Only ths near at 4 sestalsaa la its DREAMS OF EMPIRE Vp in the state of New York there lias been much pageantry and international felicitation over the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Champlain. In reality it might have been the funeral obsequies over the dead dream of empire in this country of the French. Lately there has been some disposition to sing tbe dirge of decadence over the French. David Starr Jordan bad some things to say at Bryn Mawr, and then the .whole battery was . unloosed which occasioned careful assurances of America's friendly feeling to the Republic over the seas from our diplomatic agents. The Champlain celebration is, in its way,, a poetic piece of retribution. " There are those, no doubt, who would point out that the celebration brings more force to the argument that the decline of the French is complete. i ' But the triumph of the French j should be thst their operations are conducted on the largest possible scale. Beginning at Quebec and stretching down the Hudson, the St. Lawrence, the) Ohio, the Mississippi fringing the Great Lakes there were .the French forts. It took a master to plan;, the dream of empire in New France. In contrast is the little) struggling : fringe of English colonies unprotected by their own government in their battle with the New World. That the scheme fell through was not so much due to what we have mostly been taught by Anglo-phobt-aces the decadence of the Frenches to the geographical structure of Europe. The main reason for the failure of the French dream of empire was the harassed home country unprotected by the equal geographical advantage of the channel which secured Immunity for England. The Gallic Imagination which could embrace the whole - North American continent might have happened once and been a coincidence. But within the lifetime of most of us the French in South Africa have gone about their empire building once again as they did in New France. Col. Marchand's litle Journey across Africa to Faahoda. establishing forts and outposts, secured the heart of Africa to the French Republic. There la a little similarity in his exploits to those of La Salle. As once before, England has the fringe France has the empire. Thereupon the Champlain celebration takes on a slightly different light ss do certain remarks on the production of erotic novels for the consumption of English readers. A HOMECOMING Tonight in Indianapolis the Taft Club will tender a reception to the leader of Indiana republicanism returned from his battles against the Interests in the Senate. All Indiana knows by this time, that Senator Bevridge took the part of the people. In this homecoming the whole people, whether democratic or republican, are joining in spirit whether they can attend or not. A little over a hundred years ago when the constitution makers were busy in their plana one of the Pinckneys of South Carolina was much distressed because he was afraid that the senate would not be the stronghold of the wealth of the country. It was his idea that the people would control it. From present developments the gentleman of the constitutional convention need not have been alarmed. ' It has come out to suit his wishes and theories. : Senator Beveiidge la well known all over the country as one who before party, even, Is one who represents and does all he can for the Interests of the people. That recognition has been given him by, common consent. la ttis mono coming to Indiana there

a, & -T.

is a real, pride Is welcoming him back for the very reasons which would have alarmed Pinckney. He is one of the few Senators of whom this can be said.

As shining lights of good sense and courage two places stand out in the news record of Independence day Cleveland, Ohio, and Saratoga, N. Y., where the sale and use of explosives was strictly prohibited and the rule enforced. In Washington also the day was made safe. From every other place of importance throughout the United States, including even SpringHeld, where we are attempting to reform the observance of this national holiday, there came the story of injuries or deaths from the use of explosives, and also of fires caused by the tax, which kspt firs departments on

SHE IS A LITERARY AND SOCIAL LEADER

5T Mrs. Cornwallls-West, known in New York some years ago as Miss Jennie Jerome and then as Lady Randolph Churchill. Mrs. George CornwallisWest was married in 1900 to the son of one of her foremost rivals in England's field of beauty. It was reported that she said at the time she would be "content with five years of happiness." Mrs. West occupies a distinguished position in England's social and literary world. j. . the Jump and Inflicted more or less needless loss. Diamonds and Prosperity. From the Indianapolis Nevi. Cable reports from South Africa indicating that the diamond industry is again running full capacity make unnecessary further assurances from commercial agencies that "prosperity" has begun to show its head. They may very accurately gauge the conditions in the general financial and commercial life, but the barometer that tells of the - restoration of that elusive condition which is called "confidence" is 650 miles in the interior of distant South Africa. It is the shipping desk of the Do Beers Consolidated Diamond Company at Kimberly. This Isolated barometer is so sensitive that it forecasts trouble long before there are any visible indications of tight pocketbooks. Not a Vain Boast. From the Alexandria Gazette. Washington, which celebrated yesterday in a "sane" manner, boasts that not an accident is due to the Fourth of July. Washington, Too. From the Cleveland Leader. Cleveland knows now that it isn't necessary to kill anyone to make a fine, patriotic holiday. Tourist Patriotism. From the New York World. The Incident of an American tallyho party trailing the British flag in the mud in a Canadian city is a text merely for remarks on the vulgarity of a certain form of tourists "patriotism" abroad. It has no bearing on the cordiality of international relations. Save Money. From the Indianapolis News. , The thing for you to do now is to get busy so that you will have an income to be taxed when all the states agree to it. That's true patriotism. TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Well Informed. "Your youngest daughter appears to know more about Europe than all the rest of the family put together." "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox. "Instead of putting in her time catching boats and trains she stayed at home and read the guide books." Airship Scorchers. Some day, no doubt, with feelings proud. We'll aviate, and with a frown Some copper from behind a cloud Will warn up that we must slow down. An Orator's Doubts. "Your speech on the tariff was a masterpiece, said the admiring friend.

Nye Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association. SOME PLAIN WORDS. Young man You bare no right to make love to a girl unless you intend to marry her. And especially you have no moral right to continue your attentions for a long period of time without declaring yourelf- . . T . Because Such a course of action is dishonorable and because you barm yourself by pretending love when yon do not entertain such sentiments. But particularly By your continued courting and unwarranted delay you are guilty of personal wrong to tbe young woman, and you are standing in the way of her future happiness. Youth Is woman's opportunity for marriage. It is her attractive age. If she misses that chance she may go through life disappointed and bereft. You are seen at her side and visit regularly at her house. You are supposed to be her suitor, and the community after a time takes ft for granted you are engaged to her. ; And because of this general belief other marriageable young men stay away. Meantime the girl awaits your proposal. It ought to be forthcoming, and by withholding the formal offer you treat the girl most cruelly. "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. Besides You may subject her to humiliation. Her friends. In Tiew of your actions, are apt to ask her what day the wedding is set for. And thus, besides her personal misery because of your neglect, she is made to suffer mortification been use of your selfishness. What has the poor girl done that you shonld punish her? Particularly dishonorable Is such conduct If the young lady is unprotected If she has no hljr brother to put tbe Integrity of your intentions squarely up to you. no mother wise enough and keen enough because of .her love to wrest your secret motives from yon and compel a formal declaration. Certainly you are not base enough tn win the heart of a good girl merely ta prove your mastery or merely for your sport. . In love matters, as In all others, the only right way Is the open and honest var.. Let the zoaaa woman TrnnT-nrs

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

Events of the week were generally of a favorable nature. Progress is still the order of the day in industrial circles, and many of our manufacturing plants are now running at or near the full capacity. The press of orders for railroad and other constructive work has been so urgent that the steel trade continues particularly active; the output of pig iron during the first half of the current year having been 11,000,000 tons, compared with 6,900,000 tons during the same time in 1908. This does not show a full resumption of old time activity, the record output for the first half of 1007 being 13,400.000 tons; but the result for the past six months certainly indicates most gratifying recuperation. The great textile interests of the country are also In a very satisfactory condition. Owing to the extensive curtailment of production which prevailed last year after the panic, there are few signs of oversupply in any direction; in fact scarcity Is the rule. Prices are high, too high in some particluars, because consumption is being visibly restrained thereby; yet there is a general absence of speculation in the textile trades, and a large distribution of fabrics is confidently anticipated during the balance of the year. In other departments of trade and industry the outlook is also favorable. Production Is rapidly regaining normal proportions; labor is generally well employed, and complaints are few. The country continues, of course, upon a high level basis and there are no Indications of any early change in this respect, for the simple reason that, speaking in general terms, supply has not yet exceeded demand; and the inflationary effect of cheap money is becoming more and more evident. The most important element regarding the future is the crop situation. This too, as a whole, is very promising. The sharp drop in condition of cotton recently reported was a surprise and caused a brisk advance in that staple. Cotton, however, Is a late plant; two months stll remain before full maturity of the crop; during that cTsefy whikl you propose. Let'uolhlng be taken for granted. If ypu do not Intend to marry bee you should not monopolize her. CARRIAGE ACCIDENT Milton, Ind., July 12. Mrs. Jesse Revelee had quite an accident while out in the country driving with her children. The accident happened FTida yaftcrncon near Charles Hale's, west of Milton. The horse stumbled and fell. This threw two of the children, Willis and Ruth out of the carriage. Luckily the horse was gentle and the children were unhurt, save for some scratches and a bad fright. Fashion Is u inexorable in men's as In women's dress. Tbe undergraduate is perhaps the most telling example of this. It was so even a century ago. when Oxford led the way In adopting the new nankeen trousers that were to supersede tight breeches and top boots. Just about that period a don of Trinity met an undergraduate arrayed In all the splendor of the new fashion. "Young man." said the don severely, "you will come to no good. Yon wear nankeen trousers and keep a dog. The young man afterward became Dr. Snmner and bishop of Winchester. London Chronicle. Interested.

time much recovery will be possible, and it should be borne in mind that no crop was ever very seriously damaged by excessive rains, except in the lowlands, the injury there being often offset by the benefit in upland districts to which is rarely a cause of more than temporary disaster. The corn crop continues exceedingly promising, and predictions are still being made for a record breaking ' S.ioo.noo.ooo crop. This is the most important crop of all, not only to our farmers, but to the railroads. The practical certainty of high prices for agricultural products, even should they recede from present levels, means another profitable year to the farmers. It means also heavy traffic for the railroads, and should be beneficial in providing an abundance of feed for the cattle raiser. The government report showed much improvement in the condition of wheat, and the output of winter wheat is likely to prove larger in quantity and better' in quality than at one time anticipated. Corn was reported 6.3 points better than last year and 4.5 better than the ten-year average. Winter wheat was 1.S points better than a year ago and 2.8 points above the ten year average, while spring wheat was 2.6 points higher than last year and 1.5 points above the ten year average. We are also sure of a big hay crop and good oats crop. Prices of all farm produce is very high. In view of the prosepects of a good harvest, it is possible that some recessions may be expected during the next few months, but since no great surplus is in sight, it is quite certain that the farmers as a class, will enjoy another very profitable year. Last year the value of agricultural products was estimated by the department of agriculture at fT.778,OOOjOOO. In view of the larger yield thla year and better prices it seems fair to assume that our farmers will this year realize fully $9,000.000.000 of new wealth, a sum so huge as to almost defy comprehension. This fact goes far towards explaining . the undertone of strength of the stock market Milton, Ind., July 12. -Beeson and Caldwell, shippers at Milton, shipped two car loads of hogs, from Bentonville and one from Beeson's Station, Saturday, to Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Beeson. who has just returned from Colmubus, states that the Drovers' Union Stock Yards, at that place, is opening out in fine shape. He and Mr. Caldwell are interested in the yards and state that they sold three loads of stock from the yards there last week at Up top prices. HORSE JUMPS WALL Milton, Ind., July 12.
