A Few
Facts Regarding
The Journal

It offers to readers every day in the
year clean, compact and real news
paper, with no crude Illustrations, no
padding and no attempts at sensation
alism.
1t is a newspaper that has some In
dividuality. II refuses 10 put itself on
a level with the cheap sensational sheets
that are flooding the country, and 1t
therefore appeals only TO that class OF
the reading public which wants the
news presented in a decent and digni1ed
manner. 1t declines all questionable and
demoralizing advertisements. II viii
not print, knowingly. any news matter
or advertisement that would be Of
fensive in the homes where IL circu-
lates. The absence of this sort OF mat
ter in The Journal is one OF its strongest
recommendations. 1t is THE paper in
Indiana that is always welcome in and
fit for the homes OF the people.
The picture craze has taken posses
sion of most Of the papers. The Jour-
nal will have none OF it. The space
that poor illustrations occupy can much
better be filled with reading matter.
Its news service is the best that
money can buy, and 1t has editorial
opinions on all current questions. that
are written by an able force of compe-
tent and trained workers.
In politics il is Republican, believing
in the principles that have made the
Republican party the powerful organiza-
ton that IL has been for over thirty
years, and for these principles IL con-
sistently fights with ali the vigor IL pos
sesses.
In this day, when newspaper pub
fishers are seeking after so many new
things 10 spring on a long-sunering
public. IL has required no little deter
mination TO maintain The Journals
place among the few conservative news
papers OF this country that believe the
best people in a community have
right to expect the reading matter which
comes into their homes shall be truth
full. decent and digni1ed- This posi-
ton, however. it has attained for it,
self. with the approval Of its thousands
of regular readers. and for the future
IL desires 10 keep their respect by re-
framing from printing a merely big.
sensational or poorly illustrated publica-
ton which is an insult 10 intelligence.

BEvEaIDeE SOUNDS TaE KEY NOTE

BEbEhlDGE sou NUS THE KEY NOTE.
Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, has
sounded the key note of the Mckinley
imperial campaign. He was put for
ward by the Hanna national commit
tee to voice the spirit of the trust par
ty, and he sums up the whole matter
in these words:
''lf the opposition says that our
constitution for bids the American peo-
pie to hold and govern possessions as
their situation may require. / demand
that they show me the denial of that
power in the constitution. We are a
nation. We can acquire territory. II
we can acquire territory we can gov
ern it. Ii we can govern il we can
govern it as its situation may de-
mand."
This new Interpretation of the
constitution. The tenth amendment
to that instrument declares that
The powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution nor
prohibited by it to the states, are re-
served to the states or to the psople
respectively"
Daniel Webster held the United
States to be government of strictly
limited powers, of enumerated. speci-
fed and particulariZed powers; and
whatever is not granted is with held. y
But Senator BeVeridge declares for
his party that whatever is not pro-
hibited is permissible. We can hold
subject people because the consti-
tuition does not expressly say that we
shall not. This is the logic of his
position.
Yet the constitution was founded
upon the everlasting basis of the dec
laration of independence and that sub.
lime deliverance has for it's central
principle that governments derive
their Just powers from the consent ot
the governed; and it holds as a self
evident truth that all men are ere
ated equal and are equally entitled tG
life, liberty and the pursuit OF hapPi-
ness.
1t was left for Senator Beveridge tc
sweep away both the constitution and
the declaration with an epigram.

THERE ARE NO TRUSTS"

While MIR. Hanna was at Chicago
declaring that there are no trusts, "
and alleging that all com binations
that iulure the working men have
been punished, several hundred men
at Grant, ILL.,, were enjoying the re-
suits of trust work. A Chicago re-
port tells of Grants experience in
lhese words:
lin the discharge of the last of'the
workmen at the Siemens & Hoiske
plant the town of Grant, a suburb of
Chicago, has been practically wiped
out of existence by the electrical
trust, and 900 men and women, upon
whom 3, 600 persons depended for
support, have been made idle. These
victims of great trade mbination,
which is controlled by the General
Electric company, face the coming
winter with dread. Scores are leav-
ing the community daily. It's only
industry has been blasted beyonu
hope.
The last workmen but II. who will
be dismissed this week, were paid of
Yesterday, Is blacksmiths and 80 girls
were dismissed and told they would
never again be needed by the compa-
ny. A few were engaged today and
toni9 hit packing up the machinery
used in the manufacture of automo-
biles. This will be shipped to the
Fort Wayne factory, owned by the
trust.
Beginning with the middle of Au-
gust the reduction of force had been
gradual. First one department was
closed, then another, and the only ex-
PLANTATION given was, We don't need
you any more
The following shows the mum ber
thrown out of work by the trust:
Automobile department. 250; ma
chine department, 25O; foundry, 81;
tool, so; winding, IS; carpenters, SO;
motor. 75; blacksmiths. Is; mica or
isinglass. 35: total, S75. The total
weekly wages of the employees was
$14, 500.
Already the effects OF the shut
down are being felt by the entire COM
munity. Four boarding houses have
closed, two grocers are advertising
their places for sale, fewer cars will
be run by the street railroads, we'd
dings have been postponed and church
contributions have fallen off to almost
nothing. Grant in short time will
become a deserted village.
Most of the windows at the plant
have been nailed up. AS far as can
be learned none of the employees were
given place in any Of the other fac
tories owned by the trust"
But the people Of Rock Island do
not have to go as far as Grant to find
an illustration of the injurious work
of the trusts The smokeless chin
neys of the Rock Island glass
works and the deserted cracker factory
afford an object lesson that will ap-
peal to the voters of this section to
do what they can by their votes and
influence to destroy the trust system.
Capitalization of business is the pur-
pose of the trust To cut down Cx-
penses mills and factories are closed
in different parts of the country and
all the work done at one point. This
loss Of work to thousands aud
the ruin of thriving towns.
Meantime Hanna. the republican
boss, says there are no trusts.

The tour of Mark Hanna seems to
be nothing but burlesque. The
senator comes forth on the platform
of his palace car and SAYS that Ma
Mckinley is the true friend of the
laboring man and the real issue of
the campaign is the full dinner pail.
Then he lodges back into his car to
escape the Iibald remarks of the
auditors. The crowd gathers out of
curiosity, just as it would to see some
rare animal from Borneo. They want
to see the man who makes up the
mind of the president for him every
morning

In an address delivered at the recent
meeting of the Illinois State Bar associ-
alton, Levy Mayer, of Chicago. said that
in 1890 there were less than 5, 900 law
yers in atotal population of 4 900, 600,
or one to every l, 333 persons. In 1850
this ratio was one to 1000. The cen
sus of 1890 showed that there was in
that year one lawyer to every 7O3 in
habitants. and the latest census, Mr..
Mayer predicts, will show II propor-
tion of about one to GOO.
