Down in Connecticut they are having friction because the average wages of street cleaners is $530 per year and the average wages of school teachers is only $300. This is at least one instance where brawn has the best of brains. J No community rises higher morally than it public sentiment. As the majority of its people desire so it is. It must be admitted by all fair minded people that the observance of law and order, as well as church influence is the only means by which a country is made inhabitable. All other influences tend to the destruction of the people. North Manchester News. v w If anybody is inclined to go into an argument with the governor as to the enforcement of the law, he should first understand that he laces himself in rather an awkward and embarrassing position at the outset, and Governor Hanly is not likely to make it any the less embarrassing for him Jjtfore he gets through with the-dis-cussion. " It is said that fifty loafers in Logansport who admitted that they were out of a job and pretended that they wanted work, refused $23 a w:ek to go into the harvest field. Hen in these fifty loafers will be found just fifty citizens who agree with Eugene Debs that a poor man is slave in this country, that the poor man has no opportunity and that the only way to make this land a paradise is to adopt a socialistic government. v v A Chicago clergyman says that socialism is to be censured for many things and most of the charges, we think, are true. The one that includes all the others, however, is that it leads many sincere people who are intelligent in many ways to expect the impossible and makes no proviFoin whatever for the disappointment and the inevitable anarchy that would follow an attempt to conduct a government according to the plans of the socialists. r Tom Reed once spoke of the feelings that came to him one day as he was gazing upon a number of magnificient buildings that were not in his name. He said he began to ponder the difference between his condition and that of the owner of one of these splendid buildings. At first thought he said, he mistook his contemplation for political economy, but upon a closer self-analysis he discovered that they inspired chiefly by pure envy. The world would be greatly better for all concerned if everyone of us would subject himself to just such self-analysis. But then, of course, not every one of us is a Tom Reed. 8 , W. J. Bryan announces that he is going to Europe to learn as much as possible about municipal ownership. There are reasons to believe that this man has a faculty of deceiving himself in the same subtle way that unconsciously perhaps he misleads his audiences. The chances are a thousand to one that he is simply seeking all the data possible to bolster up a preconception. Already he has declared for the principle underlying municipal and governmental ownership. If he felt that he really lacked information on the subject necessary to a conclusion he would have made this investigation first. But in first forming a conclusion and then seeking everything available to support that conclusion he has simp. adopted a metiod that is as old as thought itself. According to the Scriptures this was the sort of logic adopted by Adam and Eve in the Garden when they went out seeking pretexts for opposing the existing order.. And everybody knows what followed.
The cigarette-fmoking chimpanzee of the Hagenbeck animal show, which has been deprived of cigarettes since the show entered Indiana a week ago, died at Anderson on Friday.
The Fierceton merchants have perfected an organization for united protection against dcadbeats. The members agree not to extend credit to any man so long as he owes a member of the association and refuses to meet the obligation.
General Joseph H. Lyons, of Leavenworth, Kas., has been appointed temporary major general of the uniform rank Knights of Pythias, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of General James R. Carnahan.
The Knights of Pythias will build a $30,000 temple in Crawfordsville this year, and have taken options on several desirable down town sites. They propose putting up a four story office building, using the top floor for lodge purposes.
In a private letter Hon. J. M. Robbinson, of Fort Wayne, states that he will not be a candidate before the next congressional convention. He has no favorite in the race and will not exercise any advantage he may have against any aspirant.
Kittie Smith, the South Whitley armless orphan, has been able to purchase a $1,000 residence out of her share of the proceeds from the sale of the book "Kitty Smith." Just what the total proceeds from the sale of the book has been, we do not know but the aggregate runs up to several thousand dollars.
A number of farmers from the vicinity of Winamac, who went to Northwestern Canada are returning to Indiana. They say that the opportunities in the Canadian Northwest have been overestimated and that owing to the shortness of the seasons the crops do not mature well. They advise those who have the Canada fever to stay in Indiana.
The Indiana Newspaper Union has secured a three year contract for printing the Modern Woodman, the official organ for the Modern Woodmen of America. This is the largest contract ever taken to Indianapolis. It is a twenty page publication issued monthly, with a circulation of 7S0,000, requires five carloads of paper for each issue and twelve mail cars to handle the printed edition. Its mailing will increase the receipts of the Indianapolis postoffice $12,000 per year. For the last three years it has been printed at Lincoln, "Neb.
William J. Bryan's attempts to account for the popularity of President
Roosevelt are simply one of the nu
merous reminders that there ae dif
ferent kinds of popularity; that Is to feay, popularity that takes hold of the hearts of the people in adifferent way from another kind. President Roose
velt has a hold on the people for one
reason; Bryan has a hold upon the majority of the voters in one political organization for another reason. If he has analyzed himself he knows how he has obtained the popularity that he enjoys among a certain class, but never in all his life will he be able to understand how such a man as a Roosevelt can exist, to say nothing of the admiration that such a man as a Roosevelt commands.
President Lincoln's Private Car. Lincoln's private car the car that was built for the special use of the martyred president and that carried his dead body from Washington to its resting place in Springfield is without a home. It is said to be one of "the most sacred relics in America," and yet it stands upon an unused sidetrack at Joliet. Its owner has tried to dispose of it to the Lincoln park commissioners in Chicago, but without success. It stands upon the unused track, in an out-of-the-way place, exposed to the weather. It is sacred, but no one will take the trouble to preserve it. It is a treasure of great value, but no one seems to want it.

Political News. Hon. .Melville W. Miller, assistant secretary of the interior, has returned to his desk from his old home in Lafayette, win re he spent a week visiting relatives and old friends, says a Washington telegram. An effort is being made to get Mr. Miller a place in the government service and it is said that he stands a good- chance of being appointed a special inspector in the land office after he leaves his present place by request Sept- 1. A report has reached Washington that Mr. Miler's friends particularly the old soldiers of the Tenth congressoinal district of Indiana do not like the treatment he has received here and that they are urging him to make the race for the congressional nomination against Judge Crumpacker. When asked about the rumor today Mr. Miller smiled and admitted that there was such talk in his district but would not say anything on the subject for publication. He neither affirmed nor denied, that he would be a candidate against Mr. Crumpacker. Mr. Miller is now devoting his thoughts and energies along the line thoughts and energies along the line of being retained here in the position he is seeking and as the congressional nomination is so far ahead he is rot likely to make any announcement in the immediate future.
Cost of Far East War. Acording to the official "financial annual" of Japan, recently distributed at New York by Consul-General Uchida, the total cost of the war from Feb. 1, 104, to March 31, last, was $673,000,000. The daily expenses were figured at $1,622,000. Computed to date, this would give: Cost to Japan ?1,104,51S,000 Loss (ships and material) 20,000,000 Total war cost 1,124,515,000 Total cost to Russia(est.)l,500,000,000 Total war waste 2,624,515,000 Japan's loans to date.... 650,000,000 Russia's war loans 670,000,000 Japan's yearly interest bill 31,000,000
The Automobile Evil. A big locomotive on a railway track requires Ies; skill in its management than does an automobile, yet every day we see these ponderous machines driven through our streets in charge of boys and girls barely sixteen or eighteen years of age. When skilled autorists frequently lose control of their machines, resulting in fatal accidents, it seems strange that an a to owner would permit his son, a mere youth, to take a load of young reople for a ride of several miles over country roads with which they are unfamiliar. But little regret is felt over the killing of a drunk or reckless auto driver who races through the city and over country roads regardless of the safety of the general public.

Winona Wells. In drillin? for water to turn into the Winona and Warsaw water mains a fine and apparently inexhaustible supply has been struck in a well near the trolley line house, east of the Pennsylvania tracks. The drill was sent down 135 feet and It struck three flowing veins of water. One of the veins was tested and produced sixty gallons of clear, cold water a minute. It is thought that an immense reservoir of gravel and water exists beneath the surface of the Winona neighborhood and a drill only has to penetrate it to get a flowing stream. A new well has been put down at the Leeson cottage, near the auditorium, and a fine quality of water is now flowing into the cement receptacle. Winona Review.
Indiana Ranks Third in Internal Revenue, According to a Washington dispatch, the preliminary report of'Commissioner Yerkes, of the International Revenue Bureau, showing the receipts from internal revenue sources for the last fiscal year-placeslast fiscaj year places Indiana third in the rank of States. The total collections from all internal revenue sources in Indiana during the year amounted to $24,052,244. Although the fact that Indiana ranks third in the list of States seems remarkable, this State for several $ears hitherto has ranked second. Illinois was first and New York third. .This year New York has passed Indiana, with Illinois still in first place. The principal cause of this State's large receipts is said to be the revenue derived from the large distilleries at Hammond, Terre Haute, Vincennes, Lvansville and Lawrenceburg.

Stutesman May Oppose Landis. During a shoit stay in Wabash, Thursday, James F. Stutesman stated that he was contemplating entering the race for Congress in that district, and that he would decide finally in a short time. Mr. Stutesman said he had moved to consider the matter because of the suggestion from numerous influential friends in Miami county that he run. The last time he was a candidate for the place Maj. Steele, divided his county on him, and he failed to m?.ke a strong showing. He thinks now, however, that Miami county will be solid for him, and that he stands a show to win.
Mrs.
VanDine May Be Probation
Officer. Mrs. VanDine, mother of the executed Chicago car barn bandit, finds herself one of the forty on the eligible list for appointment of probation officer of Chicago. She says if appointed she will use her son's story to save the boys and girls. In her interview she gives a telling argument against capital punishment, saying: "t is, after all, little punishment to the man to hang him. The punishment is on those of his family." She favors life imprisonment instead. But the trouble in America is to keep a murderer in prison. The pardoning power often falls to weak men.

The epidemic seems to have started from a stray cat.

It is believed the poison came from trimming toe nails too closely with a knife. He is said io be in a serious condition. Efforts to find his father by telegraph were unsuccessful, as he is cn a lecturing tour, and the boy did not know where he is.
