pull after the chafing dish had been unilmbered and brought Into action. On this occasion Rosybel <*111116 down I from tier place among the shadows 1 and “pulled’’ with Dick over the fence. , That was the gayest evening of them all, for Farmer John was attending a ’ grange meeting over the inouutnin and no sound of revelry could reach him. • "This has beeu going on for a week,

and tomorrow Is Sunday,” said the young man when the rest had gone and his heart was singing songs against the white paling fence. “Tomorrow is Sunday, and I should like to walk home from church with you, Rosybel.” "But you can’t,” provoked Roeybel, “because dad w ill lie there.” “And three's a crowd, I’ve noticed. Do you happen to know, belovedest, what is wrong about your little Dick?” "Nothing, of course, only dad thinks you are a loafer and don’t know how to work.” “We’ll show dad his little mistake. Borne one said he was short handed for the haying next week. Is that so?” "Yes. He can hardly get help, but what’’— The sound of approaching wheels threatened Farmer John's arrival, and her question was not finished Early Monday morning a stranger applied to Farmer John for work. H* wore heavy, silver rimmed spectacles, and his hair was slicked down over his forehead In a bang. His clothes were all that a farm hand's should be, from tom straw hat to sullied shoes. Fanner John was nearsighted and never Interested In matters of person allty. He chuckled afterward over the good bargain he had made, for In addition to the horse and hayrack which the man offered along with his services he would furnish his own meals. He realized that this was unusual, the stranger said, but lie had Indigestion and could only eat his own cooking. Fanner John was delighted, and Rosybel, listening around the corner, did not know whether to laugh or be glad at her lover's sense of honor which prevented his eating forbidden salt. Every evening after that they met under the elm tree, and Dick showed her the new callous spots which the day had brought forth, the while he boasted of his prowess In the field. Rosyliel listened eagerly and let her eyes tell him what slip thought of him, which whs very pleasant for Dick and made life altogether worth living. By Saturday the hay was well in except from a choice patch of clover which the farmer had been obliged to leave out overnight. It was all seasoned and cocked and ready for the fork. The weather had been fine all the week, and when the men turned Into their beds at an early hour there w as still no threat of change. In tlie middle of the night, however, Dick was wakened by a low rumble of thunder. The young man's first thought was of those haycocks over In the west mowing; bis next was to get there before the rain. Stopping only for trousers and shoes, he rushed out to whore his horse was picketed. The moon gave light enough between gathering clouds for him to see his way to the field, where he put In a half hour of such work ns he had never known, even In football season. The hayrack was loaded and undet way for the barn liefore the rain struck. Farmer John met him in the farmyard with a lantern ns he drove up In a hurry and stared at him In astonishment. “Open that barn door, you loafer!” Dick yelled in his excitement, quite forgetting that he was addressing the father of Rosybel. Farmer John was not used to being called a loafer, but when he came to understand the situation he rather liked it. When the hay was safely housed and the barn door padlocked tie Invited the young man Into the house to dry off. There he bustled about and built a fire in the kitchen stove, and while Dick was toasting his feet in the oven the old man surveyed him thoughtfully. Presently he Inquired mildly: “What do you do for a living, young fellow V*’ "Going into politics,” Dick responded modestly. “Grange or capital?” demanded Farmer John. It was a crucial question. “I'll stand for the farmers every time,” Dick assured him, and that set tied It. The two were earnestly dis cussing the ownership of wild lands when the sitting room door opened and Rosybel appeared. Neither saw her, and presently the conversation took a more personal trend. “Do I understand,” asked Farmer John, “that you’re talking of getting Rosybel to finish your education for ye?” “With your consent, yes,” replied Dick pollvely. “She can teach ye a lot. Women folks mostly can. Well, seeing as you're the makings of a farmer if poll tics fall, she can have the job If she wants it.” A little gasp from the girl brought them both to their feet. Dick's Interest In the farm versus capital was for the moment In abeyance as he crossed quickly to her side. "When does school open, Rosybel?” he demanded tenderly. Farmer John picked up a caudle and stumped toward the I tack hall door. "Usually begins 'bout September round these parts,” he grumbled as he went out. He foresaw that on the next day, which was Sunday, he would walk home from church alone. “But It’s you who will ho the teacher,” corrected Rosybel some time later, and Dick, after the way of men, was not at too many pains to set her right.
