Because, to use his own language, “most large corporations do a business that is not oonfined to any one state,” Mr. Roosevelt asks that the states shall be denied the right to regulate them and that exclusive control shall be vested in the national government. You don’t hear any objections from the “large corporations,” do you? It will be nice and tidy for them if they can get everything down at Washington where the Joe Cannons run the law-making, aided by the Jim Watsons and other big and little creatures of the trusts.

There was another saloon brawl at Hammond Monday night that is likely to result fatally for one of the participants. Lake county is certainly the most lrfwloss section of Indiana and the wide-open saloon policy there is largely responsible for this deplorable state of affairs. Murders, criminal assaults upon women and mere children are of frequent occurrence, The jail at Crown Point is full to overflowing and is to be enlarged to make room for more criminals. And still a great many escape the officers of the law and are never apprehended. The assailant and murderer of the little girl near Gary a couple of weeks ago, which aroused the whole country, is still at large with no hope of over being captured. In the meantime the saloons, brothels and gambling hells of the county never close their doors, and criminals are being turned out at au alarming rate while the worst criminal element in the whole county flock there in great numbers. Governor Hanley’s "reform” measures seems to be an unknown quantity in Lake county.

SAME OLD GAME

Mr. Cortelyou, President Roosevelt’s secretary of the treasury, seems to understand his part of the corhedy that the national administration is playing. Cortelyou’s part is a “practical” part and he isletter-perfectinit. Mr. Roosevelt, in his Provinoeton speech, to gain the further applause of the multitude, thundered against Wall street! I&i fepptelyou, immediately after that jpeeeh, took his key ill hand, unlocked the vaults in wtrich the 'jttjtac'.fritihey was k os andilhhWed; grefd heaps of And thefl the sspedulpttQrsismlled.

tion” when Mr. Roosevelt “sternly” refused to listen to his appeals for the money interests was s part of it. /The men who play it expeot the people to be deceived by it. A few will be. There are some persons who have infinite capacity along the line of gullibility. But tbe majority of men are not built that way.

WATCH THE PLAY

Tbe Democratic members of tbe congress, which meets Deo. 2, will face a peculiar situation. In view of tbe presidential campaign tbe Republtcanswill play politics from the start. They will try to gain two points, which they regard as essential to their suooess at the election. In tbe first place, they will seek to win the favor of the people by offering “reform” bills of one kind and another, as President Roosevelt —playing his part —will indioate in hia message, In the next plaoe, these “reform” bills will not be passed and thus Wall street and the trusts will be placated. This part of the play is to be in the hands of Joe Cannon, speaker of the house, aided by the trust senators. That this is to be the program is shown by a Washington dispatoh to the Indianapolis Star. The dispatch says: “It has been known for some time that “Uncle Joe” intended the coming session to do litttle besides pass the approprirtion bills and mark time. He does not propose to be a party to the passage of what he calls “damphooi Roosevelt orank bills” on the eveof tbe presidential and congressional elections of next fall. He has the support in this attitude of most of the Republican leaders in the senate as well as the house. These men are thoroughly praotioal politicians and they will take no ohances of oreating further business disturbance by legislation hostile to corporations or great financial interest® of other kinds, no matter how vigorously the president may urge such legislation in his annual message to congress in December. “The bills that will be introduced to carry out the president’s ideas are to suppliment all legislation for corportion control, but will probably never be allowed to get out of the committees to which they will be referred. The leaders won’t permit debates on the disquietiug subjects if they can help it.

"This at least is their present plan, and they believe the president himself will be so anxious ’or Republican success next year that he will not dare attempt to ores their hands and compell congress to pass the supplemental corporation legislation which his recent speeches show he would ike to see enacted. “Even if the president should insist the congressional leaders will stand out against him and they expect to have the pretty substantial actions of the Republican rank and tile in both houses in their attitude of oppositian to a rolioy that would not only disturb lusiness but shut off campaign contributions to both the national committee and the congressional campaign committee.” There is hardly a doubt that this is the Republican program. Mr, Roosevelt’s bluffs are expected to hold the people while "Uncle Joe” and the others will stand by the corporations in consideration that they make their usual campaign contributions. The Democrats in congress must watch this game carefully and see to it that the Republicans are put squarely on record and that their hypocrisy is exposed so clearly that even a running man may read.

CATARRH IS CURABLE.

Successful Experiments In Abating and Curing This Disease. * Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomej is so generally known and has made so many cures in Rensselaer and other towns. Untilcomparatively reoent times catarrh was thought to be a blood disease and stomach dosing the only treatment. Modern science finally disproved this idea of the cause of oatarrb, and found that it was a germ disease and, after many experiments, the remedy was deoided to be Hyomei. Hyomei medicates tbe air yon breathe; it kills the catarrh germs; it heals the smarting and raw membranes of the passage in the nose and throat; it cures all catarrhal troubles. As there is life and health in tbe air in the mountain-tops where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing balsams, so there is life and health in breathing Hyomei. There is no need of suffering from catarrh if the simple and natural treatment of Hyomei is used. So sure is the prescription to oure even the worst cases of catarrh, that B. F. Fendig sells it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it.

TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT.

When you have a legal notice, suoh as notice of appointment as executor or administrator, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notipe that the clients themselves control, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Demoert, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much less for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County Democrat.

FORTY-FOUR.

Time goes ou a little faster, though my steps are growing slow, But the sun still shines in splendor and still sets in golden glow; And old friends, old times, old mem'ries grow still dearer unto me As X walk the sunset roadway leading to eternity. Home scenes grow a little dearer with the close of each long day, Sweeter grows iny children’s laughter as I watch them at their play, And I take my ease at twilight, sitting by my cottage door, Thanking God that life is spared me and I'm young at forty-four. Sweeter grows the soff caresses as my children’s Ungers twine Through the silver threads that gl’.sten in this graying head of mine; Softer, sweeter grows the music as Dame Nature sweeps the strings Of the windharpsin the forests till the earth with rapture rings; Softer grow the suuset colors as the sun sinks into rest In a couch of fleece-olouds downy in the dim and distant west; And I sit while twilight shadows oreep across my cottage floor, Thanking God for home and loved ones at the age of forty-four. Life is always what you make it—you may build for weal or woe. Rough the road; or smooth, my brother—it depends which way you go. Love anil laughter smooth the pathwaysighs and groans will make it rough; You can see more flowers blooming if you’ll just look long enough. And as you pursue your journey, hand in hand with those you love. You will seethe sun shine brightly though the dark clouds hang above. Swift the years go gliding by me, but I heed their flight no more— .■ ■ __ I’m too thankful for my blessings at the age of forty-four. -Ex.
