If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose love would follow me still, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose tears would come down to Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were cursed of body and soul, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! -Rudyard Kipling. SENATOR Beveridge, while his hand is in, should utilize the pen preby Teddy, and which traced the president's signature to the meat inspection bill, in framing some more wholesome legislation. The country can stand a good deal more of the same kind of laws. THE INSATIABLE LEECH IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I have pointed out in previous issues that Theodore Roosevelt promto be "the man of the hour," little dreaming that my sentence was to be so literally true, because, forthat the United States is exto continue after 1908, the executive has developed into a veritleech fucking at the vitals, of our financial standing at home and abroad, and apparently aiming to glorify the name of Roosevelt by a financial slaughter during his term of office. It only needs William Jennings Bryan for his successor, to send this country straight to the dogs. We are on the crest of a wonprosperity, and if we are to guard and preserve it a lot of this public howl must cease. The trust is called a threatening element, but its destruction would spread incalmisery; while in some inmonopoly must be ely treated, don't lose sight of the fact that monopolists have workhard and long and stand worlds higher than the lazy socialist, lying around complaining, till some bompresident shall help him apa share of the monopist's wealth! These states have presentto the world the wonderful specof colonies out-stripping the motherland and deep in the hearts of Europeans lurks suspicion and dislike born of envy and fear, which is doubled and trebled by Mr. Rooseinsistent policy of scouring our institutions and sorting our garbage with comfortable provision through yellow journalism for foreign counto gaze, smile and condemn; to exaggerate our failings and punish as with universal boycott. We have outstripped England by a lack of regard for family sins for she scours in private, so let us follow her examand wash our dirty linen in the private back yard of our own U. S. A. If some changes must be made, the wise, conservative man with his eye to the country's welfare and honor, will effect them without sudwrenches. It is almost an insodemand that because human inare not run on a divine plan, the men who have made this country should not be dragged to disgrace because the populace howls for it: the populace howl not for rights but for a portion of what capitalists have had brains, ambition and ento gain. Those men have made the present standing of this governpossible; it is they and not the idle clamorers, who furnish wealth that a president may draw salaries, make household improveand be given travelling exIf our capitalists had not interested themselves in big financial games, we wouldn't have the milto appropriate for meat inspecCheap publicity and notoriety are at present the only discernible reasons for such strenuous methods and open scandals. Power is a wonderful thing, but it is a thrice wonderful man who can keep from abusing it, and Mr. Roosevelt has tagging in his wake hundreds of petty judges and officials issuing all kinds of damnable orders against trusts, that they may bask for a time in the lime light. Roosevelt is striving to curtail monopolistic prowhich leads to Bryan's lamor to "wipe them out," but let e tell you that the indigent consustained by wealthy citizens and the laborer with his steady employment and full dinner pail who now praise the demolition of

capital, will howl with worse pain when trusts close their factories and purses. The administration will busy its gracious head with curtailcapital until capital will withso that Roosevelt and Bryan may construct what they are so apt

at tearing down. Trusts have made wealth possible for many, and compossible for a multitude, but if their support is withdrawn, it won't be Roosevelt or Bryan or any socialanarchist who will provide the bread, shelter and employment for our laborers. Combinations of wealth--growth and progress of railand corporations have been of enormous advantage to this country. Railroads have made small towns possible, while the trusts have bought

the valuable regions where natural

products and furnished means to imand work coal and oil lands. Thousands of poor have benefitted through cheap railroad rates, and the free transportation which helped the poor to healt hand happiness, is withdrawn through Mr. Roosereform method's. Have the people reasoned how they are to sufin the long run? Of course there is a good percentage of the selfish motive; we all want personal gain whether in money, fame or cheap nobut the people who can do nothing but labor along lines laid out by capital, will be the sufferers when left to their own resources. Unless a conservative man rules at Washington--a man who seeks to preserve this union and purify methwithout screaming our indescrefrom the housetops--this counwill struggle under the hardest times ever recorded. Look at the market! You hear on all sides this soon, cries that the stocks which repour best concerns have forgotthey have a bottom to reach! Roosevelt and Bryan seem to have linked forces to demolish Wall street and when finance is seared and crippled by panic, it will be seen that Roosevelt, Bryan and yeljournalism are the diseases conthe vitals of American fiand prosperity. THE GADFLY. No matter what kind of a canal we have, let it be on the level. At the rate things are going it will soon be as odious to give rebates as to crack safes. The senate are to investigate grain elevators. Very soon the finanof this country may find it necessary to investigate the senate. "The railroads pay their guilty fines, Their agents go to jail. To cure a dog of wicked fleas Why just cut off his tail." Speaking of the tainted beef disan official remarked, "I supwe can live through it." Of course they can. But how about the middle fellow--the innocent cattle growers, for instance. With all the talk of exposing grave wrongs in corporate managethere has been no evidence submitted, nor is any doubt enterof the substantial solvency of American business. I do not hold that our crimes are pardonable because conventional, but we should not be so boldly forced to face disgrace by Roosevelt even if there exists no government with hands sufficiently clean to throw No use counting on the glas house proverb to save us from uni versal condemnation; the nations seem to have moved out of their fraabodes and each one is playing in his own back yard. We are the ones who haven't constructed a fence high enough to prevent th foreign urchins from jeering at our games! Theodore Roosevelt is rapidly transforming into a modern Pied Piper--accumulating a little tin-pan band of cheap officials who will dance us to financial ruin. Our financiers are now being call"Men of twisted morals," by the executive. Well, we are thriving pretty well through the workings and manipulations of these men; we are enjoying a cloud-burst of proswhich would continue indefiexcept that the president feels he has a clear title to the position of "village censor." Having decided on a lock canal for Panama let us hope that Uncle Samuel wont loose the key. THE GADFLY. WITH THE EDITORS.

Let us see, wasn't it Rojsetvensky who fired inthat harmless little fleet of Britfishing vessels with such terrible result? The comments of these same papers at that time regarding ojestvensky would probably read well in parallel columns with their present panegyrics.--Ft. Wayne News. Anarchists arriving from America are being arrested every few days by authorities. This woul be a more serious reflection on th States but for the well known fact that we did not breed the pests They are merely going home when the police seize on them. Our shame lies, however, in the fact that we alour country to be a harbor for these enemies of all that is decent and good.--Ft. Wayne News.

"The origin of the slang phrase '23, skidoo,' or at least a part of it, is easy," says a well known local young man, who prides himself on being more, than ordinarily familiar with languages. "But the use of the word 'sundae,' as the name of oda water fountain beverage ha not, so far as I know, been chased to earth. I have yet to find the sodaman, manufacturer, dealer or drinker who san explain its derivaThe nearest thing to it in the dictinoary is "sundew," which is a flower, and 'sundoree,' which is a fish. Even though the word is of purely fanciful derivation, there must have been some reaosn for its selection." Deafness Cannot be Cured local applications, as they ca reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafand that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you hav a rumbling sound or imperfect hearand when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Humor and Philosophy Dy DUNCAN M. SMITH

CALL OF THE WILD. When the weather man is dishing Waves of heat at every throw, Then if ever man goes fishing Is the time he wants to go. So he fills a brimming flagon, Gets some tackle and a tent And then, jumping in the wagon, Tells the man to let her went. Hear Those wheels Buzzing in your head? Feel That queer sensation Gnawing at you Under your new $1.28 Washable vest? That is the call of the wild. Nature, Who never was bashful, Speaks right up and says: "Man, You blooming chump, Come away From that hot town! Come to the woods, Where there is nothing But solitude And mosquitoes." And, as we said In the delightful And immortal little vers At the top Of this spasm, He goes, Sure, He goes. He doesn't know any better. Though experience Has rapped him over the knuckles Many times, He goes Looking for a bite, And the mosquitoes And gnats, Knowing why he is there, Accommodate him Good and plenty. Her Test. Mabel--Brown is an old bear. Flo--I don't know; he never hugged me. When We Appreciate. We have become so used to the many wonderful inventions and appliances of the present age that we take them as a matter of course, going about our work as though we had always had the locomotive, the telephone, the teleand double jointed collar butIt Is only when some special thing occurs that we are brought up suddenand made to wonder how we would ever get along without them. Such a condition exists at the present moment. If it were not for the Atlancable flashing intelligence under the seas at so much per flash we would never know from day to day what John D. Rockefeller, now rusticating in France, had for breakfast the day before. Of course the world could get along without knowing. So could we get along without suspenders, but we would feel all of the time as though something were lacking. Silvery Linings. There's no use in crying, In moaning and sighing, While sunny days lighten The gray hours of gloom. Be happy, my dearie, And smiling and cheery; Your burden will brighten And blossom and bloom. Purifying Politics. "He would vote for a yellow dog if it were on his party ticket." ment, too, over some of our modern officials, wouldn't you think?" Only In Name. "He is determined after this to lead the simple life." "I had no idea he had as much money as all that." Oh, Mary Jane, your fate is plain, But with the beauties still you rank, Because, forsooth, each smiling youth Knows you have money in the bank! PERT PARAGRAPHS. Some men wear their price mark so conspicuously that it is embarrassing to be caught looking in their direction. seem to be paying more attention to nerve tonics than to whitewash. A good complexion is one that is powder proof. Bachelors buttons are appropriately worn with bleeding hearts. Responsibility sits but lightly upon the man who has given no hostage. would like to have the coal man take notice that while we burn money for pleasure without grumbling, when we burn it for necessities we want our money's worth. An occasional lapse into honesty is apt to prove the undoing of a rascal.

BROKEN WHEEL DERAILS THIRTEEN FREIGHT CARS.

Wreck on Jlichigan Central Delays Through Traffic Several Hours No Serious Accidents. A bad freight wreck occurred on the Michigan Central railroad at Borret's Siding, better known as the cabbage farm Hammond. fifteen miles east of The freight train was going along at a high rate of speed when a wheel broke and thirteen cars were derailed. The train was a long one, pulled by two engines and it was fortunate that none of the trainmen was hurt. The wreck was so complete and in such an isolated spot that it required considerable time to open the track for traffic. Several through trains from the ast were compelled to go back to South Bend, where they went over the Lake Shore railroad to Porter, before they could get back on their own track. The loss of time caused by this round-about trip made these trains from two to four hours late. Wrecking trains from Michigan City are now at work on the derailed cars are rapidly lilting them on the track. MINISTERS EXCHANGE PULPITS. Last Friday evening Rev. L. S. Smith of the First Methodist church received a telephone message calling him to attend the funeral of an old parishoner Sunday, at Delphi, Ind.
