Columbia University, New York, has taken the lead among the large colleges of the country in abolishing football.

A special from Washington D. C., states that Congressman Crumpacker perdicts that Governor Hanley, of Indiana, will be the republican nominee for president in 1908.

Col. W. W. Huffman of Ander. son, a prominent republican politician, has been indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of soliciting campaign contributions from postoffice employes, and will have to face the charge in the United States Court.

The efforts to saddle the loss of county funds deposited in the McCoy sheepskin bank on to the public seems about to bear fruit once more. This time it is the creditors of the bank who will stand the brunt of the loss, however, if the proposed compromise goes through, rather than the people of the whole county.

It is said that the life insurance agents over the country are finding business mighty dull these days. And no wonder. The exposures made by the insurance investigation still going on is enough to make people want to “carry their own insurance’’ and keep their money in their pockets. But this plan will be mighty tough on the republican campaign fund of the future.

Three football players are dead from last Saturday’s games—one at Sedalia, Mo.; one at Marshall, Ind., and one at Union College, New York. The game has become so strenuous —not more so than usual, but more publicity has been given to the casualties — that the Indianapolis News devotes a whole column of editorial criticism to the game, although every other Hue of the criticism is an apology for having written the previous one.

Sunday’s Chicago Tribune gave a partial list of the football accidents for this season —the few weeks devoted to the “sport”—and the list included nineteen killed and one hundred and thirty-five badly injured. Two players have died since the Tribune’s list was published, and the list of injured, which the Tribune says is far from complete, it is noticed, does not contain either of the Shortridge players so badly injured at Rensselaer early in the season, one of them so badly that it was a miracle that he ever survived. The Tribune further says: “The record is not yet complete. A few games will be played next Thursday and they will swell the list of maimed. And, in addition to the certainty of more accidents, can be added the logical development of serious injuries that always follow a football season as the epidemic of lockjaw reaps its harvest after the youth killing celebration of the Fourth of July. “Of those slaughtered to make a touchdown eleven were high school players and ten of the killed were immature boys of 17 and under. Three hardened, seasoned and presumably physically fit college men were slain. The others were amateurs. “Body blows, producing internal injuries, were responsible for four deaths, concussion of the brain < lanned six victims, injuries to th -pine resulted fatally in three oas \ blood poisoning carried off

two gridiron warriors, and other injuries caused four deaths. “The list given here includes details of 19 deaths and 136 injuries, but of course is in no respect complete. It is taken from records kept by “The Tribune” and supplemented by reports of casualties published in various sections of the country. “The injured list merely reflects the aggregate of miscellaneous accidents. A full list of players who were injured at some time during the season would sum up close to 1,000, aud then would include only the injuries of a really serious character, In hundreds of cases those injured bSVe been patched up so as to be able to play on with their teams, bnt with internal effects that, judging from the statistics of the past, will impair seriously their subsequent physical condition.”

CORRUPTION IS PROVED

Vast Sums Paid to Republican Campaign Fund. WEALTH MENACES THE REPUBLIC Boodle and the Corporation* Control the Corrupt Old I’arty—Era of Graft and Scandal* the Result of Enorinou* Expenditure* For Political Power. When the Democrats claimed in 1896 and succeeding campaigns that an enormous corruption fund was raised from the railroads, banks, trust companies, insurance corporations and other sources it was Indignantly denied by the Ilepublicans. Since those campaigns the evidence has been leaking out that those charges were true and the amount not exaggerated. Enough money was subscribed to buy every voter that was willing to sell his vote In the doubtful states, and the result In 1896 showed that of the votes so bought about 20,000 divided between the close states decided the election. The latest evidence on the providers of that corruption fund has been given by Mr. Perkins, partner of J. P. Morgan and also connected with the New York Life Insurance company, before the committee of the New York legislature now Investigating .the life Insurance companies In that state. He testified that the New York Life Insurance company paid $50,000 last fall to the Republican campaign fund and that greater sums were paid in 1896 and 1900. These enormous contributions from one corporation Indicate the vast amount of money used to corrupt the voters of the United States, for there is no doubt the other Insurance companies paid similar amounts and the railroads and trusts even more. The year 1896 was the beginning of the era of graft and corruption that have since spread like a prairie fire from one end of the country to the other and that have resulted in the scandals that have been exposed of the Republican management of our national affairs and those stages where that party is in the ascendency. Will the honest voters allow such a system to continue? If they do, It is not too much to say that the republic will be undermined and a Wall street oligarchy of wealth will sodn rule instead of the people. We are not very far from that today. We bear of visits of Wall street magnates to the president, and we see their partners appointed to positions where they can do vast service to their associates, which from the nature of things must be to the detriment of the people. President Roosevelt must have known of the large contributions from tlie Wall street interests to his campaign fund. Mr. Bliss, the treasurer of tb<- Republican national committee, received the money, and Mr. Cortelyou, who has since been rewarded by his appointment as postmaster general and Is still chairman of the Republican national committee, expended what the trusts and the corporations provided. The late Senator Hanna might be excused for demanding and expending such vast sums as he received In 1896, for the Republican emergency was great, but last year there wis no need to corrupt the voters. It was patent to even superficial observers that Mr. Roosevelt would be elected at least three months before the event occurred. The fti’ct is that the Republican workers have become so debauched by being paid that they refuse to work or vote until the usual honorarium and boodle were forthcoming. Is any one foolish enough to believe that these corporations contribute these large sums without expecting and probably being promised advantages or special privileges In return? The trust corporations pay to prevent tariff reform; the railroads pay to prevent being controlled; the bankers and life insurance companies pay because they are controlled by the same financial interests and receive special favor aud privileges from the political managers. How do the Democrats who are paying double for life Insurance what It is honestly worth aud who own stock In railroads and banks like their money being expended to keep the corporations In power instead of the larger dividends that would be paid under an honest administration? It is now' up to the voters to stop this corruption, and the only way they can stop it is by defeating the party that is in league with the corporations.

Not Much to Boast Of.

Indiana Republicans have been boasting of having S7O per capita deposited in the banks of tbat state. If these deposits are figured on the basis that the state funds were, it is not much to boast of. The Republican auditor’s deposits are shown to be over $145,000 short of what they should be.

Morgan’s Partner.

Mr. Bacon, the new assistant secretary of state, was a partner of J. P. Morgan and is still director of fourteen trusts, but President Roosevelt evidently thought bls experience In organizing the trusts would be useful in forming combines with foreign countries.

THE TARIFF ROBBERY.

Why Railroad* Make Ko Proteat Against the Steel Tr**t. There must be some agreement between the railroad managers and the steel trust for a rakeoff, or the railroads would never be so lamblike and submit to being robbed on the steel rails and other steel products they buy without strong protest. Here is the Pennsylvania railroad, for instance, contracting for 170,060 tons of steel rails at the price the trust sets of S2B per ton. That costs the\stockholders of that railroad about $1,300,000 more than if there was no tariff, the tariff on steel rails being $7.84 per ton and the price In England being S2O a ton or less for such a large order. The consumer in the end pays this tax. for the railroads get the money back on their rates on freight and passengers, and the $1,300,006 tariff tax that the Pennsylvania railroad will pay—which the government does not receive, but the steel trust collects—is added to the cost of living, which all pay their share of. When you come to think that all other railroads are paying the same tax to the steel trust, the cost to the American people is enormous.

Lets the Other Fellow Worry.

“The president does not worry.” says a friend of bls. Of course President Roosevelt does not worry. Why should he? He lets the other fellow pace the floor and fret. He has a good income besides bis salary and has everything at bls command to make life desirable. The fellow who worries is the man with the limited income, who feels the full force of trust high prices without the corresponding increase of the wherewith to pay bls bills. The great majority of the American people have cause to worry. They pay the tariff and trust tax that "protection to American Industry” allows the favored few to plunder them of, and they also pay* the unreasonable railroad rates with no redress. The farmer, the small tradesmen and the workingmen and their families are the ones who worry, and as long as the present system Is continued they will find no relief.

Much Digging, but No Progress.

We would call President Roosevelt’s attention to the fact that the Panama canal managers are quite active in digging into what remains of the appropriation In the treasury, but rather lax about making the dirt fly. Come to The Democrat office for all kinds of job printing. An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.

Periodic Pains. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick headache, or any of the distressing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an exhausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no disagreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. “For a long time I have suffered greatly with spells of backache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I bebegan the use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Fils, and they always relieve me in a Short time. My sister, who suffers the same way, has used them with the same results.” MRS. PARK, 721 8. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind.
