DEMOCRAT ON TAFT.
This Editor Stands at the Head
of the Column for Sincerity.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel, the
Democratic organ in Allen coun-
ty, and one of the oldest papers
in Indiana, adds its testimony
thus:
"The Republican national con-
vention chose the best of candi-
dates presented to it for the Pres
idential nomination. Doubtless
he also is the strongest OF them.
If he is in some respects weak
politically, he quite makes up for
it in the strength of personal
character. William II. Taft is
the kind OF man who makes a
strong appeal to the country.
Big, hearty, jovial and sympa-
thetic, his personality is extreme
ly captivating. But Taft is so
much more than big good fell
low that his qualities OF anna
bility are decidedly apt to be lost
sight of in part, in contemplation
of another kind of bigness and
goodness. Taft is big in his
craftsmanship and big in his true
patriotic character. He has done
a great many big things and has
always done them well"

Guinness Case a Gold Mine.

While Harry B. Darling was
here week or SO ago he told
something of what the Guinness
case did for LaPorte. He repre-
sented the United Press Associa-
ton there, furnishing most of the
news for that news organization.
and he sent matter from LaPorte
concerning the Guinness case
that called for more than twelve
thousand dollare in telegraph
tolls, while for himself he said
that he netted more. than 800
from the case for the news work
he did. Liverymen, hotel keep
ers and everybody who could
profit out of crowd in town
were happy during the few
weeks the excitement was ut its
height-North Manchester Jour-

GAS TO PROPEL WARSHIPS
Lewis Nixon Says it Will be the
Motive Power of the Future.

''Battleships OF the future will
use gas as motive power" said
Lewis Nixon, of New York, the
shipbuilder and naval expert. Mr.
Nixon. who recently returned
from England, was commenting
on a report from LONDON that the
Admiralty had given orders that
"a 19,500-ton battleship, the St
Vincent, should be so equipped
as to make it dependent wholly
on gas for motor power.
England is ahead OF the
world in this matter" said Mr.
Nixor "T'he gas-motivized bat
tleship will be much more eco
nomical and efficient than the
steam battleship. The lighter
more compact machinery will
save both space and weight. A
smaller and inferior quality Of
coal can also be used. The big
battleships will carry coal gas
producers and generate the gas
from the coal.
Mr.. Nixon recently prepared q
design for a gas-motivized battle
ship of 10000 horsepower. Il
had triple screws, with twelve
cylinders, thirty by thirty inches
on each shaft.

CLEVELAND OBSEQUIES
Ceremony Simple But None the
Less Impressive.

song the body of former Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland was buried
at Princeton, late Friday after

service was read at the grave in
Princeton cemetery. where THE

Mrs. Roosevelt, with Secretary
Loeb, arrived late Friday after
noon to attend the funeral. The

Brazilian minister and the New
York Sons of St. Patrick. There
were probably fifty carriages in
the procession. Along the line of
march crowds gathered to wit
ness the cortege.
All stock exchanges in the
country, excepting the New
York cotton exchange, closed
Friday afternoon out of respect
for the late President Cleveland.

DECLARED ILLEGAL.
Indianapolis Judge Rules Against
Billiard and Pool Tables in
Saloons.

Billiard or pool tables in a Ii
censed barroom were declared IL
legal by a decision of Judge
Pritcllard of the Criminal Court
in indianapolis Monday. The de-
cision came on test case. Some
months ago a saloon keeper was
arrested for operating an amuse-
ment device in a licensed bar
room. The case was tried in Po-
lice Court and the man was found
guilty. His attorney appealed
the case to the Criminal Court.
1t is now understood he will carry
the case higher.
The statute says that there
shall be no amusement devices in
the same room with the licensed
bar. Judge Pritchard said he did
not see how a pool or billiard
table could be called anything
but an amusement device.
A majority OF the smalle: sa-
looms all over the state are guilty
of violation of the law under this
ruling. If the case is sustained
in the higher courts there will
be hundreds of saloons in the
state affected.

Zimmerman is Freed From
Charge of Murder.

On motion of Prosecutor Tai
bot, George Zimmerman, charg-
ed with the murder OF his wife,
Julia Zimmerman, was discharged
Saturday in the police court at
South Bend, the evidence accord
ing to the inquest showing that
the shooting of the woman was
accidental.
All the evidence tended to
show that the man did not know
the gun would explode when he
was trying to extract cartridge.
The only evidence against Zim-
norman was the dying statement
of his wife that the shooting was
deliberate. This was greatly out
weighed by the evidence that
showed it was wholly an acct
dent.
Bosh Zimmerman and his
friends are wrought up at the al
legged unjust stories printed in
other papers about him and his
family and which have been at
tributed to him as far as they re-
fer to his wife and children. Zim-
norman denies having made any
OF these statements and cannot
trace them to their source. He
cbaracterizes them as malicious
falsehoods.

DR.. Thomas ]. Riley, professor
of sociology in the University of
Missouri, has been at the State
House at Indianapolis for several
days studying the methods of

of the system and later will call
several assistants to his aid when
he makes a study OF the records
which have been kept by the In

Mr.. Riley's work in the study
OF philanthropic methods is the
result OF a grant for research pur-
poses by the Russell Sage four
dation to the St. Louis School of
Philanthropy, OF which DIR. Riley
is the director. Up to this time
the work has been carried on in
Missouri. The reputation of In

IS $144, 100000

The Forthcoming statement OF
treasury receipts and expenditI
ures for the fiscal year ending
June 80 will show marked fall
ing off in receipts as compared
with 1907, and large increase in
expenditures. The excess of ex-
penditures over receipts for the

only twice since the Civil war. In
1894 there was deficit OF $685.

another of little more than $685.

fell considerably below the dis
bursements. Again in 1904 and
1905 there were shortages OF 81,

The total receipts this year
will be shown to have been about
1888, 100000 or $64,000,000 less
than for 1907. Custom receipts
will be shown to have fallen off
about SIG, 100000 from those OF
1907, while the receipts from in
ternal revenue sources will be
short nearly $19,000,000. Mis-
cellaneous receipts will show a
slight gain.
The disbursements will be
shown to have aggregated about
1868, 100000, or SS0,O00.000
more than for 1907, and $4,000
600 more than for any other year
since 1865, not excepting the
Spanish war period. Although
these increased disbursements
are very general and are shown
in nearly every account except
that OF interest on the public debt
some of the heaviest OF them
were for important permanent
improvements.

CONSTITUTIONALITY OF
ELECTION LAW RAISED
Point at Issue in An Important
Case-Relates to Office
Holding.

The constitutionahty OF the
last election law, as it affects the
time OF taking possession OF
county offices, is being question:
ed in the Circuit Court at Sulli-
van, Ind. Theodore E. Slinkard,
OF Bloomfield, is sitting as spec
ial Judge at the hearing, which is
in the case of the State ex rel.
Ben c. Crowder against Elijah
Russell.
Mr.. Russell is auditor OF Sui
Ivan county. He was elected IN
the fall of 1902, to serve a four
year term. He took office on
March 20, and should ha--~
given pos . Mr.. Crowder,
his dep successor, on
March 2. year. Mr.. Rus
sell, how VS. the last cleo
tion lave him to hold over
until Jan 1, 1909, at which
time he j ling to give up his
office.
Attorneys for Mr.. ,Crowder
contended, il court, that the law
is unconstitutional because, if
Mr.. Russells contention is cor
rect, he will hold over another
general election to be held in No
vember. In that case, attorneys
for Crowder say, the Legislature
could just as easily pass a law
that would enable an officeholder
to serve over two, or three, or
any number OF general elections.
In other words, they contend
that the Legislature can, if the
present law is constitutional, pass
a law that would practically put
county officers in Office for lie.
Argument on the case will not
be finished until the first OF the
