If Colonel Durbin is actually a

candidate for the senate to succeed Beveridge, what ’does he propose to do about his old friend, Colonel Hanly? If Colonel Durbin mounts the dapple gray county option hobbyhorse, Col. Hanly will bestride his milk-white prohibition steed. The color of the Beveridge animal is not definite, but he has been entered for the go- It ought to be a funny race. Indeed, it will be a funny race—while it lasts.

Senator Beveridge did not vote in favor of a motion to make the tariff commission (which is to advise the president about how and when to put on that 25 per cent additional tax) a non-partisan body. It will be made up of Republicans and “protectionists.” Senator LaFollette was the only Republican who voted to make the commission nbnpartisan. Senator Beveridge is not really a tariff reformer— not nearly as much of a one as he wants the people of Indiana to think he is. Just watch him line up for the Aidrich bill on its final passage.

In the senate the other day Senator Dolliver of lowa, a Republican, said: “Nobody has any faith in what we are doing here.” And that is true. In the entire history of tariff legislation there n'ever has been anything so disgraceful, so absolutely shameless and impudent as the proceedings on the present bill. Everything has been done for the "protected” interests and not a thiug for the people. How could anybody have faith in what is being done in Washington? Everyone knows that the Republican majority never intended to make, or even try to make an honest revision of the tariff.

The Jeffersonville reformatory concerning which there are scandalous disclosures has been run strictly as a Republican institution. The board of trustees has been composed for two years of two Republicans and two other men appointed as Democrats. This is called a "bipartisan” board. Prior to two years ago the board was made up of three men, two Republicans and one Democrat. This was called a “non-par-tisan” board. But whatever the name, 90 per cent of the employes, from the superintendent down, are said to be Republicans. It should not be so under a bl-partisan law, If the spirit of the thing means anything^—which It evidently did not in this case.

The terms of the custodian and engineer of the state house expired the middle of April. These officials had been appointed by the Republican governors for twelve years under the terms of an act passed in 1907. Governor Marshall, convinced that he had at least equal authority to make these appointments, issued commissions to two Democrats. Thereupon State Auditor Blllhelmer and Secretary of State 81ms, proceding under an act of 1895, which Governor Matthews had vetoed and which no one considered of any validity (although the redolent Owen

had printed it in the official acts of 1895) appointed two Republicans. And now the supreme court has decided that an act which neither Governor Mount, Durbin nor Hanly would recognize, which no subsequent legislature heeded, and which no administrative officer thought valid until a Democratic governor was elected, Is all right. By this decision the Republicans will continue to hold a large amount of state house patronage.

A SHAMEFUL “POLICY

In speaking of the scandalous mismanagement that is charged against the trustees and superintendent of the Jeffersonville reformatory, the Indianapolis Sun says: The “policy” of Superintendent Whittaker and the reformatory board of trustees, under which good and hard working and “handy” prisoners are held in bondage to work for contractors, or to earn money on which others may draw interest; the policy under which men of clear records are robbed of the liberty the law gives them after the terms of their minimum sentences have run out, Is being attacked on all sides. Such a policy if pursued, should be attacked and condemned. It Is an outrage on civilization. According to charges that have been made, prisoners haVe been held for years after they earned a parole, largely because they wdre .good workmen and valuable to the prison contractors.

RIGHT TO THE POINT.

Learning that a telephone company was furnishing racetrack news" for the use of a gambling - poolroom operated near Jeffersonville, Governor Marshall sent to the manager of the company the following statement:

“It is the judgment of this office that while you have authority to transmit information over your lines, you have no authority to use them either directly or indirectly, to your knowledge, for Illegal purposes. You are not chartered to become a conduit for a gambling Institution. I must receive Immediately information that you have cut the wires and stopped the communications or I will Instruct the proper officials to test your right to do business in the state of Indiana.”

It would be hard to find anything more explicit than that, and it is not likely that any telephone company, after reading it and thus becoming informed as to the governor’s views, will take chances on the annulment of its right to do business in this state.

THE WORTH OF THEIR MONEY.

The upheaval at the Jeffersonville reformatory has not only resulted in the resignation of both Superintendent Whittaker and Assistant Superintendent Barnard, but it will doubtless be followed by a general clearing of the air in that and other institutions. So far as is now known no specific charges affecting the management of other institutions are pending, but according to general report there are conditions that are not satisfactory. What developments there will be, if any, is a matter for the future. From the time that he took office, Governor Marshall has kept his eyes closely on the state's affairs. He proposes to see to it that the people a business shall be managed in a manner which will meet with the people’s approval. He has done no blustering and has touched off no red fire, but he evidently intends to know what is going on, and how, and why, and the cost. If any skylocketsv go up they will be sent up by the other fellow, not, perhaps, in celebration of something, but as a signal of distress.

One thing is certain, and that is that wherever mismanagement is shown to exist, it Is going to be corrected, and it will be corrected decently and in order, and speedily likewise. Wherever an abuse sticks up its head it will come in contact with the official Bhillaleh. And wherever a graft is found burrowing It will be dug out and pilloried for public inspection. Governor Marshall has shown by every official action of his that he believes that the people who pay the government s bills are entitled to receive the worth of their money in”return.

Life 100,000 Years Ago.

Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in constant danger from wild beasts. To-day the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown of Alexander, Me., is largely from deadly disease. "If it had not been for Dr. King’s New Discovery, which cured me, I could not have lived,’ he writes, "suffering as I did from a severe lung trouble and stubborn cough.’’ To cure Sore Lungs, Colds, obstinate Coughs, and prevent Pneumonia, its the best medicine on earth. 60c and SI.OO.

A MONSTROUS IMPOSITION.

Senator Shively has contended from the beginning of the tariff discussion that under the .maximum and minimum provision the 25 per cent maximum duty which the president may impose will turn out to be merely that much added to the regular schedule rates of the Payne-Al-drich bill, thus making that bill the most monstrous imposition upon the people ever atempted. In a speech in the senate Mr. Shively said: “Under this provision the list of schedules which we are framing here is not the tariff law. What the tariff law will be depends upon what the president says after we get through. No business man can know what the tariff on a particular article will be thirty, sixty or 100 days in advance. I believe that we should make the tariff law here now so that every business man and every consumer in the United States will know r what the law is to be. The effect of this legislation is simply to transfer to the, state department the contest for favors under the tariff.” In reply to this Senator Aldrich, the special agent of the “protected” interests, said: ' “The senator i?om Indiana talks about increased duties under the maximum and minimum provision of this bill. I venture to say there is not a man listening to me who does not know’ that these increased duties of 25 per cent will never be imposed except in cases where the president is satisfied that foreign nations are discriminatlng unjustifiably ■against American products. This maximum provision is not intended for the purpose of increasing protective duties.” This is precisely the same kind of talk that was heard in explanation of the exorbitant rates of the Dingley bill. It was then said that the duties w r ere made high, not for the purpose of increasing the “protection,” but for the purpose of being scaled down in reciprocation of lower duties given 'us by foreign countries. This false pretense was carried out to the extent that reciprocity treaties were negotiated, but the senate, under the lead of this same Aldrich and Ms co-conspirators, refused to ratify the treaties. It may as well be understood now that the tariff bill soon to be passed will be the greatest legislative outrage in a generation—and this is saying much.

Humor and Philosophy

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

It is a question whether waiting deserves anything or not, but it sometimes wins. Time, tide and scorching automobiles wait for no man. Sometimes it is merely force of haj)lt that keeps a man from paying £la debts. While an idealist Is looking for his ideal some sordid minded relative is slaving to pay for the idealist’s meai ticket. * One reason why we don’t like to mention our vices is because it is obviously superfluous. When they begin to act as if you were one of the family it will be safe to look out for some other loafing place. When a man is a guy be does not call attention to his condition. That does so itself. There are people who would rather work than Btarve, and as long as they continue to multiply the world Is comparatively safe. There are a great many commendable actions that the ordinary man would rather commend that perform. It is hard to understand when we aren’t hungry how anybody can starve to death. Being optimistic is easy when the conditions are right

The Lowly Singer. The humble poet goes about In very modest raiment. If he could coin his tuneful words He'd gladly make a payment On rags that glisten ae the sun And raise an awful holler. But now he has to be content— He hasn’t got a dollar. For him the sun unfolds its light. For him the stars are gleaming. And so he cannot waste his time On profit bearing scheming. He must remain content to get The robin’s morning greeting And not disturb bis high flown thoughts With vulgar things like eating. Were he disposed to drop a peg And lower his profession Things might be drifting round his way In quite a long procession. Would he write ads. Instead of songs Extolling pills or bacon He’d rake In coin; but, oh, his art Would have to be forsaken! No; he will go along his way. Wrapped In his inspiration. Let sordid poets sing of soap; His theme is all creation. So take him gently by the hand . And lead him to the table, And then the poet’s appetite You’ll find was but a fable.

His Dreadful Pries. “I have Just had some swell photographs taken.” “I hope that they do you Justice.” “Thanks, awfully, but that’s not what’s troubling me." “What Is?” “How I am ever going to do the photographer justice?” An Oversight. “The constitution Is a grand old document.” * “Yes, but they wrote It too soon.” “Why so?” “They should have waited until automobiles had been Invented and made it unconstitutional to run a fellow down.” Coming. When flying is perfected And man is on the wing A Wilbur Wright elopement Will be the proper thing. Man From City Hall. “Why does the man scrutinize his features so closely In the mirror?” “Perhaps he Is trying to detect the ‘flight of time.” “What for?” “Doubtless he desires to arrest it.”

Lika Play. “Going to send your son to art school?" “What do they do there?” “Just make pictures.” “I should say not I want him to learn something.” 11 “y An Oversight “Seen anything of a horse thief going by here?” “I don't know. Several men have gone by, but I didn’t think to ask any of them If they were hone thieves."

Her Opinion. “Mr. Footprint, you are the most graceful dancer in the room,” said the sweet young girl to the awkward guy who was falling all over her. “A fine compliment I am sure.” “No; Just a knock on the other dancers.”

PRICE vs. QUALITY And perfect fitting. Mere spectacles fitted in a haphazard way are apt to be an injury to the eyes. This is a matter in which you cannot afford to take chances.
