Wants No More of Them.

This is an off season for political
changes, but Ex-Governor MacCorkle,
of West Virginia, thinks it good
time to purge himself of democracy.
In a published interview he says:
Give me no more democratic admin
iatrations. I've had enough of them.
Republican power has brought my
state the greatest era of prosperity it
eyer experienced. Everybody who
wants work can work, and those who
have money are getting good returns
on their investments. l hope there
will be no more democratic admins
trations. They always cause a fear of
upsetting things and somebody is
generally the loser.
Mr.. MacCorkle was democratic gov
ernor of West Virginia from 1898 to
1897. The republican prosperity
which he refers to has made the
state safely republican.

In holding an anti-smOke law con-
Stitutional New York Judge says.
''The power to regulate and abate
nuiSanceS and preserve the health and
comfort of the citizen is one of the
principal functions of government and
is subject to regulation within the
police powers. A citizen has not
absolute and unlimited rights over his
property. but holds his rights subject
to control and regulation for the bene-
fit of the masses. " This statutory
principle should be understood by
every person, namely, that public well
fare is superior to private rights.

Statistician ModifIes His Estimate.

b. F. Johnson, state statistician,
has modified his estimate of the dam
age to the crops by the continued
rains.
''The reports put pretty sick
look on the CROP he said. OF course,
the first reports to come in are those
of damage, and the panicky people
are the first to report out Of the DAM
aged sections, SO 1 expect that a few
days will give a much brighter out
look. Just now, however, things are
inclined to look pretty black in some
parts of the state.
The north half of the state, especial
ly the northwest, has been badly DAM
aged, both in corn and oats, il the
reports that come in are accurate.
Benton, Newton, Lake, Porter, Jas
per, White, Laporte, Kosciusko and
st. Joseph counties have suffered
most. Then the river counties in the
south have felt the effects Of the
food.
The greatest damage in the south
part OF the state has been to the
wheat, which is in shock. In the
bottom lands the shocks have been
washed away, or broken and scatter
ed. Those which have been saved
have been soaked through.

COOPERATIVE COMPANIES
State Auditor After Another Scheme
With Sharp Sticks.

Auditor of State Hart is going after
the so-cailed cooperative home COM
panies doing business in Indiana. The
attorney general has rendered an
opinion that the companies are frauds,
and he expresses his surprise that peo-
pie can beguiled into joining them.
Their plan is to sell homes in the
places where their members live. The
members pay the monthly install
ments, and when the company collects
81 900 from its members in this way
it buys a home for one of them. 1t
takes the members in the order in
which they join the company, the
50th member, and so on. Members
are permitted to select any home they
can get for 1000, The officers of
the company get remuneration for
their philanthropic work from the per
capita tax Of 35 cents month the
members pay.
Auditor Hart is sending circulars to
prosecuting attorneys ia the state to
have the companies agents arrested
at sight.

Not Au Indiana Senator,

The booty and boisterouS repre-
sentative In congress from Illinois,
Mr.. Kern. who was arrested for dis
turbing the peace, at least made no
effort to conceal his identity, or sup
press his name, as did the United
States senator guilty of like conduct,
only worse, as he not only disturbe2
the peace of a private household but
broke up $500 worth of furniture and
bric-a-brac. The offending senator has
not made himself publicly known. He
belongs to the higher, the more dig
nified, the more secret body, and par
ticularS of his drunken revelry must
necessarily be suppressed.-South

END OF CONGRESS
Adjourned Sine Die at $50 O'clock
Tuesday Afternoon.

There was lively singing match in
the hall of the house of representatives
in the closing hour of the first session
of the Fifty-seventh congress. 1t is
usual to sing patriotic songs to close
the session, but in this instance the
musical exercises were made exciting
by a contest for leadership between
Representative Watson, of Indiana,
and Representative Tawney, of Mime
sofa. In scoring Tawney got far in
the lead and for a time there seemed
but little chance for theIndiana states
man. All the way through 1.-THE
Star-spangled Banner" Mr.. Tawney
was bravely in the lead and the men,
bers were following him. When
"Amerlca" was reached Mr.. Watson
spurted forward in way that sur
priSed the house and delighted his
friends. Before the song was fms ed
the larger group was around Watson,
the sign of victory in the house sing
ing school. Formerly the great lead
er in these singing exercises was
Speaker Henderson. He has splen-
did voice for leading a chorus, and in
his day no one competed with him
for the hOnOrS.
Two other singers who attracted at
tention were Representative Lands,
of Indiana, and Representative Kyle,
of Ohio. The former has robust
tenor and the other beautiful high
tenor voice. They were vigorously
congratulated with resounding whackS
on their backs which sounded like
throwing bricks at empty dry goods
boxes. AS soon as they could get
their breathS they were forced to sing
again.
Amid "a scene Of enthusiasm that
has not been paralleled since the
exciting and stirring days of the
Spanish war, Speaker Henderson, at
$50 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, de-
clared the house of representatives adj
journed without day. In doing SO he
said that no house of representatives
since the adoption Of the constitution
had done as much work as this one

Nearly all the reduction of the

Nearly all the reduction of the in
debtedness of the state that has taken
place since the close of the civil war
has been accomplished during repub-
lican administrations. Every dollar
added to the state debt since the
close OF the civil war was contracted
by democratic administrations. In
1861, whsn the republican party came
into power in Indiana for the first
time, it found debt of $40, coo, 900.
Judged by the ability to pay, such a
debt would be equivalent to one of
$40, OO0, 900 at this time. At its last
return to power in 1895, the republic
can party found state debt of s7,-
500, 900. Governor Durbin IS admins
tration will see every dollar of this
debt that can be paid before 1915,
wiped out. During the present year
81, 900, 900 will be paid on the STATE
debt resulting in decrease of inter-
est charges against the people of In
diana amounting to $1,000 month.
This breaks all records in the history
Of Indiana.

Bremen Editors Advice.

A lady subscriber called on us this
week to inquire what we would do if
our neighbours chickens spent their
walking hours in scratching up our
garden and pasturing upon our blue
grass. We sometimes boil and some
times bake them but fried chickens
have been our main hold. The article
of poultry that usually breaks over
the line fence at this time of the year
will be better if boiled six hours and
then put through a corn shelter.
Soaking in a solution of nitric acid
sometimes makes more chewable. In

mounts the garden wall, grease the
skillet with plenty of fresh lard. -Bre-

At high noon of Wednesday June

wedding as the most fastidious could
wish to witness, when Joseph G..

bonds of matrimony by Rev. G. l..
Mattox.
To the strains of a beautiful march
played by Mrs. Wilson, of Plymouth,
the contracting parties took their
places in beautifully decorated
alcove Of ferns, palms and white
lilies.
To this couple there is attached
more than local well wishing as both
have been prominently connected with
the schools of this county for several
years past.
Many useful and tasty presents
were offered showing the high esteem
of the donors.
Among the guests from a distance
were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin Neff, and
Hazel Kirtsinger, of Nappanee, Mr..
L. j, Joseph, of South Bend, Mrs.
VIM. Richey, of Inwood, Mrs. P. J..

sire the happy couple departed for
Chicago where the groom has a respon-
sible position with the Chicago Rock

saying that it was the Homestead

in that event it may be added that

year, and the consequent low prices
that followed, was also a factor. Re-
