Postoffice receipts for the month of May show a net decrease of nearly five per cent in the fifty largest cities of the country. The decrease was, however, much larger in thirty-three of these situated in the sast, while seventeen western cities showed an actual gain. This indicates that the business depression is less in the west than in the older states. Western energy and the promising crops keep the mails busy. : ® .8 28 Senator Foraker has fired . a broadside into the Roosevelt administration by declaring in an interview that the talk of revising the tariff and passing other laws affecting corporations was the most idiotic sguff he ever ‘heard. He added that rather than yote for them with the ‘coming session of congress he would resign and come home. Foraker blamed the present conditions of business directly upon the Roosevelt policies, and said it was no wonder a pall was hanging over business. Referring to the unemployed he said that the ‘“‘sunshiners” could do much missionary work in bringing about a more sane -condition of the public mind as applied to the persecution of capital. Asa'bone to the ‘‘sunshiners” he said that while corporation earnings had been showing shrinkages recently, he felt gratified that June business would show a substantial increase. : & : R RRS The Kansas City Star is hoping for a democratic house as the result of the November election. It says: : This reactionary elementof the party has far more power in congress than it has in a national convention. With Cannon speaker of the house and Aldrich and his coterie of special attorneys in the senate, Mr. Taft would need something more potential than a ‘‘big stick” to do the work that will be cut out for him. The best thing that could happen to the country or to Mr. Taft personally would be the elec.ion of a democratic house along with a republican president. The retirement of those who have allied themselves closely with Speaker Cannon seems to be about the only way to break up the combination made against progressive repnblican policies. The retirement of enough of these to secnre- the election of a democratic speaker would give the next president a tremendous advantage. In the last session of congress the president had better support from the democratic side than he had from the republican side. . R RS e Tennessee has dropped the prohibition notion and will take up the - county option plan for a trial. Mr. Carmack, who was the candidate of the believers in state prohibition before the nominating primaries, was badly defeated. The campaign was flery and picturesque. In Chattanooga, for instance, the campaign closed with thousands of women and children parading the streets in the interest of ex-Senator Carmack, candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. Banners bearing all sorts of pleas to voters were displayed, such as: ‘“Vote for Home and Mothers;” *“Vote for Your Boy;” “Booze or Bread?” and many others. At the polls, women sang hymns and little girls begged men to accept Carmack badges. Tallyhos loaded with singers went from precinct to precinet and ho voter reached the polls without being besieged by them to cast his vote for Carmack and prohibition. The vote against Carmack was overwhelming and it is now conceded that the people wanted to repudiate the methods he and his supporters employed.—Fort Wayne Journal<Gazette. SR e . .According to reperts from Cleveland the *‘trusts’ have invaded even educational circles. The school book trust, as the American Book com,pany is termed, won out in a desperate fight to control the election of presi~dent of the National Educational association in session in that city. The trust was particularly opposed to Dr. Wm. O. Thompson, president of the ~ Ohio university, and has now for the second time secured his defeat. The new president, L. D. Harvey, is superintendent of the Stout Manual Training sehool at Menominee, Wis., and has been prominent in educational circles. One incident in the campaign was the hiring of 250 of the best rooms in the principal hotels by the American Book company, and tendering their free use to their ‘‘friends.” It is generally believed that the pub. lishers of school books have developed the methods of “persuasion” into a fine art, the result of long practice on teachers and school authorities. tE2 s e Judge Dodge of the Elkhart-LaGrange circuit court, has been reversed again. Several months ago he fined E. P. Rucker, former editor of the Elkhart Truth, for publishing an article that he (Dodge) did not like. The fine was a stiff one, s§loo, and Dodge at one time proposed to send the offending editor to jail. The supreme court now steps in and says that Rucker was not in contempt and that the fine was illegally laid. It clears Rucker and puts Dodge in & hole. It is strange how sensitive such judges as Dodge _get when they see sométhing in print that they do not like. A little less politics, a little more good sound sense and some law might be a good thing for certain courts. 24P 5 ses s : Evidence again that the tariff is a local question comes with the insistence of the Minneapolis Journal that the Republicans of that state, insisting on the preservation of our natural resources, demand free forest produets. The Journal says: , . _ ; Iswould also seem to be quite ropriate for the state of M , : g,ovg farther than the nstignnl p.l:tgorfn has gone and declare 'i;::&oct:ut; for the emcouragement of reforestration by the state, and also to urge our ‘representatives in congress to promote such legislation as will make more freely accessible to our markets and our uses the forest products of other countries. The forests of Minnesota have been eomhmos in the industries - 80 liberally and so rapidly as to bring very forcibly to the attentson of the ‘people of this state, not only the necessity of husbanding our resources and restoring our forests as far as possible, but also the necessity of bringing in - more freely the forest products across the Canadian border. : s ; 5% sgae > ~ James M. Guffey, the Pennsylvania Dom, who has been getting _quitea lot of noterity out of the democratic nal convention at Denver, ~ has been for years the party leader in the keystone state. Mr. Bryan and his friends have been trying to eliminate Mr. Guffey and he most vigorously shown its friendship to Guffey by re-electing him to the national conven§B¢- and has repudiated the Bryan wing of the party that preposed to elevate former Congressman Ker to the place so long held by Guffey. This incident of the Denver convention, while of nation wide interest,has a local tinge on account of the many relatives of Mr. Gufley who reside in this sas e 4 Soope £ = . s

EXUBERANT CAMPAIGNERS It is full early yetin any campaig sense, but the exuberance of eager partisans is not to be checked. It may be by reflection or by the resul of the “‘try out” if much of it is after the manner of the New York Glo and Advertiser, which prints a cartoon by Mr. Gillam labeled, “T Real Issue.” This shows a workin?i man standing before a table on whic] is a loaf of bread bearing the words “Election of Taft means a whole loaf,” By it is a half loaf ticketed, “Election of a democrat means a half loaf,” while further on is the addition, “*And *possibly no load.” e wonder that such exuberance as this has not recalled the President Harrison’s saying, ‘‘The gates of Ca.stle Garden do not swing outward.” {t would have been quite as appropriate in the face of the hundreds of thounsands of aliens who have go{e through the outward swinging gates of Castle Garden in recent months. Only the other day a thousand weFe left frantic on the pier at New York because the ship could not hold more! Of course, the “whole loaf’” and tlte “‘full dinner pail” and the ‘‘threestory dinner bucket” of Pig Iron: Kelley, who was probably the fathbr of the ‘“‘prosperity’ argument for tize republicans, have long been stock campaign cries. But really there are sometimes things that one wouﬂ‘l rather have left unsaid, such as the late George Du Maurier used to illustrate. ' : Old habits are hard to break in parties as in men. Butit has to be done sometimes. The republicans once had the ‘‘bloody shirt’’ habit. After many struggles, in which some argued that ‘‘there was still another campaignin the ‘‘bloody shirt,”’ it hgd to be given up. A typical story of that time is a spellbinder who*" %iot a-going”’ in the customary manner and was exhibiting the ensanguined garment *“‘for all it was worth,” when a mentor at his elbow -whisperbd that that was out of date; that we were reconciled. After a ' sputter over a glass of water the speak‘ier continued, ‘*And just to think, ]adips and gentlemen, just to think* God bless us, all this time we’'ve beén fighting our own brother!” So the “full dinner pail” and the ‘“‘whole loaf” and that sort of thing will haye to be explained away in a hurry in this campaign. While our New York contemporary was making its exhibit, or ‘‘exhibition,” other New York papers were printing the report of a university settlement committee which says ‘‘the unemployed have entirely ei;hausted their savings, as it has been nearly nine months since the peroid of general employment set in,” arﬂd these people are now rapidly exhausting their credit, which is their last resource. The committee praises tb]e the small tradesmen, who are feeding these people simply in the belijf that they will be reimbursed in time. Many people in the Italian distrijt are subgisting entirely on bread an herring. The average grocery bill for a family has fallen to $3 a week. There are numerous charges of two cents, while twenty-five cents is'P; large charge. Yet even at that sales are steadily decreasing and children in plenty are to be found who are aﬁ most literally half starved, having long had insufficient food. We cot[jlmend the advice of the Springﬂe]jdv Republican on this subject; ' “These pitiful conditions exist when the republicans are in possession of all branches of the goverhment and when their policies haye prevailed for years; and the party ticket stands for a continuation of the existing regime. Under theFe circumstances one might suppose| & decent respect for facts known to all the people would compel a retirement of the old full-loaf republican, half-loaf democratic campaign c?y. It will only excite ridicule, and no party can afford to fall under popt;far ridicule, when seeking a victory| at the polls.” | It would seem, in short, that &he “full-loaf’’ will have to be relegated to the limbo that contains the ‘‘bloody shirt.”” Perhaps the ehﬁly exuberance on the subject will |be valuable. But the campaign managers can not too soon get their working clothes on. Exuberance is a dangerous quality sometimes.—l‘}ldianapolis News. i

Not Much Change | In 1907, 5,214 county licenses were issued saloonists in Indiana. The year previous the number was SQFSB ‘The 1807 revenue from license was $l, 444,630.68. In 19061 t was 31.412,9%59. Deapite the anti-saloon agitation, ‘there has been little dropping oﬁ' in ‘the number of saloons in the state.

- Obivunary : : Joseph Bailey was born April 1, 1834. He died at his home in Ligonier surrounded by his friends July 6, 1907, having lived 'a little more than 74 years. His early life was spent in and around Brimfield, and here he was well and favorably known. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church in the year 1865, and in the spring 1866 he was married to Mrs. Rebecca Collett. To this happy union two children were given but both of them in early life left for the heavenly home. October 5, 1904 he was married to Mrs. Emma Price and together they happily lived until death took him from her. Since this last marriage he has made his home in Ligonier, and here in our midst he was familiarly known, and he will be sadly missed from us. .

The deceased leaves to mourn their loss besides his bereaved wife, three gisters. But many are the neighbors and friends who regret the death of this good man. His sickness was not protracted, but having ‘been stricken seriously, the end came speedily. And while all that skill and love could do for him was gladly done, yet those who tenderly .watched by his bedside saw that he was gradually failing, and he quietly left us in the early moments of July 6. Now we say a good man has fallen in our midst. We pay a worthy and beautiful tribute to his memory, we tenderly bear his body to the tomb where we shall place it to rest, but we do not part with him without hope for we expect some fair day to meet him again. ‘ The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Chas. E. White assisted by Rev. Thos. Younger at the Methodist Episcopal church at Brimfield in the afternoon of July 8, and his body was committed to the grave in the cemetery which ' adjoins this place. . wyk

e Newspaper Fabrications ‘A few weeks ago David B. Hill, of New York, sailed for Europe. Before going the reporters sought an interview with him on the political situation. He declined to talk, but the interview appeared just the same Hill was credited with saying that Bryan had killed the Democratic party by becoming a standing candidate and that the party was dead. Being on the ocean he was out of reach, and the lie had a chance to get to every part of the country before it could be contradicted. Hill knew nothing of it until the American papers reached Paris, and then he made use of the cable to have the statements credited to him denied. There is no question but that this kind of work is being done for political effect. Democratic papers did not deny the Hill interview at the time for the reason that they had no means of ascertaining whether it wds true or false. After a lie like that gets started, or any other kiqd of politieal lie, it will keep on traveling and the truth will never overhaul it.—Columbia City Post. -

Campaign to Begin in September Loujs Ludlow, writing in the Indianapolis Star, states that the campaign wills not be started by the state committees of either party until some time in September, as far as the speaking tours -are concerned. The Republican committe is on the run just now and will import "all of the strongest. speakers on the stump for the party in their effort fto swing the state to their side of the column. The campaign will open in earnest at the time mentioned and from then on there will be something doing every minute, as everything points to a Democratic success.—Columbia City Post. ; ,

The Long and Short of It, A Chicago Tribune dispatch from Denver says: Two delegates from Indiana, who arrived today, at once became known as the “long and short of it,”” when they were seen together in the lobby of the Albany hotel. where most of the Indiana delegates are quartered, They areS. W. Kann of Ligonier, who is b feet, 5 inches in height, and John Eggeman, who is 6 feet, 7 inches. Eggeman was formerly athletic instructor at Notre Dame. He complains that he has trouble in finding a bed to fit him. He is a lawyer and -lives at Fort Wayne.

Headed This Way. That two Cheyenne cow punchers astride bronchos can go from Chicago to New York in ten days, or at least cover 100 miles in every twéuty-four hours for ten consecutive days, is the unique bet of several thousand dollars made by ‘‘Jim’" O’Leary, hand book maker and former gambling king‘ and taken up by Harry Gill, an acquasntance. The ride will be started next Sunday. ‘Kid” Gabriel and “Square Button Charley” are the two westerners who will attempt to show Mr. Gill that he is a poor judge of horseflesh. i Get a Copy ) The democratic campaign book for 1908 has been received at, this office.

There are few radical demands being made and they are quickly discouraged. The idea is to prepare and adopt a platform which all of the Democrats of the country can consistently stand. '

g Inspected Meat ‘‘Kosher’ meat is a term frequent’ ly met with 1n market reports. The word simply means pure, and is applied to the meats which have been slaughtered and inspected according to the rabbinical laws of the Jews. In the first place the animal is bled to death instead of being stunned by a blow in the forehead. Then the lungs are examined. It they are found in any way diseased the-car-cass is rejected. If the lungs seem healthy the meat is stamped with three Hebrew characters pronounced ‘“‘kosher,” but meaning. pure. The Jews, however, use only the forequarters of animals. Hence the hindquarters go on |the general market as ‘kosher meat’’ although to the Jew it is ““traefer,” or unclean. This rabbinical inspection has been carried on for centuries,and may account partly for the general healthfulness of the Jewish race. For reliability it beats the‘‘kosher” stamp of the government inspector.—South Bend Times.- ‘ :

Ralston Sure of Marshall’s Election The Hon. Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, is indulging in the gift of prophecy. Mr. Ralston was in Indianapolis Sunday and staked his reputrtion as a prognosticator on Thomas R. Marshall.. “The Democrats,” sald he,‘*have not had as good a show to carry the state since 1892 as they have at present. We have learned a great lesson, which is that there is nothing to be gained by fighting each other. Old animosities have been buried and the graves of factional hatred have been covered with green sod. We are pulling together as never before since 1892 The people are tired of the fake pretenses of the Republican party, of reforms promised, but not accomplished, and this year there is going to be a house cleaning.””

: Departed Strength . Mr. Hearst’s position in American politics in unique. He had the great Democratic party on its knees at one time begging for mercy. It was thought that Hearst had thestrength to either crush the party or win success. Just as soon asit was found that his strength was inflated, Democracy grew brave Hearst is now a man without a party. He regards the voters as poor dumb creatures because they are Republicans and Demoerats and he hasn’t any confidence iu leaders of the day. Having lost his confidence in m& he has lost what little strength he had and is nothing more than a discredited leader. But what a scare he gave ’em when he was in the game.—Lafayette Journal.

Always An Excuse As the price of beef goes up, we hear first that the cause is the general prosperity and the high prices of other things; next, that it is the scarcity of calttle; next, that it is due to floods in the Southwest. In every case, it ia alleged that something has happened over which, the packers have no control. Wonder if anything is ever going to happen to bring the aforesaid prices down?—St. Paul Despatch. What Citizens Can Do : There is just one thing the citizen can do, aud that is to cut his consumption of meat down to a minimum or even do without it altogether. The doctors who differ in so many things’ agree in this, that we all eat too much meat anyhow, and there is no doubt that we would be bappier and healthier and a good deal better off in pocket if we ate less.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

_ Edward Weade Suicides The suicide of Edward Weade, the well-known farmer of Sparta township, was a terrible surprise to a wide circle of friends and neighbors last Sunday. He was about the last man that would be picked as a suicide and his method shows that he was at least temporarily deranged. Prosperous and the owner of a good. farm, the head of a splendid family and with prospects most gratifying, only a deranged mind would haye impelled the dreadful step that opened eternity. : " Sunday forenoon Mr. Weade was about the farm and it seems that in visiting the corn field noticed that the farm hand had broken doWnl some corn at the end of the rows while turning. This seems to hz’;ve! thrown him into.an uncontrollable rage and he went back to the house where he vented his feelings in no uncertain way. Mrs. Weade undertook to pacify the infuriated man but tono avail for he seemed to grow more and more angry. He then proceeded to vent his anger upon the family and he drove them all out of the house declaring that they were allin league to ruin him. .Later he seemed to realize his error]and was evidently pacified. He left the house ostensibly to salt some sheep but not returning to dinner a search was instituted and his lifeless body was found in the barn. He had been dead for several hours. Soon after leaving the house Mr. Weadse evi‘dently repaired to the barn where he took the hay rope, making anoose, fastened the end to a beam and jumped into space below. His neck was broken and death was instanteous. He was a large man and was but fifty-seven years old. Mr. Weade was one of the best known men in the county. He regided in this city for some time and was well-known here. He had three children, Chas. Weade of this city being the eldest. Coroner Black made a careful inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the sad affair and gives as his verdiet that Weade was temporarily insane. |

The Contract Let The city council held a meeting last Tuesday night and they closed up the electric lighting contract with the C. L. Olds Construction Go. of Fort Wayne whose price for the plant as specified was $25,941.20. This contemplates all the work up to the street line for the commercial lines and the street equipment complete. ' , ; The plant is to be an old style affair, about the same as the one now being operated by the Drapers, only larger. Mr. Banta voted against the proposition being the only voterecorded in the negative. He held out for an up-to-date modern plant such as other corporations and cities are putting in but to no avail. The Olds people say that they hope to have the plant in operation by December 1. Work will be begun in. thirty days and rushed to completion as rapidly as possible. :

Safety in Automobiling ‘What would be wrong about a law requiring that persons who run automobiles, machines that are more or less complicated, to pass some kind of examination as to their knowledge regarding the machine that they expect to run through crowded streets. No one would be willing to ride in a train that is. in charge of an engineer who has had but a few days’ experience in handling an engine. The automobile is no toy that can be handled by & novice. The safety of the public is too important to be put in jeopardy by some fellow who knows but little or nothing of the mechanism of the machine he attempts to handle.—Muncie Press.

America Should Do Likewise The Germans are much more drastic than we in their execu&ion of the pure food law.

The bookkeeper was fined 500 marks, the foreman 300 marks, the jelly-boiler 76 marks, and the judgment of the court was ordered published in three prominent papers, with the guilty manufacturer paying all costs.—Warsaw Times.
