Official Democratic Paper of Jasper County. Entered at the Post-office at Rensselaer, Ind as second class matter. Office on Van Reneeeiaor Street, SATURDAY, FEB. 9, 1907.

It is humiliating that our schools are dependent on the saloon. Editor Marshall of the Republican should now shake hands and make up with Bro. Carr of the Fowler Leader, who was Also a candidate for postoffice honors but was given the icy hand by Congressman Crumpacker, Nearly every person holding a position under the state government wants his pay increased or his work lightened or something else nice and soft. These Republicans never know when to stop once they get their hands in the treasury. And the treasury, by the way, is desperately hard up for cash. As soon as the Republican party came into power in Indiana it began tampering with the school book law passed by a Democratic legislature to relieve the people from the school book monopoly. Changes in the law and friendly officials have caused a loss of millions of dollars to the parents of the state, A newspaper correspondent writes from Washington that “it will be surprising to many people to be informed that President Roosevelt has turned his back completely on tariff revision.’’ Not at all. Mr Roosevelt “has turned his back’’ upon everything that he has ever advocated. Sometimes he has faced about again in the right direction, but not often The school book trust, tfhich has fared so well in previous Republican legislatures and also at the hands of Republican state officials, again has its representatives in Indianapolis. There is no more infamous robbery than that committed by the school book trust. Every parent who has to supply books for his children knows that the extortion has been growing greater.year after year.

The Saturday Evening Post recently printed an article written by some senator’s secretary in which it was said that when the Washingtonians had nothing more important to do they went “Fairbanksing.” That means, when translated, that they goto the endless Fairbanks receptions, where there is something to eat and something to drink and a good deal to see and an ever-present suggestion that “we are candidates for president.” Somehow it happens that the newspapers absolutely ref usd to take Mr. Fairbanks’ ambition seriously—that is, of course, excepting the Indianapolis organs.

HIGH LICENSE AND TEACHERS’ PAY.

An effort has been made to convince the teachers in the public schools that the only way to increase their pay is by the passage of a SI,OOO saloon license law. This is merely an evasion of a serious question. No one knows what the effect of a high license law will be in Indiana. The revenue derived from such a law is bound to be uncertain. It may be more or it may be less than that produced by the present law. But no one can say how much more or bow much less. It is all in the air. If the Republican party had managed the state’s affairs with economydnstead of with wasteful extravagance it might now be able to make provision for increasing the pay of teachers without adding to the tax levy. But it did not do this. If the Republican majority in the present legislature really wants td favor the teachers it can do it definitely by cutting down expenses in other directions. it won’t do this, it can borrow money on the state’s bonds or it can make a higher tax levy. Or what is better, it can transfer the 3-cent sinking fund Jevy, which produces $500,000 a year, from the general fund to the fund for the benefit of the teachers. The proposition to make better pay for the teachers dependent upon the unknown effect of a license law of questionable utility is little short of an insult.

A UNIQUE NEWSPAPER.

No American who has vieited Continental Europe has failed to see and welcome the European Edition of the New York Herald. It is the first and generally the only newspaper printed in English that greets Bis vessel when reaching port. AJ leading hotels from Calais to Cairo, at the great railroad stations, at any point where tourists gather in numbers, the pleasantly familiar face of this paper is sure to be seen and in almost every case it offers the only printed news worded in English that can be had. The New York Herald is the greatest newspaper in the worldgreatest in enterprise, greatest in business. Its European Edition is equally a leader in its field. No other newspaper anywhere is read by so large a percentage of people of wealth and social, political and business prominence. It is taken in every court in Europe. It is on the table of every diplomatist of significance. It gets to the hands of every man or woman who cuts any considerable figure in the movements that sway empires or affect industries. No one who has not traveled abroad can fully appreciate the thrill of pleasure that comes from a meeting with such a newspaper. The news of the world and particularly the news of America! It is like a visit from a friend. It sits with the tourist at table, a welcome guest. It reaches him when he has money to spend, and when he is glad of a hint as to how to spend it wisely. The publication office of the European Edition of the New York Herald is in Paris, 49 Avenue de I’Opera. Visiting Americans are invited to register their names there. All names so registered are printed in the columns of the European Edition of the Herald and cabled for simultaneous publication in the New York Herald. Names of tourists registered at the Herald office in Paris are also transmitted to their home paper. No wonder that Americans abroad look upon the office of The Herald, in Paris, as a headquarters and regard the paper itself so highly.

THIS YOURSELF.

For those who have any form of blood disorders; who want new, rich blood and plenty of it try this: Fluid Exract Dandelion, onehalf ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, . three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Any good pharn macy can supply the ingredients at small cost. This is the prescription which, when made up, is called “The Vegetable Treatment;” by others, the “Cyclone Blood Purifier.” It acts gently and certainly does wonders for some people who are sickly, weak and out of sorts, and is known to relieve standing cases of rheumatism and chronic backache quickly. Make some up and try it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. Special Correspondence to The Democrat. A number of sensational papers have been trying hard this week to prove the imminence of war between this country and Japan. Of course, the public school case in San Francisco is still unsettled, and there have been a number of Japanese held up recently by the immigration inspectors on the Pacific coast for the violation of the alien contract labor law. Altogether things are not so placid as they might be between this country and Japan, and the yellow papers have taken pains to magnify every incident anti to insist that not only is war imminent, but that both this country and Japan are preparing for it 'by strengthening their armies and navies, and making other preparation! for a sanguinary conflict. Denials of these stories have been given out both at the White House and the War Department, but the mere fact that the government took the trouble to deny, them only served to lend them a color of possibility. The situation is simple and might as well be explained so that no one else will lose sleep over the prospect of an immediate yellow invasion. Japan has no more idea of war with this country than we have of a war with England. Relations have been somewhat strained, not between the two governments, but between the mass of the Japanese population and the residents of the Pacific slope who regard the Japanese much as the people of the south regard negroes, and who want none of them except as laborers on the railroads and farm hands. Both the government of this country and that of Japan are fully alive to the situation and efforts are being made now to adjust matters satisfactorily by treaty so that there will be no Japanese exclusion act passed shutting out the Japs from this country on the same basis as Chinamen are now excluded. Much has been made of the reported activity of the Japanese in Hawaii, where it was declared they bad already perfected a military organization, and were ready to capture the island as soon as the signal should be given by their home government. Commissioner of Immigration Sargent has recently returned from Hawaii, and a prominent Hawaiian planter, Lorin Thurston, is now in Washington on business with one of the Departments. Both of these gentlemen have given out statements fully covering the situation in Hawaii, and agreeing in all essential details. They say there is a population of about 60,000 in the Hawaiian islands and that the planters there wish there were more. They are necessary as field hands and laborers and are the only source of labor supply, as Hawaii is entirely cut off from European immigration. Nevertheless these Japanese are not allowed to remain in peace in Hawaii where they are wanted, but are being continually enticed to the Pacific coast by immigration agents who thrive by hiring them out to the railroads and big ranchmen of California, Washington and Oregon. There is a scarcity of labor on tha coast as there is over much of this country just now and while the Californians do not want the Japanese in their schools and do not want to allow them social equality, they are glad enough to have them as laborers. The disturbance over the Japanese school question in San Francisco has inflamed the minds of the Japanese at home and there is, it is true, considerable anti-American feeling in Japan, but it is the wish and would be to the advantage of both countries to allay this irritation and if the matter could be dropped by the newspapers the State Department and the Japanese foreign office would have little trouble in adjusting their differences. t t t Orders have been given by the Panama Canal Commission for the collection of samples of sand, dirt and gravel, from along the line of the big ditch and of other points in the canal zone with a view to having them analyzed in this country to see whether there may not be a considerable amount of gold and other valuable minerals dug out in the construction of the canal. An effort is being made to secure an appropriation of $5,000 to have these analysises made at the Jamestown exposition where the government is now putting up its apparatus for the analysis of “black sand.” This black sand work has been carried on for two years past at Portland, Oregon, and has proved of immense value, allowing the separation at a very small cost of gold, platinum, iron ore, circon and a number of the rarer minerals from ground hith-

erto considered worthless It has slways been known that there was gold on the Isthmus of Panama. There are good paying placers that have been worked for fifty years in Nicaragua, north of the canal zone and there are almost equally good gold fields to the south. Old records show that there were once profitable placer workings at the very summit of the great Culebra and if the government finds it possible to recover this gold at small expense it may go far toward defraying the cost of the canal. The commission is not saying much about the investigation; but it is being carried on nevertheless and should it prove that there is a bo-, nanza in valuable minerals along the line of the proposed canal, the republic of Panama and the old French construction company will have every reason to be very sorry that they ever sold out to the United States. 111 It is understood that the bassoon playing mayor of San Francisco and the board of education are coming to Washington by invitation of the president to have a consultation on the question of the Japanese exclusion from the public schools. It is believed that the president will capture the bunch, at any rate it will benefit the Californians to emerge for a moment from their occidental provincialism.

THE WAY BRO. MOORMAN VIEWS IT.

*' Starke County Republican: Society of the high and mighty brand is knee deep in clover. The Thaw trial is at last under pro- ! gress, and the papers are about ready to print the scalacious details which the examination of witnesses is sure to develop. Thaw is the soiled son of aristocracy who gained part of his notoriety by his sensational marriage to a soiled daughter of the same social stratum. Later he reached the pinacle of fame by shooting to death one Stanford White, an amorous reprobate of the Tarquin variety. White, it seems, had gained the confidence of Thaw’s wife while she was yet in short dresses, and this at the demand of her mother. ■ ’Tis the old story of high life in New York. All the principals are millionaires, moral degenerates and social celebrities. To what depths they have stooped in the pursuit of perverted pleasure can only be conjectured The Thaw crowd is ; a bad lot, the whole kit and bilin’, and when they get to telling on each other it will require careful ■ censoring on the part of the managing editor who essays to print the news and at the same time not be up for sending obscene literature through the mails.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.

Due To The Use Of Hyomei—Cures Without Stomach Dosing. There has been a marked falling off of sales of catarrh cures in the local stores the past year. Medicines which were formerly purchased in gross lots are now seldom called for, and the druggist rarely buys more than a dozen at a time. Hyomei is a notable exception to this decrease in sales. It is, in fact, largely responsible for the lessened sales of catarrh medicines, as it has cured so many peop'e of catarrhal troubles that naturally there is less call for remedies for that disease. There is no disagreeable stomach dosing with Hyomei. It is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with - every Hyomei outfit. B. F. Fendig gives hie personal guarantee that the money will be refunded unless the treatment cures, so that you run no risk at all in buying this reliable remedy. The, complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1; extra bottles, if needed, 50 cents
