In a speech at Jamestown, Va., on Decoration day, Mr. Bryan said that we make laws for the Filipinos under which oan people would not live. And that is true, shameful as it is.
When it is remembered that tie railroads have saved more money under the rate law than before its passage, one wonders if there really is any disagreement between them and President Roosevelt. Is it, after all, merely a stage tempest?
It will be a much simpler task for the Democrats to select their candidate for president than it is proving for the Republicans, because theDemocraoy knows what it wants and the g. o. p. doesn’t.— St. Louis Republic. There is a lot of truth in this. The Republican party was never in all its life, so badly' split on every proposition as it is now.
The London papers, which are mostly friendly to President Roosevelt, take different views of his Indianapolis speech, but at least two of thein appear to have “sized it up” with considerable perspicacity. For instance, the Standard thinks the speech is a “decorous retreat from the much advertised campaign against the trusts, with little flourishes, to save his face.” The Daily News is of the opinion that the president is “somewhat on the fence” and that the total effect of the speech is ‘‘rather confusing.” The opinions of the English newspapers are not usually of great importance in this country, but in the present case the Standard and Daily News have hit the nail on the head.
A Washington correspondent has discovered that * ‘after nearly five years of patient investigation, the government is about to take action to break up the anthracite coal trust.” The inquities of this combination were brought into public view during the great strike of the winter of 1902-03, and it was then that the Roosevelt administration began to sit up and take notice. For five long, weary years the government has watched the trust filch money from the people and grow richer day by day. And now, it is said, it is “about" to take action. In the meantime the trust is doing business at the old stand and in the same old way. This '‘trustbusting” administration is something real fierce once it is waked up.
A 1908 QUESTION.
The tariff is bound to out a large figure in the next campaign.
The Republican policy of fixing import duties for the special benefit of a few at the expense of the people has produced the trusts and monopolies, which are driving the people as relentlessly as any overseer ever drove slave at the end of his whiplash. No sensible person believes the Republican party will undo its own wrong. It will not reform the tariff. A tariff “reformed by its friends” for its friends (the trusts), is not reformed at all. And that is all the Republican party has ever said it would —and it would do that much “in its own good time.” With the Democratic party, however, it is different. Says the Brooklyn Citizen (Dem.) “The Democratic party has always been the party of reasonable tariff duties, and on this issue radicals and conservaties are united. It has been well said that all the controversies that now agiI tate the nation lead back to the tariff as the source of the public discontent. “The people are tired of being exploited to make a thousand multimillionaires, while the great mass of citizens find it increasingly difficult, in an age of . monopoly and extortionate prices, to make both ends meet. A readjustment of the tariff with the view of eliminating the trusts and preventing the spoliation of the American people by the beneficiaries of the high protective tariff system, should be the chief aim of the Democratic party in the next national campaign.”
ROOSEVELT ON THE RAILROADS.
President Roosevelt’s Indianapolis speech bears indubitable evidence that it was prepared to make peace with the railroads. No other contraction can be put on it. He declares that he will take no backward step, but insists that in the future he will step softly. He says that there are only a very few wicked railroads, anyhow, and that the great majority of them are as innocent and and blameless as lambs. Mr. Roosevelt continues to demand for the federal government “full power of supervision and control over the railways doing an interstate business,” and “power to extricate supervision over the future issuance of stocks and bonds.” and also “publicity of everything which would-be investors and the public at large have a right to know,” but he proposes to be exceedingly tender in the use of these powets. „ He thinks that there has been “much wild talk” about over-captalization and that up to date all railroad stocks and bonds are actually worth their face, “notwithstanding the ‘water’ that has been injected in particular places. It is Mr. Roosevelt’s opinion (at present) that the interstate commerce commission should have power to employ experts to fix the physical valuation of any railroad when it is deemed worth while, but he does believe (as at present advised) that such valuation can be considered a “sufficient measurement of a rate.”
First and last and all through and finally Mr. Roosevelt assures the railroads that he is the best friend they ever had or perhaps ever will have, and that if they will hitch their wagons to his star they will never have cause to regret it. He also assures investors that there “need be no fear on their part that this movement for national supervision and control over railways will be for their detriment.” By talking up one side of the railroad question and down the other, and then backward and forward and around the circle, Mr. Roosevelt leaves an unpleasant impression of insincerity. It is not what the public would like to expect from him, but it is precisely what the public has come to expect, with abundant reason.

SOME SMASHED MACHINES.
Indianapolis News: Recently a staff correspondent of The Nfws told of the political conditions in Wabash countyshowing that this great Republican county at the election of 1906 was almost turned over to the Democrats because of Republican methods and machine rule. The Wabash Plain Dealer, the organ of the Wabash county machine, devotes several colums to explaining how our correspondent was wrong. Indeed according to the Plain Dealer, there is no Republican machine in Wabash county, which certainly will be news not only to the State at large, but most of all to the people of Wabash county, who fondly believed that they knew a machine whep they saw it. The fact that the Republican majority in that county dropped from about 2,000 to almost nothing (in fact, one Democrat was elected on the county ticket) was caused by—well, real* ly we do not know what! But we desire to call attention to the following statements made by the Plain Dealer concerning other counties near Wabash, some of them in the same congressional district:
Grant county, which in all these years has been running up Republican majorities of from 2,000 to 4,000, in 1906 cut these majorities to zero and elected half the Democratic nominees. In Kosciusko county the Republican majority for the last forty years has ranged from 1,000 to 2,000. In 1906 not only was the Republican majority for the county ticket wiped out, but every candidate on the Republican county ticket, except the man for representative, was beaten, and he was elected only by a majority of thir-ty-five.
Again the county of Huntington, which since 1896 has been Republican by from 600 to 1,200, went Democratic last November, only two or three of the Republican nominees pulling through. Once more: Howard connty has been for a generation reliably Republican, bnt in 1906 the county elected the Republican local ticket by only 300 or 400, against normal Republican majorities of from 1,500 to 2,500.
Exactly. The Plain Dealer sustains the News correspondent. The Republican ring in Grant county has been notorious for years, and the taxpayers revolted. So, too, in Kosciusko county. There three or four men would meet in a back room and make the connty nominations and force them on the people. For years there was a demand in that county that the books be investigated—that ring fule cease—that the machine be smashed. In 1906 the machine was smashed by the Republicans themselves—and an “overdraft” was found in the county treasurer’s office as soon as the books could be opened! It was found that for years a system had been followed of diverting money from the proper funds—"the money was thrown into a tub, as it were, and then ladled out as it was needed,” was the way the county officer explained the system to our correspondent. In the management of county affairs little attention was paid to law. Hnntington county was in the same shape. The demand was insistent that the books be opened. A county commissioner was indicted (he has since been acquitted), gang rule prevailed in Huntington county, and the people revolted. Muck
the same condition existed in Howard county. “Smash the local machine and open the books, so we can find out where our money is going,” was the campaign cry. The Republicans did In other counties of the State the Democrats smashed their machines. Though the Plain Dealer may not know what has happened, or how it happened, other ReputL licans of Wabash county have nd dpubt that the Republicans smashed the machine in that county. There is ample warning in all of these manifestations of independence that corrupt politicians and machine politicians will do well to heed. 1

BRONCHIAL COUGHS.
Breathe tlyomel’s Healing Air and All Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured. The meet irritating and annoying form of cough is that termed bronchial. People subject—to bronchial troubles whenever there is a change in the weather or they are exposed to a draft will “catch” a bronchial cough, which is very disagreeable, irritating and annoying. Bronchial troubles cannot be cured by stomach dosing. The medicated air of Hy-o-mei is the only treatment that reaches the affected parts and gives relief and cure. It destroys all the disease germs that are present in the nose, throat and lungs, soothes and relieves the irritated mucous membrane in all parts of the bronchial tubesand quickly overcomes the irritation. Bronchitis is really an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the air passage and is purely a local disease, so that it needs a local treatment like that afforded by Hyomei. If there is any doubt in your mind as to the power of Hy-o-mei to cure bronchial troubles so that the system yill resist coughs and colds, the unusual way in which it is sold by B. F. Fendig should dispel that doubt. He agrees to refund the money to any purchaser of Hy-o-mei who is not perfectly satisfied with the results following the use of the Remedy. He takes all the risk and if the remedy does not help you it does not cost a penny, while if it cures, the expense is nominal, for a complete Hy-o-mei outfit is sold at only Si.oo
ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
In no business does experience count sot more to both the dealer and the customer than in the implement business. Experience enables the dealer to know the value of goods. He can see at a glance whether they are artistic and will please a discriminating customer; in a word, whether they will satisfy buyers by giving first-class service. The same experience enables him to BUY RIGHT. Then he can SELL RIGHT. It is his larger experience, coupled with his thorough knowledge of the business, that has made C. A. Roberts, the Front street buggy man, so deservedly popular with the discriminating buyers of sightly vehicles. He served his time in a carriage shop way back in the 60s, when an apprentice had to know his business before he could begin work for himself. He put in seventeen years of bis life building and repairing wagons and carriages, and can make every piece in them. He began to sell implements in 1882, and every customer gets the benefit of this long experience every time he shows an article. That is worth something, isn’t it? He sells Studebaker and Page Bros’. Carriages and Buggies, and there are no better, and he has some other makes and styles. Studebaker Wagons, he claims, there are none so good. SUCCESS Return Apron or Litchfield Endless Apron MANURE SPREADERS. They are both all right. McCormick Binders and Mowers. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, and Grain King Shoveling Boards, and there are more of them sold than any other make. You are going to need some of these articles this year, and you will always regret it if you do not go and see Roberts and see his goods before you buy. Paste this in your hat so you won’t forget to go. He will do the rest when you land. Don’t forget the place on Front street and the name. C. A. Roberts, the Buggy Man.
