The Journal has for sale, at a great barRain, one of Its two Hoc presses, which have been in use for a number of years In printing the Journal. It Is now being replaced by a large modern, double-supplement Hoe- press of a capacity commensurate with the growing needs of the paper. The press that Is for sale can be bought at a very reasonable figure and is ready for shipment at once.. It is in excellent condition and will give years of good service to some newspaper desiring to use a perfecting press. The purchase price will include a Jenney motor, direct connected, with which it has been run for the past three years. This is a great improvement over the old system of running a press by belts and is a good saver of power. Correspondence Is invited on this subject from any Interested publishers. Notice to Tourists. Subrcrlbera leaving the city for a period during the summer can have the Dally and Sunday Journal mailed to any address in the United States or Canada without extra charge. The address will be changed aa often as desired. Both telephones 228. , Ohio Democracy to William Jennings Bryan: "Our candidate you cannot be again." ' Look out for a wave of hot air from Nebraska wren Mr. Bryan hears of the action of the Ohio Democratic convention. In 1&X Democratic conventions turned Grover Cleveland's picture to the wall. Ip 1901 they trample on that of William Jennings Bryan. Publicity Is a great reformer of abuses. There has been a marked decrease in the number of insanity inquests In this community lately. . An added feature of Infamy in the insanity Inquest cases is the pooling of the fees for a pro rata division among the operators. Such a division of spoils Is according to highwaymen's ethics. The Bryan banner which was trampled ander foot at the Ohio Democratic convention is said to have been the very one which the Ohio delegation carried to the Kansas City convention last year. Turkey has paid that debt she has been owing the United States so long, but please don't mention it. The Sultan is a friend of ours, and he does not care to have the European powers know that he ever pays a debt The public will fully concur with the grand Jury that the insanity inquest law "is defective in some ways," and one of It worst defects is that under a vicious fee system it practically encourages railroading sane persons to hospitals for insane. There is every reason to fear that the protracted hot weather has materially injured the corn in Kansas. Nebraska. Iowa and Missouri. Should the heat and lack of rain continue much longer the crop In Indiana and adjoining States will suffer to an extent that can scarcely be estimated. "Bryan Speaker Denied Attention and Picture of the Nebraskan Is Thrown Down" is one of the headlines of the Democratic Chicago Chronicle over the proceedings of the Ohio Democratic convention. That is. Mr. Bryan's picture was trampled under foot in a convention which shouted for him u year ago. The court officers in Delaware county who are promptly pushing the trials of the young men charged with a nameless outrage are taking the right way to impress upon other toughs the enormity of the crime against defenseless women. The prompt trial of such criminals is the most effective way to deter those who would commit such offenses. Judge Carter's decision on the motion to mandate the county treasurer to allow Inflection of the books of his office seems to be based on the principle that public records are public property and may be examined by any citizen, subject to such rules and regulations as an official may make arpMcable to the public at large, and not discriminating against any individual. About a dozen names are now on the list of candidates for councUmen at large to be considered by the Republican primaries. All of these names have been put on by petition of friends; only one or two of them desire the nominations, but have been persuaded to go before the primaries by Republicans who are anxious to secure a good ticket. More names can be added before Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, but from the names already presented a ticket can be selected that would be worthy of the support of all men who desire a better Council than the city has had for some time. One of the instructive incidents In the Imocratic convention of Ohiv was Its

treatment of ex-Attorney General Monnett. As a Republican he was given the two elections, which is the custom of the party in that State. He began suits against several combinations, particularly the Standard Oil Company, which were not successful. Two years ago he demanded of the Republicans a third nomination, which was not given him. He then posed as a martyr of the trusts. Last year he got into the Bryan band wagon and lifted up his voice against the Republieans..as the party of tru?ts. Early in the canvass he announced himself a candidate for the nomination for attorney general as the foe of trusts. He was rejected for a Democrat living In th same part of the State, whom Monnett's friends had denounced as an attorney of the Standard Oil Company, receiving about one-fourth of the vote of the convention. The Ohio Den.ocrats have no use for such fresh converts.

Tim repudiation of dhyax. The repudiation of Mr. Bryan by the Ohio Democratic convention is a significant political sign. The repudiation was as conspicuous as it was complete. There was nothing Indirect or roundabout, in it, no mincing of phrases or action. The resolutions did not mention Bryan or silver, the convention rejected a resolution reaffirming the Kansas City platform by a vote of 950 to 6, refused to allow Mr. Bryan's portrait to be carried to the stage, and the delegates finally trampled It under foot on the floor where it was thrown. This in the Democratic convention of a State which a year ago reaffirmed the Chicago platform of Ptfti, instructed its delegates to vote for the nomination of Bryan and in the election gave him nearly 473.000 votes. So sudden a change of front and so emphatic a repudiation of a recent leader has no parallel In American politics. As the action of the Ohio convention will probably be followed by all the Democratic conventions to meet this year it may be construed as the beginning of a popular wave which will sweep Mr. Bryan into political oblivion. It means that even the Democratic party knows when it has had enough of false issues and blind leaders. It means that the party Is recovering from its debauch of Populism and Bryanlsm. and that in the next campaign its brains will be at the front Instead of at the rear. The complete history of the rise and fall of Bryan will include that also of Grover Cleveland, who is in every respect his political opposite. One represented the best elements and tendencies of the Democratic party as distinctly as the other did its worst. Never since the civil war has the party appeared as well or deserved as well as it did during Mr. Cleveland's two administrations, and this In spite of some grievous mistakes on his part. He stood as Impregnable as the rock of Gibraltar against the waves of repudiation and showed a willingness to sacrifice his popularity with hist party rather than betray the natlonar honor and credit. For this the party pulled him down and exalted Bryan in his place. The national convention that nominated Bryan the first time hissed the name of Cleveland and received with a yell of derision a resolution indorsing his administration. The exaltation of Bryan would not have been complete without the humiliation of Cleveland. The national convention of 1:X0 emphasized the folly of by reaffirming the platform and renominating the candidate of that year. A second defeat was followed by indications that the party knew when it had had enough of that kind of leadership, and now the action of the Ohio convention sounds the keynote of a general repudiation of Bryan. No other passage in our political history marks so distinctly the sudden rise and equally sudden fall of an arrant demagogue. A IS ELKS S r BOTEST. Judge Stotsenburg, of New Albany, whose son, the gallant colonel of the First Colorado Regiment, was killed in Luzon, has an interview in the last issue of the Sentinel, in which he protests against making anti-imperialism a leading issue, as that paper is now doing. Because of some expression in the interview, the Sentinel petulantly remarks that Judge Stotsenburg himself is half imperialist. There Is reason to believe that if the Sentinel could hear the expressions of a large number of Democrats, it would find many who believe that there is nothing in imperialism as an issue. Last year when the situation in the Philippines was unfavorable, a desperate effort was made by Mr. Bryan and his supporters to make anti-Imperialism an issue. Those calling themselves antiimperlallsts, among whom were a number of able men, held a convention here, or, rather, a liberty congress, to promote Mr. Bryan's candidacy as an anti-Imperialist, but it did not have any weight with the country at large. Men who had fought Mr. Bryan as gold advocates in lSf6 declared the issue of Imperialism to be more important and took the stump for him In 1?00. Toward the last, anti-Imperialism was made the leading issue. Mr. Bryan himself ignoring other planks of his platform to assail the policy of the administration in the Philippines. As a matter of party policy, the Journal would encourage the Sentinel to make antlimperlallsm the o ershadowing issue In the next election, because it believes that fhe Intelligent people of this country can never be made to see that it is not far better for the Filipinos to be given such a government as Governor Taft Is establishing in the islands than to be left to themselves and to anarchy worse than the despotism of Spain. As far as it can be safely done, the natives will manage local governments. They will be given the justice of the Americr.r system of laws and protection from outrage in the name of authority. American school teachers will carry education to the ignorant masses, which means civilization. The mass of the American people believe that any party that may be In power in the United States will give the islands a far better government than they could obtain under any other system. Americans will not share the Sentinel's noisy fears regarding the overthrow of the Constitution and the undermining of American institutions. In its attack upon Judge Stotsenburg the Sentinel unwisely speaks of Appomattox. Unwisely, because, for three years, that paper did all In Its power to prevent the result at Appomattox. Lincoln was the tyrant and usurper who had already destroyed the Constitution, robbed the States of their liberties and was carrying on a cruel and indefensible war. If the Sentinel will open Its files for the years lSt"2, 1SC3 and 18C4 it will find that, in its Judgment, free government had been destroyed in the United States and a republic had become an. empire under Abraham Lincoln, "the

dictator." Perhaps If it would read its fears and predictions of those days, Its present anxiety regarding American liberty and the Constitution would be allayed and it would not go on repeating the direful predictions of the period when patriotic men were fighting to save the Union. That is a curious request which the Italian consul at Chicago makes of the Governor of Indiana through the State Department at Washington' to aid the consul In obtaining access to and an interview with certain Italians who were injured in a railroad wreck a few weeks ago and who are now under treatment in the Wabash Railroad hospital at Peru. The consul says his countrymen need aid and advice and ennnot speak English, but that the local railroad authorities refuse to let him have any communication with them. It may be that higher officials will reverse this action as a matter of courtesy, but there can be no question of right in the case. The injured Italians are aliens, having been in the United States only a short time, and it is doubtful if they would have a legal claim for damages against the railroad company, It may be that the railroad authorities declined to let the consul communicate with the injured Italians lest he should Interfere in the settlement of claims now in process of adjustment. The company would have no right to keep the Italians in enforced confinement, but, on the other hand, it has a right to close the doors of its hospital against the consul if it wishes to.

The Journal can see that good results can come through the present primary law, even if voting booths are not used. If the voter has a list of twenty names on a printed ballot from which to select six candidates for councllmen at large, he can mark such names in the voting place when opportunity is afforded him to elo so as well outside as Inside a booth. The voting places should be kept clear of all except the precinct officers, and a desk or table should be provided for the marking of ballots. As for bribery, no man will undertake to bribe voters at primaries all over the city. The difficulty in the past has been that men outside of the precinct have voted and repeated. This can be prevented if the precinct officers do their duty. The primary law is not what the Journal would have had, but it the mass of Republican voters will go to the primaries and vote a ticket will be fairly nominated. The primary election law is infinitely btter than no law. It provides that none but members of a party residing in the precinct shall vote. The polls will be open from 11 o'clock a. m. to 8 p. m. At the voting place but one voter at a time will be admitted to the room which the primary officers occupy. In that room will be the ballots, pencils and table on which to mark the names of the men whom the voter desires for candidates. The voter marks his ballot, folds it and sees it put into the ballot box. Except the feature of the secret booth, the arrangements are the same as for a general election. There Is every opportunity to challenge. Under such conditions it seems to be the duty of every Republican who desires better methods to attend the primaries. The objection to sentences for life for murderers is emphasized in the case of the two Younger brothers, who have been pardoned in Minnesota. The gang was organized to rob banks and trains, and to murder when necessary. Nine murders, stand charged to the gang, and the wrecking of a triin. They were such desperadoes that they robbed the Kansas City Fair Association of $10,COO in the presence of 10,0) people. When finally secured In Minnesota they pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to State prison for life. One of them died, and now the other two are given their liberty. If official sympathy can be aroused in the case of the Younger brothers there Is no murderer who may not hope to receive it. The men were convicted in 1S7G. The death of a man who was a member of Congress three terms and who was the chairman of one of the most important committees in the House in the United States Soldiers' Home Is an Incident which should cause many ambitious young men to pause for deliberation. This man had a fair law practice when he went to Congress, but he could not recover it on his return. Soon ill health came, with poverty, which made it necessary for him to go to the Home. In Indiana there are scores of young men in both parties who are getting a hold slowly, but who are impatient to go to Congress, risking future prospects to seize positions in which they would not make a mark, but holding them long enough to get out of any business they were in. The resignation of C. F. R. Wappenhans. local director of the Indiana section ofthe Weather Bureau, will deprive the service of one of its oldest and most Intelligent and faithful employes. Mr. Wappenhans's long residence In Indianapolis, more than twenty-five years, and his prominent connection with the local weather service have made him almost as well known in the community as "Old Probabilities" once was, and it is but fair to say that the community has learned to have very high respect for him. He has earned the retired pension he will receive and the vacation which it is hoped he may enjoy. EROM HITHER AND YON. , No Escape Brooklyn Life.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., July ll.-The best legal talent possible to secure In Muncle in an attempt to save the second of the young men, Charles Smith, being prosecuted for the alleged criminal assault on Aletha Puckett, by half a dozen young men a few weeks ago, failed to save the defendant from the verdict accorded to William Thorp yesterday. The Jury in the Smith case was charged at 6 o'clock and in fifteen minutes there was a verdict of guilty, and the young man must serve the statutory sentence of one to-twenty-one years in prison. When the verdict had been given, the defendant arose and desired to talk to the jurors, but was not permitted. He afterward said he wanted to "express his opinion of them for convicting an innocent man." The third of the gang, the only one still to be tried here, Ralph Cook, will be tried tomorrow. He .is charged with assaulting both Miss Puckett and Miss Georgie Davis, as were the others, and he will be prosecuted on the Davis case. "Will Invoke the Haheu Corpus.

Jones, of Huntertown, who preached the Cothrell funeral sermon, created a sensation by charging the authorities with falling to prosecute Dunn for former offenses of kindred nature and thereby paving the way for this. It transpires that Dunn's brother is the president of a Southern railroad and lives in New Orleans. DROWNS IN WHITE RIVER. Methodist EvanKclUt, While In BnthIng vflth Ills) Sons.

Martin, of Bluffton. died this morning at the Marion branch of the National Soldiers' Home. He had been in the hospital there for the last two months, and there had been an apparent improvement for a while. He had grown rapidly worse within the last few days, and the end came this forenoon.

He was at one time, previous to his congressional career, reporter of the Supreme Court of Indiana. He was un attorney of creU ability, but his health had broken tor some years, and he had been unable to work at his profession.

Major Steele, he was admitted to the Marion Soldiers' Home hospital for treatment. Since he was placed there everything that could be done for him has been done, but his spark of life was too feeble to be fanned again Into llamc.

Ex-Secretnry Day on America Part In International Affairs. PUT-IN BAY, O., July ll.-The Hon. William R. Day, former secretary of state, was the principal speaker at the annual meeting of the Ohio Bar Association here to-day. His subject was "Our Place in the International Family," and he said in part: "The United States is now regarded as a factor and an important one in the solution of the world's problems In which she Is interested. Foreign governments which have long neglected claims arising from mistreatment of our citizens no longer permit disrespectful conduct towards them and are not unmindful of their rights. The world has come to know that to be an American citizen in every quarter of the globe implies the protection of a nation alive to the interests of its citizens, however distant, however humble. This by no means indicates that we have become or are likely to be a 'world power in the sense that we shall adopt the policy of promoting our own aggrandizement at the expense of weak and defenseless people. It does mean th maintenance of our rights abroad wherever they may be assailed. "That our relations to the outside world will be extended and opportunity for trade and commerce greatly advanced cannot be doubted. We shall have an Isthmian canal. This new touch with the affairs ot the world brings new opportunities and involves new responsibilities. Our widening horizon will give us clearer, as well as broader visions. We must prepare to acquit ourselves in these new relations in a manner creditable to our traditions. We must never lose sight of the fundamental principles of our government. This obligation is all the more binding now that a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States has made the government and disposition of the islands practically one of policy to be determined by the American people."

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT. Ind., July 11. It was a royal greeting that Frankfort and Clinton county gave to Company I, in a formal reception tendered the returning Philippine soldiers to-day. The city was lavishly decorated with patriotic colors, a triumphal arch was erected in the public square, and thousands of people from Clinton and adJoining counties were present to shcut the praises of the gallant yours men who have been doing valiant service for their country In the islands of the sea. It was the Intention to hold the reception on the arrival home of Company I, last Frida-, but. the plans were interfered with by the delay of their commander, Capt. D. F. Allen, who. found it impossible to dls- ' pose of his governmental duties and reach home until yesterday morning. The programme of the day consisted of a parade, dinner and speech-making. The parade, led by Captain Allen and Company. L and participated In by the G. A. K.. Spanish-American War Veterans, the BoyV Loyal League and the secret societies of the city, with four bands, moved promptly at 11 o'clock and paraded the principal streets of the city.

About two hundred men were recruited at this place. Capt. J. L. Anderson, another Frankfort man, commanded Company C. of the Forty-fourth Volunteers, and won fame as a lighter. TREACHEROUS FOES. Captain Allen, In responding to the address of welcome, paid a glowing tribute to his men, both as fighters and for obedience to army di-clpllne. One of the striking parts of Captain Allen's speech was directed to the civil war veterans. He said, in part: "I want to speak for a moment of the war of the rebellion, and to the men who fought from 1SC1 to 1865. As one of them. I want to say to you that you do not understand the situation that confronted us. I thought and you thought that when we would get over there we could stretch a bklrml&h line across the island and comb those miserable wretches into the sea You- can't comb anything over there. You can't comb those fellows because you can t. catch them. They are a miserable lot. of murderers and assassins. They are men who delight to murder, and they will not stand up and fight, either. The 'proposition was entirely different from what- yo.i or I wpuld expect. Here would be a pitfall fixed for us and covered over so ingeniously that a man couldn't discover it, and at the bottom of it would be placed sharpened pieces of bamboo, sharp as pieces of steel, and Into them you would plunge. Traps with poisoned arrows were rigged up by the natives and set hid in the depths of the Jungles. As the troops would march along they would stumble against the trigger and discharge the missile. The bolomen would march in their bare feet, noiseless as cats, and approach unheard. These men were all the time surrounded by such dangers as these. They marched over the wind-swept mountains and through dismal gullies, where the sunlight never pierced. All these things these men' endured without a murmur, and they stand to-day the peer of any company of men who ever marched beneath a rifle's weight." While the company saw the hardest of service, it la a remarkable fact that all but three returned to their homes, theee three dying of fever, and not from wounds. These were George Herman -Walter, Thomas M. Brock and William Albltz. Two were wounded. These were William D. Hoover and Noah E. Wlngate. both shot in the skirmish at Bolaeaboc, on March 15, of last year. Of the entire company, ten were discharged previous to the expiration of the term of enlistment, because of some Injury sustained or disability resulting from disease contracted while in the service. They returned at odd times, most of them coming home during the past few months. Their names are Arch Evans. Dick Bolt. Willard Beachtel, Willlim Moler. Charle Ricker. Charles Stelmbaugh. Everett Patton, all of this county; Charles Ingle and Harry Blazer, of Kokomo, and Roy Petty, of Indianapolis. Among the guests from out of the city were Representative Landis. of Delphi: Attorney General Taylor and Auditor of Stale Hart, of Indianapolis; Judge Howard and John B.
