ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS.
The Indianian Stands High in Busf-
ness Circles.
Washington Star.

Washington Star.
Much of the speculation about Mr.. Fair
banks and the vice presidency is Of the
same kind as that INDUCED in four years
ago about Mr.. Roosevelt. Again we are
told that the man doesn't want the office
The boom for him is the work Of men who
want to get him out of their way for their
own purposes. They see an opportunity
to shelve him. and so pressing him
for a place which, as they think, Will bring
his public career TO an end
There were men in New York in 1900 more
or less anxious to have Mr.. ROOSEVELT
stay at Albany cut short. They had their
own plans IN view in that feeling. There
may he men in Indiana anxious now to
have Mr.. Fairbanks leave the floor OF the
Senate for the chair. But as Mr.. Roose-
velts nomination 10 the vice presidency
was not the work particularly of anybody
in New York, neither will that of Mr.. Fair
banks if il is made be the work particularly
of anybody in Indiana. The opinion In Re-
publican circles was general throughout the
country that the young Governor OF New
York, with his snap and dash. would make
popular running mate for Mr. Mckinley,
who possessed all the popularity OF his
qualities, and such proved 20 be the case.
What is at present being said Of Mr.. Fair
banks is that he would bring 10 the national
ticket the strength and popularity OF his
distinctive qualities.
We may probably however. receive with
many grains of salt a recent rumor that
capital in the East is pushing MI Fair
banks for this place. The Indiana senator
is a man of force. and in the office OF Vice
President would. Mr.. Hobart did. and
as Mr.. Roosevelt would have done II he had
continued in it, make himself felt But he
could not IL he would. and doubtless would
not III he could, use the office for purposes

LITTLE USE FOR HEARST.
Democratic Editors BusiIy Engaged q.
Puncturing His Boom.


Starke County Qnd9 Republican.
The Hearst propaganda over in Marshall
county is not going 10 have such smooth
sea TO sail over as the Bryan idea had
eight years ago. 1t will be remembered
that the Marshall county Democrats got
up the prize Bryan Cub in the State and
they eXerted considerable influence over
the country in favor of the siiver-tongued
Nebraskan. 1t was just such local organi-
cations as the Bryan Club OF Marshall
county that caused the Kansas city con-
vention TO fall down upon its knees befors
the man at the other end OF the long,
distance telephone But things are changed
over in rock-ribbed. Democratic Marshall
county. and the new Hearst Club that Lige
Martindale has got together seems destined
to have its wings clipped before II Is ready
to fly. And all this on account Of the
Plymouth Democrat
The stanch old Democratic journal has q
new editor in the person or Hon. {. w.
Metsker Physically, he's not very big. but
he's got a big brain and its fuil OF ideas
and quite vigorous. The little editor does
not say so IN so many words. put with half
an eve one can see thar he has got no
more use for Hearst than he has for q
Chinaman, and the chances are that when
Clay gets through shooting hot shots ints
the Hearst boom in Marshall county 10
will have collapsed like toy balloon on
old settlers day. Editor Metsker is not
alone in this district in MS opposition TO
the yellow kid" OF Journalism.
Hon John b Ston, of the South BEND
Times takes special delight In swatinx
the Hearst boom on the waistband. This
is not the first time Editor StOll has warned
his party against fanatic leaders. IL hls
advice had been needed eight and four
years ago the Democratic party woule lls
more than the shadow X A. to-day. IL
reason prevails al the St Louis convess-
alongside the Hearst boomers IA the town
OF Plymouth.

secondly, TO the wisdom of the in
vesting public, who at first thought
that they were saving money by pur-
chasing from these socalled brokers,
hut who have lately seen the folly of
their way: for instance, the cut
raters' one object Is TO hammer down
the price of stock, so when the
offers you a stock for say forty cents
that the company is selling at
seventy five cents, you think that you
are making great saving by
buying through him; but no, the
next thing you will see the same
stock advertised by these sharks at
thirty five cents. Where Is your
saving now? Aud later on holders
of the stock see these quotations and
get panic stricken. and on receipt Of
some scurrilons literature sent them
by the brokers. making all kinds OF
false statements regarding this stock.
they rush at once to get rid Of their
holdings. What IL the consequence?
Down goes the price lower and
lower until you cannot get bid for
it at all. then the broker will advise
you that the best thing you can do
will be to make u trade, which you
va.iably do. giving up your good
stock for some worthless wild cat
stock that c"st them nothing and
which IL worth nothing, not even the
paper II IL written on. All the cut
rate brokers, with few exceptions,
have n worthless company Of their
