Running a newspaper is jnst like running a hotel, only different. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the table which •does not suit Wm. he does not raise hades with the landlord and tell him to stop his old hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish to one side wades into the many dishes that suit him. It is different with some newspaper readers. They find an article occasionally that does not suit thsgn exactly and without stopping, to’think it may please hundreds of other readers, make a grand stand act and tell the editor how a paper should be run and what should be put into it. But. such people are becoming fewer every year.

SOLDIERS CROWDED OUT.

Committee Snubbed by Senator Beveridge to Favor Politicians. Senator Beveridge’s speech to veterans of the Civil war at the Marion Club last week, was not attended by the Indianapolis veterans who know about the snub administered by tbe Senator last winter to Major W. W. Robbins and a companion, who appeared before him representing more than 4,000 Indiana veterans.’ “Major Robbins does not feel that it was a personal affront, since be visited the Senator in behalf of others. It is the 4,000 veterans of Indiana who were affronted, he believes, and for this reason he has prepared a statement, telling just what occurred, so that the veterans of Indiana may judge for themselves.

“I can not conceive for what purpose Senator Beveridge would desire to address the old soldiers,” said Major Robbins, “unless to make promises, for truly he could not commend Wmself for anything he has done in the past for the veterans.

“1 was one of two members of a committee which waited on him when he was here last winter. Our mission was to present to him a petition bearing the names of more than 4,000 exsoldiers, asking for the enactment of a dollar-a-day pension law. “We, the committee, waited for an hour and a half before we were admitted to his presence. We presented to him the petition of our comrades, and, after glancing it over, he said it would be necessary for us to secure the influence of the President, the Vice-Pres-ident, the committee on pensions, and the Speaker of the House if we expected to succeed. “We told him that it was for this very purpose that we had called upon him—to ask him, as our representative, to Becure such influence and help us in our efforts.

“Just then his telephone bell rang, and he asked us, the committee, to step Into the hall just a moment, while he answered the call.

"We did so, and remained there for an hour, waiting to be recalled to his presence. But we were never recalled, and finally we went away without further recognition from him. But while we waited, he and his page ushered politicians into his room from the reception hall. “But now that he seeks his personal advancement by re-election, he desires to address my comrades. There is a great difference between then and now. Last winter he could afford to puss, aside the representatives of more than 4,000 ex-soldiers, and let them wait in his hall like schoolboys for a summons that was entirely forgotten in the more pressing business of greeting politicians. Would Senator Beveridge care to explain this action to the veterans he now professes to desire to serve?

“Comrades, yon now have the fruits of Senator Beveridge’s service for years. You have received no favors. And you now have the pledge of Mr. Kern, nominated on a platform embodying a plank declaring for dollar-a-day pensions. Which will yon choose when you go to the polls in November?” ■

Major Robbins is president of the Persimmon Brigade Association, which holds its annual reunion in Indianapolis. He served in Company D. 118th Indiana, and also in Company G. 21st Indiana. He is a member of Major Robert Anderson Poet, G. A. R.,

DEMOCRATS WILL GET CHANCE HOW

Governor Marshall Says Maine Election Shows People Have at Last Awakened. REBUKE TO EXTRAVAGANCE __—. Voters Are Convinced That Protective System, as a System, is Altogether Wrong. (By Guernsey Van Riper.) Indianapolis Governor Marshall arid John W. Kern, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, are among those who rejoice in the Maine < victory, which has given Democrats control of the State for the first tims in twenty-nine years. “The Democratic victory in Maine means that the confidence of the people in a protective system, as a system, has been shaken,” said Governor Marshall. “It means that the people have awakened to the fact that this system is the source of the vast aggregations ' of capital and private fortunes in this country.

“The insurgent vote discloses that the voter is going to put on the Republican ticket, if he can, a man who will help to reduce the amount of protection. It means also that large numbers of these voters will vote the Democratic ticket. It means that they are going to take a little relief if they have to, but they are going to take all the relief they can get. It means that they are going to give the Democrats a chance on the tariff for revenue. If it is a failure, it can be easily changed. “The average wage-earner and man of salary is now so near starvation, owing to the high price of living, contributed to by the protective tariff, that so-called ‘starvation’ doesn’t scare him any more. He eats beans three times a week now and he is willing to run the risk of being compelled to eat them six days a week, if thereby be can stop the rich from growing richer and the poor from growing poorer.

“The result in Maine is a rebuke also to extravagance in public affaiys. Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Taft said they could cut expenses $300,000,000 each year and not impair any department of the public service, but they failed to do it. The average man does not realize that every two years the general government spends more money than the entire tax duplicates, both real and personal, of the State of Indiana. He fails to remember that if all the corn raised in America were dumped each ▼ear into the United States treasury the revenue from it at 50 cents per bushel would not run the government each year. It would pay for about nine months only. He is tired of a system which gives back to the manufacturer all the duties paid on raw material when manufactured and sent out of the country (except 1 per cent), while he himself pays the manufacturer the full tariff on all goods so manufactured and sold In this country. The government authorities tell the people what they have collected, but they do not tell what they have paid back.” Mr. Kern sees also a return to economy and an earnest desire for tariff reform in the Maine election. “The Democratic victory in Maine after twenty-nine years of defeat is highly gratifying to the Democrats throughout the country,” said Mr. Kern. “It is especially gratifying because the victory seems so complete and, overwhelming. This election, taken in connection with the election in Vermont and the special congressional elections In Massachusetts and New York, indicates a desire on the part of the people to return to economical government and to the principle that the burden of taxation shall not be greater than the necessities of the government. The battle In Maine was between the Democrat and the Republican parties, and the battle in i Indiana is 'between the same parties. The question in both instances is this: Are the people satisfied with Republican administration?”

EXTRAVAGANCE ALSO REBUKED.

Congressman Cu I lop Believes People of Maine Knew the Truth. Representative W. A. Cullop, of Vincennes. regards the outcome of the Maine elect km with unusual satisfaction, for one of the issues involved In the overwhelming defeat of the Republican party in that State was national extravagance, which is one of Representative Cullop’s favorite themes: Commenting on the Democratic victory in Maine, he said: “One of the issues of the campaign In Maine which has just closed with victory for the Democrats was the extravagance of the Republican party!. This issue is a prominent one and la siding the Democrats everywhere In their campaign against the Republican “Doubtless, the people of Maine knew of an Ham of egpenee found in the annual report of the secretary of the Senate of the Uhited States, on page 234, connected with the trip to Senator Allison's funeral, from Washington City to Chicago. This Item reads: ‘For incidental expenses, including postage, ,333*60.’ in the language of the late lamented Ches Faulkner, of Ripley county, T wonder what them incidentals is!’ "It will be seen by the above Item that the Republican party, through its

Ugh officials, is paying Ups on parlor and sleeping cars and In hotels out of the public treasury^- This is but a small item, but it shows the recklessness with which the Republican party treats the people's money. What right has a public official to pay tor incidental expenses and Ups out of the public treasury? And yet, by this item, it will be seen the Republican party is doing so. “Again, under items of waste, evidently the people of Maine do not approve of the appropriation of SB,OOO made at the last session of Congress for the maintenance of four horses and two rigs for the secretary of state’s office for one year. It is also evident that the voters of Maine do not approve of paying $75.00 per month for winding four clocks Ixi the House of Representatives and the United States Senate. It is also evident that the voters of Maine -do not indorse the policy of extravagance practiced by the Repnbllcan party in paying out of the public treasury money for cab hire to haul United States Senators home from sessions of the Senate It is also plainly evident that the voters of Maine do not approve of the Republican party in paying out of the public treasury $14,000 for lemonade for the Senators to drink during the consideration of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. U is also manifest that the voters of Maine do not approve of the extravagance of the Republican party in paying $2,861 out of, the public treasury for a stand at the national capitol for the United States Senators to stand on to witness the inaugural ceremonies of President Taft.”
