The report that Russia is expend-
ing $3.50, 200 day on its army and
naval movements may or may not be
above the mark, but it probably is
not far from the truth. The other
report that she is trying to float loan
of $3.50, 900, 900 in Paris is an indica-
tion that the struggle is beginning to
make drain on her resources. In
the latter part of the civil war the
cost of the conflict to the United
States government was at the rate of
50, 200, 600 day, but, of course, the
expense was inflated largely by the
fact that it was measured IN green
backs, which for a long time were
worth less than SOC on the dollar.

The republican state convention
has brought together some of the
cleverest men in Indiana A few Of
them may object to the appelation of
politician, but no higher compliment
could be paid any man.
The man is extremely fortunate who
can and does live up to the full mean
ing of the word. The politician is a
man who keeps in close touch with
local, state and national affairs. He
must be on the right side of public
questions, else be will fail of standing
with any and all parties. The right
side does not mean that he necessarily
must be democrat or republican,
but that in the advocacy of platforms
for either party he must stand for the
good of the community and state,
though small differences may exist On
strict party lines.
The politician is a power in the
community in which he lives for the
reason that he is ready to advocate 10
district and state conventions, the
honest views Of his constituents. The
man who stands for self alone can
not carry great weight in convention.
The people must be behind him.
Politicians have existed SiDce the
world began, and they have succeed ed
through the centuries in building up
governments which today are nearer
perfection than ever before.

Browns Opinion OF America.

Mr.. Walter Brown, convicted for
improperly and illegally using the
funds of the Indiana National Bank
at Elkbart, is very angry becagse of
his conviction. Mr.. Brown and his
fellow conspiratorS are now in the
Leavenworth prison.
AS the latter institution was ap-
preached Mr.. Brown S bitterness found
voice. He is quoted as saying:
sWe talk of Russia as a cruel and
liberUy-robbing nation. Well, | don L
think A merica Is much better. l want
my boy to grow up and lose his Amer
lean citizenship as soon as he can.''
A careful consideration of the evil
dence against Brown fails to discover
a proper cause for his impeachment of
this liberty loving country, whatever
Brown may think of it.
Mr.. Brown proceeded to loot bank,
with the aid of his relatives. He did
not 60 to the institution in the dark
of the moon with jimmy and stuck
of dynamite, but be did not go in and
take the money, giving in return
paper that was worthless-he clearly
established the fine social and business
difference between the jimmy gentle
man and Brown, the tinancier.
Financier Browns criticisms of the
country are preiudiced. Men that
''feel the halter draw" are not likely
to have good opinion of the law.
Nor will his wish that his son shall re-
ject us deter the law courts from 60
ing about the stern but not unpleas-
ant duty of putting wreckers of banks
where they properly belong.-Indlan-

Pope Plus has the idea of the race
question that every christian, of what
ever station in life, should maintain.
According to recent letter from the
head of the Catholic church TO Car
dinal Gibbons the pope is of the opin-
ion that the negro in this country is
entitled to all the justice granted to
other men by the laws of the land,
and treatment in keeping with the
tenets of christianity. That is the
right entiment.-South Bend Trib-

The Progress Of Congress.

Though the present congress is
more distinguished by the important
measures it has ignored than by those
it has acted upon, there is neverthe-
less one thing to which it can point
with pride. That is the huge num-
Der of bills that It's members have in
troduced in the two houses.
The Fifty-seventh congress made
the record In this respect, with 7.445
senate bills and 1850 house bills.
The present congress, only half way
through its history, has already piled
up Is, 39e house bills and 5, 645 senate
bills, to say nothing OF its resolutions
OF various kinds, which are numbered
by the hundreds.
Thus does congress progress. Its
guiding principle appears to be that
the less legislation it intends to enact
the more strenuous it ought to be In
devising bills which it doesn't mean
to consider. Chicago Record Herald.

Mr.. M. E. King, in his article on
page 3 of this issue, says: "It has
cost me years to acquire the knowl-
edge that a young man can acquire
(now) in a two or three-years' course
in an Agricultural College," That
statement brings out very clearly
the advantage that the young men
who expect to make farming their
business have over their fathers. Not
only is the knowledge that is neces-
sary to success in farming acquired
much more quickly now, if one will
take advantage of the opportunities
offered, than was possible in the
past, when it had to be gained largely
by personal experience, but the
knowledge of the Agricultural Col
lege graduate is now much more ex-
tended and exact than was hat pos
sessed by the most intelligent and ex-
perienced farmer of fifty years ago
and less, because of the wonderful
addition to the stock of information
through scientific investigation. The
young man therefore has a double
advantage over his father and grand
father in the farming business.-Ru-
