POLITICAL CORRUPTION.

The air is full of rumOrS of cOrrup-
ton at Washington. Doubtless there
is exaggeration, as there usually is in
such cases. 1t may be doubted wheth-
er we have yet wholly adapted our
selves to the new conditions in which
we suddenly find ourselves. The vast
interests with which we have to deal
politically, and the great wealth and
power Of the few men that control
our industries, make it necessary that
We should have at Washington men
who are themselves great enough and
strong enough to resist temptation
and to steer straight course. In
the swirl of the politico-bussness life
in Washington, one can imagine even
an honest man making false step,
becoming innocently compromised,
and perhaps even going wrong with
out having had the slightest corrupt
or wrongful purpose. This possibility
proves that the talent of the country
is not in congress, but in the lobby
that is seeking to control congress.
And that is the danger. The great
trusts command the brains of the ma
ton. and they pay salaries which the
people could not, and ought not to, az
ford to pay. But with or without big
salaries the people must manage to
find men who are intelligent enough
to know a corrupt proposition when
they see it, and honest enough to
Scorn it.-Indianapolis News.

Taken From Cell to Altar.

Vera Burns, p years old, was
sentenced unfortunately to matri-
mony by Judge Smith at Chicago
Thursday. She had been indicted for
stealing dresses andljewelry valued at
$40 from Laura Jones, 1925 Park
avenue.
When her case was called in Judge
Smiths court, she pleaded guilty and
threw herself on the mercy of the
court. She was up for sentence Thurs
day. Ralph Van Etten, % years old,
told the Judge if his sweetheart were
allowed to &C free he would marry and
care for her. The Judge approved
the scheme, and Van Etten procured
a marriage license. When he return
ed Judge Smith performed the cere-
mony.
"Matrimony is severe penalty for
larceny" said the Judge.
sit is better than the bridewell, I"
answered the bride promptly. Then
she hurried back to the county JAIL
where she had been for three weeks,
TO get her belonging and bid the turn
KEYS good by.

Speeches That Make Votes.

Congressman Zenor of Indiana in
giving his opinion of campaign litera-
ture says: THE speech that counts
IN winning votes is the one that is
filled with argument, not the one that
is filed with abuse or ridicule. / know
that the speech in which the other
speaker skins the other fellow or the
other party will enthuse his own party
followers aud such speeches might
make good campaign material if they
could always be confined TO the party
70 which the speaker belongs, but the
trouble is that they draw party lines.
The kind of campaign literature that
counts is well put, straightforward ar
gument that appeals to the practical
common sense of the voters. :"

Beer Drinkers and Trusts.

The men who drink the most beer
are among the loudeSt directors to
what they call trusts, says the Elk
hart Review. They declare that the
fixing of prices On those things which
the people must have are oppressive
and illegal. These same men forget
the fact that the price OF beer is con-
trolled by great combination, and
unlike the price on any other COM
modify which men use with any great
profusion, is never below five cents in
city or in country, and seldom varies
from that price except in some of the
heightened saloons. The quantity
produced and sold has no effect what
ever upon the price. When beer
ought to be cheap and could be fur
nished at big profit at from two to
three cents glass, this violent grum-
bier at the operation of trusts grace
fully and willingly pays his five cents,
and never says word.

A Widows Rights.

Judge Hadley, of the supreme
court, has handed down the following
decision: Q) Where a widow fails
within 80 days after the death of her
husband. leaving a will, to make an
election as to whether or not she will
take under the will, she becomes en-
titled, under acts 1891, page 404, to
one-third Of his surplus property, not
withstanding the will makes some
other disposition Of it. (2 Such an
election must be acknowledged before
an officer, or it is void or without
effect. ~ Where such widow dies
without having made valid election,
her administrator is entitled to one
third of the deceased IS personal proper
ty after payment of her debts.

New Country School Houses.

The state board of health is trying
to reform the sanitary conditions of
the country school houses. DIR. Hurry,
its secretary has prepared at his own
expense model plans for a single-room
building, which can be had by school
trustees on application.
1t is out of the conventional design,
and shows an attractive exterior. The
light is thrown on the school room
from one side, which is almost entire
ly of glass. This gives an even light,
and relieves the strain on eyes from
shadows thrown by conflicting lights.
Ventilation is carefully provided
for, and the heating is to be done by
means of a hot air furnace DR.. Hurry
says that the adoption of his plans
would do away with much Of the
headache and disease of the eyes from
which pupils now suffer.

THE BEEF TRUST.

The State vf Missouri seems to be
making some progress in its campaign
against the beef trust. In the pro-
ceedings Thursday at Jefferson City
evidence was presented which showed
the existence in st. Louis of uniform
and fixed meat prices and the secret
rebate system. n st. Louis meat
dealer swore that Armour, Swift,
Morris and Cudahy had fixed agree
ment regarding prices. He said furth-
er that they did not compete in buy
ing any more than in selling. The
packers buy cattle on successive days,
and thus each buys at his own price.
The big packers, so it is said, keep
Others out by telling the cattlemen
that if they sell any cattle TO indie
pendent buyers they must sell all to
them. a meeting is held the last o.
each week to fix the prices at which
meat shall be sold for the following
week. 1t seems that the seller of cat
tie, whether he sells in East St. Louis
or ships them East, must sell at prices
fixed bv the trust. For when he ships
them East. the packers send tele-
gram ahead OF him instructing the
buyers to pay only SO much. Several
witnesses testified to the same effect.

The opposition in the house to the
bill for the admission of Oklahoma.
Arizona and New Mexico collapsed at
the last minute and the bill passed
without division as it came from the
committee except for a few verbal
amendments. The real test came on
an amendment offered by Mr.. Over
street, of Indiana, to join New Mexico
and Arizona and admit them, as the
state OF Montezuma. 1t was beaten
% to LOG, and all opposition then
ceased. The bill will not be reported
out by the senate committee on ter
ritories this session. The friends Of
the bill think that it would be useless
to attempt to secure favorable con-
sideration Of the bill at present.

The Cherokee Advocate, the only
newspaper printed for Indians in the
Indian language, is soon to be abol-
ished, as It's circulation has dwindled
to 300 and there is little demand for
the paper. The publication has been
published at Tahlequah, Indian terri
tory, since 1852, and before that time
was published at New Echota, Ca,
where it was established in 1880. The
CherokeeS are the only Indians in the
United States having printed lam
guage, and now that this paper is to
go out of existence that one language
will not last long.

Didn't Expect a Change.

A little incident that occurred in
one of the district schools of this
township during the winter term of
school has just leaked out. The
school marin and the janitor had lit
tie quarrel and the latter was accused
of telling a falseho0d. The teacher
asked him where he expected to go if
he persisted in telling lies. He re-
piled that it didn't matter much as
he expected to be busy punching fires
for school teachers wherever he went.

An Oklahoma business man SAYS
the agitation for the conversion of
the territory into state is confined
almost exclusively to the politicians,
and that the people are Indifferent.
They rather wait, he says, for the an
neXation of the Indian Territory to
Oklahoma and the admission of the
two as one state. Then there would
be a new state with great natural re-
sources. and certainty of large
population. The two territories could
not become rotten borough.
1t is almost invariably the case that
the urgent demand for the grant of
statehood to a territory comes from
the politicians and not from the peo-
pie. Kansas was an exception, but
the conditions which obtained there
were exceptional. The politicians see
in the statehood many offices, national
and state, which they hope to fill.
They appreciate the fact that state
government will be run on a grander
and more expensive scale than a
territorial government. There will
be more money spent and they Look
forward to the handling of it. The
people who are not seeking for offices,
who are trying to build up their
homes, take only languid interest in
an agitation for statehood. They
admit that it is pleasant to be able to
vote for president and to have Sena-
tors and a representative who will
make more stir and exert more in
fluence in congress than territorial
delegate does, but they do not see
clearly what material benefit they are
to get by the conversion of their
territory into state. Many of them
understand that the change win mean
higher taxes.
1t is not surprising that the Okla
homa politicians should be more eager
for statehood than the people are.
The same may be said with even
greater truth of New Mexico and Ari-
zona.-ChicagO Tribune.

Queer Find in a Log.

While saving white oak log at the
mill of the Deering company at Peters
burg, Ind, bone was found in the
heart of the log. The bone was six
and ahalf inches long and had two
prongs, each starting off from the Gen.
ter. One of the prongs was sawed in
two. AS the tree stood in the woods
the bone was about ive feet from the
ground. 1t is thought that wild
animal years ago carried the bone to
the tree and that the wood grew
around it. The log was not hollow,
but showed that 1T once had small
opening in it. 1t is thought that the
bone was from the breast of large
fowl.

Republican Defeat at South Bend.

The South Bend Times comment
ing on the election of the democratic
ticket in South Bend by majorities
ranging from $50 to 1856 says.
There we're many reasons for the
defeat of the republican ticket. Mr..
Rutherford, the republican candidate
for mayor, excellent man and citizen
that he is, labored under the disadvant-
age of having been considered the
choice of what is known as the repUb-
lican machine. The machine has be-
come very odlous to a large number of
republicans, who regarded this an op-
perfume moment to record their dis
satisfaction and their displeaSure.
Machines methods are not regarded
with much favor by the average South
Bender. CaucuSeS and conventions
are presumed to be held for the pur-
pose of giving those attending the
same opportunity to make known and
felt their desires as to the selection of
candidates and the shaping of party
policies. The exercise of this prerog-
alive is hampered and often frustrated
when caucuses and conventions are
controlled by machine methods The
candidates selected may personally and
politically be wholly unobjectionable.
and yet the fact that their nomina-
ton was the result of manipulation
and dictation creates feeling of dis
content that is hardly ever entirely
eliminated.

Get Outdoors.

There is no tonic to tired nerves like
the open air. 1t is better than all
the nervines and nerve tOnics found
in the doctors books. Fresh air,
pure water and clean sand are the
greatest known disinfectants. And
the beauty of these forms Of microbe
killer is that they will clean out the
brain as well as disinfect the body.
Aided and abetted by vigorous but
well-modulated exercise, nothing can
compare with their powers to raise de-
pressed spirits, brighten rusty facul-
ties, stimulate tagged energies, arouse
dormant ambition, develop wasting
muscle and, in short, make impaired
health robust.

The Municipal Elections.

Careful study of the results Of the
municipal elections of Tuesday will
probably disclose some interesting
tendencies, but decisive party gains
either way or any material change of
party lines will not be among them.
If the democrats made gains in some
localities the republicans did in 9TH
ers, and a Slight preponderance either
way has no particular Significance
Each party carried some cities for the
first time. Municipal elections in an
off year seldom have much significance
in their bearing on national or state
politics. The Journal is well aware
that it is the custom of both parties
to attach considerable Importance to
such elections, but it believes both
parties have overdOne the matter.
And such elections have even less
political significance now than they
mao Wnen party lines were more close
ly drawn and when party spirit was
higher in this state than is the case
at present The tendency is towards
the removal of city governments and
city elections from the arena of gen.
eral policies into that of home rule
and local issues, and all must admit it
is a healthy tendency. Party ties
and affiliations are less binding with
both republicans and democrats than
they formerly were, as compared with
local issues and interests. The in
dependent voter is more of factor in
politics than he formerly was, and he
is particularly apt to exercise his in
dependence ia municipal election

1t is the best kind of an argument
that the republican administration is a
decided financial success, when in spite
OF the repeal Of the war tax, the sur
plus in the treasury keeps on accumu-
lating. If the people are not satisfied
with this prosperous condition of
things, they should by all means elect
a democratic president. As surplus

have failed to bring period of adver-

Fogarty, the new democratic mayo

Fogarty, the new democratic mayor
of South Bend, has majority of 1856.
the largest majority ever given can
didate in South Bend. For fourteen
years previous to 1894 the democrats
carried South Bend by majorities
ranging from 200 to 700. The results
which followed the election of dem
ocratic president and a democratic
congress in 1902 made South Bend a
republican city, and 1T remained SO
until last Tuesday. If South Bend
and Mishawaka vote in November as
they voted in May. st. Joseph will be a
democratic county. Republican lead
ers of st. Joseph county must allow
the rank and file to help in selecting
candidates if they expect to win in

The wanton murder of Paul LeiceS-

the literary field. Within two weeks,
three writer's of note, of literary abil-

the debt of nature. The death of the
last, however, was tragic, and at the
hands of his own brother,
