M. Slayter. Secetary, Frank W Boss, Chairman The treasurer's office of Cook county, in Chicago, is evidently under exceedingly careless and bad management. Receipts amounting to thousands of dollars have been issued from that office in the alleged payment of taxes without a dollar actually going into the treasury. The taxes of the big Masonic Temple, amounting to over $26,000, were 'settled", in this manner. An investigation is now in progress, and the probat ilities are that some of the rascals implicated in this bold villainy will get behind the bars.

By imposing a tax upon all corpor

ations doing business in the state of New York a comparatively small amount of state taxes is now assessed and collected from the people. The Cuban "patriots" have already commenced to show their teeth. A movement has been inaugurated to impeach President jPalma. What his offense may be hasnot yet been made public. The populists of Illinois have nomi nated a state ticket and adopted a platform in which the republican party is denounced as an "open enemy without any attempt to conceal its purpose," while the democratic party is declared to be "without principle except to get office." 4 David Bennet Hill is now supreme autocrat in the democratic party of New York state. But what doth it profit him? There is no chance for success of his party in state or nation. His position is like being commander ot a ship that has neither engine, masts, sail or rudder. He is simply a monarch of a wreck. The English papers in discussing President Roosevelt's recent utterances regarding trusts pronounce them temperate and logical. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "He is too wise to ignore the fact that the tendency of commerce is in the direction of a concentration of forces and that this force needs guidance and not blind opposi tion." Justice Shiras, of the United States supreme court, who has just arrived in Pittsburg from a long vacation spent along the northern shores of Lake Superior, refuses to discuss his reported retirement from the bench further than to say that President Roosevelt would be the first person to learn of it and that he had not re ceived the announcement yet. The statement of the census bureau that the illiterates are 6 per cent, of the population of cities and 13 per cent, of the rural population well may be questioned until it is recalled that a very large per cent, of the rural population of the south which has few cities, is unable to read. It is not possible that the rural population of states like Indiana contains a larger per centage of illiterates than the cities. President Roosevelt has lifted the discussion of trusts above the plane of party and put it on the plane of social, industrial and economical de velopment. The bane of the present effort to control these new phases of modern industry is the partisan or class turn that is given to all ques tions affecting the various grades of society as relates to material wealth. When we can reason upon such ques tions without this tincture of dema gogy the solution of difficulties will be compressed. It is not certain that Senator M. A. Ilanna will be able to take part in the Indiana campaign and the officers at the headquarters of the republican state committee say there is no definite arrangement as to when he will be here if he comes. At a meeting of the republican state committee it was decided to invite Senator Ilanna here and subsequently Chairman Goodrich called on the senator at his office in Cleveland. Mr. Ilanna said he would be glad to take part in tbe Indiana campaign and would do so if possible. Governor Odell is now engaged in talking to New York farmers at county fairs. He has made some excellent speeches, indicating that he is a man of research as well as judgment. A sample of his talk is embodied in the following: "Agriculture is the basis of prosperity and therefore its encouragement and protection is a function of the state. Capital is the. result of labor- Its combination in the most complete and concrete form therefore it should be accorded no rights which are not vouchsafed to the individual and to him who labors. These truths are' not mere platitudes, but inherent principles of government. A case in court reveals the fact that the heat from Mont Pelee is a source of damage to vessels passing the Island of Martinique. The Italian bark Anna, on her voyage from St. Lucia to Philadelphia, passed near Martinque, where Mont Pelee is still in a state of intermittent eruption, and it is claimed that either the heat from the volcano, or the high temperature of the water, due to olcanic activity, had a decidedly damaging effect en the vessel and its cargo. Not only was the hull of the Anna greatly rusted, so that '. the paint fell off in great patches, but when the cargo of sugar was discharged at Philadeldhia it was also found that 500 bags of the raw material has been converted into molasses, apparently by the heat. Suit was brought against the insurance company for the loss of the sugar. The loss - resulting from volcanic action raises a new point in law, and the court must determine whether or not volcanoes are to be classed as perils of the sea.

There is no argument or sense in

personally abusing opposition candidates and it only results favorably to the . candidates thus assailed. An experience of many years has confirm ed us in this conclusion. If there are acts in connection with a candidate's official duties that prove him unfit for the office which he seeks it is the duty of the newspaper to present the facts. It is right and just that the public should know something about the men who ask their support and about the means used to secure nominations. But men honestly differ in their political views as they have a right to thus differ. If we think our neighbor Is wrong we should appeal to his reason and if possible convince him of his error, but not accuse him of being dishonest because he does not see as we do. Women Want to Vote. An effort is being made by the W. C. T. U. of the state to bring such pressure to bear upon the next legislature that a bill will be enacted giv ing women tbe right to vote. To convince the members of tte assembly that this will be a popular measure the unions In a. number of coun ties in this part of the state are now getting signatures to petitions." No Pcl.tics in Roosevelt's Visit It is authoritatively announced that there is to be no politics in connection with the visit of President Roosevelt to Indiana in September. Republicans in some of the cities and towns at which the president will stop have asked the state committee to furnish political speakers te entertain the crowd after the departure of the president's train. This, the state committee has announced, it will not do. It is understood to be the desire of the president that his trip shall be non partisan, and his wishes will be respected. Big Helplor Striking Miners. The Indiana miners of the bituminous field, 8,000 in number, have sent $50,000 so far to the Pennsylvania miners since the call for money aid was issued bv the national convention on July 15. At the outset the state officials gave a lump sum and many locals contributed from their local fund, which they were not asked to do. The payment of the $1 a week assessment, as called for, has been made with great heartiness, and evervwhere the miners sav that if more is needed to win the strike they will provide it. In addition to money from miners much has been raised among merchants iu the mining districts and mine bosses and superintendents, while perhaps a few operators "on the quiet" have contributed. Earthquake in the Philippines. Information has been received at the war department from Gen. Chaffee at Manila that a series of earthquakes had taken place on the island of Mindanao; Twenty persons were killed by falling walls, the victims all being Moros. Tbe Americans in the vicinity escaped, and the dispatch says there were no reports that any of the soldiers occupying that portion of the island sustained any injuries. The upheaval occurred in the country adjacent to the Lake of Lanao, in the Moro section of the island, near Camp Vickers, which is now the headquarters of the American forces stationed in Mindanao. Gen. Chaffee's cablegram' says the mountains and rivers and other streams were considerably disturbed, and much damage was done. The Party That Does. While the republican party does something and raises hell, the democratic party raises hell and does nothing. Illinois Populist Platform of 1902. The Illinois populists appear to have approximated a great and abiding truth, albeit their language, in expressing it, is neither eloquent nor parliamentary. For more than a generation the democratic party has scolded continually at what the republican party has done. Yet, whenever given an opportunity to do the same things better, the democratic party has done nothing, or worse than nothing. At the same time the republican party, as those who would destroy both republicanism and democracy admit, has done deeds in the affairs of the nation. And the condition of the nation today is the final test as the wisdom of those deeds as a whole. Inter Ocean. The Teachers Institute. The teachers' institute which closed Friday was largely attended and a good interest was manifested at all the sessions. The instructors were good and the discussions of the various subjects showed that Marshall county teachers are well informed and alive to the importance of their positions as educators of the rising generation. No finer looking body of teachers can be found in any county in Indiana, and their bearing and deportmant on the streets has won favorable comments from visitors and citizens alike. Marshall county Is proud of its teachers.

The President's Speeches. The speeches which the president is making through New England are exciting much comment. The speeches are not partisan, but they are vigorously political. The president justifies what the party has done, and outlines policies for it in the futurepolicies which he pledges himself to further to the full extent of his power. It is not surprising that what he says should arouse interest abroad. We have two comments on the speeches from Germany. One paper, in considering the president's discussion of the trust problem, says that "Germany, indeed all Europe, must be on its guard." While still another paper says; American arrogance is directed not only against Germany, but against all Europe. This arrogance is the outgrowth of the puritantical belief in the United States' God-given mission and its own invulnerable position. We do not quite see the relevancy of these remarks. Suney there is nothing in what the president has said about trusts that need excite any apprehension abroad. The German paper that sees danger from this source must have expected that Mr. Roosevelt would declare himself in

favor of the extirpation of trusts. There was no reason to expect anything of this kind. Nor is theie any reason why the president should consider the question from the point of view of the welfare of foreign countries. The problem is purely domestic. Yet if the president means anything at all he means that he would limit and curtail the power of the trusts And if our German triends are as much afraid of trusts as thev seem to be thev should be able to .take some comfort in the presidential utterances on this subject. There is nothing in what Mr. Roosevelt has said on trusts that need excite the least alarm in Germany. Indianapolis News. What George Washington Lacked. Referring to the announcements that have been made in living methods the Nebraska State Journal says: "A discontented editor has been calling upon the people of the country to note that George Washington had no yacht to sail about in when he was tired, and the inference is that it is unconstitutional for presidents to have yachts kept for them, Flowever a Cleveland newspaper has somewhat tempered the indignation of the populace by calling attention to the well kdowu historical fact that that neither did George have a telephone in his back office or a steam heater in his cellar, or plumbing in the house to burst in cold weather, or a typewriter and no daily paper at his front door every morning. Still George might have had a sailing vessel like a schooner or a sloop in which to disport himself on the water, but it might have been awkward for him to use it much. He was liable to be blown out to sea almost any day, and nobody knows where he would have pulled up at last. There was a good many things that George didnt have, especially an automobile and a bicycle. But whatever conveniences were in the market the first president, was accustomed to supply himself, and it is likely that he would have had all these things if he had known about them." A Farmer Boy s Pluck. Daniel Crandall, aged 18. a farmer boy, living near Terre Haute, whose toot had been almost severed bv the blade of a mowing machine, took a hitch-rein from one of his .teams of horses, bound the leg to stop the flow of blood, and with part of the rein adjusted the foot hanging almost at one side in its proper position, after which he unhitched one of the horses, and, climbing on its back, rode two miles to town, where he received surgical treatment. When he saw the great flow of blood he estimated that if he rode home, a mile away, a doctor must be sent for. and that ; would double the time of going and coming. Therefore be rode to town instead, and it was well that he did, for he was about to succumb when the doctor gave him stimulants and made it possible to dress the injured leg. Tan Is Fashionable. It has been the fashion this summer at all the resorts and at country homes for girls to go about bareheaded. The object, of course, is to get a fine coat of tan, and some of them wear short sleeves so that the arms are burned up to the elbows as brown as those of an Italian peasant. Nutbrown maidens look very pretty in white duck skirts and chiffon shirt waists in a hammock, or on a piazza, or sprawled on the lawn, or driving in a dog cart, pr pulling a pair of oars, or swinging a golf club or tennis racket. But next winter, when they see how ugly their brown skin looks against bright tints,- or in a ball dress, they won't be so proud of the color. Neyerthless it won't hurt their health, even if it does spoil their looks for a while. Now is the time to take Rocky Mountain Tea; keeps the whole family well. A great medicine for spring and fall tiredness. 55c. J. W. Iless.

THE DISGRACE OF THE SOUTH

Fearful Results of Its Refusal to Enact Laws Relative to Child Labor. Irene Ashby-Macfayden has contributed to the American Federatlonist a strong article In which she sets forth the conditions prevailing In the Southern states as the result of the refusal oi political leadership in these commonwealths to enact legislation for the protection of labor similar to those in force in . almost every state north of the Mason and Dixon line. When it is remembered that this same political leadership controls nearly a hundred seats in the house of representatives and twenty more in the senate, all of them, practically, joining in and dominating by force of numbers the caucuses of one political party, it will be seen that the sentiment which dictates the refusal of Southern legislatures to wipe out the evils of an industrial feudalism little less oppressive than the system of human slavery. Is one to be reckoned with in national as well as local politics. Miss Macfayden says: "There are American children dragged into the mills when scarcely out of their babyhood, without education, without opportunity, being robbed of health morally and physically, forced to labor as In the days of negro slavery negro children were. With their baby hands these little slaves are undermining the liberties of the future, not only of the cotton operatives of the South, but of the American working people; not only of the working people, but of the community in which they for good or evil are to play so large a part." "The Southern states of America," says Miss Macfayden, "are the only section of the world where the crime of infant labor is permitted, a crime which, if not quickly wiped out, will write Itself large on economic and industrial history, to the everlasting shame of the people of America." Miss Macfayden estimates that 20,000 children under fourteen years of age aie now employed in the textile mills of the South, and that 8.000 of these children are between the ages of six and twelve years" To the horrified visitor the mills appear to be swarming with little children." There being no laws regulating hours of labor, many children are employed at night Miss Macfayden talked with a child not nine years old who at six years old bad been on the night shift eleven months. She stood at 10:30 at night In a cotton mill in Columbia, S. C. "where children who did not know their own ages were working from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m. without a moment for rest or food 'or a single cessation of the maddening racket of the machinery, in an atmosphere unsanitary and clouded with humidity." "The physical, mental and moral effect of these long hours of toil and confinement on the children is indescribably sad." Dropsy and consumption result in hundreds of cases. In Huntsville, Ala., in January a child of eight years lost the index and middle fingers of her right hand, and a child ot seven had lost her thumb a year previously. "In one mill city In the South a doctor told a friend that he had personally amputated more than a hundred babies' fingers mangled In the mill." "No mill children look healthy," Miss Macfayden continues. "Anyone that does by chance, you are sure to find out has but recently begun work. They are characterized by extreme pallor and an aged, worn expression infinitely pitiful and incongruous in a ihild's face. The dull eyes raised by the little cnes Inured to toil before they ever learned to play, shut out by this damnable system of child slavery from liberty and the pursuit of happiness, often to be early robbed of life itself, are not those of a child, but of an imprisoned 5oul, and are filled, it always seems to me, with speechless reproach. There is unfortunately no question as to the physical debasement of the mill child." "In' the fines mill in Columbia, S. C, a magnificent example of splendid enterprise, I found a tiny girl of five years in the spinning room. Her little sunbonnet . had fallen back onto her neck, and her fair hair was covered with the threads that had fallen on her head from the frame as she worked. She was helper to her sister. Neither child knew her age. but a girl Df eight, standing near, told me they were seven and five and worked there ill day long. A beautiful little child Df eight, with hectic flush and great gray eyes, told me she 'hadn't worked but a year.' "All holidays are 'made up in South Carolina, ' A strike occurred at one mill among some organized employes because they were required to, make up Labor Day beforehand. They were locked out and starved;. into submission. "In Alabama the children in the mills are required to work Thanksgiving Day. "In Georgia a child missing Saturdaya short dayloses one-sixth of her week's wages. "Tbe wages paid these children bear out what I have said in regard to child labor keeping wages low. Many toll for 10 cents a day." "Until there Is a law which really keeps the child under twelve out of the factory, economic pressure will drive it in, notwithstanding all the sentimental remedies offered In the place of the one which in every other country has proved effectual."
