The work of redeeming Indiana from bad and extravagant government has only been begun. The election of a Democratic governor was a long step but it must be followed up by electing a legislature thoroughly in accord with the governor’s business policies, and by putting men in the state offices who will aid him in carrying out the promises that the Democratic party has made to the people.

The late session of the legislature demonstrated several things, but it proved one With special emphasis, and that is, that if the people of Indiana want a return to economical government they must give the Democratic party control of both branches of the legislature and possession of the state offices. By doing this Governor Marshall’s policies can be made more effective than is possible otherwise.

Governor Marshall is quoted in a Washington interview as saying that he believes the principal plank in the next Democratic national platform will be a tariff for revenue plank. He is also quoted as saying that "In my opinion we shall never have a proper settlement of this tariff question until business is taken out of politics and politics is taken out of business—in other words, until we have a tariff scientifically and accurately constructed on a basis of tariff for revenue only.” Of course, the governor is right. And what is more, the whole country is at last beginning to view the tariff question in the same way.

Let the women‘study the tariff question. The more they learn about it the more they will want their husbands, brothers and sweethearts to vote the Democratic ticket. When this Payne bill has been passed and signed by the president, every woman in the county should get a copy of it and read it. She can then readily figure out where she gets “her’n.” And then she should get the aforesaid husband, brother or sweetheart to read it so that they can see where they get “thelr’n.” From present indications the Dingley law, with all its pilferings and larcenies, might claim some respectability in com* parison with this new tariff bill.

THE PEOPLE'S BURDENS.

The German-American Democratic club of Indianapolis, in a meeting held last week to consider the forthcoming city campaign, adopted resolutions which contained the following: "It has in latter years, as concerns the management of public business —from the national government down to the township—-be-come a fad, a mania, to increase expenditures absolutely without regard to receipts. "This practice has led to an Increase in the rate of taxation, an Increase in our bonded indebtedness, or both; and, has brought not only the national government but also many state, county and municipal governments practica"y to a condition of insolvency. “The burdens heaped upon an al-

ready overtaxed people are largely responsible for the deplorably depressed conditions now existing upon every hand. “These practices have continued until an overburdened public finds that forbearance has almost ceased to be a virtue.” The resolutions then went on to demand the nomination and election to office of men who are not only pledged to, but are known to stand for economy in the transaction of public business. It is becoming clearer every day that the people are waking up all along the line on the question of the burdens imposed upon them by official abuse of power. The Democratic party in Indiana has for years been making a fight against extravagance and unnecessary taxation, and it proposes to keep it up until there is real reform.

The wheat gamblers raise the price of bread without benefittlng either the farmer, the miller or the baker. The meat trust raises the price of meats without benefittlng the farmer or the butcher. The vegetable and iru'-t trusts raise the price of those articles without helping the producer. And so It goes through the whole list of food stuffs. It Is only In "free America,” under Republican rule, that the people are allowed to be robbed and oppressed at their very tables. In some countries the man who attempts to “corner” food stuffs Is sent to prison. In some other countries this class of gentry, one of these days, will be hung—either judicially or otherwise.

THE PEOPLE’S MONOPOLY. J. Pierpont Morgan, who has made more money off the government than any other man in the country, owns a lot of “art treasures” which he has gathered up in Europe and stored in a London mansion. He has kept these “treasures” .on exhibition, and ' frequently London dispatches tell us about this or that “royal” party calling at the Morgan house to inspect his "priceless” paintings, tapestries, statues and curios. But Mr. Morgan has refused to bring these .treasures home to America. He objected to the tariff. The tariff was for the common people, not for Morgan. So, therefore, the new tariff bill is going to allow Mr. Morgan’s “art treasures” to be imported free of duty. Under this new tariff the common people, more than ever before, will be allowed to monopolize the patriotic felicity of paying the taxes which support the government.

REMOVE THE HANDICAP.

The Democratic party in Indiana is committed to the proposition that extravagance in government must be stopped and that no more money shall be taken from the people, by either direct or indirect taxation, than is necessary. The Democratic party stands for the idea that all public Officials shall so discharge the duties of their offices as to burden the people as little as possible. These important things can only be brought about fully by putting the Democratic party in full control of state affairs and holding it to a strict accountability. Governor Marshall has already done a good deal and he will do much more as he has opportunity, but as matters stand he is handicapped. This handicap should be removed at the next election by the choice -of- a legislature and state officers in accord with him. The Democratic party in Indiana is in earnest. It has started out 1 with high resolves and it will keep faith with the people if they give it full power to act.

GOVERNOR MARSHALL TELLS OF TARIFF WAR

Believes Law Will Bring New Alignment of Voters. ENJOYED GRIDIRON DINNER Indianapolis, Ind., April 21. Just returned from the seat of the tariff war, in Washington, Governor Marshall yesterday summed up the situation there as he says it, thus: “It impressed me as would a lot of fellows caught outside when a rainstorm threatens, with only one umbrella to the bunch. As long as the whole number can find shelter beneath it, they are in perfect harmony, but when the crowd gets too thick and some of them are crowded outside, then they begin to fight among themselves. The tariff fight is nothing more or less than a fight among the protected interests to maintain the protection they have and to get more protection. I talked with a number of representatives of special interests who were in Washington to see that they lost none of their protection, and almost all of them agreed that the tariff bill is a special interests measure.

"One bright young Indianian who is there looking after the interests of a business with which he is connected told me he was disgusted with the whole affair and was actually ashamed of his own business. There is no indication, anywhere in Washington, that the interests of the consumer, or the common citizen, are being looked after. Protection for Pineapples. "For instance, they are determined that pineapples shall be protected. Some time ago some capitalists discovered that land in southern Florida, by using about 4,000 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, might be made to produce fine pineapples and they invested their money there'. They are producing pineapples, but to fertilize their land and make their pineapple orchards pay, they must sell their fruit at a very high price. They are after protection and it looks as if they will get it. As a consequence, the people of Indianapolis who buy pineapples will be compelled to pay from 15 to 20 cents apiece for them while, with the duty removed, they could be sent in from Cuba and delivered in Indianapolis so that any child could buy one for a 5-cent piece. That is merely an example of numerous phases of the fight for a high tariff.

"The Aldrich bill will be passed, in my opinion, and I do not believe that it can be altered, and passed, in such a way as to provide any benefit for the consumer.” Sees New Alignment. The Governor sees in the fight in Washington a force which, he believes, will bring a realignment of the voters in the two old parties in 1912. "It may not be sufficient to cause a renaming of either of the parties, but I am convinced that when the tariff bill becomes a law it will bring a new alignment,” he said. “The great trouble in the East at this time is to get men to vote as they actually think, and I believe the passage of the Aldrich bill will overcome this largely. There are a great many Republicans, I believe, who would have been voting the Democratic ticket these many years had it not been for the party name, and I believe that the dissatisfaction which will inevitably result from the passage of the bill will overcome the objections these voters have. I don’t mean to imply that all Democrats, however, are opposed to protection as is expressed in the Aldrich bill, but I believe that if me protectionist-; and anti-protectionists were divided, the great majority would be on the side of the antis.” Pleased with Reception. “I never had a more generous reception-,” said the Governor, “than at the banquet given by the club. I believe the members present belived what I said to be the truth, but am not convinced that they are ready to accept it and act upon it. New York, you know, is a great place for the pocketbook to be kept close to a political policy, and the speech I made could hardly be accepted in its entirety by any one who mixes his business with his national politics. They applauded me generously and I believe they enjoyed hearing me talk. I never was listened to more attentively, but somehow or other, I can’t feel they were deeply impressed with what I said.” From New York the Governor went to Washington, where he spent several days. With Mrs. Marshall, who accompanied him on the trip' he was received by President and Mrs. Taft at the White House, and visited the House and Senate. The Governor was a guest at the dinner given Saturday night by the Gridiron Club, where he went on invitation of James B. Hornaday, of The Indianapolis News. As he recalled the event when sitting in his office to-day, the Governor chuckled.

That Gridiron Dinner.

“A Gridiron dinner,” he observed, "is worth going around the world to attend. I have been a stranger in ’a strhnge land a number of times | and have been treated hospitably in a score of places, hospitality was of just such a satisfactory kind as that the stranger receives when he is received by these Gridiron members. “When in Washington,” he con tinned*, “I spent some time with General Garcia, now minister from Cuba to the United States. I became very much interested in him, and learned that he is coming to Indianapolis soon in the interest of cementing a friendship between this couptry and the new republic. He told me that the greatest trouble now with Cuba arises trom the fact that the number of special interests in the United States are engaged in keeping things stirred up on i the island, with the ultimate view of overthrowing the government. Garcia depends upon a thorough understanding of the people of the island by the people of the United States, and the great part of his i mission here is to make us understand them. He hopes to see Cuba one of the United States, but he wishes her to come in as Texas came in, of her own initiative. “Garcia told me that he had been in Indianapolis on a trip he once made in inspecting prisons of the United States. Incidently he told me that the Indiana State prison, nt Michigan City, was the best institution’ of its kind in the United States.”

There were 463 deaths from pneumonia In March, 1908, and 574 in March, 1909, an Increase of 23.9 per cent. “A blustering, cold M«rch will always drive people indoors and this means an increase in pneumonia,” says Dr. J. N. Hurty secretary of the board. The order of prevalence of diseases was as follows: Tonsilltls, pneumpnla, Influenza, bronchitis, rheumatism, measles, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, whooping cough, diarrhoea, Intermittent fever, diphtheria, chickenpox, erysipelas, smallpox, inflamation of bowels, dysentery, puerperal fever, cholera morbus, cerebro spinal meningitis, cholera infantum, typho-malarlal fever. The number of cases of smallpox reported was 121, with no deaths. The number in March, 1908, was 284', with 2 deaths. There were 168 cases of typhoid fever, with 31

deaths, as compared with 245 cases and 45 deaths in the corresponding month last year. Consumption caused 410 deaths. The disease killed 36 fathers in the age period of 18 years to 40 years, and 71 mothers in the same age period. Violence, 10 murders, 33 suicides and the remainder accidents. During the spring every one would be benefited by taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy.
