A dispatch from New York says that a bread trust, with a capital of $15,000,000, has been formed. Backed by plenty of capital and organized, It Is said, at the Instigation of some of the largest flouring mills In the country, the bread trust is expected to add a cent a loaf to the price of bread and so vie with the beef trust and the milk trust and the other trusts in adding to the cost of the primary necessities of life.

The country is now face to face with the “long session” of congress. It can sit without interruption until December of next year if it sees fit, but if precedent Is followed adjournment will come some time next summer. Uncle Joe Cannon will be master of ceremonies in the house and Uncle Nelse Aldrich in the senate. In the meantime the cautious citizen will keep his hand on his pocketbook which wllll be the point of attack, as usual. At the elections next fall the people can change the program if they will-

The next Republican state chairman has a large and Important work laid out for him,” says one of the fearful party papers. It then follows the statement up with a description of the many qualities needed in a chairman, such as the Republicans must have If they hope to win in 1910. Just how they are going to find the kind of man needed is not told. But surely it is a big job that that fellow will have on his hands when he is found. It is so big and so uncertain that some men have already refused to be considered as available timber, knowing that defeat will do them no good.

The Democratic State Committee will meet this week to arrange for the county and district meetings preliminary to the election of thirteen members of state committee. These will gather in Indianapolis early in January, at a time to be fixed, and organize for the next state campaign. Conditions all point to a harmonious and thoroughly satisfactory organization. The good of the party as a whole will undoubtedly be the guiding policy. All that the Democratic party has to do to carry the election in Indiana next year is just to be true to Itself, to its fundamental principles and policies. These, with the fine record that the eleven Democratic congressmen have made in Washington and the splendid administration of state affairs by Governor Marshall, will bring deserved and lasting success-

If the Anti-Saloon League was willing to pay J. Frank Hanly SSOO for making an argument before the supreme court on the county option law—an argument which it was the official duty of Attorney General Jim Bingham to make for nothing—it can only mean one or another of three things, to-wit: (1) That the Anti-Saloon League has more money than it knows what to do with; (2) that the league had no faith in the Hon. Jim’s ability. (3) that the Hon. J. Frank is the actual boss of the whofle show. At any rate, the league’s action put Mr. Bingham in an awkard light. Publicly, at least, he did not even play second fiddleNor did he fiddle at all. Hanly was in the exact center of the spotlight. After all Bingham has done and tried to do it seems that he has been most despitefully treated in the house of his friends.

HBMENWAY STANDS BY THE BIG GUN. Among the numerous Washington dispatches is one which should not pass unnoticed by Indiana Republicans, especially by those politicians who train with the Beveridge faction. It It this: “Former Senator Hemenway entertained at dinner at the Shoreham hotel to-night in honor of Speaker Cannon. It was an informal affair and gave the speaker his first opportunity to meet a number of old friends. The speaker was in fine humor and enlivened the dinner with some of his best stories and most spicy comment on men and affairs.” The dispatches does not give the details of Mr. Cannon’s “spicy comment on men and affairs,” but he doubtless talked about the “insurgent” Republicans, of whom Senator Beveridge is one. Ex-Senator Hemenway belongs to the Fairbanks faction, which has not been heard to insurge and which is entirely satisfied with the Cannon-Aldrich way of doing things. The fact that Hemenway complimented Cannon with a dinner is evidence that Indiana Republicans are not all against the Speaker nor all for Beveridge. It is also very clear that something is going on that does not appear on the surface.
