Nebraska might compromise on Pat Crowe for the Senate. He is ? good deal of horse. Anyhow, Teddy hasn’t been ac cased of shooting a calf under the impression that it was a mountain lioi . All those stories about Roosevelt will probably turn out to be inert bluffs designed to frighten the senators and keep them quiet. Mr. Tesla has Invented a nev vacuum lamp. We hope he won’i foreget that we are still waiting to hear from Mars. The Commoner contains main quotations from the lamentations o Jeremiah. They are appropriate enough. M ichigan proposes to tax bacbeloi f $5 a year. To be altogether fair f,irls who refuse eligible offers ough also to be taxed. Six Senatorial seats are deadlocked, and some of them are likely to con’tinue so. How long is the senate to be allowed to block direct elections by the people? The very people who are demand ing economy from congress are tht ones who would kick hardest if th< appropriations for tlieir own local.ties were cut down.

The sale of cigarettes has decreased about four millions in two years. W< knew the pesky little things were un wholesome, but we didn’t think the\ wer " fatal enough to being about tha. much d< cline. Missouri has discovered that sht can bring suit to close the Chicagt drainage canal, but the chances art that she won’t do it. Reports show that St. Louis water is better today than it ever was before. Ir looks now as though there must be an extra session of Congress. Both the Philippines and Cuba are clamoring for action, and it doesn’t seem fair to make them wait nine long months before taking, up theii cases. The shipping bill has beem made a continuous order in the senate, and will be kept steadi’y at thy front un til a Vote has been secured. Now we will see how much fact and how much bluff there is in the representations of its enemies. Evidently the Philippine war it over, despite the elforts of the Demo cratic press to revive it. This being so, the president ought no longer to be left solely responsible for everything done by the government there Congress should undertake its sbari of the work.

raffia Positive IWwSI Woman. A woman has a right to be positive on matters which are matters of personal knowledge and experience. Every woman who has used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for diseases of the womanly organs is positive as to its wonderful curative value, and confidently recommends it to similar sufferers. Women who suffer from inflammation, ulceration, female weakness, or nervous diseases caused by disease of the womanly organs will find a complete cure by the use of "Favorite Prescription.” "Several years ago I suffered severely from female weakness, prolapsus, and menorrhagia, and used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with splendid effect,” writes Fannie Shelton, of Washington, lowa. "Glad I have not needed it for a few years past, but if I should have any return of the ola trouble would surely try ‘ Favorite Prescription.’ I have recommended it to a number of my lady friends. I always tell them to try a bottle, and if they are not benefited by it I will pay for the medicine. In every case they have spoken in praise of it.” I MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG I I ANO SICK WOMEN WELL. |

We hope that in case of war beween Great Britain and Germany, Vilhelm will not be called upon as Emperor to oppose himself as field narshal, and that E J ward will not conceive it his duty to hang him as a traitor if he aids Germany, and Ger many to serve him in the same man ner if he aids England. Germany intends that her navy shall be twice the size of that of the United States in 1906. In view of the narrow margin by which the United States has avoided trouble with Germany on one or two recent oc casions, it might be just as well for this country to do a little extra ship building on its own account. A ship in time may save nine. The chances are that an attempt will be made to hold up the River and Harbor bill unless an amendment is agreed to providing for the beginning of a reservoir system in the west, For years, the arid land states have been voting immense appropriations for the river and sea coast states and tney think it is tipe that they were getting something in return. While it is entirely proper that the United States should retain the con trol over Cuban foreign affairs necessary to prevent it from embroiling itse.f with other nations, still, care ought to be taken to leave no loophole by which the foreign speculators who have bought up the Spanish bonds can use this power to enforce their payment from the island.

The Southern and the Monon.

It is regarded as almost certain that the Southern Railway will soon beopperating trains over the Monon Railway to Chicago. The pronounced activity in Monon stocks within the last few days is taken today as reasonable evidence that the Southern, which long has been keeping its eyes >pen for an entrance to Chicago, is about to absorb the Monon property Both the Southern and the Monon are controlled by the Morgan-Rockefeller Hill interests, and the fact that the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul lines are controlled by the same people, lends additional significance to the 'ikely absorption of the Monon by the Southern. This would mean a strong North and-South combination, operat ing from the Great Lakes through to the Gulf of Mexico without change or r ransfer. Representative Scott, author of the bill providing for the election of county superintendents by popular vote, has withdrawn it from the committee on E location, to which it was referred, and substituted a measure providing that the superintendents of public schools in towns of 1,000 inhabitants or over shall join with the township trustees in selecting a superintendent. The bill was considered at a meeting of the committee and recommended for passage.

The Home School Offering Courses of Instuction through correspondence in nearly 100 different courses, under the auspices of The Indianapolis Press, conducted by a corps of experienced and able teachers, under the direction of E. Benjamin Andrews, D. D. LL. D. t Home School Credits ♦ I Are accepted by Colleges and Univer- f f sities in every State in the Union, and ▼ f students may go to these institutions 4 | and enter the classes regularly, after | | studying at home and teciting by cor- | | respondence with the Home School. | THE FACULTY is made up of men who have written books now used In leading educational institutions throughout the country.

The Shorthand Courses Are taught by the author of the system. He was last year official stenographer for the National Democratic Convention atKansas City, and has a world record. He does not delegate the work to others. but personally examines each student’s written recitation. He teaches the system he writes. He will not undertake to t« ach persons unless, after examining 4beiu. he flu ds them eapisole of mastering the art. The Law Courses Are taugh by men who have written law text-’oiks; some of them on the bench today; otliers professors in colleges of law. The Technical Courses Are taught by practical engineers and architect.-, graduates from theb<st schools of technology in tills country.

Hebrew and other languages, in America’s strongest eductaional institutions.

Not a Quick Method THE HOME SCHOOL does does not claim to be able to impart knowledge to every one alike, whether or not students study and apply themselves diligently. No unreasonable promises are made. No one may acqure an education without long hours of patient study and application.* The instructors do not undertake to teach by means of stereotyped sets ofl ssons sent alike to all students. No lessons are sent to any student until the teacher in charge of the department in which the student is enrolled has learned from the student, by means of written examinations, wbat the student's previous educational advantages have been, and what is the fitness of the applicant for the course in which he or she matriculates. Believing THE PRESS to be one of the very best edited American newspapers, and recognizing the necessity of the assistance of such a newspaper in its scheme of popular education, both as an educational factor in itself and for the facilities offered by such a connection for really thorough instruction at very small cost to the student, the Home School desired to affiliate itself with THE INDIANAPOLIS.-PRESS. Any one who takes any of the courses offered by the Home School becomes, without further cost, a subscriber to THE PRESS for one year from the time of his enrollment.
