1908 WILL BE GREAT
YEAR FOR SPELLBINDERS

The Republican congressional
campaign book will be out unusu-
ally early this year, probably six
week sooner than it was issued
four years ago. The proofs are
practically corrected up to date on
such matter as can be handled
before the Democratic convention
meets. 1t is always customary
to reserve part of the book for
comment on the action of the
Democratic convention and to in
clude the Democratic platform for
the information of campaign
speakers. The book will follow
closely the lines of the last cam
paign book, except that some
new issues will be introduced and
others that have ceased to be of
interest will be dropped out.
Considerable space will be de-
voted to the question of injunc-
tons.
There will be biographical
sketches of the various cani-
didates AMI the work of the Re-
publican congress will be given
very fully, particularly OF the last
three sessions.
AT the latest the book will be
issued August /. This will give
campaign speakers an opportun-
ity to be prepared for an early
opening of their work werever
that is desired. The committee
is planning its work with the
idea that this year more than
ever before the compaign will be
waged by means of literary pro-
auctions through the press and
by pamphlets and speeches and
by the active work of speIlbind-
ers. For that reason the early
issuance of the campaign book
has been regarded as especially
desirable.

Miss Tarbelrs Attack on Man.

Miss Ida Tarbell, historian OF
the Standard Oil Company, and
biographer of John d. Rockefel-
Ter, is in Chicago, presumably to
see President nominated by
convention of men; but though
she has come all the way from
New York for this, Ida is "agin"
men. She says SO herself. On
Sunday she was speaker at
meeting of the Woman's Trade
Union League and said, in the
course OF her remarks: Il have
never been in a trade, but | have
toiled for more years than /
would like to tell And I've had
to fight our common eDemy--man.
This is not at all nice of Ida,
and is something of a surprise,
too. 1t is the general belief that
she has succeeded fairly we'll in
her chosen profession and that
man, as exemplihed by maya
zine editors with whom she has
chiefly had to deal, has been more
than glad to treat her kindly. She
can not possibly wish the impress
sion to go out that she has had to
lombard unwilling editors with a
metaphorical club before they
would consider her wares, yet
what else can be inferred from her
remark? Nor can she desire it to
be understood that her writings
were finally accepted because of
the club rather than upon their
merits nor yet, cn the other hand
that the enemy relented because
she is woman, and gave her a
hearing for that reason only.
Ida ought to have more pride
than this-pride for herself and
pride in her calling. Also, with
her years of experience, she ought
better to understand man, as man,
to say nothing OF man as editor.
She ought TO know that he is not
an enemy to that large division
of womankind which has its liv-
ing to earn. No doubt he is often
condescending in his manner and
gives the impression of speaking
from consciously superior
height, but this attitude is not as
sumed exclusively toward the
woman who works; not by any
means. 1t is one of his inherent
pecularities one Of his weaknesses
it may be; all women encounter
it. and. if they are wise, adapt
themselves to it. Some even pro-
fess to like Indianapolis Star.

MANY VIOLATED
POSTAL LAWS
Michigan City People Fined for
Writing in Packages.

Inspector Wall was in Michi,
gan City Saturday working on
cases of postal law violations
that had recently been reported
to the department. He found
three OF our cases where pack
ages marled as second and third
class matter had contained writ
ing, which is in strict violation
of the postal regulations, and in
each case a fine of $40 was inn
posed. The names of the guilty
parties were not made public. All
parcels containing writing
should be mailed as hrst-class
matter or the writing eliminated.
AS violations of this rule are
quite frequent other arrests are
likely to be made.

INFIRM OF STATE
ON THE INCREASE
STATISTICS SHOW THE
GROWTH IN POPULA-
TON OF IND. CHAR
TABLE INSTITU-
TIONS-10,593
INMATES

A slight increse in the popula-
ton of the state charitable and
correctional institutions is shown
by the bulletin of the board of
state charities for the fiscal quar-
ter ending March 81. The total
population on October 1, 1907, the
beginning OF the present fiscal
year, was 1888. OF these 6,3S7
were males and 1915 were fe-
males. The number enrolled
March 81, 1908, at the end of the
first quarter of the present fiscal
year was 1857. This number
included 6,579 males and 1888 fe-
males. The number of inmates
received during the six months
was 1895 and the number dis
charged was 1921. The daily
average number of inmates for
the six months was 9,996.29.
Ordinary expenses for the six
months were 1897, 313.4O or $97.77
per capinta. The expenditures for
salaries and wages were $344,-
107.4l, subsistence, 1865, 1O2.22;
clothing, $47,092.61; office, do
nestle and outdoor expense,
1868, 963.30, and ordinary repair,
SOL ,047.S6. In addition to these
there were new building expenses
and expenses of permanent i'm
provements, making a grand total
OF expenses of 81, 321, 3SS.35.
The receipts and earnings of
the institutions for the six months
were $l10,302.91, leaving the net
total expense at $1,211 ,O85.44.
A comparative statement shows
that the population of the insane
hospitals is larger than at the end
OF any corresponding six months
since 1901. Comparison is not
made farther back than 1904. The
crowded condition of the insane
hospitals has claimed the atten-
ton of the state authorities. The
completion Of the new Southeast,
ern hospital for the insane will
not give any more relief than is
needed. it is said. The popula-
ton OF the Soldiers Home at LAT
ayette also has reached a high
point No perceptible increase
is noticed in the population of
the correctional institutions This
quarters bulletin contains a re-
port OF the proceedings of the six
teenth state conference of char
tiles and correction held at Evans
vile in October.

address at Vienna eon the subject

Brazil Orders Ships; Japan May
Get Them.

1t is stated on reliable author
ity that Brazil has placed orders
with British shipyards for TWEEN
ty-seven warships including three
bastleships of the Dreadnought
type, with the stipulation that all
the vessels must be delivered in
September, 1909. Brazil has also
bought from the Krupp foundry
in Germany 125 batteries of
G ms, twenty-five of which have
already been delivered.
Confidential reports have been
received at the Navy Depart
ment at Washington warning
the United States government
that Brazil is secretly to build
several battle ships for Japan.
Commander w. Sims, who
was United States naval attache
at Paris, was told unofficially to
keep close watch on the plans of
the Brazilian navy. A cable dis
patch from Berlin that thirty
ships were to be laid down in
England for Brazil has given
rise to several alarmist reports,
despite the fact thaa the number
indicates exaggeration.
The report from Berlin, as far
as inside information seems to
indicate, is based on confidential
plans for the British shipbuild-
ers. They aver that they have
received orders to begin an ex-
tensive addition to the Brazilian
navy. Why the Brazilian navy
should be anxious to increase its
strength is little understood in
diplomatic circles, and for this
reason a general investigation Of
the order for bat e ships, cruis-
ers and other war craft was be-
gun.
The first reply to these in
quiries was from secret agents in
London who wired: Brazilian
war ship orders are to be paid
for from Toxic. Looks as if the
ships would ultimately be deliv-
cred to Japan"
Commander Sims admitted
that Japan was supposed to be at
the bottom of the order for new
Brazilian war ships.
yves investigated the matter,
however, and were unable to as
certain whether Japanese funds
were to pay for the ships he
said.

INDIANA DOC
TORS MEET
HOLD SESSION AT FRENCH
LICK HOTEL HEALTH
RESORT-BATTLE ON
TUBERCULOSIS
DEFENDS ON
MONEY.

Ut. george II. hdlllO, lllSui|ai
director of the French Lick
Springs Hotel, and formerly pres
ident of the Central College OF
Physicians and Surgeons at Indi-
annapolis, was elected president OF
the Indiana Medical association
Friday. DR.. Kahlo was formerly
dean Of the medical school of Pur-
due university.
A number of important subjects
were discussed, among them be-
ing Nervous and Mental Dis
cases led by Charles S. Neu, of
Indianapolis; B. w. McCaskey, OF
Fort Wayne, and E. c. Reyer, OF
Indianapolis. A symposium on the
heart was given by II. H. Ritter
and DR.. Kimberlin, OF lndianap-
oils.
The indianapolis physicians
were prominent in leading the dis
cussions and reading papers on
surgery. DR.. Barnhill read an in
teresting paper on Treatment OF
Sinusthronbosis," and a sympos-
ium on intestinal Instructions was
given by T. b. Clark and ]. II.
Ford and w. n. Sharp. all of Indi
annapolis, and H. G. Newman, OF
Fort Wayne.
The report on the committee on
state medicine and hygiene was
read by Dr. ]. n. Hurry, secretary
of the state board of health.
The report spoke in con-
gratulatory way OF the steriliza-
zion law and the marriage law
passed by the Indiana legislature
Of 1905. 1T is indeed true" said
he, that these laws are faulty and
wholly inadequate to remove the
evils at which they are aimed,
out they constitute good begin
ding nevertheless, and Indiana
has the credit of first taking up
this important work"
A remarkable movement, it
said, was the organization OF the
committee of one hundred on ma
.loDaishealth' started in the Ma
tional Association for the Adj
vancement of Science, April Is,
1907, and Endorsed by Roosevelt,
Grover Cleveland and many other
men of note. The American
Health League, with over 5000
members. supplements and sup
ports this committee. The report
suggested that the Indiana State
Medical association indorse those
public movements.
Discussing the plan to combat
tuberculosis the report refers to
the site bought by the state near
Rockville, and says:
IL now remains, to construct
the buildings and to provide for
the support OF the institution. For
this a proper appropriation must
be made by the general assembly
OF 1909, and Judging by the ex-
perience in securing the first step,
the medical profession has still
more work to do. And, of course,
it is expected that the coming
Legislature must be educated and
led in this important matter, con-
corning which the majority of its
members in the beginning can
have little information"
Continued activity on the part
of the association is urged and the
report recommends that COM
mittee be appointed to represent
the association before the general
assembly to make plea for lib
eral appropriation.

1t is a favorite saying OF many
commentators upon American life
that when the occasion arises or
the need or the crisis the man
will always appear. Perhaps there
was no oratory of the hrst-class
because there was no battle. But
it was noticeable that when Wis
consin came with her almost i'm
pudent note of defiance and pro-
test, her Justification and warn
ing, two young men till now un-
heard of in the field of national
politics, jumped to the front and
made the best speeches of the
convention. They had something
to say and said it effectively be-
cause they felt it, and felt it deep
ly. They said things rather disa-
greeable. They talked out in
meeting. They called a spade a
spade. They spoke openly OF mat
tiers which discretion would have
left unmentioned. But because
they were magnifcently in earn
est the delegates listened TO them
and encouraged them. And the
great body of delegates made no
more hearty demonstration
throughout the entire convention
than in approval of Chairman
Lodges threat-which, of course
he did not mean-to clear the gal
leries if the cat-calls and boos and
insults were repeated. Crude and
unfinished as we're these adj
dresses OF Coohens and MCGEE
from the Badger State, they
showed the stuff of which great
Americans are made, they breath
ed the spirit of the crusader, they
gave promise that more Roose-
velts and organs and men OF the
finest type still remain somewhere
in the backwoods to consecrate
their splendid talents to the pub
lie service. But what pity these
men who aspire to deliver mes
sages to multitudes like that oil

speak merely in epigrams, in terst
hot phrases, and to learn when to
