81 know that the law imposed upon
Secretary Wilson a responsibility and
that he is too courageous and too loyal
to try and unload that responsibility
upon. any other human being, whoever
he may be. Twenty-one years ago last
spring, U. S. Grant was writing his
memoirs at time when his very life
poor, and he was struggling on in the
hope that the product of his literary
labor might support his family when
he was gone. At that time, when he
was displaying more of heroism than
he ever displayed on any battlefield Of
the civil war, bill was pending in the
congress of the United States to put
him upon the retired list of the army,
While that bill was pending here for
his retirement there was also pending
contest for the purpose of unseating
as member of this chamber this same
James Wilson of Iowa. Under the
rules then in force a filibuster was go,
ing on to prevent his being unseated.
At last, realizing that if that filibuster
were continued to save him, the bill
| for the retirement of U. S. Grant could
not pass in that congress, which was
| then drawing to close. James viii.
| son stood upon desk in the rear OF
where now stand and appealed to his
republican brethren to allow him to
be sacrificed and cast out of this
house that U. S. Grant might be placed
upon the retired list and thus hope and
joy be carried to the patient sufferer
at Mount Macgregor.
The same devotion to his friends
the same loyalty to his duty, the same
willingness to sacrifice himself fol
others, has always characterized plain

Washington, D. c., June 19.-(spe-
cial. - A well-known advertising
phrase has been paraphrased by GER
tain parties in Washington and in the
house to when in doubt lay it on
Secretary Wilson"
It is a very chilly day when some
cotton jobber or other agent cannot
dig up some charge against Secretary
Wilson and he manages to find some
obscure member of congress who is
willing to father his plant. The fact
that Secretary Wilson has performed
more actual valuable service in the in
terest of the farmers and stoclSraisers
of the United States, and thereby has
people, Indirectly than all other secre-
taries Of agriculture combined, is ad-
mitted by practically everybody, but
this does not prevent these periodical
outbreaks and picking of flaws in his
administration and the ever recurrent
story that he is to be asked to resign
from the cabinet,
Smith Defends Wilson.
The latest roar has to do with the
erection Of the new building for the
use of the department An appropria-
ton was made for this purpose and
Mr.. Wilson went ahead to use it SO
the government would get something
out of the appropriation. Because this
did not please certain people Secretary
Wilson was charged with misuse Of
funds and other crimes. There was SO
little in the whole tempest in tea
pot that an extended explanation was
not deemed necessary. However, Con
gresham Smith of Iowa, who Is a
member of the appropriations commit
tee, took occasion day or two ago to
state the case. He defended the sec
rotary in the following forceful man
ner:
"Mr. Chairman. during the general
van of Massachusetts criticised the &C
ton of Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
In connection with the buildings for
which this proposed appropriation is
to be made. want to say at the out
set that, In my judgment the secre-

one. do not believe that the statute

culture authorized the construction 81
the two buildings now in the course
of construction.
But if understood the gentleman
from Massachusetts correctly, he not
only charged that an erroneous con
struction had been put upon the
statute, but charged that the secretary

| in wages annually. During the decade
! from 1890 to 1900 Indianapolis had
larger percentage of growth than any
city in America of it's class. When you
ask a citizen of Indianapolis the rea-
son for this growth and for the amaz-
! ing development of the business Of the
/ city since 1900, they have but one reply
to give. 1t is interurban railway lines.
1t goes without saying that Indianapo-
lis has an excellent system Of public
| schools which are entirely divorced
from politics. The system embraces
60 graded schools and two high
schools, one of them being manual and
one academic. The city Is the
seat of Butler College, Indiana
medical college, Central medical col
lege. Indianapolis Law college and the
Winona Technical institute, which,
with others, constitute the Indianapo
lis University.
Indianapolis Is the twentieth city In
population in the United States and Is
city of churches, the Methodist be
| ing the leading denomination. There
are 46 Methodist churches, ~ Baptist
10 Presbyterian, 16 Christian, IL Cath
Ole, 8 Lutheran, Congregational, I
Episcopalian and the remainder are di
yided among the less conspicuous de
nominations. The total value Of
church property is between three and
four million dollars.
A Charming Home City.

predominating. A characteristic of the
city is the absence Of great fortune:

1883 for the purpose Of promoting lit

of agriculture had Intentionally acted
Illegally. From that proposition must
dissent. The secretary Of agriculture
has been a citizen of Iowa for more
than fifty years, and from the hour
that he became citizen Of that state
there has never been, SO far as know,
a man between the Mississippi and the
Missouri river who doubted his hon
esty Of purpose or the integrity of his
conduct. The secretary of agriculture
came to his present Office with a
higher training than any man that ever
filled that position. We have had able
men to fill that Office, but never had
a man before who, through long
course of years, had received special
training for that place. He had long
been member of the faculty Of one
of the largest and best agricultural
colleges on the continent. He came to
his present high Office with extraordi-
nary training and has filed it with ex-
traordinary credit; and it is my judg-
ment that in the last eight years there
has been no more popular member Of
the cabinet than sterling old James
Wilson.
A Bit Of History.
Il regret that there is any doubt as
to the buildings conforming to the true
construction of the law authorizing
them; but have no doubt Of the high
purpose which led the secretary Of ag
riculture to enter upon the construc
ton of those buildings. am prepared
to go even further than that. and say
that, in my judgment, the act we
passed was mistake, and that the

his mistakes in this matter has done
his duty as he saw it. and has not tried
to unload responsibility on anybody
else.'
The remarks of Judge Smith were
greeted with tremendous applause and
the amendment that had been pro-
posed was withdrawn. 1t is admitted
that Secretary Wilson did not comply
literally with the law in regard to the
construction of the building. but it is
admitted that the law was even a
greater blunder and that had Secre.
tary Wilson followed it's exact provis.
ions serious mistake would have
been made.

indianapolis: The Heart OF Civilization
BY a. w. LEE

The twenty-frst convention Of the
National Editorial Association of the
United States was held in the city If
indianapolis last week. The meeting
was one of the most successful ever
held by the association. Indianapolis
is an ideal convention CITY, 1t has
splendid hotel accommodations and it
has a cordial welcome for all visitors.
1t has commercial club composed of
1900 Of the leading business and pro-
fessional men of that city and this
club stands for the betterment of In
dianapolis. The mission of the club Is
to give assistance to every branch Of
manufacturing and trade and. to lend
its influence in shaping legislation IN
the interest OF Indianapolis and the
state at large; also to advertise the
city and exploit it's many advantages
as manufacturing point and a place
Of residence.
indianapolis Is Wonder.
TO the visitor who has not seen In
dianapolis during the past five or six
years, the Indianapolis of 1906 is a
wonder. 1t has a population of 240,-
900, is located within fifty miles of
Che most extensive coal fields in the
world and is less than twenty-five
miles from the center of population
OF the United States. 1t has eighteen
railroads and fourteen interurban
electric lines which bring into Indian
apolis an enormous trading popula-
ton. The interurban development in
the last six years, with Indianapolis
as center, has been something amaZ-
ing. The result has been an increase
In property values, rent values and a
growth not only in retail but in whole
sale business that has surprised every
one familiar with the situation. In
dianapolis is today the greatest inter
urban center on the globe, all the lines
terminating at magnificent traction
terminal building in the heart of the
city, and which is said to be the only
exclusive interurban station in the
world. More than 600 electric cars
center this traction terminal station
each day, and the census figures show
that 100000 people, by reason of the
interurban lines, are within two hours
ride of the heart of the city

WHERE ARE THEFISH
THAT ARE DUE
THOUSANDS OF FINE SALMON Be
ING CAUGHT IN MONTEREY BAY
OVER. STAYING THEIR TIME
THERE PROBABLY

Apropos Of the salmon traditions OF
this upper coast, that the gamey fish
for which this section is famous, al.
ways touches in at Monterey bay, just
south OF San Francisco, for a few weeks
before making the final migration to
these waters, the following taken from
the last number of the San Francisco
Bulletin, may be by way Of accounting
for the present remarkable and deplor-
able non.appearance of the vast schools
for which the northern fishermen and
cannerymen are so patiently waiting
and which may yet reach here in time
for the fall season, The Bulletins
Monterey correspondent says:
Salt water angling on the Santa Cruz
and Capitola side Of Monterey bay has
been exceptionally good for the past
two weeks. The fish most desired and
which furnish the best sport are the
guinnat salmon. These royal game fish
have been more numerous recently than
for several years past. In size the
average is a bit less than the grand fish
hooked about five years ago. The
salmon are still swimming in schools
but will soon bunch and then head north
for the bay river waters, ETC., in order
to reach the spawning grounds. Mont
erey bay is at present full of enor-
nous schools of sardines, upon
which everything larger in the water or
air down about that section feed upon.
Now and then there is a change in
the routine and the angler has either
an exciting adventure OF pulls something
extraordinary out of the water. Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram X. Pierce, two popular
Oakland members of the smart set,
stopping at the Sea Beach Hotel. are
both enthusiastic anglers and have made
several record catches of salmon this
season. Mr.. Pierce on Saturday hooked
into an immense sun fish and had the
time of his life bringing the fish to gaff.
These bulky and curious sea creatures
use all head and pectoral fins, and are
as inert, so far as a fight is concerned,
as box of gum boots. From all that,
the handling of fish Of 200 pounds
weight requires skill and stamina. When
the big sun fish was towed to the wharf
it was the center of attraction for hours.
"Last Saturday Otto Feudner, Clarence
Nauman and Ed Schultz. the local trap
shooting cracks, went out after salmon
and made u total catch of six salmon
and IL barracuda.
"AIiss Tillie Brohaska and Commodore
Taylor of San Jose caught II fish on
Saturday. Miss Brohaska's take was 10
