POSSIBLY END OF THE LITIGATION

The somewhat celebrated case of Ida Ernest vs the Red Cross Drug Company, in which it was sought to collect damages from the Red Cross Company under the provisions of the civil rights law, because of refusal to serve refreshments to the plaintiff, who is colored, came to a sudden termination in Putnam Circuit Court on Thursday. The case was originally filed and tried before a Justice of the Peace, and judgment was rendered by him for the plaintiff. An appeal to the Circuit Court was taken and .iudgo Rawley ruled that the complaint was not good and therefore could not come to issue in the Circuit Court. Our information is that this is the end of the case, as no effort will be made to formulate a new complaint or amend the one already on file.

found they shall be brought to justice; and no criminal, high or low, whom we can reach shall receive immunity." Why has Mr. Roosevelt become a reactionary? Why has he turned aside from the mighty professions of only a year ago? He no longer denounces from the platform the methods of “the Standard Oil people and those engaged in other great combinations,” or the “ruthless and determined men whose wealth makes the particularly formidable because they hide behind the breastworks of corporate organizations.” The Chicago platform, on which Mr. Roosevelt so warmly complimented Senator Hopkins, is a different affair from his speeches of twelve months ago. There are no noisy threats to punish predatory plutocracy. The interests the president u£?ed to belabor with epithets seem to take it complacently. They show no signs of alarm and hostility. The corrupt men of great wealth are not in jail and they are not attacking this new Roosevelt platform. On the contrary. Wall Street accepts with unconcealed satisfaction the suppression by its author of My Program. Is Mr. Roosevelt a reactionary

An attack of paralysis three years ago, was followed by a first and second, till the fourth stroke, which occurred on the 3d of last April. Mrs. Christie, Romania Pauline Talbott, was born in Greencastle on January 27, 1857 and was the daughter of Dr. Janies and Pauline Blake Talbott.

their death the father and daughter returned to Indiana, settling at Logansport. While on a visit to relatives in Greencastle, she met P. R. Christie, to whom she was married on September 4, 1878. Six children came to them, two dying in infancy. The others survive and were with their mother at the last. They are Mrs. Laura Moag of Indianapolis, George who is with his father In his store, Talbott who is in business in Springfield, Mo., and Ward who is employed in Indianapolis. Beside these are the husband, an aunt, Mrs. E. G. Fry and an uncle. George Blake. The friends who knew and loved Mrs. Christie are numberless. Site was essentially a home woman, passionately devoted to her family and living for and with them, yet Her marvellously attractive personality drew to her all who came in touch with her. She had a wonderfully sympathetic, tender nature which won confidence and love. To one who remarked of Mrs. Christie that her unselfishness and sympathy were the secret of her power of making friends a more intimate friend said. “It was that, but it was more. She had an unfailing optimism, which came from a deep unwavering faith in God and this hopefulness which always said ‘It is far the best’ was the secret of her power.” Mrs. Christie’s neighbors and friends were the constant roceipients of the overflow of her thoughtful kindne's, and those who came to her for sympathy and counsel were never refused. She was devotion itself to her family, and her beautiful Christian life was lived out among them. Her worn Bible is an eloquent testimonial (o her love for the book, and her steadfast faith in God was the source of her quiet strength in the presence of illness or trouble, as well as a constant inspiration to others. Lowell's beautiful words are expressive of her unselfish spirit: "She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone or de-

spise.

And naught that sets one heart at 0

ease,

And giveth happiness or peace Is low-esteemed in her eyes.” She had been a member of the Presbyterian Church, and a most loyal and devoted one she was, since her early girlhood. The funeral services were held on Sunday at 3:30 o’clock at the Presbyterian Church. Owing to the illness of the pastor, Rev. VanDye, Dr. J. S. Hoagland will conduct the service.

Indiana’s Special Session. There are many indications that the remarkably good luck which attended the Republicans for a number of years has forsaken them. The singular unity which for a series of years they have preserved at election time, even if they were discordant at other periods, seems also to be at an end. Dissensions agitate the party in many States, and it seems impossible that it should not lose largely at tile coming elections in consequence of local quarrels. In New York, for example, the fight for and against Gov. Hughes appears certain to hurt both the State ru 1 National tickets. There are many voters who make their support of the party dependant upon the "enomination of the Governor. But there are a great many others whose opposition to Gov. Hughes is so determined that they do not hesitate to say that they will not support him, but will withhold their support from Mr. Taft in case Hughes is nominated. So there you are. The party stands to lose votes either way, and the chances are that it will lost a great many. The party opposition to the guaranteeing of bank deposits is made ridiculous by such action as that of the Republicans of Kansas in declaring in favor of It, and there are other States where the sentiment is similar. In Indiana the Governor has called a special session of the Legislature for September 18. Now it happens that a session of a State Legislature is always calculated to stir up strife, particularly in the party in power. A special session is always viewed as a misfortune, though sometimes it is unavoidable. Before calling this session Gov. Hanly had a conference with the Republican leaders of the State, and they all, or nearly all, thought it inadvisable to have the Legislature assemble in the midst of a heated campaign. The session may last until after the election, and it is pretty wire to cause complications of a serious character in the race for Congress and presidential electors. The race for the hitter has already been regarded as

close and doubtful.

Tt will be observed that the mot'ves of the Govern r in calling the special session are questioned. Several matters are mentioned for the Legislature nt a special session IS not confined to the passage of bills on the subjects mentioned by the Governor. The whole range of legislation is open to it, and it may pass bills on any subject upon which it could legislate at a regular session. This does not merely permit legislation of a character which the Governor does net desire, but it enables enemies of his favorite measures to antagonize them by paying attention to a number of the matters concerning which no new laws are really needed. It is a common legislative trick to avoid legislation on certain subjects by devoting attention to certain other matters which are introduced to serve as an excuse for neglecting matters concerning which new laws are desired by some of the people but opposed by influential members of the Ceglslature. The prospect of the carrying of Indiana by the Democrats, which was already good, is much improved

by this extra session.

an will be the next president of the United States.” The Democratic presidential candidate of four years ago made something like a dozen speeches in Pacific coast states and everywhere he spoke he was greeted by tremendous audiences. The speeches of Judge Parker for Bryan and Kern have been one of the features of the campaign. “I have been traveling through the western states since the Denver convention,” was Judge Parker’s observation, “and I find the Democrats well united, while nearly everywhere there are Republican fights, which will mean Democratic success. Information that I have received makes the situation very hopeful in New York. Tammany is a unit for Bryan and I feel confident that he will carry the state. It seems to me that, conditions are ripe for an old time Democratic victory this year. The Republican full dinner pail is empty, union labor is with the Democrats, and the conservative element

will support it.

“There will bo a hard fight in California. but Bryan will surely have Oregon and Washington. The Independence league founded by Hearst. is not making much headway out on the coast or elsewhere. The socialist ticket will get more votes in San Francisco than the Independence league. In New York the Democrats elected Hughes two years ago because they did not want Hearst. This year it will he different.” The news that comes from New York is very encouraging to those on duty at Democratic headquarters.

Notice

Petition to Improve a Highway.

Would Not l>e Hied.

Judge Frank S. Roby, of the Indiana Appellate Court lias written a letter to Oeorge Dinwiddle, who lias charge of the assessments for the Republican State Committee, flatly refusing to pay $200 as a campaign assessment. Notice of the assessment was sent to the Judge and he paid no attention to it. Another notice was sent, in which he was re minded of the fact that the assessment had been fixed and that a letter asking him to remit at once had

failed to elicit a reply.

This letter Judge Roby answered by saying that he denied the right of the committee to say what sum he should pay toward the campaign, and, above ail, no political party should invade the Courts of the state and drag them into politics. In a concluding paragraph the Judge said that he had not the honor of an acquaintance with Dinwiddle. but he judged from the reading of his letter they would soon meet and become acquainted. He added that if Dinwiddle should visit him he should take care that the meeting did not take place in a dark alley or

a secluded place.

What Parker Thinks.

Judge Alton B. Parker who has been traveling through the western states since the Democratic convention said on his return east that in his opinion, “William Jennings Bry-

What is the situation here in Indiana Under a law passed by the last legislature, the governor was relieved from service on the state tax board, of which under the old law, he was ex-official chairman. Under the new law the secertary is chairman of the state tax board. Frederick A. Sims is secretary of state, and he is not only chairman of the tax board, but he is chairman of the Republican state committee, having been put in that position when James P. Goodrich found that he could not serve* Why was Sims, chairman of the state tax board, made chairman of the Republican state committee? The tax board fixes the valuation of the property of the railroad, the express companies, the pipe line companies, the transfer and telegraph compaies, the transportation companies, the interurban companies, and so forth. Was it to get contributions from those corporations that Sims was put at the head of the Republican committee? Is he, like Upham and Smith of Illinois, expected to get “slathers of cash” by being “sufficiently tactful" with the corporations whose taxes are arranged by the tax hoard? And if so, won’t these contributions come out of the pockets of the people? From every point of view the situation created by the Republican managers is scandalous in the extreme and calls for a rebuke at the poles so overwhelming that no party will ever again resort to such methods.

The sale of 20,000 tons of steel rails at $20 a ton to a Harrlman railroad in Mexico is a timely illustration of how the Dingley tariff works. In the home market the price of steel rails is still being maintained at $28. Railroads which need material must come to that figure or withhold their orders until business looks up.

It is observable that the Republicans have not taken the offensive. Their attitude is one of apology and uncertainty. The Democrats are doing the fighting while the Republicans are doing the running.
