Senator Hemenway of Indiana will probably be elected as the western manager of the Taft campaign, with headquarters in Chicago. The senator is a long-headed politician with a thorough knowledge of western politics. He is said to be Taft’s personal choice for the place. Congresc man Richmond Pearson Hobson continues to talk significantly about a war to take place between Uncle Sam and the mikado. How he finds out all of these things nobody knows. He seems to have some mysterious source for gaining information that nobody else is next to. The world would be happier if people were a little more generous with their praise. There is too much flattery but a word of just appreciation would cheer the heart and strengthen the hands of many a discouraged worker in the home, in the school, in the church, and in the world. —Selected. The coming presidential campaign promisaa to be the keenest, closest and hardest fought campaign ever known in this country. While the Taft forces and the Bryan forces each seem invincible, yet one of them must go down in defeat, but it can hardly be a severe defeat in any event. There is not likely to be any “landsliding” this year, The opportunity is at hand for some legislator, a protective legislator, to pre pare a bill regulating the sale and use of fireworks in Indiana, says the Indianapolis News. If we can cut off casu alties on the 4th of July and prevent railroad accidents all the year through there will be a considerable lifting of the burdens of life from widows and orphans.

have astrong ticker 1 in William J. Bryan of Nebraska and j John W. Kern of Indiana. The ticket is well proportioned geographically and the candidates are among the cleanest j and most popular men in the democratic l party, One thing is certain, that no ' matter which party wine this fall, 1 whether it is the republican or the democratic, the nation is assured of having good, honest, moral men at the head of its affairs, men in whom the people can repose full confidence and unclouded trust. Rutherford B. Hayes was not the first republican president to invite a democrat (David M. Key, of Tennessee) into his cabinet, says the South Bend Times. The first republican president, Abraham Lincoln, established that precedent when he made Edwin M. Stanton, a rockrooted Ohio democrat, his secretary of war. President Gen. Grant honored John A. Rawlins, an Illinois democrat, with a seat in his cabinet, as secretary of war. Furthermore, A. T. Ackerman, a southern democrat, served as attorneygeneral under Grant’s administration. But Roosevelt enlarged on this by choosing three democrats as cabinet officers —Bonaparte, Straus and Wright. VIEWS OF THE PRESS. Good roads or no free delivery is the ultimatum of the poetoffice department. Rural patrons of the mails should take notice and stir up their highway officials. —South Bend Times. Trade journals are pointing out that this is a good time to build. They claim building material is cheaper, labor easier to obtain, plentiful and less exacting, while it is said to be more efficient. —South Bend Tribune. Gary, head of the committee which manages big steel interests, is full of confidence that the business of the land is such as to give assurance there will be a speedy resumption of work in all lines. His remarks before starting for Europe are the kind that inspire men to take action. —Canton Repository. Chicago is said to have a barkeepers’ and saloonkeepers’ total abstinence society with a membership of 2,000. By setting their patrons a good example they may succeed in putting themselves out of business. —Chesterton Tribune. The appointment of Luke E. Wright of Tennessee to succeed candidate Taft as secretary of war marks a marvelous change in public sentiment. Wright is an ardent Democrat and is an ex-con-federate officer. Imagine the selection of a Democrat, ten years ago, to a place in the cabinet of a Republican president ! Party principles are as marked as ever, but manhood and true worth is coming to be more and more recognized, regardless of party affiiliation —Starke County Republican. It is well within the range of possibility that steps may be taken to curb the ambition of builders of skyscrapers. The principal objection urged is the inability to cope with fire in the enormously high structures. The possible effect of even slight earthquake shocks is also being considered. There are certain factors of wind pressure which demand attention, the compression co efficient and stresses are beginning to cause some anxiety, and the disintegration of steel is not forgotten. —Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. i And Eke a Lawn Mower. ; It takes push, even to trundle a wheelbarrow. —Manchester Union.

mry'Tr yrimriririrs 5 u s‘jtsw |four counties! r ’ News of St. Joseph, LaPorte, Starke and “s U Marshall Counties Boiled Down. 3 James C. Fletcher of Knox was a delegate to the Denver convention. A Mishawaka young lady lost the first finger of her right hand recently by catching it in the door of a Winona interurban car. An underground “blind tiger” was recently raided in Mishawaka in the cellar of Adolph Coppens’ residence. The proprietor was made to pay a fine and costs of $67.95. Roloff and Garwood, LaPorte grocers, have made an assignment. Liabilities $1,500 and assets $2,000. A large number of accounts and poor collections are the reasons given for the assignment. The democrats of Marshall and Kosciusko counties will hold their joint senatorial convention at Plymouth July 23 — the same date of the congressional convention. Harry Grube of Plymouth is a prominent candidate for the nomination. Architects are drawing plans to add two stories to the Oliver opera bouse building in South Bend. The enlarged structure will in no way change the theatre itself, which was entirely remodeled a few years ago at quite a heavy cost. Prof. A. E. Reynolds, formerly an instructor at Notre Dame university, has given up educational work to take charge of immense tracts of land in Utah to which he recently fell heir and which are said to be worth from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. The balloon at the Culver Fourth of July celebration struck a guy rope in its ascension and the parachute was cut loose. It fell to the ground thirty feet below without opening, dashing the aeronaut on the ground, and seriously if not fatally injuring him. Angered by an alleged insult thrown at him by a Pennsylvania brakeman, Telegraph Operator Miltenberger, who is employed in the tower at Plymouth, thrashed the offender and finished up the job by whipping the conductor, fireman and engineer of the same crew. The operator has been suspended for thirty days. The North Judson News says; Albert Roubick, who is confined in the county jail at Knox on the charge of murdering Emil F. Kvasnicka at bis country home near this city, is anxiously awaiting hie trial which will come up at the October term of court. Roubick has but little to say now but it is believed that he will make a complete confession and tell everything he knows when placed on trial. BANKS’ TREASURES IN HOTEL When Moneyed Men of Maine Feared for Their Gold. For two years, from 1812 to 1814, the treasure of all the banks of the

Forest City lay in the parlor of the Marrett house in Standish village, and as evidence of the fact to-day upon the parlor door can be seen the huge lock which was placed there nearly a century ago to add safeguard to the treasure. During the war of 1812 the bankers of Portland thought their treasure was in danger of being looted by the British forces, and in casting about for a safe place their choice fell upon the town of Standish and the Marrett house as a depository for the treasure. Loaded upon a six-ox cart and guarded closely, the money, thousands of dollars of it, was transported 16 miles and deposited in the place of safety, where it remained for two years with a guard of but one man to watch it. The door of the parlor in which the money was placed was re-enforced by a heavy lock having a brass handle, and extra supports were placed under the floor of the room to sustain the enormous weight of wealth. The house is still owned by descendants of Rev. Mr. Merrett and is one of the oldest of the town—Lewiston Journal.
