Why Refer to Doctors Because we make medicines for them. We tell them all about Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and they prescribe it for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption. They trust it. Then you can afford to trust it. Ask your own doctor. The best kind of a testimonial—- “ Sold for over sixty years.” M Had* by 3.0. Ayr Co., Lowell, Mass.

The Mexican government quietly takes over the ownership of the railroads of that country to keep them out of the clutches of United States trusts. That is jußt like what has happened in thiscountry, except that the trusts took over the government to keep it from taking charge of the railroads. A Republican legislature in Colorado two years ago stole the governorship from Alva Adams. A Republican legislature will this winter add to the state’s disgrace by electing to the United States senate one Guggenheim, whose sole claim upon the place is that he spent an immense sum —said to be $1,000,000 —to help the Republicans carry the election. In a late article by “Mr. Dooley” it was said that President Roosevelt’s hardest work was to keep the vice president out of the white house kitchen. And then there was a picture of Mr. Fairbanks at the kitchen door with a bottle of “rough on rats” in his hand. It is doubtful if the vice-president appreoiaets the artist’s humor.

Attorney General Miller still insists that there is no effective antitrust law in Indiana. And his party is to blame for it. It has had control of the legislature for twelve years. It has a majority in both branches now. If an antitrust law is not passed this winter the Republican party alone will be responsible and the people will not forget it. One of the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks Indianapolis organs declares that Shaw, of lowa, will not be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and that the delegates from the Hawkeye state will look with favor upon Fairbanks. As both Shaw and Fairbanks are known to be railroad and truot favorites it is possible thattheir mutually interested backers may come to an understanding. From present indications Governor Hanly does not intend to take a back seat on the centralization question for Roosevelt, Root for anybody else. For a long time it has been understood that be would like to have the metropolitan polioe law extended to all the principal cities of the state, including Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute, which are not now subjeot to his control. If such an extension could be brought about the governor could regulate the looal affairs of these oities, as he now regulates others, from his office in atatebouse. What the legisla-

tore will think about it remains to be seen. Most peopls ars still old fashioned enough to prefer to manage tbeir own local affairs.

The lower house of congress has voted to increase the salary of the* vice-president, speaker and members of the cabinet to $12,000 a year. An attempt was made at the same time to raise thesalaries of congressmen from $5,000 to $7,500 a year to take effect in 1909, but it failed, though three Republicans from Indiana —Fred Landis, Overstreet and Foster —voted for it. It seems that most of the congressmen felt that they would rather struggle along on $5,000 a year thau turn their job over to a new man at $7,500.

Assuming that President Roosevelt acted within his powers as oommander-in-cbief of the army, bis dismissal from the service of the negro companies will be overwhelmingly sustained by the country. Members of these companies rioted through the streets of Brownsville, Texas, and committed murder with the gone of the United States army. Those who did not participate in the murder shielded the guilty. Such things will not be tolerated from either black or white troops, and President Roosevelt seems to have pursued the only course open to him.

ANTI-SALOON ORGANIZATION.

Minutes of Meeting Held at aoodland Dec. 18, 1906. Representatives of the Anti-Sa-loon and Good Citizens Leagues of Jasper, Benton, White and Newton counties met in Goodland on the 18th day of December at 10 o’clock a. m. The meeting was called to order and Rev. T. J. Bassett of Goodland was elected temporary chairman and Roy M. Shepard lemporary secretary. On request of the president, Mr. E. A Perkins stated the object of the meeting as being to organize the Anti-Saloon and Good Citizen Leagues of the four counties of Jasper, White. Benton and Newton into a central league, for the purpose of fighting the liquor traffic and enforcing the liquor laws of the State, and also to use their influence in the passing of more efficient temperance laws. A committee consisting of Mr. Bostick of White, Mr. Groves of Jasper, Rev.T. E. Ballard of Newton, and Fletcher Smith of Benton, were appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. A committee to be known as the legislative committee, was appointed and consisted of Mr. Castleof Benton. Mr. Ott of Jasper, Mr. Steele of White, and A D. Babcock of Newton. It will be the duty of this committee to draw up a bill to be presented, by the league, to the coming legislature. The legislative committee offered the following report which was adopted as amended: Ist. Making it unlawful tor wholesale dealers in intoxicating liquors to sell to any person, firm or corporation not legally engaged in the retailing of the same. 2nd. We also recommend that before the wholesaler can legally sell to the retailer that be shall be required to procure a license so to do from the State of Indiana. 3rd. We also recommend that said law contain a provision making it unlawful for any persou, firm or corporation to sell, barter or give away any intoxicating liquor by sample to be delivered at any future time except to legally licensed saloon-keepers. 4ih. We also recommend that said proposed law shall contain a provision making it unlawful for a wholesale license to be granted in any township in this state where a majority of the legal voters of said township have filed with the Commissioners of the county what is commonly known as a Blanket Remonstrance against the retail traffic. sth. We also recommend that sections 11 and 18 of the liquor laws of the State of Ohio, passed Feb. 3rd, 1906, and approved Feb. 23, 1906, be considered and so much thereof as is not repugnant to the laws of the State of Indiana be adopted in said proposed bill. A. D. Babcock, Chairman. Amendment: We also recommend that said law shall contain provision giving the people the right to remonstrance by oounties. A motion was passed by the meeting requiring that representatives of the league who are to be sent to the legislature must be instructed to work in harmony with the State Anti-Saloon League. Permanent officers were elected consisting of Dr. B. W. Pratt, of Goodland, president; Roy M. Shepard of Goodland, secretary; Mr. Oox, of Fowler, treasurer. A motion that a vioe-president from each of the four oounties be elected was carried and the following men were eleoted: John Bowers of Beaton, Dr. J. Gouchnour of White, Levi Hswkinß of Jasper, and A. M. Sneider of Newton.
