LO, THE INDEPENDENCE PARTY! TODAY MARKS THE BIRTH of a new political party. The Independence party in convention assembled will nominate candidates for the presidency, vice presidency and electors in the various states. That any considerable number of men could be assembled together, nominate a ticket and enunciate party principles is not altogether due to the zeal, ability and means of William Randolph Hearst, although he has contributed to the result in no small degree. But great as his influence may be, animated by whatever motives, spurred by whatever desires and ambitions, Hearst with his money

his newspapers and his enthusiasm would cut but a sorry figure, if back of It all there was not a great unrest among a large element of the people. Ignore it they may scoff, deny and ridicule it, there are in the ranks of both republican and democrats a goodly number of dissatisfied voters. Dissatisfaction on the one hand with the braggadocio and the "Big Stick," they attacks upon judges, the hysterical utterances, the rampant riding of "the man on horseback," and dissatisfaction on the other hand with the whimsical attitude and policies of the democratic standard bearer, thundering doctrines today, glibly repudiating them on the morrow, for this policy now against it next week. They denounce leaders one day embracing them the next. And so from out these ranks, dissatisfied and disgusted, come the men that make up the Independence party. It goes without saying of course that this party will not elect the candidates chosen but it by no means follows that their labors will be in vain. Many of the principles they proclaim are admirable. The party consists, in the most part, of earnest, zealous thinking men, who have left the old parties- They are men who place principle above policy or expediency and are showing their courage in leading a forlorn hope. The support of Hearst and his great newspapers will give it wonderful impetus. Those papers circulating as they do among thousands and thousands of voters, ably edited, constantly pointing out the weaknessess and foibles of the old parties will influence many a voter. There is a reason and an excuse for the Independence party and it is destined to cut a most important figure in this campaign. DID THEY ALL KNOW THE GAME?

THE OLYMPIAD SEEMS TO HAVE left some sore spots on both sides of the great water that separates two great peoples. The disqualification of a victorious American runner has brought about a dispute that may hinder future international amity a great deal. Into the merits of the dispute, it is of course impossible at this distance to enter. At lot of unthinking editors are flying off at a tangent because of the affair. Is it an unreasonable assumption to say that sharp practice was intended on either side? English sporting regulations are known to be more exacting than ours and the contestants there are accustomed to keep in the straight and narrow path laid down for them without regard to consequences. All the troubles at the Olympiad seem to have grown out of a failure to understand the rules of the games before beginning. This is an essential of true sport. There is 110 reason to suspicion deliberate unfairness. It is a safe practice in all contests to observe the rigor of the game. But first you must understand and know what the game is- It is not a case of dragging in some bygone war everytime the United States and Britain engage in a little friendly contest. GARY STILL TEMPORIZES WITH EVIL RESORTS,

THE GARY SALOON'-DIVES ARE STILL OPEN' and doing business at the old stand. It is a simple statement of fact stripped of everything in the way of extenuating circumstances but the plain ugly truth. Sporadic raids have taken place during Ihe past few weeks but as far as results are concerned the effect is nil. The notorious Johnson resort is wide open again. The authorities gave out the information that they were going to clean it up forever. For some strange reason known only to the authorities themselves, Johnson is permitted to keep women of the lowest kind in his disreputable den. But Johnson's is not the only resort in the steel city, there are others that run unmolested. They grin and wink and allow the impression to go abroad that they can run just as long as they want. Gary is the only town in Lake county where the social evil is permitted in public places and it runs rampant there. The south end of the city has acquired an unenviable reputation for the vice that is permitted there. Crime is rampant, stabbings and gun plays frequent, rum shops without license are permitted to violate the laws and the saloon-dive proprietors wax rich from the profit of female shame and degredation. No matter how great Gary becomes and how many visitors are attracted to its borders, they go away wondering what kind of authorities the city has. There is no palliating excuse for them. The authorities will either sanction or stop them. The world can draw its own conclusions. It is folly for the authorities to bluster and storm. Close up the dives, order the fallen creatures to leave Gary.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. IS WOMAN A NAR.TYR.? Life to most women, says Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Is a martyrdom. She specifies. No person, she says, who has ever heard the confidences of the sex can recall without emotion the confessions of these women "tied to traditions they dare not question, broken on the wheels of drudgery whose iron revolutions crush individual gifts out of the soul and personal powers out of life." She says there will be no happier citizen in the heavenly country than these "prisoners of sex." WellThere is no denying the fact that the average woman's life is largely given to ceaseless drudgery and monotony. The doing of the same thing, mostly in the same way, day in and day out, and getting nowhere comes to be an actual tragedy. You see The rooms once Bwept clean must be swept again. The dishes that are washed after breakfast will be dirty after dinner. Things will not stay clean. And the victuals that are cooked for one meal will not suffice for the next. If only the stuff could be piled up for installment consumption! ButCome to think of It, the life of most men is also largely made up of drudgery. They are perhaps not so much tied up to traditions, but they are bound to a system that kills, a machine that crushes. Few of them but are brokerrmore or less by this mental or physical routine. Indeed, it is the remark of foreign observers that American women are better off than any other women in the world and that American men are the hardest worked men in the world. The difference is here: Women are more idealistic than men. Drudgery tells on them. The dally round frets their more delicate nature. There is more poetry In their souls. It is difficult for women to get over the Idea that life ought to be all sweetness and unalloyed happiness. And there is so little poetry in peeling potatoes! Woman needs some outside interest (and there is where the much abused woman's clnb comes in) to save her from the nervous tension of doing one thing all the time. And by the same tokenSo does the man who lives a life of drudgery. in Hamilton, Miss. Born In Killlngly. Conn., May 3, 1742. 1844 Joseph Bonaparte died. 176S.

Sixty-three young men are so assembled in parade formation that the name "Taft" is spelled rout. There being no curved letters in the republican candidate's name, the formation Is comparatively easy, and, under Captain Comstock's direction, the sixty-three men may very readilv change their formation from seven lines of nine abreast to four irregular divisions, which put forth the name of the party's standard bearer. The marchers are to be gayly uniformed so that the letters which they form will stand out boldly. Muncie, Ind., July 27.

TAFT LEARNS THE NEWS Peaceful Bill Wears His Smile at Cincinnati and is Surprised

Cincinnati. O., July 28. Amid the blare of brass bands, the stirring martial music and the huzzas of enthusiastic crowds. Judge William H. Taft was formally notified today of his nomination for the presidency by the republican national convention which was held in Chicago last month. The rally, in point of numbers and enthusiasm far outranked any demonstration 6f like character ever held in Cincinnati. The event was in every detail a most glorious and gratifying success. At an early hour salutes of cannon were fired from the four hilltops of the city, which brought the whole population to a condition of wakefulness. All morning great crowds of people poured into the city from the suburban towns on both sides of the Ohio river, while every train brought In large numbers from every city of consequence in Ohio and the neighboring states. Cincinnati expected a big crowd and had prepared to entertain. The entire business portio nof the city was handsomely decorated with flags, banners and bunting, and presented a gala appearance. With the arrival of every train delegates headed by bands poured Into the streets and were shown to the headquarters at the Hotel Sinton by members of the active reception committee. Particular attention was paid to the members of the notification committee, the members of which represented every state and territory. One conspicuous feature of the demonstration was the prevalence of Taft and Sherman badges. Nearly every one of the tens of thousands of people seen about the streets wore some Insignia of his devotion to the republican cause. They were everywhere. Iarge parties arrived during the forenoon from Pittsburg, Louisville and Indianapolis. Columbus sent a delegation numbering more than 1.000 enthusiasts, headed by the famous Buckeye Republican club. Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, Dayton and Canton were much in evidence. Urbana, Iincaster, Massillon. Ironton and Sandusky were in evidence, and Hamilton and other near by cities and towns almost depopulated themselves. Some of the delegations contained large leader, has promised to stump Michigan for the democrats In the coming campaign, if his health permits. Thomas E. Watson, populist candidate for president, will make some speeches in the east and some in the west, but will devote his strong efforts to carry Georgia. IT TOTJ DOXT TAKE THE TT3IR fVHTf

Towne numbers of negroes, whose presence was hailed with joy by the rally managers as rroof of the falsity of the statements that the negro race was dissatisfied with the republican ticket. The event of the morning was a flagraising on the lawn of the residence of Charles P. Taft on Pike street, which was accompanied by appropriate ceremonies. The crowds that surged about the Taft home and overran the lawn and steps threatened almost to wreck the house Itself in the general eagerness to hear the speeches and see what was going on. Half past 11 found the members of the notification committee at the Taft residence in readiness for the real event of the day. It was after twelve, however, before the ceremonies began. The speechmaking was conducted from a platform erected on the lawn. Surrounding it were the members of the notification committee, the local reception committee anil a host of eminent party leaders gathered from every section of the country. There were but two addresses, that of Senator Warner, as chairman of the committee, and Judge Taft's speech of acceptance. The speech of the nominee was listened to with close attention by the great crowd that overflowed the porch, the yard, the sidewalks and perched itself on the fence posts. telegraph poles and every other point of vantage. Several times Judge Taft was forced to stop by the vociferous cheering and once or twice it was several minutes before he was able to resumo his remarks. "Safe government" as opposed to radicalism formed the keynote of the Taft speech. Assurances were given that the election of Mr. Taft would mean that the principles advocated by Theodore Roosevelt would continue to be urged until they ultimately become the law and settled policy of the United States. Reduction of the tariff was advocated, and attention directed to the plans of the republican party for the revision of the schedules. The plans suggested by Mr. Bryan for controlling railroads and other large combinations of capital were attacked as futll' and productive of no real benefit to the country at large. Other matters touched upon In the address Included the Injunction plank of the republican platform and the revision of the currency laws. The notification ceremonies were followed by a review of the marching clubs, which was the spectacular feature of the day's program. Several thousand marchers were In line and numerous bands. The procession was headed by the famous Blaln club, tha members of which, clad in white duck trousers and blue serge coats, presented a very natty appearanca.
