against the Philippine war and trusts, Tor
the reason that the war will be over long
before the campaign opens and the trusts
all bid fatr TO smash of their own weight
within the same period.-kokomo Tribune.
The Anchor Silverware Company has
been in business in Muncie only a little
over two weeks and in that time has booked
an order from st. Petersburg. Russia, for a
cost of 5000, for one of the leading Cath

1t Is definitely known that William ].
Bryan received an enormous fee for his
speech here in Marion. There was an at
tempt to raise $500. There is every reason
to believe that he received that amount at
~Logansport, and that during the campaign
his political harangues. Think of a candi-
date for the presidency charging for his
services In a campaign.-Marion Chronicle.
A man Of large business and much wis
dom was asked when the wave Of prosper
ity rising so high elsewhere would roll over
Terre Haute which. while in very good cir
cumstances, is not quite up to other locali-
ties in rush of trade. The reply was that
this general activity must last several years,
but Ii will be a year before the effects of
the revival, which naturally begins with
iron, will get around to all the country.
We can await with certainty the dislribu-
ton of the money that is now going into
iron and steel.-Terre Haute Express.

We are surprised at the many wrong
ideas that are entertained as to the duties
of the township advisory board. Some peo-
pie seem to think that they are put over the
trustees to fight them and obstruct bust
ness. Far from it. They are to advise and
counsel with the trustees and to relieve
them ,t,i some OF r the oi m al p raasen w ahv
they should not come together on the best
Of terms and transact business In a Dusi,

resent.-Martin County Tribune.
Men go to a bank or the store at a prop
er time without a bell; women open up
their millinery stores on time without
being rung up. People would get to
church on time just a well without a bell.
Its changing, whanging and banging pro-
vokes more people to wrath than It brings
to repentance. Relying and depending on
the bell is evidence that the peoples devo-
ton to God is not as strong as their devo-
ton to business. They can and do reach
other places of bushes without a bell. If
q persons religion is so weak that a hired
man must break the commandment pulling
a bell rope on Sunday to get the person TO
a place of worship. his religion will never
save Mort Judson News.
Indianapolis papers are continually print
ing items about the political situation In
the Thirteenth congressional district of this
State that are misleading and that misrep-
resent the true state of affairs. All this
sort Of talk is utter falsehood-political rot
In it's worst stage of decay. No promises,
pledges or combinations have been made
by Thirteenth district Republicans for the
next campaign. The old party in this dis
trict Is united. There may be a few men
here who are ambitious for political pre-.
ferment, but so far there has been not the
slightest indication. Of any strife or bitter
feeling and certainly no breaking OF prom
ises, for as before stated, no promises have
been m~ade.-South Bend Tribune.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that the
parties appointed as members of the town
ship boards should qualify. The trustees
have made and published their estimates OF
expenses and tax levies for the coming year
and given notice of the meeting of the
DOdruS III lNelr respective tOWHSnupS DIS re-
quired by law, and 1T now remains for the
persons appointed to say whether they will
stop the wheels of government by refusing
to act or whether they will show their pa
triotism by qualifying and thus make 1t pos
sible to levy and collect the necessary taxes
for the coming year. We hear 1T said thai
the pay is not sufficient and that the boards
refuse to qualify for that reason. All will
admit that the pay is not commensurate
with the work and responsibilities. but this
must not stand in the way and prevent the
advisory boards %levying the necessary taxes

Mr.. Dolliver told a good story to a crowd
Of Republicans at Spring Beach Hotel
Rome City, where he was handsomely en-
tertained on Republican day. 1t related tt
former Senator Turpie, who, he said. wa.
once surprised by a reverend constituent
who called Unexpectedly while the sena'
tor was in the act Of taking a stiff brace
of liquor. The caller was a ~well-knowr
minister in a strong Democratic city, anC
the senator found 1t necessary, it seems
to explain the situation. Now you were
no doubt surprised" said the senator tC
his guest, 'in finding me apparently in
fact is, the marshes and flats that SURROUND
