lit WILLIAM MACKENZIE. Sir William Mackenzie, of the lrm of Mackentie and Mann, the great Canadian railroad buildera, was born In Klrkfleld. Ont., Oct. 30, 1849. He began life aa a school teacher, but aoon abandoned that vocation to go treat. He was employed as a carpenter and bridge builder for the Canadian Pacific when the contracting lrm of Mackenzie and Mann waa organised and began business. Mr. Mann bad been a woodchopper, a timber cruiser and later a tie contractor. After doing contract work for the Canadian Pacific for some years the firm secured a railway charter of their own, and in 189 built their first mile of railway, from the little town of Olandtone, Man. A tew years later they took over the Manitoba government railway, which gave them connections south at the International boundary. This line has now developed into the great Canadian Northern Railway System, operating a transcontinental line from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with numerous branches extending Into various parts of the Dominion. In addition to being president of the Canadian Northern Railway Sir William Mackenzie has large interests in Other railways, traction lines and many ''other Canadian enterprises of first Importance.

Fighting Sham Battles. "For six years now we have been dissipating our energies over the liquor question. That in Itself is getting wearisome," says the Richmond Palladium, the hand organ of the Indiana liquor system. We have all noticed the strenuous efforts of the booceocracy to change the subject, and cannot wonder at its anxiety over the sort of dissipation the Palladium Is talking about." Marlon Chronicle. Of course this "retort courteous" was expected from the spotless and Infallible editor of the Marion Chronicle. However, the fact that the Marlon Chronicle and its Ilk are among those who are most anxious to keep the liquor question the paramount issue in Indiana should give occasion for serious thought. There's a reason! Maybe our readers can gain an Insight into the motive of such papers and such politicians from the following succinct statement of Prof. Ross, of the Wisconsin University, in his publication "Sin and Society." In discussing the devious methods of Big Business Prof. Ross says: "Let him who doubts where the battle rages mark how fares the assailant of sin. Today there la little risk in letting fly at the 'red light.' What an easy mark Is the 'tenderloin!' Rare is the clergyman, teacher or editor who can be unseated by saloon-keepers, gamblers and 'madames.' Their every 'knock is a boost. If you want a David-and Goliath fight you must attack the powers that prey, not on the vices of the lax, but on the necessities of the decent. If a sworn champion of the right will prove himself a man and not a dummy, let him go up against these." Why is It that such papers as the Marion Chronicle are always titling against the evils of drink, the brothel and their kindred vices, but they are conspicuously silent upon the larger issues that effect the people? Is not the answer found in the analysis of Prof. Ross?
When the Republican party last year, under the leadership of BeverIdge, decided to cast the campaign upon the high plane of Special Privilege vs. The People and attack the powers and vices that are really sapping the vitality of the nation, undermining its Institutions and filching from the people the control of their own government it was such as the Marlon Chronicle that hunjc on the flanks of the Republican party in the capacity of foragers; they fought with an excuse and a complaint on their lips: they used putty bullets, they skulked between the lines, they remained silent in their tents. Why? Because the Interests were being attacked, and the Interests are very near and very dear to such as the Marion Chronicle. When has the Marion Chronicle ever unsheathed its sword and dealt a lusty blow against Big Business? Never! Why is it always playing upon one string the saloon traffic? Are there no special interests in Marion that are trying to get hold of franchises upon unfair bases that will levy an unwarranted tribute upon the public? One would not think so, to read the Chronicle. Yet there is a recollection within our minds that at one time the Chronicle did fight the good fight against over-reaching corporate greed, but that a sudden change in the control of the paper caused it to abandon the fight and raise the cry of "Stop thief" against the saloons. Are we mistaken? We also have a recollection that at sometime in recent years the people of Marion decided they wanted to control their own lighting plant and so voted, but that Special Privilege, by ways peculiar to it, convinced the Marion city council that the people did not know what they wanted and at a secret session the Marion council let a franchise to a private corporation, nnd it was a franchise that did not safe-guard the people in any particular. Are we right? Does our memory play us traitor? Where did the Chronicle stand in that Ight? And why? Did it take up arms against those who prey upon the necessities of the decent, or did it attempt to distract public attention by sounding the alarm that the brewers were attacking the outer gates of the city and rush clattering astride its "liquocratic" hobby horse armed with a tin sword to repulse the invaders, while In secret session its city council was giving away the franchise rights of the people of Marion?
The editor of the Marion Chronicle may coin freak words to his heart's content and apply them to the Palladium or any other paper that is engaged in the fight to prevent Big Business from securing control of this government, as it has secured the control of every other nation that has run its course in the world's history, but it only emphasizes his anxiety to get away from the real issue. He is like the boy, who, caught with stolen jam on his Angers persists in calling the attention of his mother to the horrible robin that is filling its craw with wormy cherries. His solicitude is not to save the cherries or to frighten away the robin, but to escape punishment for his own wrong doing. The Palladium does want to get away from the liquor question. It has no business in politics in Indiana. There are many issues that more vitally affect the people which demand our serious and undivided attention. The state is a decade behind in its laws that affect public-service corporations and in laws that will afford the people of the state the power to operate their own government without the intervention of corporatecontrolled machinery. One of the reasons for this situation, if not, indeed, the main reason, is the fact that we have been dissipating our energies and time over the liquor question. We do not hesitate to say that this situation is created every campaign by Big Business, and that those near the top in the liquor traffic are in sympathy with the perpetual sham battle. The brewer, who is largely interested in public-service corporations, for that is usually where he invests his profits is far more concerned about preventing progressive legislation that will loosen the grip of Big Business than he Is about preventing temperance legislation. He knows that so long as liquor is manufactured and the appetite for it exists, some way will be found to sell it; but he knows if the people get public utilities commission, and the initiative and referendum and the recall of recreant public officials, that the day of Special Privilege is doomed to end. We may even go farther and assert that those who control the liquor traffic are hand in glove with those who are at the head of the alleged prohibition fight, and their game is to keep the liquor problem forever the main issue that will distract public attention from other issues. It is the greatest bi-partisan machine extant, and while they watch the people fight over liquor legislation they are getting control of the government. The very men with whom the editor of the Marion Chronicle is associated make Indianapolis their Mecca and hold long conferences with the hated brewers whenever a legislature gets far enough away from liquor legislation to begin the serious consideration of such laws as the referendum being applied to public-service franchises, or the recall of city officials who disregard their duty to the public in order to "put one over" for some big corporation, or the creation of a virile public utilities commission or
the commission form of government It is ocularly demonstrated every session of the Indiana legislature.
The saloon keeper is the innocent victim of this bi-partisan machine; he is always the "goat." When in doubt give him blue blazes! When some really vital issue begins to loom above the rozon, introduce a bill to soak it to the saloon keeper; everybody is for it! Having soaked him, prepare a bill that will give him more freedom and whenever a child labor law is urged, let all the cohorts of Grant county who are "dry" hasten to the State-house lobby and have some liquocratic representative introduce the bill that will repeal the sumptuary law! Then, sis, boom, rah! Down with the liquor traffic! Look what the horrible saloon keeper is trying to do! Meanwhile the child labor bill is permitted to die in committee or be hacked to pieces during the closing hours of the session while brewer and teetotaler "throw a party"' and sing "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow!" Brother Lock wood has played this game for a long time maybe the unwitting tool of those higher up; Brother Saloon keeper and the small brewer have played It a long time, probably the unwitting tool of those higher up. But the game is getting old. The people are getting tired of awakening every campaign to learn that our liquor laws are not strong enough or that they are too strong, in either event calling for fervid party declarations and a slam bang fight, in which the saloon keeper and the temperance advocate rage and roar, while the higher-ups on both sides sit back, watch the fun, grab the franchises, water the stock, raise the prices, lower the wages, employ the children, grab the rebate, crush the middleman and see to it that, "wef or "dry," the legislature is not controlled by a lot of "agitators" who insist upon "hurting business." Consequently the Palladium insists that we rigidly enforce what liquor laws we have and devote our attention to the powers that prey upon the necessities of the decent.
The La Follette Meeting. The Palladium acquiesces to the action of the members of the Republican county central committee on Saturday, and accepts their interpretation of their duty as members of the county central committee. It is perhaps better after all to hold the meeting under the auspices of the people instead of a political organization, bound by precedent. The present situation shows one of the weaknesses of our political system. The action of the county central committee does not change the opinion of the people in regard to La Follette or the principles he stands for. We do not know what will be the nature of Senator La Follette's talk in Richmond, but if he feels it his duty as a United States Senator to criticise the action of President Taft we should not heBitate to hear what he has to say and then make our decision on the merits of the case. It is only when both sides of the case are brought to light that the best results are obtained. We feel that the members of the county central committee were sincere in their action, but that they are out of accord with a majority of voters of this county.

LOCATING TRUFFLES. The Hunter Weeks With a Trained ps and a Pointed Stall. The truffles looked exactly like white potatoes that bad been very thoroughly dusted with powdered cinnamon. They were the ataa of white potatoes, and they had the white potato's irregular shape. "On the way to the Riviera." said the host.
