MARSHALL JUST A DEMOCRAT AFTER ALL. Governor Thomas R. Marshall has always had, since he became the chief executive of the great common-wealth of Indiana, a square deal from this paper. We hare at all times tried, at least, to give him credit for his sincerity and loyalty both to his party, his convictions and the state. Indeed, he has met with much fairer treatment from this paper than he has from a

number of thoee that pose as his party organ. It is then with a sense of disappointment that we note in his speech a very unjust criticism of Senator

A. J. Beveridge. He calls the distinguished senator "a blind man." He de

liberately stamps Senator Beveridge as a man without "any sense of justice and propriety." He declares that Mr. Beveridge stands for "an inquitous

system of government." He says that Mr. Beveridge "has been long in darkness and only sees truth like trees walking.'. He takes the passage of

Scripture, wherein it is recorded: "And lie took the blind man by the hand and led him out of town, and when He had spit upon his eyes and put His hands upon him. He asked him if he saw; and he looked up and said. 'I see men as trees walking." '

We believe that in November the people of Indiana will express their

fullest confidence in Senator Beveridge by a snug majority of representatives and senators-elect. We believe that they will take exception to Governor Marshall's castogation of Senator Beveridge. We believe that Governor Marshall in attacking the idea of protection, might, with a great deal more justice, have attacked the southern democrats in Congress who supported the Payne-Aldrich bill. Why ha3 Governor Marshall naught to say against these members of his own party? Simply becouse he is after all a democratic politician, a politician pure and simple, a party man, if you please, who wants to see a democrat elected no matter whether he be a good democrat or a bad democrat. It is impossilb after this not to impugn Governor Marshall's motives. He is a democrat Democracy is dear to him. He would rather see a bad democrat elected than a good republican. We reiterate sadly that we are disappointed in Governor Marshall.

WE DO NOT STAND ALONE. Because the editor of this paper has expressed the belief that Senator Beveridge and President Taft have the fullest confidence in each other, he ha3 been hold up by some brilliant wits as an example of a candidate for an insane asylum. It is some consolation to know that we do not. stand alone. The Baltimore American said on Saturday: Senator Beveridge and his Indiana associates may be counted upon to give the fuUest support to President Taft. The empty and unmeaning title tf insurgent is not coveted by this brilliant senator. He pr.-ceives the road to the achievement to lie in the direction of law carefully framed and executed. This i3 the temper of the president, and ho will stand for all that is best and truest in the ideals of the American nation. Indiana has not faltered. Its standard has not been lowered. It will give a good account of itself in the future, as in the -past.. It will go into the next congressional campaign with the name of William Howard Tafr upon its lips and with the policies of the president its inspiration. These policies are positive. They are workable. They are progressive. They are popular and they will give results. Steadily Mr. Taft is coming to be understood and appreciated at his solid worth. The inevitable tide of distraction is at flood, but it must recede before the sane sense of the people. The loosely joined criticisms of those who assail the president because he does or does not do this orthat have no basis. His grip, his clearness and his unswerving loyalty to the needs of the nation are making him him as one of the soundest and most substantial men ever in the White House.

THE MAGAZINES. Come, children, sit beside the fire, like little kings and queens, while I read out some sparkling tales from this month's magazines; a pleasant place in every home these publications fill; they represent our ripest thought, the writers' highest skill; they both instruct and entertain old age gentle youth, and in the place where darkness was they hold the lamp of truth. Now here's a splendid tale that shows how grafters, void cf shame, have held the town of Punkville up, and robbed it blind and lame. And here's an able article which shows that wealthy men are lothsome brigands, one and all, and should be in the pen. Here Wallace Irwin brightens up a page with bits of rhyme; and here's the 'steenth installment of a yarn of Oppenheim. Let's take another magazine; this one makes great to-dc, about the slaves who groan and bleed in far-off Timbuctoo; it also has a lovely roast about it has a most amusing tale about "The Nation's Crime," and forty-seven pgos of a work by Oppenheim. And thu3, my children, are they all they all are warm enough; they all are loaded to the guards with hot uplifting stuff, with arson, pillage, breach of trust, embezzlement sublime, all flavored with a sample of the dope of Oppenheim.

LAKE COUNTY PAYS THE FIDLER. Because there was dancing in Gary, Lake county is again to be forced to

step up to the bandmaster at Crown Point and pay the fiddler for Gary's terpsichoicn revel. The interminable "blind pig" case trials are to start again at Crown Toint on Monday with faint prospect that there will be any difference in results from what there has been in the past. It Is not exactly cheering to the forces of law and order to know that convictions in the cases tried in the past have been as scarce as buttercups in January, but it is infinitely less cheering to the taxpayers of the county who always have to foot the bills to know that they will have to pay for the fun. It is too bad that the time of Lake county's highest court is to be taken up by these cases, which properly belong in the justice courts. Since the last trials at Crown Point no fewer than half a dozen cases have been tried in Gary's city's court for violation of the liquor laws and in every case non-suits resulted and the defendants were cleared. Little else can be expected next week at Crown Point. The mills of the gods will grind so slowly that there will be little left to grind.

WORK OF THE DAY IN CONGRESS (Friday, April 29, 1910.) SENATE. The first test vote on the railroad bill was had in the senate and resulted in a victory for the administration members. The Cummins amendment, which would require all traffic agreements between railroads,1 and all rates, fares and charges to be approved in advance by the interstate commission, was defeated by a vote of twentynine to thirty-five. Eleven republicans, most of them from the insurgent ranks, and eighteen democrats, voted for the Cummins provision. All of the votes against It were cast by republicans. The senate will meet tomorrow. HOCSE. In the house the railroad bill was under consideration also. Numerous amendments were offered, most of which were voted down. An amendment making provision that the physical valuation of railroad properties shall be ascertained was offered by Mr. Madden of Illinois, and adopted after an extended discussion. The provision adopted yesterday for the inclusion of telegraph and telephone companies within the scope of the interstate comerce law was today further amended so as to permit of different charges being made for press dispatches and for night messages than are made for commercial dispatches. The house wilt be in . session tomorrow.

THE FORCE OF GENTLENESS. Ever read "White Fang," Jack London's companion story to "The Call of the Wild?". The latter story, you remember, shows how a dog gently feared, stolen for the Klondike sledge trade nnd most cruelly treated, escaped to the wolves, answering the call of the wild. "White Fang" shows the opposite, the power of kindness and good surroundings. Briefly this is the story: White Fang is part wolf and fights for the mere love of fighting. He is savagely cruel.

A TESTIMONIAL FOR THE SCHOOLS. The Hammond, the Whiting and the East Chicago high schools have been

placed on the accredited list by the colleges of the middle west. This, in itself, ! is in recognition of the line courses of study that are provided. However, the examining board went a step farther and pronounced the courses of study In these schools of especial excellence. This is a tribute to the ability of the educators who developed them to a high standard and carried it on to the present point. A community is measured, in a degree, by the schools which ft provides, for the rising generation and the results which may not be apparent now will be manifest when the products of local institutions of educational training have proven the effecacy of that training. The Calumet region is proud of the products of its manufacturing concerns which go out to the world. It should be equally proud cf the products of the local sehoeJs which remain in the cities and help to build them up.

brute. But Scott persists in his steady gentleness and finally finds the one

tender spot under the hide of the little beast. The climax of the good master's efforts comes when he leaves the dog for a few days. White Fang pines and refuses to eat and, what is more significant, refuses to fight. When Scott returns the dog meets him trembling aud, miracle of miracles THE WOLF IS WAGGING HIS TAIL. Which means that White Fang was conquered, civilized, saved. Redeemed by the force of kindness, the tali wagging signifies everlasting friendship and devotion. A lesson for parents: If a wolf dog, hardened by mistreatment, can be changed converted by persistent kindness, how much easier to change a rebellious child and melt and transform it by continued kindness. Cannot a father and mother be as patient toward a child as was Weeden Scott toward a hybrid beast? Is not your child worth as much as a dog? And teacher: You ought never to forget that divine power that is in you to mold and fashion with tenderness the lives of the little ones, some of whom come from wolfish homes. You are doing we say it reverently what the Almighty power would do If it could! And so of our blundering day. We

prate of Increasing prosperity, thrift, invention, organization of industry, as if to pile up money were the great problem of government. No!' The problem of government today is to lift up and help the lives of the poor, the wolfishly reared and neglected. Money making will take care of itself. When this world shall have been made as good a place for all men and women and children to live in as for ome unfortunate dogs, then, and not until then, shall we have made real progress in civilization. If you have never read White Fang," do so. It will set you to thinking. Or, what is better, it will set you to FEELING.
