s v @ ' o d P A @he Ligonier BDanner. e J. E. McDONALD, Editor üblished every Thursday and entered in thepostoffice, Ligonier, Ind., as second-clas matter - : - - ‘PHONE No.lB. - For Thoughtful Meditation - Not since 1892 has the revolt against the methods and policies of the ‘republican party been as aggresive and widespread as it is now. But the success of the Democracy depends absolutely upon its ability to make wise use of this opportunity. If the counsels of its most thoughtful leaders prevail, if the democratic party plants itself upon fundamental principles ~upon principles which commend themselves to the judgment. to the _sense of right and to the intelligence of the people—it may command a measure of popular support which will assure its restoration to. power. The pe'ople ‘distrust the republican party. -Evidences abound that they are ripe for a change. Obviously, therefore it should be the policy of the democratic party to win the confidence of the people—to take no step which will arouse doubts as to its capacity to give the country sound and acceptable administration. The drift now is toward the Democracy. It ghould not be checked by any act of unwisdom on the part of the leaders of the Democracy.—Baltimore Sun. _ e : - ® xR TR . ' " The Democratic state convention to be held in Indianapolis on Wednesday and Thursday of next week promises to be the biggest and most enthusiastic of any similiar gathering in a generation. The first session will be on Wednesday evening, Governor Marshall, who is to be the temporary chairman will be introduced by State Chairmau Jackson and will preside at this meeting and make a speech. On the following morning at 9 o’clock the next session will be held. ‘At this meeting Senator Shively will be introduced by Governor Marshall a 8 permanent chairman and will make a speech. Afterward the committee on resolutions will report and the nomination of candidates will be made. There is a long list of candidates for the various nominations to bs made, and there is earnest but good natured rivalry. A feeling that a nomination 18 practically equivalent to an election is widespread, and because of this fact the delegates will undoubtedly exercise a-wise judgment in choosing candidates.. It can make ho mistake, however, since there are so many capable men seeking places ~on the ticket. With a well-balanced ticket and a thoroughly Democratic piacform there should be no doubt whatever about the result of this election, . : i : i i -8 60 BON : . The Indianapolis Star (Beveridge organ) sdys, that if the republican party is to be saved ‘‘it must cease to-be a beast of burden for the interests” This.is a confession of the charge made in manyl campaigns by the Democrats and independeuts that the republican party and the mercenary interests were working hand-in-hand. These interests furnished the cam- ~ paign fands for the repubiican organizations and in.return were given what legislation they wanted. “Now what the people are no longer in doubt about the matter, there is only one course for them to pursue, and that is t 0 put the republican party out of power all along the line and keep it out until it has purified itself. No other course is open to the self respecting ‘rank and file of that party than to clear their own skirts by registering a decisive protest at the ballot-box. And the only way to do that is to vote the democratic ticket. ' : ‘ < s R aetes : At least Senator Beveridge has thown himself out of office and Jpossibly Congressman Crumpacker and the state officers. At any rate it looks as though he had done something which js contagious and may spread to other states. It will, no doubt, take some time to patch over the hole that Beveridge has ripped in the Republican breeches.—Lake Shore Star., - This is the view taken by the old reliable repuklican organ at Crown ‘Point, and is only an echo of the opinion of thousands of other Republicans who view the political situation with alarm. : , ~ ® R NS _ s Twelve species 'of bugs do three hundred and fifty millions of dollars worth of damage in this country every year. Were the native wild birds as plentiful as they were when the country 'was new, they would annihilate these bugs. ‘‘Spare the birds and spoil the bugs’ should be the battle cry of the nation. L ; 3 = R R exw : The insurgents propose to unseat Speaker Cannon when they get ready, as they seem to take it for granted that the Democrats will come to their aid and pull the chestnut out of the fire. These fellows are playing a big - bluff upon their constituents, and the country, and we hope that the Democrats will not fall into the trdp. The Democrats have voted solidly twice to remove Mr. Cannon. but the insurgent Repablicans have refused to sup- - port the proposition,and in the face of their protest against conditions in the committee on [rules, they united the regular republican caucus and helped . to select a solid standpat committee entirely satisfactory to Cannon and . bis backers. Thé Democrats should cut loose from these fellows; should allow Mr. Ca.m?dn to serve out his time, and should support only such prop~ositions as meet popular approval. The Republicans should be allowed to . fight out their own family feuds in their own way. The Democrats are not to blame for Cannon or Cannoniem, and they cannot be held responsible if he continues to rule the republican congress and dominate republican policies. ; ; - S e ses . Another straw shows the direction of the political wind. ‘Tuesday, in the 32d congressional district of New York, a special election. held to choose the successor to James B. Perkins, who died several weeks ago, resulted in an cverwhelming defeat for George W. Aldridge, the republican candidate, and the election of James Havens, a tariff-reform Democrat. In 1908 the Republican majority in the district was 10,167 and Tuesday this was reversed, the democratic msjority being 5,910. The republican candidate was machine made aud unpopular. His record was bad and thousands of voters refussd their support upon moral issues, butthe protest against “Aldrichism was the leading reason for his defeat. ' o Sl BN ._ . But a few short months ago Jim Watson was the big Republican in In‘diapa. He had been nominated for governor in the'greatest convention ever held by his party in the state and he went into the campaign with almost & solid party at bis back. He made a despet‘qte effort to save the state to the Republicans and the return of a Republican to the national sen- ~ ate in the face of the frightful handicap that Hanly and his legislature “bad placed upon the party. He went down to defeat; not on account of any faults of his own, but becanse of the record of Hanly, the treachery of the Beveridge machine and the refusal of Beveridgs to iend any aid during the campaign. If Watson and his friends forget these things and turn the other cheek.jwe misjudge them. We believe that they feﬁnn‘ot belp but resent the treachery of Beveridge and the present course of the Beveridge machine in its evident purpose to discredit Mr. Watson and his !ollow-lng.l

Governor Marshall’s Speech

If Governor Marshall makes many speeches such as he made at Wednesday night’s banquet he will find himself in the possession of a pretty healthy presidential ‘‘boom’®’ before he knows it. Thoughtfnl people are beginning to feel® that our institutions have been subjected to a severe strain, and that desirable and necessary as are ‘many of the great reforms that have been proposed. the first thing to be done is to make sure of a continuance of the goverament handed down to us from the fathers. We had something to say Wednesday of the doctrine that there was a great reservoir of power outside the Constitution out of which the President might draw. We all know that there has been encroachment by the exécutive on the judicial and legislative departigents of the government. Governor .Marshall referred to this and said:

. I say without the hope of success ful contradiction, that any President or any Governor, who seeks to usurp the functions of the legislative and judicial parts of our government, has traveled a far way along the line that leads to despotism in this country. . Now the question is whether the democratic party is prepared to stand against this sort of thing. It did not do so during the campaign of 1908. On the :contrary its efforts was, till forced into a show of oppogition by the assults of the President, to show that it was more Rooseveltian than Mr. Roogevelt himself. In other words it did not, operate as the Governor says it should operate as the Governor says it should operate, that is as a brake to keep the blamed old thing from going to fast downhill. To that extent the democratic party ceased for the time to be democratic. : .

We should think of principles before policies—policies should be the outgrowth of principles. There is a legitimate influence which the president can and should exert on congress, and mugj: more is there an influence which e people should exert. But menﬁ)ers of congress are no% responsiblé’to the executive—they are respousible to the people. Thetheory which has been so popular was in bighﬁvor during a famous - democraf administration, that of Andrew Jackson and it was vigorously opposed by the great Whig, Daniel Webster. We are today face to face with the old danger. As the Governor showed last night, the dangerous tendency still persists. He said;

‘*What do we hear constantly whistling over the telegraph wires? We hear about ‘“my policy again in Washington. My policy! The President’s policy, If President Taft had signed the Payne-Aldrich bill and shut his mouth he would have .been in a great deal better shape in America than he is today trying to defend it. The senators and representatives who passed that bill are the people who are responsible to ?;xe people of this country for its passage, not the President. And now he has other measures, other policies. Bills are drawn at the instance and suggestions of the President of the United States to be introduced in/t-be halls of congress, and to be put through under whip and spur.” : Truly we need to return to fundamental principles. When we stop to think over the institution we must see that little has been gained in the way of reform‘by departing from them. For practically nothing has been aceomplished in positive legislation. It may be that our government machinery will not work satisfactory, except in accordance with the law of its being. The famous *‘policies’’ still halt. It may be that they will, as far as they are worthy, get forward more rapidly as we are content to try to put them through by the use of the old fashioned methods. ' .

We believe that there are many men, many republicans even, who will applaud the declaration for principles made last night by the Governor, who will hope that he is right when he says that the Democrats are going to set their faces “like flint against usurpations either in state or nation of the right of the people in every community to run their own affairs tosuit themselves. —lndianapolis News. .

Getting the Worst of Immigration

Statistics show that thousands of the best citizens of the United States are crossing over into canada, while on the other hand we are receiving from European countries many undesirable citizens. A league has been organized at New York to make immigration easy. It seems to be easy already. What we want is an immigration law that will include only the best people who desire to come here, so that we may properly offset our exodus ofgood citizens to Canada. —Rochester Sentinel. . Answer the Questions The census is provided for by the constitution. It is every citizen’s duty to reply to the questicns just as it is every man’s duty to vote.

UNDER A NEW NAME 5 r New Corporation — A Change of Name ~ Same Interests, Same Men and Same Methods. ‘ v Last Saturday the details of the organization of The Straus Brothers Campany, a new corporagion, were completed at the office of the company in this city, by the election of Simon J. Straus, president, I. D. Straus, vice- president; Abe Ackerman, Fort Wayne, 2d vice-president; Odell Oldfather, secretary and treasnrer; Calvin Knecht, assistant secretary, Ligonier; P. B. Green, assistant secretary at Fort Wayne; Jerome Ackerman, assistant ‘secretdry and treasurer at Toledo office; Frank R. Smith, assistant secretary and treasaurer at Lisbon, North Dakota; George Ralston, assistant treasurer, at Fort Wayne, and George B. Buist, anditor.

The articles of incorporation had been filed at Indianapolis early in the week by Simon J. Straus, I. D. Straus, Frank R. Smith of South Bend, Abe Ackerman of Fort Wayne and Jerome Ackerman of Toledo. The capital stock of the new corporation is $1,600,000, all paid and held by the incorporators. - " The new corporation has taken over the business of Straus Brotaers & Company of Ligonier, and the National Land: and Investmet Company of Lisbon, North Dakota, owned and controlled by Straus Brothers & Cempany, consolidating these interests and making a strong organization that will be able to bet-ter-handle the growing and exbanding business of the old companies. Straus Brothers & Company have enjoyed a wide and enviable reputation; they .are the pioneer improved farm land dealers in- this part of the country, and always have been leaders in their line. They ‘have bought and sold more improved farm lands than any other tirm in the United States, and have ' bought and improved more Ohio and Indiana farms than any other dealers; they have a well established business, with branch officers at Fort Wayne, Toledo, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, Lisbon, North Dakota, and several other points; they have had a corps ot splendid real-estate men always in their employ, and have been looking for an investment in good farm property, and they now hold many farms that have rapidly increased in value.

The new corporation will continue its main office in this city, and the business will be under the manage ment of the same men whose combined efforts have made Straus Brothers & Company the leading farm merchants of the country. The same policy will be continued, and the busines will be transacted along the same lines that have established such a wide reputation for Straus Brothers & Company. . : This change will in no way affect the interests or holdings in the banking business by the Strans people. They own. a control the Citizcns Bank, in this city. and have controlling interests in the Commercial Bank at Fort Wayne, Auburn State at Auburn. Indiana, State Bank of Topeka, at Topeka, Farmers State Bank, at Albion, Millersburg State Bank, at Millersburg. These institutions are all strong and substantial. well managed and conservative. i

Big Snow Fall

Forty three years ago, in the lake region of Central New York ou the 17th day of April, a drizzing rain set in, which, after twenty-four hours, turned to snow. The snow continued for forty-eight hours longer, and when it ceased it was found to be five feet deep on the level. Many buildings had their roofs broken in, and havoc was wrought with the branches of pine trees. But other trees had not put forth their leaves 80 a 8 to be injured. The snow storm was preceded and followed by warm bright weather and the spring was as early as usual.— South Bend Times. ; : Mother’s Task : When mother gets breakfast she must remember that father likes his breakfast food without cream Johnny wants both cream and sugar; Susie doesn’t like breakfast food at all and must have a substitute; Mary has to have grapefruit, and the rest of the family oranges or apples.
