OLD FASHIONED CAMP MEETING

A good old fashioned camp meeting is scheduled for Winona Lake- It will begin Thursday September 1st. and will continue for a period of ten days. The gates will be open and every one can enter free cf charge. An unusually strong force of speakers and singers hava-been engaged and it is expected that thousands will attend, coming from all parts of the country. The Rev. Jaseph Smith of Redlands, Cal., will have charge of the meeting. He is among the , most prominent evangelists of this country having a world wide Teputation. He had charge of the great Pentecostal meeting held in connection with the Methodist conference in Ixs Angeles last May. Rev. H. C. Morrison of LouisTille, editor of the Pentecostal Herald, will be present during the entire meeting and will speak several times each day. Another prominent evangelist who will speak every day is Bue Robinson the converted Texas cow-boy. He spends all his time in evangelistic work, and it is said is so familiar with the bible that he seldom needs to open the book. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Harris of Evans ton, 111., prominent evangelists will take part in a number of the meetings. Mrs. Harris often preaches while her husband is conducting the bible readings. She is a noted preacher and will be heard on several occasions. They are musicians of note and often sing together. One of the pleasing features of the meeting will be the presence of the Northern Indiana Conference Male Quartette, consisting of the following well known ministers: I. J. Naftzger. Presiding Elder Muncie District; Earle F. Naftzger, Logansport; F. F. Thornburg, Farmland and D. H. Guild, Warsaw. T .ministers have been singink. C gether for five years, appearing at the National Epworth League conventions held in San Francisco, Detroit and Indianapolis. THE RIGHTS OF STRIKERS.

Judge Humphrey, of the United States Court in Springfield, 111,, refussed to dissolve the temporary injuction which he issued restraining the strikers and union officers from picketing the .Ziegler Coal Company's property or in any manner interfering with the mine. In so doing he laid down the law again in these words: "Men that want to work have a perfect right to do so and I. will see that they are protected in that right in this district. The ' man who does not want to work has no right to interfere with the man who does. A workman has a right to sell his labor or withdraw it but he must not interfere with other men who want to -work. This is Judga Humphrey's brief but emphatic restatement of the law as to the right of men to work if they wish and to the wrong of interfering with men who wish to work. This law has been stated by the courts over and over again and is now so thoroughly understood that unions can not plead ignorance. Chicago Chronicle. FOOLS AND THEIR FOLLY. oTwo fools in St. Louis have a wager on the result of the Presidential election, and a third fool has; been found to hold the monay portion of the stakes. One of the fools has put ud $5 on the election of his candidate, and the other, in consideration of the money stake, is to jump from the Eads Bridge into the Missippi and end his existence if he should lose the wager. The terms of the wager have been reduced to writing and duly signed by ' two of the fools, and, with . the money,it is put into the safekeeping of the third. There is a solemn pledge to commit suicide in the written agreement if the 5 should be awarded the other f col, because of the results of -the election. - There ought to be a-place for "-the keeping of the class of electors embraced in the terms of that wager. There is neither decency nor wit in any part of it, nor good senso in the makers of thewngcrnorin the stakeholder. Ridiculous bct3 there lway3 will bo, but none to equal the bet mido at St. Louis, which reflects nothing but discredit on all connected with it.

LOGANSPORT BOYCOTT

Girls Do Not Want Tightwad Beaux. 'Tightwad Beaux" is the caption of a proclamation tigned by twenty young women of Logansport and to be published by them, in which they protest against the selfishness of the young men of the town. The petition says: "This is a compliment from representative girls of Logansport, who cry for relief from a condition which prevailed since Logansport was founded. "We refer to the utter selfishness of the city's young men. They are content to sit around our homes, allowing us to tan them, sing, or play for them. They eat our 'fudge' and bestow the blessing of their company upo'n us. But when anything comes up involving the expend lture of money it s a different matter. If smiles cost the young men anything they would not be so generous even with them. Such a thing as taking a girl buggy riding or to a theater, or sending her sweets, flowers, books, or music is unknown. "The boys in other Indiana towns are not this way. We are tired ot it, and wish to say so in plain English. A hint .usually suffices. 'Boys, get busy.1 The original twenty signers of appeal announce their intention of crusading against the close fisted swains and effecting a boy cott of stingy beaux as soon as their number are sufficiently aug mented to make the step effective. PARKER'S MISTAKE. Parker says of anti-trust legis lation: "What is needed is not so rmuch other and different laws as officials having both the courage and disposition to enforce existing laws." Oh, no, that is not the need, for the country has an official of that kind in Theodore Koosevelt. Witness what the democratic newspaper, the New York World said on this point the day after the Supreme Court affirmed the decision in the Northern Securites suit: ' '.The Anti-Trust law was framed by a republican, was passed by a republican house and a republican Senate, was signed by a republican president. 4 'The law remained a dead letter on the statute books during the second term of Grover Cleveland, democratic president. Through those four years of democratic administration all appeals and all efforts of the world to have the law enforced were met with sneers, jeers and open contempt from a democratic Attorney General Richard Olney, who pretended that the law was unconstitutional, and who would do nothing toward prosecuting violators of it. "The first effort to enforce the law was made by Theodore Roosevelt, a republican president The first attorney general to vigorously prosecute offenders and to test the law was a republican attorney general, JPhilander C. Knox." EASTERN WAR NEWS. Some writer with a humorous turn of mind has looked back over the dispatches from the seat of war in the East and has aggregated the numerical results of the war as narrated from day to day. According to his figures the Russiara have lost about sixty-six firstclass battle ships, to say nothing of 145 armored cruisers and hundreds of torpedo boats and destroyers. ' Over 90, 000 have been killed and 186,000 prisoners have been captured. On the other side the Japs have suffered almost as severely, . except in the loss of ships. Port Arthur has fallen several times and has been ready to fail a dozen times. TIMID PUBLIC AEN. An Indianapolis woman says. I have no vote, but if I had I should be disposed not to exercise my privilege until I could find a candidate with convictions and the courage of them. I read the account of the evasive letters written by Indiana senators and members of congress on public questions, and they made me wonder how these men reached such prominence. "When will public men learn that courage in tb a expression of opinon wins respect, even though the opinions are unpopular? Timidity and 'piUf osin" always arouse con temfM,

POLITICS IN I3TK DISTRICT.

The democrats of this district will meet in South Bend Thursday, Sept. 1, to nominate a candidate for congress. Very little interest is manifested by democrats of Marshall county but their choice is B. F. Shively. They believe he would stand a better show in a contest with A. L. Brick than ,any one else. It is given out on what appears to be good authority, however, that Mr. Shively is not a candidate and will not accept the nomination. It is stated that he has his eye on bigger game, He believes that in case Judge Parker is elected he might secure a good appointive office, a seat in the cabinet, even being among the possibilities aspired to. Most of the cendidates men-; tioned are from St. Joseph county. J. B. Stoll's name appears in the list but he declares positively that he would not accept any political office. Among others whose names are being considered are Nelson J. Riley and Prank Dunnahoo of South Bend and Editor O'Neil of the Mishawaka Democrat, Francis E. Hering, also of South Bend, a defeated nominee of the party for the office, says nothing when questioned as to his candidacy. His silence is believed to indicate that he would accept. The Fogarty crowd jumped on to Hering with both feet in the state convention, stamped him kicked him and rolled him over, and stamped and kicked him again. Now they are trying to persuade him to take the nomination for congress so that they can trade him for votes for Fogarty and forever end his political career. Attorney Adam E. Wise of Plymouth is mentioned, but says he is not a candidate. He is too "busy, with his own affairs to get into it. Judge Beeman of Starke county won't have it, although his name has been mentioned. He says: "I think a great deal of Congressman Brick. I regard him as a very strong candidate aud know that he personally makes friends, but even if I had a chance to defeat him I would not accept a nomination for congress,' which indicates that Judge Beeman, like many other democrats expects to support Mr. Brick. Other names mentioned are B. F. Deahl, of Goshen, and Mr. Bowser of Warsaw.1 THE GHOST OF ROYALTY. The familv of the Czar is a costly drain on the revenues of Russia. The Czar has a brother a grand-uncle, four uncles, four cousins of the first degree, ten cousins of the second degree and thirteen cousins of the third degree. The grand-uncle, the uncles and the cousins of the first and second degrees haye right to the titles of ''grand duke" and "imperial highness"; the cousins of the third degree have right only to the titles of "prince" and "highness.'1 These grand dukes and princes, the thirty-three relatives of Nicholas 11, require each at least an annual income of $500,000, representing a total of more than $16,000,000 a year. More than this, these thirty-three noble kinsmen own about onefortieth of the land of European Russia. They have 325 palaces and chateaux, and have 20,000 servants. The pay of General Kuropatkin is said to be 200,000 rubles-$100,000-a year during the war. When he left for Manchuria the Czar made him, it was said, a present of 500,000 rubles $250,000). The pay of the Russian ranks is almost nothing. He is a patriot, and his fare is black bread and cabbage. NO SODA FOUNTAIN BEER. So much criticsm has been aroused by the serving of beer to women at the soda fountain in Bishop Potter's Subway tavern that the backers of that institution have decided to stop that feature. A sort of rathskeller is being fitted up in the basement, and when that is opened no more beer will be sold at the fountain. The basement is to resemble as nearly as possible an old English inn. It will have dark furnishings and a sanded floor. Food will bo served there as well as drinks. Women with escorts will be admitted and any kind of drink or fpod they may wish will be served. The entranco to the basement will be from the "water wctgou" behind tho coda fountain.

JONES GRANT.

What a Comrade Thinks Who Soldiered With Him ' For Three Years. Washington Kelley, who now resides at Ober, Ind., says he had never written a communication tor a newspaper until he saw that the republicans of Marshall county had nominated Jones Grant for county treasurer. - After thinking about that nomination for several days and wishing he could vote for his old army comrade, Lieutenant Kelley decided to send the following communication to voters of Marshall county: I was very much pleased when I saw that the republicans had nominated Jones Grant for county treasurer.' I want to say that while they honored him they also honored themselves when they placed his name on their ticket. He was a member of my company and I never knew a truer or more reliable man than he in every position in which he was placed. He is as honest and conscientious a citizen as can be found in Marshall county or any where else. I have been intimately acquainted with him for more than forty years, have seen him in the most trying circumstances and never found him cking. He served his country long and well, was severely wounded three times and always returned to duty as soon as ho was able At one time he lay on the battle field for a whole week without a morsel of food and had it not been for his grit and genuine courage he would have died.i He deserves the vote of every man in the county and his election will be an honor to the county. .He is honest and competent and every interest of the county will be safe inhis hands. I be lieve every republican will vote for him and I wish that a major ity of democrats would do the same thing. They could not vote for a better man and I am sure they would never regret having voted for Jones Grant. Washington Kelley. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

JUDGE PARKER ON TRUSTS.

J udge Parker, in his speech of acceptance, was singularly and significantly indefinite in his dis cussion of the trust question. He said: "The growth of monopoly, of which complaint is justly made, cannot be laid at the doors of the country. The decisions of the Supreme Courts of the United States, the Court of Ap peals of this state, and the courts of last resort in many states, warrant the assertion that the common law &s developed affords a complete legal remedy against monopolies.' Standing alone it is difficult to interpret the meaning of this utterance of the democratic candidate for president. Read in con nection with the democratic state platform of New York, adopted at Albany last April and dicta ted by Judge Parker's friends if not by the judge himself, it means that he is opposed to Federal control of trusts and monopolies. The trust plank in that reads as follows: 'Corporations chartered by the state must be subject to just regulation by the state in the interest of the people." Judge Parker regards "the common law as a complete legal remedy against monopolies,,' and his New York platform favors leading the control of the trusts and monopolies to the states which grant charters to them. This was ihe argument made by the attorneys for 'the North ern Securities Company when that case came before the Supreme Court of the United States . Those able constitutional lawyers agreed that as the Northern Securities Company was a state corporation, chartered by the state of New Jersey, the enforcement of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law against that corporation was an unauthorized interference by the National Government with the internal commerce of that state. The Supreme Court in its opinion handed down b.v Justice Harlan remarked. "This suggestion does not at all impress us." The court then hald that the Sherman Law did prohibit such an interference with interstate commerce and that "by the express words of the Constitution, Congress has power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes. In view of the unanimous decisions of this court there ought not, at this day, to be any doubt as to the general scope of such power, BETTING ON THE ELECTION. Little has been heard, as yet of betting in Indiana on the results of the forthcoming election but in a quiet way some little money has been posted, and some of it has been covered. The betting boards of Indianapolis at present show several propositions at odds"of 100 to 70 that Roosevelt will be elected, but no bets are posted on the results in Indiana. - Thursday, however, more money came into sight on propositions that should readily find democratic takers if the democrats of the state are half as confident as they talk. At republican state headquarters it was announced that a well-known republican, who is one of the most active parry men in the state, stands ready to back his confidence in republican success with $4,000, which he will wager as follows: First, 51,000 that Roosevelt will be elected; second, 1,000 that Roosevelt will carry Indiana; third, 51,000 that Senator Beveridge will be re-elected, which is equivalent to a wager that the republicans will carry the state, legislature, and fourth, Sl,00n that the republicans will carry Marion county. Even money is asked on all these, propositions, and the better is willing to "make good" on any one or all four. . On the theory that money talks more loudly than words, this is strong evidence of the confidence . of Indiana republi cans. The man who is anxious to back his judgment and his confidence with his good money is one of the best informed poticians in the state, tie is tnoroughy informed as to conditions n almost every county in Indiana, and it isnot to be suggested that he would wager $4,000 on the propositions noted if he were not satisfied that the outlook in Indiana was all that republicans could desire.

INDIANA SALOONS.

Only Two Counties in State Are Dry. There was an increase of 131 saloons in Indiana during the year 1903, according to statistics just completed by State Statis tician Johnson- In 1902 there were 4,707 saloons, and last year there were 4, 835 . There were 32 rectifiers, 8,367 retail liquor dealers, 88 wholesale dealers, 44 breweries in the state last year, 39 registered distilleries, of which 34 were in operation. Sixteen distilleries used grain in the manufacture of their product and 18 used fruit. The distilleries of Indiana used 547,515 bushels of malt, 60 of wheat, 85 bushels of barley, 148,836 bushels of rye, 4, 655,346 bushels of corn, 3,077 of oats making a total of 5,355,097 bushels of grain used. Indiana produced 56,088 gal lons of appie brandy, 38 gallons of peach brandy, 10 of grape and the same number of pear brandy. There were 1,807,408 gallons of spirits rectified in this state dur ing the year-9.216,400 gallons of gauged. 1,079,587 barrels of fermented liquor produced in the state and $26,612,342 was the amount collected as revenue by Indiana on distilled spirits for the year. Retail dealers tn dis tilled spirits paid 190,468,06 to the state, and wholesale dealers paid 817,703, 40. Retail dealers paid into city and town treasu ries for license fees in the year, 777,005, and if every one who paid the city or town license also paid state license, the sum receiv ed by the school fund amounted to 483,500. Brown and Pike counties were the only ones not having saloons. FOR INDUSTRIAL TRAINING. Fassett A. Cotton, state super intendent of public instruction, favored the Elkhart county teachers institute with his pres erice and gave the teachers in at tendance the benefit of a good, square, sensible and manly talk. Along the more practical lines Mr. Cotton spoke quite freely. Among other things he said: am laboring especially for the rural school. These school teachers do not receive snfficient pay in comparison with other professions. Something must be dono for the rural school. The education for the child should euable him to interpret all kinds of life about him. It should enable him to be virtuous to with stand tempation. It should make him useful along the line he is best suited for. The key to all education is to find out what a pupil is good for and reach him by interesting him in that line of work. The. school should help the boy to make his living not prepare him for col lege only. Hence the industrial school is the best kind of school we have. Time will come when it will be the dominating form of work in the schools. Industrial system breaks down the barrier between the rich man s son and the poor man's son. It enobles labor teaching the child in life the result of play." NEBRASKA POPCORN. Among its other claims to celebrity, Nebraska leads all the states in its yield of popcorn. It has a special exhibit of this popular product in the Palace of Agriculture at the World's Fair and as all of its last year's crop has been bought by one of the concessionaries, it is safe to say that Nebraska will be heard as seen by all visitors, especially the boys and girls. Nebraska a few years ago was noted for another kind of "Pop." not so toothsome as the corn, but equally adept in making noise. This particular crop is not so abundant out there just now, the sea sons not having been propitious for its growth, though it is still in evidence. STRIKERS NEED MONEY.

After a conference with members of the executive committee of the strikers' national organization, President Donnelley refused to divulge what had taken place, He admitted that means of securing money for the meat strikers had been discussed, but he refused to say what else had been talked of at tho conference, President Donnelley said that a general mass meeting would be neid by the striking unions today at 2 p. m Plans of action will bo discussed at this meeting.

THE FARMER

IS INTERESTED The difference between the two great political parties can be concisely stated. The republican party has a definite policy; knows exactly what it wants to do and does it. The democratic party has no policy as an underlying principle, and when they have the power to do, do not know how to use it. The republicans carry their ideas into effect the ideas of the democrats on all of the great questions that affect the prosperity of the country are negative. To claim that the one is always right and the other always wrong would be absurdity, but to claim that the results of the policy of one, as it affects the daily life and well-being of the people, as against the lack cf a definite, well defined and well ex2cuted policy of the other, has been proven over and over again to have produced the greatest good to the greatest number is easv to demonstrate. If this was an exclusively ag ricultural country or an exclusive manufacturing country, the prob lem would be easier to solve. But it is both, and rules that benefit some sections, seem to injure others. Absolutely free trade that might help the farmer would destroy the manufacturer, and where so many varied interests have to be considered the policy that benefits the greatest number and the country as a whole is the one that should be carried out. Apparent injustice is done to some interests by any tariff law that might be enacted; but still greater would be done by none at all or one so inequitable that its effect would injure the country at large. Political economists of worldwide celebrity have differed as widely as the poles on the question of protection or protected interests, and f ree' t? ' de. or a tariff for revenue only, which is practically free trade, but political economists, like all other theorists, see only "one side of the shield," and all theories that are applied to facts are vain. The present condition of the United States, in its unquestioned prosperity and its steady advance to a commanding position among the great powers of the world, owes that position more largely to its tariff than to any other condition. The country is populated with an intelligent, industrious, brave and honorable people. Within its borders it has the soil arid climate to produce almost everything that grows on arth. Its mountains teem with metals. Its coal and timber and oil are inexhaustible. The enterprise of its citizens is boundless .Xo happier people than those who have so many of the neccesities and luxuries of life at their disposal exist anywhere on the globe; and it is not too ' rnuoh to say that the wisdom of the republican party has had much to do with putting it in their power to take advantage of the circumstances by which they are surrounded. It is not the purpose of this article to analyze and take up in detail what that party has done for the country, but to soberly ask the intelligent voter whether it is wise to change from this known, successful, prosperous system, to the unknown, experimental and unsettled policy of the opposite party, no matter how admirable may be its standard bearer, or how honorable and patriotic its leader. New York Dairyman. Japs Were Mowed Down. In the fighting of August 26, the One- hundred and - thirtv - ninth Saraisk Regiment, with a battery executed a particularly successful flanking: movement on the Japanese extreme right. The Kussians, unperceived,gotm the rear of the Japanese, whole col umns of whom were mowed down before they were able to extricate themselves. Manv of the wounded Jananese committed suicide rather than fall into the hands of the Russians. Charged With Desertion. Nathiel Dawson, of Mentone, is in jail and will be compelled to face the charge of desertion when his case, is called. Dawson, it is alleged, deserted a hard-work-wife and four children some time ago, and eloped to Mishawaka with a 19 year-old girl who was working as a domestic when located. Dawson was working at the Mishawaka Woolen Com pany's plant when arrested
