The Republicans of Kentucky are holding “rump” conventions with cheerful regularity these days. They were badly split into factions last year when the Taft and Fairbanks forces were fighting for delegates, and they have not gotten over it.

A discussion is going on in some of the newspapers as to when the Republican ivarty began- This is not half as important to the country as it is to know when the Republican party is going to end. In the last generation it has been to the people a hideously costly organization.

Two corporations in Tennessee which manufactured soft drinks and expected to do a big business as soon as the state “went for prohibition,” have gone into bankruptcy. The men who put up the money to back them are firmly convinced, so they say, that "prohibition does not prohibit,” at least not in Tennessee.

A large falling off of bank deposits the Kansas farmers are spending their Republicna paper to the fact that the Knsas farmers are spending their money for automobiles. But last week the deposits in the banks of New York city showed a decrease of over $18,000,000. Are the Neuf Yorkers spending eighteen millions a week for automobiles?

The following is taken from the Cincinnati Enquirer: Indianapolis, Ind., August 21. The J. Frank Manly Social Club is to be organized and incorporated soon at Linton, according to reports from that coal mining center, which recently voted under the county local option law to eliminate the saloons. Now, what do you know about that? And, which is more to the point, what does the Hon Frank J. Haniv know about it?

A Chicago bank has put out a statement in which it is said that “the responsibility for the panic of 1907 lies at the door of the currency system.” Now, isn’t this strange? In 1896, thirteen years ago, the Republican party told the country that it was the only party that knew how to fix up money matters. It was put in charge and eleven years later we had the worst panic in our history, which was due, according to the Chicago bank, to our currency system- >

Ex-Governor Jpseph W. Folk Insists that the tariff should be the big issue in 1912. In a recent statement he said: “I have found throughout the west and northwest great dissatisfaction with the new tariff not only among the Democrats, but among Republicans as well. The people everywhere are awakening to the injustice of 80,000,000 of people being taxed in order to make a few men very rich. The demand now is, instead of protecting monopoly from the people the people should be protected from the monopoly.” All of which will be agreed to by thoughtful citizens, regardless of

party. And the only way to secure a remedy is to send to Washington the right kind of a man.

THE NEW ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

When the State Board of Accounts gets the new uniform system in operation throughout it will be easy to see its benefits. The board has been organized less than three months, but it has made much headway in laying the foundation for its future work. By substituting simple and understandable methods of accounting and reporting in public offices for the many different varieties now in use, both the officials and the people will be benefited. It Is certain that a great deal of money will be saved to the taxpayers and that the work of the various public officers will be materially lessened. It will take time to get the whole system In w’orking order, but it will pay for itself many times over in a very few’ years. William A. Dehofity, appointed by Governor Marshall as head of the new department, is a careful and painstaking man, thoroughly competent to handle the big undertaking and just as thoroughly conscientious in the performance of his duties. He has asked for the hearty co-operation of all public officers in the w’ork of making a complete success of the new’ system, and it is said that he is receiving it in a very gratifying way.

BONDS IN TIME OF PEACE.

There used to be some talk about the iniquity of “issuing bonds in time of peace,” that is, of course, when they were issued under a Democratic administration. But within the past two years millions of bonds have been issued and now the new tariff bill has provided for issuing nearly $300,000,000 more. The Indiankpolis News says:

In the beginning it was proposed to pay the cost of the Panama canal entirely out of the current revenues. In those days the government was a good deal troubled to find -a way to dispose of its surplus. That trouble has disappeared Instead of a surplus last year, the year ending with June, we had a deficit considerably in excess of $100,000,000. Here’ is a very marked change in Now there are no surplus raflßH to be devoted to jects. It will be ther that in those days it was fcefimated that the canal would cost less than $150,000,000. Now it is known that it will cost almost $400,1)00,000. So it was necessary to abandon the original plan. This was the theory on which the makers of the new tariff proceeded when they tacked to the bill / a section authorizing the issue# of $295,569,000 of three per cent, bonds to cover the cost of the canal, and to reimburse the treasury for the amount advanced on the account. We have already borrowed $84,631,900 for canal purposes. Thus we get a present estimate of $380,200,900 as the cost of the enterprise

A SERIOUS JOKER

it was supposed that the duty oh rough lumber had been reduced from $2 a thousand feet to $1.25. But our friends, the lumber people, are hoping that this is a mistake, and that it will be found that the actual effect of the new law will be to raise the $2 rate to $5.93 on lumber valued at the average of $18.74. or, $6.25 on lumber valued at $20.00. in an editorial printed in the American Lumberman; of which J. E. Defebaugh is the editor,-this theory of the working of the law is set forthDefebaugh, whose is a leading lumber journal, was, we believe, at Washington while the tariff bill was under consideration, and his opinion must be allowed to have some weight. The question is as to the effect of the maximum and minimum provision. The maximilm rates are to be kept in force against any nation or dependency that discriminates against us. DoeS Canada, from which much of our imported lum? her comes, discriminate against us? It seems to us that it is safd to say that no one yet knows what the lumber duty is to be. whether $6.00 or $1.25, and that the lumbermen have great hopes—which are far from being baseless—that the higher rate will prevail. However this may be, there can be no doubt that after March next the rate will jump at once to between $5.00 and $6.00, where it will stay till the president sees fit to lower it. All this, of course, has to do with Canadian lumber.-—lndianpolis News.

Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

IN PROSPECT. mHE useful air We breathe Is free, A priceless boon To you and me. Let's breathe a lot. Pull deep and fast; We cannot tell How long- 'twill last Though now it stretcher Far and wide. It may ere long Be trustified, And we may be Compelled to pay For what we use From day 10 day. A snap like that Can’t last, I fear. f. The end, Indeed, May soon be near. We may receive, I grieve to say, A bill for what We stow away. The trust has missed It’s finest bet. But it will put A meter yet On what we breathe And come down hard And make us buy it By the yard. No Training Needed. Farming and writing poetry are two things that every one thinks he can do. Indeed, if there is anything easier than falling off a log it is writing poetry, and If there is anything easier than poetizing it is making a farm pay where men who have been at it all their lives have failed. Of the two delusions the poetical one Is the least harmful. The editor can send back the rhymes, and nothing Is lost but a two cent stamp and a subscriber. In farming, the experimenter will sometimes exchange the savings of a lifetime for a couple of years’ experience that he can do nothing with after he has acquired it. The Good Old Way. “Great improvements in all lines of farming now," said the dairyman who was showing a customer about the place. "I suppose so.” “Yes; we even do our milking by machinery." “You have to still water it by hand, though, don’t you?” m Superior. k “Mamie says she Is above marriage.” r “Is that so? I always thought Mamie had quite a feeling fo£ the lads.” “Nevertheless she maintains she is." "Wonder why.” “She Is in an office over the county judge’s office.” The sweetheart of your youth is sure to turn up for the first time in ten years when you have a smudge on your nose and a week’s dissipation to your discredit. A girl hardly ever gets so mad that she will refuse a five pound box of candy. In „P«fspect. S^mmer'i.h Is alluring When It's far away; In the hazy Distance Looks so bright And gay. But When it Is closer And we feel the sting Then we think It rather Overdoes the thing. When The frosts Of winter Nip our classic nos* And we sit , And wonder Why So hard it snows. And the weather Chilly Seems to be A crime. Then We sort of hanker For The summer time. But when it Is doing Business At our door And Is very • Friendly Then we rals* A roar. Summer Is delightful When It Isn’t here. That Applies to any Season In the year. Poor Guesser. “He is going to marry the Widow Jone 3.” “But she is older than he.” % “Yes.” "And no beauty.” “Not exactly,” “Is she rich?” “Why do you ask superfluous questions?” Explaining It. “I see, as the blind man said,” remarked father when he was trying to be emphatic and facetiofls at the same time. “He couldn’t, though, could he?’’ inquired Willie. “No, son. That was just the blind man's bluff.”

STATE FAIR RACES

$37,600 To Be Awarded Trotters and Pacers on Indiana Track During Week of Sept 6. PACING AGAINST All RECORDS Hedgewood Boy and Lady Mauds Will Try to Lowar the Marks Famous Stables Represented at Indiana Fair—Wisconsin Man Will Be the New Starter. The Indiana State Fair has formed the richest racing program In Its history for the week of Sept. 6, the purses for which amount to $37,600. That there will be an extraordinary number of horses in the various contests is indicated by the entries which closed in June when the names of 195 different horses were sent to Secretary Charles Downing, the horses to come from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Michi gan, Colorado, Ohio, New York, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, and the best stables of Indiana will be represented. In the 2:20 trot, with a purse of $5,000, there are 20 entries, %nd in the 2:15 pace, also with a $5,000 purse, there are 26 entries. The entry lists for the other twelve raceß on the State Fair program do not close until August 24. The course at the Fair, already rich In race track lore, is during the coming Fair, expected to make some more valuable contributions to the world’s records for pacers in some special events. The State Fair management has entered into a contract with Dick Wilson, of Rushville, one of the famous horsemen of the country, who will start Hedgewood Boy, with a record of 2:02 1-4, and Lady Maude C, with a mark of 2:04 1-2 in three efforts to fix new records. The contract with Wilson provides that if he “does nothing, he gets nothing.” On Monday, the first day of the Fair, Hedgewood .Boy and Lady Maud C, who are full brother and sister, will be driven to equal the world’s record, Wilson is to receive S6OO, and if he lowers it will receive S4OO additional. In another special event, If Hedgewood Boy paces a mile in harness In 2:021-4, hi 3 present record, Wilson is to receive SSOO. If, la this performance, Hedgewood Boy beats the track record of 2:01, made by Star Pointer in 1897, Wilson will receive $250 additional. If Lady Maud C., 2:o4Vfc, beats her present record, Wilson will get $500; if she beats the world’s record for pacing mares, $250 additional. If either Hedgewood Boy or Lady Maud C, or both, beat the world’s stallion race record of for pacers, Wilson will be awarded SSOO. The Rushville horseman can by meeting all conditions of the contract gather up $3,500 for his work at the State Fair. He is to receive nothing In the event that his horses do not equal or beat the marks which are fixed by the contract. The horses are to pace to wagon on the first day of the Fair, weather and track permitting. Hedgewood Boy will start against the record for stallitons on Thursday and Lady Maud C, will make her attempt on Friday of Fair week. C. H. Anthony, the Fair’s superintendent of speed, the judges and starter of the Fair races are to determine if the weather and track are of proper condition for the events. The rules of the American Trotting Association are to govern. The race track at the Indiana Fair grounds has for months been in use and only severe weather can put it out of commission for the September races. Since early spring about 300 trotters and pacers, representing famous stables from over the United States, have been In training at the Indiana grounds and it has become one of the most favored tracks for spring and early summer work in the land. The track was re-soiled some months ago and was carefully ditched. During the heavy rains of last spring, the water speedily drained off the course and three or four hours of sunshine brought it into condition for use again. It will require a very heavy and continuous rain to hinder the races at the coming Fair. Four or five hundred trotters and pacers are expected at the track for the September meeting, and many stables which are noted over the grand circuit will be represented. United States Senator Bailey, of Texas, has entered two mares, Luclle Marlow and Eva Cord, in the Fair trotting .events. E. F. Geers, of Memphis, has listed a trottfer and a pacer. Other celebrated stables which have already made entries are: Alonzo McDonald, Indianapolis; John H. Dickerson, Mamaroneck. N. Y.; George H. Esterbrook, Denver, Col.; Roy Miller, Lexington, Ky.; W. G. Durfee, Los Angles, Cal.; S. J. Fleming, Terre Haute; J. E. Benyon, Memphis, Tenn.; Dick McMahon, Llbertyvllle, Ill.; A. J. Hook, Georgetown, Ky.;,S. R. Holt, Indianapolis; White River Stock farm, Muncle, Ind.; V. L. Shuler, Indianapolis; Float Jolly, Tipton, Ind.; Walter Dunn, Charleston, Ill.; L. H. Maybury, Los Angles, Cal.; C. A. Chambers, Indianapolis; Forest Park farm, Terre Haute. Charles Downing, secretary of the Indiana Fair, expects the coming races to be of the highest class ever held In Indiana. “The Indiana Fair,” he said, “has always promoted clean racing which in quality of entertainment brings them up to the equal of the raceß on the grand circuit. Our races are not under the Influences of the pool box or the betting ring, for our Fair does not permit betting.”
