NON-PARTISAN PRESIDENT. Any president of the United States vho has the manliness to come out squarely for the people and fight their battles, as President Roosevelt has, rieserves to be called a non-partisan president. He has been helped in his lisht asainst the encroachments ol predatory wealth by all the people, not by the members of the republican party alone nor by the members of the democratic party alone, but b the xank and file of both of these great parties. I lis victories over Wall street's "system' and its trusted lieu tenants in the senate and house of representatives, nave been won through his ability to concentrate the power of the people behind him. As in the past, so in the future will his further reforms rest for ultimate ful filment upon the way in w hich the peo ple back him up. If they become indifferent and leave the whole matter to be fought by President Roosevelt 41 lone, then the forces of predatory wealth will eventually win out and reverse all the good the president has been able to accomplish so far, bringing back the oht regime of graft and corporate wrong-doing. COURSE NOT POPULAR ONE. The course the Indianapolis- newspapers are pursuing in regard to Senator Beveridge is not a popular one to Richmond and Wayne county citizens. And if the sentiments of our citizens are any indication of the sentiments of other Indiana communities, the Indianapolis newspapers have ta ken the wrong track toward increas ing their popularity among Indiana people. At every opportunity that presented itself these Indianapolis newspapers have "knocked"' Senator Beveridge. .and if an opportunity did not present itself they manufactured one. The "manufacturing" of such opportunities has been taken advan tage of a great deal more just of late. This is especially true in regard to the "knocks' that have been administered to Senator Beveridge over his debate with Mr. Bryan in the Reader Magazine. The Indianapolis newspapers, instead of showing their patriotism to their state and one of its greatest statesmen, have gone out of their way to dolefully wail that they do not believe Senator Beveridge could in siny way hold his own with the brilliant Xebraskan, and that the debate -would prove too large for him. Now. as a matter of fact, we believe the publishers of the Reader Magazine ara every bit as good business men as the publishers of the Indianapolis newspapers, and therefore we do not believe they would arrange such a debate thro-ch the medium of the'r anagari?:-". t r th? cure ' .;.: hs.ii men . -..suLle to slides oi the debate. felt reasonably T ried the best .present both We believe the 3leacler Magazine has secured the two best men in the United States to represent the arguments advanced in the debate on principles of the democratic party and of the republican party. .And this belief is founded upon having read the first two installments of both Mr. Bryan's and Senator Beveridge's articles. Both the Indianapolis newspapers claim to be in the independent field, but we fail to see how thej- are asserting their independence by continually placing Senator Beveridge in a false light to the people of Indiana. Such action Is neither fair nor just and sure to be resented by .ill fair minded citizens of our state. JCor does it show that an independent, spirit is moving these newspapers, but rather that they are allowing personal motives to interfere with their euse of fairness.

Topic for April 14. LESSONS FROM THE PATRIARCHS III. JACOB. There is hardly a person named in the Bible of whom we have so intimate a knowledge as of Jacob. His career is foreshown by prophecy and indi cated by an incident at his birth, and it is no hard task to picture to ourselves the years of keen eyed watch fulness to win all. that he could from the bluff and easy going Esau, until with an over fond and scheming mother to help and spur him on, he at last steals the prize of the birthright from its legal posessor. We may be tempted to say that Jacob was very poor material from which to make a saint; but it is the chief glory of God's love that He takes hold of men just as they are where they are and what they are and if they will only give Him a chance He will lead them up and out into the true realms of manhood, which is being a saint blessed and blessing. "Very human," we sometimes call Jacob and David and others whom God? called for special service and w ho sinned grievously; but let us not dwell too long on sin as an element of human nature. It is, after all, only a defective and a transient state unless we are going to class God as Incapable or impractical, and the cost of it is adapted always to lead the prudent man from continuing therein.

Possibly about 17S0 years B. C. Jacob, apparently between fifty and sity years old, though any definite period is mere guess work. Place.

Jacob and his family. " In order to refresh the memory and gain the connection, it would be well to read chapters, 29, 30 and 31, and 32 1-30. It was poetic justice that Jacob, who deceived his father, should himself have been deceived in having Leah forced upon him. The whole story told in these chapters is a typi cally Eastern one, and indicative of early times. Jacob had two wives and two concubines, and it is taken as a matter of course. It should always be placed to the great credit of Isaac that so far as we know, he had but one wife and ho concubines. The les son opens with Jacob on his way back to Palestine with his family and large possessions. He Is fearful of Esau and the retaliation which he might not unreasonably vent upon Jacob. He sends an humble message to Esau, and then, on hearing that Esau is approaching with 400 men.

Jacob had his retributions and they were of unmitigated bitterness. How often do you suppose he went with shame over that scene of the deceiving of his father during the lonely nights of vigils in the fields with frost and rain as added tormentors? and how like the trick he and his mother had played on purblind old Isaac, was that which Laban played on him in giving him as wife the watery-eyed Leah, instead of the younger and beautiful Rachel. And whether penitence or fear was most active when he was about to meet Esau' in the desert, there is no room to doubt that he was afraid. Guilty consciences are poor armor, and that kid skin mask of earlier years doubtless seemed to Jacob just then a specially vulnerable target; and it was only when buffeted and limping Jacob came with reliance not in tricks and shrewdness , or even persistence but only in the word of the "angel," that he was ready to meet his brother, and to find that God had made a place for him in the promised land. But God was merciful to him, as He is to us all, and Jacob stands today as the pattern of a faithful lover, a zealous and profitable servant, ;and finally of a prince with God and men whose faith cried out, "I will not let Thee go except Thou bless me,"and so prevailed. betakes himself to prayer, feeling that only the arm of Jehovah can sustain him. 9. "Which saidst." Gen. 31:3. He was following the command of the Lord and felt that he might reasonably claim His protection. 10. "Mercies." "Lovingkindness," Amer. R. V. Jacob then compares his condition years before with the present. Then he went eastward with nothing but a staff, and now ha returns with two companies (see verses 7, S.) 11. After thanksgiving Jacob comes 1 to petition. Compare Phil. 4:6. "The mother with the children." A Hebrew phrase, indicating a merciless slaughter. Compare Hos. 10:14. 12. "And thou saidst," etc. Referring to a number of promises. See 2S:14, 15; 22:17; 1G:10. In the verses which are omitted, there is an account of how Jacob, in true Oriental fashion, determines to try to appease Esau by sending him rich presents. 22. The ford where Jacob is represented as crossing is still in use. 21. He wished to be alone and reflect upon the circumstances which surrounded him. "There wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day." Jacob does not recognize who his antagonist is, but so strong is he that not until his thigh is touched and "strained" (R. V.) is he conquered. This was to show that he really was superior to Jacob. 23. Though lamed, Jacob still clings to his antagonist, perceiving

that lie is more than man, and so asks his blessing. 27. "What is thy name?" In liebrew "name" Is not unfrequently used as almost, if not quite in the sense of "character," or "personality." '"Jacob." The name means, "supplanter," the "crafty one," the "over-reacher." 28. "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob." The blessing takes the form'ot a change of name, and in this indicating Jacob's . prevailing over difficulties and particularly over the danger threatened in Esauv "Israel."

V., The struggle with God has just ended; that with Laban had come to an end previously, and .the change of names is a good omen that the struggle with Ksau will end favorably. Compare H03. 12:3, 4. "He could have been no common man who began his career as the 'supplanter and ended it as 'a prince with God. " 29. "Tell me, I pray thee, thy name." "A very unimportant desire at first sight. For what signifies a name?. In these days "when names are only epithets, it signifies nothing." But in those days it meant much. "He

what God is and who. ed by God to know He is that is the battle of Jacob's soul from sunset till the dawn of daj." "If Jacob had got a word, that word might have satisfied him. He would have said, 'Xow I understand God, and know all about him." i He must learn more of God through experience, and also learn that he could never fully know Him. Compare Judg. 17:17. CO. "Called the name of the place Peniel." That is, "Face to God." It was believed that no one could look on the face of God and live. Ex. 33: 20. This struggle is the turning point in Jacob's life. We hear no more of his practicing deceit. Jacob's struggle has been from the earliest t!mes a type of prevailing prayer.

NEBRASKAN REPLIES THAT IN HIS OPINION LA FOLLETTE, OF WISCONSIN, IS THE CHOICE AMONG REPUBLICANS. Chattanooga, Tenn., April 11 A sensational feature of the banquet given here last night by the Bryan Anniver sary Club, at which William J. Bryan was the guest of honor, was the letter and subsequent speech of John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta Georgian, who, in his letter refused to speak because the toastmaster asked him not to talk about his suggestion that Bryan should nominate Roosevelt for re-election. Later Mr. Graves was induced to go to the banquet hall and deliver his speech. Mr. Bryan replied to the Georgian, and in beginning his address he paid his respects to Mr. Graves and what he had said. He complimented Mr. Graves in the highest manner for his honesty and his boldness, and said if there was any place in the world where absolute freedom of speech should prevail it ought to be in a Democratic gathering. Turning directly to the subject 6f Mr. Graves's recommendation Mr. Bryan said: "As at present advised I shall not present the name of Theodore Roosevelt to the national Democratic convention. Bear in mind; I say 'as at present advised.' " Bryan Favors La Foliette. Mr. Bryan contended that if, after mature consideration and reflection and the presentation of the arguments in the case, he should cosider that his duty lay in that direction, he would present Mr. Roosevelt's name if it should prove the last act of his life. He then went on to say that if any Republican was to be selected by the Democrats to head their national ticket, the man should be Senator La Foliette of Wisconsin. t When Mr. Graves was persuaded to take his place at the banquet table he spoke in part as follows: "The things for which we have fought for forty years he (Roosevelt) has been putting intojfearless and effective execution. Since William R. Hearst flung at his feet the challenge to reform in the unconquerable array of statistics which prove the existence and the iniquity of the trusts, the strenuous President of the United States has not failed or faltered in his

Canton, O., April 11 In a speech here last night Senator Foraker discussed published statements regarding the President's attitude toward the senator's speech at this time, replied lJ yuuiicauoii mentioning mm as publication ; one of an anti-Roosevelt combination.

recent railroad legislation, protested against the infringement by one branch of the government of the rights of another branch, declared that the . representatives of the people In Congress are accountable only to the people and are not "properly subject to any other influence," denied the right of any one except his constituents to call him to account and sounded a note of warning against increased surveillance of business men who need no "moral regeneration.". He quoted a published report that "President Roosevelt has drawn a dead-line for Senator Foraker" and that "if he attacks President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt will be heard from in no uncertain tones." Senator Foraker said : Roosevelt Gets First Lance. "That the president of the United States should become personally engaged In a political contest to determine his successor, is without precedent, unless it be bad precedent set by Andrew Jackson as to Martin VanBuren. Tliat he would enter upon such struggle with a declaration that he is to set limitations upon the freedom of speech of those who may differ from him, and that they are to dis regard those limitations at their peril, is without precedent even in the case of Jackson, and is so inconsistent with the dignity of his high office and the proprieties always to be observed that I feel it a duty toward the President himself to enter for him, on my own motion, a disclaimer of all responsibility for such a publication. "The time has not yet come, and nobody knows that better than the President himself, when 'dead-lines' can be drawn in debate for anybody to observe; nor has the time come when any real man would respect them If they were drawn." Mr.- Foraker characterized as a "sort of companion piece" a published statement of "the President to his friends has named as members of the combination to do him up for his atti tude toward Wall street, E. H. Harriman, J. B. Foraker and John D. Rockefeller." Denies Knowledge of "Conspiracy." "In view of this publication," said Mr. Foraker, "I trust I may without impropriety say that until it was given out at Washington a few days ago I never heard tell of any combination or trust, ,or conspiracy to oppose the President in anything; much less did I ever" hear of the so-called five-mil-Iion-dollar conspiracy of which we have heard so much during the last week. I trust I may be pardoned for going further and saying I never saw John D. Rockefeller, but once in my life, and that was twenty years ago or more, while I was Governor of Ohio." discreet and fearless way to find a remedy. Roosevelt Goes Forward. "Since William J. Bryan fashioned the eloquent evangles which went forth from the Garden meeting in Madison Square, the president at Washington has not hesitated to go forward with redoubled zeal and energy in the prosecution of his work. "And in so doing he has vindicated every principle for which Bryan has plead and Hearst has thundered, and has proven himself a publicist and a Democratic Republican who deserves to rank in achievement with the best and bravest in the annals of our immortal party.

RELIEVE THE CONGESTION. SITUATION MUCH BETTER AT LOCAL PENNSYLVANIA FREIGHT HOUSE. It Will Not be Necessary to Bring Outside Workmen to Assist the Local Handlers. The congested conditions at the local Pennsylvania freight house, which necessitated the bringing of thirty-five men here more than a week ago, are relieved according to the statement of a local freight man. Only a few freight cars remain ahead of the men, but these can be easily cleaned up along with the cars coming into the Richmond station regularly. Between fifty and seventy-five cars are backed into the freight house tracks each day, whose freight has to be transferred and the local men have been working hard to unload and reload all cars entering the city each day. Several hundred cars are handled daily in the yards but these do not require transferring, as do those sent to the freight station. CAR MOVEMENT HINDERED. The present cold and decidedly dis agreeable weather has hindered to a great extent the car movement on different divisions of the Pennsylvania centering in Richmond. Owing to the fact that this road during the recent warm weather made great headway on the movement of cars, it is hot thought the present cold will continue long enough to work any material hardship on the freight situation. OH THE LINES WEST. It Is probable that the largest engine in the world, but recently turned out by the American locomotive works for the Pennsylvania railroad, will pass through this city, on some of fst western trains, and local officials have received a notice that the monster will be put into service on lines west of Pittsburg next Monday. The engine is of Pacific, type and after a thorough test on the western divisions, the mogul will be placed in service between New York and Chicago on one of the eigh teen-tour trains. The weight of the drivers will be about 170,000 pounds while the entire engine will weigh about 240,000 pounds. There are other engines which weigh as much, but none has been built of that weight, with high drivers. Speed is the one thing sought by the Pennsylvania officials. EXPENSES TO BE CURTAILED. Local officials of the Pennsylvania have been advised in a statement issued by the board of directors that the company will curtail expenses on account of the recent legislation, and no further improvements will be made except what is absolutely necessary. SUNDAY EXCURSIONS IN INDIANA The Pennsylvania railroad will run its first excursion of the year, Sunday between Springfield, O., and Cincinnati.

The general concensus of opinion in the Richmond offices Is that the interstate excursions will not be run from Indiana points and there is some doubt whether any Indiana excursions will bo run on Sunday. Richmond probably will suffer if no interstate excursions are run In that each year hundreds of visitors are brought to this city from Ohio points, while many local people, who have in the past patronized the Pennsylvania Sunday excursions, will be at a loss.
