Griscom appears to have usurped the place formerly occupied by William Dudley Foulke.. But as Foulke just now has the Beveridge campaign to look after and must keep both eyes on Watson?- Hemenway, Fairbanks, Durbin and regulars, he will not mind.

A Republican newspaper that knows Roosevelt for what he really is says that after awhile he will probably discover the Ten Commandments and proclaim them as original conceptions of his own. But he will not dp it without modifications. A man who can see no merit in the constitution of the United States is not likely to accept the ten commandments as they have been handed down; Those eminent assistant managers of the Beveridge campaign, William Dudley Foulke and Lucius B. Swift, have had high renown as “mugwumps.” According to the dictionaries a mugwump is a “bolter” or an “independent.” It is not difficult

to understand, therefore, why the regular Republicans reseat being led by the Hons. Foulke and Swift? The latter gentleman, however, don’t care a hoot about what the other fellows think. They look upon Beveridge as belonging to their own political class ami the regularas mere disturbers of the peace. Roosevelt declares that he Tvafiits a "new nationalism” in which a strong central government shall be the leading feature. He is telling the people, in effect, that the way to preserve their liberties is to give up their 'local governments and turn the management of about everything over to the government at Washington. As 'eventreader of history knows, liberty lies in local self-government and tvranny and despotism in concentrated power. And yet Roosevelt asks the people of the United States to join him in estab-, fishing a sort of Russian autocracy at Washington! He. of course, expects to be the first czar.

Some or the republican papers of the state and the anti-saloon league are considerably wrought up over the question as to what attitude Mr. Bryan will take, if any. with respect to the temperance question in this state. But there should be no doubt as to what the Nebraskan will say if he discusses the'question. He will simply point out the fact that the Republican platform is silent on the temperance question while that of the Democrats contain an explicit promise of local option ami wise temperance legislation: and that, such being the case, the Democratic candidates for the legislature are entitled to the support of all sincere temperance people.

When he returned from the ‘“New Hampshire hills” about the first of September, Mr. Beveridge proclaimed with a great shout that he was “mighty glad to get back to Indiana." He is always glad to get back to Indiana When he wants something in this state that he can't get anywhere else —which is an election to office. When he has nothing of that sort on his mind he stays away. It is a notorious fact that since his first election to the senate he has been practically a non-resident of Indiana. In theory he maintains a home in Indianapolis, but a matter of sact —as the people of that city well know —his residence there is a myth except in a merely legal sense. It would be mpch' more becoming if Mr. Beveridge would appeal to the denizens of the “Maine woods;*’ or the “New Hampshire hills." or the “Atlantic coast" or other places where he stays instead of asking to be again elected to office by the peoof Indiana.

The Republican campaign textbook prepared and issued by the congressional committee, js. says a Washington despatch “bound to add to the merriment, if not the complications, of the season in politics. It bears the earmarks of standpat influence in the* making, gives prominence to Canndnites in congress, and by ignoring progressives in presenting speeches for public consumption preliminary to the fall battle is likely to put President Taft to harder personal efforts than he already has made to bring about harmony and keep all the fat from falling into the fire." The insurgents are ignored. The book contains standpat literature without end but none of the insurgent kind. So. therefore, the irregular orators must perforce hunt up and arrange their own dope. The Ohio platform, which is supposed to be a "model." is included in the book, but the Indiana insurgent platform is not used. Xor is that stupendous "Powers of Pillage" speech bv the Hon. Albert Beveridge even referred to.

HERE IS A HOT ONE!

Roosevelt on Campaign Funds in 1908 and in 1910. Colonel Roosevelt's “new nationalism’’ platform was filled with eternal truths in which he had aways believed. One o> these related to the purity of the methods of political campaigns. The use of “corporate funds” in politics should be prohibited by law, now that . x Cortelyou and and Bliss have got through collecting them for Roosevelt. That being settled, tbe next thing is

publicity of campaign expenses. At Osawatomie it was roundly declared: "It is particularly important that all moneys received or expended for campaign purposes should be publicly accounted for not. only after election but before election as well." Excellent! The political moralist has spoken. But can fie be the same Theodore Rooseyet who, less thap two years ago. took directly the opposite ground ? From a letter to Mr. Bryan, dated at Washington. September 27, 1908, and signed "Theodore Roosevelt.” we learned at the time that it would be highly improper to make public campaign contributions before elections. That there may be no mistake about the matter we print the two opinions in parallel columns. ROOSEVELT ROOSEVELT A'jpßt XI.

IN SHADOW OF CROSS

Marvel of Art World to Be Shown at State Fair. ? ■' . , I. - “In the Shadow of the Cross” is the title of an unexplained miracle picture of Christ that will be one of the chief novelties of the Indiana State Fair the week of September 12. This painting is one of the marvels of the art world and is owned by Dr. W. S. Wright, a millionaire philantrophist of Washington, who for thirteen years has been exhibiting It and giving the proceeds, amounting to thousands of dollars, to worthy charities. It was a feature of the exhibitions at St. Louis, Jatnestown and Seattle and 4,000,000 people have seen it in the forty cities where it has been displayed. Its value la indicated by the insurance carried on It —1120,000, or >40.000 each for fire, accident or theft It will be shown at the fair in a building especially erected for iL

The celebrated painting Is the work of Henry Hammon Ahl, educated in the art centres of Europe. He returned to America, his native land, in 1896, opened a studio, and turned his attention to religious subjects. Among other works, he began painting a full length figure of Christ, his object being to produce an ideal portrait. At first he did not succeed in obtaining bis ideal and the canvass stood, a source of vexation to him. But one day the artist was suddenly impressed, after more work had been done on it, with the realization that he had at last conceived the ideal sought after and he immediately painted the wonderful countenance of the Master now shown in the picture. Not long after, the artist, having to go to his studio on an errand after night, was astonished to discover that his picture could be distinctly seen in the dark, and that Christ appeared to be walking in pale moonlight, while above and behind Him could be seen a cross. The artist's first impression was that the moon was shining through an open window upon the canvass, and that the cross was a shadow. He soon discovered that a strange phenomena bad taken place in connection with his picture, and, as he had only used commonly-known pigments, he soon realized that the strange quality of his picture was beyond his power tb explain. He was so profoundly imhe refused to finish it, and the picture remains unfinished to this day. After Dr. Wright purchased me canvass. the painting was taken to Washington where it was shown to many scientific men who acknowledged their Inability to explain the phenomenon. It created a sensation among the clergy, who have preached more than three hundred sermons on it. Chemists declare that there Is nothing known to chemistry that will cause the wonderful amount of luminosity that emanates from the painting. It is expected to be of particular Interest to religious people who see it at the state fair,
