In Touch With Labor.

(From the Gas Belt Labor News.) Indiana is justly proud of Mr. Fairbanks’ record as senator. He was strongly embued with the belief that it was the duty of a senator to give the best thought and energy he possessed to the affairs of the natiop. When he entered the senate he gave up his law practice entirely and laid aside everything that would divert his thoughts from the work he had assumed; hence we find him working between sessions nearly as hard as during the sessions. He has a large, well disciplined bra n that is not swayed by impulses. Cool deliberation precedes all his acts. In this he is much like the late Presiden McKinley. Senator Fairbanks has done more for the individual citizen and community than any senator Indi-" ana has ever had. His influence at Washington is large, and when he sets out to get something he usually lands it. The senator has always been fair and kindly disposed toward organized labor.
