.k Nearly everyone has his Idea how a newspaper ought to he edited and a popular pastime for gentlemen of leisure and bulging brain is to inform the benighted and newspaper-oppressed public what they would do If they ran a newspaper. The experiment of allowing what might be called the newspaper layman to Bit in the sanctum sanctorum and get out a paper for a day as accords with his ideas is often carried out. It gives the editor a chance to breathe regularly and amuses the public. A St. Paul clergyman recently had turned over to him a leading St. Paul dally for a day. He was given absolute authority In everything, and this is what distinguished his paper: Scare head, across first page: "FORSOOTH BROTHERS, a fellowship is heaven, and the lack of fellowship is hell; fellow is life and the lack of fellowship is death; and the deeds that we do upon the arth it is for fel'owshlp's sake and ye do them. There I bid you to not dwell in hell but in heaven, upon earth, which is a part of heaven and forsooth no foul part." Wm. Morris.

A story about a . Columbia graduate turned burglar was' headed, "Burglar with education; needs still more." Mills was a vigorous editor. He was at the office, early, getting the reporters in line for his method. These are some of his rules: "Write every story as if you were the man in it.

Talks. ' By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin- A. Nye. KEEP CLEAN INSIDE. Young man: Deliberately insult the man who starts to tell a smutty story in your presence by turning on your heei. Such a corraptionist has no more right to steal your pure' thoughts than ho has to put his hand into your pocket and take your money. These retailers of filth are whited sepulchers clean on the outside, but inwardly filled with dead men's bones. They are debauchers of clean minds, robbers of purity. You should never permit yourself to listen to an improper story a story you would not care to repeat to your mother or your sister. The filthy suggestiveness will soak into your memory as spilled ink soaks into blotting paper. Allow no man to drag your mind through a sewer. Do you know there is many a man who would sacrifice much today to be Rble to wipe from his memory some of the things he listened to when a boy? The man who will deliberately repeat ft risque story in the presence of a youth deserves no respect. He is an incarnate devil of meanness. He is daubing a coarse picture on clean walls. No gentleman will tell a story he could not tell in the presence of ladles. Do you remember what General Grant said to the officer who began to tell a story, remarking, "There are no ladies present," whereupon the silent soldier quickly retorted, "There are gentlemen present?" Keep your mind unsullied. A foul suggestion may harden into a habit of thought that will lead you far astray. Keep clean inside. It is more a matter of Importance that yon should keep the dirt off youi soul than to keep It off your clothes. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Wild man Is reported as living in a cave in Mlanus, Conn. If you have ever been to Mlanus, you will understand why he went wfld. It is high "time that" May quit run ning around in April's clothes." Only a woman enn smile her sweetest when her words are dip ped in bitter gall. Again we have to swear by Bob Evans. Bob says: "What this coun try needs is more battleships and fewer statesmen." NO MAN n.4S A CIXCII IN THE WIDOW PROPOSITION FOR SHE KEEPS THE WISEST WTG GUESSING BOTH GOING AND COMING AND HE STANDS TO LOSE ON THE HUNCH. Some of our enterprising newspaper correspondents around these parts must be asleep. None of them have seen Mrs. Gunness yet. Card parties are often places where shrouds are made for dying reputations. The fine work of the Gunness horror must make Lady Macbeth rattle her bones and think what a piker she was. A good name keeps its lustre in the dark, but even at that it is better to keep the switch turned on. Insurance company has decided to limit liability to $100,000 In event of suiciae. xnis win proDaoiy nave a tendency to cut down the gas bills and hurt the sale of carbolic acid. Woman Is the partner of our Joys and. woes those sharing with us being her own creations. It's about time for some one to dig up a letter from Lydia E. Pinkham. Our snake editor avers that an Eagle does not like to get his wings wet. CHEERFULNESS IS THE SUNSHINE OF LIFE AND MANY OF US FOR FEAR OF THE FRECKLES KEEP IN THE SHADE. And possibly Mr. Hearst may change his mind and run for president if a certain other distinguished person sets the example. ANOTHER STATE FOR TAFT. Spokane, Wash., May 14. The repub lican leaders of Washington have rounded up here today to elect both the delegates-at-large and the district delegates to the' national convention Though the La Follette candidacy has attracted some attention in this state it has aparently made no serious in road on the Taft strength and the Indications are that Taft will be indorsed by the state convention with I little or no opposition. ...

Acting against the advice of National, President Thomas L. Lewis, who delivered an impassioned speech to the delegates to the convention of the mine workers of district number 11 the miners went out on a strike. Russiaville's branch of the W. C. T. IT. has gone on record as being opposed to sweet cider. The decision is that although the drink may be palatable and harmless, yet it is possible that a preverted appetite for the beveredge may be developed. The trustees of Indiana University held a meeting last evening and selected Edwin Coor of Bloomlngton to act as treasurer of the university until the end of the present school term. He succeeds Nat. U. Hill, recently deceased. A mule caused a wreck to a freight on the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania railroad near Columbus which resulted in the killing of Engineer William H. McGregor of Louisville. After fifty-two hours search in Flatrock Creek, by persons who have worked constantly since Sunday afternoon when Ralph Negle, the 12-year-old son of Lou Negle, dlsw-ppeared, the body was found caught in a barbed wire fence. The finding of the body of Joe Fel lows will establish the fact that there have been a series of cold-blooded murders and robberies for gold In Knox county in the vicinity of Vincennes in the last few months. Forty-eight graduates of the Indiana IN POLITICS The political battle between the democrat and republicans this year starts out In an unusual way. In other words, both parties appear rather at sea just how they will start the ball a-rolling In Lake county. A dispatch from Washington says Congressman Watson, the republican candidate for governor, is willing to meet Thomas R. Marshall, his democratic opponent, on the stump in a series of Joint debates, on6 debate to be held In each congressional district. Raymond, the Washington corres pondent of the Chicago Tribune, made public the fact that his ballot shows Johnson and Douglas In the lead for second place on the democratic ticket, Bryan being conceded first place. Noblesville, Ind., May 13. A. A. Phillips, deputy revenue collector of this city, has forwarded his resignation to Elam Neal, asking its immedi ate acceptance, in order that he may engage in business here. Mr. Phillips has been in the revenue service for nine years, having been appointed while residing at Atlanta, this state. The Bryan club of Valparaiso met last night and the following officers were elected: President C. J. Kern. Vice President Attorney Ballinger. Secretary H. W. Harrold., Treasurer Dr. George R. Jones. The present quarters will be re tained for the campaign and another meeting will be held at the same place in two weeks. Washington, May 13. The "center rush" movement of the Taft machine to open a clear field for its candidate has failed. The overtures to the friends of the several "field" candidates have been rejected. Not one of them received a moment's consideration. In keeping with the character of the cam paign that has been conducted by the Taft machine from the beginning, wide publicity was given to stories designed to leave the Impression that the "field" candidates were half inclined to give up the fight. In the opinion of disinterested observers nothing goes farther to prove the weakness of the Taft cause than this effort to create the impression that the "field" candidates were to retire. Perhaps there is no man In public life today who has been more grossly misrepresented than has Mr. Fairbanks. His modesty has been misunderstood, and he has been represented as one having no opinions of his own as a negative character with a disposition that would chill the blood of an Arctic bear. The impression that Mr. Fair banks Is "chilly" has been pretty well dissipated by acquaintance. A few small editors are still playing with the echo of the charge, but the leading writers of the country now confess that they were mistaken. And if the vice president's critics will but read his speeches they will find that he has de cided opinions concerning questions of national Import. His speeches reflect the very highest ideals of statesman ship. His utterances can't help but ap peal to a large number of thoughtful citizens who believe it the part of statesmanship to stake out the principles and leave the legislative bodies to fight out the details. Mr. Fair banks speaks in the same key as did McKinley, and as president he would be founddependable as McKinley was found to be. Lafayette Journal. Take THE TIMES for its political news until after the election. Not for its republican news, not for itw demo- ' cratio news, but for both aides.

Bloodhounds were brought from Indianapolis to Ri3lng Sun for the purpose of discovering whether It will be possible to discover the Identity of the "nlgh raiders" who have been destroying the crops. An Indictment In two counts alledging that he solicited , and accepted a bribe of $75 from Willis E. Thompson, a local contractor, has been returned by the Madison county grand jury against Francis M. Hardy. The Millgrove lodge of Red Men at Hartford City bears the distinction of having a larger number of members than there are people in the city. The lodge was organized several years ago and there are a large number of out of town members.

THE CREAM OF THE Morning News It is said that President Roosevelt's foes in the Senate are routed, the Brownsville case going over to Dec. 16, and Senator Raynor's resolution being referred to a committee. Sepclal House committee investigating the paper industry must decide on course of action at once if remedial action is taken at this session of congress. The amended Veerland currency bill Is likely to pass the House today and go to the Senate, where it is planned to substitute the Aldrich measure and thus throw the whole subject into conference. In the Senate Senator Elkins speaks in favor of the joint resolution sus pending the penalty feature of the commodity clause of the interstate commerce law.

The republican state convention to choose eight delegates and an equal number of alternates to the Chicago convention was called to order in the opera house here this morning. The rivalry between the two factions of the party, the "stalwarts" and the "insurgents," lends Interest to the convention, as reflecting the probable lineup and relative strength of the factions in the senatorial contest to come. Both factions are for Taft, so the contest has no outside significance. The convention is expected to give a hearty Indorsement to the presidential candidacy of the secretary of war.

Voice of the People Office, Christian Science Committee on Publication for Indiana, Indianapolis, May 12, 1908. To the Editor, Dear Sir: In your issue of recent date I find the report of another sermon on Christian Science by Rev. William F. Switzer. It would seem that in this second sermon he has both failed to refute our own arguments and has signally failed to bring forth any new argument to support his unreasonable contention that if Christian Science teaching were followed out it would prove "the destruction of the morals of the community." Indeed, we hardly feel that Hammond people will take such a statement seriously even from their pastor, or expect a substantiation thereof on his part. Our rquest that the gentleman confine his quotations on the subject of Christian Science teaching to the latest revised edition of 'Science and Health," was as much in his interest as in our own, and we do not yet understand why he persists in studying an unfriendly criticism of Christian Science and presenting such doubtful evidence to his flock, when the authoritative text-book is available. We would suggest that our readers procure a copy of this book and determine for them selves the merits and demerits of this system of teaching. Our critic's inti mation that Christian Scientists claim this book to be "the Holy Ghost" is preposterous. Christian Scientists have their own Interpretation of the promise of the Holy Ghost or Comforter and of the second coming of Christ, and they certainly have a right to their own interpretation to any part of the Scriptures, nor can any one reasonable gain-say them the right to revise their own Ideas and interpretations when ever deemed advisable. "Science and Health, with Key to The Scriptures," the text-book of Christian Science, Is what Its name implies, a COM MENTARY on the Scriptures, calcu lated to elucidate the teachings of the Bible. Our god critic doubtless has recourse to such Bible helps in his preparation of sermons, and doubtless uses the best, by the latest writers, or revised editions of the earlier writings. As we progress we revise our theology as we do our Arithmetics, but such reasonable change does not imply re vision of unchangeable mathematical principal of our God pr of his Christ. If Christian Science teaching is "utterly bewildering" to our critic, how can he reasonably venture to enlighten others on the subject? May we not cita, in conclusion, the fact that Jesus implied sin, disease and all evil to be the direct emination from Satan or the Devil, designating the latter "a liar and the father of it," while, according to generally accepted scriptural narrative, evil in its inception resulted directly from Eve's be. life and its effects are wiped out and and man. Here we feel sure Is clear evidence that evil is unreal. It is not reasonable to argue, however, that consequently evil and Its inevitable results are not to be met and mastered. Any lie believed ruptures harmony, but when once seen to be untrue, a restoration of harmony results, both the lite and its effects are wiped out and rendered harmless. Herein also is illus trated tne deep significance or our Lord's atonement and of the need of grace. Jesus declared that he came "to destroy the works of the devil," a lie and a liar, and in so doing he was "tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin." Significantly, how ever, did he command "The works that I do shall ye do also." He suffered, died and rose to accomplish man's salvation, but only in the sense that h became the "first fruits." If our critic

has some method better than that dt

HEATH BAWDEN. Christian Science, something. In re--llgion that seems . a more sure and scientific way of complying with our Lord's command to ' relieve distressed and sinful humanity should he not for" that very reason be "constructive rather than destructive"?

Nearlv 1.000 delegates and many visitors filled the Auditorium when the convention was called to order at 11 o'clock this morning by Chairman Frank A. Day of tha state committee. Earlier in the fore noon the delegates from each of the congressional districts had met in caucus and selected the names of two dele gates to be recommended to the con vention. Though defeated in the pri maries last week the supporters of William J. Bryan were reluctant to give up the fight. Despite anything; the Bryan element may do. however, it is regarded as a certainty that the twenty-two delegates from Minnesota, will cast their votes for Governor Johnson at the Denver convention next July.
