The editorial about The Democrat in the Fowler Leader last week is now easily accounted for. When an editor has to stand up on account of physical infirmities inflicted by an infernal trust-busting broncho, he can not be blamed much if he gets “butternut brown” ideas in his thinking apparatus and expresses them on paper. But John should take his spite out on the broncho, and not on us. We didn’t tell it to kick him, and in fact didn't know it was going to until we read it in the paper. The receiver recently appointed for the Indianapolis Star, the Muncie Star and the Terre Haute Star has filed his report showing the assets to be $225,513.31 and the liabilities to be $886,799.07. Excess of liabilities over assets, $661,285.76. And no account is taken of the $1,000,000 of capital stock outstanding, which would increase the liabilities an even $1,000,000, or make the total liabilities over all assets $1,661,285.76. If we owed that much money we’d feel like throwing up the sponge.

"Can the republican party afford to be doing business with the ‘lnterests’ this year?” wails the Indianapolis News— always reliably republican when the campaign opens. How can the republican party afford to do anything else? Having lived for years wholly on Ipot that it had very considerately placed the tariff barons and their allies, the criminal trusts, in a position to extort from a long-suffering public, who else could it be expected to do "business” with? Does the News expect it to turn down its best and only friend? Men representing the "Interests’' have had

absolute control of the party since 1868. They have financed every campaign. They have dictated every republican candidate for th® presidency from Grant to Roosevelt, and they will dictate the candidate at Chicago June 16. They have put their trusted lieutenants in Congress, wheh not there in person, and no bill is or has been allowed to be made Into law without the O. K. of the "Interests” had been first secured. Every tariff bill, every financial bill that has been made Into law—not excepting the abortion signed by Roosevelt Saturday night—has been dictated by the'“lnterests.” In short, If there were no “Interests” there would be no republican party. Destroy one and the other will be wiped off the face of the earth! Who else is there then for the republican party to do “business” with?

EASY TO CURE CATARRH.

Just Breathe in Hyomei, the Dry Air That Kills the Germs. You can do exactly what G. J. Sterers did by using Hyomei. Read this: “After having suffered from chronic catarrh for years, for which I tried various remedies without success, I became almost discouraged. After reading about Hyomei, I decided to make one more effort to rid myself of the dread disease, and to my great delight I found the use of two bottles of the Inhalent sufficient to produce a complete cure. I now take pleasure in recommending this remedy to all sufferers from catarrh.”—G. J. Sterers, Crown City, Ohio. We don’t simply say Hyomei will cure catarrh, but we say that B. F. Fendig, the druggist, guarantees it to cure catarrh, or money back. He does more—he guarantees it to cure asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, colds and coughs. A complete Hyomei outfit, including Inhaler, costs only SI.OO, and extra bottles, if you afterward need one, will cost but 50 cents. Hyomei is a pleasant dry air treatment. You just breathe it in and as it passes over the inflamed membrane, it kills the germs of catarrh, and allays all inflammation.

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. Fairbanks-Morse Gas Engines set the pace! Keep these facts before you as you may need one at any time. WHITE & HICKMAN.

MONEY TO LOAN IMMEDIATELY. I have $500.00 to place at once on real estate. Any one wanting $500.00, call and get terms. B. F. FERGUSON.

THE DISSATISFIED MULE. I has a mule mlt great big ears. He Ilves to me next door. For dere I has a sta-.e built Against my grocery store. I gK him oats, I gif him corn, Und all vat mules can eat; I has a blanket for his back. End shoes brotect his feet. His saddle fits him all around, Life paper on de wall, 1 take it oft venefer he eats Inside his whitewashed stall. His bed is made of stubble straw. So in winter he don’t freeze; In summer he looks the window oud i’nd enchoys the efening breeze. I brotect him tight, mit lock und key, De door he cannot pass; Us I did not, dot foolish mule Would get oud on the grass. He works from morning till in night, 1 do not let him stop; So long dot he behaves disway, He nefer lose his chob. I didn’t hear him grumble once, He minds me as I liek; “Brotection" makes him satisfied, He doesn’t want to "strike.” Vot for I brotect dot mule, Und gif him dings vot’s goot? Vy stroke his ears and pat his head, Vlch looks like gratitoot? I tell you vy, if you keep still, Und don’t say it oud of school. I gif “brotection" efery time, Because I ride dot mule. It was so in de Faderland, I find it yet dis day, * He who brotects, gits hold de reins, Und makes de mule obey. My mule is like some workingman Who gits a chob to pull, Or has a saddle on his back, So his "dinner" pall gits full. Who votes de ticket efery time, Whose heart is full of charity For all the loafers riding him, Who brag of "our Brosperity." If my old mule had half de sense Vot workingmen dink dev’ve got, He'd life his legs und take good aim, Und kick my dam brains oud. “Vy don’t he kick?" some people say, "Und get oud on the grass?”* My mule don't know to help himself. His fader was an Ass. —By H. V. Hetzel, of Johnstown (Pa.) Democrat.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

s Britain’s New Premier. Herbert H. Asquith, the new prime minister and first lord of the admiralty of Great Britain, has been chancellor of the exchequer In the Campbell-Ban-nerman cabinet since December, 1906, when it was formed. During the illness of Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man, whom he succeeds, he has officiated as spokesman for the government The new premier is a Yorkshireman, about fifty-six years old. He was a protege of the late William E. Gladstone, whose attention was attracted to him by a speech he made at a dinner of the Eighty club a good many years ago. Mr. Gladstone saw the pos-

sibilities in the young man, and Mr. Asquith’s political future was assured from that time. He is a remarkably able lawyer, with a fondness for epigrams, and is considered one of the keenest debaters the commons has known since Mr. Gladstone. He is a hustler, too, for* all bis calm demeanor, and is always at work. He has been a busy man since he was sent to parliament in 1886 from East Fife, when Mr. Gladstone at once took him off the benches and made him secretary of state for home affairs. Mr. Asquith is a man of strong likes and dislikes, one of his pet aversions being the house of lords. Whenever occasion arises he advocates its abolition

An Expert on Manuscripts. Herbert Putnam is doing very well with the library st congress, and be never did a better thing tor it than when he secured Worthington C. Ford as the head of the manuscript department. There among the stacks he keeps his eye out tor manuscripts. His father during his long association with Greeley ip the Tribune accumulated a lot of pamphlets and some manuscripts, but Worthington buys something worth while for the government. He has enriched the library, and he himself Is so rich in his learning that congressmen have to take him on faith. Th.ey go up to his desk, and in the presence of a constituent they timidly pretend to a friendship with him that they know is hollow, and they hurry away lest he should find them out. Out of his presence they tell their constituent what a great man Ford is, just as if they knew all about it Malcolm Ford, Paul Leicester Ford anjl Worthlngtop C. Ford—three brothers, all admirable in their way, and now Worthington Is working on alone and Is doing bis useful job very well up in the library of congress.— Harper's Weekly.

Judge Gray of Delaware. Judge George Gray of Delaware, whose friends intend to present his name to the national Democratic convention at Denver next July, is well qualified to fill any position to which he may be chosen. The record of his public service Is long and creditable. Judge Gray is a native of Delaware, by profession a lawyer, and is sixtyeight years old. From 1885 to 1899 he represented his state in the United States senate and since the latter year has been United States circuit judge of the Third judicial district. President Cleveland signed his nomination to be chief justice of the su-

President Roosevelt appointed him chairman of the anthracite coal strike commission, which in 1902-3 sent 170,000 men back to labor at increased wages and better living conditions. Judge Gray is unalterably tpposed to the admission of Asiatic abor into this country.
