This county needs a good surveyor and if David E. Yanvactor, the repub lican candidate, is elected it will, have one of the best surveyors in Indiana Mr. Yanvactor is among the best mathematicians in the state and if he is elected it will not be necessary for the county council to appropriate SI, 500 for a deputy to teach him to survey We believe the voters of Marshall countv will think of this when they go to the ballot box. Many of the verv best democrats in the county have signified their intention ol voting lor him and he ought to be elected by the largest majority ever given any candidate in Marshall county. Every citizen of Marshall county chould vote for D. E. Yanvactor. i The Laporte democratic county convention endorsed B. E. Shively of South Bend for senator to succeed Senator Beveridge. The Washingtou Post says that "democrats now know what they believe." But they refuse to believe i what they know. That is what they know is in store for them. Chicago Chronicle: Democratic candidates for the presidency in late years make a virtue of promising not to accept re-election. The idea seems to be that they are confessedly suspicious characters and that the people will be more willing to let them In If they promise not to stay long. This attempt to inspire confidence has exactly the opposite effect. If a candidate does not respect himself andeansot trust himself he need not expect thfc people to respect or trust him.

The judicial convention which

meet in Rochester, Wednesday afternoon, August 24, can nominate, a republican who will be elected prosecuting attorney; The Chicago Chronicle says Judge Parker's speech is a confession of judgment. We think the Chronicle is slightly mistaken, it Is a confession of lack of judgment. The naval parade, the first big event if the national G. A. 11. encampment at Boston, was led by 500 inmates of former confederate prisons. More than 100,000 veterans are in the city. Democratic papers are rejoicing be cause Hoke Smith, secretary of the in terior during Cleveland's administra tion, has taken the stump for Parker and Davis. Hoke was never popular with the old Union soldiers but democrats do hot expect many votes from them, . that the fall of Port Arthur must be r effected ar once, even If the operations in Manchuria come to a halt, and troops are being rushed to re-enforce those now before the beleaguered fort ress the fall of which is now believed to be near, as the garrison's fighting strength has been weakened by contin ued assaults and the loss of the as.istance of the fleet.. Ex Governor Bout well, of Massa chusetts, who has been mentioned as joining the democratic party, is 87 years old. From 183S to 1861 he was x democrat. From 18G1 to 18:2 he acted with the republican party. Since 1872 he has been a democrat. He was a republican 11 years and has been a democrat 55 years since he became ä voter. He has voted the democratic ticket as often as Henrv G. Davis. Port Arthur is being stormed by sea and land. The Japanese guns on commanding heights, searching out the inner forts, have driven the crip pled ships of the Russian squadron to sea, where Adminral Togo has closed with them. The fall of the fortress already is rumored in St. Petersburg. London military experts think the day of doom for the beleaguered fort ress has dawned and that the orders of the mikado to capture the place at once will be carried out. It may now safely be said that Rus sia has no fleet left in Pacific waters. She has a few damaged battle ships and cruisers, but they are scattered in many places, they are hopeless of effecting a juncture and hopeless of fighting successfully should they join. It is doubtful if they would be strong enough, even with all the Russian vessels now available In the Baltic added to them, If that were possible, to do anything to restore to Russia her lost sea power. Port Arthui is said to be on fire, and the situation is so desperate that the Japanese have urged the garrison to surrender. It is believed the be siegers, in case the Russians refuse to capitulate, will seize the opportunity thus presented to rush the fortress. The ammunition has reached a low stage, it is believed in St. Petersburg, and Russia momentarily expects to learn of the stronghold's fa!L The sortie of the Port Arthur squadron failed, the ships returning to port without sighting the Japanese fleet. None of the Japanese generals in the field can be called young, their ages ranging between 46 and 62. This is said, in military circles, to be unusual, but it must be remembered that these men have itjrown up with and made the army and have led it in its battles in China At this critical time it was the part of wisdom to leave them in command. Marqnis Yamagate, field marshal, is said to be the greatest strategist of his genera tion, lie is 66 and is not in the field, but is supposed to be directing atiairs from his post in Tokio. Bryan's friends in Indiana are en deavoring to pursuade him to give five days to this state during Septem ber and five days again In October, but he hasnot Indicated whether he will he able to give that much time to this state. If he does his dates will be made through the state com mute, although several of the state leaders are exceedingly anxious that he be handled through local committees so that the state organization can not be held responsible, if be should kick over the traces and say something that will do Parker more harm than good.

Twenty-six thousand Grand Ärmj

men marched in the parade at Boston Tuesday and a half million spectators looked on and cheered. The reunion of the veteraLS of all i - the wars in Boston this week is added proof that the constitution reigns and the republic still lives. The South Bend Sunday News is worried over the democratic nominee for congress in the Thirteenth district. The News says Nelson J. Riley will accept. It has remained for a South Bend democratic administration to put the first negro on the police force, James Bowen having been appointed by the Board of Public Safety. Mayor Fogar ty has been receiving most of the lo cal colored vote and is now a candi date for office. If Judge Parker will cease shedding crocidile tears over the Filipinos and turn bis eyes westward and south ward he will find that under our American flag and constitution, Indians are deprived of their liberty and independence by federal bayonets and Negroes by southern shot gULS. If Judge Hess or some other good lawyer is nominated for prosecuting attorney at Rochester next Wednes day he will be elected. Everybody in both counties knows that Judge Iless is qualified for the position and will do his duty without regard to whether an offender is a democrat or a repub lican. Elaborate preparations are now un der way for Indiana day. which will be celebrated at the St. Louis exposition Sept. 1, and it is estimated by members of the Indiana World's Fair commission that not less than 5,000 citizens will attend in addition to a great number of MHoosiers"who have taken advantage of the occasion to meet old friends. Drunkenness and disorderly conduct are far less prevalent now than twen ty years ago. It is not simply the enactment of law but also the change in public sentiment that has caused this result. Present conditions are largely the result of agitation and the growing demand that men of work and men of business keep clear heads and steady hands. Philip Heiser, of Omaho, Nebraska, who, with J. F. Callen, of Indianap oils, has been organizing the saloon keepers of the congressional districts of Indiana, says the Thirteenth and Eleventh Districts have been organ! zed, that the organization in the Sixth is well linder way, and that the saloon keepers of the Ninth will meet August 18 at Kokomo to complete their organization. The platform of the Indiana reor ganizers says the republican fiscal of fleers are entitled to no credit for pay ing so much of the state debt as has been extinguished by the state debt sinking fund. But they are certainly entitled to some credit for not Imitat ing the example of their democratic predecessors, who issued new bonds to build up the state debt at one end while they were tearing it down at the other. Rochester Republican. The geological survey announces that the United States has surpassed the nations of the world in the pro duction of iron ore. According to of fical figures the quantity of iron ore produced in the United States In the year ending December 31, 1903, was 35,019,308 fllong tons, a decrease of 534,827 long tons from 1902. The quantity mined in 1903 is, however, the second largest recorded, and is greater than the combined totals for they year 1902 of Germany, Luxem berg and the British empire, which are the nearest competitors of the United States. No one questions the bravery of the Russian soldiers and sailors, but they are woefully in want of modern train ing and competent leaders. Russian chieftains either inherit their posi tions or obtain them by royal favor. The common soldier, the man in the ranks has no opportunity to rise. The young blood of the nation has no show at the top. The natural born fighters, the men whom nature has qualified to lead, cannot show their prowess and no nation can hope to succeed against the grc wing tendency of the age to send the best men to the front. Russia lacks leaders on land and sea, and while they may be willing to die for their country, they do not know how to fight for it:

Happy Though Novel Wedding. After' surmoutiDg miny obstacles,

Frank Woodward, a Fort Wayne painter, Saturday evening succeeded in wedding Miss EllaBarrlck, a young woman living in the northern part of Adam county, the ceremony taking place on a Lake Erie & Western pass. enger train runnincr at the rate of thirty-five miles aa hour, the passengers forming the bridal party. Mr. Woodward started from St. Louis Friday night to go to Ft. Wayne where he was to meet Miss Barrick and then go to her home at Uniondale, where the wedding was to have taken place. He missed two traius out of St. Louis, but finally caught a Ft. Wayne train by taking a long trolley ride. At Ft. Wayne, after securing the license, he and his bride-to-be boarded the south bound Lake Erie train to go to her home, but before the train left the station she discovered that she had lost the license and the minister's fee, which was enclosed in the same envelope. The young man got off to hunt for it, and in the meantime the conductor found the envelope in the coach. As the train started to leave without Woodward the bride-to-be jumped off, but Woodward caught the train a little farther down the track unconsciously leaving the bride at the station. In the meantime the passengers had learned the intention of the young people and took a hearty interest in their affairs. Nearly every one grab bed the bell rop e and had the conduc tor back up to the Station for the bride. When she again boarded the train it was suggested that the wedding take place immediately. The Rev. L. A. Beeks was on the train and tied the nuptial knot. A reception was given to the bride and groom on the train and the bride found that among the passengers vere two of her cousins. Mrs. R. F. Cummings and Miss Coe Weisell. When the bride and groom got off the train at Kingsland there was a bead sticking out of every window and a handwaving farewell as the engineer tooted a merry salute. Misfortunes Never Comes Singly. Captain Humphreys, the mail agent most seriously injured in Monday's Yandalia wreck near Plainfield, is ready to subscribe to the truthfulness of the saying that misfortunes never come singly. He was tenderly re moved to his home on North Alabama street Indianapolis where in one room his wife was lying in bed suffering from the effects of a fall received sev eral days before. In a second bed room his mother-in-law is confined to her bed, with her limbs paralvzed, as the result of a fall. Captain Humphreys was cared for in another room and his grandson, Walter Humphreys, was just recovering from injuries received in a street car accident. If there is anything in compensation of fortune there ought to be a streak of good luck a short way ahead for that family. Boxes ol Dirt and Gravel. An old- man who should have known better, allowed a bunch of 4,good fellows" to lock up a sum of money, supposed to be $3,000 of his own and another $3.000 he had won from them at a game of chance. He carried home the box containing the money as he supposed but when he opened it he found nothing but dirt and gravel. There is a great game you all know. It is the game of life. Many men play it unfairly and they take home their little boxes at last, only to find that it contains nothing out dirt and gravel. The game of life is the only one at which all players may win. All who play it fairly must surely win, while those who cheat will get their boxes of dirt just as certain as death. Time Set for Allowances. A law enacted by the last legisla. ture requires that executors and administrators of estates shall, on tha first Monday of January March, May, July, September and November of each year examine all claims upon the claim and allowance docket of the cir cuit court represented by them. All claims filed for more than 30 days shall either be allowed or disallowed by the ! executor or administrator. ' Should any executor or administrator refuse to allow or disallow any such claim af ter the same has been filed 60 days and docket and the same is allowed by the court in full, then the costs of the action is taxed asralnst the executor or administrator personally. A Dash of Pepper in Politics. A dash of pepper has been added to the political mix by Eugene Y, Debs, who, in a lengthy interview in a Terre Haute paper paid hisiespectsin char acteristic language toD. F. Kennedy, labor agitator. Kennedy then told some things about Debs calculated to make a sensitive man squirm. Their controversy makes very good reading at this time. It is probably a good thing for these eminent statesmen that the truth does not kill or even cripple, otherwise both would be rep resented In the campaign by substitu

The Veterans and Their War, This week the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic is held in Boston. These gath

erings have an interest to the out side public that the meetings of no other organization possess. For one thing, the body will pass out of existence with the men who now compose it: for another, there is an affection for !t and a sense of kinship to its members on the part of real Americans which no other association of citizens can command. Yet there is an increasing element of pathos in the successive reunions of the organization in these later years. It is not that the vetsrans of its ranks are growing old. They are getting on in years, it is true; and not a few of them are feeble: but age is not necessarily cause for compassion, and so many of these old sol diers are still so active and vigorous that no thought of decrepitude can oe connected with them. The pathos of t.e meetings grows out of feeling, sometimes consciously expressed, sometimes unconsciously betrayed by the speakers of the oc casion. but the great war in which they fought is being forgotten by the rising generations and its tremendu ous results ignored. The veterans fee that they alone are keeping alive the memory of the momentous conflict. In a sense they are right. The men and women of today profit bv the deeds of these soldiers, but they do not think of their deeds. They are absorbed in the affairs of their own time and do not stop to consider the past. Tnis is inevitable, It is human and not just cause for complaint, though the seeming neglect hurts the participants in the fateful and famous struggb. But there is no real forgetfulness. The history and consequences of that vast contest are so interwoven into the national consciousness that they form a background for all significant social and commercial movements. The men who fought in the civil war may pass on, but the war itself wil stand forever as an event by which al subsequent history is measured. As time goes on, its importance will be estimated even more fairly than now and it will be the theme of great lit erature. Instead of being forgotten, its soldiers and their deeds will be gloritied. Indianapolis Star. What Democratic Editors Say. Colonel "Ike" Strouse, editor of The Rockville Tribune, is one Indiana Democrat wnose faith in T. Taggart's ability as a political manager is not o the kind to move mountains. Strouse was a radical, rampant Hearstite, and as such ground relentlessly beneath the Taggart machine when Iaöiana was lined for Parker, consequently he is slightly prejudiced. None the less he makes a good point when he says, editorially: 'It has been ten long, wilderness wandering years since Tom Taggart was chairman of the state centra committee. He put up a mark in 1894, when the republicans carried the state by nearly 50,000, that has given us something to shoot at ever since." Carl Braytield, of Clarke county, is another democratic editor who is not entirely en rapport with Taggart and the reorganize. He says: "There is no use disguising the fact that the nomination of Parker and Davis is unpopular in Indiana and thro ierhout the west, 'lhere is no use to build false hopes or chase rain bows and the sooner the truth is told the better it will be for the demo cratic party. "Perhaps the moneyed aristocracy, which now controls our party, has figured it out that they can elect the ticket by an Eastern and a Southern vote, and that tney they knew the West was lost to the ticket when they made it. Certainly no sane democrat believes tnat Indiana can be carried for Judge Parker and Mr. Davis. In fact, we are in great danger of losing such states as Kentucky and Tennessee." - A Millionaire's Advice. It is seldom worth while to give ad vice, for each mother's son must learn the lesson of life through his own experience; but if ever advice contained the concentrated business wisdom of a lifetime it is that offered to the heirs of a recently deceased millionaire in his will. It is worth reading, even if the reader declines to follow it, and it runs thus: "I would advise all my children to be prudent in their investments, and not to purchase anything simply because it is cheap but to -1 remember that a a longtime security, drawing a low rate of interest, is often more desirable than an investment which draws a high rate of Interest. I would also adyise them not to purchase anything which they cannot pay for in full at the time of the purchase, as more men are ruined by speculation than In any other way. I also adyise them not to sign any note or bond and to look weil to all transfers of real estate, and not to encumber any real estate, except for the purpose of improving same.'" Many a man will feel that he can safely form these ideas in his com mercial transactions, but how many

really do so with profit? ?

, Political Pointen. The largest Item in our gain of gold imports last year came from Japan's purchases in this country. The republican party insists upon the open door for American trade. The democratic policy would make the open door useless by tinkering with the tariff and keeping us out of foreign markets. The democratic platform of 1900 said: "We are unalterably opposed to monometallism." That declaration has not been changed by the action of the party in national convention. It required a display of moral courage for a democrat to declare for sound money in 1896 and 1900. Judge Parker supported the free silver candidate in those years. Vice Presidential Candidate Davis is much incensed over the campaign stories that are being told about him He will lose timidity of that kind when he gets older and more seasoned to the penalities of political life. No republican convention has ever found it necessary to revise its platform to comply with a telegram of instructions. . Democratic orators are insisting that Senator Lodge wrote the republican platform. The republican platform was written in the records of ei-nt years of glorious partv achievement.

Mexican Veterans Reunion. For the first time in the history of the Mexican war veterans of Indiana, the annual meeting this year is to held outside of Indianapolis, the place fixed for the meeting being the city of Bedford, and the date being September 18.19. According tp the records of the I .diana association there are now living in Indiana only two hundred and forty of these soldiers.
