As the packers do uot want to pay for cattle until they have been inspected after slaughter, it is suggested that purchasers of can--11 ed meats should uot pay for them until ho finds what they are made of,

The profits of the steel trust last year amounted to more than the wages paid to its employes. The tariff “protects” the trust, but it does not protect laboL The old myth that the tariff induces the “infant industries” to pay higher wages to their employes was long ago exploded.

When you see it in the Indianapolis News or in the Indianapolis Star, it is not a bad idea to remember that Collier’s Weekly says that Chides W. Fairbanks owns the former and holds (or did hold) the bonds of the latter. Of coarse the News and Star, under .such conditions, are “fer him.”

Two years ago there were 150 federal inspectors, costing $1,300000 a year. Now there is an army of them, spendings9,ooo,ooo a year. This army will increase, if present centralizing policies prevail, until the country will swarm with officials who are responsible only, to the authorities at the national capital. When t hat time comes local eelf-govren-ment will be only a recollection.

Jt is said to be the Republican program to do nothiug toward revising the tariff next winter, but to put a revision plank in the next national platform. But suppose this is done, then wbst? A tariff "reformed” by “its friends,” for its friends —the trusts —is not reformed at all. The present tariff must be reformed by its enemies, just as other iniqnitus things must be reformed by their opposers. In no other wuy can real jnstice be done.

Mr. Roosevelt does not Bay that he wants the government to own the railroads. All he wants is that the states shall be stripped of all power to interfere with them and that the general government will get possession without cost. It is really a happy thought. It beats any form of government ownership by direct, honest buying all hollow. Besides, it will knock another big bole in the constitution that Mr. Roosevelt finds so much in the way.

~ """ . A Washington dispatch to a Republican paper says: attorney General Purdy, who has charge of the government's trust prosecutions, said

today after a talk with the president that the recent newspaper stories that several big trusts are soon to be attacked in the courts are guess-work. Probably additional suits will be begun, be said, but nothing definite has yet been decided upon. It will be remembered, of course, that the trusts are to be bu|ted, just like the tariff is to be reformed—by "their friends.”

When asked the other day in Richmond, Va., regarding his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, Mr. Bryan is reported to have eaid: “I have not felt it was time to decide that yet. The only condition upon whioh I would consider the candidacy would be whether I could advance the cause of Democracy by being a candidate. No man’s ambition should be considered on any other condition.” Has anyone heard of any Republican candidate taking such an unselfish view of this important matter?

Oxford Tribune (Rep): A few conscientious newspaper men in Indiana are willing to accord all praise to President Roosevelt and the great movements of which he has been the instrument, but are uot willing to give him the privilege of expressing his preference as to the man who will follow him. These conscientious newspaper men entertain the opinion,expressing in big words und dignified sentences, that they have sufficient mentality to resent the suggestion that they shall hand their right of free choice over to any guardian, big or little. These righteous guardians of their own sacred rights object to the suggestions of Theodore Roosevelt, but cringe and fawn at the command of the Fairbanks machine: The machine has control of the Republican press of the state and those who read no other do not know the true condition of the political situation.

The beef trust is not “busted.” It is not even cracked and shows scarcely a scratch. It is doing business with as high a hand aB it did before it was “investigated.” The government is paying out several million dollars more a year for inspectors than it formerly did, but the public does not feel the benefit. The beef trust magnates still meet and fix prices of cattle on the hoof and of meat on the block, just as before. The retail meat dealer is not to blame. He is at the mercy of the trust, for it is the trust that sets the prices. But the retailer will be hurt by the increased prices, because many of his customers will either eat less meat or quit eating it altogether until it gets within reasonable reach. -The cattle raiser is not to blame, because the trust fixes the price of his stock. The trust is the responsible pirate, and it never fails to come out with a balance on the profit side of the ledger. .

THE FARMERS SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT.

In a speech at the celebration of the semi-centennial of an agricultural college at Lansing, Michigan, May 31, President Roosevelt said: The people of our farming regions must be able to combine among themselves, as the most efficient means of protecting their industry from the highly organized interests which now surround them on every side. A vast field is open for work by 00-operative associations of farmers in dealing with the relation of the farm to transportation and to the distribution and manufacture of raw materials. It is only through suoh combination that American farmers can develop to the full their economic and social power. This declaration is an admission by Mr. Roosevelt that the farmers must organize for self-protection against the trusts and monopolies that have grown up under Republican rule. The “protective” tariff has not given the farmers the slightest protection. On the contrary, it has filched money from their pockets in every oonoeivable way and poured it into the coffers

of the “other highly organized interests which now surround them on every side,” to use the president’s own words. Republican policies produced the very conditions that now threaten the ultimate ruin of the farmers unless the latter combine or vote to ohange the conditions.

HAVE BEEN CONSERVATIVE.

The Republican papers of the state whioh take their cne from the Indianapolis Fairbanks organs or from the traveling agent! of the Fairbanks machine are in a froth. They say that the Democratic papers are “venomously” attaoking Mr. Fairbanks “as if he had already been nominated. ” Asa matter of fact, so far as we have seen, the Democratic press has been exceedingly lenient It is true that for the information of their readers they have told a part of the things that Republican and independent journals have printed about Fairbanks, but the fact that they have not told half of it shows that they have been more than conservative.

If there was a likelihood of a man like Fairbanks being elected president every good oitizen would fail in his duty if he did not do or say what he could to prevent his nomination. But unless the people of this country have changed he would not stand one chance in a thousand of being elected. By all means let the Republicans nominate him, but let them do it with their eyes open. Not only the Democrats, but most of the well-in-formed Republicans who are not under the influence of the Fairbanks organs and the Fairbanks machine know that Mr. Fairbanks is not the sortof a man who ought to be in the White House.

REPUBLICAN OPINION OF THE V. P.

Collier’s Weekly and the Saturday Evening Post, two independent publications with strong Republican leanings, have shown for a long time that they considered the candidacy of Charles W. Fairbanks as little short of an insult to the good sense of the country. The New York Sun and many other out and out Republican papers have taken the same view. Indeed Mr. Fairbanks’ effort to foist himself into the presidency by the free use of his own money and the money of such men as Qarriman, Rockefeller and other public plunderers, • has arroused the bitter opposition of the decent element in the Republican party all over the country. Of course Mr. Fairbanks will have the “solid delegation” from this state. His machine is powerful enough to choke the Republicans into submssion. The Fairbanks press agents are busy and his organs print padded and ridicuously fabulous accounts of the V. P.V “immense popularity” in different sections, but always so far away from Indiana that they are not likely to be contradicted. The following paragraph from a two page article in Collier’s Weekly of June 1, will show, however, how he is generally regarded: In school he was a mollycoddle; in early manhood the favored of rich relatives; as a lawyer, he advanced himself by gfiile and sub* tlety; and in politics he has come to stand for all that is insidious and evil. He buys his way. He trades in legislation. He is partly the tool and partly the subtle leader of moneyed influences that seek to overreaoh the people. Hie record tells the story—his public and offioial record. The paper that prints the above fortifies it by faots. But, nevertheless, Mr. Fairbanks will have the “solid delegation” from Indiana in the Republican national convention.

ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE. The Columbia Literary Sooiety announces its Commencement play for Monday, June 17, when its members will present the stirring drama, “Alexander III.” The scene of this play is laid in Italy in the middle of the twelfth century, a period of intense historic interest and epoch-making deeds. The very name of Frederick Barbarossa, the principal character in the drama, points to things extraordinary. He is the soul of the titanic struggle for supremacy then waged by the Seoulsr against the Ecclesiastical Power. This oentral idea is portrayed admirably well throughout the drama, which, although moving along a high plain of thought, is not of such a classic fiber that it oould not be thoroughly understood and appreciated also by those who are not students of history. In presenting Alexander 111 the Columbia Literary Society is confident in promising its friends some two hours of exceptional entertainment. Play opens at 8 o’olock p. m. Admission 25 oenta.

ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

In no business does experience count for 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 ban 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 bis 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 his 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 hks 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 gp. 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.
