Proposed Labor Party. , The labor unions of the country generally do not take kindly to the movement started in Chicago to organize a separate political party among the working men of the country. It is right that the unions should not separate themselves from the old political organizations, at least not start an exclusive one of their own as nothing will be gained for their cause thereby. Organized labor is in a better position now to get recognition from the old parties and get what legislation it desires for the benefit of labor than by going off into any political tangent of its own. The republican party, if the record of the past 50 years is carefully looked up, will be found to have done more for the cause of labor than any other political organization in the land. Republican principles are all on the side of labor Jand republican leaders are better friends to labor than can be found in the ranks of democracy, populism, socialism, or any other political crowd. Senator Ilanna, of Ohio, much as he has been abused, is a true friend to labor as his words and his deeds show,and it is quite certain that labor has a no friend more staunch or true than Senator Fairbanks, of this state and President Roosevelt has declared himself unequivocally in favor of organized labor, and of protecting labor In all its rights. It is quite clear that the laboring men of this country can get more fayors and have obtained more favors through the medium of the reliable old republican party than through any other source. South Bend Tribune. Arbor and Bird Day. Mr. Frank Jones, state superintendent of schools, has just issued an arbor and bird day annual prepared by Mr. W. II.

The annual describes some of the good, nativa shade trees, and tells the story of some of the historic trees, among them the constitutional elm at Corydon, Ind. No Reason (or Democratic Success. When congress adjourned the senate stood: Republicans, 55; democrats and other opposition, 33. In the house the division stood: Republicans, 199; democrats and other opposition, 152; vacancies, 6. In reviewing the situation and the reapportionments made necessary increasing the house membership from 357 to 386. the Chicago Inter Ocean says: 'Experience has shown that in "off years" the opposition has slightly better chance to gain control of the house. The democrats will doubtless gain districts here and there. So will the republicans. The question is which will make the larger gains, and whether the democratic gams will be enough to give them a majority in the house. "There is really no reason why the democrats should control the next house. That party has been able to find no issue and no leader that seems likely to change the opinions of any great number of voters or to remove public distrust of the democracy.

Oftia 90 Big Increase in Deaths; Typhoid fever existed in all except si-c counties of Indiana in August, according to reports made by health officers to the state board of health. Deaths occurred in sixty-two counties. In July there were eight-three deaths from typhoid, while in August there were 16" deaths an increase of 101 per cent. The reports show a marked decjease in the number of cases of smallpox since July. The total deaths in August numbered 3,15$ a death rate of 14.8, while in the corresponding month last year there were 2,932 deaths a rate of 13.7 per cent. August gives the highest death rate for diarrhoeal diseases yet reported, there being 530 deaths from this cause, about one-sixth of all the deaths in the state. The state board of health thinks the increase in typhoid fever and diarrhoeal diseases is probably due to the heavy rainfall, which washed pollution into open wells and springs.
