He recently declared himself favorable to a protective tariff and now he states that he is emphatically oppos ed to government ownership of railroads. J J 0 The provincial government established by Secretary Taft in Cnba seems to be received with satisfaction by all classes. The busine interests of the island prefer 'United States occupation, and the political agitators are in the position of the farmer's deceased wife when the sympathizing pastor asked the sorrowing widower if the good woman was resigned to her impending death. "Resigned!" he exclaimed,' "she had to be." W J J Governor Denecn recently gave some excellent advice to the Bar Association of Illinois. After pointing out the evils of the government and municipal ownership of business util ities and the danger that contniued agitation in favor of such ownership might lead to some costly experi merits, he suggested united effort in securing such reulation and control of public corporations as would remove all cause for this agitation That prescription meets the case ex actly. JJ JH J3 Gam was notified by District Chairman Moorman to call a meeting of the county central committee to meet Congressman Brick in this city Friday, and Moorman came from Knox to attend it. When he got here he commenced inviting Republicans to attend the meeting but when he met Garn and other members of the gang he was informed that they did not dare call a meeting of the com mittce because Hendricks now had a majority and could control the meet ing if he chose to do so. Conse quently all Republicans invited by Moorman were ordered out of the hall when the meeting convened and no Republican was allowed to attend Anyhow every Republican was told to leave the hall and if any remained it is' supposed they were not recog nized by the bolters. J J J Men who have been Democrats all their lives, it is said, wil cast their first vote for a Republican in the coming New York election in the full knowledge and belief that in so doing they are doing the best they can do to preserve the party of their life-long allegiance from utter destruction. This is right. Republicans in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio did the same thing two years ago, and gained a great victory for the Republican party, by wiping out bosses, ring rule and corruption and compelling honest legislation. In several counties of Indiana Republicans can often do vood work for their party by voting for Democrats, and in other counties Democrats can do good work by voting for Republicans It is time to let political bosses know that the people rule. i J Jl Cavalrymen to Leave Iowa.

JONES AND BURKETT SUED.

Gam Asks for Mandate, But Swears that Hendricks Was Never Ousted. Beaten at every point in the courts and all their trickery exposed, Jim Goodrich, assisted by Parks and Moores, has induced Francis Edward Gam to bring a suit against the elec tion commissioners to compel them to immediately place the bolters' ticket on the election ballots under the eagle, when the law says positively the arrangement of the ballots shall not be made until fifteen days before the election. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a few of the false statements to which they have induced Garn to make oath; but Gam has sworn to one thing which is true and which proves beyond all possibility of doubt that W. G. Hendricks has been the chairman of the Republican committee of Marshall county ever since he was elected on January 13, 1906. Francis Edward Gam swears that precinct committeemen must be elected by the Republican voters of their respective precincts at the time designated in January for such elections. This is just what the committee on credentials decided at the regular meeting for the organization of the county committee January 13. In Union township the precincts had been denied this privilege. In two of the precincts the men elected under the precinct rule appeared and presented their claims. The committee on credentials reported that these men, J. F. Gam and Samuel Medbourn, were the regularly elected precinct committeemen. J. F. Behmer and W. S. Easterday who had been chosen by a vote of the entire township instead, of a vote of their respective precincts, were present but did not claim to have been elected under the rules of the committee, in fac: i.:ade no claims whatever to the position of committeemen. When Chairman McCrory called 'for remarks on the report of the committee neither Behmer, Easterday nor anybody else offered any objection to the election of Gam and Medbourn and when the vote declaring them committeemen for Union township was taken there was but one negative vote; consequently no two men in Marshall county have a better claim to the positions of town ship committeemen than J. F. Gam and Samuel Medbourn. Francis Edward Gam now swears this is true. When the pretended meeting to remove W. G. Hendricks was held in February, J. F. Behmer and Mr. Easterday were recognized as members of the committee, and Behmer made the motion to remove Hendricks Now Gam's affidavit proves that Behmer was not and is not a member of the committee, consequently there can be no reason for claiming that Mr. Hendricks was removed at that meeting and there has been no attempt to remove him at any meeting since that time. But Mr. Gam makes another startling statement. He swears that Republican candidates for township offices have to be chosen at a primary election or a delegate convention If this is true Republicans have no township tickets nominated in Marshall county or in nine-tenths of the counties of Indiana ,ana the state central committee of the Republican party of Indiana has given the Democrats of Indiana all the township offices. This is just what we would expect of men who have no more political sense than Jim Goodrich, Carl Riddic! and John L. Moorman, but we will not believe that thirteen mem bers of the committee have marde such a blunder until we have better authority than Senator Parks, Merril Moores, and Ed. Gam. The complaint against Franci? Marion Burkett and John R. Jones is fearfully, and wonderfully drawn; and indicates that more thin one half the voters of Indiana know more about election laws than Parks nd Moores. This suit shows everybody that there is not so much as the shadow of a doubt that Wm. G. Hendricks is the chairman of the Republican party of Marshall county. Extracts from Mr. Gam's Complaint "Relator arers that he has presided at every meeting of said Marshall County Republican Committee at which a quorum of the precinct committeemen were present." "Relator avers that, pursuant to the rules of said Republican State Committee, relator as chairman of said county central committee, and by direction of said county committee, called a convention of tue 'Republicans of Marshall County for the purpose of nominating Republican candidates for all county otfices, which Republican county DELEGATE CONVENTION was called for and met June 2, 190G, and made fhe following nominations." On April 28, 1906 a few of the Marsha1! County Republican bolters central committee met in Kuhn's hall in response to a call issued a few days before by Mr. Gam to fix the time of holding a "rump county con vention" to distribute the poll books and to discuss ot ler matters. Mr. Garn being up as late as two o'clock on the morning of April 28th and having such a "bad headache" was "not fit" and did not attend the meet ing; yet under oath he states that he presided over all meetings of the Republican County central committee. The "rump convention" held June 2, 1906 was a mass convention, so ad vertised in the "rump newspaper" and Mr. Gam called this convention to order and if he knows anything he nows it was not a DELEGATE convention, yet under oath he says it was a delegate convention. Shame on you Mr. Gam, have you no regard whatever for your sacred oath? Sheep for Sale. Thirty-two head of Ewes for sale.

GOVERNOR HANLY COMING.

He Will Speak in Plymouth Tuesday Afternoon, Octobjr 9. Indiana's great governor is coming to Plymouth and the Tribune has been requested to say that he will be here next Tuesday afternoon. He is one of the nation's greatest orators and all around great men whom everybody should hear. The Indianapolis News, an independent paper gives the following as the "Hanly Program." Gov. Hanly's report of the state's business, which he made at Tipton is not to be exhausted in an examination or two. His speech there was precisely a report of the state's business such a thing as should come from a governor and as such going direct to the people. How well it was done, and what a goodly sum of things done it showed we have had occasion to say. But it did more than tell what had been done. It told what, in the governor's opinion, ought still to be done and outlined what he meant to do as far as in him lay. We have spoken more particularly to the insurance work that he thinks is needed. A question of greater importance than this could hardly be presented. If the governor shall be able to reform the abuses that exist in this way in Indiana, strengthen the securities and establish guaranties for the people that intrust their savings to these concerns he will do a great werk indeed; and that he will have populsr suport there is no doubt. In line with what might be called this reform work is the suggestion as to private banking. In spite of the amendment to the law, the governor points out that the law itself is defective, in not providing for state supervision and inspection. This is essential and the law should order it to the most effective degree. It is intolerable that private banks should be allowed to go their way as some are doing. It is against the spirit of the age. Indiana can not afford to foster it. She must have her financial institutions safeguarded with the best. The two-cent passenger railroad rate of which we have already spoken, comes more v.nder the head of advance work than under that of correction. But it is a sound suggestion, Indiana is ripe for it and its prevalence in a territory so thickly settled as ours would be no hardship on the railroads. If the people are wise they will also "pitch their tents" with the governor in this. Equally so they will be with him as to the scandal, disgrace and source of corruption of free passes. He correctly calls its a sj-stem of peculation. Its day draws to a close, but state legislation may follow hard on the subject and wipe out the last trace of it. And here we may properly advert to the governors efforts to make an end of it as far as he had control. Another item on the governor's program is interest on the public funds and state depositories. This too, is in line with the trend of events and in the effort to see that we record ourselves on the right side by proper legislation the people should, and, it is not to be doubted, will be, in full accord with advanced sentiment. The governor pointed out that there was no experimental legislation here. He cited the many states that had already public depositories for public funds and he showed the vast amount of interest that is lost by the methods which we still allow to prevail with us. There is $1-V 000,000 in the hands of public officials in Indiana. Two per cent would yield $260,000 a year to the people an enormous sum that would reduce taxes by so much. And thai is simply the financial side. The side of purer pol itics need only be alluded to. We hope and believe that the coming legislature will see the people de jmanding that an end once for all be made of interest on public money in private hands and the funds be plac ed in public depositories. The Moore amendment to the Nicholson law can hardly be called a part of the governor's program, for it has been enacted. But it was part of his program, and so far as in him lay he got it done a way he has. He declared that its workings for 15 months demonstrated it righteousness and he stood for its retention. Taking the things yet to do as we have enumerated them every one appeals to every gcod cit izen. Every one is in the interest of the average man, the industrious taxpaying citizen. Moreover they represent the best thought of the time each in its way, and not to come abreast of it would leave Indiana be hind indeed.

Those Blundering Rumpers. It has been the main point in the argument of the Rumpers all season, that Mr. Hendricks was illegally elected chairman Jan. 23 because the two committeemen from Union township elected at Postmaster Wiseman's, mass convention were unseated and the two elected by precincts were seated in their stead. Now read lhh over again, please Last Friday Sept. 2S, Congressman Brick had a gum shoe meeting with a select few of his machine in Plymouth and recommended that mandamus proceedings be brought againsi the election commissioners, to compel them to put the names of the "rump" candidates on the ticket under the eagle. Well J. Whiskers Parks spluttered around and then sent for Merrill Moores and the two made a blunder of the order as usual; but the first paragraph of the com plaint completely confirms our action in unseating the two committeemen from Union township. Here is the paragraph: "Relator further avers that the Republican party in Indiana is organized as follows: in every voting precinct in the State a precinct commit teeman is biennially elected by the voters of the precinct at a time fixed by the state central comittee." Note particularly that it says "elected by the voters of the precinct," and not at a mass convention like postmaster Wiseman held. The P. M. had a mass or rather a mob over from the mili tary academy, and everybody voted whether he was Democrat or Repub lican, from Maine, California or In dian Territory, or anywhere else pro vided he voted "right." "The ma chine" has been wrong from the start and has misrepresented matters all summer thinking the public out oj town was not smart enough to catch on. They have made a stool pigeon of poor Ed Gam who 'avers' that he was present at all committee meet ings when we All know that when the meeting was held April 28 he was re ported sick? At any rate he was "not fit" to attend. The three partie? named in an article in last weeks' paper Yockey, Boys and Lou Hes: are the three traitors who started the movement against Mr. Hendricks and are mainly responsible for the tearing to pieces of Republican pros pects for this election. Had they not bolted but worked for the party a? hard as they have worked against it, we could elect as many on our ticket this year as we did two years ago. A lifelong Republican said to me this week, "When I think of a few skunks trying to run the politics of our county by machine for purely selfish interests, I think I won't go near the polls at all, and then I know that four years ago they threw our county ticket away for the congress man, and I guess I'll just vote, against them. They have failed in every point the) have undertaken this year and will continue to do so as everybody does who fights against the right. Their own sworn affidavit at last proves Mr. Hendricks was legally elected beyond a question and all that remains nv is for lie rumpers to admit their cause is lost and get into line and win out yet.

THE PENSION ROLL Interesting Figures Relative to a Fast Decreasing Host. The net decrease in the pension roll of the United States for the focal year ending June 30 last amounted to 12,470, the largest decrease ever known in the history or this country. These facts are brought out in the annual report of Commissioner of Pensions Warner, which has just been completed. In the report the commissioner expresses the opinion that there will be a still more marked decrease during the present year. Death was the principal cause of the decrease of the last year, the number of names dropped on that account being 43,300. Of these 29,208 were those of survivors of the civil war, leaving 066,453 survivors of that war still on the roll. There are still four pensioners on account of the Revolutionary war, one a widow and the other three daughters. The commissioners called attention to the fact that while there has been a material decrease in the number of pensioners, the annual value of the roll is nearly, as large as it was last year, arising from the fact that the ratings of many individual pensions are constantly increasing. Pennsylvania has the largest number of pensioners, 93,829; Ohio follows 93,504, New York, 89,240. During the year 23,028 claims were allowed under order No. 78, allowing old age pensions. The reports shows that in the entire history of the country the total expenditure on account of pensions has been $3,459,800,311, of which only $90,445,444 had been paid out prior to the beginning of the civil war. Of the total $3,239,195,300 was on account of the civil war. The total payment of pensions on account of the Spanish war reaches $15,438,553 up o date. The disbursements for navy pensions during the year were $4,204,004. The Cuban Situation. American intervention in Cuba to day is declared certain. Marines land in Havana to protect the treas ury, iiid Secretary Taft will issue a oroclamation creating himself provis ional military governor, after which a further force of American marines will disembark. Reports reach Havana that the rebels are marching on the city. The rural guards are working with the American mediators to maintain or der. End comes to the Cuban republic through the refusal of President Palma to withdraw his resignation and the action of the moderates in declining to attend the session of congress, leaving the island without a government. Both the Army and Navy Depart ments in Washington are placed on practically a war basis and kept open all night awaiting advices from Cuba. Saw Atlanta Race Riots. E. R. Moore of South Bend, formerly of Laporte, returned Friday from a southern trip, having spent several weeks at Atlanta, Ga., and was there when the recent race riots occurred, a thousand negroes having been taken into custody. Mr. Moore says the danger of the situation was sufficient to satisfy the desires of the strongest advocate of the strenuous life. For obvious reasons the Atlanta papers made their reports of the rioting as mild as conscience permitted them to do. Laporte Herald. Railway Incorporates. The ' incorporation papers of the Winona k Maxinkuclcee Railway company of South Bend, with a cap ital of $10,000 to connect Culver, Artros and Warsaw, have bevn filed with the secretary of state at Indianapolis.

The Good "of

The Store that Pastor Raps Social Set "There would be commotion in certain circles were Christ to come to Indianapolis," declared the Rev. Austin Hunter of the North Park Christian Church Sunday night."It is usual for the 'social set' to arrange for a series of 'swell' receptions and entertainments when a great man comes into our midst, but in the event of the visit of Christ the social set would be strangely at fault. Christ would pass by this self-elected aristocracy and would take up His sojourn with the common people as He did 1,900 years ago. "Society is founded on a class idea and consequently has little place in the world. When men and women cut themselves off from the great current of humanity they make themselves many degrees smaller than they were before, and this is exactly what this aristocracy of wealth, fot lowing in the footsteps of the European aristocracy of blood, is doing A FEW QUESTIONS.
