THE WORKINGMAN DOES

IT CAN BE SAFELY SAID that the labor union man is laughing in his sleeve at the statements that have been published, that Mr. Bryan is going to get the labor vote or that Mr. Taft is sure of the labor vote at the coming election. Whether it is right for Mr. Gompers to declare that the democrats will get the labor vote this year is questioned. No one man in America can say how another man shall vote. It is of course, perfectly legitimate for a democrat or a republican party leader to use his influence in securing votes for this or for that candidate as long as he refrains from being dictatorial. The American voter will not permit that. He has the privilege and perogatives of suffrage and it is his own. He came by it honestly. The workingman today is a party man. He is a republican or he is a democrat, he is an independent or he is a socialist. He has his own opinions and convictions. He is, to put it bluntly, nobody's fool, and we have yet to see where the politician can pull the wool over his eyes. He doesn't need to be told what labor plank in the republican platform will do for him, nor does he need to be told what the democratic platform will do for him. He has brains of liis own and the free use of them. He will read his daily paper; he will hear republican and democratic campaign oratory and he will make up his mind. The man who belongs to this or that union In Calumet region, for instance, is not going to vote as the leader of his local will vote just because that worthy wants him to do. He will exercise his own intelligence. Let the political leaders of either party have a care how they seek to entrap the workingman with their claims and pretensions. Labor has no autocrat. Every laboring man is his own autocrat. We doubt very much whether Mr. Gompers is able to deliver the vote of the workingman to Mr. Bryan. If the workingman thinks that Mr. Bryan will do for him more than Mr. Taft will, why Mr. Bryan will get his vote, but it won't be because Mr. Gompers has to do his thinking for him. When the day of days arrives in November, thousands of working men will vote for either Taft or Bryan in Hammond, Gary, South Chicago, East Chicago, Whiting and Indiana Harbor and they will be democrats or republicans, they will be party men as they always have been. EMERY WHEELS SHOULD BE MADE OF BETTER STUFF.

WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS seven men have been seriously injured in different manufacturing plants through the Calumet region through bursting of emery wheels and of this number of men two have died- The others are living today with silver plates in their heads or vivid scars as mementos of their narrow escapes. The last accident of this nature occurred at the Illinois Steel company's South Chicago plant Friday, when Emil Tetts sustained a serious fracture on the left side of his skull where he was struck by one of the flying pieces of stone. Other employes who were working near Tetts at the time narrowly escaped a similar fate. It is said to be customary with most corporations in the Calumet region to use the cheapest emery wheels they can procure, owing to the fact that a cheap emery wheel is just as good as a higher priced one as long as It lasts. The higher priced emery wheels are manufactured with a wire mesh on the inside which prevents bursting and makes its operation as an emery wheel almost harmless. Since the invention of the wire mesh emery wheel statistics show that only two men have been killed by accidents due to the bursting of this class of wheels and in both cases this was due to the wheel being imperfect when turned out at the factory. All wheels are tested before leaving the factory and it is almost impossible to turn out an imperfect specimen. These statements are substantiated by men who are in a position to know what they are talking about. It is time that the machinist of the Calumet region demanded that their employers furnish them with the wire mesh product which would eliminate the numerous accidents which are occurring with such distressing regularlt'.

The duke of Sutherland, who is reputed to be the largest private landowner in Great Britain, was born July 20, 1S31. He possesses about 1,400,000 acres of land, besides some of the finest private houses in England. He is famous fdr his lavish expenditure and princely hospitality. As a philanthropist he has earned the gratitude of hundreds of poor people, and his magnificent London mansion, Stafford house, is always at the disposal of any of his friends who wish to entertain for the sake of charity. The duke 13 well known as a sportsman and a traveler, and is the owner of several magnificent yachts. He is also keenly interested in politics, and sat in the house of commons as a liberal for twelve years. Considering his ability, however, he has never taken a very prominent part in public life. Several years ago his name was mentioned in connection with the governor-generalship of Canada, but the expected appointment failed to materialize. The

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 190S. by Edwin A. Nye. "MAGGIE" AMERICAN QUEEN. A recent cable dispatch tells about the wardrobe of Queen Marguerite, said to be the greatest In Europe. This queen does not wear a gown more than five times, no matter what it costs. She has famous Jewels. And her handkerchiefs! She has one which is the finest product of the lacemakers, valued at $3,000. It is so dainty the weight of It in the hand Is Imperceptible. It can be folded up in a gold case as small as a doll's thimble. All of which reminds us. We knew a Queen Marguerite once. We called her "Maggie" for short. This queen had eyes like a fawn's, glorious hair, a mouth klssable beyond all peradxenture, a complexion like the rosy tints of early morn. She was graceful, as becomes a queen, and could climb a "stake and ridered" rail fence in a way that would stagger all the royalty of Europe. Queen Maggie wore her dresses more than five times. Indeed, she did not have more than five dresses all told. If she had that many. We remember three of them. There was the llnsey woolsey. In that gown she mi'.ked the cows, got breakfast for the "hands" and did chores about the house. She had at least two others, both calico. Those calico dresses! She wore one to school. The other was worn to church. You might ponder long as to which was most becoming. Her handkerchiefs! None of them cost $3,000, perhaps none of them so much as 30 cents dainty white linen mostly, a bandanna or two. And when she put the white kerchief about her neck she absolutely turned the head of every susceptible boy in the schoolroom. Sometimes her hands were red. She wore heavy calfskin shoes. But she was a queen, every inch of her. And she is a queen today an Ameri can queen. She still wields her scepter over her subjects. And she will not abdicate her throne never! Queen to Will, queen to her bunch of boys, every one worth ten Italian princes! A few silly women who would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage may rave about Queen Marguerite's gowns and laces, but Queen Maggie will not. She is a qneen by divine right. She Is Queen of Hearts! duchess of Sutherland is known as a great beauty. She has published several books and a few years ago wrote a successful play for Ethel Barrymore. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Unless we are very much mistaken it was Mr. Gompers who himself not very long ago pointed out the danger of partisan alliances. We hope Thursday won't be Gary's Jonah day. The secret of pure happiness is not to let It stop with you. Senator Bowser holds the unique political position of not wanting credit for something he didn't do. Most politicians want all the credit they can get. deserving or non-deserving. THE GIRI. WHO PADDLES HER OW.V CANOE USUALLY MARRIES THE FOOLISH YOUTH WHO ROCKS THE BOAT, AXD HE KEEPS HER BUSY RESCUING HIM. The fact that real U. S. warships will anchor off Gary on Thursday ought to be enough to bring a big crowd to that place. In publishing stories about the removal of Captain II. S. Norton, certain Gary newspapers evidently make it known that the wish Is father to the thought. A grass wldow'a weeds are not necessarily green neither la the widow. The arrival of a cargo of nine million lemons will doubtless call forth much comment from pert paragraphers regarding people having lemons handed to them. Fidelity sometimes treads a pathway of thorns, but it Is far better to have them at the feet than on the forehead. When we read of an whole family being wiped out in an auto-train accident, some of us may be mighty thankful that we don't own an auto, and it isn't sour grapes, either. Small favors are thankfully received. It is good news tb know that the impoverished Erie is to dump a few carloads of cinders in a mud hole in the heart of town, anyway. Some babies yell every

TIGER FRIGHTENS MANY. The tiger which nan amuck in the bottoms near Oakland City last winter, seems to be back to his old camping grounds. Blackberry pickers, wno have been working in the Patoka bottoms, have been frightened by the screams of some animal, and many of them are afraid to enter the woods. TO UORE FOR OIL. Marshall M. Nye, former postmaster of Crawfordsville, and Dr. I. A. Deletion, have organized an oil company and have leased 5,000 acres of land near Russell ville. The Standard Oil company already has representatives in that field. WANTED BY POSTAL AITHTOR ITI ES Instead of being on his way to Chattanooga, John W. Talbot of South Bend, supreme president of the Order of Owls, said to be wanted in the Tennessee city for an alleged violation of the postal laws, is still here. According to advice from his attorney, Talbot will not have to go to Chattanooga. GETS IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT. Jesse E. Wilson of Rensselaer, who, about three years ago was appointed assistant secretary of the United States Interior department, has just received notice of his appointment as chairman of the government board of managers of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacille exposition, to be held at Seattle, Wash., during the year 1909. TRAIN STRIKES BUGGY. Freight train No. 56, northbound, on the Evansvllle & Terre Haute railway, struck a buggy at Paxton, six miles south of Sullivan, at 3 a. m. today, killing one man and fatally injuring his companion, who was removed to a hospital in Terre Haute for treatment. The dead man was supposed to bo Floyd Sheppard of Carlisle, while thu other is Samuel Fisher of Oaktown. RUNAWAY ENDS IN FATALITY. Miss Elizabeth Duepre, aged 40 years, is fatally injured, and her mother, Mrs. Mary Duepre, aged 65 years, is seriously hurt, as the result of a runaway at Garden City, near Columbus, this morning. The horse took fright at an automobile, and, whirling, threw the women against an iron fence. time some one says that they look like father, and you can't blnme the kiddles. The czar is said to be quite hard ud and can't support his family. Now the 12 dollar per week husband is quite in the swim, isn't he? SOME MEN AVE AR THEIR II ATS ON THE BACK OF THEIR HEADS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T ANY FRONT PART TO HANG THEM ON. It looks as If the name of Hisgjn will be the name of another preslden tlal candidate. You will have to count off on your fingers so as to keep track of them. There Is no disgrace in asking for a thing you want the "disgrace' is in seizing it without asking for it. IN POLITICS In speaking of the determination of Shively not to run for congress in the thirteenth district, an Indianapolis paper says: "It would be Interesting to know Just what part the Fogarty crow 1 p'ayed in connection with B. F. Shiv?ly's decision to get out of the congressional contest. It has long been admitted that ho could have the nomination if he wanted It. Even the Fogarty henchmen said so. They said this regardless of the fact that they had no 16ve for Shively. The feeling between the local organization and the well known democrat has long beon strained, and it has long been apparent that the Fogarty people would sidetrack him if they could. Now Shively has taken himself out of tin running; Mclnerny, the 'brains' of theFogarty crowd, Is a candidate for tinnomination, and there is much speculation as to 'how and why.' It is broadly hinted that Fogarty had moro to do with Shively's dlcision than appears on the surface. In this connection it san be said thnt Shively's senatorial aspirations would hardly be su'ficlent to take him out of the congressional race. It Is plain that his chances for congress would have been much greater than any which he may have for the senate, that is, judged at present. "The Fogarty crowd is plainly out for bigger game. The events of the next few weeks will be of more than passing interest, even to those who are not vitally concerned in the outcome." Many Indiana republicans will go to Cincinnati by special train on July to attend the notification of William II Taft of his nomination for president. This was decided on at a meeting held at the republican county headquarters in the State Life building. Indianapolis. Those present at the meeting included many of the precinct committeemen, candidates and officers of the various republican clubs of the city. A committee consisting of Postmaster Bryson, chairman; William E. Davis,

JOH NADE ONLY SURVIVOR. Of the officers elected at the first county election in Newton, John Ade, father of George Ade, author and playwright, is the only one now living, lie was the first recorder of Newton county. BOYCOTTS JUSTICE COURTS. Albert Gallion of Logansport. deputy state game and fish warden, has instituted a boycott against local justice courts and all of the charges which lie prefers against violators of the game and fish laws in the future will be filed in the circuit court. Newspapers have created such a sentiment against the game and fish law that it is almost impossible to obtain a jury to convict violators. ONLY 13; WOULD WED. Because she was only 13 years old, Miss Louie lie 1 1 Bock could not get a license to marry in this county, although she had her father's written consent. County Clerk Arthur E. Do Blum of Sullivan, refused to issue the license to her and Osa Gamhill. Gambill, who is 26 years of age, took an appeal to the circuit court. CATTLE RAISING INCREASES. Deports compiled by Mary Stubbs Moore, chief of the Indiana bureau of statistics, show that on March 1, 190S, there were 501,495 head of beef cattlo in the state. At the corresponding time last year the number was 445,010. 7,000 ACRES IN PRESERVE. The largest game preserve in the state is the one recently established in Brown county, southeast of Nashville. It contains more than 7.000 acres, and Weed Patch hill is the center of the preserve. The country around this big hill Is wild and rugred, and the place is an ideal one for the purpose for which it was selected. BLACKFORD COUNTY IS DRY. Hartford City, Ind., July 18. If there Is a wet spot in Blackford county, the anti -saloon workers do not know it. Today a blanket remonstrance containing the signatures of 233 voters of Jackson township was filed with the county auditor, to replace the old one, which expired In April.

Harry Wallace, Harry D. Tutewiler and Joseph L. Hogue was appointed to confer with the railroad companies in regard to rates, time, train and other details of the trip. The promoters of the trip believe that several hundred republicans will go. The meeting also considered the advisability of having an Indiana day at Cincinnati some time in September, in case Taft decides not to make a speech in this city during the campaign. An eqort will be first made to get Taft to come here for a big meeting, and if this fails it is likely that an Indiana day will be designated and that excursions will be run to Cincinnati to carry republicans from over the state. New Albany, Ind., July 18. A score of democratic editors of the New Albany congressional district held a meeting in this city yesterday afternoon to prepare plans for a vigorous campaign. Stato Chairman Stokes Jackson, District Chairman Mark Stor en and Congressman W. E. Cox addressed the newspaper men. Lunchcon was served at the Highland Country club. A delegated convention of the republicans of Texas has been called to meet In Houston on August 11. The convention will elect a state executive committee and nominate presidential electors and a full state ticket. Five candidates are contesting for the republican nomination for governor of the state of Washington. They are Governor A. E. Mead, former Governor McBride, Attorney General Atkinson Colonel Ridpath of Spokane and Samuel Cosgrove, a member of the legislature. The contest will be settled at the general primary In September. George R. Sheldon, the new treas -mer of the republican national committee, has been prominent in the financial and political life of New York for many years. He is a hanker and is identified with many financial and industrial companies. Ho was a member of the republican national committee in 1903 and 1904, treasurer of the New York county republican com mlttee for several years, and treasurer of the New York state committee during the last gubernatorial campaign At the present time ho is the president of the Union league club of New York.

Both Republicans and Democrats Intend to Make Things Hum All Over Indiana This Year Says the Leaders.

Indianapolis, July 20. From an authoratlve source it was learned yesterday that the republicans will conduct one of the most vigorous campaigns this year ever known in the state. It will be spirited from start to finish. The republicans are not apprehensive regarding conditions but they realize that persistent and continuous work of a hard kind will be necessary to keep things in shape. "You may say, if you will not use my name," said one party manager, "that Indiana has not for years seen such a campaign as we are about to conduct. We will hold more big meetings than ever before; there will be more and better speakers at our command, more special trains wil be run, more bands will be engaged and more literature will be disseminated. S4YS APATHY DOES NOT EXIT. "Apathy does not exist to any degree but the party needs some stirring up. We have had things our own way for so long that many voters are beccmlng careless. This must cease and it. will cease after we got started. There will be no let-up. We will have meetings after meetings; special clubs will be organized everywhere; quartets and bands will travel from one end of the state to the other and we will burn more red fire than has been burnt in any two former campaigns." "But how about the money for all this?" was asked.. "It takes money to cenduct that kind of a campaign." "Don't worry about that," was the answer, "we're not." The money will be forthcoming. We have no Intention of being extravagant or of spending money unlawful but there will be all the funds we will need for legitimate purposes such as building up the organization and creating enthusiasm in communities where enthusiasm is needed." GETTING IN GOOD LICKS. Though the campaign has not yet started in earnest and will not for a month or six weeks, the state committee is getting in many hard licks. The song book is already out. It is larger and more elaborate than ever before. Thousands of lithographs of Taft and Sherman and of Watson have also been sent broadcast. Orders have been placed for tens of thousands of buttons and souvenl post-cards. These will be sent In bunches to every county chairman. Badges, souvenirs, literature and songs will be distributed In unprecedented amounts. The republican quoted above insisted that the democrats were not counting on Kern as a vote getter nor were they banking on state pride to help their ticket. "But they are counting." he continued, on the national committee sending a barrel to Indiana. This Is what makes them Jubilant. When Bry an notified the Denver convention that he would like to see Kern nominated. which was practically an order to nominate him. DEMOCRATS WERE PLEASED. It became apparent that the Nebraskan and his managers had determined to make Indiana and the middle

jwest a battle ground. Kern would not I have had a look-in had he not been thought able to do some good in his hcme state. This pleased the democrats as they knew that Bryan or noone else would expect a man to swing hte state into without financial and other kinds of help. Consequently the t democrats expect plenty of money, plenty of strong speakers, plenty of the other sinews of war and plenty of everything that is passed out: "We realize that the democrats will get enough of the stuff to inject a lot of ginger into their campaign so we are going to meet them more than half way. We will spend f.ve dollars where .they will have one to spend. We will ;liave more and abler speakers, more j literature and more novelties of the i kind that every campaign produces. We are going to carry Indiana by a big j plurality but we are ne t going to sit idly by and let overcor.tider.ee rob us of any votes." j DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE R I.LY. ' The democrats are planning to make a big rally of the Kern notification which will be Ik Id early In September on a date yet to be designated. Bryan .will be here and will U liver, it is said. the only speech l.e wi'l make in Indiana during the campaign. Bryan, it seems, is not going t turn himself this year Into a red light f-r the rear end of a passenger train. lie is going to remain on his farr.i most of the time and entertain visitors with buttermilk flavored with grape j':Ice. Mr. Kern Is now resting at his home in this city. He returned from the convention well tired out. His correspondence is heavy and he is spending much time reading l is letters and telegrams of congratulation whi.-h came to Jiim by the hundreds. He will speak at Gary on July 23 nr. I two days later will go to Chicago t attend the rneet-lne-of the subcommittee of the na'tler.al committee to aid in nrtm'ng national officers. John E. Lamb of Terre illaufe. Is still mentioned for the rhair'manshlp but democrats htr" say he has 'not a ghost of a show for the job. They 'insist that it would l.e poor politics to 'have a vice presidential candidate and 'a national chairman from the same 'state, especially from Indiana, which I furnished Tom TaegRrt four years ago. 1 Mr. Kern is beii.g besieged by j friends and organizations to make 'speeches but h 1 refusing to bind ! himself by positive engagements. He 'wishes to get his bearings before he 'starts. He will be given a nonpartisan reception at Koknmo, his old town, tomorrow nigl.t. Do you ever stop ro think, Mr. Bus iness Man, that the newspaper which boosts your city, which seeks to improve the town you live in, which helps to fight battles: which is a reflex of the progress of the community i " 1 I . 1 A J A A . is ennxiea xo advertising patronage in ' return ?
