The homeward tide of foreigners is again on the increase, and last week 17.000 aliens left New York as steerage passengers. Yes, (865,000 is Indiana's share of the public building appropriation, and this vast sum will be available in a few days, or as soon as signed by the President.

Indiana voters should not forget that every congressman from this state, with the exception of Chaney and Gilhans, voted last week for the ship subsidy graft, and every democratic congresman voted against it. Congressman Crumpacker of this district was among the republicans voting for the outrageous bill. Enough republicans joined with democratic members, however, to defeat the steal, the vote standing 145 for to 156 against.

And now comes North Carolina with a majority of 60,000 voting rum out of the state, and this election debars the manufacture of liquors in the state after Jan, 1, 1909. It will be well to remember that North Carolina is a democratic state, too. The school book companies have the Indiana patrons by the throat and force them to give up >700,000 each year.—Oxford Tribune (Rep.) True, and the people should elect a democratic legislature this fall which among other needed legislation will bust the school book trust. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has just “inspected” the Chicago packing houses and found them "in excellent shape.” James Rudolph Garfield found them in a similar shape two years ago, after he had -filled his belly with good things to eat and drink at the Sirloin and Saddle Club..

District Chairman James K. Risk will soon issue the call for the democratic congressional convention, probably to be held at Monon, the most convenient point to reach from all quarters of this outrageously long, narrow and inconveniently arranged district. Mr. Risk really wanted to hold the convention at Fountain during the assembly, in August, but most of the county chairmen seemed to think the date too late, and he has about concluded to caM it for an earlier day, probably some time next month, and name Monon as the place.

The dismissal of a professor from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, for publishing his theories against marriage, and in favor of free love, reads like a libel on the “Prof.” The Captains of Industry, their offspring and the upper tens generally, have set an example of concubinage of late that is shocking to the lower tens. But having little or no money these small fellows’ opinions count for very little in

these matters or any other for that matter. These people, notwithstanding the fact that they are of easy virtue generally, remain prime favorites socially, and many of them are remarkably prominent politically. Money seems to talk. TRUST BUSTING. Another beautiful scandal, showing what kind of a “trust buster” Theodore Roosevelt is, has been made public by Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw of lowa. The facts recited by Mr. Shaw have been known to insiders since the absorption of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Co., by the United States Steel Corporation last winter. The stock of this concern afteij having been liberally watered, was quoted at |l6O per share, before the late “republican panic” temporarily checked the “unparalleled prosperity” we were having, and therefore these fellows had no

trouble at all in securing a loan from the Trust Company of America of New York amounting to some 37,000,000 and securing it with a block of the stock of the company. The loan amounted to 370 a share on the pledged stock, and when the “republican panic” “came out of a cloud,” or from a source that Jim Watson has so far been unable to locate, the price went down to less than 350 a share, and the loan then overdue could not be collected, neither could the stock pledged be sold for enough to pay it.

Something must be done, and at once. Exposure of this state of affairs meant trouble for someone, and so the Trust Company was allowed to go “democratic,” thus getting it into friendly hands, where its rotten condition could be covered up temporarily. John Pierpont Morgan, Interested in all these soncerns, and the savior of the country on many occasions, saw a chance to get the only competitor the U. S. Steel Corporation had out of the way, so he sent 'Judge E. H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of the Steel Corporation to

the White House to see “if there would be any objection to his scheme from that source, as it involved a direct violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. That Judge Gary w&s assured that there need be no fear of the President interfering, Is proven by the fact that almost Immediately after this interview the announcement was made that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway -Co. had been sold to J, P. Morgan and by him transferred to the, U. 8. Steel Corporation. Morgan immediately took up the loan of the T. I. C. & with the Trust Company, thus saving several “friends” of the administration from bankruptcy, and so far there having been no one even threatened with Indictment is pretty good evidence that several more “friends” have escaped prosecution for violating the anti-trust laws in the most shameful manner, and with the direct knowledge of the President, that has been made pub- » lie during this “trust busting” administration. To have this nasty mess made public by a former member of his official family ought to convince the most skeptical that the pretense of Theodore Roosevelt that he is pursuing the trusts relentlessly, is as false as is the pretense that he is a friend of the people. The further fact that from republican sources we hear that “Wall Street” is satisfied with “my candidate Taft” and that Andy Carnegie has contributed >250,000 to the Taft campaign ought to dispel any further doubt as to Roosevelt’s fight on trusts being a farce of the rankest kind.

THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION IS THE RIGHT ONE.

The Republican party has taken a long stride and a firm one forward this year i& declaring for county local option.—Attica Ledger. Yes, a long stride forward in favor of the saloon. "County local option” declared for so those counties where big cities are situated would always remain “wet.” This was thought to make sure republican majorities in Marion, Vanderburg, Vigo, Wayne, St. Joseph, Deleware and even Allen counties. The Democratic position—local option for “wards or townships”— would insure some “dry” territory in every county named. And no one knew this better than the makers of the republican platform.

“They (the prohibitionists) are right in saying that the Democratic party, if put in power, will work for the saloon.”

This from a republican paper supporting the party that gave birth to that howling farce, the blind tiger law, a law which will, according to Judge Hanley, allow a man to keep $ 10,000 worth or any amount of liquor in his house, to give it to his guests and to the members of his family, or household, and it is no crime, or for that

matter nobody’s business. And. this law was passed for the purpose of keeping liquors out of “dry” territory, and to aid in driving out blind pigs and unlicensed rum sellers!

“There are many temperance men in the Democratic party and they will vote the Republican ticket this fall.” Did you ever! There may be some so-called democrats that will vote the republican ticket this fall but they are not temperance democrats and have ribt affiliated with the party in the past, only when their individual or financial interests were in their opinion best served thereby.

The Democrats are not worrying about their declaration for local option in wards and townships. They are well aware of the fact that much more territory can be made "dry” by this method than can be done where the slum districts of cities are allowed to determine the results of an election where a whole county is involved; The Democratic position on this question is sound, while the republican position is on a par with their legislation on the temperance question—a false pretense, a delusion and a snare. It is also false for the Ledger to -say that the prohibitionists favor

the republican declaration on this issue and are against the democratic declaration. It is exactly the opposite, as was shown by the speeches made at the state prohibition convention last week.

CONDITIONS IN LAKE COUNTY.

A republican paper of Lake county, in speaking of the-political conditions there, has the following to say: The assets of any political party are primarily its principles, platform, its past record, and its candidates, the prevailing industrial and sociological conditions previous to and during the campaign. But the prevailing sociological and industrial conditions have at all times been the greatest assets of any party and therefore, because of the long reign if normal conditions, the republicans in Lake county have been able to get in so often that Lake has been admittedly a republican county. if sociological and industrial conditions are each party’s asset, all indications point toward democratic success next fall. That the reigning power will receive the blame for the empty dinner pail goes without saying. How much Lake county republicans are to blame for it will not be asked; there is dissatisfaction and is enough. The Ignorant laboring man who is appealed to with torch lights, speeches and bands, can at no time be caught with these lures with his stomach empty. That organ’s rumblings are louder than the noise made by a brass band. It is a fact based on the evolutionary laws of nature that man needs a change, and it is bound to come despite ail planning to the contrary, and for years there never has been such a clamor for a change as there is to-day.

MI-O-NA MEANS STOMACH COMFORT.

It’s of Special Value to Many Here in Rensselaer. A notable discovery, and one that appeals especially to many people in Rensselaer, is the combination of stomach help in the Mi-o-na treatment. This preparation works wonders in cases of indigestion or weak stomach. , It acts directly upon the walls of the stomach and bowels, strengthening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten without distress or suffering. So positive are the good effects following the use of Ml-o-na that the remedy is sold by B. F. Fendlg under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if It fails to cure. A 50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do the good the stomach needs, which is simply to make it do its own work. • Twenty-five years of honest service, pumping water for multiplied thousands of cattle and other farm animals, Is the STAR Wind Mill’s proud record in Jasper county, At prices that defy competitors; wood or iron wheels.
