m- WHY? "Why all this fuss over Haskell?" we heard asked. "Haskell is not running for the presidency." Haskell in himself amounts to NOTHING. But he is valuable as showing with WHAT KIND OF MEN Mr. Bryan is willing to surround himself. THAT'S THE ANSWER.

SOME FOOD FOR

MR. FRANK S. BETZ, PRESIDENT of the F. S. Betz Manufacturing company, is a man of his convictions and has the courage to give voice to them in no shilly-shally, lackadaisical way. Th bomb that he hurled into the ranks of the Bryanites last night by telling that he would split up his big plant here and locate half of it in Germany, were Bryan to be elected, was the sensation of the hour in Hammond last nght. It will echo all over the country. That he will build a big addition to his plant, if Taft is elected, and make many other- costly improvements, is not to be doubted. Mr. Betz doesn't fear being insulted by being told that he is in his dotage or no business man. The person that would tell Mr. Betz that he was in his second childhood, as was done when Mr. Jacob Rimbach announced that he would build a $50,000 block if Taft is elected, would probably regret it. But Mr. Betz's statements are not voiced by him alone. Manufacturers in Hammond do not want Bryan. They want no returns to the days of 1892. They have had big mouthsful of prosperity and they want more of it. They know Bryan can't be sponsor for good times. Bryan's banking and monetary theories are not practical enough for the business man the manufacturer. When a man like Frank S. Betz, who watches business conditions like a hawk, points out the peril of Bryanism, it is time for the voter to consider carefullyA MAN OF KERN SENSE OF POLITICAL HONOR.

THE MORE YOU HEAR AND SEE of Taft the more you like him. The Bryanites were gleeful over the Foraker incident They thought they had Messrs. Taft and Foraker handcuffed together. They have just found out how badly they were mistaken. After the Foraker disclosure by Mr. Hearst, President Roosevelt gave out a letter to the public. It was written by Mr. Taft note the date July 20, 1897. At that time Mr. Taft's candidacy was in a doubtful stage. When announcing the decision that there must be no trafficking with Foraker a man who at that time was supposed to have, full control of the party machinery Secretary Taft well knew that he was taking a stand that might easily prevent his nomination. Yet he reveals that he didn't have a moment's hesitation. This is what Mr- Taft wrote: "I don't care for the presidency if it has to come by compromise with Senator Foraker or any one else in a matter of principle." Can you find a nicer sense of personal and political honor? Doesn't that show Taft as a clean man? WHAT IS THE LABOR INTEREST?

HOW LABOR WILL GET ANY good many people fail to see. What will labor benefit by the of Mr. Bryan's policies? What is the interest of labor

Talks By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nya. THE COUNTERFEITS OF LOVE. Love Is Indeed the greatest thing in the world. But it has Its counterfeits. For instance: Some harebrained youth, smitten by a girl who rejects him, refuses to accept dismissal, follows the girl, nags her. makes life a torment, then kills her. Newspapers speak of the -crime as "a love tragedy." A weak souled woman whose vanity is played upon or whose trivial grievance is fostered by an "affinity" is persuaded to leave husband and children. It is written of such a woman that she was "blinded by love." Or a man of family deserts a good wife and innocent children, leaving a heritage of shame, to go philandering with some foolish miss who has infatuated him. And the Incident is heralded as "a love story." In fact, to paraphrase Mme. Roland, it might be said. "O love, what crimes are committed In thy name!" Those all are libels on love. Love is more than mere infatuation. Love Is more than passion and desire. Love is, first of all, clean. And love wili protect its own. not kill it. Love will die to save its loved one. Love puts above air else the happiness of s own. it 13 the divinest feelin known to humans. Love seeks not its own. It filches nothing from honor. It rejoices In purity. It endures forever. Love is more than poetry, sentimen tality. Its lantruasre is not the sneech of the silly "love letters" of the divorce court, it may be betrayed sometimes into the language of extravacahce or impulse, but never of insincerity. Indeed, the stuff of which most love speeches Is made is the merest froth on the cup of real affection. Being divine, love abides. It must keep Its own forever and a day. It is even stronger and sweeter when the wrinkles mar the face of the loved one-, when the hair is silver! and the frame is bent with growing Increptltnde, than In the younger day of the cheek's soft rounded contour an3 stately carriage. Call too by the sacred name of af-i fection that which harbors bitterness and hate, which neglects or abuses or kills? That kind comes up from the depths. True love comes down from above.

For President WILLIAM H. TAFT

" He ts as strong mm be t gentle. Hid reputation ts simply spotless, la all the agitation of a heated campaign for tbe greatest office in the world, no one has ventured to intimate a doabt of tbe absolute honesty of this man who has been before the country for a quarter of n century. Nor can any one successfully dispute tbe simple proposition that in tbe whole history of the United States no one was ever named for the presidency who was so fitted by nature, by training and by experience for the datien, dignities and responsibilities of that unSque office CHARLES HOPKINS, in "The Independent." CAN'T KEEP OCT OF GAME. Refusing to be kept out of politics because he held the position as postmaster at North Webster, Ind., Allen Scott has resigned his office and recommended the appointment of J. F. Garber, a merchant of the city. BLACK HAN DSESTE5CED. IJarl Stltt, a Howard county youth who wrote threatening letters to his Uncle, Edward Nil of German township, and told him to collect $500 from neighbors and place it in a secret spot or suffer death, pleaded guilty to blackmail today before Judge Hacker of Columbus, and was sentenced to from one to five years in prison. GRAND JURY AFTER SALOONS. Alleged violations of the liquor laws in the country saloons in St. Joseph county took up the attentions of the grand jury at South Bend this week, and the result of the investigations is awaited with interest. STILL CHANCE FOR CROP. Millers in the vicinity of Richmond do not believe the drought, now of five .weeks' duration, has hurt the wheat, but predict that should It continue another week or two the loss next harvest will range from 10 to 20 per cent, according to the conditions of planting. RESULTS IN SUIT. The Middle township, at Danville, controversies between William Hollingsworth, trustee, and the advisory board, culminated today in a suit by the advisory board against the trustee for $5,897.51.

The amount specified is $7,720.83. Beckner, who is a traveling the foremost political figures in Canada, was born in Sussex, IKnks county. New Brunswick, on Sept. 27, 1S50. His father was a well to do farmer and sent his son to the University of New Brunswick, where the young man graduated with the highest honors in 1868. Then he studied law and was admitted to practice In 1872. He did excellent work as reporter of the supreme court and established for himself a large practice. He took great interest in politics and was elected to the leglslatlce assembly of New Brunswick in 1885. Two years later he was made speaker of the house. He resigned In 1890 and went into the government as solicitor general. Two years later he resigned to become law clerk of the legislature. He entered the provincial government as attorney general in 1900 and a year ago he became minister of public works in the Laurier cabinet. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Precious few people object to carrying loads on their shoulders If It is money. Mr. Bryan will soon learn that when he monkeys with President Roosevelt, he is apt to get his fingers burnt. What an awful lot of lying people generally do when their visitors start away. Sympathy from Married Editor. It is rumored that Editor Bacon of Madison is to become a benedict. It Is a wonder that such a nice" man remained single so long. Greenboro (Ga.) Herald-Journal. ISN'T THERE SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT THE GIRL WHO WOULD RATHER READ ABOUT LOVE-MAKING THAN TRY IT ON HERSELF? Mr. Betz has probably laid himself open to the charge that he Is in his second childhood and not a business man. Some Men are Quite noted as Good fellows, but The folks at home seldom Hear anything About It. 'I Take This Man," is the title of a new play. Author is probably trying to find out whether play will be for the better or worse. Some people derive a lot of satin-

For U-President JAMES S. SHERMAN

We certify to nil tbe great electorate that when their rote in November shall have chosen James S. Sherman to be vice president of tho United States, the senate- will be sure of presiding officer in character and competency worthy of tbe best traditions- of that great deliberate body, and that which- God forbid the sad contingency were to come which should for at fourth time call a vice president from New York: to the executive office, the interests of the whole country would be safe In Rood hands, and the great office of the presidency would suffer no decadence from the high standard of dignity and honor and competency of whijli we are so iustly proud." ELIHtT ROOT, at Sherman Notification Ceremonies. salesman, is out of the city, but his attorneys assert he will return to South Bend in ten days and will face the charges. LOW WATER REVEALS HIP. The hull of the steamer Alice Dean, which for forty years has laid at the bottom of the Ohio river at the mouth of Buck creek, near New Albany, is visible on account of the low water and recalls an incident of the civil war which is remembered by the older people in southern Indiana. 43 DAYS WITHOUT RAIN. It has now been forty-three days since rain of any consequence has fallen at Danville. Danville's water supply so far has proven adequate, though one of the six deep wells has shown signs of weakness. THROWS A CHISEL. B. F. Morris of Richmond was roughly handled by Austin Bernard today. Bernard found Morris in his home and jn his anger threw a large chisel, which caught Morris on the forehead, inflicting a severe wound. Both were arrested. TINNER FATALLY INJURED.

A Sniff of the Nose for News. Onfy a thin wall separates ye editor and a restaurant. We will say, however, that those onions being fried at this writing do not make good as a medium of inspiration. Dothan (Ala.) Sittings. When a man begins to make a fool of himself, he Is apt to put in a lot of overtime at it. Mayor of Tempson, Texas, receives a salary of $1 per year. Can't hardly see how by the strictest economy he can lay up much on that salary. Somehow, the average girl can't help loving a man that her mother doesn't like. It is getting so warm in politics that some of our best people are forgetting about the fact that it will soon be time for them to buy coal. IN POLITICS Davenport, Iowa, Sept. 25. Iowa welcomed William H. Taft today. The candidate's voice, which troubled him much yesterday, was in decidedly better condition, when at 8 o'clock he addressed a large crowd in De Witt park at Clinton. The candidate devoted himself to the labor question, reiterating what he has heretofore said on the subject by holding up the republican legislative record in comparison with democratic promises, and finally pledging himself to do everything in his power, jf elected, as he expressed confidence he would be, to put labor on an exact equality before the law with all other citizens what he termed the square deal. Governor Cummins preceded Mr. Taft in an address in which he pledged the national ticket the most hearty support. Chicago, Sept. 24. Senator Albert J. Beverldge's itinerary for his western trip was announced this evening by Senator Dixon.

His lead over Albert Abbott is 87 votes. The New Hampshire democratic state convention yesterday ' nominated George H. Bingham of Manchester for governor, after a letter and telegram had been read from Judge Bingham positively refusing the place. After a stay of nearly a week in Baltimore, John W. Kern said last night that he regarded Maryland as certainly democratic as Indiana, and that Indiana was without doubt as democratic as Alabama. Mr. Kern left Baltimore last night for Mansfield, O. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Washington was yesterday appointed the head of the woman's department of the republican campaign. "The department will send out women to take the stump for the republican ticket," said Mrs. Foster. "Two women will go from New York headquarters. Miss Helen Vark'k Boswell and myself."

Active in politics for many years, he was one of the leaders of the Wisconsin legislature in 1901 and was elected speaker. He is a strong supporter of Senator La Follette. A unique platform has been issued by Dr. Moses Stearn, who is a candidate for the rfomination for congressman from the third district of Pennsylvania. Among other things Dr. Stearn believes that women should be prohibited from wearing earrings and compelled to wear skirts at least six inches from the ground, that every man and woman at the age of 59 should be pensioned by the government, and that the senii3 should "be

To the bystander It looked as though party lines had been obliterated, and in these days of intense political rivalry it was quite unusual to see strong political oponents engaged In such an animated conversation. A word or two revealed the drift of the conversation. It was on base ball, and the fact became patent that of the two great national games the Amerlens play with great relish, politics tends continually to the making of new alignments, while baseball brings men together regardless of politics, religion or social standing.
