Watson will be honored with a seat in President Taft’s cabinet, and that he is likely to be placed either at the head of the navy or of the department of labor and commerce. According to present returns from congressional districts the republicans will control the next national house of representatives, having a majority of 41. The democrats gained nine congressmen by the recent elections. Congressman-elect H. A. Barnhart of Rochester will begin his duties as congressman in about three weeks—at the opening of the session in December—he having been elected to fill the late A. L. Brick’s unexpired term as well as the regular term. John W. Kern is an active candidate for United States senator and he is being helped by a large and enthusiastic fallowing. Os all the democratic statesmen mentioned for this high honor none appeals more strongly to the people than John W. Kern. To grow old gracefully, to And the heart becoming more mellow with the passing years, is something everyone should seek after. Such a life’s evening is like a lovely sunset whose parting rays and glorious tints fliod the earth with beauty. In its issue of October 2 the Independent ventured the following political forecast and happened to hit it right: "If the Independent were a sport it would not be afraid to bet that Marshall will be elected governor of Indiana and Taft president of the United States,” The number of states that voted one way on national issues and another way on state issues shows that people are becoming more independent of party control. The increasing size of this vote adds to the uncertainty and anxiety with which party managers carry on a campaign. As the Indiana legislature will have a democratic majority on joint ballot a number of the prominent democrat* of the state are casting longing eyes toward the United States senate. A I senator will be selected at the coming । session of the legislature to succeed James A.Hemenway. Among the men prominently mentioned for the senate are Hon. Benjamin F. Shively and Hon. : John W. Kern. President Roosevelt has invited prom I inent labor leaders to meet with govern menL officials at the white house to dis- j cues questions pertaining to needed labor legislation. For some reason it seems that Samuel Gompers was not in vited to the meeting. It is said that a large element of the members of the American Federation of Labor, of which Gompers is the president, is dissatisfied with his partisan activity in the late campaign and there seems to be a move ment on foot to relieve him of his office.'

VIEWS OF THE PRESS. History repeats itself. Thirty six years ago an uncle of James E. Watson was defeated for governor in Indiana with the temperance question as the overshadowing issue.—Starke County Republican. The saloon question will not be settled either permanently or satisfactorily until some such law as is in force in Pennsylvania shall have been adopted in the state of Indiana An adequate license fee and limitation of the number of saloons in towns and cities has been found the most satisfactory regulation of the liquor traffic that human wisdom has yet devised. ^To attempt prohibition in cities like South Bend is the veriest fo'ly.—South Bend Times. The wide differences in the votes for the national candidates and state candidates, and those affaire still more closeidentified with the people in county and township, is a matter which indicates a wholesome state of mind on the part of the voters. It is simply a warning to party leaders that the people may be depended upon sooner or later to resent any attempt to drive them into support of official abuses, and questionable methods of taking care of political bosses. In other words, the voters are getting wise to the fact that the most unprofitable thing for them as taxpayers is the use of the people’s businees as a political asset. —Nappanee News. Marshall and Option Law. Thomas R. Marshall is a temperance man. The fact that he is the choice of the people of Indiana for governor does 'Toe ludica^**^^ v^s^beral element in in the lead. Mr. Marshall made his campaign on a platform that called for a kind of local option. He stands on that platform today, we believe, just as firmly as he ever did. Also, we believe, he never will repeal the local option law. In the first place, Marshall does not want the law repealed, and, in the second place, the people of this state never will let him repeal it. —Warsaw Union. Several pathetic cases of sudden death just at a critical moment when results of effort were being realized have been reported to the papers of late. A busband was returning from Europe, and instead of being greeted at the dock by his wife, was met by a telegram telling of her illness. Apparently overcome by the disappointment, he fell dead as he landed. Another case was that of a brother who rushed two thousand miles to see a sick brother and fell dead in a hotel at the end of his journey as he was preparing to go to the sick bed. In two other cases men who had made unusual effort to accomplish an end were stricken just as they attained the desired object. Such sudden calls reinforce the feeling that life is to be taken as a sort of Indian gift to be recalled at any time. — Review. Relles Made to Order. The veteran, stroking his long, white whiskers, looked over the landscape with glittering eye. "Yes,” he said excitedly, “here's where we fought and licked ’em. Have you got any relics of the battle?” “Sure,” replied the guide. “John, go back to the forge and mould the gentleman a pound of bullets, and tell the blacksmith to hammer out one of them broken officers’ swords.” Veal calves bought at highest market prices.

One hundred sixty hunting licenses were issued in Marshall county since last January. Henry Humrichouser was 73 years old Thursday and has been a resident of Plymouth for the past f 8 yeaaa. Heis one of the oldest residents of Plymouth —Plymouth Democrat. Dr. C. C. Mack of LaPorte who gained notoriety by probing the Gunness murder has announced hie retirement from the profession of medicine and hie acceptance of a call to the pastorate of the Swede nbergian church in Toledo, O. A Lake Erie passenger train struck an interurban car on the Northern Indiana railway at LaPorte Wednesday of last week and fatally injured the motorman, John Wileon, of Rolling Prairie, and slightly injured Ralph Jones, brakeman of the passenger train. Wileon died p^on after the accident. Frank Lampa, while digging a ditch for the LaPorte Gas Light company, was caught by a cave-in, the solid mass of earthy striking him on tue chest and rendering him unconscious. He was taken to the hospital where he died within an hour from heart pressureThe man wae 38 years old. Albert Roubic, the young Bohemian who killed hie employer, Emil Kvasnieka, because of an infatuation for the latter's wife, near North Judson, last May, was found guilty of murder in the first degree in the Starke circuit court and sentenced to life imprisonment. He has been taken to the Michigan City prison. The official vote of Indiana, which has been announced by the secretary of state, shows the election of James A Bingham, republican, for attorney-gen-eral by a plurality of 788. The report sent out a few days ago had Lotz, the democratic candidate for attorney general, elected, a mistake having been made in adding up the vote. Aley, democrat, was elected superintendent of public instruction over McTunran, republican.

THE SMALLEST SHIP.

Port ugnex* JrllyAwh Which Khs n Wonderful Tiny Sail. The smallest ship that sails the seas Is the little Portuguese man-o’-war that fearlessly puts up its tiny sail and navigates the wide ocean as skillfully and courageously as the biggest liner afloat. Christened Physalia Arethusa by Agassiz, it belongs to the jellyfish family, and Is only found in tropical waters, but Is seen In greater numbers in the South Atlantic than in either the South Pacific or the Indian ocean. That part of It which is under water looks like a bunch of badly tangled threads, and the sail is a soft tough membrane shaped like a clam shell, with the hinges down, and whitish blue in color. It can be furled or set by the creature at will, and is quite five inches across, and sometimes more. The wise sailor lets this curious little living ship severely alone, for every dangling filament is charged witli electricity and stings like a wasp. When touched by an unwary hand the results are very painful and often dangerous. The hand is attacked with darting pains, swells rapidly to twige its natural size, and as the inflammation spreads, the swelling extends up the arm, and blood poison is likely to set in unless the sufferer receives prompt medical attention. The deadly battery it carries is the man-o’ war's protection against voracious enemies; The porpoise, so eager for a breakfast of flying fish, gives it a wide berth, and the hungry albatross allows it to pass unchallenged. It has no other power of locomotion but the sail, and skimming along in the bright sunlight or almost as bright tropical moonlight on the surface of a calm sea, it looks like a child’s toy boat rather than a living organism foraging for a meal. Will B« Uk« RnsMan Pennant*. Professor Edward A. Ross of the University of Wisconsin is a very wise man and consequently when he makes a “statement” it is quite the proper thing for every one to sit up and listen attentively. His latest assertion, how ever, that “America is threatened with the appearance of a race of women like those of the peasant class of Russia” is perhaps just a bit too far-fetched to be readily believed. After quoting from statistics to show that one-third of the women of the country between the ages of 15 and 25 are engaged in industrial occupations, Professor Ross says: “With many of them it is only temporary, but do you realize that for the few years they are at the loom or in the shop the conditions surrounding them are not shaped or influenced by anybody who has any Interest in them. “The truly feminine girl, the one of frailty and delicacy, will pass from our working classes. There will be a reversion to the type of masculine women, squat, flat-chested, broad-backed, lowbrowed creatures, working in the fields side by side with the men, the burdens of wifehood and motherhood coming but as an incident to a day of toil.” Pleasant, sure, easy, safe little liver Pills, are DeWitt’s Little Early Risers iSold by B.
