Frank Wines Autobiography.

The Culver Herald which prints
Frank Wines autobiography at adver-
Using rates says that Mr.. Wine, the re-
publican candidate for representative,
was born In Virginia in sight of the
tree under which Stonewall Jackson
died. That certainly must be point
worthy of mention. The democratic
candidate was only born In Indiana
and possibly q hundred miles away
from the death bed of any great man.
The article SAYS that Mr.. Wines par
ents are of noble blood and that his
ancestry can be traced to the loyal and
true of revolutionary times. Well, the
democratic candidate cannot boast of
any such blue blood as Mr.. Wine
claims. The democratic candidate was
born of plain, common, country parents,
whose ancestors emigrated from Ger
many. They are only ordinary cnun-
try folk, but just as patriotic in defense
of republican institutions as any citizen
of the "blue blood" stripe.
The article in the Herald claims that
Mr.. Wine should get votes for the office
to which he sspires because he is build
ing q church at Bremen, and for which
he is getting we'll paid. Well, the dem
ocratic candidate can't build churches
because he is not mechanic, but be
has during the time he has lived In
Marshall county contributed to the sup
port of never fewer than three denom-
national churches,
The article in the Herald concludes
with the statement that Mr.. Wine will
accept the office If elected. That is
astonishing. The democratic csndi-
date never dreamed that be would be
called upon to make such pledge, out
since Mr. Wine has publicly announced
that he will accept if elected, the demo,
cratic candidate for representative will
give the same assurance. He too will
accept, if elected.

better enforcement of the eight hour
and minimum wage laws; the securing
of the safety of the employees and pas
sengers on interurtan railroads; the
making of usurious rates of interest
illegal; the submission TO the people of
constitutional amendment whereby
municipalities may exceed their debt
limit for lighting plants and water
works; laws permitting county and
township authorities to do public work
without the intervention of contractors
a law providing for free school books;
effective primary election laws; opposi-
ton to any amendments to the mecsn-
les lien law which do not receive the
sanction of the mechanics themselves.

reasonable man could ask.

The democrats of Whitley county
are having good laugh at the ex-
pense of Postmaster Williamson, of
Columbia City, who is also editor
of The Mail. In the instructions to
voters some enterprising young man
told the readers of The Mail to
make an ak" with pencil on the
rooster and that would suffice. OF
course Mr.. Williamson did not dis
cover the trouble until his newspa-
per was circulated and old line re-
publicans began hunting for him
with shot guns and rifles and to add
to his troubles the Columbia City
Post asks if the postmaster has
Topped?

Has rural route mail carrier any
right to distribute campaign litera-
ture while in the perfor nance of his
regular duties? Has he the right to
make use of the mails for such a pur-
pose: If so, postmaster has the
right to fill the boxes of patrons of
the postoffice with similar stuff W it'll
out having it properly mailed. 1t
seems that there is ground for an in
vestigation of the misuse of the
mails on all the rural routes In this
county.

Culver Herald Charges for Pufis.

George Nearpsss, who publishes the
Culver City Herald. printed q half col
umn article last week telling the good
traits of Frank Wine, the republican
candidate for repI esentstive and the
article was copied by the Plymouth
Republican and the Bremen Enquirer.
Every man who has been candidate
for office, whether on the republican or
democratic ticket, knows what is essen
tisl to get puff in Georges paper. T..
W. Metsker, the democratic candidate,
has had the same opportunity to get a
write-up in the aforesaid Georges
paper at the same rate per inch which
MIR. Wine paid, but he does not possess
sufficient egOtism to write up his own
biography for publication even In
paper of such world wide influence as
the Culver Herald. Neither does he
approve of complimentary notices that
any editor charges him for.
George has also write-up for j. j.
Holman, the republican canuluate lor
treasurer. He solicited VIM. O'keefe,
the democratic candidate, offering to
puff him at advertising rates, as he had
pulled Hoffman, but Mr.. Okeefe told
him that he wanted no puffs in paper
whose editor is trying to carry water on
both shoulders and who is trying to
bleed both parties.
The Independent makes this state
ment of facts so that the people of the
county will understand what the srtl-
Giles in the Culver Herald relative to
certain candidates really mean. They
mean simply this-tbat the candidates
have written up their own puff, and
have paid George Nearpsss for publish
ing them.

Probably the world never pro-
duced greater scoundrel than Cap
tain Esterhazy, the man who in
spired the famous Dreyfus persecu-
ton. Dreyfus was twice court
martialed on the charge of having
written document betraying army
secrets to foreign nation. This
document has been found in the
personal effects of Esterhazy, though
he swore it was never IN his posses
sion. 1t was, however, believed
that Esterhazy himself wrote It

Gated in his possession seems to

For some time past republican
statesmen and newspapers have been
greatly concerned as to whether
Bryan would pay the government
debt in silver if elected president.
Until recently Mr.. Bryan referred
all persons making the inquiry TO
the Kansas City platform which he
said fully defined his position on the
question. But this reply was not
satisfactory. They wanted a speci-
fic answer. Mr.. Bryan has given a
specific answer. He simply says:
81 will obey the law" That is GER
tainly as complete an answer as any
reasonable man could ask.

BALLOTS DISTRIBUTED.

Large Force Discharged.

Can Employ Experts.

The supreme court Friday held
that county commissioners have a right
to employ experts TO examine county
records and pay them per cent. of the
money collected through the result of
their investigation. The case was ap-
pealed from Jasper county, where the
board had been enjoined from carrying
out its contract with experts employed
for that purpose.

John ID. O'Brien Speaks of Humnn
Aims and Character.

john ID. O'Brien Speaks of Humnn
Aims and Character.
John d. O'Brien gave an interesting
talk before the Commons Literary and
Debating club last evening. his subject
being "The Moral Value of Purpose
in Life"
Individual character" said the speak
er, counts most In life Educational
advantages, riches, environments-these
are clothed with false Importance. 1t
Is the individual himself. not the ma
terial things which he possesses that
counts" The three dominant features
in character were truthfulness, charity
and unselfishness. The man or woman
who possessed these essential qua'ifica-
tions approached very near the perfect
type. Man was created free. He was
able to say whether or not he would
be truthful charitable and unselash. He
said:
"Our own humility often stands In the
way of our carrying out our purpose.
The individual Is too apt to think that
he occupies so unimportant a position in
the world that what he does matters
very little.'
The speaker considered that education
of the heart and trained observation
were more important than mere beck
knowledge. In conclusi IN, he read some
selections from Ruskin, showing the
value of trained observation and an
unfaltering purpose. Besides the adj
dress a musical and literary programme
was given.

THE DOPrER AND ORANGE MAN.

The sun was shining on the veldt,
In quite his wonted way;
The British troops were mustered in
Victorious array;
And this was odd because 1t was
About MaJuba Day.
The Dopper and the Orange man
Observed the fact with sobs;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of Bobs.
They said, Its not SO soft a thing
AS were our former jobs!"
eff seven Swiss for seven years
Would kindly arbitrate.
Do you suppose" the Dopper said,
THAT you could save your State?'
ri doubt it." said the Orange man;
THAT dodge is out Of date"
ooh. Britons. make a peace with me-"
The Dopper said with calm;
''For can wave the olive branch,
AS well as win the palm;
My character is stated in
The fifty-second Psalm"
''The truce has come" the Dopper said,
ITO talk of many things;
OF Rhodes and Raids and Robertses,
And kilograms from Kings:
And why the Rand should have no votes
And other spots have strings
.sOh. Britons.' said the Orange man.
''Of course, we should have won;
But still, il you will stop the war
And then his speech was done;
And this was hardly odd, because
He faced naval gun.

the suggestion that the expense would be
enormous" And therefore, according 70
Maj Symors, the thing cannot be thought
Of In only two respects does he show
anything like substantial reason why
such canal should not be built, and the
country. instead. be made to depend upon
barge navigation. The most feasible
routes for such canal would bring ITS
course In dangerous proximity to the city
of Montreal This Is one OF MAJ. Symons'
tangible arguments against its feasibility.
The only other argument he uses that is
worthy of a moments consideration Is
the one that ocean-going vessels could not
afford the time necessary to traverse any
ship canal so built
1t seems quite plain that this gentle
arguing on his retainer He virtually
stands alone as an engineering authority.
just as New York city does as a munici
pality against the construction Of deep
water ship canal The canal will one day
be built. MAJ. Symons to the contrary.
No great public project has ever been
considered that did not find its Maj. Sy-
mons to prove its~impossibility. ii may
come about that the way to the ocean
will be found for American producers by
Canadian authority. New York merchants
and business interests have for some TINA
past been aroused to the pressing need in
which the metropolis stands to stay the
decay OF Its shipping commerce conse-
auent on its parsimonious and dog-in-the-
manger policy toward It's canals. But, Il
Maj. Symons is to be accepted as their
mouthpieee and his views are to be con-
sidered as an expression Of their under
standing of the true interest OF their city,
1t may safely be predicted that the threat
ened decay will soon assume the serious
aspect Of reality. If the people of the en-
tire country, through the agency Of con-
gress. do not step In to save that COM
munity from itself

through the tariff legislation. Prices on
commodities which carry high tariff
rates are being kept up artifcially and
In almost every case the chief beneficiary
OF tariff favoritism Is a trust. Metal
production represents the chief industry
gantlc trusts have been formed. In
lead products. iron ore. tin plate, sheet
steel and steel beams we have trusts,
and on each of them tariff exists which
forces from the consumers prices in
excess of those prevailing abroad rang
ing from 25 to so per cent.
The most assailable point at which the
trusts can be attacked is through the
tariff. In the past congress the Repub-
lican majority defeated proposition to
admit free all products which were dealt
In entirely by the trusts. That action
should not be accepted as final. The
Republican party in congress should be
made to go on record again and again
on this proposition. 1t Is fruitless to
talk of the extension Of foreign COM
merce so long as prohibitive tariff Is
maintained mostly for the benefit Of IL
legal industrial organizations. The tar
iff trust combinations must be broken
down. not only for the advantage which
well designed attacks will necessarily
bring to Democrats. but In sustainment
of the movement for the extension of our
foreign trade.
The Democratic minority in congress
should be reminded that so long as the
existing tariff system is allowed to pre-
vail all talk of suppressing trusts Is
useless. They have to be suppressed
and specific action must .be inaugurated
In that direction. The most available
mode Of attack and that which Is most
likely to result in success is the one OF
insisting upon the removal of tariff du-
ties upon all imported articles now con-
trolled by the trusts.
