Presidents Trip Assured.

All opposition to the Presidents
coming to Indianapolis on Memorial
day seems to have been stamped out
before it reached the White House.
Secretary Loeb said that the White
House has no information whatever
of the matter except that CLEANED
from the newspapers. Mr.. Loeb is
proceeding on the theory that the
trip will be made on schedule time
and is preparing to make all neces-
sary arrangements toward that end
Senator Beverage Tuesday intro
duced to the President Dr. Sol C..
Dickey, president of the Technical
Institute of Indianapolis, and DIR. r
NJ Russell, president of Westminis-
ter Collegc of New Wilmington, Pa
The President was asked if he would
not make a speech before the trade
convention to meet in the Technical
Institute May 20, 30 and 81 The
President is to speak in indianapolis
May 30 upon the occasion of unveil-
ing of monument to Gen. Henry
Nv. Lawton, and his visitors hoped
that he will have time to make an
other speech and he is thinking it
over.

Whisky and Tobacco.

Professor Bailey of Yale has re-
vealed the relative expenditures OF
students working their way through
college and those who pay their way.
He makes a curious showing. For ex-
ample, that wealthy students spend
more on intoxicants than on tobacco.
Evidently he does not rank tobacco
as a dissipation" in the popular
sense. He adds that they spehd eigh-
teen times as much on pleasures and
eighty-two times as much on tobacco
and drinks as the poor working stu
dents. There's nothing very surpris-
ing in that They probably spend rel
atively as much more on everything
The really interesting thing would be
to follow these boys into life and
compare the results at the end oil
their generation.

Uncle Sans Balance Sheet.

There ought to be rejoicing among
the heads of the financial department
of the government. Day by day the
treasury returns make better showing
when compared with those of recent
times Along to this date the govern
ment's income for March has been
about s5,OOO,O 900 in excess of its outgo
For the almost nine months which
have elapsed since the beginning of
the fiscal year 1907 the government
has taken in about $46,OOO,0OO more
than it has paid out. At this time in
the fiscal year 1906 the excess of rev.
enue over expenditures was only s425-
900, yet in the three months and one
week separating this date from the
end of the year on June 30, 1906, the
surplus was RIM up to $26,000,000.
1t is evident now that the surplus
for the fiscal year 1907 will be con-
siderably over s6O,OOO,OOO. If the re-
mainder of the present fiscal year
should make as good showing as the
corresponding time did year ago the
surplus for the current twelvemonth
will be $7O,OOO,0OO This is so much
better than the showing of any recent
year that the government and the
people are to be congratulated on the
situation Not since 1902 has the sur
plus for any year been greater than
that for 1907 will be. The cut in war
taxes about that time reduced the
revenue largely. While there was a
surplus of $54,OOO,0OO in 1903 there
was a deficit of 100000 in 1904,
and of $4,000, 900 in 1905. The up
ward swing brought surplus of
$50, 100000 for 1905, and the s6O,OOO,-
900 rk will be left behind in 1907
! For several reasons this favorable
treasury situation ought to please the
country. 1t will serve to head off any
scares regarding the financial stua-
ton, will stop all calamity bowling in
1908, will give the government a
chance to make the needed appropria,
tons for the improvement OF the
country's highways, and will encour-
age BUSINESS men to go right on with
their enterprises Incidentally, too
this growing surplus is a triumph for
Republican hnanciering, and affords q
reasonable assurance that the Amer
lean people in 1908 will give the Re-
publican party new mandate to run
the government for at least four
years more.

Brownsville DEVELOPMENTS.

The court-martial investigating the
case of Major Penrose exonerates
him from blame in the Brownsville
shooting affair, but finds that the
shooting was done by men of the
Twenty Infantry. Testimony
before the Senate committee leads to
the same conclusion. There is no
reason to suppose that the inquiry
has been conducted in either case
with any other desire than to get at
the exact truth. 1t may be assumed
at least that the military court was
entirely fair, and if the Senate COM
mittee is biased in any direction it is
not that of the presidential view.
Disposition has been manifested by
the Presidents critics to put him In
the wrong in this matter, and certain
newspapers have in advance assumed
the case to be settled against him,
yet as the facts come out they go to
show that he knew precisely what he
was doing in holding the soldiers
guilty of the offense charged. Presi-
dent Roosevelt does many things on
impulse and now and then finds it
necessary to take the back track,
but it was not to be believed that he
would pursue the course he did in
dismissing the soldiers from the army
had he not held convincing evidence
of their guilt

Negroes Killed by officers.

Muskogee, |. T. March 26.-As a
result of a fight between members of
an organization of negroes known as
the United Socialists on one side and
city and government officers on the
other, late this afternoon, John Co
field, a white police officer, was shot
through the body just above the heart
and will die; Guy Fisher, white, a
clerk in q wholesale grocery estab-
lishment, was shot through the
shoulder; Sam and Ebert Barker and
man named Scott, all negroes, are
dead; two other negroes, whose
names can not be learned, were badly
wounded and are in hiding with
friends, and six negroes are in Jail.
The United Socialists. are establish
ed in many Indian Territory towns
and one of their claims is that the
United States authorities have no
jurisdiction over its members. The
leader of the organization, William
Wright, a negro preacher, is among
those arrested.

Indiana Veterans Refused Rates.

Col. ]. r. Fesler, assistant adjutant
general the State G. A. R., has just
been notified that the railroads will
not grant to the old veteran 'f~ GUS
tomary one cent a mile rate to the
state encampment at Fort Wayne
May 90, "a and 25. For years past
the railroads have granted this one
cent mile rate TO the encampment.
The letter of c. p. Mcdonald, the
commissioner of the central passen-
ger bureau, is not elaborate 1t
merely states that inasmuch as the
two-cent rate will be in effect at the
time of the encampment it will no.,
be best to make the reduction.
This is the first of the series of re,
fusals to come, it seems. The exper-
fence of the other states which have
adopted the two-cent fare is that the
railroads have stopped making rates,
and there is no reason to believe that
the experience of Indiana will be diff
ferent from the experience of her Sis
ter states

If every landowner would plant in
every available place such trees az
would not only give present beauty,
but also insure a future supply of
valuable timber, it would SO supple
ment the larger work of govern
ment forest reserve that reforestation
and the preservation of an adequate
supply of good timber would be much
simplifed. The precious and almost
indispensable white oak is naturally
only forest tree, but the black wal
NUT, which intrinsically is even more
valuable, will grow almost anywhere
and in a much shorter time and will
pay for itself from the time it be-
gins to bear. The same is true of the
chestnut There is no question that
cabinet woods will always be in de-
mand, for no other material can pos
sibly take the place of wood in the
making of furniture-Craftsman

Congressional Privilege.

The question whether member OF
congress can be imprisoned upon be-
ing found guilty on a criminal charge
is involved in the case of Represen-
tative John Newton Williamson, OF
Oregon.
In 1905 Williamson with others
was found guilty on the charge of
conspiracy to unlawfully secure Unit
ed States lands, and was about to be
sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
serve ten months in prison when he
made protest that his imprisonment
would prevent him from attending
sessions of congress, from which de-
privation he claimed protection I'M
der the constitution, and when the
protest was overruled he appealed to
the supreme court.

Anticipating the new fish law which
permits fishing with hook and line
at all seasons of the year in the lakes
and streams of Indiana, State Fish
and Game Commissioner l.. L.
Sweeney has issued instructions to ali
of his deputies in the state not to
make further arrests of persons
found fishing with hook and line. The
deputies have announced the informa-

The closed season during which
time fishing with hook and line is
prohibited under the present law is
from March 20 TO May Is. But this
law will be repealed by the new

new law will be declared in force

Labor Unions and Politics.

The Labor Council of San Fran
cisco has, with practical unanimity,
adopted a resolution repudiating the
so-called Labor Union party" which
elected Mayor Schmitz, under whose
administration has occurred accord
ing to evidence produced in the Cal
ifornia courts, the worst carnival of
debauchery of pubic officials by evil
resorts and public service corpora
lions that has ever been laid bare in
state where rottenness has flourish
ed TO an unusual extent. The Labor
Council very properly includes in its
resolution the statement that 1t ex-
lists for workingmen and not for pol
iticians and that as an organization
it keeps out of politics. While the
wrong done to the interests of labor
by the use which Smitz and his
crowd have made of labor organiza-
tons may have had something to do
with this declaration, it outlines a
wise policy. Men who seek to involve
labor organizations in politics usually
have at heart not the interests of
labor, but the interests of individuals
who wish to prostitute these organi-
cations to their own selfish purposes.

STRIKES AT TAFT.
Action of Ohio Senator Opens His
Fight for Presidency.

The fight to determine whom Ohio
Republicans will support for presi-
dent at the next election came into
the open Tuesday when Senator For
aker issued statement which is in
terpreted to be a step toward paving
the way for his own nomination and
in opposition to Secretary Taft's
boom.
Mr.. Foraker does not say that he
will be candidate TO succeed Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but it is generally
understood among his friends in
Washington that at later date he
will formally announce his candidacy
and that if the primary election is
called in Ohio he will enter into the
fight to secure the Endorsement of his
own state.
Senator Fo akr's statement is as
follows:
Il have been so busily occupied
that | have had neither time nor dis
position even to think about politics,
either state or national especially pol
itics that belong TO next year
ut, seems to me premature to be
now discussing what is so far ahead
However, in view of the. interviews
and announcements of one kind and
another that are appearing in the
newspapers | feel that | may with
propriety say that not want any
political honors from the Republicans
of Ohio without their hearty approx
al.
'In order that there may be no
doubt as to their preferences | shall
at the proper time request the Re-
publican state centrau committee to
issue a call for Republican state
convention to be composed of dele
gates elected by the Republicans oil
the state at duly authorized primary
elections for the purpose not only of
nominating candidates for state Of
ces TO be voted for at our next state
election but also to determine the
preference of the Republicans of
Ohio as TO candidates for United
States senator and for president.
"If this suggestion should meet
with favor it should be provided that
the primary elections shall be held at
convenient time long enough after
the call therefor has been issued to
enable all who are interested in the
work of the convention so TO be
chosen to appear before the people
and discuss the public questions
about which we are all concerned, so
that the people who are interested
may act intelligently in the selection
of their delegates, thus bringing this
selection as nearly to direct popu-
La vote as is possible under the laws
now in force
II have no. opinions to conceal
from my constituents and there is
no point in my public record as to
which ] am not ready to render them
a full account"

Business Men and Politics.

Talking to the Agate club in Chi
cago Monday night, W. ]. Bryan en-
larged upon the not altogether orig
inal proposition that business men
should take a more active interest in
political affairs in order that a gov
eminent based upon stronger founda.
tons of justice may be built up. Mr.
Bryan seems to have forgotten that
with this end in view business men
took such lively interest in political
affairs in 1896 and again in 1900 that
they contributed very greatly to the
defeat of one William Jennings Bry-
an to the presidency in both those
years.

Paxpers Must Work or Leave.

Twelve inmates of the Porter coun-
ty infirmary left that institution with
in the last few days because of an
order issued by the superintendent
that hereafter all persons taken care
of during the winter must work on
the farm during the summer if they
expect to be cared for another win
ter. For several years Porter county
has had to care for from fifteen to
twenty people, who make good wages
during the summer, and spent the
greater portion of their wages for
booze, and then returned to the
in6rinary for shelter while it was
cold The county commissioners
have determined to stop the practice

Bryan and Fairbanks.

In an interview at Detroit Colonel
Bryan denied emphatically that he
had selected Mayor Tom L. Johnson
of Cleveland, as his compaign man
ager. Colonel Bryan desires it to be
distinctly understood that he has by
no means decided to again become a
presidential candidate. There is no
occasion for rushing that point. 1t is
clear to everybody that if Colonel
Bryan desires the nomination, he can
get it by simply saying so. He need
not even ask for it. By common con,
sent that post of honor has been con
ceded to the eloquent Nebraskan. If
his mind could be read, the fact
would probably be revealed that in
case such a man as Fairbanks should
happen to be the Republican nominee
Colonel Bryan would unquestionably
become the standard bearer of the
opposition.-South Bend Times.

Before proceeding to Washington
the distinguished coterie of railroad
presidents should take sufficient time
to concoct a bamboozling hypotheti-
cal question to hurl at the chief mag
istrate.
Justice Fitzgerald has appointed a
lunacy commission, composed CT not
ed men, to inquire into the sanity of
Harry K. Thaw. The slayer OF STAN
ford White fears a cell in TIE insane
asylum more than he does the cleo
trio chair 1t is our opiEion that he
showed better judgment from the
start than his lawyers did He in
sisted that the plea of insanity should
not be made and that the case should
be tried on its merits, re,y;ag on tn =
unwritten law for verdict of acquit-
tai. Had his attorneys iollowed his
advice Thaw would now be a free
man. If the commission now decides
that he is sane the case Will go on
and his lawyers will stiIl argue that
he was insane just long enough to
kill White.
