BRYAN THE

REPORTS FROM DENVER ARE to the effect that Bryan will be nominated on the first ballot and that he will have his hand in the selection of a

running mate and the platform. It is a most anomolous situation. A poll of the Illinois delegation would reveal the fact that not 20 per cent of the delegates favor hl nomination and not 10 per cent believe he has any chance of election. What is true of Illinois is doubtless true of Indiana, Ohio and other central state bound by Bryan instructions. In the East there is no enthusiasm for him and states like Maryland, West Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, which under the existing circumstances, could be carried by Johnson, Gray or Francis will repudiate Bryan by an overwhelming vote. Any of these men named would have a splendid chance In Minnesota, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, all of which are hopelessly lost to the man from Nebraska. Still, with this condition confronting the delegates, Bryan overrides the convention and leads the party to certain defeat, according to members of his own party. The trouble lies in the fact that the northern democrats have lost heart. Year by year their ranks are growing thinner, election after election is lost because of Bryan's domination or threats of destruction. The opportunity is offered the delegates at Denver to select a standard bearer and adopt a platform that would insure success in November but there is not strength, virility or courage enough left in the ranks to take the situation in hand. It matters but little who will be Mr. Bryan's running mate this year. He is irrevocably coupled with defeat in this campaign. The ticket is Bryan and defeat. THE TIME FOR ACTION HAS ARRIVED.

IT IS TO BE FERVENTLY HOPED that much good will result from the trial3 of the Waterways association through the northern part of Lake county today. That this region furnishes a natural passage for shipping with but comparatively little cost when its advantages are taken into consideration has long been recognized. Ways and means are all that is necessary. The Calumet region has beat about the bush in one way or another for so long a time about this waterwaythatthe property owners have despaired that anything will even be done in regard to the matter at hand. The sky, however, seems to be clearing. When Hammond, East Chicago and Gary can get together the time is ripe for action. Much depends on the trip taken today and its outcome will be watched with eagerness by Lake county's great manufacturing district. There is danger in procrastination and there is need of striking while the iron is hot. The newspapers of the Calumet region have been urging action for many years, but they can write and

the people can agree with them until it done nor will any action be taken until get busy. Then GET BUSY. "THIS DVTE IN' HISTORY."

WHAT IS SUCCESS. FAILURE? The American people are seriously pondering the question, What Is success? In recent years success, in the popular definition, has stood for the accumulation cf money. We have worshiped at the shrine of the almighty dollar. Only of late have we begun to Inquire: What shall it profit a country If it shall gain billions of dollars and lose Its own soul, or what will a nation give in return for its soul? IS MONEY COSTING L'S TOO MUCH? We are just beginning to see that un-

! der our former definition of thingsNothing fails like success. Nothing succeeds like failure. Under the new revolution of thought or feeling for it Is as yet more a feeling than a thought we are coming to realize that life is more than meat and raiment; that it is one thing to make a living and quite another to make a life; that perversion of business morals and a mad chase after special privilege and tainted dollars are not success, but abject failure Because such a system DEGRADES MEN AND DEIFIES DOLLARS. We are coming to realize that ignoble SUCCESS IS ONLY SUCCESSFUL FAILURE; that NOBLE FAILURE IS SUCCESS. We have been slow to learn these things. But a change is surely coming over the spirit of our dreams. We are learning that lying and cheating in business life, the methods of "frenzied finance," the giving of grants and immunities to the riotous rich, the practices of rebating and of graft, are destroying the ideals of our people, and we are demanding a reform. Just what practical remedies shall be adopted, just what leaders shall be selected to make those remedies effec tive, cannot be affirmed, but the Impor tant thing is not so much the ways and means of reform as the apparent NEED of reform, the DESIRE for re form, the DETERMINATION TO SECURE reform. Let us thank God and take courage. We have a new and better definition of success. Let us be glad that we have within us the spirit of self purification. for absents yesterday.

IN POLITICS Owing to the condition of his health Senator Bailey of Texas will be unable to attend the democratic convention at Denver. The National Republican league has decided to hold its biennial convention in Cincinnati during the third week of September. Hon. D. T. Flynn, ex-delegate to congress from Oklahoma, is to be a candidate for United Stales senator against T. P. Gore. John P. Grace of Charleston, is the latest candidate to enter the race for United States senator from South Carolina. Governor Claude A. Swanson of Virginia has accepted an invitation to second the nomination of "W. J. Bryan at the Denver convention. Sherburn M.

Democrats Are Planning to Go Week in Large Numbers

National Indianapolis, June 30. When repub- J licans assemble in this citv next Thins- ' lay for the meeting of their state com- ' ; mittee. they will receive elaborate i pamphlets containing numerous in- ' dorsements by prominent members of ' the party of the Taft and Sherman ticket nominated by the Chicago convention. The pamphlet was got up by Carl W. Riddick, secretary of the state committee. It has not yet come from the presses but proof sheets show that it will be handsome. The cover will bear likenesses of the nominees with the inscription: "A Good Ticket in Indiana." Inside will lie comments bysuch eminent republicans as Governor Hanly, Senators Beveridge and Hemenway, Harry K. New, national chairman; Fred A. Sims, secretary of State; John C. BUlhelmer, auditor of state; James Bingham, attorney general; Addison S. Harris, James P. Goodrich, state chairman; Congressmen Chaney, Overstreet, Landis, Crurr.packer and Gilhams, James E. Watson, candidate for governor; members of the state committee, etc. Each comment will be printed alongside the half-tone of the. author and the whole thing will be artistic and valuable. Thousands of the pamphlets will be sent broadcast over the state to refute the democratic declaration that Taft and Sherman are not acceptable to the republican bosses. It is a noticeable fact that each man contributing to the compiliatlon regrets that Vice President Fairbanks did not receive the nomination to which he aspired and points with pride to the dignified campaign conducted by the vice president and his friends. The tenor of all the remarks is that Taft is very acceptable, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Fairbanks was first In the hearts of the Hoosiers. The coming meeting will be one of the most important ones of the entire campaign. The committee will meet in the morning and candidates for congressional and state offices will meet in the afternoon. Chairman Goodrich lias urged the attendance of all prominent members of the party. Senator Beveridge, who is spending the summer In Massachusetts, will return and Senator Hemenway will be here. Plans for the campaign will be adopted and arrangements will be made for importing into the state some of the best known orators of the day. It is hoped by the republicans that President Roosevelt will make several speeches In Indiana next fall. A swing around the state by the president would be all that is needed, they say, to insure a big majority for Taft. Roosevelt is much of an idol in Indiana. Small business men and farmers think the world and all of him. If he would speak in some of the large centers of population. General Apathy, who is now causing the republican managerss ome concern, would probably be routed. Henry A. Barnhart. editor of the Rochester Sentinel, and prospective candidate for congress in the thlrtion national convention in Columbus as were credited to the recent republican national convention In Chicagi The convention w-ill open July 15. Candidate J. E. Watson Is stirring things up In politics at a lively gait considering the hrinc eclipse last Saturday. Monument Beach, Mass., June 29. When former Governor William L Douglas was asked at his summer home here about his attitude in relation to the vice presidency he said". "I am not a candidate for the democratic nomination for vice president As I said when I returned from the south on April 4. I am not a candidate for any public office. Nothing has occurred to make me rhnnge my mind I am out of politics altogether now." "With gratitude for God's bounty." says the republican national platform In quoting this phrase the New York Sun asks: "Why lug In God? The platform claims that the republican party is entitled to credit for every good thing that happens and charge the dernocratlc party with responsi b'lity for every untoward thing. Why, therefore, should it dim its glory by conceding anything to the Deity?" It ia plaintly evident, judging from the eulogies paid to the late Grover Cleveland by the newspapers of this country, that the American people admire a man of true courage. Many of the acts of Cleveland were censured by the newspapers without regard to party lines, but as time went on the wisdom displayed by the ex -president became more and more apparent ar.1 It was proven that he was wiser than his critics. No public man in recent years was so highly eulogized at his passing as has been Grover Cleve land, and it is for the reason that he was one of the great men of the country and one of its sturdiest and best public officials.

Convention. teenth district, was here yesterday. He reported that thing's are looking awuI!j" 1 to the '"-'"hers of his party. He expects to see a democratic vlctory in Ule thirteenth and in the state at large. Mr. Barnhart is now an avowed candidate for congressional honors but he candidly says that he will gladly accept the nomination if his party sees fit to give it to him. According to the thirteenth district editor, republican affairs in his district are in bad shape as a result of the scrap between Charles W. Miller of Goshen and John L. Moorman of Knox, for the congressional nomination. It will be easy, he says, for a good democrat to win the election. The democrats of the state are planning to go to Denver for their national convention in large numbers, i The special train of the Indiana Demo- I eratic club will leave here Saturday afternoon. Part of Sunday afternoon i will be spent in the model farm of Mr. j Bryan near Lincoln. Thomas R. Mar- j shall, nominee for governor, and var- j ious other leaders of the party will i make the trip. John E. Hollett, president of the club, reports that reservations are being made rapidly. The delegates from Indiana will not travel on the special as they wish to get to Denver a bit earlier. John W. Kern of this city and Stokes Jackson, state chairman, left today. John W. Holtzman will leave tomorrow. Kern and Jackson are to stop off at Lincoln and call on Mr. Bryan. It is likely that something important relative to Mr. Kern's Involuntary candidacy for the. vice presidency will be decided at the conference. Mr. Kern Insists he is not a candidate but he has seen fit to pose for some large sized photographs. He admits there is nothing like being prepared. The trouble at New Albany relative to the police board has been settled in a way satisfactory to everybody save violators and prospective violators of the law. Governor Hanly has appointed Dr. E. A. Sevrlnghous, republican, John Darneal, democrat, and Isaiah Gordon, republican, to the board. These men are well known citizens, whose sympathy with the governor's ideas in regard to strict enforcement of the law are pronounced. The "lid" will be forced down on the southern Indiana city and kept there if the new board has to sit on it. Gambling, liquor selling, racing and other violations, which have sprung up during the period of no police board will be curbed immediately. Persons at the state house expect something sensational soon In regard to suppressing gambling on the Indiana side of the Ohio river. Driven out of Kentucky, gamblers from the Blue Grass state have assembled on the Hoosier borderland. Complaints have reached the governor and investigations have been made. It is asserted that the looseness is greater than was ever dreamed of at French Lick or West Baden. A sensational raid with a wholesale bunch of arrests would not surprise persons at the capitol building. THE CREAM OF THE Morning News Bryan is making every effort to conciliate the warring factions of democracy; platform to lay stress on issues voted down by republican convention. W. I. O'Connell's name removed from county democratic slate and Henry Stuckart's substituted as candidate for board of review.

Business men to organize a Foss club to further congressman's candidacy for United States senatorship. Struggle is on at the meeting of the Federation of Women's clubs for position of president of the federation. Three Rhodus brothers, under Investigation in federal courts, are arrested on charge of using mails to defraud and are held in bonds of $15,000. James Mullaney turns state's evidence in the trial of the men who duped Rev. M. C. Hartzell and characterizes James Marooney as a professional blackmailer. Principal clubs in Chicago are expected to meet with the Hamilton club tomorrow t.; plan for a sane Fourth. Thirteen-year-old negro girl wins championship of the American public schools in the educational contest In her home city, Cleveland. Harry K. Thaw is given hope of a jury trial as to his sanity by a statement of Justice Mills during the hear ing of a habeas corpus plea at White Plains. N. Y. Prince Zu Fulenburg is placed on trial in Berlin for perjury In connection with the notorious "round table" charges of last year. Four hundred railroads tomorrow begin charging 20 per cent more than regular rate for carrying consignments imperfectly packed. Wheat values advance on further delay in marketings caused by rains west and southwest; corn and oats are benefited; advance in provisions checked; cattle and sheep lower; hogs higher.

For alienating the affections of George McAllister Harris, assistant freignt traffic manager of the Northwestern railroad. In Chicago, his alleged affinity Is made defendant in a suit for $100,000 filed In the circuit court yesterday by Mrs. Luella Maud Harris. At the same time suit for divorce was begun against Mr. Harris. The name of the affinity, according to Charles W. Taylor, attorney for Mrs. Harris, is Mary Boe, alias Miss F. A. Burns. She is said to be the daughter of a windmill manufacturer, either at LaPorte or Logansport. Ind. Her present address was given as 2427 Michigan avenue. For the greater part of the night a deputy sheriff camped on the doorstep of this address waiting to serve the papers in the case, but "Miss Burns" was not seen. But Harris is growing tired of his affinity, according to his wife, who told her troubles as she sat in the detective agency office in the Continental National Bank building in the afternoon "Why, what do you think," she exclaimed, "if George, my husband, didn't actually call me on the 'phone last Saturday and confess his duplicity, and ask me to help him get rid of the affinity. "'I have been leading a swift lif . my dear." he said to me. 'and I have become entangled with a little blonde whom I can't shake off. Luella. I want you to help me get rid of her. You can do it by calling on her and telling her you are my legitimate, wife.' That was the proposition he put to me."

CARRIERS VSE MOTORCYCLES. Within a short time thirteen rural carriers out of Logansport will have motorcycles. Three carriers now have the machines, and in good weather they are able to cover their respective routes in less than two hours. Investigation shows they are cheaper than horses and far speedier. RITES MAN'S NOE OFF. While hitching a horse In his barn, west of Wabash, Edward Kaicy had his nose bitten off by a vicious animal.

Machiel Grady, one of Muncle's well known saloonkeepers, who has been In the business here most of his life, had his license revoked by Mayor In Guthrie, Saturday.

The fire, which destroyed White City park at Broad Ripple, near Indianap olis. Friday night may have been of incendiary origin. Investigations made by Manager James L. Weed are said to prove that the flames which razed the amusement resort did not originate inside the Mystic Cave, the building which first caught fire, but on the outside of the structure and in Its rear, and lead to the arson theory.
