King Pete will now be better prepared than ever to do a good hard job of reigning. One of the best recommendations for Judge Parker, who is prominently mentioned for the democratic nomination for president, is the fact that Tammany is opposed to him. That certainly speaks well for Judge Parker. Have you noticed that about all the dispatches from St. Petersburg point to victories by the Russians, while in the dispatches from Tokio the Japanese usually have the best of it? The news from the present war is about as unsatisfactory as it possibly could be. The prohibitionists of Indiana are favorable to General Miles for president. The old war horse would no doubt pull as many, if not more, votes as any other man the prohibitionists could name. He would no doubt carry the full prohibition vote besides a large soldier vote. He would give snap to the prohibition campaign. The Chicago Record-Herald says that the Hearst boom has received new backing in Indiana, where pledges of support have been given by chairman Hugh Corbett of the Elkhart county democratic committee, Ex-Mayor Deahl, of Goshen, Chairman Ogden, of Kosciusko county, and Chairman Charles Weidler, of St. Joseph county. The Mormon church, having been driven into a corner by the publicity of the Smoot case, is compelled to do something to make a showing. The head of the church has issued a manifesto prohibiting the practice of polygamy. This is the second time in the history of the Mormon church that it has done the same thing. This last bluff may amount to about as much as the first. — —■ Dr. Edward Everett Hale, although 82 years of age, is active in the work of promoting plans for international arbitration. A supreme court for the arbitration of differences between nations and as a substitute for war is a project that he hopes to see realized. A determined movement toward this end is already under way and plans have been formulated for stimulating public sentiment in this cause, which certainly should appeal to every right minded person.

Mrs. Smith was a devoted Christian mother and a member of the Brethren church 48 years, always living up to her faith in strict obedience to her Master’s will.
