THOMAS CALLAGHAN,

The Republicans of Missouri have instructed their delegates for Taft. This looks like base ingratitude. Wasn’t it Fairbanks who carried Missouri for Roosevelt in 1904? If it wasn’t, the Fairbanks organs have been mightily mistaken, for they have claimed it.

James P. Goodrich, chairman of the Republican state committee, denies that he has any immediate intention of resigning. The report that he would resign followed bis appointment as receiver for a railroad. Perhaps he thinks that receiverships will soon be so common that one more or less will make little difference.

The election of Congressman Dixon of North Vernon as chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee places him in a position of conspicuous honor and responsibility. And what is more, he is, by experience and ability, fully equipped to render his party the most valuable service throughout the campaign.

The death of Andrew Hamilton, the handler of the New York insurance companies’ “yellow dog” fund, recalls the fact that the Republican national committee has not yet returned to the insurance companies the widows’ and orphans’ money stolen by crooked officials and donated to the Republican campaign fund in 1904,.

When you pay your taxes it won't hurt to remember that, among other things, the last legislature added $320,000 to the taxpayers’ burden by creating new offices and increasing the salaries of old ones. The yearly cost of the state adtiitor’a office alone was raised from $19,000 to $51,000 — other things were in proportion, and without reference to the needs of the state’s business.

The last legislature appropriated 158,550 for the use of the governor’s office. When the Democrats were last in power' the appropriation for the governor's office was $13,000. Matthews was the chief executive and Hanly is now. Matthews was a good and thoroughly capable official, and he went out of office with the respect of men of all parties. Hanly's record and the record of the party which put him in office will speak for themselves.

One of the Gould railroads has gone into the bands of a receiver and other lines controlled by the same crowd are under suspicion. The gross earnings of the road for which a receiver has been appointed have averaged $6,500,000 annually and the net earning have averaged $1,150,000. And yet, with such a showing as this, the road failed to pay interest amounting to less than a half million dollars due on its bonds. To outsiders this looks queer but it is doubtless the old game of squeezing out some innocent investors or confiding creditors..

The Democratic state convention will meet in Indianapolis March 25 and 26. It promises to be the biggest and most enthusiastic and harmonious convention ever held by the party in Indiana. There is earnest rivalry for all nominations but it is being carried on with the ntmost good nature by all candidates. The fact that the work of the delegates is to be distributed over two days, instead of being crowded into one as in the past, is a guaranty of both careful action ahd of qomfort to delegates and visitors. When the convert* tion. finishes its work it is not doubted that both ticket and platform will be thoroughly .in line with the beet that there is in the party.

Chairman.

The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Star (Rep.) says that Speaker Cannon will use the “pork barrel” to bribe members of congress to vote for the Aldrich financial bill. The Aidrich financial bill, by the way, is a Wall street proposition, principally a Stock Exchange proposition. Legislation by “pork barrel” bribery has come to be an established custom since the Republican party has controlled congress.

Railroad employers are charging that the companies are violating the “full c»ew” law passed by the last legislature. It is the business' of the railroad commission to correct the abuse but if Governor Hanly can succeed in bis effort to donate the services of the railroad commissioners to the telephone companies at Indianapolis, they will hardly have time to look after the duties for which they are paid by the taxpayers.

After a great deal of trouble the last Republican legislature passed what it called an “anti-trust law.” To carry out the bluff it appropriated $20,000 for the use of the attorney general in enforcing the law. The attorney general immediately issued a manifesto against a few miserable grafting constables who were charged with the measly extortion of illegal fees. The attorney general also tried and helped to convict one lonesome whitecapper. But the trusts — well, they are doing business as usual in Indiana without the 'slightest fear of disturbance.

Now, what do you suppose this means? Captain H. H. Stewart, for twenty years connected with the city government of Kokomo> announced himself as a Republican candidate for representative from Howard cfbunty as an “autiHanly” man, opposed to “Hanlyism,” favoring the repeal of the metropolitan police law, the cities and towns act, etc., etc. His opponent for the nomination was William Morton, a member of the last house, who stood by Governor Hanly like a human rock of Gibraltar. Stewart, 'when the primary election was held, defeated Morton, And the question is, how does Hanly stand with the

SKIN CURE A SIMPLE WASH.

External Remedy for Eczema Sufferers Greatly Simplifies the Treatment. If you are suffering from any burning itching skin disease, the only way to cure it is to’go right after the real trouble—to cure the skin itself. Thousands of patients have suffered for months in vain attempts to doctor their blood when the whole trouble was bacilli feeding upon the skin and causing the unsightly blotches and sores. Skin specialists now prescribe a simple liquid wash, easy to apply,, which gives instant relief. This remedy is composed of oil of Wintergreen to which are added healing vegetable remedies. Oil of Wintergreen alone Will not cure, but a coterie of experts in Chicago, headed by a noted specialist, experimented with other medicinal properties until they found the proper preparation. The result of their efforts is called D D. D. Prescription, a sure specific for the cure of skin diseases. Here is only one instance of what D. D. D. Prescription has done: “My little girl’s head was a running sore. D. D. D. Prescription has cured her sound and well.” —B. L. Hipp, Phil Campbell, Ala. If you are suffering from any skin disease, would it not pay you to try one bottle of D. D. D. Prescription? You probably have spent many times the cost of one bottle vainly trying to stop that awful burning itch. B. F. Fendig, Rensselaer, Ind. Call at our store for a free booklet on the care aud nutrition of the skin with suggestions as to the use of D D. D. Soap. This valuable booklet is absolutely free.
