‘The Pullman car trust has long escaped attention, yet the revelations resulting from the c(>xll[>]ain€s made by a couple of Minneapolis young men .have shown that it has been one of the worst of the corporate blood suckers from the publiz. Starting with a capital of $lOO,OOO, it has piled up a '5100,000,000 surplus and during tho last ten years distributed $46,865,848 in dividends to its stock holders. It has 4700 ears in operation and every car nets it an average of $5,000 a year. Perhaps one reason it has escaped investigation is from the honored name and high personal character of its president, Robert T. Lincoln, son of the savior of the Union. But even this honored name ought uot longer to shield extortion. - . Itisonly by curbing these rapacious amussers of enormous wealth « gleaned from the public, that rising unrest can be quieted and the tide of socialism averted. Our boasted era of prosperity has been marred by the " fact that too large a portion of its benefits have gone into the hands of the few. The present.problem is how to provide a more equitable distribu-tion-without destroying incentives to enterprise and energy. Socialism would distribute évenly but not equitablyfl,_. and thus destroy incentive. Our present system distributes neither evenly nor equitably, and therefor discourages honest effort. Whatis needed is law and public sentiment ' that will carb rapacity and reward industry.—South Bend Times. * kR @ kR : E -Grant had his Belknap as Taft has his Ballinger; But Belknap’s slipped outside the breastworks for fear lest the United States senate should piteh him over. Nevertheless Belknapery and Babcockery were largely the cause of the defeat of the republican party in 1874, which gave the Democrats a majority in the house of represeutatives at Washington for the first time after the close of the Civil war. The case is worse now for the Republicans in that their majority in the United States senate is preparing to sustain Ballinger in his brazen determination to remain in the cabinet, or at least to enable him to get out with a thick eoat of white ‘wash.—Harrisburg Star. e : : . . R RR R R The Republicans of the district are to be congratulated that after pergistent demands Judge O. N. Heaton of Fort Wayne has consented to make © the race for congress against Hon, Cyrus Cline. Judge Heaton has been kept before the public for several months by a republican press, but he has steadfastly declined the honor. Senator Beveridge however was able to wield a strong influence, and. npon Lis personal request Judge Heaton at last consented to make the sacrifice. That he will add strength to the re- ~ publican tickets in the several counties in the district must be admitted and it is for this reason, that Senator Beveridge was so saticitous that he accept a place on the ticket in the hope that it would bolster up his falling fortunes. That Judge Heaton has a remote chance of defeating Cy Cline is not considered possible. : - : ®ER® g It is evident that the principal issue in the approaching national cam. . paign will be not between Democrats and Republicans, but between standpatters and progressives. The congressional committee’s plan involves a fight between the two elements of the party which must go on till one side or the other wins. No other result than this is possible. It is said that President Taft looks with fayor on this yrogram. Wae think it quite likely. For whertever he has had a chance to make a political mistake he has made it. So too, his associations have been almost exclusively with the Aldrich-Cannon wing of the party. He himself has defended the tariff law and condemned the insurgents. But the only effect will be still further to alienate the people from him, and so still further to weaken the party. The sitnation is, no doubt, exceedingly embarrassing. But a worse way out could hardly have been chosen. The people are as determined to get business out of politics as they ever were to get slavery out. They agree _with Mr. Pinchot that morality has broken into politics, aud feeling thus they will hardly follow the lead of men who stand for methods which they believe to be inconsistent with the new political faith.—lndianapolis News. e L R eER ; _Senator Beveridge has cut out the work for the republican congressional convention in this district. He made a personal appeal to Judge Heaton of Fort ‘Wayne that he accept the nomination and the Judge has signified his willingness to accept the empty honor. The convention will ratify the-arrangement without any hesitation. Senator Beveridge .is certainly developing into a most arbitary and successful boss. He is the’ whole thing in the party in. Indiana aud he has no hesitancy in fixing things to suit his own purpose and convenience. - ' : : . % % ale x e * The present overshadowing issue in this country has well been stated by Gifford Pinchot. Itis‘“whether there shall be government by money for profit or government by men for human welfare.”” The cleavage is not along party lines, but is determined by individual selfishness. It is a ‘marvel that professional politicians, ambitious to be leaders, are so seltblinded that they can not see on which side the vast majority of the American people will be found when the issue is clearly understood; and moreover that they do not realize that the people are more and more coming to thie understanding.—J. B. Stoll in South Bend Times. - . g : : ol . R gxn : - ~ The Cincinnati Enquirer has taken another test vote, this time in Ohio, - like the one recent]y taken in this state. The balloting shows that the Taft administration .’rfifl the Payne-Aldrig’h tariff law are overwhelmingly unpopular. It further shows that the republican party is blamed for the in_creased cost of liv%xg».: By a vote which stands about two to one it also declared that the political trend favors the democratic party. Doubtless a - sumilar poll taken in other states would produce the same general results as ~ those taken in Indiana and Ohio. . ' -

They Cant Get Away From It The poll taken bv the Cineinanti Enquirer, in which out of 1.500 representative citizens of both parties, nearly 1,200 expressed great satisfaction with Governor Marshall's administration is worrying the republican politicians. A receut letter to the Enquirer by its. regular correspondent says: . _ . “"More than one heart-to-heart conference has been held by the republican campaign managers since the pyblication of the Enquirer poll of Indiana last Sunday. The feature seems to be particnlarly.disturbing is the fine showing made by Governor Marshall,.That it was cause of alarm as_‘well as chagrin is apparant from the way some of the republican leaders are expressing themselvés. :

"The microscope is being applied to the Marshall administration and to the public statements aud speeches the governor has made during the last two years in hopes of finding something on which he can be attacked or belittled. Anything that would change the opinion of the masses regarding him or weaken him as a campaigner would be welcomed by a coterie that i 8 on his trail .* * * Up to the ’hour oJ going to press’ it is not known that the Redublicans have found any loophole in the Marshall armor. They are asserting that the governor hasn’t done anything to make himself popular, but they are admitting, very reluctantly, that he has not put anything over to make himself unpopular.. : »Some of the Republicans are fairly gritting their teeth over the ease with which he has made good. They declare that about all he had to do to make himeelf solid with the masses was to proceed along the line of least resistance, and not to meddle in everything that came up. A comparison was sure to be made then with the administration of a certain Republican governor, mention of whose name does not cause any thril of patriotic pleasure among the members of his party and Marshall’s popularity was established on a firm foundation. -

"Regardless .of how it happened, the Republican managers are conceding that it has happened, and that the governor will have to be dealt with as the leader of his party unless something can be turned up against him. What the Democrats may be able to prerent a united front nnder his leadership.” :

Outside the Breastworks.

What James E. Watson says is not always important. On the contrary much that he says is very unimportant. Butas he was for many years a member of congress and two years a--20 was the Republican nominee for governor and is now the recognized head of the 'regular” or standpat Republicans in the state,some of his utterances may be regarded as signifioant. It is well known that Mr. Watson doesn’t like the democratic partv—and the democratic party doesn’t care—but he likes a certain element in his own party still less. That element is now in control of the state organization and it claims to stand for Vinsurgeney.” In a speech to the Wisconsin Republicans Mr. Watson said that insurgency’’ was worse than the democratic party, and he al so remarked that “the democratic mule of iasurgency should not be grafted onto the republican elephant These things are mentioned merely to show how formidable the split in the republican party is and how bitter the fightbetween the two factions is going to be. »

' " DontKnow What To Do +Weare to have ayother new bridee in Wayne township,’ said Trustee G. M.

I mean that part of the road that goes by the C. G. R Waterbouse farm, home, and gets back to the Brimfield road west of the sinkhole. The G.

Tne old road isn't needed, but what are going to do with it2"—Kendalliville News.

Very Little Interest Felt In Politics

At this time there is no active interest in politics, and it is well. The party nominations for the most part have been miade, but the voters have manifested no particular interest in active political work. 1t is to early, anynow. There is to mnch attention given to narrow partisanship, and to little attention to the broader principles of real interest to the citizenship. It is better for the people to become more interested ina fundamental principles,and then to see to it that the men nominated by their parties stand for those principles and the policies that necessarily spring from them. 'T'he party label is not altogather a safe guide, for neither Democracy or Republicanism hasacopyright on virtue, and each of these great orgamizations have human weaknesses that are atfected by selfishness and gréed. The voters are the final judges. and itls well for them to Kkeep their judgements clear for correct flnal decigsion.—Sullivan Demoecrat.

U. B. Notes

We must compliment the young people for the attendance and inter est last Sunday evening. Keepitup! Next Sunday will be communion service and we hope to see every membpber present. Make a little sacrifice and make this a good day. We expect to make this an old fashioned service beginning with a love feast. We do hope every member. of the men’s class will make arrangements to be present one week from Sunday. don’t let anything keep you away as that is rally day for the men and we waut every member present. Be sure and come, rain or snow, sunstiine or cloudy. -Rev. Miner, of Indiana Village, kindly came to the pastor’s assistance and preached the funeral of Mr. Chidister.

Looking After Postmasters

Increases have been granted to postmasters in the state of Indiana to the extent of $13,400 annually, and decreases were announced to the extent of $BOO. Postmaster General Frank M. Hitchcock is also the national chairman of the Republican party and he is a standpatter and friend of the Taft administration. As such, he is hostile to Beveridge, and used his influence with the president to discredit the senator by withholding his appointments to postmasterships, Itis a well known ruling that no postmaster can take part in a political campaign in any form, contribute to the finantial aid of any party or display ‘‘pernicious activity.” butitis not to be supposed that the little boost in salary will serve as a political narcotic. — Columbia City Post. .

'~ The moving picture has become a national institution It is now the ordinary people’'s theates. In the entire county there are 1410 regular theaters, with a seating capacity of 1,369,600, playing to a daily audience of about 785,000. There are 10,000 motion pictures theaters, with a seating capacity of about 3,000,000 and a daily attendance of not less tnan 2, 225.000 the year round. How important, then, that these picture shows be rightly directed! They constitute a great educational force. Natural history, social conditions, scenery, mechanicfiinventions and achievements canyall be elucidated by means of the moving pictures.

Howe-Brown On Saturday June 18th at 3 P. M.

at the home of the groom’s parents on South Cavin Street, Mr. Lee J. Howe, recently of this city and well known to all our people but now of South Bend, and Laura N. Brown, recently of Pierceton but now of South Bend, were joined in marriage by the Rev. Chas. E White, pastor of the M. K. Church of this eity. The wedding was a most. happy culmivation of an acquaintances and friendship which these most excellent young people formed since they met in South Bend where for some time they have been engaged in business.

The ceremony which blended their lives into one channel was brief and impressive and was sealed with the use of thering. The groom wore the conventional black. and appeared dignified and manly, the bride was handsomely attired and with the bridal roses which she carried, she stood at the altar of their betrothal inqueenly beauty. Only the immediate relatives and friends of these yourng people were in attendance to witness the ceremony and to extend congratulations, but all of this was well done. The bride and groom were liberally remembered by their friends in the presentation of some very useful and handsome presents, and a number of telegrams were received to congratulate and to wish them a pleasant journey. A most excellent luncheon was served in the spacious dining room of this well equipped home, and with mirth and pleasure the minutes sped away. Mr.and Mrs. .. J. Hows took their leave of us going to FKremont, Mr. Howe's birthplace, and after a short visit they will be at home to all their friends in South Bend where a fine suite of rooms has been furnisied and is waiting for fihem. ’ ***

Special Announcement

The Ligonier Medical Society met Tuesday night, June 218 t and decided that it had become necessary that a slight advance be made in the fees charged both for office service and city calls. These fees wili be arranged and ‘scheduled and be posted in the several offices of the members of this organization. It was also decided that a list of those who were in arrears and who failed to make arrangements to settle their ac counts, after proper notice should be made out bi-monthly by each number and reported to the society. All such lists being used to complete a ‘‘blue book,’’ a copy of which is to be placed in the hands of each physician to be. used by him as a reference it having been determined that no physician will treat such patient uutil they have arranged to settle with their former physician. All emergency cases being an exception to this rule. ' v It was further decided that each member of the society should issue statements bi-monthly to those of their patients who were in arrears, as follows: January, March, May, July, etc, ete. W. A. SHOBE, Pres. W. M. THOMPSON, Sect. FRrRED R. Crarp . BESSIE A. VAN DE VENTER M. C. VAN DE VENTER F. W. BrLAack - : + The Jew a Good Citizen. ' The oppression of the Jew in the Christion countries of Europe is an old story, but it is happily dying out by siow degrees. It has existed in them all, without exception. Itis a woeful blot on Christion charity. No other ages of the world present anything so dreadfnl. It was caused by a religious and race hate without precedent and without cause. In Asia the Jew was never treated in this barbarous way, only in the Christion countries of Europe. We all now deplore it deeply. and want to confess it and make amends for it. We have here more Jews than there are in Jerusalem.

And, on the whole, they have been good citizens. They vote for good government and not merely for party. —Leslies Weekly. -

Excellent Sense Has He.

A St. Louis philanthropist is disposing of a fortune of three or four million dollars, reserving for himself a modest annuity of $3OOO a year to live upon. There's a man who, dying happy, will leave happiness behind him. He can see his money obeyiug his wishes, he is releived of the burdon of it, he knows itis going where he wants it to go and doing what he wants it to do. A top of this he knows that having given while he was alive to see to giving, there will be no post-mortem row abouthis estate. Isthat what Andrew Carnegie had in mind when he started in to give himself broke and has so signally failed to do so? — Fort Wayne Sentinel,

Protect the Garden Snskes

In time it is believee that the majority of snakes that are native td this country will be regarded in true light, not as objects which should be trampied underfoot, but ‘aB aids to the farmer and vegetable grower. The snake of the harmless and garden variety preys on mice, rodents and various other:-small fry that yearly work an almost inestimable damage to the grain, and vegetable growers of the country. Perhaps every one of us has seen some lad chasing a snake, or has chased one himself. The snake nota harmful thing. was a distinct asset to the countryside. Yet because of an inherited dislike it was trampled under heel. Thisis a matter in which the farmer and, in fact, all who are interested in the soil should interest themselves. It is a matter on which it is useless to hope four legislation, yet it is worth a certain amount of agitation for the simple reason that students of the matter have demonstrated the value of.garden snakes to
