H Poemfeor Today : By Bayard Taylor : o - .‘ BAYARD ;I‘AYLOR, poet, traveler, editor and diplomat, . was born in Pennsylvania Jahn. 11, 18%, and died in Ber- . lin on Dec. 19, 1878. Of Bayard Tavlor's active life it is , impossible to give an adequate idea in a brief sketch. His first poems were published when he was sixteen. Y - He traveled afoot over Europe in 1844-46 and in 1849 was X seeking gold in Californja. His. life was a series of N long travelings and trips abroad, létters and other con--7 - ~* tributions to the press and innumerable lecture tours. 3 < At the time of his death he was United States minister ; to Germany. : .

McDONALD, Editor 1 ’ -‘ablished every Thursday and entered in thepostofce, Ligonier, Ind., a 8 second-clas matter ‘PHONE No. 18. » ~ Cause for Hostility | What combined capital has done for this country cannot be over-esti-mated. Withoutit our natural resources and products ¢ould never have been developed as they are. No one denies thatin the face of this admitted fact the public cannot be indicted of unreasoning hostility against corporations. That hostility exists is true, and while in many instances it is without foundation and clearly unjust, it is also true that it has excuse, 1f not justification, in, that conspicuous men, shielded by the impersonality of their corporation, have committed and are committing excesses, injustices wnd wrongs which, in their individual capacity, they probably would not be guilty of, and certainly could not perpetrate with impunity. -+ A 8 to ascribing corporate wrongdoing to the ‘‘debased morals” of directors, what is to be said of the railways which for a quarter of a century maintained the most expensive lobbies at Washington to prevent the enactoctment of laws gompelling the use of safety devices for coupling cars, and which today would rather pay heavy blood money than abolish grade croseings. Whatof the morals of the Pittsburg bank directors who permitted their officers to bribe councilmen to appoint their institutions as public depositories? This does not mean that all banks are subject to suspicion, but whe can blame the ocitizens of that place if they regard the debased morals of those directors as responsible:#6r the corruption of aldermen? These cases may be excéptional, but téby are flagrantand Injure the credit of all corporations. The innocent suffer with the guilty.—Chicago Tribune. &R RS : Mr. Bryan could not withstand the temptation to butt in on the controversey that has divided the democratic leaders in this state. He declared in favor of the state convention nominating the candidate for senator without any consideration of political conditions that confront the Democrats of our state. - Mr., Bryan miglht turn his- attention to Nebraska where he finds-about the sam®e situation. It is now up to him to put the Nebraska Democrats on record as favoring a particular candidate for senator. : eH e 2= : : ~There are a lot of democratie papers in this part of the state that seem to think that they are making themselves strong ‘with their party by abusing Tom Taggart, in season and out of season. If the fellows who run these sheets were/one half asloyal to their friends and to their party as Tom Taggart has always been, the Democrats of their locality would have no reason §o find fault with their course. If they were‘half as active in their endeavor to strengthen the party or to contribute to its success, they would find less time to dbuse Democrats like Tom Taggart. L ; &R ReER = John L. Thompson of Gas city has been nominated by the Republicans of the Eleveuth district as their candidate for Congress. The nomination came to Mr. Thompson after a sharp fight but with a considerable show of harmony. Thé platform is a straddle on the tariff, and like the state platform, silent on the liquor question. Mr. Thompson, however, is a platform 1n himself. He ‘is a protectionist and a stand patter. He was originally a Democrat but left the party onaccount of its stand upon the tariff question;—ln the last campaign he was an ardent supporter of Jim .Watson and eounty local option. ; : ! » RN R ] _ The Republicans down in the “old burnt district,” recently represented In congress by James E. Watson, late candidate for governor, have renominated Congressman Barnard, who voted with the stand pat crowd and helped to pass the Payne-Aldrich bill. There was no opposition to Barnard and the resolutions adopted after a long squabble indorses his course in congress. Beverﬂige was complimented and praised, and the local option law was endorsed. It was arematrkable convention. It was on all sides of every question, and it was only by tactfal management that the meeting did not break up in a row. ‘ . ) ®RS gaa | We wonder what fault the Auburn Courier, and other }awpers of its kind, who devote so ri)uch space to snarl and snap at Tom ’l‘sfggart', will find with the following, taken from a recent interview with that distinguished Democrat. Mr. Taggart says: o = o “T prefer democratic success in Indiana to the gratification of any personal ambition of my own. Every political position I ever held, namely, county auditor and mayor of the city of Indianapolis, were given me the direct vote of the people. Being one of the people, I have always believed in the rank and flle of the party deciding all questions of political preferment. I am for the enfranchisement of the boysin the trenches, the voters who win the victories and always have.****Having unbounded faith in the patriotism and judgment-at the rank and file of the democratic party, I am in favor of givingiem the opportunity of registering their choice for United States senator at a primary election to be held on the same day, in everyprecinct of the state of a convenient time after the result of the November election is made known. This will carry out the democratic platform and will permit the entire party to go into the campaign! with a united front and will make sure the election of the democratic state ticket, the congressional and legislative tickets.” : | What humbugs these pretended independent metropolitan newspapers are! They haven’t half the fairness and none of the conscience of the oldtime partisan press! They color their news stories, suppress them or elaborate them, just to suit the end in view. Take this case of the proposal to nominate a candidate for United States senator by the Indiana Democratic convention. | The Indianapolis Star and the Indianapolis N WS, both laying insistent claims to independence, are on opposing sides of the contention which is stirring the Indiana Democrats, and the bias is shown ‘ in each paper through the doctored dispatches, the editorial expressions and the cuttings from other newspapers just as much as the fn'ejudiée was ‘ exhibited that used to mark the comtroversial Indianapolis Journal and Indianapolis Sentinel. There are few, if any of the metropolitan newspapers that really are independent, although most of them profess to be so. Those that are not edited from the counting room are far between.—Washington Herald. i . | _T. S e i - It may be remarked that this:is & very large country and that a great mauy things are going on. We have legislation of a hundred varities, both lgaﬁ;pnd‘nationsl; reforms galore; politics in profusion, and countless issues upon which there are countless opinions. The public spends too much time in considering today matters which will be of little importance tomorrow. We indulge in ‘‘controversies” tor the mere sake of being contoversal. Men and measures ocoupy a large degree of importance for the moment, and then they give place to others—Dayton Journal, :

Insurgent Movement’s Future,

~ Speaking generally, thé insurgent movement embodies the uprising against class legislation, whether this legislation is disguised as a protective tariff or otherwise. It is directed against the autocratic assumption that whatever is must be right, that regularity is sene qua non of good citizenship, and that the future should be left to control of those influences at the national capital that have fostered the growth of inequality of opportunity, and the prosperity of the few at the expense of the many. When every just is made for the temperamental insurgency of some of the men identifled with the Murdock-Norris crusade, it still remains true that the movement is vital, and in its essentiale must succeed; because it is the embodiment of a political doectrine so fundamental as to be ethical and of such wide acceptance as to be irresistible when the ultimate alignment of the voters of the United States for.and against it occurs.—— Providence Journal,’

Standpatters Not Averse to a Democratié ! House, L

On the face of it the president’s speech partially concedes the probability of a Democratic house in the next congress and an anti-Republi-can tidal wave at the next election.

He says he looks with complacency on the threat of a Democratic heuse because he knows that the Democrats would be so helpless, go divided and so discordant that they would be thrown out of power at the next election and repudiated for many years to come.. We concede frankly that past results have given the president some reason for this optimistic forecast, but he may be disappointed. We have hope so strong as almost to be belief that the Democrats have won wisdom from hard experience. 'lf they are successful at the next election, it -will be because the people will vote not 8o much confidence in the Democratic party as distrust of the Republican party.—Roanoke Times. . Obituary Mary McConnell daughter of Alexander and Caroline McConnell, was born in the Hawpatech La Grange, county Ind., April 23rd 1849. In_the year 1854 the family removed to Goshen, Ind., then to Wisconsin in the following year, returning to Ligonier in 1863. In 1890 she was united in marriage to G. W. Gardener. In 1901 she went to Louisville, Ky where she resided with her sister for about seven years, making an annual visit to Ligonier. She was a charter member of the Presbyterian church of Ligonier and took an active part in the womens work of this church. The same was also true during her stay in Louisville where she was active in the work of the Fourth Church. She returned to Ligonier in 1908, residing here until her death. which occured on her natal day April the 23rd being thus 61 years of age. For the past year she has suffered much but during it all bore it ‘uncomplainingly. She leaves a brother and two sisters. ; i Gev Out of I)oorg, i ~ Get oat of doors, Houses are good ‘places to sleep in and to stay in when itrains and is dark; otherwise they iareistuﬁ_‘; and cooped up.

Evasion is Cowardly

It is impossible to characterize evasion of the temperance issue by the Republican state convention as else than cowardly. The county option law was placed on the statue books by a Republican legislature, signed by a Republicau governor and preserved against assaults for its destruction by the determined stand of Republicans in the general assembly following the special session which enacted it. Under its operation twothirds of the counties of Indiana have abolished the saloons by majorities 80 signal as to leave no question where public sentiment standa with respect to the law.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. . 3

Thanking one and all for the many kindnesses shown me and my family. : : Dr. C. A. WOODRUFF Pen Picture of Happiness, The happiest man in the land today is the successful farmer. He sits under his own vine &qd fig tree, undisturbed by the maddening noise of the great city. Banks fail, railroads go into the hands of the receivers, booming towns collapse, all busifess ‘stagnates. But the wise farmer can snap his finger at these things. He is the monarch of all he surveys, on his broad acres. And the honesty of his boys and the purity of his girls is guarded against temptations, and in them he is giving the county its best manhood and womanhood. The farmer is to be envied, and if he is not contented with his lot, he islacking in wisdom. '—Middlebury Post, Hanly Still “P;rulclouuly Active” Ex-Governor Hanly, so the report goes, is sending out letters to candidates on the Republican state and legislative tickets making inquires in regard to their attitude on the county local option law. We venture to say that none of them will make reply. Mr. Hanly wants to‘ know if the refusal to endorse the county local option law by the Re: publican state convention gignifies that the law ie a failure and that silence on the question is to be taken ag a desire to repeal the law?—Lo_ gansport Pharos, : i Notice :
