The democratic candidate for conpress in Speaker Heed's district in Meine has written a letter in which he expressed the opinion that the Standard Oil Company has been beneficial to the country. The action of Chicago Catholic organization in expressing confidence in the intelligence and fairness of President Roosevelt was wise from any point of view, and particularly from that of the welfare of the church. The King of Sweden threw off his coat the other day and assisted in rescuing twenty-three persons from drowning. lie is the kind of King that would have thrown off his crown had he happened to have it cn at the time. The reply of Secretary F.oot to the complaint of Miss Taylor that she was dismissed from the government service without due cause is a denial of the complaint and a statement that his action is not reviewable by any court. Eight hundred of Senator Hanna's employes presented him with a goldheaded cane the othar day as an evidence of their esteem. A good many men have engaged in the popular amusement of denouncing Senator Hanna, the labor-crusher, who have never been presented with any evi dences of the affection of those who have worked for them. Democratic papers are making the statement that W. J. Bryan is now one of the wealthiest citizens of Nebraska. His Commoner it is reported nets him $25,000 a year and he earns easily 10,000 a year on the lecture platform, besides his income from real estate and personal property valued at 8200,000. Six years ago he was worth less than 81,000. "What better proof does anybody need of republican prosperity. In 1896 and 1900 the republican party raised the battle cry, "McKinley and Prosperity!" Now it raises the battle cry, "Roosevelt and Prosperity!". There are other great is sues associated with Mr. Roosevelt's policies, but this issue of prosperity comes home to every man's pocket; comes home to the farm and the work shop; to the investor, the manufacturer and the wage-earner as .veil as to the millionaire. The state organ of the Indiana democracy, the Indianapolis Sentinel, is defending the Indianapolis banks from the aggressions of a republican tax board. "The banks," says the Sentinel, "should bear their full proportion of taxes, but no more, and if they are already doing this, should not be asked or compelled to do more. " The Sentinel is never more engaging than when pleading the cause of the weak and helpless. The persons who are engaged in reorganizing the democratic party with Bryanism eliminated, notably the able opportunists who dictated the Indiana platform, lose sight of the well known scientific fact that if one chops off the tail of a mule two inches from the end, the mule is not the stub end of the caudal appendage which remains in the hands of the amputator,but that part of the animal which remains on the majority side of the division. The United States is now entertaining a po&sible emperor. lie is Prince Chen, of China, a cousin to the occupant of the throne and may some day be at the head of the Chinese government. He came without any flourish of trumpets and is now in New York, lie is the first member of the royal family of China to visit this country, and is said to be a bright handsome man apparently anxious to get acquainted with American ways a d to learn all he can about this cooaty. A few months ago the cor.ntry was rather anxious over the derails of a declaration that all the trunk railroad lines were to be pat under such management that there be no competition m rates. If that was ever the purDose of the managers it has . been abandoned as the leading western lines are now engaged in a tremendous rate-cutting affray. The great western made a heavy cut on - cattle and dressed meat rates, and the Santa Fe retorts by cutting rates in the middle, all of which goos to sustain the statement made by some of the managers a few years ago that the roads could not keep their agreements with each other, thus rendering a pooling arrangement necessary in order to remove the temptation to en2ge in rate-cutting.

The Elkhart Daily Review celebrated its thirtieth birthday Tuesday. It is the oldest daily paper in this part of the state, It has always been ably edited, and has always stood for the best interests of the city and county in which it is published.

Oliver Wendall IIolmes,the new justice of the supreme court ot the United States who takes the place of Justice Gray, resigned, is a son of the celebrated poet and essayist of the same name. He is a veteran of the civil war, a man of great learning and has a thorough knowledge of law having been on the Massachusetts supreme bench almost twenty years, and is now chief justice of the supreme court Qf the United States. There are democrats who argue that it would be manifestly disadvanta geous to the democratic party to yet control of the luuse, in view of the fact that nothing could be accomplished on account of the senate being so strongly republican. This class of democrats argue that the chances of electing a democratic president and a democratic congress would be vastly improved by the republicans having things practically their own way for the next two vears. The death of Senator McMillan, of Michigan, was a great shock to the people of that state and to the leading men of the nation, coming as it did when he was supposed to be in perfect health. As a conciliator of conflicting interests in his own state and in the natiou his place will be hard to fill. lie was wealthy but he was always willing to aid every good cause. His well known benevolence made him popular with the masses. He gave of his riches most generously and un grudgingly. Educational and benev olent institutions received thousands upon thousands of dollars from him. The worthy poor never appealed to him in vain. To young men, begin ners in business undertakings, he was very helpful. He started out a poor boy, worked his way to the front, prospered to an eminent degree, and gave of his means freely to every en terprise that he deemed worthy of en couragement. "Stand In the Day of Battle." Booker T. "Washington, in an ad dress to a gathering of young negroes in Atlanta on Saturday, gave an illus tration of the manner in which suc cess is won which many young white men might. well apply to themselves. "If a young man goes from college to start life as a farmer," he said, "I want to see him cultivate tLat element in his nature that will make him start in a furrow behind a plow bare footed and bare headed, without coat, without money, almost without food but stand there until he has wrung a competency out of the earth." In these days when fortunes are made rapidly and seemingly without effurt the great danger to the average young man is that he may fall into the delusion that permanent success may be won otherwise than by persist ent hard work. It is the greatest cf delusions, and the end of him wno yields to it is always disappointment and misery. Of course there always have been and always will be "Coal Oil Johnnies" but unless their fortunes represent hard work they always vanish. A bold speculator may achieve wealth in a day, but upon inyestigation it will be found that his fortune, if perman ent, has its foundation in past years unremitting toil. Now and then a man may become rich almost by chance, but the power to keep can be added to the power to get only by hard work. St. Paul spoke advisedly when he declared that the way to salvation was to "stand in the day of battle, and having done all, to stand, Inter Ocean. Bryan on the President In this week's issue of his paper Mr. Bryan indulges in criticisms of President Roosevelt that are a total misfit. Bryan not only misconceives the character of the - president, but imputes to his words a meaning not there. In his recent speech at "West Point the president said: "A good soldier must not only be willing to fight; he must be anxious to fight. do not want to have anything to do with him if he is not." Bryan de nounces this remark as blood thirsty and imperialistic and an evidence in the speaker of shocking moral deformity. But the president's meaning is perfectly clear to any one who does not exist in an atmosphere of fantastic political fallacies. As long as wars are found to be necessary the president belives in the aggressive military leader, ne would choose the type of Grant and Sheridan in preference to that of McClellan and Halleck. In dealing with the problems of the civil war President Lincoln who is not held to have been blood thirsty or morally deformed, reached the same conclusion with the merciful result, that the conflict was soon ended, Does Bryan consider StonewallJackson a general whose career was blood thirsty and" marked by moral deformity? Jackson was . a soldier who, in the language of President Roosevelt, was "not only willing to fight, but anxious to fight. St. Louis. Globe-

Senator Hanna's Speech. We suppose there are few people

who any longer doubt the honesty of Senator Hanna's interest in the labor question. He has been brutally caricatured and denounced as the oppress or and enslaver of the workingman, and this in spite of the fact that he was known to have lived on the friendliest terms with the men who worked for him. But gradually men have enme to see him in his true character, and it is now known that, whatever his faults, hostility to labor is not one of them. No one therefore will be surprised at his speech before a Chauta lqua assembly in Ohio, cn the question of "Labor and its Relation to Capital." No new theories were advanced, and probably it might be shown that the speech contains little that is helpful in a directly practical way. But the spirit of it is altogether admirable. And one point at least is made that should interest the an-. thracite operators. Senator Hanna declared that the question was not political, and indeed that it was not solely economic, but that it was moral as well. He insisted that "the best way to reach men's minds and men's hearts is to appeal first to the heart and then with the mind." This is not the method of the Pennsylvania operators. They pay no attention either to hear: or mind, and refuse to reason at all Their method is brute force and nothing else. But Senator Hanna holds other views. Naturally he had some thing to say of the national civil fed eration and its works. He said: "In every instance but one in a tsn months' life we have settled every labor difficulty that has come to us, This one instance where the organiza tion failed was the anthracite coal strike. I admit that the civil federa tion has failed in its efforts there. It is hard to conciliate, it is hard to arbitrate a question when only one side will consider it." Of course, there could be no conciliation or arbitration in Pennsylvania, for the employers declared that there was nothing to arbitrate, that the men must surrender; that the strike must be crushed. As Senator Hanna says, "it is hard to arbitrate a question when only one side will consider It." As the speaker said, the fault is not with the civil federation, but with the mine operators, But the senator went further and showed how comparatively easy it is to get along with labor unions if there is onlv an honest effort to do so. There is no trouble now with the bituminous coal miners. Employers and employes seem to find little difficulty in agreeing on a wage scale. Four vears ago OD o an interstate association was formed, composed of both operator and operatives, and a scale of wages was agreed on "flexible enough to adapt itself to different physical conditions. A con tract was made, and it has been faithfully kept by both parties to it. The miners delivered the coal, as they had agreed to, and the operators sold it at the price determined upon. The contract has been renewed each year since, and as Senator Hanna says "peace and harmony, good and successful business operations have succeeded that policy." It was objected that the miners' union would not keep its contract. But it has done so, and the senator reminded his hearers that it had recently refused to violate its contract, although the temptation to do so" was great. Indianapolis News. A New Trades School. Mew York's school board has announced the opening, next month, oi a city trades school for women as part of the public school system. It is called a trades and commercial high school, since it includes mental as well as manual training. The plan is threefold, contemplating a four ye irs' classical or scientific course, a two years' business course and a two years' trades course. In the latter will be taught millinery, dressmaking, applied art, printing, library economy and manual industiles by which last term is meant such light work as bookbinding, paper-box making and and other work suited to the physique of women. The experiment has awakened interest, for it is to go a step further in the direction taken by manual training schools. Fixed Scale of Wages. C. "W. Past, who is well known as a wealthy manufacturer, of Battle Creek, Mich. , makes a good suggestion in an open letter to the public through the newspapers of that city, that all labor unions, all employers of labor, capitalists and all others interested get together and sign an agreement fixing the scale of wages for all kinds of labor for a definite period. In this way Mr. Post believes all misunderstandings, all uncertainty and all liability, cf strikes will be avoided An iron clad contract should be drawn up whereby all parties concerned shall be bound toccrtaia conditions, then there will be no trouble. The inventor can estimate accurately wht a Building enterprise will cost, a extractor can know exactly what his work will amount to and the laborer and workman of every class can be sure of the wa-res he will receive.

CATHOLIC STATE MEETING

Indiana State Council Catholic Benevo lent Legion Assembles In Plymouth. At 7:30 Tuesday morning the mem bers of Our Lady Lorretto Council C. B. L., of this city went to the hotels and escorted the delegates of the Indiana State Council Benevol ent Legion to St. Michael's church, where Rev. Father Moench celebrated high mass, which was followed by a sermon by Rev. A. B. Oechtering, of Mishawaka. The business meeting was called to order at 9 a. m., by Vice President Terrence W. Cunningham, of Kentland, who presides in the absence of President Williams, of Union City. Mavor Jones delivered an address of welcome to the delegates which was responded to in an eloquent address by Supreme Orator Patrick Keefe, of Kentland. Then the regular work of the legion began and was continured during the day and evening. The delegates in attendance were: Samuel Buchanan and John C. Pierce, Huntington: W. S. Margowski, Delphi; Thomas McGee, V. A. Sallot, J. N. Stein, Fort "Wayne; John Lahy, Michigan City; James O'Day, Muncie: Peter McArdle, Monroeville; August DeGrote, Mishawaka; Anthony Geraghty, Elkhart and Voght, Laporte. The State Council of the Catholic Benevolent Legion completed its work Tuesday evening after a very harmonious session, during which much work for the good of the order was accomplished. Oflicers for the ensuing year were chosen as follows: Spiritual director, Very Rev. A. B. Oechtering of Mishawaka: chancellor, John W. W. Williams Union City, president, James E. llanes, Plymouth; vice president. Terrence W. Cunningham Kentland: secretary, John Langen Tipton; treasurer, W. S. Margowski Delphi; orator A. Gaharty Elkhart; marshal, August DeGroote Mishawaka; guard, John F. Lahey Michigan City. Thomas Flinn of Kokorao, J. C. Pierce of Delphi and G. A. Sallot of Fort Wayne, were chosen trustees for the ensuing year. The supper given the delegates and distinguished visitors by the council of this city was fully appreciated and the occasion was one that will be long remembered. The installation of officers, a fine musical program, toasts, speeches, etc., closed the exercises. The supper served by the ladies of St. Michael's congregation in St. Joseph's hall was well patronized and everybody was happy. The election of James E. Hanes as president of the state council is appreciated by ever citizen of Plymouth. Mr. Hanes has the respect of all creeds, sects and parties in this city. The great success of the meeting is due to the committee on reception of which Augustine Carabin was chairman and of the committee on entertainment composed of Prosper A. Ball and James A. Hanes. Aged Priest Badly Hurt. The Rev. Father Lucas, aged seventy-four, chaplain of the Catholic Hospital at Lafayette, lies at Holy Family Hospital in Laporte in a serious condition as the result of injuries received while in a Lake Shore caboose. He was standing in the aisle, having taken passage on the local freight to go to Otis, when some cars were "kicked" into the caboose, The venerable priest was thrown against the seats, his head being badly injured, but his recovery is expected. Will Abandon the Missouri. Beaten in its efforts to control the treacherous stream the United States is about to abandon the Missouri river to its fate and giv6 it upas a means of transportation. Railroads have grabbed the freight, and steamboat business has dwindled until it is evident congress thinks the expense of dredging shifting sand bars, pulling snags and trying to hold the restless river in a fixed channel is not justfied by the volume of business and will surrender. , Will Make Glass Coffins. , I The Kaffield Glass Company, of Matthews, Ind., is contemplating the manufacture of bottles, fruit jars and even glass coffins from its new malleable glass, which has been patent d recently and used as material for the manufacture of lamp chimneys. This statement is given on the authority or J. H. Murphy, a representative of the company.

Frank Swope Kills Himself. Frank Swope, a brother of n. B.

Swope of Linkville, one of Berrien county's best known officials and a deputy sheriff, committed suicide Sunday, by shooting at his home inBaroda, Mini. He was about tbe house during the morning as usual and had showed no signs of oeing despondent. About 11 a. ra., he walked into the sitting room to join his wife and two children. Without a word of warning he stepped to the center of the room, drew a revolver from his pocket, placed it to .his left side and fired. He fell dead at the feet of the prostrated wife. No reason can be assigned for his act except that he has been in iM health. Killed at Millersburg. Frank Reid, aged twenty-eight, was killed at Millersburg, Elkhart county, late Saturday afternoon, while trying to make a balloon ascension. The parachute became entangled with guy ropes. The aeronaut was carried thirty feet into the air. The poles which had supported the balloon fell, hurling Reid to the earth. He died in a few minutes, with an ugly wound in the forehead. lie was a member of tr.e Reid Balloon Ascension Associa tion and Amusement Company, and lived at Marion, to which place the bodv was taken for interment. There was a large harvest jubilee at Millersburg, and the ascension was ta have been the feature. Reid had been an aeronaut twelve years, and was recentlv married. Hanna On "Labor and Capital." In the course of a strong address on "Labor and Capital," made at Chau tauqua, Y., Saturday, Senator Hanna urged the sharing of profits and advo cated a closer relation between the working man and his employer. Among other things Mr. Hanna said: "From what I know of human nature, every man has an approachable spot, and the best way to reach that spot is by kindness. You can reach men by coming near them and learning their conditions. To say that labor leaders are in the wrong is not always true; to say that the majority of them do not intend to do right is a mistake. My theory is that if you bring men together in a way to make them know each other, and If you appeal to the head and heart, you establish a bond between the two factions that cannot be broken. By establishing a condition of absolute confidence between employer and employe is the only way that I know to settle the dispute between capital and labor. "We must give laborers a larger share of the profits of industry which they helped to create. We must forget there is any difference between the man who labors with his hands and the man who labors with his brain. It is a fact that more than 50 per cent of the strikes in this country have been settled in favor of the laborers. We must concede then, that they are right in the majority of cases, and that capital is wrong. "I believe that the labor leaders are just as honest, just as earnest, and just as competent fb discuss and act upon', these great questions as are the capitalists. Give them credit for this and you will form a trust which will need no constitutional amendment; a trust in each other. You cannot separate the interests of capital and labor. When you talk about organized capital in this country forming monopolies you talk nonsense. There is no monopoly in this country, except such as are protected by patents, There is a great deal said from a demagogic standpoint against organized capital. In this twentieth century the evolution from individualism to organization is perfectly natural, This evolution has led up to great changes in the methods of production andf distribution. Invention's which threatened the hand laborer have been made in all lines of industry, but they have been turned to the -Ibenefit inf v stead of the destruction of such labor. Invention is the natural sequence of education. . "Organized capital is just as necessary to get the proper condition of Industry as" organized laoor. The organization of capital has come to stay just as organized labor has come to stay, and for the same reason it is necessary. You cannot separate the interests of capital and labor. If it is good for one to be organized for any purpose it is good for the other for the same reasons. They are Doth good and necessary as applied to our conditions today and our development for the future. The combination of capital has brought to cur industrial institutions greater economic results; it has brought an increase in trade and higher wages to the laborer." A hew More Days.

Monster In Koontz's Lake. The Walkerton Independent publishes a story of a monster that has been seen several times-during the past four years in Koontz's lake west of Walkerton, and says: "On Wednesday Samuel Koontz and others pursued the animal in boats but it was a swift swimmer and would dive out of sight before the party could get a good, square view of it. But they saw enough cf it toyknow that it was of monstrous size. A portion of its body was exposed and what they saw was at least 12 feet long. They could not see , the ;head. The animal was seen in the small .lake near the mill race, but it evidently keeps in deep water most of the time aiid for that reason is rarely seen. The lake in some parts is Tery deep, in fact bot
