OH YE OF MIGHTY FAITH.

It is queer and almost uncanny influence that Eugene Purtelle seems to exert over the farmers in the vicinity of Rensselaer. It is not enough that he •hasr lost his franchise in Hammond, Lake county and Crown Point. It is not enough to know that he failed for $750,000 and at the time was branded as a financial adventurer. It is not enough that The Times made a complete expose of Purtelle after a number f well-known Hammond men had invested real money in his enterprise. People still have faith in him in certain parts of the country and especially >ver in Jasper county. If Purtelle'? methods were ail right people would admire the fight he has made to build this line, but when he sends poor, ignorant foreigners to a , Hammond bank to' get funds that" never were placed ■there,’it is time to call a halt. Down a: Morocco they are publishing to the world again that the road will be built in twenty days.—Hammond Dailv Times.

“On the tariff the President occupies the position of a Dr. Jekyli and Mr. Hyde. r declares Oscar Underwood. Democratic Leader of the House. "When tariff legislation is up the protected interests o| America are always able to convert him into a Mr. Hyde, standing for all the indefensible iniquities of a high protective tariff. As soon as the tariff legislation is out of the way. and the big interests have got what they want, and the President's genial smile radiates from the back end of a Pullman car, he becomes a Dr. Jekyli., with the gentlemanly intention of relieving the American people from the indefensible burdens of taxation that his former acts put upon them.”

t Xow that Tatt administration has found itself in the middle of a troubled political stream it proposes to change hor>es. The tariff and reciprocity horse, as a means of carrying Mr. Taft into another term as President, is to be abandoned, and in its place will be substituted the anti-trust horse. The President's friends, and the President himself, are about ready to admit that tl e people will not endorse his tariff program, so he plans now to begin shouting at the trusts in an effort to divert attention from his efforts as a tariff reformer. That this change is to be made in policy- is indicated by Attorney-General Wickersham. who ihas let it be known that he intends to get after some of the big corporations. That President Taft's opposition to the trusts will be about as sincere as his advocacy of tariff revision downward is indicated by his Detroit speech, in whidh he opposed amendment to the anti-trust law.

The finding of the court as to legal signers of the petition and withdrawals to same reduced the number below the required fifty freehold voters of said township.
