When the legislature meets the republican state machine will get busy with its own special "reforms,” Of all such the democratic members will be properly suspicious, The last session of the present congress will meet December 3. There is nothing to prevent the Hon. Fred Landis and the Hon. George Washington Cromer from answering to roll call, but the country will survive if they don’t. When the legislature convenes next January some effort should be made to find out how it is that the school-book trust has been permitted to hold up the parents of Indiana. Here is a chance for reform that Governor llanly has not talked about. Now that the election is over there is no reason why PostmasterGeneral Cortelyou (who is also chairman of the republican national com mi i tee) should not take steps looking to the return of the money filched from the New York life insurance companies and used in the 1904 campaign. The democratic party stands for honest and beneficial reforms all along the line, but it wants no shams, counterfeits or false pretenses. In Indiana the record of the democratic party is clear. It has to its credit the passage of practically every genuine reform law put in the statutes during the past thirtvNj'ars. Some scared republicans want President Roosevelt to call a special session of the fiOtli congress, to meet immediately after March 1, when the present congress ends, to take up the question of tariff revision. It is not known what Mr. Roosevelt will do, but the country has cause for alarm. Whenever the tariff has been ‘‘revised by its friends” it has been revised upward and the trusts have rejoiced. It is a sure ““thing that tin re will be no decent tariff reform so long as the Joe Cannons and the Dal/,ells have any inti lienee in congress. If any republican member of the legislature believed fora minute that he was going to have an independent part to play in the work of the coming session he has had the idea knocked out of his mind. Governor Hanly, acting for the state machine, has already chosen the speaker and the heads of all the committees. Pretty soon he will have men picked out for all the doorkeeper and clerical po-

eitions. If any republican waute a job or ba4 a pet notion about some sort of a bill he should see the governor. It is not worth while to bother a member of the legislature. More than a week before the supreme court made public its decision in the Sherrick trial, it was stated in the Indianapolis Star, and afterward in many Indiana newspapers, that the court would reverse the verdict of conviction and give Sherrick his freedom. This is just what the court did, but the wonder is how the fact became known in advance. Some one either made a good guess or else there was a leak.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS.

Although the republicans have a majority in the lower house of the general assembly, the membership is so evenly divided that a great responsibility will rest upon the forty-seven democrats who hold seats. But they are all men of such character and ability that there is no question as to their attitude toward proposed legislation. The democratic party has been the real reform party in Indiana, and its legislative record, made against republican opposition, is one to be proud of. No honest and needed reform measure has ever appealed to democratic legislators in vain, though they have never acted hastily or vindictively. The passage of a law is always a serious business, and frequently involves a careful consideration of many things. Differences are to be reconciled to the single end that the completed work shall be for the public good. Many important matters will come before the legislature next winter. There is much to be done and it ought to be done. The republican party has been in •control of the legislature for* twelve years. Much of the work it has accomplished has been an abomination, atid the needed things that it has left undone are legion. The democratic members of the house and senate have an opportunity to make their power felt at the coming session “Such as they have not had in many years. The republicans will try to “play politics” from the start, but the democrats should keep their eyes steadily on the people’s interests all the time. That is the best way to block the partisan game which they will tind themselves up against. Let them stand shoulder-to-shoulder for everything that is really good, and shoulder-to-shoulder against everything that is bad.

THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE.

In state and nation the democratic party has a chance such as rarely comes to a minority party. We are glad to say that the signs seem to show that the parly is going to make the most of it. * * And we are informed that many democrats have assured the governor that they will refuse to be bound by any party caucus that may seek to commit them against measures lor the benefirof the people Indianapolis News i Rep.) In the first place no democratic caucus will “seek to commit” any democratic member of the legislature ‘‘against measures for the benefit of the people.” In the second place, the mere fact that Governor Hanly says be favors a thing i 8 no guaranty that he knows all about it, or that bis view of it is necessarily “for the benefit of the people.” The democratic members of Indiana legislatures have always shown that they have clear notions as to what is best in the way of legislation, The list of good laws to their credit proves that fact. Just now it is much more important to know whether Governor Hanly will stand by the things which the democratic members may believe are “for the benefit of the poople.” He did not do so when he was a state senator. He voted against many measures of proved value, like the tax law and the fee and salary law. The democrats in congress last winter “stood by Roosevelt” on oer-

tain measures which they thought would be ‘‘for the benefit of the people,” not because they were Roosevelt measures, but because they, to an extent, toe-tracked democratic doctrines, as the railroad rate bill, for instance. After congress adjourned Roosevelt refused to give the democrats a particle of credit for their support, though he would have failed without it, and used the result of their work in an effort to get another republican congress. It is plain, therefore, that democrats in both the legislature and congress should so conduct themselves that they will not be used for the mere partisan advantage of the republican party or its leaders.

DANGERS FROM DYSPEPSIA.

Imperfect Digestion Moat Prolific Cause of Serious Disease. While health reports do not give indigestion as a cause of death, yet it so weakens the stomach and the whole system that it makes one readily susceptible to serious illness. If you have distress after eating, a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, nervousness, dizziness, nausea, headache or any other symptoms of indigestion, begin the use of Mi-o-na at once and get well. Mi-o-na will give such strength and tone lo the whole digestive system that you can eat anything at any time without fear of distress or indigestion. B. F. Fendig has so much faith in its superior merits, that he gives a guarantee with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na that the remedy will cost nothing unless it cures.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Cook, of Crawford county, handed down a decision last week that is of state importance. He decided that a wholesale liquor dealer was one who sold to retailers and that a person whose principal business is selling to consumers, no matter in what amount, is not a wholesaler. The decision was upon eight indictments against wholesale “blind tiger” men. On each indictment he found them guilty and fined them $25 and costs. Eighteen other indictments are pending against these same men. The liquor dealers admitted to selling to consumers but claimed they sold only in five gallon lots. The customers would buy five gallons and take it away a pint at a time. Judge Cook held the amount bought or carried away had nothing to do with the case so long as the purchaser was a consumer and the liquor dealer has no state or city license. —Evansville Courier.

RIVER SURVEY NOW COMPLETED.

Reclalming of Lands In Kankakee Bottoms Seems Assured at Last. Laporte, Ind., .Nov. 23.—Mayor Harrow has been advised of the completion of the survey of the Kankakee river, beginning at the Laporte and Starke county line and extending to Momence, 111. This work was undertaken a number of months ago and its completion means the furtherance of the gigantic project to reclaim fully 500,000 acres of land lying in the counties of Porter, Jasper, Lake and Newton. Government engineers will now prepare maps and make estimates of the cost of straightening the river’s course, and when this has been accomplished the necessary steps will have been taken insuring the consumation of the largest reclamation project yet undertaken by Kankakee land owners.

THINK OF THIS ONE MINUTE.

How does it happen that the Studebaker factory in South Bend, Ind., covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory in the world? How does it happen that more than a million Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than sis years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make a good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Bo you think it just happened or was there a reason for it? You know there must have been a reason and this is it. The absolute reliability of the Studebaker product It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied only with the best.. If you belong to that class, if you like a good farm rather than a poor farm, a good horse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a a poor wagon, we ask you to investigate the Studebaker before buying.

Head Ache Sometimes? If so, it will interest you to know that it can be stopped with Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills; and without any bad aftereffects, and this without danger of forming a drug habit or having your stomach disarranged. They positively contain no opium, morphine, cocaine, chloral, ether or chloroform in any form. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain, and leave only a sense of relief. The reason for this is explained by the fact that headache comes from tired, irritable, turbulent, over-taxed brain nerves. AntiPain Pills soothe and strengthen these nerves, thus removing the cause. They are harmless when taken as directed. "We use Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills for the cure of headache, and we think that there is nothing that will equal them. They will cure the severest spell of nervous or sick headache In a very few minutes. I am of a nervous temperament, and occasionally have spells when my nerves seem to be completely exhausted, and I tremble so I can scarcely contain myself. At these times I always take the Anti-Pain Pills, and they quiet me right away. It Is remarkable what a soothing effect they have upon the nerves.” MRS. F. E. KARL. Detroit. Mich.
