The Standard Oil company reduced the price of oil last week. Before it did so, however, it was thoughtful enough to cut down the price paid for crude petroleum. In this way the profits were kept at the old figure and the Standard gave renewed evidence that it is a business and not a benevolent institution.

Former Representative Charles B. Landis, of Delphi, is here, coming specially for the banquet given by the ship subsidy promloros.—Washington Dispatch. It is evident from this that the Hon. Charles B. is not going to seek re-election to congress—at least not in Indiana. The ship subsidy graft is too well known in this state for that.

The 'Btau.nct) Democratic manufacturer, Ex-Governor Douglas of Massachusetts, has said that if congress would give him free hides it could take the tariff off of shoes. But congress refuses to do either. It proposes to keep the tariff on both hides and shoes. This doesn’t do anything, however, but make the people’s shoes cost a lot more than they should cost and a little thing like that does not worry congress.

STILL IN THE WOODS.

Senator Beveridge’s lieutenants in Indiana are declaring in a loud tone of voice that his opposition to some of Boss Aldrich’s tariff proposals will be a great help to him in his race for re-election. But what will they say when he votes for the bill when put on its passage? He now assails it, but is certain to vote for it in the end because it is a “protection” measure after ail and he is a "protectionist.” The people are being skinned alive and Senator Beveridge not only knows it, but admits it, yet, as it is being done in the name of “protection" he will help to saddle it on the masses whether or no. Ear be it from us to withhold from the senator a jot or title of what may be his, but he is not getting himself out of the tariff woods.

DEPORTING FOREIGN FELONS

Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board of state charities, is preparing to take up, at once an inquiry at the state prison to ascertain whether or not any of the foreign born inmates may be deported under the federal law which provides that any person convicted of a felony within three years after his arrival in the United States may be deported. The Inquiry is to be made at the request of Governor Marshall, who desires to relieve the state of the expense of caring for such prisoners and. to relieve the commonwealth of being inflicted with their presence after their release. Similar action taken in New York recently resulted in 319 of the 990 foreign convicts being deported.—lndianapolis News. If all of the fellows who are alleged to have committed felonies at the election in Lake county last fall had been convicted it would require a good-sized ship to carry them all: across the Atlantic.

THE MASSES ALL RIGHT.

Louis Ludlow, the gifted and entertaining Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Star, is working hard to create the impression that thp Democratic party has gone to pieces because certain senators, elected as Democrats, have voted contrary to the Democratic national platform. It the Democratic party were dependent for its existence upon these recreant senators Mr. Ludlow i would be justified in his conclusions. But it is not so dependent. The senator or representative who votes contrary to Democratic principles is merely an irritating political excresence and as such he will be sloughed off. A man who can not be trusted to be a Democrat on the tariff issue can not be trusted to be a Democrat at all. But the great masses of Democrats the country over are sound to the core on the tariff question and they will take care that those who are not in accord wfth the party’s attitude are put where they can do no harm.

LOOKING AHEAD.

The Indianapolis News credits the Anti-Saloon League with an Intention to ask both the Republican and Democratic parties to adopt a plank in their next state platforms In favor of state prohibition. As nothing was said about asking the Prohibition party to make such a declaration, it is not known just where, in the opinion of the League, that organization is to come in. As the anti-saloon forces worked hand in. hand with the Republican party in the late state campaign and gave that party’s candidates their support, they have some claim upon it in making preparations for their prohibition campaign. But they have none upon the Democratic party, which they viciously assailed because it would not depart from its longsettled policy of declaring the principle of local self-government. Of course the campaign of 1908 has passed into history, but the last expression of the Democratic state convention is, if platforms still, mean something, party law until it has been changed by the power that made it. The convention of 1910 will take such action as pleases it, but it will hardly contend with the Republicans for the doubtful honor of robbing the Prohibition organization of its one little ewe lamb. Nor can it, with any sort of self-respect, beg leave to consort with the Republicans in their chosen pasture, however, green and juicy it may seem at first blush. Mere expediency has never been a besetting Democratic sin.

ABOUT FREE HIDES.

Ex-Governor W. L. Douglas of Massachusetts, one of the largest manufacturers of shoes in the United States, has an interesting article in the June number of the National Monthly in which he shows up the tallacy of the beef trust’s plea for retaining the tariff on hides because ot the trust’s love for the farmer. Among other things, Mr. Douglas says: “Isn’t this clear? Isn't it beauti-ful-This solicitude of the packers lor the tanners? The packers want the hide duty retained so that they v, ill have to pay higher prices tor cattle. How they do love the farmer! ■ "As a matter of logic as Well as ot fact, the beef packers pay as little as possible for hides. The price of cattle depends mainly upon the demand for beef and the price of hides depends mainly upon the deuiand for leather. Hides, being an incidental or by-product of the butchering business and cattle being slaughtered primarily for beef, it is absurd to suppose that a duty on bides will materially change the* prices paid for cattle. We may be certain that the packers would favor free Hides if they thought that free hides would appreciably lower the prices of cattle. Recently we have heard reports that the Beef Packers were becoming interested in the shoe manufacturing business. To what extent, if any, the packers have become manuturers of shoes, Ido not know. It seems clear to me, however, that the almost inevitable result of continuing the present policy of taxed hides and leather is to throw the entire leather tanning and shoe manufacturing business into the hands of the Beef Trust, which has, through its slaughtering interests, control of the country’s hide supply, and can dictate prices. I predict that, if the duties on hides and leather are continued ten years longer, not only will the monopoly of the tanning industry by the Beef Trust be complete but the boot and shoe Industry will then be a part of the tarifffostered and tariff-nourished Beef Trust.”

THE GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS.

During the late presidential camgaign the Democratic party in this state and in the national platform advocated the guaranteeing of deposits in banks. The Republican party assailed the Democratic plan, declaring that it would lead to “wildcat banking.” The idea has grown

in favor, however, and bankers generally are* coming to believe some sort of insurance or guaranty is necessary. At the recent session of the Indiana Bankers’ association It was apparent that this state is not behind in this respect. One of the bankerrsaid: “In Kansas the national bankers are organizing not only to guarantee deposits without aid, but to prevent bank failures, and I believe the time is coming when our group associations will organize their own clearing houses for credits, examination and mutual protection. It may be that political John the Baptists have raised the cry in the wilderness which has called attention to the need of these reforms, but. we are realizing that by organization and friendly co-operation we can eliminate the evils.” Another one said; “If people form great combinations for protecting their families by life insurance, why could not the banks of the country be organized In sections and by the payment of a small tax on deposits accumulate a fund that would protect the depositors of a bank that should die? Then there could be no frightened depositors. Why could not those bank sections be so organized that they could be subject to close examination and control so as to prevent bad management? The fund would not have to be large and the tax that produced It would be small. Any plan that produces the strength of such union will produce confidence.”

Both of these men tried to make it appear that they had not been influenced by the political discussion of the question—one of them even going so far as to make an offensive allusion to Mr. Bryan as a “peripatetic ana perennial candidate—but they both cried aloud the need of guaranting deposits. So it appears that Democratic proposals which are at first scoffed at are eventually embraced with affection.

Sees Mother Grow Young.

“It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change In mother since she began to use Electric Bitters,” writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrlck of Danforth, Me. “Although past 70 she seems really to be growing young. She suffered untold misery from dyspepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and all remedies failed till Electric Bitters worked such wonders for her health." They invigorate all vital organs, cure Liver and Kidney troubles, induce sleep, impart strength and appetite. Only 50c at A. F Long’s.

Digs Own Grave; Kills Self.

Salem, Ind., June 29. —Joseph B. Hamilton, a farmer, committed suicide, seating himself on a stump and firing a shotgun with his toe. He had dug his own grave in the family burying grounds. It is a wise man who thoroughly understands that seeing is very often deceiving. Most people have a certain amount of Intelligence, but tbe skill some of them hare in keeping it concealed amounts almost to genius. The strong repugnance that some people have to money never seises them until money Is in their possession. Some men are lucky because they are married and some because they aren’t. It all depends, you see. Doing as one pleases is only fascinating and absorbing as long as somebody else objects to it
