With the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks’s manager and the Hon. J. Frank Hanly’s late secretary in charge of the Shank administration in Indianapolis—both of them put there by a bargain with the Indianapolis News, anti-Beveridge and proFairbanks—what will happen to Mr. Beveridge;

Senator Aldrich is making speeches in the west in which he tells his audiences that “we must lay aside our prejudices, our preconceived notions.” But Mr. Aldich does not mean that. He means that others must lay aside their prejudices and their preconceived notions. He has no Intention whatever of abandoning his own-

The result of the city elections held in the state last week show that the general trend of public confidence is toward the Democratic party -h twp or three exceptions—due to strictly local causes —the democrats carried every city that they had any reason to expect they could carry. In addition, they elected their tickets in many important cities where the Republicans usually have" overwhelming majorities, besides sweeping the platter clean in many others where the Republicans have been in power for years. The proportion 'sf victories for the two parties is about two for the Democrats'* to one lor the Republicans.

According to an Indianapolis letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Fred A. Sims, acting chairman of the Republican state committee, “insists that the only municipal contest of state-wide significance was in Indianapolis, and that the victory of Shank has clarified the atmosphere for the Republicans from one end of Indiana to the other.” That Shank “victory;" was a truly wonderful thing. The Republicans admit that they have more than 5,000 majority in Indianapolis, and yet Shank squeezed through by only 1.000, with the support of the Star. News and Sun, all Republican or nearRepublican papers l , to say nothing Of the “help" given by the Ant»Saloon League and the political preachers.

“The day has come for an inquiry into the qualifications of a Republican. I am willing to accept an arbiter, but it will not be Aldrich, it will not be Payne, it will not be ■Cannon” —Senator Cummins of lowa, Rep. Insurgent. And also, of course, it will not be President Taft, who lined up with Aldrich, Cannon and Payne. Proceeding with the speech from which the above was taken. Senator Cummins declared that he would appeal to the national platform of 1908. Senator Beveridge, also an insurgent, has said something to the'same effect. But what does it amount to in the face of the statement of Taft, Aldrich, Cannon and other real leaders of the Republican party that the insurgents have taken themselves out of that party?

WORKED A CONFIDENCE GAME.

On the Saturday night before the Indianapolis city election Senator Beveridge made a speech in behalf of Shank, the Republican candidate for mayor. It was represented to him that Republican supremacy in

Marion county was in danger and that if he expected to be re-elected to the senate he must line up his friends for Shank in order that the Republicans might have a better chance to carry Marion county next fall. Beveridge was led to believe that the “boys” were all for him. But two days after the election Shank calmly announced that he had given the best job at his disposal, that of corporation counsel, to Joseph B. Kealing, the head manager of the Fairbanks faction. He also announced that he had chosen as his private secretary Luman K. Babcock, late secretary to Governor Hanly and before that Hanly’s spokesman in the house of representativesFairbanks and Hanly belong to the anti-Beveridge faction. With their most confidential fugelmen close to the throne of the funny Shank, It is easy to see what they propose to do to Beveridge. The Fairbanks-Hanly-Heminway-Watson crowd have neither forgotten nor forgiven the apparent indifference of Senator Beveridge and his friends as to legislative elections in 1908, when Hemin way’s seat in the senate was at stake, and are opposed to the re-election of Beveridge for that reason as well as others. The fact that the latter is no longer regarded by President Taft, Aldrich and other national leaders as a “regular” Republican will not be overlooked by the opposing taction in their engineering to oust Beveridge from the senate.

WHY FARMERS FAIL

Secret of Success Not In the Business, but tn Themselves. Did you ever think about the number of people that fail not only as farmers, but at‘everything? Many fail ei en to make a good living. They plod along in a hand to mouth sort cf way ami never realize the satisfaction of a successful life. These people put all the blame on the business Instead of upon themselves. They say farming doesn’t pay. corn doesn’t pay, and wheat doesn’t pay, and tine stock breeding doesn’t pay. To hear them tell It, nothing pays, and yet we see all over the couti try farmers here and there who have grown well to do In these lines. The secret of success must be sought not in the business, but in ourselves. Any business will pay if it has the right sort of man back of it. No man can succeed without studying success and meeting its conditions. If you are a farmer you must study the business of farming to make much out of it That does not mean that you are obliged to know all the science of agriculture, though that would help. You must learn how to make every lick count and not lose your time and money in doing work that will not pay. One of the things that will not pay is to work poor land. It takes just as much time and labor as the working of rich land, but, oh, the difference in results! There is where you come out at the little end of the horn when you work [>oor land. Improve your land at once or sell out and buy a smaller piece of good land. There is no sense in working land that brings nothing but nubbins when you can do better. If you can’t do better, haul rich dirt from the woods all winter and cover the land with it. It will pay you to do so. When we think about our business as we should it is not hard to see why we fall and also to see how we could succeed. Too many people don’t want to pay the price of success which comes in a close application to business. They don’t know that if they once get absorbed in their work and push it with power they will be much happier than it is possible to be by dragging on in the old indolent way. Suppose we turn over a new leaf for one year arid see how we come out By that time we shall probably succeed so well that we will never want to do otherwise.

Buttermilk For Sheep Ticks.

It to claimed that by pouring butterjnllk freely along the backs of sheep

It wfli prove a remedy for HcEtk U a gill of kerosene is added to a gallon of buttermilk the remedy will be improved, as the kerosene forms an emulsion with buttermilk and does no harm to the animal. The remedy will cost but little and should be given a trial by way of experiment It is also claimed that if buttermilk is given a horse it will serve better than any other as a remedy for bots. These remedies were suggested by parties who have tested them. Marketing Plums. Plums, early and late varieties, are a profitable fruit. What is true of nearly everything, there Is a good deal in the appearance of plums where they are prepared for the market For local markets, where the fruit is sold from the fruit stands, the common quart berry box Is a convenient package.

BUNCH OF MERUNKA PLUMS.

grape basket with stiff bale seems to please customers. In selling the bull of the crop to local customers for canning purposes the sixteen quart Jersey peach basket is one of the most satisfactory of all. The eight quart (one peck) basket pleases a good many customers who do not care to buy plums by the half bushel. Where good plums are to be shipped a considerable distance the six basket Georgia peach carrier is found very satisfactory. The high state of perfection to which plums can be brought is shown in the bunch of Merunka plums in the illustration.
