The statement or W. Jennings Bry an that the nominations at St. Louis had been brought about by questionable means is not a questionable statement. A little straw comes from Lebanon. 3Io., the old home of Richard P. Bland. A republican mayor was elected there this week by 109, which is more than double the usual majority. "Red"Galvio, the St.Louls newspaper mau who started the exposures of boodling in St. Louis that made Joseph W. Folk the democratic nominee for governor, expired suddenly at St. Joseph, where he was attending the Missouri Republican state convention. Jack" Spencer, of Evansville, William H. Stillwell, of Princeton, and C. J. Kohlmeyer of Columbus are three democrats whose names a' e mentioned in connection with the attorney-generalship nomination in the democratic state convention. It is probable that Attorney-General Miller's opponent will be chosen from the trio. ' Tba South Bend Times thiaks it strange that a democrat in Marshall county and a democrat, in Laporte county should make the same remark about Parker's certain defeat in November, but if the Times editor will travel over St. Joseph county and keep his ears open he will no doubt hear more than a hundred democrats say ing substantially the same thing. Western Canada, an exchange states, is boasting loudly about its wonderful wheat crop and its general prosperity It is but a few years since this great area' was opened for settlement, but people are now pouring into it at the rate of 100,000 a year, 50,000 of whom are Americans. This year they expect to harvest 80,000,000 bushels and claim the yield will be 25 bushels to the acre. The government has been offering many inducements to settlers. Thomas Taggirt was chairman of the democratic state committee in 1894 and on t,he. eve of the election that year be sent telegrams all over the country, predicting that the democrats would sweep - Indiana by a whooping big plurality and would gain at least three or four members of Congress. When the votes' were counted the biggest republican landslide the state has ever known was recorded and we dad elected every one of the thirteen members of Congress la the State. The same Cleveland wing was running the democratic party In that campaign that is in control cow. All things considered, it looks ls if Taggart 's friends haT3 been nticj hi a a trlfis tljt

The unamity with which Taggart,

of Indiana, was accepted for the Chair manshlp is an indication of the forlomness of the hope. . The Japanese have-not only taken New Chwang, but they evldentlv have their eyes on a few more things in the neighborhood that they want. All life is a mystery. Is joy not as great a mystery as sorrow? And is life not as incomprehensible as death? The things we like are never thought of as mysteries, the things we dislike we desire to fathom. We should like to ask those who think that Tom, Taggart is going to swing the Floosier state into the democratic column, what they imagine one Charles Fairbanks will be doing while the act Is being performed. Democratic papers are " quoting McCle Han's repudiation of a part of the platform on .which he ran for president in 1864 as a defense of Parker's course. McClellan was beaten in. the electoral college by 216 to 21 which is also suggestive. The republican plurality In Indiana in 1896 was 18,181, says the Indianapolis News. In 1900 the republican plurality was 2(5,489. In 1902, which was not a presidential vear, the republican plurality for secretary of state was 35.264. J. Frank Flanly, republican candi date for governor of Indiana, is planning for an aggressive campaign. lie has been for years regarded as one of the most effective political speakers of Indiana. Several other candidates on the state ticket are orators of more than ordinary ability. C. E. Cartor a leading democrat and prominent labor man of Logansport, announces that he will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. He says the democratic platform and its candidates are not in harmony with his views. Mr. Carter was the democratic candidate for mayor of Logansport in 1898. The name or Hon. Otis L. Ballou of LaGrange will be presehted before the democratic convention in Indianapolis as a candidate for governor and it is said the entire Twelfth district delegation will vote for him. Henry C. Colerlck of Fort Wayne, has declared war on the gubernatorial candidacy of William C. Cullop of Vincennes. Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell rendered a decision in Washington Thursday that while the general spirit and purpose of the Constitution is applicable to the Panama Canal zone, that domaiD is not a part of the United States, and therefore the Presikent and the commission will control affiairs until Congress prescribes some other course. People who are figuring on the presidential election should not lose sight of the fact that the' electoral college now consists of 476 votes as against 447 in 1900. This means an increase of 21 votes. New York, Illinois and Texas each gain . three votes; Minnesota, New Jersey and Pcnnslyvania each two; . fourteen other states gain each one vote. The states that voted for Bryan gained a total of nine votes; the McKinley states 20. The total vote of the electoral college will be 476; necessary to elect 239. While the president in bis re spone to the committee which notified him of his nomination by the republican national convention promises" to ; discuss "more at length and in detail" the issues of the campaign and some future day, he does not fall to take full advantage of- the divided condition of the democracy and to call attention to the fact that it appeals for confidence on the, ground that it may be trusted "to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because of which it asks that the administration itself be driven from power." Neither Theodore Roosevelt nor Alton B. Parker is a rich man, though both are in comfortable financial circumstances. As to the vice-presidential candidates it may. be said that both Fairbanks and Davis started out as poor boys, both have been" singularly fortunate In accumulating property. . Both are millionaires, Davis largely in the lead. Fairbanks isn't anywhere near as rich as h3 was before he engaged in poll tied and became a United States senator. Davis quit politics 15 or 20 years tgo and made more money; Fairbanks quit business and exchanged much of hi3 wealth for glory. South Bend limes.

The Indiana democratic managers at Indianapolis are considerably emharassed fcon account of the.diffculty experienced in constructing a platform broad enough for all factions of the party to stand on and yet strong enough not to sag too muchunder the weight it will have to carry. President -Roosevelt was formally notified of his nomination for the presidency by a committee of 125 from everv state and territory in the Union.. The simple ceremonies took place it Sagamore. Hill, the notification address being delivered by Speaker Cannon. The president in bis address of acceptance sums up the issues of the campaign and defends the Panama canal negotiations. Tbe effect of Tom Taggart's selection as chairman of the national committee will be that Indiana will witness an exceptionally lively and vigorous campaign. But this need not be expected to be one-sided. The Republicans will simply put on'a little more steam than they would have done had the national chairman of the democrats been selected from some other locality. So, after all, the outcome of the, November election will depend upon the trend of public sentiment. Should this be in favor of the democrats, Parker will be likely to carry the state; if in favor of the republicans. Roosevelt will be the beneficiary. South Bend Times. Archibald Grimke in an article in the Atlantic magazine on the disfranchisement of the negro in the South says: "So far as the negro is concerned, then, to disfranchise him will not settle the negro question. It will do anything else better than that. For it will make trouble, and no end of it. It will certainly make trouble if he rise in the human scale in spite of the wrong done him.' Does any one think that he will ever cease to strive for the restoration of his rights as an American citizen, and all of his rights, if he rise in character, property and intelligence? To think the contrary is to think an absurdity. But if he fall in the human scale in consequence of the wrong done him he will surely drag the South down with him. For he and the South are bound, the one to the other, by a ligament as vital as that which bound together for good or bad, . lor life or death, the Siamese twins." Roosevelt's Acceptance Speech. The point which Mr. Roosevelt most emphasizes, and properly so, in his speech of acceptance is the agreement of the republican party as to essentials and its consequent ability to govern and the internal dissension of the democratic party and its consequent incapacity to unite upon a coherent policy and govern efficiently. It is undeniably true, as he. says, that the Republican party has already laid down and pursued certain great lines of public policy, to which it "is giving a united and therefore efficient support," and this gives assurance that it will continue on those lines and still govern efficiently. Everybody knows where the party stands and can rely upon its acting in harmony with the doctrines it proclaims. Not so with the democratic party. As Mr. Roosevelt points out, democrats now appeal for support on the ground that if intrusted with power they maybe trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they have laid down as vital and leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because , of which they ask that the administration itself be driven from power," ; That is why Mr. . Roosevelt will have the support of the' conservative, sober-minded democrats in 1904, as Mr McKinley bad in 1896 and 1900, and in greatly increased numbers. Men who disapprove of some republican doctrines and measures ajid who favor some rational measures' of reform will no longer seek to gain their laudable ends through a party which Is thoroughly destitute of . coherency and is thoroughly and dangerously bad, in its personal ingredients and in its prevailing tendencies,--Cblcago Chronicle.

. Lived Most ot Lite in Prison. Benton Long has paid the full penalty of the law by dying inside the walls of the penitentiary at Columbus Ö. The penitentiary has practically been his home all of his life, and while he was out he was a menace to every person who owned a horse and wagon of anykind. He has completed his eighth term behind the walls, and every one of them was for horse-stealing. He served five from Deiewarev one from Butler, one from Licking, and the last from Franklin county. When he was on trial he made an address In i his own interest, and claimed to be a minister, liwyer and physician. He wa3 70 . years old at sthe time of hi3 death.

An Anntversvy. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Osborne entertained Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Thompsun, Miss Olive Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Willey, Mr. and Mrs. A R. Underwood and Mr; and Mrs. Thomas McDonald .Tuesday. A number of friends and relatives called in the afternoon, among them being Mrs. Jane Mosher and Miss Flora Morris. July 26th, being the anniversary of the arrival of the Thompson family upon the banks of Maxinkuckee, they have established a custom of visiting the lake and old homestead at that time. Mr. Ösborne, Mr. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Wiley spent the forenoon in driving alon the lake front. Many pleasant as well as painful incidents of early life werebrough;. to mind. They returned with sharpened appetites to join the others in doing justice to the bounteous dinner prepared by Mrs. Osoom. A very different scene greeted the weary pilgrims sixty-eight years ago. Instead of covered carriages laden with produce for the summer visitors that now line the lake, statuesque Indians peered from behind the poplars. Instead of the reveille the song of trie mosquito, the hiss of the rattle snake and the howl of the wolf .was beard, from the marshland since converted Into the grounds of the Military Academy. Instead of the white winged cutter and commodious Steamers Of today, only the Iudiun's log canoe rippled the surface of this, the most beautiful of lakes. Culver Citizen.

Reciprocity With Canada. A movement is on foot to promote reciprocal trade relations with Canada which shows much vigor. Heretofore it has been New England which chiefly desired freerer commercial dealings with that country, but now the most urgent demand comes from the northwestern states. Northwestern Canada, or as it is commonly called, British Columbia, is rapidly becoming a great wheat-growing region, and the dealers and miliers of the Dakotas and Minnesota see the desirability of having free access to the crop Wheat is a competitive product, to be sure, but they are willing to have a mutual remission of duties, because they foresee the time when they may wish to export their own crops and products to Europe oyer Canadian railways Cattle raising is also a great industry in Canada, and much the same conditions exist in regard to cattle as to wheat. Whatever may be said as to the merits of free trade as a general proposition, it is plain that the development of. both Canada and our own northern states 'will be hastened and their general interests advanced if closer commercial relations are established. Their geographical situation is such that more liberal tariff arrangements are really essential. Indianapolis Star. ' Mr. laggart's Appointment, The selection of Mr. Taggart as chairman of the national democratic committee settles a controversy that was In danger of developing unpleasant party friction, and puts matters in shape for the opening of the campaign. Mr; Taggart has yet to prove his ability to handle what is known as "large politics" and to grasp the conditions incident to a national campaign, his experience having heretofore been entirely local, but members of his party who should be able to judge Mr. Kern, for Instance have entire confidence in him. His selection means, of course, that a tremendous effort will now be made to carry Indiana for the democracy; it means, also, that republicans will be required to give greater ' attention to this state than they might otherwise have considered necessary. As a consequence, whatever mav be the case elsewhere the campaign will be lively in Indiana. As has happened so often before, the state will be a .'battleground on which every point will be fiercely contested and every energy exerted on both sides. It is likely to be a pretty ' tight, as such things go, and people who like politics for the sake of the game, are sure to be well entertained Indian-, a polls Star. ' - i i i i i L . Nothing But the Truth, People who give malicious falsehoods to newspaper reporters "for fun" or to get derogatory personal reports started are up against .a T serious proposition. The last legislature passed a law making such lying a criminal offense and providing fine and imprisonment lor violators. Newspapers are bound by law to respect people's right-and character, but the responsibility does not end there. Newspapers obtain virtually all of their information from the people police, judges, lawyers, ministers, merchants, manufacturers and others of high and low degree. Reporters are required by the 7ery nature of their honest, honorable and influential calling to mingle with all classes from the very best to the very worst. The rcsponssbillty resting upon them is great. But it is no greater than on people whs willfully - give reporters falc;hood3 for news.

How They Got Their Start. Grover Cleveland helped his family before he was sixteen by working in a country store. Later he studied for the law, at the same time supporting himself by clerical work. After he was admitted to the bar he was soon given full charge of the office iq which he worked at a salary of $600 per year William A. Clark taught school and studied law at Mt. Pleasant until he was attracted by the gold discoveries in Colorado. He went Central City, wonted in quartz mines ior a year, and then went to Montana, where he began his mine tperajLlons. Albert J. Beveridge was called upou to earn the living of the family at the age of 12. At fourteen he became a railroad laborer, and at sixteen weLt into a logging camp and was soon put in charge of the men. With 850 which was loaned to him he entered DePauw University. Charles W. Fairbanks learned the trade of a carpenter, so that he might earn money to pay his college expenses and support himself while taking his course. Later while studying law, ne did newspaper work for the Associated Press. He began to practice in Indianapolis and refused to enter politics until he bad become thoroughly established. Alton B. Parker began teaching school at the age of sixteen, with the hope of going to Cornell. He entered a'law office instead at Kingston, attended law school at Albany, and returned to Kingston to practice twelve vears later with a partner named Kenyon. He was elected Surrogate of Ulster County during this time, and became a power in politics, and was nominated by bis party for the Supreme bench, with the unusual experience of the republicans refusing to nominate an antagonist. Benjamin B. Odell went into the ice business with his father when he was fifteen, and began by delivering ice from the wagon. He used the opportunity to win vottsfor his father, who was running for a county office, and from that time became a campaign organizer. He soon extended his own business activities to all sorts of public improvements in his home city of Newburgh, and began his own political life as leader of a ward In the legislature.

The President's Speech. The Indianapolis News an independent paper which has very often criticized President Roosevelt, says his speecii accepting the nomination is the ablest utterance the country has ever had from him and is the best presentation of the republican case that has yet been made. The News especially commends the following paragraph: "We are more fortunate than our opponents, who now appeal for confidence on the jground, which some express and some seek to have confidentially understood, that, If triumphant, they may be trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they have laid down as vital, and to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because of which they, ask that the administration itself be driven from power. Our oppo nents, either openly or secretly, accor-1 ding to their several temperaments, now ask the people to trust their present promises In consideration of the fact that thev intend to treat their past promises as null. and void. We know our" own minds, and we have kept of the same mind for a sufficient length of time to give to our policy coherence and sanity," . The Party Press. The burden of the campaign must be carried by the local party press. TbVmetropolitan papers become mere manufacturing concerns whose business to collect and sell news. They are bound to no set principles. They are answerable to no platform. They are guided solely by whatever , is of benefit to them. We do not blame them for this. ' It is the trait of human nature to them. But they should not arrogate to themselves superior virtues and superior wisdom.. The honest paper of the land is the partisan-paper. It stands for something. It is no better and claims to be no better-than the party for which it stands, ' It is fair, is manly, is patriotic. And the county paper is the most sincere of all papers because its editor is always in the ."great white light." He must be honest and. be It said to the honor of the fraternity, he wishes to be honest. In the campaign at hand the work of presenting argument and principles will fall to the local party press. 'Orators will address their thousands, biit each issue of a paper reaches far more people than any orator can address in a single meeting, while the orator's facts and figues have already been, gathered from these party papers. The orator simply clothes them in the beauties of speech. It is the duty of every citizen in this land tobe partisan. Likewise it is his duty to stand by the partisan press. Exchange.

WHAT BRYAN SAYS Nomination of Parker Is Triumph of Wall Street

ANTI-TRUST PLANK IS NULLIFIED His Nominaticn Was Drought About by "Crooked and Indefensible Methods" His Candidacy Was a Plain and Deliberate Attempt to Deceive the Party. In the first issue of "The Commoner" after the St. Lo:iis convention Mr. Eryan makes a statement with reference to the Democratic national ticket and platform. It constitutes the only editorial reference to Judge Parker in the paper. Mr. Bryan says In part: "A Democratic victory will mean very little, if any, progress on economic questions so long as the party is under the control of the Wall street element. Nothing good can be expected of him on the moaey question. "On the trust question the Democratic platform is very much better than the Republican platform, but the nomination of Judge Parker virtually nullifies the anti-trust plank. "So far as the labor questions are concerned we must await Judge Parker's letter before we shall know whether the laboring man has anything to expect from his election. The labor plank as prepared : by Judge Parker's friends on the sub-committee was a straddling, meaningless plank. In the full committee planks were .adopted in xavor of arbitration, the eight-hour day, and against government by injunction; also a plank on the Colorado situation. If Judge Parker, is silent or ambiguous on these subjects it will mean that the financial Influence back of him will not permit him to take the labor side on these disputed questions. "On the tariff question, some little progress may be noped for, but the Parker men on the committee were nearly all in favor of a very conservative tariff plank, and it remains to be seen whether Judge Parker will carry out the positive and definite plank which was submitted by the full committee. This is the situation. "Judge Parker stands for enough things that are good to justify me In giving him my vote, but as I have tried to point out for several months, the triumph of the Wall street element of tne party denies to the country any hope of relief on economic questions. I have nothing to take back, I have nothing to withdraw of the things that I have said against the methods pursued to advance his candidacy. It was a plain and deliberate attempt to deceive the party. The New York platform was vague and meaningless and purposely so, because the advocates of Judge Parker were trying to secure votes from among the people who would have opposed his views had they known them. If he had sent to the Albany convention tne telegram that he sent to the St. Louis convention he would have had very few instructed votes from the Soum and no possible chance for the nomination. But he and his managers adroitly and ' purposely concealed his position until the delegates had been corral ed and the nomination assured. ' Then his friends attempted to secure a gold plank, which was overwhelmingly defeated in the committee. After the party had rejoiced over the harmony secured by the omission of tne question, and after he had secured the nomination, he injected his views upon the subject at a time when he could not be taken from the ticket without great demoralization. The nomination was secured, therefore, by crooked and indefensible methods Wili Vote for Roosevelt. Congressman Charles B. Landis calls the attention of a Tribune reporter to a political change that occurred in Burlington townlship, Carroll county, a few days ago that occasioned more comment, if . possible, there than did the flop of W. S. Armstrong here. The gentleman who left the Democratic party and came out for Roosevelt is John T. Johnson, one of the most substantial and bestknown men In the eastern part of Carroll county, and mor many years one of the mainstays of Democracy in that section. He will not support Parker because he believes him to be under the control of the Eastern money power. When the Republicans of Burlington township held their convention a few days ago, Mr. Johnson attended and 'at the proper time took the floor, explained "his presence In the convention, announced his purpose as to the future and asked to be re-' ceived into the party and permitted to have a voice in tne selecting of its nominees. It is needless to say that he ; was taken Into full fellowship at once. Kokomo Tribune. Repudiates Hill's Deal. The Western Laborer at Omaha, an Influential 'journal which supported Bryan, has declared for Roosevelt The attitude of the paper is explained in a three-colmun editorial. One paragraph is: ' "We cannot remain In a party which we have seen pledged to turn the gov-, ernment over, to a man who dare not state where he stands on public policy until after David Hill and other managers for Wall street, the banks, trusts, and corporations, had duped the party and stolen the nomination for him." Sick Headache. "For several years my wife was troubled with what physicians called eick headache of a very esvere character. She doctored with several eminent physians and at a great expense, only to grow woroe until ehe was unable to do any kind of work. . Abont a year ago she began taking Chamterlsin,s .Stomach and Liver Tablets and today weighs more than she ever did before and is real well." says Mr, Geo. E. Wright of New London, New York.

Deceased was the daughter of Lewis Davis, and was born in Hancock county, Ohio. She came with her parents to this county twenty-five years ago, and resided for several years with them on the farm just east of Fairmount church.

Where Money Was Burned. The Scientific American says with, American control of the Panama canal zone we inherit a graveyard of wrecked hopes and lives, with monuments strewn from ocean to ocean. There is no richerdigglng in the ruins uf ancient Rome than here. More than $20,000,000 worth of decaying machinery, buildings, and implements are buried in the moist soil. In the palmy days of the French regime a small fleet was . kept constantly bringlog goods, machinery of the costliest kind, much of which was never Intended to be used. Machinery by the acre was paid for and then allowed to rot. The old compaoy left 2431 I buildings of all kinds, but thev could nut hold all the machinery. The soil is fo soft that many c.f the buildings sunk until only the second story is nov visible. To make the houses more secure many of them used this machinery for foundations. There are houses va the isthmus that stand on $50,000worth of machinery, which was never used for the purpose Intended. In parts of the isthmus this machinery is found ten and tifteeq feet below the suriace. Unearthed, it is found as soft and porous as cheese.
