THE Fort Wayne News apologizes thus for having to give its readers bo much reading matter about Win. J. Bryan: The statesmanship of the democratic party seems -wrapped up bo completely in one man that it is practically certain that it will have nothing to do at the next national convention except to choose his running mate and adopt a platform. With affairs running so smoothly for the people under republican administration, with prosperity sharing its harvert-with all, with "all kinds of work for all kinds of men," it is just as certain.however, that the people will make no change in 1908. But it is the American privilege to crown a party boss, if any party wants to do so, and the readers of The News will have to bear with the frequent reports of what Mr. Bryan is doing. ' It will be Bryan this and Bryan that in democratic affairs for more than two years, and then wme. The News is, first of all, a veracious newspaper, and means to keep its readers informed at all times about matters of great political interest. A PROPHET is not without honor save in his own district. The sixty-five farmers of Bartholo mew, Ind., who have petitioned the county prosecutor for permission to carry arms to make war on scorching automobilists do not understand their rights under the constitution. But the shooting of chauffeurs is not one of them. ABOUT BOOKS. It has been said that Upton Sin clair's purpose in writing The Jungle was to instruct the world regarding Socialism and draw attention to labor conditions, lie now bitterly com plains that his intent has either gone astray or he is muchly misunderstood. However, could he hope to reach our hearts and minds by nauseating our stomachs? In some quarters it is rumored that his friend Tom Lawson is directly responsible for this method of reforming through garbage literature and the willingness to sacrifice even national credit for cheap notoriety. I must contend that the system of indiscriminate condemnation, because some men are rascals and conduct their business along illegal lines, savors stronglv of Mr. Lawson of Boston. Mrs. Humphrey Ward's new novel. "Fenwick's Career" has elicited many divers? opinions. Some regard it ns almost her best production a statement so frequently made of a good author's latest work while other of the over-exacting type find abundant fault with the fact that she used George Romney, the English painter, for a prototype and then took daring liberties with his life and surroundings. The tale briefly told is as follows: A young painter leaves his peasant wife and child and goes to London to seek fame and fortune. His natural reticence coupled with some mistaken ideas pre-

i vents his acknowledging his raar- , riage. His wife comes to his lodg- : ings in his absence and discovers evijdence which she considers at variance iwith fidelity and leaves fcr parts un-

j known. After twelve years the I truth leaks out, the wife is found land a reconciliation is effected; 'through Fenwlck'ts daughter, and other characters in the book which are of such dominating force as to make the novel a success even if they do not figure in the title. Most of Mrs. Ward's heroines are so bloodless that they collapse with, if not before the story, but in the deserted English wife of a bad Frenchman, tihe has given us a bit of epirituelle femininity that stays with us without and exhibition of exhaustion and yet is s?o delicately elusive that on this character alone the success of the novel is warranted. On the whole, there is a smooth finish to the story and a poise which always characterizes Mrs. Ward's products. There is nothing to wildly sitmulate the imagination or the passions, but it is filled with a calm and strong interest so usual in her novels where every character regards itself from the most serious standpoint; a bit too seriously to suit many readers. It is lamentable that Mrs. Ward, fco great in numerous channels, is completely lost to all sense of humor. As someone has aptly put it: "There is never a twinkle in anybody's eye." (Harper Bros.) THE GADFLY. The Lake Erie &. Western yesterday began the construction of a double track over the Wabash river at Lafayette. The structure is to be G."0 feet long, double track, very iclid'.y Duilt i nc" eve of the best con structed in the state. The company also proposes to lay nine miles of double track between Lafayette and that bridge, and will also lay seven teen miles of new heavy steel on that portion of the road. THE OTHER LEG DIDN'T NEED ANY WASHING. Kind Hearted Old Gent Mixes With "the Kids" in Times Alley and trys to be a Benefactor. An angry looking sore appeared through the grime on the foot of a bare-legged newsboy and arrested the attention of a kind-hearted old gent leman at . the Fayette street end of the "Times Alley" while the boys were waiting for their papers last night. "WThat's that on your foot, son?" asked the old man. "Sore," answered the kid, Bententiously. "Aren't you doing anything for it?" "Naw; that'll be all right." "But it won't be all right. Running around like that you are in danger of tetanus or blood poisoniug. You would not want to lose your foot or your leg or your life, would you?" "Hully gee, no!" exclaimed the boy, picking up the dirty foot and looking at it intently. "It ain't as bad as that, is it mister? Why, it don't hurt." "But it will hurt and hurt badly if you don't attend to it. Here, take this," said the kind old man, writing the words "boracic1 acid" on the margin of a newspaper. "Run across the street and tell the druggist five cents' worth will do. Here's the nickel." "I can't go now," said the kid eyeing his benefactor wonderingly. "I'd miss my turn." "I'll stand here and wait for you. It wont take long," the old man persisted. "All right," said the boy. "But be sure and stick till I come back. I don't want none o' them kids to get ahead of me." "I'll see to that," said the old man. assuringly. "And say, son," as the youth started on the run. "Stop at the horse though and cleanse your feet thoroughly." The boy was back in five minutes. "Is that the stuff?" he asked, holding up a small package. "It is," said the old man, examining it. "Now hold your foot up. There, it won't hurt you." The powder was spread over the ugly sore to a goodly thickness. The old man stood off to look at the job and his eye fell on the other foot and leg, which were still thickly coated with the dirt of the street. "Why, son." he asked, "didn't you wash the other foot?" "O. there ain't nothing the matter with that one," said the kid. resuming the place which the old man had kept for him in the line.

NORTHWEST PROSPEROUS.

New York, Aug.15. The Herald says this morning: J. J. Hill who arrived in this city yesterday from the west is of the opinion that shareholders in that property can rest content with seven per cent dividends. Mr. Hill was asked for his opinion regarding the movement under way by the great rc.ll way managements, especially the Harriman and Pennsylvania interests to inaugurate a series of increased dividends: "As I'm not interested in their properties I don't think I'm called upon to comment on their plans. The Great Northern is paying seven per cent and I think any stockholder should be satisfied with the dividend rate." Regarding an entrance into Seattle by the Union Pacific, Mr. Hill said: "I simply opposed the proposed method of entering the city. It was a question of grade crossings and such matters." Mr. Hill said the Northwest is in a prosperous condition and that crops are large and business conditions generally good. "There is not so much argicultural territory left for development in the V. S.," said he, "and consequently population is becoming more concentrated. This is helping the railroads to show better result. By the way can you deny offhand any rumors that the Great Northern or any other road with which I'm identified has purchased such and such a road. When we desire to enter a new territory we consider it best policy to build our own lines. There's nothing in the story that we've bought the Dakota Midland. I don't even know the location of the property. It is said we intend to build a canal to Greenland but I can state that we have not yet decided on that plan. And there's nothing to announce on the ore deal." FOOTBALL SQUAD ORGANIZED. Mee's Athletic club has come into existence and a football squad for Hammond is coming to the front. The members of the club are some of Hammond's last year's players and the adidtions this year will make the team superior to any that it has yet had. While many honorary members are enrolled the following compose the squad: James McMahon, coach; William Murphy, Wiliam Sigler, Gus Portz, Fred Geib, Earle Cole, Don Waite, Walter Halfman, H. Burge, George Earle, George Heiser, Chalmer Smith, Herman Heimke, Jos. Shaw, manager. PAL OF HOBART BURGLAR CAPTURED. . Max Pujunski was arrested at Knox, Ind., yesterday afternoon on the charge of being implicated in the burglarizing of the Fort Wayne de pot at Hobart yesterday morning. His pal. Joe Rochechair was arrested while standing guard, as Pujunski was rifling the station. The latter escaped, running down the track. When arested he denied that he made an attempt to rob, saying that he was in the waiting room. Rochechair was placed under $300 bond which he failed to furnish and was consequently taken to the Crown Point jail to await a hearing in ths circuit court. Pujunski was also taken to Crown Toint. TO TEACH BY PHONOGRAPH E. Calhoun of the Jones Business college has made arrangements to demonstrate the ability of the phono graph to teach the foreign languages, The demonstration will be made b Prof. Clark Learning of this city, from 1:30 p. m. to 5:30 and J. L Ward, the "Scranton Man," of the International Correspondence School is especially solicitous for anybody who may be interested in this workto appear, as the demonstration is free of charge. 1 MEAN MAN RIGHT HERE.

Standard Oil's Supremacy Seems to Have Passed Away By CHARLES D. CHAM BERLIN, Head of the National Petroleum Association

HE ABSOLUTE DOMINATION of Standard Oil over the business in petroleum products has been broken. I do not mean that the time is near when Standard Oil will cease to

have a great share in the business, but a fair field and EQUAL OPPORTUNITY are in sight for independents, and the developments of the near future will be startling. One company in Cleveland started twenty years ago vith $50,000. It has fought the Standard all the way and now has $2,000,000 capital. Recently it increased its capital to $5,000,000, and the additional amount was OYERSUBSCRIBED almost as soon as the books were opened. That is the experience everywhere. The oil business will have an enormous development, and the independents will get a great share of it from this time forward. S K tt The independents are getting an immense access of business because of the cessation of the aggressive and PIRATICAL METHODS of the Standard in fighting competitors. It is withdrawing from many fields the subordinate companies that used to sail under the colors of "independents" AND DO THE PRICE CUTTING for the Standard. That sort of thing has got dangerous. There is a disposition to expose and punish conspiracies of the sort. THEN THE PUBLIC IS STRONGLY IN SYMPATHY WITH US, AND IT HELPS IMMENSELY. The new railroad law and the powerful movement to enforce the trust laws are doing immense good. FOR THE FIRST TIME WE ARE GETTING AN EQUAL CHANCE, AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE RESTORATION OF PRORATING RATE3 INTO NEW ENGLAND.

Publicity a Great c Remedy By M. E. INGALL5, Banker and Railroad Mianate TBELIEYE the late congress should have' made the Sherman antitrust law so as not to affect RAILROADS. In 1S96, mt, h.t when the Sherman antitrust bill was up, I went to, Washington, but was informed that the lawr would not affect railroads. That year I drew up the association agreement between the railroads. The next year a case was brought against a railroad in Missouri under the Sherman antitrust law. The courts held that the law affected the railroads. The association had to be disbanded and the so called GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENTS entered into. The railroads of this country are great and complicated properties. They have been in the past and are now being well managed. It is true that some wrongs have been committed and also many mistakes. My opinion is that congress should not have bothered so much about a RATE MAKING POWER for the interstate commerce commission. PUBLICITY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR LANDMARK. The limelight should have been turned in on their books, as is done with the national banks. If this had been done there would not be much wrongdoing by any road. We may have had exposes, but the people of this countrv are good and great AT HEART. : THEY WILL BATTLE WITH THESE PROBLEMS, AND WHEN ALL IS OVER IT WILL BE FOUND THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL ERADICATE THE EVILS.
