A FLAW IN THE DIAMOND. Marshall has rivaled his former at titude of assertion and denial again. This time his remarks have to do with . the salary connected with the govern orship. In one breath Marshall emitted some buncombe about his JeffersonIan simplicity in regard to the salary of ths governorship and said that he would do with out the "trimmings" as he called the $1,800 which Is appro priated for house rent. It is apparent that Marshall hoped to make votes by this statement. It Is laudable enough In any man to put the service of the people above the amount of money which he is to receive for office. But the very fact that the democratic candidate not only advances this but shouts it abroad on the house tops is a suspicious symptom that he has his eye on the money after all. But his words of a few days later do not bear out the inference he would like to have made current. He said: ' I have not a. dollar of any man's money in my pocket except what I borrowed at the First National bank In Columbia City. And unless you fellows are kind to me in November, IH have to work like sin for three years to pay that back. - From this It seems that Mr. Mar. i shall is not adverse to the "trimmings after all. That a man should targe that he be elected the chief executive of a great state simply because he has borrowed money to secure his election is not & good reason for electing him. Many citizens In

tbis state are in a far worse condition

financially than Marshall- Is that any reason for giving them a job? The governorship represents, "or should represent, more to a man seeking that office than an easy berth. The citizens of Indiana should resent any attempt to make it a means of dispensing charity. It may be a virtuous thing for a man to be compara tively poor, but to seek office with his eye on the sugar plum is a little grasp ing even for a virtuous poor man. The fact of the matter is that the office of governor should not be class ed as a bargain counter. It is not a contract to be awarded to the lowest bidder either. What is needed is not the man who will take the job for the lowest money, but a man who will do the most work for the public good regardless of what the compensation may be. There is plenty of work cut out for a governor of this state and the citizens are willing to pay enough money to attract good men to do it. What ever may be said of Governor Hanly's administration it may be remarked that he was the first man to give vouchers for moneys which passed through hi3 hands. We do not want a man who will have his eye so well peeled for the cash that he is willing to give a discount or green trading stamps back to the state provided it gives him the office. What ever Marshall may say on the subject, he has already straddled it. His statements amount to the same thing. "I will take the job without any "trimmings" and, "unless you fellows are kind to me, I'll have to work like sin for three years to pay it back." Some of the rest of us "work like sin" too, not for "three years" but for more than that. What would a farmer think of a man who put so low a valuation on bis services that he wouldn't take the tenant's house which went with the Job. Would he not wonder what was the matter with the man? If a man wanted to sell you a fine diamond ring for ninety-eight cents and a discount, wouldn't you naturally think there was something crooked with that ring stolen goods or bogus brass? Why is it that the man who asks election so as to pay his election debts wants to throw off a discount? Is there something crooked about Marshall? We have heard of the Brewery Trust, Thomas Taggart and Charles Lamb before. , A LITTLE LIGHT. Mr. Samuel Gompers of the A. F. L. will no doubt attack James E. Watson here at the time of his speech. At Indianapolis Gompers accused Watson of having voted to suspend the eight; hour day in Panama and of having voted against the bill for the creation of the department of Commerce and, Labor. As these are the two points! on which Mr. Gompers has based his fight against Watson and these are the points which he may bring up, it is well to know what Watson's record Is on these matters. The bill for the suspension of the eight hour day in Panama was recommended by President Roosevelt in regard to the native labor employed there it still applies to all American labor. The natives were willing to work longer, they were accustomed to far longer hours, they were acclimated and were working under more sanitary conditions than they ever had before. It facilitated the great work on the canal and it worked no hardship on American labor. It is to the interest of the American nation to have this work done as speedily as possible and the suspension of the eight hour law worked no hardship on any one concerned least of all American organized labor. Let Watson speak for himself: "Mr. Gompers also criticised me for having voted against the slxteen-hour bill by saying I voted for a bill the railroad men did not want and voted against the bill that the railroad men did want. Record shows that this bill was voted on twice in the house and on neither occasion was there a single negative vote. The first vote was 281 yeas and no nays, and was taken on the 23rd of February, 1907, and the second vote, by which it was finally passed was by 234 yeas and no nays, so that I did note for it, as a most cursory examination of the congressional record would have disclosed. "I am also complained of for having ! voted against the bill creating the de partment of Commerce and Labor. Mr. Gompers wanted a separate department for labor, though many other labor leaders thought otherwise, and record shows that when the bill was passed the vote was 252 yeas to 10 nays and that but one of the nays was republican. This bill was passed on Feb. 10, 190S and the work of the department with reference to labor has since been so eminently satisfactory that nobody complains of the disposition that was made of the question. "In other words, I voted with my party on all of these questions, and thus, through me, the republican party is being criticised for its attitude on

these propositions and not my vote alone. I defy any one to show that there was anything in either of these

votes at all hostile to the cause of( labor." It has been the policy of certain per-! sons to call Mr. Gompers hard names for his open devotion to Bryan and hit! attempt to influence the labor vote as he choses. In most people's estl-j matloo Gompers has as good a right ; to his political convictions and his freedom of speech as any other man. If Mr. Gompers can find reasons for attacking Jim Watson which are well founded that also is his privilege. However if Mr. Gompers is to carry the conviction of sincerity and not personal malice he would better use arguments instead of hard names and facts well grounded on the actual record and not distortions of fnacy and ill feeling. The average wage worker when he knows the facts is as fair as the next man and attempts to prejudice him with untruths and half truths create a reaction for the man atacked which Mr. Gompers should realize. There is nothing the matter with James E. Watson's attitude in the labor question, there is no truth in the fact that he opposed Roosevelt's every move. His opponents should if they wish to be successful' and not discredited rely on truth instead of distortion of facts. The use of such methods of attack as Mr. Gompers used in Indianapolis lead one to believe that the truth would hurt the force of his arguments. A JEWELER'S EXPERIENCE C. R. Kluger, The Jeweler, 1060 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy cleared my complexion, cured my backache and the irregularities disappeared, and I can now attend to business every day, and recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy to all sufferers as it cured me after the doctors and other remedies had failed.

h raiar ef Lisht," be i Copyright, 1904. by Edward J. Clod. - - - - - "Oh, indeed! Then where does all your clever scheming come in? Why have you held me back? He went to Sussex. You wouldn't let me follow him. He was out late several nights on his motor car along the North road. I would have met blm and smashed his face in with a life preserver, but you held me back. What are you driving at? What's the game?" "You shall see." Grenier went to a cupboard and took out a small box. From this he produced a single check and several slips of paper on which were written names and signatures. "That Is an old check signed by Philip Anson," he said coolly. "Here 13 his signature repeated several times for amusement. It only needs a man of action like you, an accomplished actor like myself, to possess the necessary nerve the nerve that risks all on a supreme coup and we will be not only rolling In money, but able to enjoy life pleasantly in any part of the world we select, even in London when the wind changes a little." "You must talk plainly if you want me to understand you," said Mason doggedly. "Very well. You think I am somewhat like Philip Anson at this moment?" "His image, confound him!" "No; not his image. I would not humbug bis friend. I might puzzle them for a moment at a distance, but let them speak with me, and I am done. It is sufficient that I resemble him. But the handwriting that is good?" "First class." "There I agree with you. My skill In that direction has been admitted by three bank clerks and an Old Bailey Judge. And now for the coup. If you Intend to kill this young gentleman, you may as well kill him to our mutual advantage. There Is no gain in being hanged for him unnecessarily, eh?" Mason glared at him in silence. "I sec I must keep to the point. We must, by' some means, inveigle him to a place where you can work your sweet pleasure on him. Ah, that Interests you! It must be known that he is going to that place. It must be quite certain that he leaves it." "Leaves it!" "Yes. I, Philip Anson the second, will leave it. I will lay my plans quite surely. I will even telegraph my movements to his fiancee and to his agent, Abingdon, who used to be stipendiary magistrate at Clefkenwell. Now, don't interrupt. You spoil my train of thought Philip Anson will live again for days after, you ha veer disposed of him. By that time you will have established such an alibi that an archangel's testimony would not shake it Then Philip Anson will disappear, vanish Into thin air, and with him a hundred thousand or more of his own money, some in gold, but mostly In notes which will have been changed so often as to defy any one to trace them. As a precautionary measure, he will go out of his way to annoy or Insult the young lady whom he Intends to make his wife, and that alone will supply an explanation, of a sort, for his wish to conceal bis movements. With proper management, Philip Anson should leave the map without exciting comment for weeks after be Is dead, and when the weeks grow into months people will class his disappearance with the other queer mysteries familiar to every one who reads the newspapers. Neat isn't it?" "Too neat You can't do it." "Have you or I evolved the Idea? Who runs the greatest risk, the man who strikes one blow and hides a disfigured corpse or he who calmly faces hundreds of men and says he is Philip Anson?" "I don't care about risk, but if It comes to that I suppose you are the more likely to be found out" "Thank you. You see my way at last In any event you are safe. Even suppose I am discovered, will I split on you? Will I add a charge of murder to one of forgery? Not much! I tell you the scheme is workable, not by timid bunglers, but by clever men. I admit I haven't the nerve to kill anybody, nor would I care to suggest this present arrangement to an accomplice merely to make money. But if you are resolved to end Philip Anson's earthly pilgrimage I can't prevent you, and I fail to see any ' reason why I shouldn't profit by the transaction." "What about me when the thing Is done?" "Oh, you are beginning to appreciate the other side of events. Now, we will assume that Philip Anson has been dead a couple of months and Victor Grenier has amassed a fortune by a sheer run of luck on the turf; it is fairly evident that Victor Grenier must divvy with Jocky Mason or the 1 alter can make the world too hot to hold him, even if an old friend were unkind enough to refuse to disgorge unless under pressure." Mason's brows wrinkled in thought The project sounded plausible enough. Determined as he was to wreak his vengeance on Philip, Grenier's ingenious idea not only offered him a reliable means of escape, but promised a rich harvest of wealth. Certainly it was worth trying. Not once, but many times, during the preceding month Grenier bad withheld the murderer's willing hand. When it did fall, what keener satisfaction could he have than the knowledge that he would be enriched by the deed? "I can't see ahead like you." said Mason at last "But I will obey orders. You tell me where and when; I will be there." Grenier shifted his feet uneasily. "I don't quite mean that" he said. "I will acquaint you with certain facts on which you may rely absolutely. I will forthwith act myself on the assumption that the real Philip Anson ' Irirfsrs,wttJune. That Is all."

He heard she was preparing her trousseau for her wedding, which was to take place in May. A rrianaljr Tip.
