TREASON TO FAIRBANKS

About two week* Ago the Indiuap* oils Star printed a double-leaded edl* tortal formally announcing the candidacy of Charles W. Fairbanks for president. As Mr. Fairbanks has been an avowed candidate for two years, the Star’s announcement was superfluous. The Republican state convention, however, did not indorse Mr. Fairbanks as a candidate. Its failure in that respect was regarded as singularly strange, but perhaps there was method in it. The Indianapolis News spoke of the platform adopted by the convention as a "Hanly platform.” From this it was understood that Governor Hanly dictated the platform. Since that time the governor has persuaded tbe Republican state committee to Indorse him as "the issue” In the state campaign. Some other Republican authorities have declared Roosevelt to be "the as to national matters. Capable political experts, putting this and that together, came to tbe conclusion that possibly Governor Hanly expected that the two "iHsues,” namely, himself and the president, would be made Into the Roosevelt and Hanly ticket in 1908. But It appears that Hanly may have a higher ambition. The Indianapolis Star quotes a prominent Republican editor as declaring that he will be "the next Republican candidate for president.” He thinks he will be nominated about like Garfield was. "He stands a better show,” says the editor, “of being the next Republican national standard bearer than any other man in this country.” Now, all this is plain treason to Mr. Fairbanks—and doubtless It Is premeditated treason. It It Is not premeditated, why does Hanly insist on being "the issue"? If he should win he would be the great Republican "It” In Indiana and Fairbanks would be politically discredited before the country.

BILLS KILLED OR "DEFERRED” BY CONGRESS.

The session of congress lately adjourned lasted seven months. The Republicans had a large majority In both the house and senate. The presiding officers of both bodies were Republicans and the president, who must approve all legislation, is a Republican. The chairman of every committee was a Republican. It would have been easy for the Republicans, therefore, to pass any bill that they wanted to pass. But there were many bills that they did not want to pass and yet were afraid to openly vote against, and so such bills were smothered in committcees or held back' by other processes. It was thus that the labor bills were killed. Among the regular measures that lost their lives at the last session were the following: The eight-hour bill. The anti-injunction bill. The bill limiting the working hours of railway employes. The letter carriers’ bill. Publicity of campaign affairs. Prohibiting corporation campaign contributions. Election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. To prevent competition with con-vict-made goods. For the greater safety of Inland navigation. To build government powder factory to prevent the extortions of the powder trust. To unseat Senator Smoot, Mormon apostle. Other measures In which there was popular interest could be added to the list. Speaking of the matter In the closing days of the last session Congressman Sulzer, of New York, said: “And there are others of almost as much Importance, but 1 am sorry to say because these hills are opposed by great corporate and finanolal Interests it is absolutely Impossible, apparently, to get them considered In this house—to have them brought to a vote, so that the members will he compelled to go on record and vote for them or vote against them. Such Is Republican policy.”

When the rate bill was pending President Roosevelt repeatedly warned the railroads that If they prevented government regulation they might expect a demand for government ownership. Mr. Bryan declares that If the railroads will submit to fair regulation in the interest of the, people government ownership will not be necessary, but that If they refuse to submit to such regulation It may come.

PROBLEM FOR GOVERNOR HANLY

There seems to be a very large question in the minds of a good many persons as to the sincerity of Governor Hanly’s ‘Jaw enforcement" professions. Among the doubting persons jußt now is B. F. Watson, a member of the Prohibition party’s state central committee. On the 23d of last August Mr. Watson addressed a letter to the governor in which he called the latter’s attention to his past professions and certain of his performances and asked him to cast his eyes toward alleged transgressors which he was meeting face to face every day. And now we quote from Ms. Watson’s latter: “I refer prlmar ly to the Columbia Chib, of which likely you are a member. It is notorious that this great Republican organization maintains one of the finest bars in the state, at which llqucrs are sold, not only to Its members, but to their friends and other visitors. In fact, lam Informed that the club receipts from the sale of liquor are greater than from any other department. The Columbia Club has, of course, no license to sell Intoxicating liquor, as it could not obtain one. Every sale of liquor made by It, whether to members or others, Is as clearly a violation of the law as was the gambling conducted at West Baden or French Lick. And In this case the law violation is not merely connected with the building owned by the corporation by a bridge or walk, but is in a conspicuous place just back of the main corridor. There would be no pretense, I opine, that the receipts do not go Into the treasury of the club.

“More than thirty years ago, In the case of Marmont vs. the State, 48 Ind. 21, the supreme court held that the sale of Intoxicating liquor by an association or club to its members was a violation of law, and this decision has been followed by the appellate court as late as Haggard vs. State, 26 App. 695. If the power of the state should be' used to suppress gambling at French Lick and West Baden. I submit the question whether the auditor of state ought not institute an investigation of the Columbia Club, with the view of revoking Its charter for these notorious violations of the law, which go on 365 days in the year and practically twenty-four hours each day.” On the first of September Governor Hanly wrote to Mr. Watson that his “favor” had been received and that It would be given “such consideration as Its character and evident purpose” entitled it to receive. Just what the governor means by “character” and

“evident purpose,” he does not explain. But in the meantime it may be suspected that the Columbia Club remains unreformed and steeped in the iniquity described by Mr. Watson. It is understood that not only Governor Hanly, but practically all of the candidates on the Republican state ticket, most of the congressional candidates and dozens of other prominent 1 Republicans, including the vice president of the United States and Senators Beveridge and Hemenway, all are members of the aristocratic Columbia I Chib. Nor should It be forgotten that Attorney General Miller and State Auditor Bigler also are reputed to he members of the institution whose alleged questionable practices are thrust so rudely into the face of that eminent apostle of patriotism in time of peace, the Hon. J. Frank Hanly. And the question is, what will Governor Hanly do about the charges so openly and boldly made against the Republican Columbia Club of Indianapolis?

KILLS CATARRH GERMS

Hyomei’s Healing Air Reaches Every Part of Nose, Throat and Lungs. Hyomei is the only scientific and thorough way to cure catarrh. Stomach dosing does not reach the catarrhal germs in the air passages and caunot possibly drive them from the system. By breathing air medicated with Hyomei the germs in the nose, throat and lungs are killed and all traces of catarrhal poison are effectually driven out. Borne people may think that Hyomei ia simply for catarrh of the bead and throat, but it is equally effeotive in catarrh of the stomach, liver or kidneys. The catarrhal germs are in the muoous membrane and Hyomei not only kills the germs in the air passages, but enters the blood with the oxygen, thus killing the germs in the blood and freeing the whole system from catarrh. Hyomei is sold by B. F. Feudig under an absolute guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. A complete outfit costs but SI.OO, extra bottles 50c. A guarantee like this is stronger proof of merit than any olaim that can be made in an advertisement. B. F. Fendig would not give his personal guarantee in this manner unless be had perfect confidence in the value of Hyomei.

FRANK ADMISSION

A Prominent Republican Sees Gloomy Outlook. Jefferson H. Claypool of Indianapolis is the Republican member of the state board of election commissioners under the nomination of the Republican state committee and the appointment of Governor Hanly. Mr. Claypool has frequently given' his views upon public questions to the newspapers. In a communication printed in the Indianapolis Star of June 16, 1906, he said: “It Is as certain as anything In politics can be that the Democratic party will unite on and accept Bryan as their leader and candidate In the next national struggle on a platform declaring chiefly for tariff reform and the dismemberment or control of the trusts. That such a candidate on such a platform will give the Republican party the battle of Its life since the first election of Lincoln is as certain as any human prediction can be. That Mr. Bryan has stood two defeats as a candidate for president and today stands the Idol of his party shows him to be a remarkable man.”

Mr. Claypool then said this aB to the Republican situation: “Our situation is beset with serious difficulties. We are in power in every department of the government and can offer no excuse to the people if we fail to meet their expectations and correct within our lease of power the chief evils of which they complain. We shall have to give a good account of our present stewardship In the campaign of 1908, or go down to deserved defeat. From the present temper of congress the outlook for adequate remedial legislation Is by no means favorabel. The party leaders are at war with the* president in regard to most of the reforms he is demanding in the name of the people, and no one can foretell the result, though the fate of the party hangs on it." A little further along in the same article Mr. Claypool said: “The Republican party cannot serve two masters —the monopolies and the people—and the hour is fast approaching when its decision must be announced and carried out as to which It will forsake. The abuses which the people complain against must and will be abated, and if one instrumentality cannot he made to perform the work another will be found. The fact that the country has prospered in spite of an unjust and discriminating tariff and a reign of mammoth illegal business combinations cannot be safely relied upon by the Republican party to win in the next campaign.”

Of the protective tariff on which the Republican leaders, including President Roosevelt, “stand pat,” Mr. Claypool said: “The protective tariff breeds the trusts; the trusts increase the price of manufactured commodities and cheapen the quality of products. No party can go against the sound economic proposition and gain the support of the majority of the electorate in 1908." At the time Mr. Claypool wrsle the above communication he did not know that his party leaders would force the “stand pat” issue in the present campaign. The Republican party has thereoy put itself on the side of the trusts as against the people, and, according to Mr. Claypool, should not win in the present campaign.

The Republican Ticket Machine-Made and Boss-Ridden.

The- 190 f» Republican state convention gave an Illustration of bossism and machine rule such as has never been witnessed before in this state. Disgusted delegates declared after the convention had adjourned that they had been used as mere trading stamps. They had no individual choice and their votes were bunched and dumped for one man and another as the manipulators of the machine dictated. What sort of “houße-cleaning could be expected from the machine-made And boss-ridden nominees of this convention If by any chance they should ba eeleted? Only the kind that will best answer the purposes of the politicians who are now In charge of the Republican organization. Surely it will not be what the people want. The people of Indiana will not allow themselves to be deceived by the “reform” and “house-cleaning” talk of the Republican state ring. There is not a genuine reformer or house-cleaner in the bunch. The Republican party of Indiana Is in the hands of a few political adventurers who want to control it —and the state, If possible—for the furtherance of their own ambitions. They don’t care about anything else, and a longer lease of power will be taken by them to mean practically a quit-claim deed to the state from the people. A vote for the Democratic atata ticket means a vote for honesty and economy In the state government *

SAMPLE TOMMYROT.

All the time remember that the election of a Democratic congress would tie the hands of President Roosevelt during the remaining years of his term. No good citizen should desire to see President Roosevelt embarrassed. —Lafayette Journal (Rep.). Nonsense! Who was it that tied the hands of President Roosevelt during the last session of congress? It was members of his own party, and he had to call on Democratic senators for help. Who was It that “embarrassed” him? The same class of Republicans In congress. And their opposition would have been fatal to all attempts at reform legislation if it had not been for the support which the Democrats freely gave to Mr. Roosevelt. He proved ungrateful, but that does not change the facts. A Democratic congress will vote for all measures that are In the interest of the people, whether Mr. Roosevelt is for them or against them. Besides, the present congress will last until March 4, 1907, and as it has an overwhelming Republican majority, it can pass any bill that it wants to pass before the Democrats elected this fall could get a “look in."

Postmaster-General Cortelyou, who Is also chairman of the Republican national committee, went to Oyster Bay to see President Roosevelt the other day and was there asked concerning the report that he might be a candidate for governor of New York. Mr. Cortelyou said In reply: “You may quote me as saying that I am, as postmaster-general of the United States, engaged In efforts to Improve the postal service. When I am a candidate for any office I will say so.” But not a word did Mr. Cortelyou say about returning to the widows and orphans the hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen by the officials of the New York insurance companies and given to him for use in the 1904 campaign. Of course the Landises are “standpatters.” Charles B. is a member of congress; his brother Fred is likewise a congressman: Kenesaw M., another brother, 1b a United States judge in Chicago, a life position; Walter, a fourth brother, is postmaster at San Juan, Porto Rico; Charles B.’s son is a cadet at West Point All in all the Landis family should see no real reason why things should be changed. It is the same with the other "standpatters.” Speaker “Joe” Cannon has made $2,000,000 since he has been in congress and no argument will convince him that anything Is wrong with the tariff or the trusts. And so it goes all through the stand pat list
