J SUPPOSE We all know Bryan's 16 to 1 free silver fallacy was a petrified fizzle, but have you ever heard of Mr. Bryan's saying that he was WRONG on that qu'estion? How do you known that if he was elected, president, he wouldn't work for free silver. HAS MR. TAGGART JOINED THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE ? AMONG THE INTERESTING NEWS that comes from Indianapolis is the story of the pleasing activity of Thomas Taggart. Tom Taggart, as we all know, is a democrat. It is true that Tom has had his little seances with the leaders of his party, but his smiling and ubiquitons countenance is there

and there and everywhere whenever the the Leiber-Fairbanks brewery combine

An unquestioned authority gives us the information, however, that Mr. Taggart was sat down upon by the democrats and has no control over them anymore. This is, indeed, interesting news for the people of the nation, who careless things, were under the impression that Mr. Taggart is today one

of democracy's bright and shining lights.

down at Indianapolis helping his estimable wife pick out her fall gowns and

hats. It is unexplicable why stories of Indianapolis and why eyewitnesses from

members of the brewery combine together. How could any one be so wil

Hemenway, will address the voters of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago tonight at a monster mass-meeting. With him will speak Hon. Theodore P. Burton, Ohio's brainy congressman, who nominated Taft for the presidency at Chicago and who "brought down the house." Congressman Crumpacker will also be present, as well as the leaders of the party from all over Lake county. Senator Hemenway is Indiana's

junior senator. Before he filled a seat in the senate he rendered distinguished jservice to his state as a member of the lower house. He is an able speaker and a clean-minded, clean-handed republican who will present some facts

not unnatural desire of the business man to get back cn the bed as soon as possible, which Mr. Bryan seems to ignore, it is worth noting that after a man has fallen out of med, it is still a long way to the cellar. What Taft

objects to is the Bryan proposition to WHAT MR. TAFT SAID: "it want

When he need3 money he comes to you and gets it He has not missed a term of school since he began in the kindergarten. He plays ou Saturdays. On Sundays he goes to Sunday school in an- extra suit Her boy? Her Coy has little to show fn the way of clothes, and lie wears cheap kip shoes. Sometimes when he tarns his wages over to his mother she gives him a nickel, but not often. He had to quit school in the second grade. He earns about as much delivering newspapers as your boy spends. While your boy turns over in bed for his morning nap her boy is at work. He is due at the newspaper alley at 4 o'clock. If the morning is frosty, instead of an overcoat he. runs to get warm. If it rains, he gets wet. And where your boy would be in bed with a cold her boy just coughs a little and keeps going. Your boy? Why, he has contact with good teach ers, and he has his own little library of books. He goes to the Y. M. C. A.' gym. He has all the refinements of a comfortable home. Her boy? Her boy runs up against all sortsgood, morally unfit, vicious. He knows little of the finer things of life. He knows things in the rough only. Work is his physical exercise, play a luxury. Nevertheless It may be her boy will outrun yours. Who knows? The very worldliness about hira may put a mental keenness In the brain of her boy. His hard experience may cause him to see things as they are. Something may cause the seeds of ambition to sprout It all depends on the yeast in him. If the yeast stuff is good, let your boy look out for the washerwoman's boy. On the other hand It Is a pity to think it het boy may go down Instead of up. There may be no real yeast In his makeup. If not, the sordid life that is about him Is likely to overwhelm him. The handicap is too much. The odds your boy has over her boy are too great, more'a the pity. ButIf her boy has real soul stuff, he may go stumbling, yet stumbling, shall find the safe way to tomorrow. In that case your boy will step aside lor him. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS It was Mr. Taft's birthday the other day and we are ashamed to say that we forgot to wish him many happy returns Nov. 3.

Some of the republican bosses in New York, in response to Col. Bryan's question, are able to make affidavit that the people do rule. When a lonely rich man reaches 50, people never nee him on the street without wondering who will net his money. Fishing and Hunting Sketch. Buell C. Wilson and family were guests several days last week at the Steen home. Mr. Wilson reports mos quitoes along that part of Grand river fully as large as horse flies, a report which we believe when he supplements it with the information that they were so large that they made him quit fish ing.

It might be well for some newspapers to remember that "vindictive politics" never elected any candidates. A man will forgive a blue stocking provided ahe hath a pretty foot. Ye Ruminating Editor. An esteemed exchange flngs a few ribald remarks at this department because of some twaddle touching Words worth's poem, "The Happy Warrior," which recently appeared herein. It was stated that the poem in question is doggerel. The fact that Wordsworth wrote it makes no difference. It would have been doggerel just the same had it been written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox or Sol Long. It "does' not follow because a man dislikes Wordsworth's poetry that he is obtuse, or fit for treason, stratagems and spoils. Byron was something -of a poet, and Wordsworth give him a dry pain. The lat ter is a Front Porch poet; that is, the people who read him do so in as public a place as possible, to leave the Impression that they have refined tastes in literature.T Emporia (Kan.) Ga zette. Never borrow a crowbar for the purpose of pry Inn into the affairs of others. Mr. Harriman says that he doesn't care who is elected whether it be Bryan or Taft, and Mr. Bryan so anx ious to carry out Mr. Roosevelt's poli cies.

Mr. Hotchkiss' proposed ditch Is get ting more free advertising than Mr. Hotchkiss ever did. If the National Farmers' union cooperates with the American Federation of Labor in the political campaign, as is reported to be its decision, it should prove a valuable ally. The union is believed to have a membership of about one million and is splendidly organized, especially throughout the south. Henry C.

Editor, Times. Dear Sir: I was informed that among the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor news in one of your recent editions, there was an item in which it said that the Indiana Harbor Auditorium. Mr. Barney Cohen, manager, was put on the unfair list by the Hammond Federation of Musicians, local No. 203, A. F. of M. As secretary of said local. No. 203, I desire to inform you that no such action was taken by said local No. 203 against the Indiana Harbor Auditorium or its manager, Mr.' Barney Cohen. While I will admit that there is a little difference between our local, or rather between one of our members, and Mr. Cohen, which caused our local to take a hand in it." yet there was never any intention on the part of our local to go to extremes by putting the place and its manager on the unfair list, nor could we do so without the consent of our national organization, and in no case would any such action be published in any other newspaper, but in our own official organ, named "The International Musician," published at St. Louis, Mo. Whoever gave you this information told you something which is anything but the truth. I now ask you, Mr. Editor, to publish this communication, in your next issuefor the purpose of setting Mr. Barney Cohen right before his i own townspeople. Respectfully, ALBERT GEHRING, Secretary.
