CUT TO THE HEART.
Refusal to Buy Drink Costs the Life
of Swan Lind.

Because he had refused to buy a
drink as requested by Rene Van o.
teghen, Swan A Lind was murdered
in cold blood Tuesday night in the
rear of his barber shop at 500 South
Chaplin street, South Bend The muir
der having been comltted by Var
that place from the saloon of JUL S
Despiegelaere, 5O7 Chaplin street,
where the quarrel had started a few
moments before. Linds dearth was
due to a knife wound that entered
the breast between the second and
third ribs and which penetrated the
heart, severing the main artery. The
wounded man lived but a few NOM
ents after the fatal blow had been
struck and in his death struggles fell
against a window which was broken
with a crash that aroused the occu-
pants of the rear part of the shop.
Besides the knife wound that caused
death Lind was struck on the head
several times with some instrument
that cut several small gashes. His
nose was also broken and a cash cut
across it besides several other wounds
of lesser nature Lind was a strong
ly built man and no doubt put up a
hard fight until the weapon was
brought into play which ended his
life.

In addition to his primary election
bill, intended to provide Indiana with
complete system of primary cleo
tons, Charles o. Roemler, senator
from Marion county, will have for
introduction at the coming session of
the legislature bill designed to
make the organization of parties a
matter of prescribed legal procedure.
His bill, if it becomes a law, will do
away with political conventions and
the nomination of all party candi-
dates will become rhe direct work of
the common voters OF each party.
The plan proposed is one not yet
adopted by any state and will no
doubt meet considerable opposition.
The bill provides that the voters Of
the different parties shall, or the
same day, but at different places.
elect their precinct committeeman,
who in turn, shall elect the officers
of the committee A chairman may
remove committeeman for cause,
but may not elect his successor, this
must be done by another election in
that precinct
The precinct committeeman of a
congressional district shall meet then
and select a nominee for congress
and two members of state platform
committee. They shall elect delegates
to national political conventions in
the same way.
The state central committee
would be composed of the district
charmen. The two elected members
from each district, together with the
members of the central committee,
would compose the platform commit
tee. This would make the platform
committee composed of thirty-nine
men, though it would be optional
with the state committee whether or
not there should be party platform

A dispatch from Tokoyo state.
that the Japanese minister of hnanc,
DR.. Sakatani. regards the fact tia,
apanese 4 per cent bonds are quo ed
at a premium in Paris as sufficient
proof that his country's economic
condition is favorably regarded in
Europe.
That this should be the case de-
spite the financial burdens assumed
by his government in taking over the
railroads and despite the burdens oil
the late war, which still weigh heav-
lily upon the country, DR.. Sakatan
thinks is very gratifying. He feels
entirely confident as to the finances
provided the contracting of new
debts can be avoided.
This conditional way of putting il
does not indicate that the finance
minister is of opinion that Japan is
now in position to assume an ag
gressive attitude toward any country
that is able to defend itself
1t is not unlikely that he puts il
in this way for the purpose OF meet
ing the persistent stories emanatine
from Russia to the effect that Japar
is seeking to renew the war with thai
country, taking advantage of its do
mestic difficulties, and the not less
persistent reiteration in certain guar.
tiers of the opinion that war between
Japan and the United States is in
evitable in the not distant future.
1t would seem that there should BIZ
no need of pointing out that Japar
is really in no position at present to
seek quarrel with any country. Evil

such that she would be moved by the
plainest considerations of prudence
to cultivate the most amicable rela
tions on all sides while she is recu

Won't Get Citizenship.

In spite of the presidents recon-
mendation, no citizenship for the
people of Porto Rico will be granted
by this congress and probably not by
the next one, either The leaders,
both in the house and senate, have
come to the conclusion that the time
is not yet ripe for such action. They
have presented the matter to the
president and he is now aware that
his recommendation in this regard
will not be acted upon.
There are said to be grave matters
of public policy involved which
might be seriously complicated if cit
izenship should be granted at this
particular time to the people of Por-
to Rico. A general understanding
therefore, has been arrived at that
the political conditions not only of
Porto Rico, but of Hawaii and the
Philippines will not be seriously al
tered for some years to come, so far
as their relations with this country
are concerned. Congress is willing
to do anything in its power to pro-
mote the material welfare of the is
land population, but it does not pro-
pose to extend the franchise or Unit
ed State citizenship until conditions
change materially.

The Oil Inspector.

From Gary Indianian: Senator
Bowser now hesitates to open his
mail fearing that every envelope
holds an application for the position
Of oil Inspector.
The present incumbent Henry
Whitaker of Hammond, Moody S
and elsewhere wants reappointment
to the arduous and nerve destroying
task while his chief rival, Paul Wells
grows corns giving reasons for sue
ceeding Whitaker. The gift is SEN
atorial one and while Senator Bowser
is justified in using it to advantage
he will do it with disgust. 1t is a
sop to supple kneed mendicants for
political pap and there is no thought
of the qualifications of the applicant
1t is a disgraceful and contemptibl
use of public money, legalized petit
larceny.
The Inspector is supposed to test
oils, using an outfit given by the oil
company and which of course is
charged some place against the con-
sumner while as a matter of fact he
is an Inspector in name only and
would not know the terms used in
the work if they spoke to him. The
tests are made by the company's EN-
ployes and turned over to the state
official who acknowledges them and
forwards them to Sid Conger at In
dianapols, SO that the state is cheat
ed and the only persons benehtei
are the employe and company.

1t is said that evidence in
troduced at the court-martial Of
Major Penrose, who was command
ing the battalion of negroes of the
25th infantry at the time of the raid
at Brownsville, will show that con
spiracy has existed among the negr,
soldiers of the three companies fol-
a long time before these outrages
On the night of the raid when an in.
vestigation was made, noncommis'
stoned negro officers reported sol
diers present in the barracks who
IT was learned afterward, had beer
away from the barracks for two
hours that night. Three of the negro
non-commissioned officers made 9th
er false reports that night concerning
the raid of those absent or knowledge
of the white officers.
1t will be shown by the evidence
that the white officers did everything
possible to discover the raiders, bu
that they were baffled by the com
bined plot of the three companies
one soldier admitting that it mean
death to him to make any statement
1t will also be shown that the live,
of the officers had been threatened OF
more than one occasion, but tina
the authors of the threats could no
be discovered.

The Jag Plug.

Some inventive genius has hit on
a plan for circumventing the liquor
law out in Kansas. 1t is called the
lag plug" 1t is simply a combina-
ton of hops and other things COM
pressed in the form of a tobacco
plug, which, when dissolved in from
four to six gallons of water, makes
what is POLITICALLY termed the amber
fluid" Even the state board of health
has investigated and officially and
personally decided that the plugs are
all right All that thirsty Kansans
have to do when dry is to break of
a piece of plug, drop it in a glass OF
water and have a refreshing drink,
which is said to have all the quail
tiles of the "real thing Maybe the
Jag plug has come to solve the sa
loon question. There will be no need
for bars if a compressed key of the
German beverage can be carried
around in the pocket like plug OF
tobacco.-Indianapolis Independent.
