ARE WE WORSE THAN OUR FOREFATHERS? WHETHER THE WAVES OF REFORMS of various character which are taking place over the country will prove beneficial in the long run can only be proven by time and experience. No one doubts but that there is

pressing need of reform in many respects, but that the country is going to the dogs as fast as some self-styled reformers say, is duitable- The hue and cry which the movement has raised would indicate that for centuries

the American people have been totally

not true that each generation fancies those of the preceding one. When men like to talk of the good old days when

the abuses of the present were unknown. They really believe that the

world is on the down grade and is muffler and the brake are nut on. ten of them have in their youth heard and believed that the period in which

IT IS QUITE A FUNNY SPECTACLE to make a campaign issue out

of the campaign contribution question. It is against the law to accept contributions from corporations and we fail to see why Mr. Bryan should brag so much about the fact that he wants to obey the law. He is a great

believer in the advice that when you

although he has often gone ahead when he wasn't sure he was right. In his promise to make public all campaign contributions above ?100 he laid stress on the virtue that constrained him to refuse any contributions from

corporations and now in his appeal to minds them that against the terrible is sewed up. Mr. Taft has modestly

campaign wallet under official scrutiny of the executive officers of the

state of New York, whose laws require a full statement of all receipts

either great or small. Having been a testimony to a crime, and being a man the land, he deems it unnecessary to accept financial aid which a federal

Heart io.Heari

alks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 130S. by Edwin A. Nye. CLEVELAND'S GOLDEN RULE, In Cleveland, O., a man is treated as If : were a human being even though he gets drunk. Elsewhere the man who lapses into liquor is treated as if be were a brute. In Cleveland the procedure of the ages has been changed. Men may get drunk and even disturb the peace and still be treated as men. They are seldom arrested. And If arrested they are treated as citizens. In Cleveland intoxicated persons are taken or sent home, just as they would be taken care of If they were ill. They AEE ill. If confined at all, it is for the purpose of protecting their lives and property until they recover. What a stride that is in the direction of humanitarlanism! There is no dragging of "culprits' into police court unless a distinct crime has been committed. And even in the latter case a waiver of trial may be signed without appearance in court. Figure the saving to the city alonetime of the court and Its attaches, wit ness fees, wear and tear of court ma chinery and dollars paid to shyster law yers for "defense." In other cities men who go wrong are not encouraged to reform. Tbey are discouraged, maltreated a course of treatment that MAKES HABIT UAL CRIMINALS. What is the result of the Cleveland regime Statistics show that there Is less crime to the population than in any other city of the world and constantly decreasing. This is true: The criminal system of this country Is more than a hundred years behind the times, and the historian who writes of the first part of the twen tieth century will blister the page that tells of our present barbarism. What right Las society to abuse and Incarcerate the unfortunate victim ol drink? We license the saloon keeper to make him drunk. He Is weak. He Is men tally and physically diseased. In most instances HE CANNOT HELP GETTING DRUNK. Then we, in the per son of a policeman, hit him over the head with a club and drag him to a Tile jail. Could more Inhumane treat merit be Invented? We have made practically no ad vance in the PREVENTION of crime, in so far as our criminal procedure is concerned, in a hundred years. We know nothing but PUNISHMENT. The city of Cleveland has quit the methods of the Old Testament tha old, old system that came in with the beginning of civilization and has adopted the methods and spirit of tha New Testament. It Is practicing the Golden Rale. FASHIONED FATHER WHO SAID TO HIS BOY, "I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT TO THE TANNERY," MEANING THE WOODSHED? No, Mr. Taft didn't turn his two page speech Into the phonograph horn. It was decided to use five shorter ones. Few people Ret heat prostration from the tun of prosperity.

Thought Jake Hartman Wood Kick. A cute little yarn is told of a Whit ing lad who was taken to Lake Front park recently to enjoy his first plunge in so large a body of water. He ac cidentally got his head under and swal lowed some water. When he got his breath he said: "Oh, I swallowed some water, Pa. Will they care?" Thre is added respect now for Hammond's bravest fire laddies. We will stack them up against any in the land. AYe notice thnt hot weather and n little booze i often re.ponwlble for a lot of bad hnmor. We would hate to repeat what we heard some people say about that water pressure yesterday, however.

The East Texas Register of Car thage, whose editor is Miss M. E. Neal. Is one of the best weeklies that comes to this office. Miss Neal is certainly on to her job. The way she goes for Jim Lowry of the Honey Grove Sig nal on his whiskerless kiss theory stamps her as a humorous writer of merit. Athens (Texas) Review.

Elden and Virgil Lewis, aged 16 and 11, respectively, sons of Thomas Lewis of Princeton, were drowned in White river, near llazleton, this county, this morning. They had 'gone in swimming with three companions and got beyond their depth. Their bodies were recovered two hours later. STARTS EARTHQUAKE RUMOR. This afternoon a small boy loaded one of the large cannons that was recently sent to Evansville from the government barracks at ' San Antonio, Texas, and stationed in Sunset park, and touched 'Off the fuse with a lighted cigarette. The explosion was terrific and was heard all over the city and many people thought there had been an earthquake. SHOT FROM RIVER BANK. Returning in a skiff at midnight from a dance on the Kentucky side of the river, with two companions. Miss Mattie Ilensler of Madison was shot and killed in amtdstream by an unknown man, who fired from the Kentucky shore. IN POLITICS Gilford Pinchot, who is believed to be slated for a cabinet position in the event of Taft's election, is chief forester of the department of agriculture andone of the leaders in the movement for the conservation of the nation's natural resources. In 1892 he began the first systematic forestry work in the United States at Biltmore, N. C. The state of Washington will hold a general primary early next month for the selection of candidates for governor and other state officers, for judges of the supreme court and members of congress. The voters also will ex press their preference for United States senator to succeed Senator Levi Ankeny. Bishop Alexander Walter, president of the National Afro-American council. has expressed his preference for William J. Bryan for president and urges the negroes throughout the country to vote the democratic ticket at the November election. The basis of his grievance against the republican party is the failure of congress to pass a bill to have lynchers tried in the fed eral courts. Ex-Senator George L. Wellington of Maryland, who supported Bryan In 1900, has come out for Taft. Lawton T. Hernans of Mason, Mich , being the only democrat to qualify for the September primary, will be tha nominee of the party for governor of Michigan. The republican campaign committee has arranged to have Speaker Joseph G. Cannon make a. speaking tour of the country beginning in September. It is planned to have him talk if po?sible in every doubtful congressional district. In next week's state election in Ver mont a legislature will be chosen which will have the election of a United States senator as successor to the late Redfield Proctor. There appears to be a strong public sentiment that the honor should be conferred on ex-Gov ernor Page. A call has been issued for a rally of the Arkansas Republican State League to be held in Little Rock next week to arrange plans for a whirlwind finish to the republican campaign in that state. The state election for governor and other officers will be held Sept. 14. County Chairman Richard Schaaf Jr. had a conference in Chicago yesterday with Frank H. Hitchcock. Mr. Schaaf talked with the manager of the Taft campaign for some time and was very much pleased with the personality of the national chairman. Senator Hemenway introduced Mr. Schaaf as the best county chairman in the state of Indiana, and, of course. Chairman Hitchcock was interested in the best county chairman in the state. Schaaf says that the leaders of the party are very optimistic. He does not believe that it Is the optimism which is auectea ror the purpose of influencing

The popularity of the good roads movement among the farmers living near Anderson was demonstrated by the returns received today from the election yesterday in Green township on the proposal to build fourteen miles of new road at an estimated cost of $60,000. ONIONS SAVED LIFE. Grasping the first thing that came to hand, onions and salt, Boyd Leedy, aged 10, son of John Leedy of Warsaw, smeared a poultice over a rattlesnake bite a few minutes after the wound was inflicted today and probably saved his life, according to City Health Officer T.
