No person can charge President Roosevelt with trying to dodgj live issues and new national responsibilities. Labor organizations are beginning to learn that they lose nothing by calmly abiding the action of the law and by offers of arbitration. The elections in Ohio indicate that W. J. Bryan is not politically dead. He evidently has more influence than all bis opponents comtmed. A defensive alliance of most of the trades unions of the country, with a membersnip of millions of men, is under consideration. . If it is consum mated it will constitute the biggest trust the world ever saw. A new weekly paper called the Saturday Herald was started in South Bend last Saturday and tne South Bend Tribune thinks it will be a success. A city of 40,000 inhabitants ought to have one weekly newspaper. J.udge William L. Penileld, of Aubtrn, now solicitor for the state department at Washington, seems tobe fairly launched on a distinguished diplomatic career. He will represent the eleven non-allied powers at The Hague convention to ccnsider the Venezuelan claims. In the United States senate which will meet next December the democrats will have only six members from n jrthern states two each from Colorado and Montana and one each from ""Idaho and Nevada. And these are xeally populists chosen by a combination of free sliver men of alfpartles. Carter Harrison's political career is virtually ended. He has been elected mayor of Chicago four times, but his pluralities have constantly decreased. His hrzt plurality was 79,000, his second 41,000, his third 25,000 and his fourth is a little over 6.500. The star of the man of destiny is almost obscured. The Wabash strike was averted by a slight advance of wages which the railroad company could we1! afford this year, but there may come a time when the railroad will lose money and will nave to reduce wages. It will be well if at that time the labor unions are sensible enough to submit to a reduction and avoid a strike. President Roosevelt believes that other things besides pure politics enter into good citizenship, and he is enforcing some of these things in his trips through the country. He reasons, and rightly, that men who think wisely, who act justly, who plan considerately, who live rightly, are better patriots, better politicians, better citizens. Frank Buchanan, president ,of an International trade union, came all the way from New York to Chicago to urge the federation of labor to prepare for 4 'one gigantic strike of organized labor throughout the country against the combinations of capital." The man who sawed off the ilmb on which he sat between himself and the trunk of the tree was wise compared w.th Mr. Frank Buchanan. After four months of controversy . tetween the employes of the Wabash railroad and the officers of that system, during which a strike was iminent and was prevented only by a temporary injunction dissolved last Wednesday, restraining the employes from vacating their positions, the differences were finally adjusted and the controversy effectually and satisfactorily settled Saturday evening.' : At the close of business Saturday there was locked op In the vaults of the United States treasury $640,755,873 In gold. This Is the largest gold reserve ever held by any nation in the history of the world. It Is the extreme limit reached by this country; which has made a point of piling up gold in its treasury. Based upon the treasury department's estimate of ' a population of 80,142,000, it represents nearly IS per capita: Arthur R. Pennell, generally credited with having been the murderer of Edwin L. Burdick, was a defaulter to the extent of $150,000 to $200,000 at the time his automobile carried him t j death over a precipice, according to late developments : regarding his estate. He robbed his friends of money they had intrustedto him for investment. Incidentally It is shown that he had been planning suicide for two years and that he provided for giving Mrs. Burdick twenty-five thousand dollare out of his life insurance policies after his death. Many of the rich and influential people of the large citi?s, men and women, seem to? be utterly devoid of pnncipl Ivt I

All labjr engaged in transportation in Holland is on strike, and anybody that wants to go any place in that country must walk. However, it Isn't a large country, and it Is hardly possible to take a be fore-breakfast constitutional there without running up

against a frontier custom house. A woman suffrage lecturer has been telling her Chicago audiences that girls do nothing but talk about clothes and men, and that they should turn their minds to more vital schemes. But what is more vital than man? Look at Mr. Roosevelt, for instance. Goodness gracious! what does the womaa want? Indianapolis Journal. Senator Foraker of Ohio, while at Nashville, Tenn., last week, gave it as his opinion that President Roosevelt would succeed himself and that a western man, probably Senator Beveridge of Indiana would be the vice president. He said of Senator Beveridge: "He is a brilliant and capable man, and would add much strength to the ticket." But Indiana wants to reelect Beveridge to the senate, Sena tor Foraker should be reminded, and the junior senator is not believed to have any vice-presidential aspirations. Commissioners Should Go Slow. Throughout Ohio and Indiana now regarded as the great interurban district of the world events are transpiriDg which make it incumbent on county commissioners to be very care ful about granting franchises. There is a rivalry for franchises, which gives ample reason for the be lief that there is some great purpose in view that will ultimately make these roads of great value to the com panies controlling them. That pur pose Is only known to those who are promoting the various franchise seekers. It, therefore, needs no argument for everybody to know that persons asking a fianchlse when they do not possess money enough to build a dozen rods of electric road, are seeking a franchise simply for the purpose of selling it, and may use the franchise to the great detriment of the people of the county. It will not be long until Marshall county will have interurban lines of great value if the commissioners are honest and discreet in working for the interests of the people, otherwise we may lose valuable lines which other sections will gain. No "snide" company should be given possession of the field. There are good reasons for believing that such men have a franchise prepared which the commissionerf will be asked to grant at this session or their next session. The people should see to it that no company gets a franchise without giving a bond for the construction of the road which they propose to build. The people of Marshall county do not want to pay for any grafts" and they will not have to do so if they are alert and look after their interests. The Anti-Ggarctte Bill. The Indianopolis Independent declares that the Sentinel is the shameless tool of the to'.'acco trust in Indiana, but it says it is rather mean of the Sentinel not to give some credit in the following article to its pal and fellow servant of the trust, Senator Wood, of Lafayette, because without bis aid as chairman of the committee on puolic morals would not have been so easy. 'The article reproduced from the Sentinel is as follows: Former Senator A. O. Baker, of Marion, attorney for the tobacco trust, was in the city of yesterday. Mr. Baker camped in Indianapolis for two months while the legislature was in seuiou but he has been giving this city a wide berth since then. As attorney for the tobacco trust Mr. Baker was one of the prominent members of the third house, and he did most effective work for bis employers at times. . , The senate stole a march on him one day, however, and for a few hours he was a busy man until he satisfied himself be bad laid to rest, the bill that caused his fears by. a little judicious talking to the various men on whom he relied to dispose of offending measures. The occasion ' when Mr. Baker was almost put to rout was when Senator Parks suddenly called up his anti-cigarette bill after it had lain in the bands of the committee on morals for nearly the whole session and secured a favorable report on the measure. Few of the senators bad any real sympathy for the bill, but they passed it to second reading just to have a little fun with the men who were fighting it. - The measure was never called up again, however, and Mr. Baker settled back to his pleasant occupation of pressing the soft cushions of the seats in the legislative chambers while he watched proceedings with a calm and peaceful air. ' Senator Parks informs us that the bill was not called up again for the reason that an order was made to have the bill printed, and being the last week of the sessionrhe was unable to get the bill f rod the printer. Cird cf Thir.Ks. The .surviving children of. Mrs. Mary A; Richards wish to thank the many neighbors and friends who rendered great assistance and showed much kindness and sympathy during the long illness of their mother. Those friends will never be forgotten. A lazy liver makes a lazy man. Burdock Blood Bitters is the natural, never failing remedy for a lazy liver.

.The Wr on Pauperism. . No part ot the report of the Board

of State Charities is more important than that devoted to the policy of what is officially known as the 'outdoor poor" In distinction from those who are supported In poorhouses. The subject is important because the future of pauperism may be said to be entirely in the policy pursued by township trustees and others having to do with the poor who may need public assistance from time to time. The statistics presented prove be yond doubt that the status of pauper ism, so far as outdoor poor are con cerned, depends upon the course pur sued by those who have charge of the relief. Last year one person in fortyeight, according to the census of 1900, was helped by the township trustees. In Washington county but one person in 173 received aid last year; in Scott countv one in 122, in Dubois one in 103, in Harrison one in 101, in Hamil ton one in ninety-seven, and so on. On the other hand, in Knox county, one person In nineteen of the popula tion, and in Bartholomew, one person in twenty-one was assisted. Why this marked difference? Both the last named counties possess the means of getting a living in as high, if not a higher degree than most of the counties in the first list. Washington is not a rich county, but the contrary, yet in respect to pauperism it stands at tbe head of the list for absence of it. Why is it? Simplv because a sentiment prevails that being the object of public charity involves a stigma. So the poor struggle on, maintaining their owu independence and self-re!pect, even in poverty. Such poor are much better people than if they had lived easier by receiving public charity at the expense cf their self-respect and pride. Bartholomew is one of the very best counties in the state. Naturally, it should not have a large number of very poor people. Nevertheless, it aids eight poor people where Washington county aids one. To what influences is this wide difference due? Chiefly to the practice of furnishing aid to applicants for outdoor assistance, when if trustees and other officers were strict, they would be refused. When it is known that a family is assisted, others in the same condition apply and are helped. So many are helped that, instead of public assistance .being a stigma, it comes tobe regarded in the light of a privilege. Once Jon the list, once under the stigma of being a public charge, few cease to be persistent beggars for aid. Indianapolis Journal. Roosevelt Lauds Rough Sport. While in Chicago, President Roosevelt, in a speech to the students of the Northwestern University, spoke, in part, as follows: "We need all the training for mind that can be given. We need all the training for body that can be .given' I welcome every form of rough, vigorous, athletic sports Some ofthe cheering this morning made me feel as if I was looking at a football game "I welcome all forms of manly, vigorous, rough exercise. The best kind of work that - can be done is such as is done by your life-saving crew here. But all universities can not be placed beside a lake, where there is a chance for a crew. They are going to do the best they can with the nine and the eleven. Now, it is a great thing to have a safe, and a strong, and a vigorous body. It is a better thing to have a sage, a strong, and a vigorous mind. But, best of all, Is to have that which is partly made up of both, and partly made up of something higher and better, character. That is what counts, and the main good that can be done to vou after all in a university such as this Is to give you what 1 am certain universities do give character, a fine and high type of citizenship. That is what we must strive to produce In our universities. ' Physical' strength? Yes. Mental strength? Yes, even more than physical. But, above all, let us strive to develop that for the lack of which neither bodily prowess nor mental capacity can atone, the quality of the soul, of the heart, the qualities of strength, of courage, of sweetness, which we group together when we say that a man or woman has character." The Annihilation of Distance. - How much nearer the nations of the world seem to be today than was the case a few decades ago. "When weeks and-months were required for communications between . the United States and Europe the countries of the old world appeared to be a long way off. Now the circumstance of old earth is belted with telegraph and cable lines in every possible direction. What happens today In Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South 'America and the great ' islands of the sea is made known to us almost as soon as events that happen within a mile of home. , , , Governor and Pardons. Governor Durbin is expected to appoint a state board of (pardons in a few days, under an act passed by the last legislature. He now refuses to take up applications for pardon or parole, but will turn them over to the beard to be appointed.

Mrs. Teegarden, has occupied the old home place along with one of her sons since the death of her husband, several years ago. She was about 75 years of age, and had many friends and acquaintances in Marshall county. Verdict Against a Boycott. A Vermont jury has given a verdict awarding $2,500 damages to a local manufacturing company which sued a labor union for injury to the company's business caused by a strike and boycott. The boycott was accompanied by the usual methods of picketing, intimidating, inducing local grocers not to sell the company's products, etc. As a result the company's business fell off from $139,000 during the first five months of 1902, before the strike was declared, to $41,000 during the last seven months of the year. As many members of the union own real estate, it is thought there will be no trouble collecting the judgment.
