Germanv's derrick the Great.

Emperor William returns to the
subject with great grace and Apostle
ness. He begs to present to the clti-
zens of this country statue of Fred
erick the Great, to be placed in Wash
ington as a lasting sign Of the init
mate relations that have been success
fully fostered and developed between
the great nations Of Germany and
America. Frederick the Great, the
Emperor recalls, maintained a friend
" attitude toward the American re-
public, and the example set by the
great King. the Emperor means to
follow. Frederick the Great was
really one of the few men that deserve
the title. He was great. 1t is said
that President Roosevelt has deter
mined on a place near the new war
college. as the location Of that statue.
A filter place could not be chosen.
Frederick the Great was pre-eminent-
ly a great warrior, though he was
great IN other phases Of his character.
The value of the gift, however, is a
recognition of Prince Henry's visit
and the consequences of it. 1t sets a
good example for general imitation.
Natioas might turn aside at times
thus to mark recognition of one an
other.-Indianapolis News.

Since the meeting of the state COM
mittee, it is probable that the repub-
licans of Indiana will have a short
speaking campaign. The situation
was discussed at length by Chairman
Goodrich and the district chairmen.
There was a division of opinion. A
majority seemed to favor short,
brisk campaign, but it was decided to
postpone definite action until the
members of the Indiana delegation at
Washington and other party leaders
can be consulted.

The first Official estimate of the re-

has been announced. This gives 49,
600 as the number of people buried in
the ruins of st. Pierre. Six Thousand
persons were rescued by steamships or
fled to places of safety. Three thous-
and probably were drowned. This re-
port shows that at least 81 900 people
persisted when the top was blown off
Mount Pelee and all the surrounding
country deluged with fire and sui

Senator German is shrewd enough
to see that the democrats can never
win on the Philippine issue. If they
persist in trying to work upsympathy
for the savage Filipinos against the
United States soldier they will fail,
is Germans prediction. He knows
the American people will not stand
these persistent attacks upon the
army and the laudation of the enemy.
If it is kept up he predicts that the
republican majority in the next con-
greSs will be much larger than that of
the present one.

OUR CIRCUIT JUDGE.

The Judge of the Marshall and Full
ton circuit courts should be the equal
of the best judges in Indiana. Both
parties have men that will make such
a Judge and if we do not have a good
Judge it Will be the fault of the peo-
Pile.
The democratic primaries to select
delegates will be held next Saturday.
If good men are selected as delegates
to the judicial convention they will
nominate good lawyer and an honest
man for judge-a man who will pro-
tect widows and wards in their rights,
will punish criminals and render right
eous decisions, SO far as he can, in all
cases tried in his court.
We are not advocating the
nomination of any particular individu-
al, but we want to emphasize the fact
that the nominating conventions are
just as important as the election. II
no party nominated bad men, no bad
men would be elected. Let both par
ties see to it that good men are NOM
mated and we will have good officials
regardless of which party wins. If
we do not have good judge during
the next six years the people will
have themselves to blame. No man
should be elected judge as a reward
for party work.

on a quiet little contest over the ques-

conferred upon him, while others con-
tend that man of stronger and
Sounder convictions shall be int rusted

The Unspoken Speeches OF Congress.

After the whole country has been
impressed with the idea that the low
er house of congress has ceased to be a
deliberative body the announcement
comes from Washington that 800, OOO,-
600 speeches of congressman have been
turned out by the government print
ing office and sent broadcast over the
land.
When and where were all these
speeches delivered? The people have
been given to understand that the
flow OF talk had been effectually dam
med by the gentleman in thespeaker'S
chair. The feelings of their constitu-
ents have been narrowed up by the
plaintive protests of the congressman
against the despotiSm of the speaker
who refused to recognize all the states
men who desired to be heard at home
on measures before the house.
Under "leave to print" congress
men are doing lot of talking for
home consumption at government ex-
pense. Congressman So-and-So, who
has been in the house two terms but
was never recognized by the speaker,
is dumping so, ZOO copies of his "fam-
Gus speech on the Philippine bill" up
on the defenseleSs voters in his district.
The wild and vociferous applause"
with which his remarks are paren-
thetically interspersed shows that the
the speech carried the house off its
feet" even if it was not heard by the
speaker.
Three hundred million copies of un-
spoken speeches-four apiece for every
man, woman and child in the land.
And yet we are told that speech max
ing is "lost art" in the house of
representatives.

A paragraph in all the papers states
that Senator Beverage will 60 to New
York this week to attend the Presby-
terrain General Assembly, of which he
is lay delegate. This statement is
true, and at the same time somewhat
misleading. 1t conveys the impress
sion that Mr.. Beverage is Presby-
terrain, which is not the case. He is
member Of the Methodist Episcopal
church and goes to the assembly as a
fraternal delegate from the General
Conference of that church.

Two men have testified in a st.
Louis court that they raised the
money necessary to bride the city
council to sell street railway fran
chise. Before they made the admis-
sion Of their guilt, which is as great
as that of the members of the council
who sold their votes, they were given
assurance that they would not be
prosecuted. This should not be, since
the man who approaches the council
men with bride is as great an Of
