® @ The Ligonier BDanner. ‘ . 2> J. E. McDONALD, Editor i : Pablished everv Thursday and entersd in the postoffice, Ligonier, Ind., as second-clas: matter : ‘PHONE No. 18, : e e It seems awfully difficult, at times, to understand the aims and purposes of the Indianapolis News. For weeks and weeks that paper devoted columns of its valuable space to giving aid and comfort to James Kirby Risk, who did his level best four years ago to deliver the Indiana delegation to that notorious political freebooter, Willian Randolph Hearst The manner in which the-state chairmanship contest was handled by the News made it almost a political necessity to elect Stokes Johnson. To have done anything else would have led to complications on which rno chances could be taken. When the News lent itself to shaping up matters so as to practically render it imperative to choose between Tom Taggart and the type of politicians represented by the Lafayette man, it is easy to discern on which side of the fence self-respecting men ought to have been found.—J. B. STOLL in South Bend Times. ) . 2 : R R ERR : A The election of John W. Earle, county auditor, as county chairman by the Republicans last- Monday at their meeting at Albion, reflects great credit‘up'an the party. Itis promised, at least, that we are to have a clean, diguified and decent campaign. Mr, Earle will make a good chairman. He is a good citizen and we believe that he will practice decent politics. His party made no mistake when they pressed him into the seryice even if they did have to deny the honor to several fellows who wanted the place so badly that they could taste it. ® 2R xR B The Democrats will soon get together for reorganization and we hope that & good . live Demoerat will be selected as county chairman. It is understood that Mr. Stauley will not acéept a re-election to the position a 8 he caunot give the duties the attention that they demand. - He took the place two years ago under protest and his party can hardly demand any farther sacrifice upoa his part. What,we need is a good organizer, somebody that can harmonizs the party and make a winning fight for the whole ticket. : b ® % k€ F WS There are many things that we like about J. Kirby Risk, the Lafayette Democrat, who was the head and front of the fight for the reorganization of the democratic state central committee. A fellow forgets that Mr. Risk was a red-hot Hearst henchman and that he made a bad mess of it,at the Lafayette banquet last October, when he reads what he said after the contest at Indianapolis last week. Risk, speaking of his defeat, said: *‘l am frank to say that I have opposed Mr. Jackson in this chairmanship fight, and I want to say further that no matter how warmly I have been against him lam going to be just as vigorously against the republican party from this on. Mr. Jackson has been elected chairman of thiscommittee and 1 want him to be the chairman in every sense of the word. I ama man who believes in ending a fight just where it ought to end. This fight is ended right here tonight. Ido notsay thatl will not be down here two years from now carrying on this same war, but this fight is finished for me tonight.” Mr. Risk is a hard fighter, but he is not a hard looser. Personally he is a most excellent gentleman. ; 889 222 - It is openly charged by politicians who know that the unfair and silly effort of the Indianapolis News to make the democratic state chairmanship outcome a brewer’s victory regardless of who won was inspired by republican designs with party dictatorship in them. The News is for Hugh Miller for the republican nomination for governor and against Jim Watson and Charley Miller. It tried to make the people believe the Democrats were being manipulated by the brewers, accusing every candidate for state chairman of beiug a saloon ally,and it wasdone to create such a feeling against Democrats that the temperance forces would demanda temperance man at the head of the next republican state ticket and the News would fight Watson and Charley Miller as brewery allies and dictate Hugh Miller’s nomination and control him if elected. But its work is so course it looks like the proverbial ostrich hiding from discovery by sticking Its - head under the sand.—Rochester Sentinel. e - : % P %X %W f . Information from various parts of the state is to the effect that there is a general desire among those interested in the make-up of our state courts that the Hon. Timothy E. Howard, of this city, be nominated for supreme judge. This preferénce is predicated upon a pleasing recollection of the able manner in which Judge Howard acquitted himself during the six years that he served as a member of the supreme couart of the state of Indiana. The experience that he had and the knowledge that he acquired while serving in that exalted position are of incalculable value. Iu all essential respects Judge Howard is admirably fitted for the supreme bench.—South Bend Times. 2 : ‘ S 8 =g ‘ Republicans sit up and take notice when they hear the possibility of Governor Johnson’s nomination. This is the way the New York Press talks: : One of the singular things of polities is the potential peril to republi caniem of the democratic party after having been battered the lengtg and breadth of the land for the last dozen years. Though President Roosevelt carried Minnesota by a landslide in 1904 he could not drag the republican eandidate for governor in over Johnson, who was elected by more than 6,000. If Johnson had been strong before he went into office,’ he begcame irresistible in his state afterward, for when he ran for reelection in 1906 he swept the formerly republican Gibralier of Minnesota with a pluralty of 77.000! The strength of the solid 3outh for the democratic party has been increased since the last presidential election by the admission of Oklahoma to statehood, with seven votes in the electoral college. Minnesota has in the electoral college eleyen votes, in previous years always counted in advance as sure for the repnblican&icket. ' *%% ¥ 8 : Many railroads are annulling passenger trains for the purpose of cutting down expenses. The presence of thousands upon thousands of empty freight cars along the sidings of all railroads tells the story most eloquently that freight shipments are exceedingly light, while six months ago there were not enough to carry on the traffle. This demonstrates how quickly the business of a country can be paralyzed and how far-reaching the present panic is. It also goes to show that merchants are not buying goods and of course that means that factories will have to curtail productions. The result of it all is that hundreds of thousands of men are thrown out of employment and the whole business and industrial world must suffer. ~What is needed now is an advance agent of prosperity and a man who can ‘rescue the country from the hard times from which it is suffering.—Colum‘bia City Post. e ' 4 SRz e o : The reorganization of the state central committee at Indianapolis was - attended with considerable interest. It was not nearly the furious fight _ that the News and other republican newspapers would bave their readers “believe, but a good national contest that ended about as expected by nine ~out of ten of the participants The election of U. 8. Jackson was the only thing to do under the circumstances and even the so-called enemies of Tom Taggart were free to admit that his man was the logical chairman and the ”m for the place. Mr. Jacksen will make agood chairman. His _selection will mean much to the party in the state and the Democracy is to “be. congratulated upon the fidelity and good sense of the men who

FELICITY OF SPEECH - The power that some men have of swaying an audience is often commented upon. Wonder is expressed how this is done—how it is made possible of achievement. The secretis this: An audience is swayed when the speaker suceeds in establishing an eletrical current between bimeself and those whom he addresses. Simply addressing him to the understanding of his hearers—to their minds solely—will not establish such a current. lie must first suceed in reaching their hearts, awaken their sympathies. That accomplished, the speaker will have easy sailing. His audience will become responsive, and it will manifest its appreciation by riveted attention, subdued or revealed applause, and, upon reaching a climax, by unconstrained shouting. ' A case in point is a charming little speech delivered by Thomas R. Marshall, of Columbia City, at a re_ cent gathering of the Twelfth district Democrats, at Fort Wayne. Mr. Marshall did not make a. set speech. It was just a little talk, an appreciative: acknowledgement of the honor done him in naming him 1n connection with the Democratic nomination for governor. Note how soulfully he spoke, how deeply he touched the popular heart by these impressive words:

‘‘Some men are born with the capacity of making mouney or not doing this or that thing,” he said. ‘“When the angel put me ‘upon earth and kissed me good-bye. he gave me not the capacity to make money or to push myself along in the world, but the capacity to win friends. I have always bad them. I have always badf#riends who clung to me, friends who someétimes sacriflced their'own ambitions for me. I have been thus blessed in business and in social li‘e, aud here again today I am surrounded by friends who speak in kindness and give me what is dearer than any earthly bhonor could he—the assurance that thirty-five years of my life. have taught me to believe. that I am a Democrat who can be trusted, For this I thank you., and come :what will, weal or woe to Democracy, vic- ‘ tory or defeat. be assured that as I live so shall ‘I die, faithful to Democracy of Indiana and loyal to my' friends. I will not attempt-to blow a keynote. I simply wantto express my love and loyalty to you, the good Democrats of the Twelfth district.””

It will be observed that no attempt at oratory was made by Mr. Marshall. But every word counted ; every sentence drew his hearers nearet to him, Love, admiration, was awakened. It was a heart-to-heart talk, without any rhetorical embellishment whatsoever. And what Tom Marshall said to his friends was the plain simple truth. That's what made his sweet little speech so effective—that is what evoked an outburst of applause that admitted of no doubt as to its genuineness, of its warmth, and of its unalloyed sincerity.

A Most Successfnl Meeting The meeting of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture at Indianapolis last week was well attended and considerable interest was shown. The report of President Conger showed that the past year had been the most prosperous’ in the history of the board, the profits of this fair being nearly $25,000. -Many improvements were made upon the grounds ahd the outstanding debts for the purchase of lands was considerably reduced.

‘The election of members of the board resulted in the reelection of the old members, there beihg no opposition to any of the members excepting in the eighth district where David Wallace was returned by a large majority. In the reorganization of the new board, Ed S. Tuell, of Corydon, was elected president; and Chas Downing, secretary. The department heads appointed are:— Charles H.

Take Big Chances

“‘Speciilation in onions is about as uncertain and costly as betting on a horse race,” says John Neuman a heavy shipper from Milford and Nappanee. ‘‘We have now in our warehouse at Kendallville and Kimmel, in Noble county over 126 carloads of onions representing an outlay of $50,000, that we are disposing of at a net loss of about ten cents a bushel. Almost every dealer lost heavily. It is one of the fortunes of the trade. Prices of onions are gradually declined. In ths first place we have to suffer a shrinkage in weight of the onions of at least five per cent., then there is the cost of storing, and crating, and the interest on the money invested: Wae areselling onions now at abont the same figure we paid for them early in August. The best price obtained for onions in carload lots this week has been sixty-two cents a bushel shipped in bags. In orates they would be fifty-five to sixty cents. The price varies from forty to sixty cents. Until the financial stringency last fall the trade in onions bid fair to exceed that of former years as the Indiana crop was considerably short of an average, and prior to that time we sold large supplies at a fair profit. Stock on hand in /Noble ecounty comprises only a small part of our holdings in that county for the season. The crop in other states was larger than usual and has had something to do with the drop in prices.”

What Then ?

If a country like ours can be paralyzed by a speculators’ panic such as we recently passed through, under general business conditions of the most favorable character, what do you imagine would be the effect of a panie for which there could be assigned a real canse? About a year ago the Times pointed to the dangers that were sure to grow out of thousands upon thousands of aliens being drawn here by the wild scramble for condensing a century’s progress into a quarter of a century, Yon: know what is being said of unemployed labor in Chicago, New York, etc. What do you think conditions will be in these eenters when a real panic one for which there is a real cause, shall come upon the country;as it surely will some of these days—unless the American people emaucipate themselves thoroughly from the cancerous growths that are gnawing at the vitals of the body politic?— South Bend Times. i

3 Walkertonr Wiil Coatinue Wet ~ The question of whether or not the town of Walkerton shall be dry for the next year was determined in a decision made by Superior Judge Van Fleet at South Bend when he decided in favor of the applicant in the case, V. W. Hardenbrook, who had been refused a license by the commissioners and appealed. A blanket remonstrance was the cause of the refusal and as a result of its failure to finally prevent the issuance of a license, costs to the amount of $1,600 will be left for the remonstrators to pay.. The decision was based on the legality of taking names from a remonstrance and resigning: them prior to a hearing. g Not Any Excitement ‘Congressman Gilhams is.a nice gentleman, but so far he has failed tomeet the expectations of hisfriends or fulfill the promises of his campaign managers. At least we have failed to hear of the ecapitol trembling at his approach and the Twelfth district seems to occupy the prominent place in the world’s eye that we were assured it would assume as ‘the suave Lagrange gentleman took ‘bis seat.—Fort Wayne Journal.

Another Fallure Municipal ownership is reeeiving much dlscussion in Goshen just at present. Fora number of vears a great deal has been said of the large profits made the city by the incandescent plant. In fact the profits according to regoru of omotnl‘; were so large it was hoped that by this time our entire city debt would be wiped out, but it appears that the discovery bas been made that the plant does not pay, in fact it is a burden to the taxpayer. Something is wrong somewhere and the trouble should be located. The records show that according to the way certain officials figured the incandescent plant made a net profit of $3.225 66 for the year ending June 1, 1902; to June 1, 1903, $4.476.76; to June 1, 1904, $4.4124.17; to June 1. 19056; $5.208.90; to Junel, 1906, $5,781.60; aud for the past year but $244 16. Is it possible that reBorts have been doctored?—Goshen emocrat. ;

And we have been told that the Goshen plant was a zold mine. We have had all kinds of figures from Goshen but the truth is out at last. It is the same old story and it will continae to prove itseif everywhere, But we are to try the experiment just because the politcal whims of of a small cotefie of self seeking politicians ‘must be carried out. The city conncil might stop long enongh to investigate conditions at Goshen. They might profit by the conditions that have recently developed in our gister city. Of course, we know that they will not do it— but why not?

Married at Albion

Last Sunday at the home of the bride’s sister at Albion Miss Ella May Baughman and Mr. John R: Marker, of this city were united in marriage by Rev. C. A. Price, of the Presbyterian church. The wedding was a quiet affair and was attended only by the close relatives of the contracting parties. The bride was formerly a teacher in the public schools of this city and a young woman of high attainments. She was held in high esteem among all who knew her in this city and was most deservedly popular in her home at Albion, where she is highly connected. - - Mr. Marker is well known in this city, where he has spent a good share of his life. He has been iln the employ of the Lake Shore for several years, and is now holding a most responsible and exacting position, that of Supt. of Bridges for the roads of the system west of Toledo. He has his headquarters at Elkhart where he will take up his residence. All join in tendering congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Marker. -

Will Try to Burn Both Ends

Mr. Blodgett is carrying out the program of the republican state managers. His constant attacks upon what he is pleased to call the Taggart-brewery combine he hopes will have the effect of driving democrats to a prohibition stand in the campaign. The republican party will be held to declare in favor of the tempeorance work that has come from their hands and that is approved by their high officials. The active politicians in that party oppose, though unable to get under the record, and for this reason an effort is being made to drive the Democrats to adopt the same policy, which would have the effect to neutralize the loss of votes the Republicans feel the party will sustain through the temperance stand it has taken. It is ‘‘good politics” from their standpoint to induce the Democrats to take a similar course and thus share the less. No Democrat should be drawn into the trap.—Martinsville Democrat.

Too Much Money

The Dayton News is authority for the statement that John H. Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company, -*‘is one of the highest salaried of all the captains of industry. His salary is $144,000 a year.” If this be a fact, and The News would hardly make the deciaration if it were not, prospective buyers of cash registers-should think twice before'placing an order with a corporation that sells its- product at a price which makes the payment of such an exorbitant salary a possibility. No president of any corporation ought to be given such a salary. It is against reason, against justice, and against public policy. As a matter of fact. it is a highhanded outrage.—South Bend Times.

And Under Munifipal Ownrship

If the stores keep om establishing early closing hours, and if the arc light system still keeps on having broken wires it will be a common thing for people to carry lanterns, when coming up town at night. When stores close and lights go out, the appearance of a dead town is considerably magnified. —Columbia City Post.

A New Play

The mnovel proposition in mental science and telepathy that thought transmission may cause or prevent crimme, that sheer force of unspoken command or suggestion may. be practically applied, forms the basis of argnment in the new four-act play by Augustus Thomas, “The Witching Hour,” which will open in the Garrick on Sunday, Jan. 19th. The story of the play concerns Jack Brookfield, a Louisville gambler; his niece; Frank Hardmuth, assistant prosecuting attorney for the city, and Clay Whipple, a son of Brookfield’s old sweetheart all of whom are involved in a plot of love and crime. Brookfield opposes Hardmuth’s suit for the hand of his niece because of his lack of moral fibre, and encourages the suit of young Whipple upon whom he has been keeping a guardian’s eye. Young Whipple has an inherited aversion to a cat’s eye jewel, and kills an habitue of Brookfield's gambling house, who has annoyed him by forcing a cat’s eye scarf pin upon his attention. In the second act the case of young' Whipple is before the supreme court on an appeal from a verdict of guilty. IThe boy’s mother, through an old letter written by the judge recalls to ‘him his own inberited aversion for cat’s eye jewels. i : ~ In the third act the case against the boy has been finished en.second trial and Brookfield, who has developed a certain hynotic power, has been trying to impress a member of the jury by thought transmission. In the meantime he has given to the press certain information connecting the prosecuting attorney with a plot to assassinate a former governor of Kentucky. The public mind centered oo this revelation, telepathically transmits:the public’s distrust of that attorney to the jury, and the boy is acquitted. The attorney attempts to murder Brookfleld, but is unable to attack him.

In the fourth .act, Brookfleld, realizing that unspoken thought is a potent force, assists the attorney to escape, because long before the attempt he had thought the governor deserved assassination, and was not sure that the respongibility is not his own,rather than the weak attorney’s who had always been a pliable creature under the gambler’s influence.
