A writer in the Indianapolis News says: “Never before in history has a president felt called on to stump the country, within six months after his inaguration, and defend his policy and decry the opposition.” And never before did any president do it at public expense. Mr. Taft continues to travel over the country, at the public expense, making Republican speeches. On his present trip he will spend the larger part of ?20,000 appropriated by congress for the president’s traveling expenses. As part of this money—at least half of it —was paid into the treasury by Democrats and other persons who are not Republicans, it is very bad taste on the part of the president to use it in financing a partisan journey. Speaking with reference to President Taft’s indorsement of Aldrich and his new financial scheme, the New York World says: “Does Mr. Taft know ot any method by which a central bank of issue could be kept free from Wall street influences or from political manipulation? When the United States treasury can not be kept free from such influences what hope is there in a certain bank of issue witn power to contract or expand the currency at will? If the currency system can be reformed only by substituting a greater evil for a lesser evil, it had better be left unregenerated.”

Having fixed the tariff schedules as the special interests want them, Mr. Aldrich now proposes a new financial scheme, involving a great central bank, whereby such persons as Morgan and Rockefeller, with their steel trusts and Standard Oil monopolies, can control the money of the country even more absolutely than they do- now. And Mr. Taft is going up and down the country giving Aldrich a certificate of good character in order that his power in the senate may be greater than ever. Mr. Taft, it may be added, is doing all this at the public's expense. A fine spectacle, indeed. ..THE INFId’EN'TIAL SMOOT... A Salt Lake dispatch says that it had been arranged that the president review the children of Salt Lake City Sunday morning, and then speak at the Mormon Tabernacle there. Tile Ministerial Association of the Gentile churches protested and made such representations that Mr- Taft at Montrose cancelled the Tabernacle speech. Afterward, however, when Senator Smoot's party boarded the train the original program was restored and carried out. The only change was that after appearing at the tabernacle the president attended services at the 1 nitarian church. At the tabernacle Mr. Taft spoke from the pulpit and Smoot was master of ceremonies. From this it appears that Senator Smoot (Mormon apostle), who helped Aldrich frame up the how tariff law which Mr. Taft likes so well, was more influential with the latter than all the Gentile preachers in Salt Lake. By the way, it was Mr. Beveridge of Indiana (and the Maine woods) who, as chairman of a senate committee, recommended that Smoot bb allowed to keep hip seat jn that body. ,

WILL BEAR WATCHING.

It Is a long time before the next state campaign will open in full blast, but it is not too early to put a meditative eye upon the doings of men or organizations who have it in mind to deliver the next legislature to Albert J. Beveridge or J. Frank Hanley through some sort of a “nonpartisan" dodge in the legislative • districts or elsewhere- The methods pursued by these same persons and organizations during the last campaign, whereby they attempted to disrupt the Democratic party and defeat its candidates, from governor down, are not yet forgotten. Democratic control in Indiana is necessary to the general welfare. The Democratic party stands against extravagance and graft in this state. If it secures control of the legislature in both branches and of the

TAFT, ALDRICH AND A CENTRAL BANK.

President Taft has allied himself

with .the Aldrich-Cannon crowd for keeps. He not only approves their new tariff law and declares it “the best ever made,” but he makes it his business to defend Aldrich against the attacks of the Republican insurgents. . Mr. Taft has, indeed, gone so far into the camp of Aidrich and his reactionary associates that he commends Aldrich and his new financial plan. This plan Includes a great central national bank, which will handle the money matters for the country. A writer in the

New York World' says: “Imagine Morgan* the First National bank and the City Bank in control of the national financial resources, through some such functionary as Cortelyou.” It would be fine for the Morgan and Rockefeller interests, for the steel trust and Standard Oil, but how about the other eightyodd millions of people and the smaller business concerns scattered over the country, all of whom and all of which are trying to make an honest living and keep out of the bank-

ruptcy courts and the poor house?

Stomach troubles would more quickly disappear if the idea of treating the cause, rather than the effect, would come into practice. A tiny, inside, hidden nerve, says Dr. Shoop, governs and gives strength to the stomach. A branch also goes to the Heart, and one to the Kidneys. When these “inside nerves” fail, then the organs must falter- Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is directed specifically to these failing nerves. Within 48 hours after starting the Restorative treatment patients say they realize a gain. Sold by all dealers.

Money Comes In Bunches to A. A- Chisholm, of Treadwell, N. Y., now. His reason is well worth reading: “For a long time I suffered from Indigestion, torpid liver, constipation, nervousness, and general debility,” he writes. I couldn’t sleep, had ho appetite, nor ambition, grew weaker every day in spite of all medical treatment. Then used Electric Bitters. Twelve bottles restored all my old-time health and vigor. Now I can attend to business every day. It’s a wonderful medicine." Infallible for Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Blood and Nerves. 50c' at A. F. Long’s.
