Vice President Fairbanks, who is rated as a millionaire, claims an interest in Ohio because lie was there, Indiana because he votes there, and Illinois because he lives there a part of the time on his “big farm.’’ It is possible that he filed liens on other states. As a candidate Mr. Fairbanks is terribly in earnest. It is said that Indiana republican leaders view with alarm the “stand-pat” policy adopted by President Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon and members of the Congressional Committee at Oyster Bay Monday, and say they will not be bound by the Oyster Bay manifesto. The leaders at Indianapolis realize that there is a general demand in this state for tariff revision, and a canvass of the wholesale district of the capital city revealed that nearly every merchant is favorable to a revision of the tariff at the earliest possible moment. Postmaster Walkup is the leader of one Republican faction in | Crawfordsville and Walter Break is prominent the other faction, which is known as the “anti-ring” 1 faction Walkup and Break met upon the street, each recalled the other’s politcal treachery and each told the other that he was a liar and doubtless offered to prove it. Then they began to pummel each other with their fists, to the great scandal of the decent citizens of the Hoosier Athens. These republican fights are as numerous as they are disgraceful. Usually they grow out of quarrels over offices, which do not belong to them at all, but to the people, Isn’t it about time for the people to reclaim their own?

The New York Press, strongly republican, thinks George B, Cortelyou, Mr. Roosevelt’s postmaster general, should resign the chairmanship of the republican national committee. The Press declares that the insurance money contributed to the Republican campaign fund in 1904 was stolen from the policy holders and their dependents. and that its acceptance by the committee was morally the receiving of stolen goods. Mr. Oortelyou has often spoken of resigning, but be still bolds on. President Roosevelt ought to enjoy life pretty well. The wolf has never growled at his door, whatever the bobcats may have done. He has gone where he pleased and as he pleased. He has talked and written to his heart’s content (perhaps), has held offices to his taste and never has had any trouble locating the spotlight. And now that he has retired to bis summer home at Oyster Bay he has ordered a great naval display in view of his front yard for the entertainment of his family and neighbors. Much powder will be burned to the great profit of the powder trust, which gets from the government 75 cents a pound for powder which should not cost more than 35 cents. All of which is a good thing for the powder trust. As for the people, they only foot the bill.
