Congress created a commission to “study the possibility of reducing the cost of government.” The commission should not have a hard job. *AII the studying that is necessary is as to the best and quickest way to put the Democratic party in full control of the government. When that is done the cost will be reduced and it will not be reduced before.

W hen President Taft went into office he said that government expenses should be reduced. But they have nor been reduced. On the contrary, the session of congress just closed managed to get away with more'money than any of its predecessors —many millions oi dollars more. I Congress created a high-salar-ied court of commerce and a high-salaried court of commerce and high-salaried tariff board and provided many other new jobs for partisan workers, besides appropriating $1,054,000,000 for various purposes—and then it created a commission to study the "possibility" of reducing the cost lof government! *

Senator Beveridge, it is reported. recently told a friend that the Democrats would carry Ohio this year by 20,000 and Illinois by 50,000. but that Indiana would go Republican by 40,000 —all because the Republicans of Indiana had a LEADER. Mr. Beveridge's traditional modesty prevented him giving the name of that leader, but he did not rnean Fairbanks. Hemenway, Watson; Durbin or any other person savfrig and excepting the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge.

Among the other little arrangements tor spending public money devised by the late session of congress is the one appropriating 5200.000 for rhe prosecution of violators of the anti-trust laws. The money will be spent all right, but there is no liklihood that it will be spent in the prosecution of the trusts that need prosecuting. Some combination of tradesmen may be jumped on and put out of business, or some labor union that is trying to protect itself against imported ‘‘pauper labor" of Europe may be squelched; but the real trusts, the ones that get their hands in the people’s pockets, will not be ihterferre’d with in the smallest degree if past practices are followed; ■

It has been said before and -hould be said agairt that the Democrats representing this state in congress are entitled to the highest praise and credit for the efforts they have made in behalf of good legislation and economical government. Senator Shively has been a tower of strength in the senate, where he quickly took a commanding position among the ablest men in that body. In t-he house Boehne, Cullbp. C- 'x. Dixon. Moss. Korbly. A’dair. Morrison. Rauch. Cline and Barnhart have been true to every obligation and have worked in season and out for the welfare, of their constituents, their Alate and the nation. Indiana is J t • be congratulated pn its DemoI cratic delegation. Without exi cepTon if .has made good.

i ’ the increase in wages and saiario should keep pace with rhe increase in cost of necessaries I <>f life, no one would be heard to ; complain. But such has not been | the case. Relatively considered —that is. on the purchasing power of a dollar—wages are something like 100 per cent lower than they were thirteen years ago. when the Dingley tariff law ; was enacted. Recently the difference has grown rapidly greater. and doubtless will continue to grow greater under the operation of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. The senate committee appointed to “investigate” the causes of the high cost of living has repotted that the tariff has 'had nothing to dp with. it. The. committee decides that the farmers are principally to blame, al-.

though it is admitted that some other causes, both natural and unnatural. must share part of the responsibility. But this is just the kind of report that the committee was appointed tQ make. Xo one ever expected the tariff to be blamed. The committee was created to guard against an accident of that sort. THEY ALWAYS DO IT. President Taft to-day signed the river and harbor appropriation bill, carrying over $52,000,000, with the distinct warning to congress that if it ever again sends him a measure so full of unwise provisions it would be’ vetoed.-—Washington Dispatch. This congress ~ was not different from other Republican congresses. They have always passed bills “full of unwise provi sions,” and yet no Republican president has had enough courage and sufficient interest in the people’s affairs to veto such bills. On the contrary they have signed them and then defended them as gdod’legislation, just as Mr. Taft did with the tariff bill and as he will do with the 552,000,000 river and harbor bill.

END OF CONGRESS.

The hot weather of last week had one good effect, at least—it brought the long session of congress to a close. Mr. Taft says that the session redeemed all of the Republican party’s campaign pledges —that he succeeded in getting accomplished what other presidents work a whole term on. Speaker Cannon asserts that M more and better" work was done than at any session of his thirtyfive years of congressional 4ife_ Such statements as these are not only open to suspicion, but they are not borne out by the facts. Whether any good at all will grow out of the session is doubtful. On the other hand it is known that the burdens of the people have been enormously increased and that they will have to bend lower than ever before under the load that has been put upon their shoulders. Xot only did this session-spend more money than any proceeding one. but the tariff law that was passed enlarges the graft that other Republican congresses bestowed. It will not be long until the full measure of the mischief accomplished will be made plain to the. countrv. •-

RUN OVER BY CARS

And Helpless on Track For Ten Hours, But Snyder May Live. Terre Haute. Ind.. June 28. A. ( r. Snyder is said by surgeons at St. Anthony's Hospital to have shown the most remarkable vitality of any man coming within their observation. ' „ ? After half a dozen freight cars had rolled their wheels over his legs he lax- for ten hours through the night, never losing consciousness and repeatedly calling at the top of his voice for help. Then at 6 o'clock this morning, he was brought to the hospital, .where both legs were amputated above the knees, but he may live. He says he will, and -ays “it as a matter of course. He was a glassblower at Marion. Ind., and. out of work, started for Terre Haute to seek employment. He was beating his way on a Big Four freight train when he fell from a car near Carbon, 20 miles east of Terre Haute. a ' /

Where Trouble Begins. Most people ignore constipation at first. When they are lashed by indigestion’s pangs, yellow jaundice, virulent liver trouble, they desperately wish they had taken Dr. King’s New Health Tea early and ucred themselves. For Liver, Stomach and Kidfieys, it’s supreme. 25c at A. F. Long’s. t

PLEADS GUILTY.

But Claims He Did Not Know He Violated Any Law. Indianapolis, Ind., June 28. Charged with having made false reports to the Comptroller of the Treasury, W illiam L. Swormstedt, former Cashier of the Citizen's National Bank of Evansville, to-day entered a plea of guilty before Federal Judge A.. B. Anderson. He arrived here this morning from Arizona, ami was arrested when he reached the courtroom. Swwormstedt was not represented by counsel. He asked to make a statement. He told Judge Anderson that he didn't know that he was violating any of the hanking laws. Captain Simeon P. Gillett, who is now 70 years old, had treated him like a father. He declared that the reports he made to the Comptroller were furnished by Captain Gillett. The Bank Examiners, he asserted, examined the books a number of times, and never suggested that anything was wrong. lie was questioned closely by Judge Anderson. The latter announced that -Captain Gillett will be tried December 1. Until after his trial Swormstedt will not be sentenced. Each man gave bond for SlO,000. An effort will be made to have Captain Gillett's case tried at Evansville. He is indicted on a long list of charges. One of the indictments charges him with aiding and abetting Swormstedt to make false entries in the books. Captain Gillett is also charged with embezzling the bank's funds. The bank was closed somy time ago, but has since beert reorganized and the depositors were paid in full. Major Menzies, of Mt. \ ernon, represented Captain Gillett.

LODGE AND THE RAPACIOUS FARMER.

After five months of investigation he finds that the high prices are caused by the farmers. He charges them with rushing up the price of eggs 100 per cent., of bacon 70 per cent., of ham onethird, of flour half as much again. Mr. Lodge, Mr. Aldrich and their manufacturing friends, who have done all they could to aid the consumer by raising the tariff and enabling him to pay more for everything he buys, are indignant at the way the farmer has acted; To read the Lodge report you would judge that the farmer is rolling in wealth. He must have 'been piling up his ill-gotten gains like hay mounds in the fields, while the poor Xew England manufacturer and the struggling Xew York railroad owner must worry along with a few millions of dollars apiecd, and have to ride in automobiles and private Cars: the farmer mocks them, as he rolls by in his palatial onehorse wagon on -his way to the village store, where he sells ten dozen eggs at a profit of, 8 cents a dozen. The average-.farmer is now piling up wealth at the rate of 5372 a year. He will be shocked and surprised, he will gnash his teeth in rage, when he finds that Lodge has exposed him a malefactor of great wealth. Or, the farmer may be like the ultimate consumer, and consider the Lodge report as the political joke of the season.—Baltimore Sun.

“IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?” Mrs. Mollie Mcßaney, Prentiss, Miss., writes that she had a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble, and that four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy' cured her sound and well. She closes her letter by saying: “I heartily recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy to any sufferer of kidney disease. It saved my life,”— A. F. Long.
