' " K NE S : : {n the Jong run it will be found-—if it Las not already become obvious thiat great injury has been done to’ the business activities of the United Siates by varions methods and deviees of artificial fostering. Even adpiitting that it was wise in the early history of the country to nurse domestic business, more eapecially the industries. the fact remsina that this rractice has far over-reached the margin of wisdom. It pot only has ac customed many lines of business to special privileges whichi they do not nead . but upon which they contipnue to insist, but it bag also crippied other lines and bhas made them dependent on artifloial aid in the great arena of trade, wheu, if they bad been forced to resort to scientific developmient they might have beea on both a sound and an independent footing.~ Kansas City Star. : . %0 8 9 . : e poll of republican editors made by the Chieago Tribune shows tremiendous protest against Joe Caunon and the Payue tariff bill. The repiablican and wdependent editors in every stata north of the Mason and Dixon lue. aud west of the east line of Ohio expressed their n';man and in every locality, sven in the president’sown state the sentiment is strongly .against the present policy of the party. The editors only reflact the sentiment of the people .to a small degree, as they generally stand by their party to the last. The Tribune as well as the other republican papers are making & scapegoat out of Joe Cannon, Mr, Cannon is only sn instrument in the pands of his party at Washington. He stands at the head of the republican congress because the republican leaders need him He s their servant aud if he is wrong the party is wrong. He stands out as the representative of the system, backed by the Fordueys, Boutells, Crun.packers’ Watsons, Gilbams, and the republican caucus. If Cannon is deposed, the same system will select his successor and the same crowd will rule by virtue of the rules that sustaio the majority in congress. The Payne tariff bill that is now 8o unpopular with the average republican editof was passed by republican votes with hardly a protest from the republican press. The measure has been indorsed by Mr. Taft and will be allowed to stand as loog as there is & republican majority in congress. The people can get no relief as long as they allow the friends of the system to revise the tariff The republican editors have done one thing, have done it well, when they so freely and openly admit their party 18 wrong on one of the most vital gquestions that confronts the people. : j : : ' e RS RS ~ There are a whole lot of Republicans in the state who say that if it was a good thing to foree Jim Watson to run upon a local option, Hanly-made piatform, why not let Mr. Beveridge and his friends try the same game. They did not raise a hand or a voice against Hanly domination two years ago and seemed to enjoy the predicament of the ' Fairbanks-Hemingsway-Watson machine that later went to pieces upon the loeal option rocks That these men will blindly and meekly follow the new leadership into a stratge camp is beyond comprehension and nobody expects it. Bob Brown's protest at the republican editorial meeting last week is significant. 1t menans that there will be no dodging the questions that are dividing the pAarty. 2 ®®» gne : The republican editors at their meeting at Indianapolis last week had planued to dodge several questions of party policy upon which the leaders are badly at sea, but, this was frustrated by Robert A. Brown, the Frankfort editor, who don't believe that the Cannon-Aldrich tariff bill is such a bad thing after all. Brown threw the Beveridge leaders who bad control of the meeting into a fit when he demanded a reaffirmation of the national and state platforms and an indorsement of the republican congress. Rather than discuss the point, the committee on resolutions hurriedly incorpo-. rated Brown's idea into the report, which was quickly adopted. It took the most careful mainipulation and tact upon the part of the Beveridge erowd to keep down a row that isnow so imminent when the factions meet. } : *ee 20 V - We note with pleasure that Roy D. Keehn of Chicago, has accepted an invitation to ;address the demoeratic meeting at the Noble county love feast to be held at Albion next week. Mr. Keehn who comes from good old demoecratic stock and who still has an abiding faith in the party, is closely allied with William Randolph Hearst, the great New York editor. Mr. Keehn is now general counsel, in Chicago, for Mr. Hearst's papers and his interests and is one of Mr. [Hearst’s most trusted friends. Oar friend, Keehn could lend considerable interest, both loeal and national, to the Albion meeting by taking advantage of the opportunity to give some indieation of what Mr. Hearst expects to do for Democracy in the fature. Everybody knows that Hearst is naturally a Democrat. His antecedents are all democratic but since the nomination of Parker in 1904 he has been a free lance and has generally fought bis party nominees. _

What a fearful condition would prevail if crops should partially fail this year. We have surcly reached that point in crop produoction when thefe are enough consumers to absorb a full crop and have little laft before another erop is produced. For several years the country has produced big crops, but the abundance to spare after providing for home needs has ot been great. Itis a well known fact that the supply of wheat and corn was well exhausted before the new crops were harvested iast year A like condition is anticipated this year. There i 8 not goiog to be enough of these cereals to maore than meet requirements until pew crops are ready for the market.— Logansport Pharos. :

These were then distribug.ied about the various water courses | and lakes of the state. i As aresult it is now estimaied that about $3.000,000 is annually apent in Indisna by outsiders who go there to fish. It is quite likely that as much more is spent theré by Indianisus who previously went elsewhere for | their sport. The cost of stocking the lakes was comparatively small.
