to say what they think of it. It is too early yet to foretell what their answer
will be, but for the sake of that fearless, energetic, Indomitable and prin
cipled statesman, Senator Albert J. Beveridge the friend of the peopletheir answer ought to and We believe will be, "Well done thou good and faithful servant!" It is Senator Beveridge's platform; It is his fight; it Is
the people's platform, it is their fight, and we believe in November it will
so be recorded.

Mayor Parks should come to Hammond and watch how the famous anti-amalgamation dope for the deBecker machine manipulates the remonstrance DroDosition. The machine is lectation of the society of feeble
working magnificently these days. There has been no trouble with the trans- minded-
mission and not a cylinder has missed fire yet. Mayor Becker's new "Ions
stroke," which has revolutionized political machines in this vicinity, has developed more horse-power than ever in the new test. In fact. Mayor Parks'
machine is a "one-lunger" compared with the Becker six.
We, the Republicans of Indiana, declare our determined support to those
great policies for the common good developed under Theodore Roosevelt and
bearing hia Dame, and we demand that they be given effect in legislation and administration.
"We believe in a protective tariff, measured by the difference between the
cost of production bare and abroad. Leas than this Is unjust to American
laborers; more la unjuat to American consumers. That difference should be ascertained with the utmost speed and the present law modified accord
ingly.
We demand the immediate creation of a genuine, permanent nonpar
tisan tariff commission with ample powers and definite duties in the law
Itself. ,
We believe with President McKinley, in hia last tariff utterances, that
"the period of excluslveness i past,- and we heartily favor the Republican policy of reciprocity first announced by Blaine and later advocated by McKinley. .
We demand comprehensive laws for the conservation of our natural re
sources, and especially that the coai deposits of Alaska shall be kept the
property of the nation, to be developed only under lease and payment of Just royalties to the government.
In time of war, "or any other emergency, when ordinary forms of taxa
tion are not enough for the needs of the government, the nation should have
the constitutional power to tax incomes. We heartily favor an amendment
to the constitution giving congress this power.
We favor such limitation of the powers of injunction as will not imperil
the liberty of any ; man without notice and hearing.
We favor national leglalation which will end child slavery In the fac
tories, mines, and sweat shops throughout the land. .
We- favor just and liberal pensions to all deserving soldiers and to the
widows and orphans of those who are dead.
We demand the enactment of laws, providing for publicity as to cam
paign contributions, in both state and nation.
We demand that United States senators shall "Te elected by the direct
vote of the people. .
Good roads mark the progress of civilisation. Present legislation is
wholly Inadequate- to their proper maintenance and extension. The farmer pays an unjust share of the expense. Therefore, we favor state and couuiy aid and an effective highway commission with powers and duties as defined
by the laws of most of our sister states.
We favor revision of our civil and criminal codes, to the end that technicalities and unnecessary formalities of pleading and practice may be eliminated, speedy Justice administered, and the cost of litigation reduced to a minimum. ' We point with pride to the long list of effective and salutary laws that have been enacted by Republican legislatures. We always have been the friends of organized labor. We created a labor commission. We provided for factory inspection, Wa abolished prison labor. We established trade chools. We enacted wise lawi for the control of child labor. We enacted model statutes providing for nonpartisan control of the state's charitable, benevolent, and pAal Institutions. We created a railroad commission. We vlaced private banking under state supervision and regulation. We have taken the people's money from under political control and. distributed it tnpartially under the public depository law, and provided that the interest on the money shall accrue to the public benefit. We enacted laws safeguarding the public health, and meeting in all respects the Just expectation of the most prosperous and, progressive jof American commonwealths. We recognize that no president in our history ever began his administration with such universal favor and good will as did William Howard Taft; few men have entered the presidency with such extraordinary training. As collector of Internal revenue, prosecuting attorney, judge of a state court, solicitor general, federal Judge governor of the Philippines secretary of war, builder of the Panama canal, regenerator of Cuba, each period of
official activity . lnfmediately following another for hia entire adult life, he brought to the discharge of the great duties of the presidency broad executive experience and the grasp of governmental affairs. We indorse his administration and pledge to htm our support In any efforts to secure th enactment of genuine progressive legislation.
The spirit of the times demands not only wise policies and sound princi
ple, but clean, vigilant, brave and sincere men In public office. We indorse
and applaud the splendid record In our senior senator, and especially his record in the last session of congress, which deserves unqualified approval of all the people of the state. With pride and confidences we make a solemn pledge to the people that a Republican legislature will1 return to the senate
of the United State this man, whose name is synonymous witn victory Albert J. Beveridge.
Uncle Walt The Poet Philosopher
THE USUAL LUCK. 1 shot an arrow into the air, and then I gave it no further care, but spirt some kindling and fed the hogs, and threw some bricks at the neighbors' dogs, and did my chores with a joyous mind, and woe and trouble seemed far behind. That night a peeler came to my bed, and broke his billy
upon my head, and bore me off to mouldy cell, and there I sit on a stool and
yell. And there It's likely that I'll remain; my arrow ruined an aeroplane.
It flew right Into an airship's works and made , the rudder give mighty Jerks,
and knocked some cogs from the jinglegig, and tore a hole In thingumyjig.
The man who rode on that ship in style was knocked from his perch, and fell
mile, and when he landed, alack! alas! he broke an acre of greenhouse
glass. I'm charged with arson and larceny, and homicide In the steenth degree, and breach of promise and other crimes, and lawyers badger me for
my dimes. I shot an arrow one evil day, I let It fly in my aleck way; there
was wood to saw, there were chores begun, there were useful tasks that I
should have done, but I fooled around like a useless clam; I shot my arrow, and here I am! WALT MASON. opyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.
BEVERIDGE'S CHAMPIONING OF CHILD SLAVES. I am against tbo brutal savagery that places the child of five years and upwards before a loom for ten hours a day, that puts a boy of seven and upwards on the coal breakers, and that stifles the life out of little children in sweat shops and factories. It mnst and shall be stopped. Extract from Senator Beveridge's speech. There Is nothing In the senator's splendid speech that rings truer than these thrilling words against the child labor evil. There is nothing under the sun that commends Mm stronger to the people of this commonwealth than this arraignment of those manufacturers who are sapping the life of the unfortunate children of this generation by employing them at an age when they ought to be in school. Indiana's senior senator has fought this evil ever since he has been in public life. It may be said to be a hobby of his. For the magnificent fight he has made for these little ones, he deserves the support of the people If for nothing else. The terrible evils arising from the practice which Senator Beveridge denounces "brutal savagery" are a menace to the nation, and as he says, "itmust and shall be stopped." Senator Beveridge has championed thj cause of these tender little slaves, on whom the weight of their few years, by pej on of their occTTpatlosus, is crashing into premature graves. Shall the people fa.fi to champion Senator Beveridge for it?
INDIANA HARBOR'S SUFFRAGETTES.
The women of Indiana Harbor have the right idea of the suffragette movement. There is no question that the dames and damsels of the "Harbor
City" are in politics. They have a well defined platform and they are stand
ing squarely on It.
Thisi pisiform is, "The nearest way to a man's heart is tlirough his stomach." The petticoated politicians realize that the first essential to the
wise solution of public question is a proper frame of mind. They know that a proper frame of mind is only possible when the wants of the inner
man are satisfied.
Consequently the suffragettes of Indiana Harbor have prepared a sumptuous repast for the hungry politicians and after a glance at the menu there
is no question . that the weighty problems that will come before the con
vention will be solved with the clarity of vision that only a well-fed man has

KEEP THE PURE FOOD LAWS.
The ice cream and soft drink season Is at hand and it would be well at
the beginning to warn some of the proprietors of ice cream parlors that the pure food Inspection may be around at any time and make arrests for those who are neglecting to properly label their syrups, etc. There are dealers, too, who make their cream from Ingredients that are injurious to the health, and many deaths have been caused as the result, not in Lake county alone, but elsewhere. When Pure Food Inspector Tucker was In Lake county a few weeks ago he stated that he would return In a short time and Inspect some of the ice cream parlors. This is Just a word of warning and it might be well for those who are violating the law. There Is no need to worry for the man who dispenses of only the best creams and ices.
