MARSHALL LOCKS ARMS WITH THE BREWER. IT WASN'T SO VERY LOXG ago that one, Thomas Marshall, candidate for governor of Indiana, on the democratic ticket, was highly lauded by both democrats and .republicans for declaring that he was going to conduct his campaign on a clean and impersonal basis. However, sincere Mr. Marshall may have been at the time, it is quite evident that he is so no longer. It is nearer to the truth, however, to say that since the insolent Lieber-Fairbanks brewery combine put a ring in the democratic candidate's nose that he is going to conduct his campaign on anything but a clean basis. Mr. Marshall made a savage attack on the ministers of Indiana recently and in language that showed how nettled he was, because his position had
been uncovered, DENOUNCED THEM .UNutotKV tuui amu mufcCENTLY. It was Marshall's Bunker Hill and his Waterloo. If anything he could have done would' contribute to his defeat, it would be his denunciation of the clergy of Indiana, who fight- evil where, they find it, and who must be given credit for the honesty of their convictions. If proof were needed that Tom Marshall saw defeat staring him in the face it would be his tirade against the clergy. HE HAS MADE HIS OWN ISSUES NOW AND YOKED HIMSELF WITH THE BREWERY COMBINE, which has not only sent emissaries into Lake county to frighten the saloonman out of business, but also wrote threatening and intimidating letters to saloonkeepers, telling what would happen to them if the republican ticket was elected. By allying himself with those coromants of society, the Lieber-Fair-banks millionaire brewery combine, Marshall lost his hold on the decent people of Indiana. No one caff deny that and tell the truthHe is wearing the same collar as the men who are the most active in the prosectttion of the democratic state campaign. THE BREWERY TRUST. It is these men, we believe to Mr. Marshall's recent shame, the members of the organization of brewers who are making the real campaign for the democratic state ticket. They are conducting their fight against the republican nominee for governor, secretly and sneakingly, a desperate campaign of desception, defamation and slander. They do not do their work openly and above board. Their work of libel is carried on in every part of the state, as it was in Lake county, quietly and under cover. AH the bluster and noise that democratic editors can make won't change that. All the hair-tearing and villifying that they are capable of, can't down the truth. Down at Marion, Ind-, the other day, one of these agents of the brewery combine, an insolent fellow named Corbett, wide of girth and loud of mouth, lost his temper and paraded the open streets denouncing Mr. Watson personally and abusing him in unprintable language. Corbett, insolent and arrogant like men who acquire sudden riches in the manufacture and sale of brewery products, stood in front of one of the prominent hotels and delivered himself of the following shriek: "Jim Watson is a g d b d and any man who would vote for him is a g d b d! I am worth $400,000 and I'll spend $50,000 of it to beat him." And this is the stripe of men that Thomas Marshall is hitched up with when he denounces the ministers and clergy of the state because they are .aligned with law or order. One democratic sheet says: "The republicans of Indiana blame the brewer for being in politics and accuse him of having made the temperance question a political issue." That is exactly what the brewer has done. Yes, the brewer is in politics. It is as much his trade these days as making beer. HIS WORK IN LAKE COUNTY SHOWS THAT. And because of this fact thousands of men -who voted for John W. Kern two years ago, will vote against Marshall and the party that the brewer now owns and bosses with all the democratic sheets that he is supporting. The party whose ticket the democrats voted in years past, before the brewers raped it. In Indiana to be free, or is it to be a slave to brewery rule? The stake in Indiana is a great one to play for. The next legislature will redistrict the state for legislative and congressional purposes. If the brewers win they will elect their own tool to succeed Senator Hemenway. They will pass their own laws. DO YOU SUPPOSE THE BREWERS ARE IN THIS FIGHT FOR THEIR HEALTH? Can it be possible that they are all favoring the democratic paltform because it will promote temperance? Who is paying the agents they are sending up and down the state? WHO IS PAYING THE EXPENSES OF THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN? Where is the state central committee getting its funds to support newspapers and carry on Its propaganda, save from the brewers? The Lieber-Fairbanks millionaire combine is in this campaign to stick its hands into the pockets of the people.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. PLAIN WORDS TO A YOUNG MAN. Young fellow! The girl who "works at your side if you don't watch out will forge ahead of you. Honest, now Girls are steadier, as a rule, than boys. They are more dependable. They do their work in better form. They are prompt and neat. They can be trusted. They do not loaf. They are conscientious. They are accommodating. They have pleasant ways. The girls do not smoke. They do not drink. They do not gamble. In plain words, the moral character of girls, partly because society holds them to a severe standard, is higher than that of boys, as a rule. Is It not EO? Many a young man thinks character is an unimportant factor in business. Don't you make that error. You cannot, must not, indulge bad habits, blow In your money, keep lato hours, dissipate and then fancy that because you show up on time In the morninsr you will be none the worse for it. In the long run you will lose out. You may be perfectly honest. You may scorn to filch a cent of money from your employer. But you are so made that you cannot lose moral fiber and succeed. You are built that way. All about you are the wrecks of men who shake their fists at society and say they have not had a fair show. Most of them hare failed simply because they have lacked MORAL BACKBONE. Most failures In business are MORAL FAILURES. Another thing, young man: Note how many more girls than boys are in the high school graduating classes. What does that signify? It means that women are to be the cultured classes in the future. The boys stop in the grades and go out to make money. The girls stay in school and educate themselves. They do not stop there. Some go to colleges. Some join clubs and continue their studies. Now Unless present day tendencies of education are changed trouble lies ahead for the men. Oh, I know that well educated girl of yours will think little of this matter when you are first married, and you may think nothing of it, but the time may come when you will be notoriously unfitted for each other. That war may lie domestic trouble and divorce. Get a hump on yourself, young man. Or the girl will distance you. lynched at Versailles, Ind. THIS IS MY 73RD BIRTHDAY. Richard Olney. Richard Olney, eminent as a lawyer and statesman, was born Sept. 15, 1835, in Worcester county, Massachusetts. He was graduated from Brown university in 1856 and from the Harvard law school in 1858. A year later he was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law in Boston. He became prominent in the democratic party in Massachusetts early in his career, though he held no public office for many years with the exception of serving one: term in the Massachusetts legislature. In 1893 he accepted from President Cleveland the appointment of attorney general of the United States. He continued to fill that position until June, 1895, when he was made secretary' of state. Since his retirement from the cabinet In 1897 Mr. Olney has taken1 no active part in polltics. In 1904 he was mentioned as a possible candidate for the presidential nomination. As a lawyer Mr. 01neys success has been that of a counselor rather than that of an advocate. He is regarded as a masterly exponent of the law, relying more upon conciseness of expression and clearness of statement than upon purely rhetorical effect for the success of his efforts. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS IF YOU DON'T 1H AW THE LINE YOURSELF, SOMEBODY WILL DRAW IT FOR YOU. "Shall the people rule?" asks Mr. Bryan vociferously. Yes, sure, as long as they dig up for your campaign fund.

The county commissioners at Anderson have granted the second petition for paving streets in this city under I the free gravel road law. A. half mile on South Main street Is to be paved with brick. MARSH FIRES RAGE. Marsh fires are raging-all about Goshen and the air is thick with smoke. Reports from rural districts say farmers are compelled to resort to heroic means to save their buildings. PRAIRIE FIRES TURK ATE X. The drought conditions are so severe in the Kankakee country, where the farmers are maintaining daily and nightly vigil to protect their farms and homes from being swept away by fire, 'that all-day prayer services for rain were held in a number of churches today. RUXAVVAY BOY SUSPECTED. John C. Hunt Jr., the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hunt of Bath, Union county, was a little careless in the way he joked with a passenger on a C, C. & L. train and he was arrested and placed in pail at Richmond, suspected of complicity in a murder at Bath. After spending a few hours in prison, until his mother could be communicated with, it was found he was a runaway. TO' REBUILD FACTORY.

Some men ought to bandage up their heads every time they have a thought they have so few of them. Call of the Tame. Mrs. Curtis is enjoying a visit from her sister, who arrived from Washington last week. She brought with her quite a lot of tame fruit to which A. S. Wilkinson, W. H. Stark and J. B.

Texas is bounded on the east by the alligators of Louisiana and the huckleberry thickets of Arkansas; on the north by the tomahawk and the war whoop of the red man; on the west by the chili concarne of New Mexico; on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, and if it wasn't for that measly body of salt water she would extend beyond
IIP AND DOWN
SENATOR BEVERIDGE SAYS We are midway in a historic movement for righteousness written into law. Shall that movement be carried out or wrecked? Its concrete expression is in the Roosevelt policies. Of the work that remains the first is to revise the tariff. The tariff we shall make will protect American industries, and also open foreign markets to Ameriscan products. The modern tariff is a maximum and minimum tariff. The republican idea is to meet other commercial nations with their own weapons. The only hope of a tariff commission is in the republican party. Remember that active , business means well-paid employment. Mr. Bryan and the opposition would make business practically Impossible by their national franchise plan. A nation without power is a nation without influence. A maritime nation's power is in her navy. Let no man denounce Mr. Bryan. Such men are necessary to human progress. Always they have heen urgers of reform, but never doers of the work. William H. Taft is of the Pilgrim stuff he is the wisdom that makes the ideal vision a living fact.

and, y rushing the work, it Is thought that the new structure can be completed by the first of the coming year. FAITH DOCTOR ARRESTED. Albert Bauley of Evansville, an alleged faith doctor, is under arrest on charges preferred by Mrs. Adelia Collins of Evansville, who says that the "doctor" took her clothing when he was called in to see her and found her delirious. GOVERNOR COMES UNEXPECTED. Among the 12,000 visitors at the camp of Instruction, Ft. Benjamin Harrison, yesterday was ex -Governor William S. Taylor of Kentucky, who called at the Indiana headquarters at noon. Brig. Gen. Oran Perry was surprised, but soon recovered, and the best menu Indiana could afford was provided for the visitor. BUILDING RACE TRACK. ft was announced at New Buffalo, Mich., today that a force of 400 men would btgin work tomorrow morning on the construction of a new race track, grand stand and stables which will be built on a tract of land Just across the state line. FIRE THREATENS TRAIXS. Fires are literally consuming the earth in northern Indiana, near Elkhart. Over a vast area of country thee hangs a pall of smoke as dense as a London fog. Railroad trains are forced to grope" their way slowly and in many cities and towns the smoke Is stifling. SCHOOL IS DYNAMITED. The Fairfield schoolhouse, near the line of Hendricks and Marion counties, was blown up this evening with dynamite. The building was demolished and there remains but little to mark its former location but a mass of debris. The explosion was felt in Mooresvllle, five miles from the schoolhouse. the south pole." Miles (Texas) Mes senger. Again we rise to ask what Bryan has ever done but talk? Becauae people apparently hove all their time taken In talking about other, la no sign that they will not find time to talk about you. Uncle Joe Cannon is another republican who came, saw, and got busy. The woman who keepa In style these days la in for the old-fashioned "broom handle" appellation. IN POLITICS South Dakota is the scene of a lively campaign at present between the local option and anti-option elements. Charles S. Millington of Herkimer, is the nominee for congress to succeed James S. Sherman, the vice presidential candidate. Democratic leaders In Virginia are preparing for an unusually vigorous campaign this fall, with the purpose of rolling up the strongest possible majority for Bryan and electing all their nominees for congress. Thomas L. Hisgen of Massachusetts and John Temple Graves of Georgia, candidates, respectively, for president and vice president of the United States on the Independence party ticket, will deliver several speeches in Texas late in September.

ON THE
AT THE T0WLE OPERA HOUSE. AS TOLD IX THE HILLS." One of the strongest bids for popularity made by the modern melodrama "As Told In the Hills" which Is at the Towle opera house Is that there is no objectionable features to the performance. It Is true there are two villains, but their fate is a striking example of what their villainy deserves. In contrast with them the other characters are clearly and forcibly drawn in a manner that will leave a lasting Impression. AT THE TOWLE 0PEEA HOUSE. "THE LIFE OF AX ACTRESS. At last something new and unioua has been reached In thin and Hammond will have a chance to witness Langdon McCormlck's latest effort at Towle opera house for four lghts commencing Sunday matinee. Sept. 20. "The Life of an Actress" is the play and in It theauthor has portrayea the struggle and hardships encountered by women climbine: the the atrical ladder to fame. A large com pany of well known players will present the piece and manager Aubrev Mittenthal has provided a production that is equalled by few and surpassed by none. Tbe first act shows a dressine room and part of the stage of a vaudeville theater and gives the Dublle a chance to see what things look like bacK of the curtain." Another scene depicts a private dining room in a 'swell' hotel with actors and their friends partaking of an "after-the-show" supper. It is a beautiful setting and a credit to the scenic artists' skill. r .1 f. 5- ' I Scene from "Montana Limited" which One thing that will interest the feminine portion of the audience Is the magnificent gowning of the ladies em ployed in the production. They have vied with each other in dressing their parts and the result is Lhat.no melo drama on the road can show such a beauty and correct taste in dresses as those worn by the ladies of "The Life of an Actress" company. Maude Adams is to have a new play by James M. Barrie, which will be ready for her in October. John Drew will open his season in New York on Sept. 14, in "Jack Straw," a comedy by a new English playish an ambition to head the democratic national ticket at some future time.

Bozarth, a well-known Valparaiso attorney and frequently a candidate for state and district offices, has tendered his services as an orator to the republican party both in Lake and Porter counties and in the 6tate. The republican activity in Lake county is so alarming the democrats that they have at last begun to get busy. Oyster Bay, X. Y., Sept. 14. President Roosevelt's position on the question of the renomination of Governor Hughes was set forth in an official statement given out at the executive offices today. The statement follows: "The president has been in communication with Secretary Root and Congressman Cocks in reference to the governorship situation, and has authorized them to state that, while he has no intention of dictating, yet to all his friends who have spoken to him on the matter he has said in the strongest possible terms that he favored the renomination of Governor Hughes." Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 14. Returns up to midnight show the democratic state ticket elected by large majorities as a result of the election officers in the large cities ignoring the poll tax receipt requirement. There was a bitter fight against the democratic state ticket by the prohibitionists, who claimed that the state board, democratic, recently placed the liquor interests in control of various counties' election machinery. The wets carried Little Rock today by 2,100, electing the entire democratic ticket for Pulaski county. Pulaski county's vote today was over 8,000, doubling its vote of two years ago. Little Rock and Argenta tripling their vote of two years ago. Argenta is a negro town. The Strength of Love.

THE CREAM OF THE Morning News Maine goes republican, but plurality is cut to below 10,000; prohibition the chief issue. Taft will leave Chicago Sept. 25 on a ten days' speechmaking tour of the upper Mississippi states. Former Congressman Littlefield in a letter to Speaker Cannon denies holding the house chairman responsible for the defeat of the bill on shipment of Intoxicants. Bryan says Roosevelt's eulogy of Taft is not enough to convince that the Ohioan is a friend of progressive polltics. In reply Taft points to his record and that of his rival. Albert Lucas.
