The issues are already made, and they are iesues concerzing which there need be no democratic dlvisions, no democratic doubt. — New York World. : : : R R B3R . _ The recent interview with Governor Marshall printed in the New York World and reproduced throughout the country has attracted very marked and favorable attention in all quarters. It-is conceded that nothing better or more to the point has been said in many years. Without a waste of words Governor Marshall showed how good government may be had and only how it may be had. One influential paper in commenting on he in terview said; -‘We learn from Governor Marshall that we shall continue to have unrest untill we bhave public officials who acknowledge allegiance to nothing but the c¢onstitution, and people who are not satisfled with any -any other kind.” And then it adds; ‘‘No true citizen can question the vitality of these propositions, and, indeed their acceptance by the people is becoming daily more convincing.” j.%@ ® R R The Republicans have the somewhat complicated job of explaining to the farmers that the tariff and the repnblican politics cause the high prices of good products and to the people in the towns and cities and at the mines that neither the tariff nor the republican party has anything to do with the high prices. As a matter of fact, the Republicans in their new tariff bill . have reduced the duties on agricultural products, 25 per cent on beef, 25 per cent on pork. Yet the prices of these things have increased. 'l‘he talk of protection to the farmer is a sham. He needs no protection because we do not import the things he makes. But the tariff forces him to pay higher prices than he ought to pay for bis agricultural impliments manufactured in-America and sold to him at higher prices than they are sent abroad and sold for to his competitors in Canada. Russia and- Europe. He} gets no reduction on his boots and shoes; he pays more on the stockings he \ buys for his women, the sugar he uses in his household, and on the woolen goods he requires.—Roanoke Times. 7 ‘ | : ®xR wRe : i Some of our republican contemporaries don’t like the ‘‘attack’ uapon the supreme court of the state that they profess to see in the series of articles that have recently taken considerable space in the colums of the Indianapolis News. The editorial comment made by the News has also been taken as a severe criticism and arrangement of the court that has been solidly republican for many years. The News'shows pretty conclusively that the couft has been very kiud to the corporate interests of the state and that their decisions have nullified laws that were intended to protect em-- - ployes and the public. Corpocation attorneys should not be norminated by. either party as candidates for judge of any court and only men of high character, above corporation influences, should be elected to the supreme court. : ' . %R dxae : " ' The talk about protecting the American laboring men from the cheap labor of Europe is insufferable rot. The cheap labor of Europe is imported into this country and is given the places of Americans in the mills and * mines of the nation. The American laboring man is driven into open competition with the cheap !abor of Europe by its being brought here for the express purpose of getting his job. Then it is voted in bunches, like it was in Gary in 1908, to keep a party in power that raises the tariff so that the ~ manufacturer who employs them is enabled to keep out European-made goods and force.the American laborer he drove from a job by the cheap imported labor to pay more for his necessities of life. Will some standp att paper tell us where the American laboring man gets any protection under this system?— Indianapolis Sun (Insurgent Republican) - : *% ® se» _ _Thomas F. Bresnehan, city editor of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette died suddenly last Saturday morning at the age of 39. Tom Bresnehan as everybody knew him, was for more than twenty years a well known news- - paper man at Fort Wayne. He took a prominent part in the rve-organiza-tion and regeneration of the Fort Wayne Journal. A forceful writerand a hard worker he added much to the interest and high standing of his newspaper. He was a splendid fellow, a born] gentleman and a true friend. The men who knew Tom Bresnehan-best loved him best. His untimely death is a distinet loss to his home city, to the Journal-Gazette and to journalism generally. - : : - . L ERe g ; Two years ago when the campaign was on, Thos. R. Marshall, then the democratic candidate for governor, criticised Governor Hanly for leaving the state to take care of itself while he made speeches. Another campai%n is at hand and they are already talking of the speeches the Governor will make. It is a whole lot easier to criticise than to live np to what we would have the other fellows do.—Avilla News. i : o - . The News tries to make a point all because Governor Marshall proposes to take ahand in the coming campaign. Nobody ever questioned Hauly's right to make campaign speeches in the state or anywhere else, but he was justly criticised for neglecting public business-to travel over the country delivering Chautanqua speeches at so much per, and at the same time draw his salary as a public official. Governor Marshall has given his whole time to public business, has refused flattering offers from lecture organizations and will carry out his promise, that if elected, he would serve the P%héimfihw a lecture bureau, e
4 Mr. Marshail’s Views. Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana has expressed himself recently upon the politicai ills of the present, and has pointed out remedies for their correction, which shounld go far to strengthen democracy’s status in the nation’s eyes and to win for the lndiana statesman desérved recognition and respect. Speaking entirely from the point of view of one whose belief in the power and jndgement of the people is unshakable, whose insistence upon the maintenance of the constitution in all its parts is almost a religion, and whose knowledge of "political machines’’ is absolutely of the kindergarten variety, Governor Marshall bolds that two things are essential to calm our troubled political waters today. : - First, said He, we must return to the ancient ideals of the republic as to the powers and duties of public officials. And,elucidating this, he explains that they must be kept strictly within the specified limitations of their constitutional powers. We have no hesitation in stating that few thoughtful. sober-minded men will differ from Governor Marshall herein. Less than two years ago, under distinguished precedent, or ratherunder the leadership of a distinguished statesman, it was the fashion to flout and belittle the constitution, to refer to it as “old fashioned and out of date.” and to demand new legislation to reach its various alleged ehortcomings. The undertaking, how. ever, proved abortive, although for a time there seemed a great danger of a diminishing respect for our organic written law. The sober second sense of the A'merican people saved the day and Governor Marshall's words are the more welcomre because of this fact. To the converted radical as well as to the man of sane thought his admonition will ecarry equal weight.
His second canon of belief i 8 equally forcefnl and acceptable. Itis:The conscience of the people of this country. must be awakened to the fact that there is no place this side of Tophet where a man can afford to let his indiqvidualgreed stand in the way of the continuance of the republic. Reducing these two rtatesmanlike utterances to their real meaning. we learn from Governor Marshall that weshall continue to have unrest until we have public officials who aeknowledge allegiance to nothing but the constitution, and people who are not satiefied with any other kind. No true citizen can question the validity of these propositions, and, indeed, their acceptance by the people is becoming daily more convineing. That the Payne-Aldrich tariff law could escape the criticism of the govenor in his discussion of political *ills”’ is not to be:imagined, and his views on that measure are certainly incisive. The greatest admission of its weakness, he pointed ont, was the president’s defense of the bill before the people. And Mr. Taft's confession that *‘the bill was the best we could get, although not just what we wanted’’ appealed to Governor Marshall’s sense or humor as something inexpressively ludicrous. If it was not what we wanted, why didewe get it, asks he; and who was it would not let us have the best there is and just what we wanted instead of [the best we could get? To the demoralized and sorely stricken republicans responsible for this bill, we refer Governor Marshall's Socratian riddles. While “pointing with pride” in the coming campaign to their unenviable record, they will answer the governor doubtless. The democrats should see that his queries are propcuuded at every republican rally, and if they do, they will gain vortes. - A tariff for revenue only is the one platform necessary to mark plainly the division between ‘‘privilege’ or aristocracy, and popular rights or democracy. On this aligment the governor believes the political battles of the future will be fought, all believing in the protective principle rally,i.ng to the republicans, and all others going over to the democrats. We have been doctoring symptoms too long: the time has come to reach the source of our'troubles, and that is ‘special privilege, a tariff product. While Governor Marshall can ex pound political doctrines thus constructively and convinciogly democracy’s cause is not lost.—New York Financial America.
The Younger Men in the Senate.
When Governor Sanders takes his gseat in the United States genate next winter he will be the youngest member in -that body, as he is now only 41 years old, but he will find there a company of very able men, scarcely older than himself. Thos. P, Gore, the blind senator of Oklahoma, who is one of the strongest men on the Democratic side, is under 45, while Burkett of Nebraska, still uuder 43, has been five years in the senate and he served three full terms in the house. Dixonof Moutana and Guggenheim of Colorado, men of much less ability. are 42. Senator Beveridge, now 48, was only 36 when elected to the senate, and Senator Bailey, now 47, was 39 when he was sent to the senate after ten years of service in the house. Borahis 45, Brandagee 46, Smoot is 48, Jones of Washington is 47, and Brown, of Nebraska, is the same age.—Evansville Courier. ‘How County Option Works Judging by the large amount of the popular Kamm & Schellinger bever age shipped from here each day. there must be & lot of awfully dry people residing 1n Elkhart county, This morning ,the iaterurban bag‘gage car was unable to accept all the ‘cases and barrels offered for ship‘ment.—Mishawaka Euterprise- :
: Was Popular Here. “John Somerlot, first baseman fpxl Terre Haute, sold to W'ublngconi Americans.”” When the news was gent out last week there was 8 measure of surprise throughout Central League circles ‘and in southern and southwestern Indiava, where Somerlotia well known. Those overcome by astonishment'where the folk who bad not geen the big fellow in action lately., Those. who have been watching his work with the Tots understood. . There were many faus last summer who implored Manager “Cuappy” Grooschow of Terre Haute to affix a can to Somerlot. For the greatest part of the season the first” baseman certainly did not look any too promising, and were it hinted that at least two big league clubs would be hot after him & year latér—and one of them the world's ehampions—some one,would bave been the victitn of the old-fashioned horse laugh.
Somerlet’s batting fell off fearfully and he seemed extremely awkward in the field, especially in view of the fact that the circuit possessed halt a dozen very classy first sackers, including Kihm, Tarleton Salm, Bade Myers, Guy Swartling and Alva Spangler. He tried to get up speed on the sacks, but at times his showing was pitiful, and he was nabbed time and again. Many suggested that Somerlot be played in the garden if not on the bench.
It's a vear later now and Pittsburg has been trying to buy John Somerlot, the Tots’ rejuvenated first baseman, who looks a world different from tne Somerlot of 1909 While the Pirates were debating about the price, Dick Padden, who has unearthed such players as Cy Morgan, the Athletic’ brilliant piteher, dropped into Terre Haute one day recently; and next season, if plans do not go amiss’ big John will be holding down bag No. 1 for the Washingtons, ° :
Making Matters Worse
After two years of ostensible drought, Worcester among several other Bay state cities, have voted “wet”, and a statician with a taste for somewhat original and pictureesque iliustration, has computed how “dry’ Worcester was during the period of ‘‘abstinenee’’ in question. : He finds that the quantity of alcoholic beverages shipped into the place for the .twenty-four months wasg enough *‘to float a squadron composed oi a battleship, a gunboat and a submarine.”” Also,'‘that for such legal shipments the people of Worcester paid nearly amillion dollars. More than two million gallons of beer and ale and more than one hundred thousand gallons of whiskey arrived, to say nothing of receipts via nnderground channels,”” - Worcester’s experience is simply in live with that of other large communities in which the ‘*dry,”’ experiment has been tried, and there is a moralin it for even the most sincere of those who would impose prohibition on such communities. Itisthat the imposition tends to make matters worse. This is trde as bearing the cause of real temperance, the pockets of the tax-payers and the evil of evading or defying the law. — Richmond News Leader.
Extreme Heat or Cold?
Which causes the more intense suffering, extreme heat or cold? The answer to this question depends largely on the season, of course, and the temperature one is . enduaring at the time, but just now, at least, a good many will be disposed to say heat. At all events 1t is mcre difficult to escape from. Save in exceptional cases, it is possible to find warmth without traveling a great distance; there is fire in every house, and in emergency fires can be built out of doors. But from such weather as we have been experiencing recently there is no escape, unless traveling farther than the majority of people can afford to go. People do not go mad from cold and attempt suicide as they do from heat. Fewer deaths are heard of as a result of cold. Oa,the whole, the weight of evidence just now is against heat as the more objectionable of the twe evtremes.—lndianapolis Star.
Not Bad Wheat Country
C. G. Waterhouse was in the Daily Sun office this, morning and said: “I see the farmers are talking about their big yields of wheat, Well Ican doa little talking along that line mysélf. I have just heard from two of my farms, and one gave a yvield of thirty-five bushels to the acre and the otner thirty bushels to the acre. I've got ten more farms to hear from, and will propably have something more to say when I get the reports. 1t looks asthough I had ’em all beaten.’’—Kendallville Sun.
Noble County Gets It's Share.
Although the county option law has operated to close 989 saloons in the state, and the most of these have been closed since Jan. 1,1909, the consumption of whiskey, according to federal government reports for the Indianapolis district for the, fiscal year ending July 1, has increased, while the: consumption of beer has remained about the same 1n comparison with the preceding year. :

: ~ Plain Facts. . l It may blssnnmed that most Republican state conventions will commend and endorse the present higbl tariff and the trust theory of protection. They will tell the people that the country was never 80 vrosperous as it is now. and the workingmen that the tariff gives them work at remunerative wages and that high tariffs are enacted primarily for their benefit. That is what the beneficiaries of high tariffs always tell them;, and the party that uow governs the country is committed to the perpetuation of that fallacy. We wish to call the attention of the workingmen to something whichk perhaps has not been told them in exactly this way: - There is no labor schedule in any tariff law.
Let the workingmen examine the tariff laws. and they will fiud that every schedule is for the benefit of the manufacturer or the prodacer. Let them study what are by courtesy calied "'tariff hearings’ and they will not discover that the tariff makers ask them what wages they think they should receive. Occasionally, it is true, somebody who is supposed to represent labor appears before the committee in charge of a tariff bill to tell that committee what should be done in the matter. of ’protecting” a certain commodity. But they go to Washington in the interest of the manufacturer, and not in the interest of labor. : .
No protectionist will say directly that high prices protect workingmen. The absurdity of such a statement would be apparent to every one .of them. But the high tariffite says it indirectly when he tells workingmen that high tariffs protect them. High tariffs means prices higher than they oughtto be. Thatis dn absolute fact, and is go stated by the National Association of Manufacturers.
Here are two plain facts, without au "if’’ or a "but.” Let workingsnen study them and ascertain for themselves, by their own researches and reasoning, whether or not they are irue.—Harrisburg Star-Indepen-dent.
Responsibility.
The Allen couuty judge who permitted little Charles Coates to go back to Farmer Richer after learning how this flend had abused the child, holds a heavy responsibility for the unfortunate boy’s fate. It would seem that when it wes shown that the man had actually mutilated the child with his teeth his total unfitness for the care of any fellow being would ‘have been sufficiently demonstrated. This horrible case shows the importance and necessity of outside supervision being kept over children given out for adoption. Some individual or some Bociety was very remmiss in regard to this lad.—lndianapelis Star. How about the preacher of the gospel who told the judge that ; Richer was all right and that he was a proper person to have care of the child? How about the prominent farmers and neighbors who testified to the fellow’s good character and used their influence to have the judge return the boy to Richer? How about the neighbors who for months allowed this terrible affair to disgrace their neighborhood? It would seem from this distancs that the judge was the least to blame. ;
U. B. Notes
The pastor and family have returned and expecting every member to returo and be in Sunday school and preaching service next Sunday. These hot Sundays people are apt to sitat home or hunt a shady place hoping tg keep cool and forget to come to church or think it to warm. Now we have good fans and good ventilation, and you can keep cool at the U. B. church as any where else. Try it next Sunday and if it don’t work tell the pastor about it. August 9, 10, and 11, the KElkhart district Y. P.C. E. N. and Sunday school convention will be held at Claypocel Ind. A good program has been arranged and these district conventions are largely attended. ; Four weeks from next Wednesday will be the commencing of the anuual conference. This means thatrefinancses must be paid in and all all ports fllled out complete. We hope to see a full attendance next Sunday morning .in Sunday school in the preaching service both morning and evening. Come to the young people’s meeting at 6:45. Miss Edith Robinson will be the leader, and she wants every member present. -

Itseems to be the general opinion that I conceived and organized the Ligonier Medical Society, bus the fact is that I was the last local physician to know of it and went into the organization orly after repeated urging,pecause of the fact that I know it ‘wonld injure my practice to join it. It seems also generally beleived that I formulated the offersive resolution published in the papers. This also is uutrue as any one who will read 1t carefnlly can see, as it is calculated to injure my practice, in thatit will prevent me from getting patients that I otherwise might get and T have no bills to collect. ~ W.
