A red hot political fight is on in
Chicago-not between Democrats
and Republicans, but among Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. This is oc-
casioned by the fact that primary
elections under the new law will be
held next Saturday All parties make
their nominations by ballot On that
day Republicans lampoon Republs-
can whom they don't want as candi-
dates, and Democrats indulge in the
same practice. A good deal of nasti-
ness is thus brought ii light, bar
that doesn't shock Chicago Il IS
used to such things.

One Dav in Seven.

A bill providing for one compul-
sorry day of rest in every week was
lately passed by the French Cham
Der of Deputies 1t is not intended
as Sunday law" and is not based
on religious ideas, but is recogni-
ton of the scientific and economic
fact that continuous employment
leads to the physical and mental de-
terioration of the worker and conse-
quently affects the industrial output.
In France and other counties of
continental Europe Sunday is not de
voted to religious observance, but is
regarded rather as day of recrea-
ton for the multitude Where many
take their pleasure, however, many
more must necessarily be employed
in providing for those who Sc * en-
joyment. All means of transit are in
operation more actively on that day
than any other; hotels and restau-
rants have their best custom then
and places of amusement their great
| est patronage. All these industries
and enterprises are therefore in oper-
alton seven days in the week, and
the tendency is to keep the same
workmen constantly employed with
out any day of rest. Often it is
their preference, because in that way
they earn more money.
1t is not proposed by the new
French law to check Sunday Business
but to provide that on some one day
of the seven each worker shall be
free Presumably hte labor element
lis back of the measure, though this
is not stated, but in any case it is a
reform of importance. Men work
better and are better physically. in
'ellectually and morally when they
have a day in the week to themselves
for rest and wholesome recreation.
unless employers are compelled to
grant it to them they viii not al
ways get this benefit, and tie action
of the French House of Deputies is,
therefore, practical move.

George F. Steele, one of our well
known farmers. had a strange ex-
perience Sunday. Two or three
fingers of one of his hands had been
stiff about 35 years as result OF
catarrh. During the storm last Sur
day he stepped to the door TO fasten
the screen and placed one hand on
the telephone and as he did so re-
ceived slight shock of lightning
Immediately Mr.. Steele noticed
that the stiff fingers had become per-
fectly timber and they have remain
ed so ever since. He now has as
good use of the fingers as he ever
had. Mr.. Steele is now a firm be-
lever in the efficacy of electricity as
a curative agent. but he wouldn't as
a rule. recommend taking the cure
in the way he did.-Walkerton Inde-

MEYER FOR CABINET.
Ambassador to Russia Will Succeed
Bonaparte.

Rumors current some time ago
that George L. Meyer, ambassador
to Russia, would quit his post at St.
Petersburg and become a member of
the Roosevelt cabinet are now fully
confirmed. The latest news from ST.
Petersburg regarding Ambassador
Meyers plans indicate that the cab
met changes which will make room
for him at the presidents council
table are not far distant
1t is probable that Attorney-Gen-
eral Moody would have retired from
the cabinet some time ago TO engage
in the private practice of law, had
not the antitrust suits. come to the
front so prominently. Having taken
an important part in the work of pre-
pairing for the trial of the Standard
Oil cases Mr. Moody wishes to see
the prosecution fully under way be-
fore relinquishing the portfolio. The
suits will be we'll along before snow
flies in the north.
Secretary Bonaparte is slated to
succeed Attorney General Moody and
Ambassador Meyer is slated to sue
coed Mr. Bonaparte as head of the
navy department.
When Mr.. Meyer becomes secre-
tary of the navy-for it is regarded
as so much of certainty IN Wash
ington that it is hardly necessary
to qualify it with any doubt-he will
bring to that position an expert
knowledge such as has not been pos
sessed by any predecessor of recent
memory At the very present he is
utilizing his position in the diplomat
ic service to make systematic study
of the general navy situation in Fu-
rope, and so will be able TO take
charge of the American naval service
in manner that would not be ex
pected of man chosen from private
life, no matter what his interest in
it may have been or how Jealous he
might be in its upbuilding.

Mrs. Ferdinand Reese, tne oldest
woman in Indiana and probably in
the United States, died Sunday
morning AZ the age of liz years al
the Laporte county infirmary where
she had been for the past four years
The woman had the distinction of
having lived in three centuries, doc
uments in her possession showing
that she was born in Volgravitz,
Poland, in 1894. Up to few years
ago she recalled quite wildly the Wis
it to Poland of the Corsican advent
urer, who after the refusal of En-
peror Alexander of Russia in 1912
to carry out the continental system,
invaded that country with an army
OF 100000 men and devastated the
villages, burned the crops and pillag
ed the houses. Upon the return OF
the soldiers through the village Mrs.
Reese, then a young woman, saw
many soldiers, who, being unable to
withstand the rigors of the Northern
cline, dropped by the wayside and
froze to death.

The Chronicle of last week after
printing statement in regard to the
call for the Republican convention
which Boys knew was a point blank
lie, abuses Mr.. Hendricks and de-
nounces the call because it specifies
that the names of the persons who
have accepted nomination from
any other convention shall not be
considered in the Republican con-
vention. Mr. Boys and all other
boilers know, or ought to know, tina,
the election laws of Indiana preclude
the placing of the same name on
more than one ticket See section
"a of the general election laws. Con-
sequently the committee was only
reiterating the law in their call. No
persons name can appear on two
tickets; but Boys & Co., it seems
wish to violate this law as they have
other laws since they began their
career as boilers from the Republi-
can party.

The suggestion made by President
Roosevelt that an inheritance tax
might become necessary to insure an
equitable distribution of dangerously
swollen fortunes has been widely
discussed. Most of the comments of
social and political economists have
favored the proposition. A graded
income and inheritance tax seems to
furnish the most equitable means OF
meeting the expensesfof government
and If the "grade" be such as to bear
heavily upon enormous incomes or
fortunes, the equity seems to be only
the more apparent.
But one objector comes in Prof
James Walter Crook, of Amherst,
whoever he may be. His objections
are two-fold First, that it would
discourage the private enterprise
which is necessary to the accumula-
ton of fortune and which Indirect
ly stimulates general prosperity;
and. secondly. that the large sums
which would come into the treasury
by means of this excessive revenue
would encourage extravagant expen-
diture. He thinks it reverses the
maxim that those who spend should
be held to strict account by those
who pay, by holding the payer to ac-
count by the spender.
Prof. Crook may be better in poll
teal economy than in logic, other
wise his opinion can not be weighty.
does he rot perceive that one of his
objections totally destroys the 9TH
err? If the encouragement of grad
ed taxation prevents the enterprise
that would accumulate fortunes.
there will certainly be no enormous
revenue to encourage extravaganza

Discusses Mitchell Boom.

In two column article Saturday
the indianapolis News discusses the
vice-presidential boom of John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America.
The News takes the position. that
it is not at all an unlikely matter to
conceive of Mitchells being nomin-
ated on the Democratic ticket for the
second place, and that, what is more
significant, it is not unlikely THAI he
would accept such nomination.
The News points out that where
as, in the past, when political hopors
have been proposed for Mlitchen, he
has Immediately disclaimed them, he
has not done so this time. He has
not come out with positive state
ment that he would consider the
question of following his name to be
used in connection with the vice
presidential nomination. He has
hedged the question.
The position is taken in this article
that Mitchell is very available mater
ial for the second place on the Dem
ocratic ticket. He is a sane leader
of labor; labor has determined to &c
into politics; Mitchell himself has
advocated the participation of the
laboring man ii, politics; he has
standing with the conservative ele-
ment of the people, and the conf
dence of the working element
Over against these advantages, the
following disadvantages are named
he has no money; he would be op-
posed by the larger captains of in
iustry; he is antagonized by the 9TH
er labor leaders, who are regarded
as being jealous of him.
Then, again. the question of so
cialism comes in. If the labor move
ment is to be a socialistic move
nent, Mitchell will stay out, for he
has always stood against the social
lists in the miners organization.

at hotel in Logansport and were
assigned to rooms 213. 313 and Alb.

Boyd and Rankin preferred to con-
tinue the chase and the following
morning it was again taken up and
the party proceeded to Chicago.

The officers then returned to
North Judson, and arrested the other
man. Downey was the man who had
threatened to do the killing, but he
wiltcd when the marshals and the
Inspector appeared, and made no at
tempt TO use the revolver which was
afterward found in his pocket. With

turned TO Logansport and were again

William Jennings Bryan attempted
to take active charge of the Dem
ocratic party Tuesday by taking a
hand in Illinois politics and ordering
National Committeeman Roger O..
Sullivan to resign his Office, which
the newly hailed leader of Democ-
racy declared had been gained
through fraud. Refusing point blank
to accede to the request of Bryan,
Mr.. Sullivan issued statement de-
nouncing the Dunlap Thompson
clique, which he charged with induc-
ing the Nebraskan to NEEDLE in IL
linois affairs, and he administered a
rebuke to Bryan himself by stating
that the Democrats will not accept
autocratic leaders or czardom
Il would like to remind Mr.. Bry-
an" concluded Mr.. Sullivan in his
retort, that the fundamental prin-
ciples of Democracy of which he
speaks do not include recognition of
political czardom Democrats may
have their leaders, the leaders MAJ,
have their followers, but their lead
ers will never be autocrats and the
followers will never be serfs obcdi-
ent to the orders prompted by court
favorites."
That the request of Bryan was
prompted by Willard F. Dunlap.
leader of the Dunlap clique which
fought him so bitterly at the state
convention, was the contention of
Mr.. Sullivan in his reply. which he
issued in order to Offset the influence
of the public command to discredit
him issued by Bryan
