The democratic editors of the Tenth District will meet at Lafayette October 20 as. the guests of the district chairman, James K. Risk. It is probable that politics will be discussed a little at this meeting. ° Mr. Risk is a candidate for state chairman, to succeed Wm. H. O’Brian, and has the hearty support of the democracy of his district in his race for the place.

According to the testimony of an official of the Standard Oil company, that monopoly has made $900,000,000 profits since 1882. The profits of the Indiana branch of the concern in 1906 alone were $10,516,082, And yet the Standard Oil company is one of the “infant industries” that the Republican tariff “protects” by a 150 per cent import duty. Does the tariff need reforming?

Now that Harriman has been indicted by the federal grand jury at San Francisco, along with the Southern Pacific railroad, for cutting published rates, he will see what he has come to by breaking off his relations with that other “practical” man, Theodore Roosevelt. The Hon. Paul Morton admitted that be had violated the rebate law, but Mr. Roosevelt kept him in bis cabinet until a place at $75,000 a year could be found for him with an insurance company — at the policyholders’ expense.

In a speech at Nashville, Governor Folk of Missouri, said: Fortified behind the wall of tariff protection, gigantic trusts have sprung up, controlling the necessities of life, whereby the cost of living has been increased enormously during the past few years. Until those tariff privileges are eradicated the trust question can never be settled.” Governor Folk is right. Everybody knows that the Republican method —the Roosevelt method —of busting the trusts does not bust thermal all. It does not even jar them.

President Roosevelt is represented as saying that bis opinion of the Oklahoma constitution is “not fit for publication,” but that as there are no legal objections to it he will promulgate it and allow the new state to enter the Union. Mr. Roosevelt’s personal opinion of the constitution adopted by the Oklahomans by such an overwhelming majority is not important. It is well known that he has a mighty poor opinion of constitutions in general, including.tbat of the United States. He thinks so little of that great charter that he neyer mentions it “for publica-

tion.” Mr. Roosevelt has some excellent qualities, but at the same time he has many glaring weaknesses—one of which is the belief that all authority should rest in the White House while he is president, regardless of constitutions.

The Indiana branch of the Standard Oil company is capitalized at $1,000,000. Last year its profits were more than $10,000,000, which is more than 1,000 per cent. A “protective” tariff duty of 150 per cent gives the Standard a monopoly of the American market and enables it to cheat and swindle the people at will. Bnt the Republican leaders declare that the tariff shall not be reformed ex r cept “by its friends”—and the Standard is surely a “friend.”

To the impartial citizen it looks distinctly unfair for the friends of Roosevelt and Taft to gloat over the troubles that hgp' come upon Vice President Fairbanks because of that cocktail episode. The defeat of Mr. Fairbanks for lay delegate to the general Methodist conference is traced by the RooseveltTaft newspapers to it and they grow hilarious about it. Of course, it is generally known that when President Roosevelt was in Indianapolis to make a speech last Decoration Day he was entertained at luncheon by Mr. Fairbanks. The latter had been in Washington a long time and he certainly knew what sort of solid liquid refreshments would suit the president. In his effort to have everything satisfactory to his distinguised guest, he provided the cocktails, the wines and the brandy digester, as he doubtless had furnished them on many other occasions to other persons too numerous to mention. Outsiders have a right to think of it as they please, but the Roosevelt people should feel estopped, .

MENTIONED AS CANDIDATES.

When the text Democratic state convention meets, the delegates, in cnoosing a candidate for governor, will have to consider the claims of several men of high standing in the party. The men already proposed by their friends for the office are Richard K. ErErwin of Decatur; Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon; Thomas R. Marshall of Columbia City; Daniel W. Simms of Lafayette; John A. M. Adair of Portland; L. Ert Slack of Franklin; Thomas H. Kuhn of Richmond; Mont Hathaway of Winamac; John W. Boehne of Evansville. Other names may be suggested before the convention.

While only two or three of those mentioned have openly declared themselves candidates, it is known that others are consulting their friends with a view to determining their course. The outlook for Democratic success in 1908 is so promising and the public need of it so urgent that the honor of leading the party forces in the campaign is considered a high and important one and the rivalry for it will doubtless be keen when the convention assembles.

Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats are not troubled with warring factions. There will bi- active candidacies, but no bitter dissensions such as are tearing the Republican party to pieces. There is every indication that the Democrats of Indiana will be thoroughly united for an aggressive and winning fight, carried on with old-time enthusiasm.

MUCH CONCERN FELT.

Ordinary Methods for Treating Catarrh Prove Unsuccessful. Recent statistics showing an increase in catarrh have shaken the confidence of medical men in the usual prescriptions to safeguard human health from the ravages of this disease. When stomach dosing proved ineffective, it was natural to look for some other treatment, and it is believed that in Hyomei an absolute cure for all catarrhal troubles has at last been found. Breathed through a neat pocket inhaler, its healing medication reaches every spot where there are catarrhal germs, destroys them, prevents their future growth, and soothes the irritated mucous membrane so that relief is felt almost instantly, while lasting cure is practically sure to follow. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI.OO, and is sold by B. F. Fendig under an absolute agreement to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. It is the only cure for catarrh that has ever been sold under a guarantee to cost nothing unless it cures, but B. F. Fendig has so much faith in its power to cure all catarrhal troubles that he is willing to take the risk, so if Hyomei does not help you, there will not be a penny's expense. Get an outfit at once on this liberal plan.
