RIGHT TO THE POINT Republican Editor Will Keep His Dollar.

The Empire, a Republican newspaper published in t 'on cord I a Kansas, printed the following pointed editorial last week: “We have been Invited to send a dollar contribution to the Republican campaign fund that is being raised by popular subscription and to which President Roosevelt recently subscribed. Ws would like to have our dollar in atich select company, all right, but we’ve done all the contributing we Intend to this year “We recenlly have completed building a house at a coat of something over $4,000, and for every foot of lum her, every pane of glass, every sack of cement, every pound of nails, and In fact, for nearly every bit of material that went into It we made a good, liberal contribution through the trusts that control them, and we guess we hove done our share. "It may be treason for a Republican newspaper to talk this way, but facts are facts, and it sort of relieves our conscience to tell the truth about the trusts once in a while. We’ll just let the several trusts to which we have had to pay unwilling tribute in the last year pay our dollar for us. We need It and tney don’t.” The views of the Kansas editor make Interesting reading and are very much to the point. In the same connection it Is recalled that Charles S. Hernly, ex-chairman of the Republican state committee, a short time ago made the following remarks: “Everybody is for tariff revision except the protected Interests and a few politicians. Representative Watson wanted to make a stand pat speech in congress, but he knew that he did not dare to do so. The speech which Charlie l.andis made, sounding the stand-pat slogan, will cost him thousands of votes There Is only one side to the tariff question When steel rails sell for $28 a ton In the I’nlted States and $18 a ton In Canada it is time something is done. If any doubtful person wants to be convinced of the necessity of revision let him study the tariff on lumber and building ma terjals generally. The time has actually come when a poor man cannot build a home for himself because he cannot pay for the materials that enter Into its construction.” But Mr Hernly and the Kansas editor are not the only Republicans who have spoken their minds. Before the Oyster Bay conference settled upon ’’stand pat” as the campaign war-cry. Congressman ('. B. Landis bad made his speech committing himself to the trusts. Of that speech the South Bend Tribune, not long ago the mouthpiece of the Republican state committee, said: “Charles B. Landis has boldly and arrogantly committed himself to the stand-pat theory. He made a speech in the house, in which he openly and strongly declared himself against tariff revision. Mr. Landis may understand his subject well, he may he satisfied in his own mind regarding the tariff, but when he declares there Is no sentiment In this state favoring revision he makes a mistake” After the Oyster Bay conference and the adoption of the “stand pat” slogan the Rising Sun Recorder, Republican from away bark, said this: “About everybody in Indiana, we assume, favors a revision of the tariff and wliat is called the ’stand pat’ policy has .no friends among the masses of the people. No matter how many consuliations am held, at Oys ter Bay or elsewhere, the fact cannot be downed that tariff reform Is necessary and cannot be postponed much longer. It will be wise to heed the demand.” These arc only samples of the disturbance In the Republican ranks, and It Is not much wonder that the campaign managers are looking wildly about for new “Issues." Pearls and the Steel Trust. The Indianapolis News printed the following item the other day: “Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation directors, paid $31,800 duty on two pearls which he brought with him from France. He announced that they were a present far Mrs. Gary, who is especially fond of pearls. The pearls are worth $53,000.” As the head of the steel trust. Judge Gary can doubtless buy pearls for $53,000 and pay $31,800 duty on them without'Cramping himself. The Ding ley tariff “protects” the steel trust for the benefit of Gary and his associates—Carnegie, Frick. Schwab, Corey and the rest. It is estimated that the steel trust—which /ells its products cheap abroad and high at home, will clear $160,000,000 this year. That Is something like 31 per cent on the "real money” invested In its business. The people "pay the freight” and like wise the duty on Gary's pearls, to say nothing of the costs of the numerous divorce’ suits of the steel magnates.

SAMPLE TOMMYROT. ' AH the time remember that the election of a Democratic congress would tie the hands of President Roosevelt during the remaining years of his term. No good citizen should I desire to see President Roosevelt cm barrassed.—Lafayette Journal (Rep.). Nonsense! Who was It that tied the hands of President Roosevelt during the last session of congress? It was members of hfs own party and he had to call on Democratic senators foe help. Who was it that “embarrassed' 1 him? The same class of Republicans In congress And their opposition would have been fatal to all attempts at reform legislation If it had not been for the support which the Democrats freely gave to Mr. Roosevelt He proved ungrateful, but that does not change the facts. A Democratic con gress will vote for all measures that are In the interest of the people, whether Mr Roosevelt is for them or against them. Besides, the present congress will last until March 4, 1907, and as It has an overwhelming Republican majority, It can pass any bill that it wants to pass before the Democrats elected this fall could get a “look in.”

IT IS WORKING DESTItI'4TIO\

fruit Growers of the t'oiintry Are Worrying About Getting Rid Of It. A Remedy.

IMPOSING ON THE NEWSPAPERS A recent “special" from Indianapo h's whii li appealed In several of th< state newspapers, contained some notably false and misleading statements. In order to show that the pur pose of the writer is solely to serve the Republican party a part of the “special" is here set out as follows: “Democratic leaders admit tha. there is not the demand for Bryan in Indiana that there was prior to Ms Madison Square Garden meeting Up until that time Secretary Reilley was besieged with requests from all pait of the state that Bryan be sent to aid In electing Democrats. The requests now are few and far between. Repul) beans say that the tailing off in the demand for the Nebraskan Is stgnifi cant, it means, they say. that the people of Indiana will not stand for his government ownership ideas. It is quietly admitted that, Bryan’s new issue will have a marked effect on the present state campaign. This ts con ceded by Democrats and Republicans alike." There Is no truth whatever in the above statements. The demand for Mr. Bryan from all parts of the state has not fallen off, but it has grown to overwhelming proportions. Mr. Bryan has no more made “government own

“At the present time there Is no greater menace to fruit growing in Indiana than the San Jose Scale, (pronounced San Ho-zay ( ) says C. G. Woodbury assistant hortlcukurallst of Purdue university. “The scale has already been reported from about half the counties In the state, and there are doubtless many infested localities where Its presence Is yet unrecognized. The rapid and alarming spread of ithis pest, together with the great variety of plants upon which it feeds, makes its eradication a matter in which every fruit grower and nurseryman must be vitally interested. “The presence of the scale may be first deteeied by the general sickly and unthrifty appearance of the affected trees. Upon a closer examination. the bark may be seen to be coated with a rough, ashy gray deposit. Upon the young and tender growth of the apple and pear and upm the fruit of these trees, the scale causes blight red discolorations about an eighth of an inch in diameter. At this time of the year the -cale on the fruit Is very conspicuous. The gray coating on the limbs is !ue lo the continuous layer of insect bodies. Each one about the size of •i pinhead, and each Intent upon sucking the juice from the living tissue of

the plants.

“The winter Is usually passed in a half grown condition. When the weather gets warm in the spring the .itmature scales begin to grow and luring tlie I i ter part of May or early Iune the youngscommence to appeal. I lie females bear the young alive and six or eight are born daily for sev:tal weeks. In about five weeks the ut'st born begin to reproduce. The rapidity with which this insidious pest spreads Is not to be wondered at when it is realized that a single pair ■ n a single season have progeny to Ihe number of a thousand million. For about a day after birth, the young which are a sulphur yellow’ color and barely visible to the naked eye, crawl about looking for a favorable spot for beginning operations. During this stage they may get upon the feet of birds, or upon larger Insects and are readily transported to hitherto uninfested localities. By the end of twenty-four hours the young have become located and the scale begins to form over their backs. This is at first pure white, but later becomes gray or black. Reproduction

statements Mr. Bryan would prefet ownership of the railroads by the government rather than ownership of the government by the railroads, as most other persons would, but like most others he favors effective public supervision and regulation rather than

public ow nership.

The effort of the Republican man agers to draw attention away from their scandalous alliance wvith th< trust, ami from their dishonest and wasteful management in both the national and state governments shows how badly scared they are. Whenever they resort to methods of which the above mentioned “special” is a small sample the people know that the Re publican politicians realize that defeat stares them in the face.

Postmaster-General Cortelyou, whe Is also chairman of the Republican national committee, went to Oyster Bay to see Prcsidimt Roosevelt the other day ami was there asked con corning the report that he might be a candidate for governor o*f New York. Mr. Cortelyou said in reply: “You may quote me as saying that t am. as postmaster-general of the United States, engaged In efforts to Improve the postal service. When 1 am a candidate for any office 1 will say so.” But not a word did Mr. Cortelyou say about returning to the widows and orphans the hundreds of thousands of dollars slolcn by the officials of thi New York insurance companies and given to him for use in the 1904 campaign.

Remedial measures in the shape of diluted whale-oil soap sprays may be taken during the summer against the larvae for the purpose of holding the scale in check, but it Is to the more caustic washes, which require to be applied when the tree is dormant, I that we must look for its eradication. “The best and cheapest of these b- the lime-sulphur wash and is made as follows: By using at first a small quantity of water mix 15 pounds (lowers of sulphur Into a thin paste. Slake 20 pounds clean stone lime In tbout 10 gallons of hot water. While boiling violently from the slaking, stir in the sulphur. Then add 15 gallons more of hot water and bull “■oi one hour. Dilute to 50 gallons md apply while warm. In badly infested orchards two applications are ecommended, one In fill after the eaves have dropped, another In spring just before the buds open. Be -nre to cover thoroughly every part if the tree above ground. The limesulphur wash in addition to Its effecIvrness against the scale Is a valuible fungicide and the spring spray ng will replace one application of Bordeaux mixture. The secret of suc■css in its use is thoroughness In puting It on.”

Of course the Landises are “standpatters.” Charles B. is a member of congress: his brother Fred Is likewise a congressman: Kcneaaw M.. an other brother. Is a United States judge in Chicago, a life position; Walter, a fourth brother, is postmaster at San Juan. Porto Rico: Charles B.’s son hi a cadet at West Point. All in all the

Court House Directory. A needed adjunct to the comple lion of the court house Is a “Court House Directory.’’ A stranger In the court house does not know the location of the different offices and Invariably he has to hunt all over the building or stop some one In the corridor and ask the location of the office sought. A directory giving the location of all the offices and different rooms of the court housff placed in the lower corridor of the building would be a valuable addition to the new temple of justice.

ALIFK’ATI4>\ OF ELECTORS.

Some Earls Worth Rr me mix’ring About the Electiou Laws of Our State.

As usual on the near approach of in election voters are changing locaions with the understanding that all ibat is necessary is to live in a township thirty days before the election. Persons who move beyond the boundary of tiheir township after the 7th day of September will lose their votes and those who move from one precinct to another in the same township after Sunday, October 7th, will uave no right to vote at the coming election. In order to be a legal voter in Indiana one must live in the state six months, in the county or township sixty days and in the precinct in which he intends to vote at least thirty days prior to the date of election. Men who expect to vote and want to move from one ward to another may do so until thirty days before the election, even if the law does state that a voter shall be a resident of the ward sixty days before the date of election. The ward feature of the election law applies only to the city elections and not at all to the county elections. The law specifies rhat a voter must be a resident of the sta-te six months, i township or ward sixty days and a precinct thirty days before he is entitled to cast his ballot. In the county and state elections the ward feature Is stricken out, but the residence in the state six months, a township sixty days and the precinct thirty days must be closely observed for the I'lection which will take place November f>. While the voter may move from one ward to another until thirty days before the election he can not move out of the 'township or his vote will be disqualified on the sixty-day clause He may move into another precinct in the same township only, and after thirty days before November (!, this privilege will be cut off from those who want to vote.

A GOOD MONTH’S BUSINESS

Well

Tlie Traction Line Starts off With its Road to Dan-

ville.

Sunday night closed the first month's business of the Indianapolis & Western traction line, the first cars having been run on Saturday, September 1. From the amount of business handled it appears that the new line started off well. With a three hour schedule and the accommodations none too good, the amount of ticket sales from Danville was $1,047 for the month. This does not include the money paid In cash fares, the sales from the Indianapolis station nor w’ha.t was sold to passengers picked up along the line. Agent Dalton, at Danville, estimated that the total would run up well over $3,000 for the entire business. What it would have been had tthe cars run on an
