A Washington dispatch says that when Colonel Roosevelt comes back from Africa he will probably be put In charge of the construction of the Panama canal. It Is declared that he will “make the dirt fly.” And how about the money?

State Geologist Blatchley, according to the Indianapolis Star, has made up his mind to ask a fourth nomination. When he was nominated the last time a delegate who had been for another candidate sarcastically moved to make Mr. Blatehley's renomination “unanimous and perpetual.”

By going on record in favor of the income tax amendment and the election of United by a direct .vote, the New York Democrats have given an Impetus to both of those propositions. The income tax amendment, which is already up to tite legislatures of the States lor ratification, is not out of danger. Twelve states can defeat, it. Georgia, which has been driltiiig toward the Republicans, has already voted against it. and it is expected that the New England states will do likewise. Friends of the proposition should be vigilant everywhere.

Commenting on the declaration of principles adopted by the Democrats at Saratoga, the Indianapolis News among other things, says: Of course the Democratic party has always favored, at least theoretically, “steady adherence to the principle of home rule and local self-government by the state and each of its imlitical subdivisions. * * Of course all Democrats will agree that there shall be “no Interference with the personal liberty of any citizen except such as Is essential to secure the equal rights of all the citizens." And it is not a bad thing to remember, either. Both of these principles are vitally necessary to the maintenance of our form of government at its best.

A writer in the Indianapolis Star asks why Mr. Shumaker (head officer of the Anti-Saloon League) does not “make a report of the financial affairs of the league ” The writer says that it "is generally believed” that the contributions from the counties of the state amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he wants to know what has been done with the money. It is hard to tell what is being done with it now, but during the last campaign it was used to help the Republican party make its state campaign. But it is said that the expenses of the league in the way of salaries and otherwise are very heavy, far greater than'the ordinary expenses of any regular political party. There has been much speculation as to where this money comes from, but no satisfactory explanation has been made so far as we are aware.

THE “MORALS” OF PROTECTION.

Senator Beveridge, who is appealing to the tariff reformers of Indiana for support asserts that he Is a “Protectionist" clear through, or words to that effect. But he thought in

! view of the strong" sentiment in Inj diana, that the Payne-Aldricb-Can- | non tariff bill was swiping a little I more than the people would stand without “kicking." But Mr. Bever- | ldge wants it understood that he is I a “protectionist" still. Below we ; set out what Senator Dolllver. of lowa, thinks about the morals of protection: “As the result of my observations upon the different tariffs of the world (and I do not pretend to be wise or deeply read about the matter), I find that wherever .there is a protective tariff it has built up a system of morality of its own, and I never found that its rules of morals were in accord with any other rules of morals, religious or secular, ever framed in this world. It has built up a system of morality in this country that not only is wicked, but it allows to be done, by authority of law, what the man who does it would never do in his private capacity as a citizen. It permits a man not to covet his neighbor’s goods, but to take them away from him by force of law.”

A POLITICAL PUZZLE.

The Starke County Republican says: “The efforts of the opposition press to create dlsturabnce In the Republican ranks because of the fact that Senator Beveridge voted against the Payne tariff bill, which President Taft subsequently signed, will fail for the very good reason that the people know that both Senator Beveridge and President Taft were actuated by purely patriotic motivesNor can it be successfully charged that the action of either Mr. Beveridge or the president was in the least Inconsistent.” The same paper also says the following in the same article: “If Senator Beveridge had been president he would have signed the bill just as President Taft did, and if President Taft had been in the United States senate he would have voted against the measure just Senator Beveridge did.” All of this is puzzling. Perhaps the next Republican state convention will find a way to “work” it. Mr. Beveridge denounced the bill and voted against it. Mr. Taft approved it, and, it is said, is going to travel over the country to defend it. If the Republican state convention endorses Beveridge’s course, what will it say about Taft? If it approves Taft, what will it say about Beveridge?

THE NEXT “LOVE FEAST.”

Secretary of State Sims, who is acting chairman of the Republican state committee, says he believes that the usual custom for perfecting the state organization will be followed th{s year, which is for a “love feast” on some day between Christmas and New Year’s day, to be followed by a formal call for a meeting of the committee some time in January.- Just what particular form of “love feast" this one is to be Mr. Sims did not say._ It is not expected that Mr. Fairbanks will get borne by that time. But these are others who ought to be able to give an interesting performance. Mr. Hemenway might tell what he “Thinks about Mr. Beveridge. Messrs. Watson, Taylor and Miller might give the inside history of the last Republican, state convention. Mr. Hanlv could in pleasant reminisCenes about the special session of the legislature and his experiences at Chicago. Mr. Beveridge will doubtless try to explain why he voted against the tariff bill which Mr. Taft approved and is going to defendJoe Kealing, Mr. Fairbanks's political manager, should give the facts about his resignation as United States district attorney. By all means Charlej’ Landis should enliven the gathering with a repetition of his 19tf% effort about “all sorts of jobs for all sort*; of men.” And finally, the Rev. Mr. Shumaker might explain to his 190 S allies how he proposes to work his new “non-par-tisan" game in the next campaign. If this “love-feast" happens to get started off on the right foot it ought to be very fetching entertainment.

THE TARIFF AND THE EVERYDAY PERSON.

A writer in the Review of Reviews shows how the new tariff law was formed to skin the buying public. He calls attention to the fact that through changes in classification the duties on cotton goods will be raised "as much as 100 per cent., and in some cases more, above the rates of the Dingley tariff.” One of the devices by which this increase is effected is described: ' “Under the Dingley tariff cotton cloth was subject to the same duty whether mercerized or not. The new tariff provides (in par. 323) for an additional duty of 1 per cent a squarp yard on cotton cloth mercerized or subjected to any similar process. In paragraph 320 the definition Of mercerized cloth is given as one 'which has any. . .mercerized. .. threads in or upon any part of the fabric.’ This will any cloth having two or more glossy threads in the fabric subject to the addttion-

al rate as ‘cloth mercerized or subject to any similar process.” Further, by changing classifications and substituting specific for ad valorem duties, the rates on cotton* cloth while they may appear to be the same have actually been increased “from as UCtle as five per cent, for the finest cloth to 100 per cent, and more for the poorer grades." As for the duties on hosiery the same •writer says: “The conferees modified the advances passed by the house by leaving the following increases of duty on the lower-priced hosiery in the act as it finally passed: Hosiery valued wholesale not at more than SI.OO per dozen pairs, eighty per cent., ad valorem, as against sixtyseven per cent., under the Dingley tariff; valued at SI.OO to $1.60, 77 per cent., as against the Dingley rate of fifty-eight per cent.; valued at sl.50 to $2.00, sixty-two per cent., as against fifty-one per cent., under the Dingley law. The duty on the high-est-priced hosiery, valued at more than $5.00 per dozen, remains unchanged at fifty-five per cent ad valorem.” About woolen goods he says: "Criticism of the wool and woolen schedules is based mainly or. the fact that there has been practically no change of the old rates, which, it Is charged, have been instrumental in buijding up a woolen trust by “discriminiation against the carded woolen industry, which produces the poor man's cloth, in favor of the worsted manufacturers, due to the imposition of a uniform duty of eleven cents a pound on raw unwashed wool, which taxes the cheaper wools as high as 500 per cent and more, while frequently amounting to less than twen-ty-five per cent on the finer grades used for the more expensive cloths.”

A NARROW ESCAPE

Edgar N. Bayliss, a merchant of Robinsville, Del., wrote: “About two years ago I was thin and sick, and coughed all the time and if I did not have consumption, it was near to it. I commenced using Foley’s Honey and Tar, and it stopped my cough, and I gained twenty-eight pounds, all due to the good results from taking Foley’s Honey and Tar.”

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Under the present postal ruling a newspaper can grant but limited credit to its subscribers, and therefore we must ask for prompt renewals. The date print* - ed at the right of the name of each subscriber of The Democrat shows when the subscription expires, and if this reads *‘lßSept9,’* or previous thereto, your subscription has expired and early renewal is requested. Unless renewals are made within the time prescribed by the postal department we must either cut off the subscriber from our list or pay one cent postage on each and every paper sent to them after such date This would mean $1.04 postage per year for each copy sent beyond the date allowed us for securing a renewal, and it Is obvious that we cannot afford to pay any such price for granting credit of $1.50 for a year. Kindly examine the date on the margin or label of your Democrat and see how your subscription stands on our books. If In arrears, kindly renew at once, or pay up the small amount in arrears and notify us if you do not care to take the paper any longer.

WARNING.

Do not be pursuaded into taking anything but Foley’s Honey and Tar for chronic coughs, bronchitis, hay fever, asthma, and lung troubles, as it stops the cough and heals the lungs.—A. F. Long.

Rheumatism I have found a tried and teited core for Rhea, tnatism I Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor tom bony growths hack to flesh again. That Is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist In the City of Darmstadt—l found the last Ingredient with Which Dr. Bhoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Withonl that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last. It uniformly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found In Rheumatic Bi x>d. seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism Is gone forever. There Is now no real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer without help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy “ALL DEALERS"
