‘ A Great Issue The doctrine of equal rights should be made a living, vital and controlling force in the goverxjmeut.’ The democratie party should insist upon the stamping out of graft and corruption from every department of gov- . ernment; the eradication from every department of government of all special favors; including bounties, subsidies ' and a tariff for any purpose other than revenue. . We need the honest sincere enforcement of the laws we already have . and the regulation of the rate of public utility corporatiouns upon a reasonable basis, that justice may be done the people and & fair return for the amount actually invested be afforded. . The great issue before the people of this country is, Shall there be government by privilege for a class or government by the people for all? This is a question within parties as well as between parties. The republican party is dominated by special interests and operates with them upon a prof-it-sharing basis. . : - ' We could not be oblvious of the fact, however, that we have Aldriches and Cannons in oar own party, and it is the duty of Democrats to lessen their influence as much as possible. We cannot prevent some-of them be-‘ ing in the party, but-we should keep them from running thLe party.— ExGovernor Jogeph W. Folk to the Democracy of Missouri. : ; : 2S¢ gas President Taf¢ is having more trouble in getting through his program since he tuok his stand with the stand patters and reactionaries than he did while he was still hiding behind the bushes with the public uncertain where he stood. He is reported to have received assurance from Speaker (annon and Senator Aldrich that they would pass the statehood bill, the rail bill, the postal bank hill and the ship subsidy bill, but thus far they made very little progress. Indications are that the president is being fooled by those into whose hands he has delivered the affairs of his administration. The progressives and insurgents fought for Taft’s view on the tariff and lost becanse of the atandpatters, In return the president allies himself with the fellows that appear the strongest and takes a stand against the men who are really fighting for the platform pledges of the party. For that reason he finds trouble in getting assistance. The men who are powerful are playfng politics against Taft in favor of the interests they represent and the country is piaying the fiddler. Taft is now tongue-tied and troubled.—Columbia City Post. : : , - .8 e peo a The railroads are alarmed at the turn things are taking at WashingtonThe Taft program has been so materially changed that the railroads rea lize that the law will not be as favorable as they had anticipated. They are just now very busy in trying to awaken public sentiment against the bill. Several months ago the managers of the Lake Shore gave out the announcement that the road would spend at least $5,000,000 in betterments . and improvements along the line between Buffalo and Chicago. The in- * formation was also given out that they would spend at least $3,000,000 for new equipment. Now comes the doleful news from “headquarters that if ~ congress passes the proposed bills that all this must be indefinatly postponed, that all ordera for equipment must be cancelled and expenses systematically curtailed. The heads of all the big railroads are talking the . gpame way, for the purpose of frightening the people and congress into a . sompromise that will suit the railroads. Thanks to the Democrats and the : - insurgent Republicans the bill passed by the senate last week over the pro test of Aldrich and his crowd is for once in the interests of the people, even if it did not go far enough tv suit the majority of the demosratic senators. | S see*ne : ' . When a leading Republican, writing about Senator Beveridge, says that ‘‘ingratitude, treachery and the swelled head may hurt his chances,” he cannot be classed as an enthusiastic supporter. And when still other leading Republicans are willing to go on record as saying that‘‘he thinks he is bigger than his party,” that there is “too much I,” about himm that he overflows with “egotism,” and many orher similarly disparaging things, it _is clear that he has succeeded in leaviug a bad tasie in the mouths of many persons in his party, i ‘f ¢ | S eaevtde L b | The supreme court of the state of New York has recently decided that . the board of health of a city has a right to prescribe conditions in which cows shall be kept, §nd the operations of a dairy farm carried on, in order to permit the mflm be sold within its jurisdiction—thus permitting milk inspectors to ‘‘go behind the returns,” so to speak. This isa sensible decision, though our fathers would have regarded it as interfering with indi vid- : £sl rights. Itisa re,g however, in which the good of society is para--lount, and in & complex civilization such cases are becoming more sud

NEW IMPORTING FIRM

Fine Purcheron and Belgian Horses Coming. Loeser Bros. will Establish Stables in Ligonier.

Several weeks ago the announcement was made that Ferdinand Loeser sepior member of the firm of Loeser Brothers, of this city, had gone to Europe for the purpose of buying a number of fine.bred horses especially adapted to the needs of the horse breeders of this part of the world. Mr, Loeser has spent several weeks in France and Belgium where he has purchased a large ship ment of fine bred brood mares and stallions. He will bring back a number of Percherons of royal blood and ‘high bred Belgians. ' The importation is expected in this city about July Ist and will at once be put in condition for inspection. Mr. Loeser writes that he has paid especial attention to the selection of a numpber of fine brood mares and high class stallions that are bound to suit the most critical judge of horses. They are bound to attract attention any where. They all come from the best sires in the greatest draft horse bréoding locality of the world. No man is better qualified to seleet high class horses than is Mr. Loeser. For forty years these gentlemen have been dealing in horses of all kinds but have devoted most of their attention to heavy horses and they have a reputation as most excellent judges of draft stock. They will establish their importing head quarters here whers they are now putting their barns in shape for the care and display of these horees. They propose to serve the people in this partof the state and serve them well. These animals will be sold at a reasonable profit and upon terms that must be satisfactory. Horse breeders are invited to the stables to make an inspection of the animals and due notice of their arrival will be made.

Recreation

While some do not work enough to get the proper amount of physical exercise, there are others who wear themselves out by too close application to their labors. A certain amount of rest is needed by every one. Mental labor will tire the body as well as the mind.. There is manual labor that requires close mental application, while there is some that requires no appeciable mental strain Every one should do some work of some kind. And every one is in need of some rest or recreation other than sleep. Idleness isfar from being a rest though there are ingtances when idleness may be needed. Change of occupation brings a desired rest. If your work is manual labor, seek mental recreation, music, reading, an entertainment or a social hour. If your work is chiefly mental, take some physical exercise. Make use of a work bench, ride, walk, or work in a garden. If it comes in yonr reach, follow the example of Gladstone or Lincoln and swing an ax, but with discretion. Every one who can should cultivate a habit of walking. One gets the fresh air and a variety of things seen refresh the mind. The observing person can not walk many blocks or far on a country road without gaining some good thought. Whatever your occupation, choose that for recreation which calls into action a difforent set of muscles and a different field for thought. ’Change is the sauce tha. sharpens appetite.,''— Milwaukee Journal '

Ligonier Has Appendicitis Epidemic

1t appears that the appendixes of Ligonier are beconing insurgent and the population of our husky neighbor on the south is trembling with fear be cause of the suggested epidemic of appendicitis. ‘*Ligonier is becoming noted for the many cases of appendicitis that appear from year to year,” is said that the rate of this disease is greater here in proportion to the population than any city in the state. If the disease is a germ disease and is caused from water, it can not be under stood, as the water used is taken from deep wells and is pronounced by expeng to be free from allimpurities. As arule the disease is more prevalent among younger and mid-dle-aged people.” That water explanation is all right, and, if it should come from LaGrange, might be accepted. Our Ligounier friends must offer some other suggestion, however as an explanation that includes water drinking in that town as the cause of appendicitis will not be seriously defended, even by McDonald and Thompson, the Ligonier editors. They know better. —La Grange Standard.

Not Solid for Beveridge

Not long ago the Chicago Tribune, a straight-out Republican paper, took a vote.in which several thousand persons participated, *and the general effect of it went to prove that the Republican party was irrevocably split. And now comes the Cincinnati Enquirer, which calls itgself an indepent‘‘family newspaper.” and makes public the result of a straw vote taken by it. This vote shows that the Republicans in Indiana are broken up worse than the late lamented tail of lailey’s comet, most of which, according to the astronomers. sudden ly separated from the head and scattered itself in space. Of the more than 1,600 votes received by the Enquirer, 920 declared against the Taft administration, 168 were doubtful about it, and only 306 stood true to the party head. This shows rather conclusively tha while the mere head of: the party may be compact enough, there is no “golidarity’’ about the rest of it.

Straw Voting Begun

" The Cincinanti Enquirer, which long ago ceasedto be a democratic or even a near-democratic paper.has taken the pains to get the political views of 1,500 Indiana voters, or as a ps “er puts it, ‘1,500 of the leading men . ¢ both parties in the state of Indiana, chosen not on account of their political affiliation, but because of their intimacy with business and social conditions in their respective commaunities.” Itis apparent from a reading of the replies set out that a large majority of the 1,500 are Republicans, and yet only 306 say that Taft’s administration is giving satisfaction, while 920. say that it is not, and the rest are doubtful On the other hand 1,110 say that Governor Marshall’s administration is a popular success, while only 174 say no, and the rest are in'doulit. With re‘spect to the inquiry: *Will Bever. idge be re-élected?” . the Enquirer gives the followiog synopsis of the vote: i

"The verdict of the replies is that he will not, or, at least, that is his position dangerously precarious. Of ‘those who expressed themselves 648 or 45 per cent.of the whole,said that he would be retarned. Those who took the.opposite view were 504, or 39 per cent.” Those who said that the re-election was doubtful were 256 or 18 per cent of the whole. In otlLer words, Beveridge is left in the minority. It is made clear by those in the ‘negative and those expressing doubt that Beveridge’s danger arigses from the fact that he is regarded as being in opposition to the Republican national administration and out of harmony with the doctrine of a high protective tariff. Egotism is charged against him in set and severe terms. Other attribute the doubt to the attitude of the republican state organization. Ever recurring as elements of probable disaster are the names of former Senator Hemenway, Congresman James 'Watson and former Vice President Charles W, Fairbanks. As in the matter of high liviug, it is a strigking fact that a great many Republican who voted favorably as to the Taft admistration asserted that.Beveridge would be defeated or that his re-election was an unsettled question.”’ ! o As to the operation of the PavaeAldrich tariff the same paper says: **Of the more than 1,500 replies received, 1,108 unreservedly asserted that it was not satisfactory to the people. This is about 80 per cent of the whole number. Those in the affirmative were 192 and it was by extreme liberality upon the part of the compilers that even this sum was reached. Fully 30 per cent of the number of writers qualified their affirmation by saying that there was no. general complaint and that the situation was being bettered through clearer knowledge. Others insisted hat it was mersly a noisy ‘minority that was againstthe measure. Of those who were in complete doubt or had no expression to make, there were 120.. There should be no gainsaying the fact that the majority recorded was emphatic and vigorous. * * * That it will seriously’ impede Republican victory in the state is a concession that is freely mage.”’

Rational Treatment of Inebrity

The frequent fining of men by the state for chronic inebrity seems to do very little good toward reforming them, and that is'the end to be desired. We.are clttain a better plan would be for the state to have an alternative. That is, give the habitual user of intoxicants, a chance to take treatment for the disease, ad ministered by some reputable physician, in lieu of the usual fine. The amount of the fine and costs would almost pay the fee for treatment. A certificate from the physician that the party in question had taken the treatment should be sufficient to discharge him from the state’s custody. There are effectual methods of state treatment for inebrity, and for that matter the state could set forth the best and require it to be used subject to certain qualifications, meet different temperaments and health conditions of the patient. This we think is a reform that should appeal to everyone.—Washington Demo crat. & e

A Minister’s Salary

The revelation of a church census taken four years ago’ in cities of more than 25,000 population, than the average annual salary of a minister of the gospei is but $663 explains a good many things. It explaihs why fewer young men are preparing themselves for the ministry and it explains much of the itefficiency of the church. No business organization that really expected to succeed would think of paying its chief officer so small a salary. No man fitted for so important a task could afford to take so little for his service; he would be consenting to an injustice to himself; for, with 8o meagre an income, he would be utterly unable to serve as a man of his quaiifications should serve his fellownen. Living salaries for ministers of the gospel are uot inconsistent with devotion to the cause. On the other hand, starvation salaries are in these days wholly incompatible with good work and high success. — Zanesville Times Recorder.

In Jim Watson’s Bailiwick.

Finley H. Gray, the present mayor of Connersville, was nominated for congress by the..Democrats of the Sixth district last Wednsday. This is the district that James E. Watson so long reprasented in congress. The Democrats are hopeful of defeating Congressman Barnard, whose record has not been satisiactory to the Republicans of the district, — Logansport Pharos. :

A Sharp Game

Ligonier Loses Agun. Narrow Margin for Winners. An Interesting Contest.

It was a coutest last Sunday between the Gary team and the locals for firet place counting from the bottom and Ligonier won by losing. We are now at the bottom of the list with Gary still within reach. The game was full of interesting plays and exciting situations. Simnith the Gary pitcher had the best of it. He struck out ten men and kept the hits scattered. He had splendid support, however Williams, the left flelder saving the game by a wonderful run and a lucky stab. The game was lost to Ligonier in the first inning by some very loose playing. The side should have been retired with a goose egg, but they were not headed off until two runs had crossed the plate, Two bad errors by the visitors presented the locals witha run in this inning. The rest of the game was a flne ex hibition of good snappy ball. The locals could not see the ball with the usual ability but sharp fielding and lucky stabs spoiled what looked like good prospects for runs. ‘‘His umps” was very. bad at several critical points as he seemed to think that Mr. Smith could not throw anything else but a strike. In the ninth inning he closed the game by calling a man out that was safe at third base, by a yard. Even Gary players admitted that the decision was bad. Ligonier had already got one maa over the plate and would have tied the score, but for the decision.—The score was as follows.

The Pennsylvania’s Record

Figures given out by the Psnnaylvania railroad show that in 1908 and 1909 its various lines carried a total of 299,762,658 passengers on 24,000 miles of track and only one passenger was killed as the result of a train wreck. In 1909 the number of passengers carried by the Pennsylvania was 158,067,115. This is indeed a record of which to be proud. The Peunsylvania has been concidered a model railroad, and this furnishes a new claim to the distinction, it should be remembered that it does not state there was but one fatality oo the lines! but even a 8 it stands, the record is a splendid one. : It shows what may be done when modern safegnards are employed and the railroads are properly m anaged.
