The SIB,OOO launch bought a few months ago for use during Mr. Taft’s summer cruise is now sent to the junk heap. What’s SIB,OOO anyway to a prosperity, high-protection administration. Uncle Joe Cannon said recently that “Beveridge would nfake an ideal peacock with just the * addition of a few feathers.” Which dpubtless, will not comment) Uncle Joseph to the pea- . cock constituency. Are the Republican candidates for congress .in this , state still under pledge to vote for standpatter Crumpacker—the candidate in the steel trust district for speaker (and provided, also, that he is elected ?) And if Cannon shall be tihe caucus nominee will they—if elected —'vote for him? These are questions in which the people are interested. Go after the crooks and I’ll help, just as I have done in the past," said Roosevelt at Buffalo. Will someone point out the par-

ticular crooks that Theodore went after “in the past?” It is only necessary to recall the things that happened while he was president to show how vain would be dependence upon this man, who evidently wants to be a candidate for a third term.

Senator LaFollette, ‘Wisconsin insurgent, declares flatly that President Taft is aiding the regular 5 Republicans in their various state fight§ to wipe out the insurgents. In Indiana, therefore, he is with the Hon. James E. Watson and the other Raders of the “old guard.” But what difference does that make so long as Dudley Foulke and Lucius B. Swift are standing by Beveridge?

In spite of .the fact that the Republican state platform doesn’t say a word about the liquor question, and makes no statement to indicate whether the county option law is to be preserved or repealed in the event that the Republicans control the legislature, the leaders of the Anti-Sa-loon League are still working “tooth and nail” for the election of Republican candidates. Are they doing this in the interest of Beveridge or Hanly—or both ?

John Hays Hammond, president of the National League of Republican Clubs and a friend of the president of the United States is charged with being interested in a scheme .to sell the government some kind of newly mounted gun at the modest little price of $25,000,000 —twenty-five millions, count ’em. The disinterested (?) patriotism which characterizes some of these "higher Up” Republican politicians is the marvel of the new century.

Shank, the Republican mayor of Indianapolis, follows in the tootsteps of Samuel R. Artman, Republican, law partner of J. Frank Hanly, and declares that the aristocratic Republican Columbia club of Indianapolis is a "blind tiger.” Senator Beveridge is a member of this club. In defense of the club it is said that it sells liquors to none except its members, that it could iiot take out a retail license if it wanted to do so, that it does not want to do so, and that it will continue to do business just as heretofore'.

"I will make the corporations come to time as I will make the mob come to time wherever 1 have the power. I will keep order on the one hand and insist on justice from the rich man and the -Corportion on the other,” shouted Mr. Roosevelt from an embankment near the Cleveland station. And it is the same old platitudinous vociferation, which, coming from him, is tommyrot and means nothing, unless it be that he is now making a preliminary campaign for a nomination for a third term. Words, words, words and still more words. That is the Roosevelt way. At another place he said: “Attack a man because he is crooked. If he is- poor and crooked attack him. If he is rich and crooked attack him."

Tlie claim of the Beveridgeites that a Republican legislature is necessary to prevent the Democrats from making an unfair apportionment of the legislative and congressional districts is pure poppycock. In an interview which has had wide circulation. Judge Charles E. Cox. Democratic nominee for the supreme court from the Indianapolis district, slroWs how it has been demonstrated that an unfair apportionment will not be allowed to stand, for constitutional reasons. Besides, it has been pointed out that if two Democratic judges are elected the supreme court will still have a majority of Republicans' on its bench. But above beyond all this is the certainty that a Democratic legislature will not even attempt to make fan-unfair apportionment. Fhat- sQrt of thing is, we hope, past ifi} Indiana. The Democrats stand pledged to good laws and good ; government. and that pledge will be kept.

POLICY OF THE FISH AND GAME COMMISSIONER.

George W. the new fish and .game commissioner appointed by Governor Marshall, has appointed art entirely new force of (Jeputies and has made a radical change in the methods formerly in vogue in the office. Professional or habitual violators of]

the law, belonging to the class commonly known as "fish and game pirates,” will be shown no mercy but a different policy is to be pursued toward persons who transgress without real intention, though the bars will not be let down. According to an article in the Indianapolis News, the general policy of the new commissioner is indicated as follows ‘‘By the fish and game pirate Mr. Miles refers to the fish and’ game law violator who studies the art of violation and followws it systematically. This class of person, he believes, is the class which is instrumental in depleting the streams of fish and the woods of game birds. The real sportsman, he says, knows the law and has regard for it, because lie recognizes its value. The farmer and farmer boy, and the hunter of the village or small town, he says, as a rule, are ignorant of the letter of the law and may transgress it, but wifll not willingly or knowingly. •‘lt is the plan of the commissioner to deal leniently with the latter class of citizens. The deputy who discovers such infractions is instructed to inquire into the situation before making an arrest, and if it is found that the purpose of the administration can be served without a trial in court, the court must be avoided. Deputies operating under the new order of things report that they are meeting with great success in the enforcement of the law and that the law is being regarded much more highly than formerly.”

Verse Reform.

The printer is a strange concern. His type is wrongside to, And all he does is backward from The way he ought to do. E. g., tor instance, when he sets A poem up, you know. He evens out the left hand side And lets the right side go. But isn’t that a foolish way? You’d think that every time His lines came out unequally He’d even out his rime. Now, if my method comes in style, Dear reader, when you see The rimes lined up all straight and trim You’ll know it’s poetry. ’ —Roy Temple House in Puck. Musings of the Office Boy. Dey’s more’n one way to skin a customer. Try to suit ev’rybody and you might as well look for a new job. Most stenbg’s can bold their jobs if there’s plenty of good spellers in the office. Yon most always meet somebody you don’t want to if you sneak round to a ball game. I heard the boss and the stenog* make a agreement one day not to never eat no more onions. You get docked if you are late, but nobody ain’t. willin’ to pay you any more if you are a long ways ahead of time.—Boston Herald.

Just Acting Natural. “Few people are able to keep from letting money make a difference.” “In what way?” “Why. when they get rich most people at once assume a different attitude toward others—hold their beads high and permit their looks to tell you that you are at liberty to think what you please about them.” “That is no indication that they are different from what they were before they had money. Most of us feel that way all the time, only we can’t afford to show it until we get the cash.”— Chicago Record-Herald. Natural Inference. “By George, but 1 feel strong and vigorous!" said the summer boarder at Meadowview cottage breakfast table. "I just walked all the Way down to the village and back. ” “1 could have saved you all that trouble, old man.” whispered a new arrival. ”1 got two quarts of the real old stuff In my grip!”—Denver Republican.

Th* Eternal Question. A teacher was trying to explain the dangers of overwork to one of the smaller pupils. “Now. Tommy.” she pursued, “If your father were busy all day and said he would have to go back to the office at night what would be be doing?’ “That's what ma wants to know.”— Life. t , Not So Bad. Mrs. Myles—You weren’t -at the bridge party yesterday? Mrs. I was detained by sickness at home. . “So sorry! 1 hope your dear little dog Fido wasn’t sick?’ “Oh, no; only one of the children?*— Yonkers Statesman. \ Love! Nelly—Mr. Welloff asked my opinion about sending you a birthday present, and 1 told him you had stopped having birthdays five years ago. Was that right? ivy—Yes, I believe so. At least it was three years after yon stopped.— New York Journal-

Hunting News. “Poor Henpeck! Every time he starts to say anything his wife stops him.” “Not always. He has a habit of talking in his sleep, and when he does that she just listens breathlessly.”— Catholic Standard and Times.
