If it were not funny it would be sad to see how a rioh man’s wealth melts away when the tax assessor comes into view. Detroit is going to give the people cheap municipal ice. This will hurt the feelings of the ice trust more than a few tines. Now that appendicitis has become so common, the wealthy are taking more and more to the fasnion of gettiug hurt in automobile accidents. In the Comming political campaign for Cougress the Republicans will hav one Cannon and a number of squirt guns. Considering that the administration has had full swing at Panama and ail the money it asked for for over two years, it is rather disheartening ts hear secretary Tast say the American people are in too big a hurry to see the dirt flyJ. F. Lewis, attorney for the anti-saloon league in Indiana, in discussing operations of the liquor laws at Winona, said that Hooaier temperance workers find satisfaction in the fact that in the last year they held all the “dry” territory, including three oounties that are absolutely dry, with seventeen others that have saloons in but one ward of their cities, and there are in the state 649 townships and forty oitiea without licensed saloons. In other words over half the townships are “dry.”

The Indiana Republican newspapers are printing the following paragraph: “It is well to keep in mind the fact that the Republicans of Indiana have not paid more than seven millions of the Btate debt in ten years by excessive tax levies, bat by economy in the management of the state’s business and by applying to the purpose that proceeds of a law that requires the fees received in the state offices to be turned into the treasury for the use and benefit of the people.” The Democratic tax law of 1891, supplement by the state debt sinking law passed by the Democratic legislature of 1893, provided a just and equitable system for paying off the state debt. In many Republican counties the appraisements and levies have been juggled to the burden of the taxpayers, but that is not the fault of the tax law. The Democratic law provided the money for paying the state debt and fixed it so that this money could not be used for any other purpose. All that the Republicans can claim now is that they did not steal it. What they would have done if it had not been chained down is another question. The claim of “economy in the management of the state’s business” has no foundation whatever. It is absolutely and unqualified untrue. This has been shown time and again. Among other things there are nine offices in the statehouse which cost the people the last year the Democrats w'ere in power, $132,160. These same offioes administered by the Republicans cost in 1905 the sum of' $297,112. Thiß is a difference of $164,952 in favor of the Democrats, or practically 125 per cent. If an increaseof 125 per cent in the cost of these offices alone in twelve years is “economy” we should like to know what extravagance is.

“COLO STORAGE” AND THE LAW.

Remington Attorney Gives Valuable Information Regarding Liquor Remonstrance Laws. Mr. Editor:—l notice that in your article, in last week’s issue of your paper, in relation to the acts of the Anti-Saloon League of Remington against O’Connor, you seem to express some doubt as to whether the requirements of our state liquor laws apply to a place run as a wholesale liquor house, under a license or permit from the United States only. The cases of State vs. Mathis, 18 Ind. App. 608; State vs. Matbiß, 20 Ind. App. 699; Atkinson vs. State, 33 Ind. App. 8; Cahill vs. State, 76 Northeastern 182, and State vs. Kiley, 76 Northeastern 184, remove all doubts in relation to the application of section 7283 k, of statute 1901, which provides that “All the provisions of this act shall apply to persons, places and sales of spiritous, vinous, malt and other intoxicating liquors whether conducted under the law of the State of Indiana licensing, regulating and restricting the sales of such liquors to be used as a beverage, or by virtue of any laws of the United States; except as to the provisions for obtaining, revoking and remonstrating against license, which apply only to proceedings under the laws of the State of Indiana.” By these decisions the section above quoted is declaredi to apply to all places where liquors are sold whether under license from the County Board or from the United States, and that all the requirements of section 7283 b, in relation to devices, partitions or other business; the provisions of seotion 72880, against allowing one in room on prohibited days and hours, and the provisions of section 7283 d, in relation to location of room on public street, as to glass doors and windows and blinds or screens, apply to rooms where liquors are sold unSer a license from the United States as well as to places licensed by the County Board. Under these decisions a “Cold Storage” or goverment saloon cannot be conducted on a back lot, off of a publio street, in a bam or ice house, but must be on a public street; and all the requirements as tojwindows, doors, partitions, devises, persons therein, and screens or blinds must be as strictly observed as in a saloon operated under a retail license from the County Board. In State vs. Riley, in 76 Northeastern 184, the coart holds that

the proviso to section 7283 which provides “that none of the provisions of this act shall apply to any person engaged in business as a wholesale dealer, who does not sell in less quantities than five gallons at a time,” applies only to the liquor law passed iu 1875 and does not apply to the acts of 1895; that the requirements as to location, devices, partition, persons and blinds or screens are creatures of the law of 1895 and not of 1875, and are in addition to the requirements of the acts of 1875, and apply as well to wholesale as to retail saloons. The court holds that the proviso to section 7283 of acts of 1875 is the same as the exception 7283 k, and covers the same matter, and therefore therefore there is no conflict between the two sections. By this construction all the provisions as to obtaining, revoking and remonstrating againt license apply alone to dealers who sell less than five gallons at a time, and that the provisions as to location, devices, partitions, blinds, etc., apply to all places, whether-run under a retail license or a government permit. Another point in favor of the temperance cause is that under oar present laws the citizens, aided by the town and city boards, can, by proper remonstrances and ordinances, completely prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in such towns and cities. All townships, towns and cities now have the undisputable right to oppose the granting of a county license by three separate and distinot remonstrances all filed at same time and against the same applicant, viz: 1. A blanket remonstrance against the particular applicant. 2. A blanket remonstrance against the liquor traffic, and 3rd a remonstrance for cause against the particular applicant, and the County Board or Court, on appeal, must hear and consider all three remonstrances, and if either is found sufficient to disqualify the applicant a license must be denied. (See Ardery vs. Smith, 35 Ind. App. 94.) By these methods the voters have the right, with or without cause, to prevent a County License being issued to any one. As soon as the voters have thus prevented a County License, town and city boards have the power, by proper ordinances, to prevent sales of liquor without a town or city license, to fix the fee for license at SIOO per year, to make the penalty SIOO per day for selling without such license, and as a pre-requisite to the granting of each town or city license that said applicant first procure a county license. In Wagner vs. Town of Garrett, 118 Ind. 114, the court holds that no one should be entrusted witli the sale of intoxicating liquors unless he be shown to be a fit and proper person so to do, and that the County Board is the only tribunal that is vested with power j to inquire into the fitness of hh applicant, that towns and cities have no power to make such inquiry, that no one has the right to demand a town or city license until he has proven his fitness and obtained the necessary County License. (For authority warranting the above statements see 118 Ind. 103; 118 Ind. 114; 152 Ind. 107; Acts 1905. page 230, sectiou 7; Acts 1905, page 253, section 40; and Thornton’s Municipal Law, pages 38 and 116. From the authorities cited in this letter it is plain that the voters may defeat any afpplicant before the County Board and that town and city boards may refuse a license to any one who does not have a County License and may fine a dealer SIOO per day for selling without suoh town or city license. Your citizens have defeated a County License and it is now up to your city counoil to prevent a cold storage or government saloou. Respectfully,

FOUNTAIN PARK.

“Tho Hon. Charles A. Towne’a maiden effort in the House was a triumph, equalling that of Mr. Bryan in the Fifty-second Congress. “There were few in the hall when he rose to speak, but before he was half finished the House was in a delirium of enthusiasm. Like Burke Cockran, Bob Cousins, William L. Wilson, W. C. P. Breckinridge and W. J. Bryan, the handsome, graceful, eloquent young orator from Minnesota •wept the House off its feet. There was nothing more done that day at that end of the Capitol, and all that political Washington talked about was Towne’s maiden speech.” It will be recalled that Charles A. Towne ran for Vice-President on one of our National tickets in 1900. At Fountain Park. Aug, 25th, 1906, Remington, Indiana.

INVITED TO "SKIDDOO"

Illinois Representative in the Dem« ocratic National Commit* tee Asked to Resign. BETAS DECLARES HE MUST 00 He Befoies and the State Convention Is Urged to Act Michigan Republican* Nominate a State Ticket lowa Republican* President Sends Ris Contribution. Chicago, Any. I.—Judge Owen P. Thompson, of Jacksonville, 111., has made public two letters from William J. Bryan, both dated “The Trossaehs Hotel, Lock Katrine [Scotland], July 37,” which are interesting reading. In the first letter Bryan entrusts Thompson with a message to. Roger Sullivan, Illinois representative in the Democratic national committee, which message, Bryan says, he would deliver himself if be were at home, but as he thinks the message should be delivered at once he sends It through Thompson. The letter then says: Must Resign for Harmony's Sake! “Please say to Mr. Sullivan that he ha* expressed a desire for harmony, and that I assume that he means to help the party to the .extent of Ills ability; but there Is but one way in which he can promote harmony and that is by resigning as national committeeman. We are approaching another national campaign, and our party’s chances depend upon its ability to convince the public of its good intentions. Mr. Sullivan’s presence on the committee contradicts all that we can say In the party’s behalf. His corporate connections would harm the party far beyond his power to aid the organization. “Hold* Office by Fraud.’’ “But this could be left for some future convention to deal with If he were actually the choice of the Democrats of Illinois. The fact, however, that he holds his office by a fraud, and against the express wishes of a majority of the delegates to the state convention. makes it impossible for honest Democrats to associate with him as a member of the committee. “If he refuses to resign, and thus puts his ambition or his business before the party’s success the sooner he Is ejected from the committee the better. It ought to be made an issue in the state convention, if necessary, for the Democracy of Illinois eannot fight uyuler such leadership, and ought not to permit Itself to he misrepresented on the national committee.” SENDS ANOTHER MESSAGE Second One I* for the Democrat* of the Prairie State. Apparently thinking there was little probability of Snllivan resigning Bryan wrote his second letter on the same date. It says. “My Dear .Judge—ls the effort to induce Mr. Sullivan to resign from the national committee fails I wish you would deliver the following message to the Democrats of Illinois: ‘You live in the largest of the western states, and must play au important part In the work which lies before the Democratic party. You can do little to advance Democratic principles so long as you permit the most fundamental of these principles—namely, the light of the majority to rule—to be violated. “‘Mr. Sullivan was selected as national committeeman by delegates who were not chosen by the convention. As he was one of the leaders In the high crimes and misdemeanors committed against the Democracy of Illinois his refusal to resign cannot be attributed to Ignorance of the facts, but is proof positive of his unfitness for the place. We are about to enter upon a campaign in which our party will appeal to the people and ask the confidence of the nation. “‘I do not know how you the Democrats of Illinois could better open that campaign in your state than by demanding his resignation. Let it be known that you insist on honest polities within the party, and that you will be believed when you plead for honesty in the government. • * • 1 had hoped that he would resign In the Interests of harmony, but his refusal leaves you no choice but to repudiate him or abandon Democratic principles.’ ” p: s Judge Thompson says he saw Sullivan and delivered Bryan’B message. Sullivan declined to resign as requested. SULLIVAN'S REPLY IS SHARP Hints That Bryan Is Usurping the Place of a Boa*. Sullivan in reply to Bryan’s letter, after roasting the “Jacksonville cabal” aays that Bryan hns allowed himself to persist In what the Democratic national conventitndeclared a mlsrenresentation and liikel; that the question was tried out in three party tribunals, with Bryan as the advocate against Sullivan. and each time Sullivan won, and that by the votes of such Democrats as Tillman. Culberson. John Sharp Williams and other well-known Democratic leaders. “In conclusion,” Sullivan says, “I would like to remind Mr. Bryan that the ’fundamental principles of Democracy* which he speaks of do not Include recognition of political czardom. Democrats may have their leaders, the leader* nay have their followers, hut their leaden will never be autocrats

J ASPER GUY.

and the followers will never be serfs, obedient to the orders prompted by court favorites." Tlie charges of fraud brought by Bryan in connection with the selection of Roger Sullivan as Democratic national committeeman from Illinois are based on the action of the committee on credentials of the Democratic state convention of 1004 In unseating a number of delegates from Cook county and seating contesting delegates backed by the so-called Hopkins-Sullivan organization, thus giving the control of the convention to the latter organization. MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS They Adopt a Resolution Favoring Popular Election of Senator*. Detroit, Aug. I.—Excepting a slight brush in the resolutions committee over Representative William Alden Smith’s resolution pledging the party to the direct nomination of United States senators the Republican state convention was featureless and partook more of the nature of a ratification meeting than a convention. The contest in the resolutions committee resulted in the adoption of a compromise resolution which recommends to the Michigan delegates to the lowa convention in September that they "direct their efforts to the end that the people of the United States so amend the constituion of the United States ns to permit the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people.” The platform which was adopted thoroughly indorses President Roosevelt’s administration, expresses appreciation of the work of the Michigan congressional delegation, affirms continued belief In the Republican tariff policy, congratulates the state upon its prosperity, and indorses Governor Fred M.Warner, the other state officials, and the last legislature. The state ticket is as follows: Governor, Fred M. Warner, of' Farmington; lieutenant governor. Patrick H. Kelly, of Wayne; Secretary of state, George A. Prescott of Tawas City; state treasurer, Frank P. Glazier, of Chelsea: auditor general, Dr. James B. Bradley, of Eaton Rapids; land commissioner, William H. Rose, of Bath; attorney general, John E. Bird, of Adrian; superintendent of public instruction. Luther L. Wright, of Ironwood; member of state hoard of education, Dexter M. Ferry. Jr., of Detroit. All are renominatious except Kelly, Wright and Ferry. The nominations of governor and lieutenant governor had been made by primaries some time before the convention meet.

lOWA REPUBLICANS. Governor Cummin* la Renominated on First Ballot. Deg Moines. la., Auk. 2. —The Republican state convention met In this city under circumstances that nad been expected to make it one of the liveliest ever held in the state. Instead it was uuite tame. The flight of-Perkins against Cummins collapsed practically when the state committee declined to challenge a split by seating the Perkins contesting delegations to an extent sufficient to give him control of the convention. The temporary chairman was Horace M. Towner, and lie opened proceedings with a speech in glorification of the party. Committees were then appointed and a recess that lasted until 6 p. in.—was taken to give them time to report When the convention reassembled the credentials committee reported, giving Cummins all the contested elegates except thirteen from Jefferson county. The report was unanimous and was adopted unanimously. Geo. W. Clark was made permanent chairman. Nominations were then declared in order and Cummins. Perkins and Rnthburn were nominated. The result was: Cummins. 983: Perkins, 60S; Rathbun. 104, Then the platform was read and adopted and the ticket was eomlpetcd, as follows: T.ieutenant governor, Warren Garst: secretary of state, W. C. Hayward; auditor. R F. Carroll; treasurer, W. W. Morrow; attorney general, H. W. Byers; supreme Judges—E. McLean and John C. Sherwin: superintendent public instruction, John F. Riggs: supreme court clerk, John C. Crockett; reporter, W.W. Cornwall; railroad commissioners, W. L. Eaton and David J. Palmer. The resolutions firmly oppose corporate influence in public affairs, uphold the theory .of protection and favor revision of tariff schedules to keep in harmony with the commercial conditions of the country and favor a wide primary law looking to the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. PRESIDENT SENDS HIS DOLLAR He Contri bates That Much to the Republican Campaign Fund. New York, Aug. I.—President Roosevelt has contributed one dollar to the Republican national congressional commltte’s campaign fund. The contribution was sent in response to a general appeal for one dollar contributions. Chairman Sherman, of the congressional committee, made public the president's letter Inclosing his contribution to the fund. The letter Is dated Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 25, 1906, and says: "Dear Mr. Sherman—l have your letter of ’ the 24th Inst, and iuclosures. I send my dollar. I think it an admirable plan, and I congratulate you upon the success that bids fair to attend the movement.”

Gooding Renominated In Idaho.

Pocatello, Ida.. Aug. 2.—Governor Frank ft. Gooding, the chief figure in the prosecution of the officers of the Western Federation of Miners, was renominated by the Republican state convention here. Burton L. French was nominated for congress and W. E. Borah was endorsed for the United States senatorship. -

Watch out for the high prices fall goods and buy your winter outfit of Wildberg. Ail wool goods less money than the Cotton mixed stuff at other places. The Pig I* Cleanly. The pig by nature is one of the cleanest of animals and in internal construction resembles the human being more closely than any other animal. What wonder then it is that we hear of so much disease when they are kept under such filthy conditions as we so often see. Give them clean, healthy surroundings and we shall hear very little of disease and they will be to us the money making machines they have proved themselves.—R. T. Archer In American Cultivator. Orchard Cult arc. The fruit experiment station at Mountain Grove, Mo., has long tested the advantages of orchard culture and the condition of crops in recent yean and will continue this work. It has been found that a crop which will cover the soil during August and September will be a great advantage. It is not advisable to plow this crop under until spring, for If allowed to remain on the ground during the winter It will serve as a protection. Molaaars and Straw, A great many fanners cut all their straw last year and fed It with “black strap,” about one cupful o's molasses mixed with water to five head of cat-tle-just enough to nicely dampen the feed. This Is considered very satisfactory, as it Induces the cattle to eat the food up well.—Ontario Cor. American Cultivator. Second Growth Clover. The second growth clover for hay should be cut when in full red bloom, with but few brown beads, and cured In the cock, says L. W. Lighty In National Stockman.* It should never be sun dried, as that renders the finer and better parts so brittle that much la lost in storing. The Cheekrelß. Use the checkrein with a little common sense. If used properly it will hold the bead on the level and prevent sore shoulders, as the collar presses on the whole shoulder when the head Is ou the level. The natural level with some horses Is higher than with others. Care of Dairy Utensil*. Sunlight and pure air are the cheapest and most effective means of keeping the dairy utensils pure and sanitary after they have been cleansed. Where these conditions do not exist It is advisable to put them in a hot drying room.—Kansas Experiment Station. Dry Mash For Fowl. This Is a mixture of ground grains, mainly wheat bran. It Is fed dry In troughs, boxes or self feeders. It Is usually kept before the hens ail the time.
