From the Union Trust and Saw

mory was transferred a few months
ago, when Company II decided to
surrender its interests with the ex-
pectation that a new and modern
armory would soon be built in the
city Iby the state, Colfax Lodge of
Odd Fellows has purchased the ar
mory at a cost of $4,000. subject to
the lease of Company II which runs
until next October. This is decid-
eddy good thing for the appearance
of the city as the lodge will put the
building in first class shape as soon
as possible, thus making the build
ing credit instead of an eye-sore
to the city 1t will also give Colfax
Lodge splendid home. the third
floor being used for lodge purposes
and the other floors reserved foi
rental for public occasions. The of
ficers and committee in charge Of
the purchase realize that a large
sum will necessarily have to be eX-
pended to make the building what is
desired but believe that in the end
the results will justify the purchase
and the expenditure.

Is Beveridge a Republican ?

be able to twist out of the construc-
tion of the republican platform in point
of view of its actual phraseology, it is
none the less true that it is the idea
which was given to the people of the
stand Of the republican party as a
whole that the revision of the tariff
would be downward
That is what the people of Indiana
understood and that is what they want
That was the way that the platform
of the republican party was explained
to the people in Indiana in the last
campaign and the congressman from
this district, declared for the revision
of the tarif downward, as did Senator
Beveridge himself.
Thus it is that all intents and pur-
poses. no matter what the actual word
ing itself, the platform means to the
people of Indiana tariff revision down
ward.
And that this was the understanding
all over the middle west is clear enough
from the fact that Taft himself seems
to have understood it and told the peo-
pie so. At Cincinnati in his peeach Of
acceptance; at Milwaukee; at New
York and in his inaugural address he
made his position clear to the Ameri-
can people
To all intents and purposes then.
the people of Indiana have but one
thing to expect from Senator Bever-
idge no matter what they may believe
on the tariff. That is that he will use
every endeavor to secure a revision Of
the tariff downward
The duty of Senator Beveridge before
anything else is to abide by the prom
ises of the last campaign, particularly
when he himself has made three
promises. 1t is his duty TO represent
the wishes of his constituents And
the people of Indiana want a revision
Of the tariff along protectives lines
but downward.
Thus it is that Beveridge is a repub-
lican.
He is not trying to form new par
ty. but to hold to the platform of the
party as he and the president Of these
United States saw fit to explain It to
the people.
He is doing the best thing possible
for the future success of the repub-
lican party in this state in keeping his
promises. He has the authority to op-
pose Senator Aldrichs views on the
tariff from the fact that the presiden-
tial candidate last fall promised these
same things on behalf of his party 10
secure his election-he has the ag-
thority from the people of Indana.
The voice of the people was expressed
accurately and truly in the indorse-
ment Of the executive committee of the
Republican Editorial association.
Beveridge is a republican and the
people of Indiana desire tariff revision.
If he will keep his present attitude he
should have nothing to fear from his

HANDICAPPED By MILLJONS.


If the little lad at your knee should
inherit 100000 in money, would you
be glad or sorry?
Think the proposition over carefully
before you answer.
That large sum has been left by
his great-uncle to Hunt T. Dickenson
Of Augusta, Ga.
And young Dickinson is but nine
years old.
Judged by what he says, the father
OF this boy is really sorry his son
should have inherited 100000. He
fears the effect of it on the boys fu-
ture
Mr.. Dickinson says he will keep the
news Of his Inheritance from Hunt as
long as possible.
Says this anxious father:
THAT is enough money to ruin any
boy. do not want my boy to grow
up feeling that he need never work-a
false idea I want him to be a plain,
honest man. l want him to do some
of the worlds work and learn that the
greatest comfort in life is to know
that one has done something to make
the world better"
Wise Mr.. Dickenson!
He knows that much money is more
apt to be curse than a blessing.
If Hunt Dickinson grows up to feel
that whatever happens to other peo-
pie he is sure OF plenty without eff
fort, he may put himself up on a
pedestal and come to feel that he is
different from those that toll.
Even should he resist the temptation
TO sQuander his money in riotous liv-
ing he may come to think that he is
nodded of different putty from the or
binary men,
And that would make him cold and
hard and selfish
He would come to believe that he is
in the world to be ministered to rather
than to minister that he is here to get
what he thinks is coming to him rath-
er than to give the world what is com
ing to it,
He would lose all touch with his
fellows.
Is there any wonder why Mr. Dick
enson should dread the influence of
those millions on his sons career?
A boy thus handicapped has no fair
chance with the poor boy who must
fight his way up to success, keeping
elbow touch with the world, making
himself strong by earning what he
gets, developing his character and
making himself useful citizen.
Mr.. Dickinson may well fear the in
cubus Of 100000 on the shoulders
of his son.
