If the insurgent movement within the Republican party is, as some persons have declared, merely in the interests of some candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1912, who is the man? <>ls it Roosevelt or Stubbs of Kansas?

Just as a matter of interesting history it may be stated that the delectable anti-saloon league does not think that county option is a good thing for the people of New York, but does profess to think that is just the thing for the people of Indiana and that Indiana votes should elect a nonpartisan legislature to perpetuate it. The Hon. Albert J. Beveridge also wants a non-partisan legislature to perpetuate him in the United States senate. This community of interests looks more and more suspicious. More custom house-frauds have come to light in New York. Speaking of the sugar frauds sometime ago Leslie M. Shaw, who was secretary of t,he treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet said that when he undertook to act fie

found that ‘‘his hands were tied.” It has never yet been explained who it was tied them. Mr. Roosevelt, who is now busy saying what he will do with “rich crooks or poor crooks” if he gets a chance, failed dismally in tire matter of the custom house crooks who thrived while he was president.

Harding, the stand pat Republican candidate for governor in Ohio, has come out strong for the tariff commission proposition because it will make protection safe and put it “beyond the/reach of progressive Republicans and hostile Democrats.” Harding is the representative of the Taft wing in Ohio politics. But the tariff Commission proposal is mere humbug. The stand pikers declare it will do one thing; the insurgents say it will do another. The Democrats assert that it will do nothing except delay honest tariff reform. And the Democrats are right.

A Washington dispatch says that “it seems altogether likely that one effect of the Maine outcome will be to influence Demo■crats in various states not to be led away from their own party by the insurgent Republican movement.” There is not now and never has been the slightest reason for any Democrat being "led away" by the insurgent Republican movement. If the movement represented anything more than a tight between different Republican elements for the control of their party, it will result in sincere insurgents being led to join the Democrat party. And this is a thing that seems to be happening.

. The Democrats carried the election in Maine because they stood for the things the people want and are determined to have in national, state and local affairs. A Democratic governor and Democratic state officials, supported by a Democratic legislature, were chosen by the voters of Maine because they wanted to change conditions that have became intolerable in the State. In an effort to* correct abuses in the national administration the Democrats were given half of the congressional delegation, heretofore solidly Republican, and a United States senator. The candates that the Republicans elected to congress had their majorities cut down from several thousand to less than three hundred.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENING

It is announced that the Democratic campaign in this state will be formally opened by Governor Marshall in ,a speech at Indianapolis on Monday Oct. 3. On the Saturday proceeding that date John \V. Kern will speak at Evansville and Senator Shively at Laporte. From that time on until election day. November 8, the contest will be waged continuously. There has been already. however, much firing on the picket lines, and this will go on till the pickets and advance guards are swallowed up in the grand sweep of “the line of battle. , rThe Democratic party is compact and aggressive. And what -is more, it is everlastingly -right <fcn all the great questions of the day. Its delegation in congress has stood solidly for the interests of the people. Governor Marshall lias administered the affairs of the state in such a splendid manner as to win commendation from good citizens of all parties. On all hands the party has shown itself clean and capable and to be thoroughly abreast of the best spirits of the day. The people are awake to their interests and they naturally look to the Democratic party for the doing of those things-which need to be done. No hope lies in any other direction. The Republican party is wholly disrupted and discredited. Nothing will give such emphasis to the.protest against the misgovernment of the Republican party as complete and decisive Democratic victory thrcuout the state. So, therefore, when the campaign is opened it will be opened in earnest.

A Washington dispatch says ■ that when President Taft returns to the White House he will find it “spick and span,” with secured and freshly waxed floors and so on. As something like $50,000 a year is spent upon W hite House “repairs” it ought to be “spick and span.” But the wonder is how so much money can be used each year in renovating the president’s residence. It seems to be merely a part of the general policy of waste 'that has characterized. Republican v administration and resulted in a yearly expenditure of i nearly eleven hundred millions of dollars of the people’s money.

CONCRETE WALK EXPLODES

Dublin Folk Startled by Strange, Unusual Sort of Upheaval. Dublin, Ind., Sept. 16. —Merchants and pedestrians uptown were startled by the noise of an explosion that resembled that of gas or some other such force. On investigation it was discovered that the concrete pavement in front of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern interurban station had been upheaved as thought a small earthquake had occurred. The force of the upheaval was so great that it burst a pane of glass from a nearby lamp post and caused the windows of the interurban station to rattle. It is supposed the heat of the sun’s rays had generated gaseous substance, which had gradually accumulated until it caused the explosion.

DAMES AND DAUGHTERS.

Miss Rose Cleveland is giving much time to genealogical research. |, Boston is justly proud of the record made by a fifteeu-year-old girl. Rose Pitouof, who swam from Charlestown bridge to Boston light, covering close to twelve miles In a little short of seven hours. The sportswomen of France, led by Mme. Camille du Gast and Mile Marie Durand, have entered a protest against the campaign against permitting women to take part in sporting contests which is being carried on by Henri Rochefort the editor. ■f ■; ■ • ' ' ' Dorothea Smith, a schoolgirl living in Brooklyn, has received notice of a bequest of $12,000 left In trust for her by Henry Peyser of Brussels. Belgium. She is thirteen years old and will enter the girls’ high school this fall. Peyser, a glove manufacturer in business with Dorothea’s father, Charles E. Smith, died recently In Brussels. Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Democratic leader of the bouse of representatives; returned recently from Edinburgh, where 6he was a delegate to the world’s missionary conference and wrote for the Edinburgh Herald a report of the conference from an American woman's viewpoint. Mrs. Clark and her daughter then toured the continent.

Base Hits.

Four triple plays have been made in the National league this season. Manager Connie Mack of the Athletics cuts in for a quarter of the profits of the Philadelphia club. Jake Daubert of Brooklyn is about the niftiest first sacker in the National league and is as game as they make ’em. Elberfeld of the Washington Americans considers himself the lightest player in the major leagues. He weighs only 135 pounds. • Ping Bodle. the heavy hitting right fielder of the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league, has eclipsed every record made iu league baseball for home runs tfalls far this season. He has been putting the ball over the fences throughout the circuit with great regularity.

Tales of Cities.

In Honan city, distant only two days by rail from Peking, lump silver, the same cumbrous currency that has been used for centuries, i% still employed. Spokane has put a coating of oil on ten miles of streets and is congratulating itself, on the prospect of freedom from dust and the increased attractiveness of the city as a place for homes. No business whatever can now be done on Sundays in the Mexican city of Mazatlan. Heretofore all places of business have been open from 8 till 12 on Sundays, allowing only onehalf holiday to employees in the whole week.

Cheerful Blunders.

Liverpool children are credited with the following cheerful blunders in examinations: The horse is as tall as a middle aged man. The pig has been the goose that lays the golden eggs to many people. Many Americans would not be millionaires without the falsely blamed pig. The pig is a native of China, and it can go into houses and sit down like a Christian. The horse consists of fetlocks, joints, Hank, upper arm and hock. Without these the graceful animal could not, live.

Music Epigrams.

Music fills the present moment more decisively than anything else.—Goethe. No art is more closely connected with the inner life of man than music.— Dr. F. L. Hitter. Music is the art of the prophets, the only art which can calm the agitations of the soul.—Luther. Music ih the works of its greatest masters is more marvelous, more mysterious, than poetry.—H. Giles. Music is the only one of the fine arts in which not only man,-but all other animals, have a common property.—Jean Paul Richter.

The Age of Forty.

Forty is the age at which a man is supposed to be in his prime. Forty is old to a man of thirty and young to a man of fifty. At forty some men quit sowing wild oats and others begin. Forty is an imaginary line between youth and old age. Some men are forty at twenty and some at sixty. At forty a man is supposed to have reached years of discretion, and generally he has unless some woman wills it otherwise.—Chicago Record-Herald.

Waves of Water.

Slow rivers are those which flow at the rate of three to seven miles per hour. The largest gulf in the world is the gulf of Mexico—Boo,ooo square miles—almost twice as big as the bay of Bengal. Investigation shows that the waves of the Atlantic are probably larger than those of any other body of water, teaching forty-two feet. Waves of this lize look much higher from the fleck )f a vessel.
