"Drys" Win in Indiana.


The final vote on the county local
option bill in the Indiana legislature
was had last Saturday and passed by
55 to as. The result was a surprise to
both Republicans and Democrats, par
ticularly to the posing managers Of
those parties, as six Democrats voted
for it and four Republicans against it,
The scenes attending the taking of
the vote were intensely dramatic. Fully
five hundred temperance workers were
massed in the hall Of representatives,
and every vote from an unexpected
source was received with loud cheering.
One member who had been counted
on as against the bill, cried like child
as he sank back into his daughters
arms after voting for the bill. He said
he was committing political suicide,
and knew it, but pressure had been so
strong from every side that he had
finally decided to yield and take the
consequences.

DR. ARTHUR EASTWOOD, of the Brit
ish royal commission on tuberculosis,
was recent visitor to the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture and Experiment
Station. DR. Eastwood is a delegate
from England to the international Tu-
berculosis Congress, which is convened
at Washington, d. c., and visited Wis
consin for the purpose of studying the
results of work on bovine tuberculosis.
He expressed much qualification at the
progress made, and gave the Wisconsin
Investigators credit for accomplishing
much valuable work rather than simply
outlining plans as has been the case in
many other places. He was very hope
full for the future regarding work com
batting tuberculosis, and was confident
that the present congress will greatly
aid in reaching the desired end.

The Difference.

Chicago Record Herald.
Senator Foraker has been the violent
opponent of the progressive policies
with which Judge Taft is so conspicu-
ously and SO honorably identified.
He not only set himself against those
policies, but deliberately calculated on
his opposition TO force Judge Taft to a
compromise in Ohio. His friends APP
preaching Taft put the case in effect
this way: "You are striving for the
highest prize within the gift of the
American people, and Foraker's assist
ance is necessary 10 secure for you the
solid backing of your own state, which
you must have if you would go before
the national convention without a seri-
Gus handicap.
We know that few men would have
resisted such temptation but Taft re-
jected the compromise. Therefore
Foraker fought him bitterly at the pri-
maries. He was hostile both to the
candidate and his principles and the
harmony plan of which so much was
said involved no concessions on Taft's
part. At most it merely permitted
Foraker to align himself with the new
Republicanism if he so disposed, and,
Of course, at that time, nothing had
been heard of the Standard Oil scandal.
After the scandal Foraker was shelved.
Governor Haskell was chairman of
the resolutions committee at the Dem
ocratic national convention, was made
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee and was the choice Of Mr..
Bryan for both positions. Such serious
consideration as he has received from
the country at large has been due to
his close association with Mr. Bryan.
He has been tolerated by Bryan since
the Standard Oil scandal and several
other scandals have raised stencil
about him
The sins of Foraker can only empha-
size the virtues of Taft.
The sins of Haskell must become the
sins of Bryan unless there is a radical
change in the situation.
Something, to be sure, has been said
about proof, but Haskell has disproved
nothing, The more he talks and the
more he is studied the worse he appears.
lie is a skeleton in the open, and if
Mr.. Bryan and his other associates are
wise they will repudiate him and leave
him to rattle around by himself.
The difference between Taft-Foraker
and Bryan-FIaskell as it is now would
spell ruin for the Democratic organi-
zation.

Dear Sir:--Our local agent in your
city has sent us clipping from yes
terday's paper, relative to local op-
ton petitions which are being circu-
lated for Wards 2, 8, 4 and s. 1t is
stated in this article that one of the
reasons FOR the circulation of these
petitions is the alleged threat of the
Wei1hard Estate people that they
would see TO it that Wards E and 7
tEow dryJ would go wet in due time,
or words TO that effect
We would like to ask you where
you receied the information on which
this assertion is based, as we are very
much interested to know who would
tell such willul falsehood about a
hrm viii. h has at all times shown
mo- only its willingness to obey the
laws. rules, end regulations governing
the city Of Astoria, whether local or
state, but has also maintained and
proven its friendship for ybur city at
all times. Ii is hardly worth while
% emphasize the fact that at no time
have ths Weinhard Estate people
mixed up with your local politics, and
we will say once and for all that
neither Mr. Paul Wessinger, who
visits Astoria only once in great
while, nor Mr.. Buttner, who visits
your city regularly in the interests of
the firm, have ever presumed or
thought of presuming to dictate the
opening up Of any ward in the city of
Astoria that its citizens want dry.
These are the only two gentlemen
who could with authority speak on
the subject, and if anyone else has
assumed to speak for them, it has
been without their knowledge or con-
sent, and under no circumstances
could anyone else have done or said
anything in this matter as voicing
the sentiments of the Henry Vein
hard Estate
"In conclusion, we will say, that we
very much resent any statements made
by irresponsible or malicious parties,
who evidently seek TO influence inno-
cent and uninformed citizens against
a firm, which has always been sin
cerely concerned in the welfare of
Astoria. Very truly yours,
Estate of H. Weinhard, Decd,
