The American Boy for January.
The January American Boy is

Our Hoosier Budget.
Portland, Ind, Dec. 81, 19

Portland, Ind, Dec. 81, 1906.
This will be our last budget
until we write from the noun
tains of Tennessee. Well write
unless too much mountain dew is
absorbed as to muddle our fac
ulties.
Our Christmas passed off nice
ly and Santa brought US a nice
pair of slippers and other articles
of real value as keepsakes.
Trade in our city was never
better, the cash sales far exceed
ing former years.
On Saturday next, ]. Wilber
Chapman will begin series of
meetings at the M. E. church
here and we hope much good
may be done for Christianity.
The weather has been very
nice. On two or three mornings
last week the mercury dropped
to eight degrees below; one per-
son who came to Portland to win
ter said his thermometer showed
twelve below-but he was from
North Dakota. That was only a
chilly blast or the switch end of
a Dakota blizzard. You can't
get a North Dakota man to say
it is cold up there. 1t is now
raining, with a prospect for cool
er weather.
Tomorrow we will have to be
content with the common barn
yard fowl for our dinner, but in
a few days we will be on the
mountains where perhaps we can
get corn bread, sweet potatoes
and possum.
Quite a number of young peo-
pie were married last week and
we hope Dan Cupid did his work
so we'll that the courts may not
sever a single marriage tie.
Health seems very good here
so the undertakers can enjoy the
holidays without interruption.
We were sorry to hear of the
death of John Townsend. He
was one of the first men we ever
knew, and always found him to
be a good neighbor and citizen,
but a radical Democrat. We re-
member his good deeds, and for
get his faults.
The Frank Green House has
orders for 5000 carnation plants,
and they are trying to supply all
orders. They make daily ship
ments of flowers and in a short
time they will enlarge their plant
to double its present capacity.
They have four-fifths Of an acre
under glass now, and must dOu-
BILE their shed room. They ex-

them. But let them be made,
and if failure to perform should
result, it will doubtless not be
the first failure that has marked
the life of many a person. Let
every person resolve upon a bet
ter life for the year to come, anu
then use his best endeavor to
make it a reality. Let every one
improve upon his past life.
On Christmas Eve our M. E.
Sunday school gave an excellent
entertainment and received the
usual treat, and at same time the
occasion was improved to bestow
gifts, and a few, of course, were
exchanged. H. M. Dershem's
class presented him with a chair.
Of course, the class realized that
their teacher is growing in years
and needs seasons of repose, and
doubtless, could conceive nothing
more suitable than a chair in
which to recline and enjoy ex-
emption from the vexations of
daily toll. Mr.. Dershem, of
course, appreciated both the gift
and the motive inspiring it.
On yesterday our M. E. Sun
day school elected officers for the
coming year, as follows: P. B.
Moul, Supt.; I. M. Petersime,
Asst Supt.; Samuel Kent, Sec. !;
Sylvia Pickett, Asst Sec'y; D.
Moul, Treas. ; Maggie Murphy,
Organist; Lizzie Moul, Asst Or
ganist; Charles Stryker and Sad
lie Pickett, Librarians; Earl Luz
ena, Chorister. With this excel
lent board of officers the school
will surely make a mark of eff
cheney.
J. L. Palmer and wife were
visitors among friends here last
Friday.
The assessment of the George
ditch was heard before the COun-
ty Commissioners last Friday,
and a goodly number of our citi-
zens were there to see that no
harm should be done in over-as-
sessing any one. After discuss
ing the matter in various ways,
the assessment as made was con-
firmed, except to give Mr.. George
relief from a couple of small
tracts not in the basin of the
ditch. The estimated cost of con-
structing the ditch, with two la
teraIs and tiling same through
out, is $1432.81. Of this amount
our village is assessed 1852.
The Farmers Institute will
hold a session here in February.
Let interested persons take not
ice of this and begin preparation
for it, and plan and work to
make it a success, and get all the
good out of it that is possible.
A happy and prosperous year
to all Journal readers is the wish

The Political Outlook.
BY LEO.


desire to know who shall be the
candidates of the two nationa
parties. There is just now. WhC
shall head each ticket? AS things
appear at the present juncture
the Democratic party will nomi.
nate Bryan for the third time,
He is willing to try it again il
the party will see fit to put him
at the head of the ticket. He
thinks it an honor that no Amer
lean can afford to decline. We
think the party will nominate
him. And for this reason, he is
by far the most available man in
the party, and most widely pop
ular. If the Democrats can elect
any man in 1908 they can elect
their old candidate, w. J. Bryan.
To be sure, his pronounced
views anent government owner
ship of the trunk railroads have
cooled the ardor of many of his
old friends, and made for him
some new admirers; but still, the
Democratic party has no other
man to take his place with equal
chance of election. There are
many we'll known Democrats
who, if elected, would make ex-
cellent chief magistrates, but
Bryan is head and shoulders a.
bove them all in public esteem,
and of necessity will have to be
nominated. His election is quite
another matter. His calling is
quite sure, his election is not so
sure.
The Republicans, as things look
now, will put in nomination VIM.
Howard Taft. A great effort has
been made to induce President
Roosevelt to run again, but he
firmly, and as we think, wisely
declines. He has been a strong,
brave, strenuous chief magis-
trate. Will go down to history
as one of great celebrity. The
civilized world everywhere holds
him in admiration, and future
generations will joyfully revere
his name. He has had his time
and opportunity, and is willing to
step down and out desiring to
see elected a worthy successor.
Who is more worthy than Judge
Taft? We can think of no one.
He is a clean, patriotic, and able
statesman, a man who has ad-
orned every station he has been
called to occupy. AS judge, gov
ernor of distant and troubled ISL
ands in the Pacific, as Secretary
of War, as pacifier Of Cuba; in
brief, in all his occupations, he
has been a conspicuous success.
His character is not only above
saeproach, but is replete in all
ranly virtues, a citizen of a clean
lie and brilliant achievements in
fhe national administration.
Where can the Republicans find
Ihis equal?
There will be opposition to him
in parts of his own state, but the
very enemies he has made in the
discharge of complicated duties
reflects credit to him. Our two
Ohio senators are bitterly hostile
to Judge Taft, simply because he
overtops and overshadows them.
How could Senator Foraker en-
dure it to see Ohio having a fav-
orite son other than himselfl OF
course, he will try his best to de-
feat the Judge.
But we must bear in mind that
Hon. ]. B. Foraker has outlived
his usefulness in the Republican
party. He has become an OBJ
struction to progress, and withal
a bitter opponent Of the Republi-
CON nresident. His prestige has

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 4.-The term of
court which opened here today will
be rendered of national importance by
the trial of George Pettibone, who.
with Secretary Haywood and Presi-
dent Meyer. of the Western Federation
of Miners, was indicted for the murder
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
Judge Wood will attempt to clear
the calendar as far as possible before
beginning the Pettibone trial, which
has been set for Tuesday, October l.
Clarence Darrow, the Chicago attor-
ney who so successfully defended
William Haywood, will probably be
the chief counsel for the defense, Mr..
Pettibone having expressed himself
in Darrow's favor. E. H. Richardson,
the Denver attorney. it is said, will
not appear in the case.
4 The attorneys for the state are now
busily engaged in preparing addition
al evidence in an effort to secure the
conviction of Pettibone. Unprecedented
citizens of Boise believe that the evi
dence against Pettibone is even weak
er than that produced against Hay
wood and that the Denver merchant
is sure of acquittal.
Senator Borah is quoted as saying

We also urge our brother ministers

commendation and Endorsement Of Hon.

The resolutions speak in no uncertain
sound and reflect the sentiments of the
great mass Of The colored voters OF this
