If Roosevelt is willing tQ support an insurgent in one place and a standpatter in another, what does his support amount to? Who does he expect to deceive or mislead by this sort of double-dealing with the public?

In referring tor'-'the insurgents Speaker Cannon said: "I don't want them shot, but they should be hated and despised by everybody.” “Uncle Joe” thinks that if tfhev really believe many of the things they profess to believe they should join the Democratic party and quit calling themselves Republicans. And why don’t thev take him at his word and do h?

Just four years ago Theodore Rcosevelt, then president, wrote a letter to the Hon. Jim Watson. lhat letter Theodore declared m favor of the rankest sort of fttaadpaltism. If he has changed tfe mind he hais not told anyone ftUpftt it—-not publicly, at least. P&top* those eminent Republiaft feadop and Beveridge cammanagers, Foulke and can throw some light on

- A dispatdh says that while discussing the various schedules of the Payne-Aldrich bill, Speaker Cannon referred to the attitude of “Bristow and Beveridge, and all of these Democrats." W hy, Circle Joe! Beveridge says herjUands with'you and Taft and SB the | other, regulars • n everything .except tire tariff. And on that the only apparent diffcrence i- as to the mere amount <•? the '’protcqite" graft • tint c* mgre'S riioiiltUlegalize, There is no difference ' between v u at all on cl ‘-• ,v ' u. t should be legalized. TO- be a Democrat Mr. -Beveridge mit-t oppose the graft in into.

Pile statement niage by the Patriot Phalanx, state .>rgan of the Prohibition party, that every Anti-Saloon League officer in Michigan votes tlre Republican ticket will’ not surprise any Intelligent person in Indiana. In this state they both vote and work for the Republicans. Two years ago tire ’’non-partisan" appeal sent out to Democrats by the Anti-Saloon League was signed by seven persons—everyone being a Republican and all intending to vote the Republican ticket. Besides, these "appeals" were sent out under he auspices of the Republican state committee. .

Two years ago when Tames E. Watson anti James A. 11 emenu ay were fighting for their political lives, they appealed, it is said, to one Albert J. Beveridge to arouse his friends in their behalf and also to actually enter the campaign in this state. But Albert J. was too busy making his "special train’’ trip over the country and having a “good time" to think abetut Watson and Hemenway. He could not have saved Watson and Hemenway—lie can not even save himself this year — but he might (have tried. The fact that he would not even try is one of the things that naturally is Wt forgiven by the two eminjgin regulars and their friends.

The United States government is going after the bathtub trust, but the food trust is doing a prosperous business at the old stand, raising prices every day or so, and swelling its already enormous dividends. The tub trust, the tooth brush trust, trie nail file trust, the looking glass trust and such things as that have got to look out for the attorney general- trust-busting goblins. Not so, I’nowever. with the food trust. Jt is in no danger. The government. apparently, doesn’t consider the manipulation of the price of necessities of life —the thiqgs that the people must have as of much importance' But woe to rhe men who combine to raise the cost of bathtubs! The right of the people to live may be left to the discretion of the food trust, but the right to batrie is inalienable arid must not be abridged.

An article in Hampton’s Magazine for August points out many instances in which Roosevelt has allied himself with those opposed reforms of any sort in order to try to defeat men who were really trying to dp something worth while. The writei of the article, however, overlooks Roosevelt's impudent interference in the Chicago city election two years ago. In that election he brought the whole influence of t*he national administration to the aid of the notorious Flusse. Republican candidate for mayor, and against Edward F. Dunne, the Democratic mayor and candidate . for re-election, who was one of the best and cleanest officials the city ever had. dhe many scandals of the lUisse administration are known the country over. And now Roosevelt will come into Indiana and speak for Beveridge.

The recent interview with Governor Marshall prinfed in the Xew York W orld and reproduced throughout the country has attracted very marked and favorable attention in all quarters. It is conceded that nothing better or more to the point has been said in many years. Without a waste of words Governor Marshall Showed how good government may be had and only how if: may be had. One influential paper in commenting on the interview, said: “We learn from Governor Marshall that we, shall continue to have .unrest until we have public officials <who acknowledge allegiance to nothing but

the constitution, and people who are not satisfied with any other kind.*’ And tlien it adds: “No true citizen can question the validity of these propositions, and, indeed. trieir acceptance by •the people is becoming dailv m* re convincing." ■ ,

THE FOOD TRUST AND HIGH PRICES.

The .worst-'of the trust which have grown up under the unwise policies of the Republican party ■the i<*od trust, it ■ perates berwet n t v producers and the con--mrier- of foodstuffs. Its member- grow c instantly richer ■ whiic fho.-e wh > produce make •e profit arid those who consume pay er >rmou~ prices. In n* > tiller country on earth arc the food -r.pplie? suffered to be monopolize*! as t'hey are in the United-States. Meat, fowls, fish, eggs, butter, vegetable- and fruit —in fact all of the vital necessities- —-are coinr*-Ik 4 , by the pack- • ers and cold storage people and ; doled out to the people at their own prices. As the Indianapolis News says. "When there is a drop in the prices of raw food Che consumer does not get the ; benefit. Farmers are getting onej fifth to one-sixth less for cattle and hogs than they got last winter, but the consumer has had jno reduction. Milk goes up in price at the time of year when jit should be cheapest. Eggs present the same condition. The conclusion is that there is so much money in handling food and so little in raising it trial a skilled, rich and powerful class of food middlemen has developed.’ They have not only developed, hut they run things their own way without any real effort being made to prevent their exactions.

AN HISTORIC PARALLEL.

j I was nominated for Governor j April 2, 1908; resigned from the , ways and means committee in June, 1908; the tariff hearings by that committee began in July, 1908. I was in the campaign in Indiana from July 1 until election day, November 6, 1908; the special sesj sion began in March. 1909, and only the very elect can thus see what my alieged conduct in 1909 had to do with my defeat in 1908 — but that is one of the charges made b>-Mr., Fish. —The Hon. Jim Watson. in reply to the Hon. Ham Fish. That looks like a sockdologer of an answer, and no mistake. But there is awfully good Republican precedent for just trie sort of reasoning that the Hon. Jim charges the Hon. Ham withal. FYom Republican stumps innumerable. from Republican papers countless, from Republican statesmen of highest repute numberless, it has been dinned into the ears of the American people that the panic of 1893 was the direct and natural consequence of trie Wilson-Gorman tariff legislation, which was not enacted until many months afterward ! —lndianapolis News.

HOT REPLY OF WATSON

Denies That He Furnished Inside Information to the “Interests.” Indianapolis. Ind.. July 26. Former ex-Congressman James if. Watson. Rushvilie. right-hand bower of Speaker Cannon and "whip” of the House, when his term ended two year ago after Ciis defeat • lot* Coventor of Indiana. to-night in a signed statement to the Indianapolis Star i delivered a red-hot reply to the ! charges of Representative H amilton Fish before the Onieda County Republican Club, Utica,' : Y.Y~rthat Watson took advantage of his membership of the I Comimftee on Ways and Means | on information to the "interests." j during the framing of the PayneAldrich -bill. Representative Fish’s statements have received wide cir- | culation in Indiana. WatsonV | followers say they are being ! used to discredit him on account lof his determination to defend [the Payne-Aldrich law. Fish ; declared that W atson had ac- | cess to all of the information I gathered by the t W'ays and | Means Committee on the tariff. | and that he knew the inquiries it made to the Government Consuls and others. He charged that Watson appeared before the committee as paid representative of certain interests. Watson declared that he resigned from the committee before April, 1908, to accept the nominatibn for Governor, and that Congressman Crurripacker took bis place on the committee at that time. \ "
