An enterprising builder was one day
In conversation with several friends.
when he was accused of using inferior
materials in the construction of
houses which he had recently built.
A hot argument ensued, in the

who lived in one of the jerry-built
cottages, and the matter was referred
10 him.
"Weel, sirs," said he, Il can assure

Suddenly the telephone bell rang.
Are you Miss Blank, and have you
lost anything?" inquired the person at
the other end.
Yes; have just discovered the

What was In it?" said the voice.
My cards, some money, certified

THOMAS RILEY MARSHALL

Thomas Riley Marshall, chosen
to be Wilson's running mate on
the democratic presidential ticket,
is progressive who does not take
a pessimistic view OF things
political or otherwise. He has been
Indiana's governor since 1908.
receiving a majority of Is. 900 at
the same time that the Hoosier
State went for Taft by 100000.
His election was all the more note
worthy inssmuch as in 1904
Indiana had gone Republican by
more than $4,000
Marshall is a snort, slender,
wiry man of fifty-eight. with keen
eye and lively interest in publ C
affairs. There is little of tho
politician about him. In fact from
the moment that he became the
nominee for governor he was the
despair of the party leaders
throughout the s ate. He did his
campaining in his own way,
journeying from town to town
with Mrs. Marshall - she went to
every meeting at which he spoke
and calmly telling the voters what
they might expect if they elected
him. He did not 60 in for heart
to heart conferences with the
leader Of every town, nor did he
resort to the business of general
handwriting, cigar giving and
such like conventional forms of
winning the hearts of voters.
When he had finished touring the
state he and Mrs. Marshall went
back home to Columbia City and
waited. Election day came, and
Little Tom" Marshall became
governor.
In his first term Of office Mar.
shall was handicapped ny the fact
that the upper house in Indiana
WAS republican. Nevertheless he
made himself so popular with the
people of The state that they gave
him in 1910 solid democratic
legislature. 1t was then that he
look q stand against Tom Taggart,
democratic boss Of the state on the
question of choosing United
States senator, and Marshall won
out, his candidate, John w. Kern,
was Endorsed by the democratic
state convention and later elected
senator from Indiana.
Some of the more important
pieces Of legislation enacted during
his second term we're:
Ratification Of the income tax
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton, res luton for the popular
election Of United States senator's,

OIL DISSOLUTION

UNITED STATES IS WATCHING CLOSELY THE PROCEDURE OF

Washington, Sept 20.--The depart ment of justice Is closely watching the workings and methods of the disinte- grated parts of the Standard Oil com pany and rigidly investigating all re- ports that the decree of dissolution entered under the mandate of the su- preme court of the Unitd States is being violated
 While no general attack on the Standard and it's former subsidiaries is contemplated now, the government has received specific complaints re- latlng to conditions in certain com munities.
 The investigation of these allega- tions is necessarily locaized. The result of one of these inquiries, for instance, was the indictment of John D. Archbold and other Standard Oii magnates at Dallas. Tex, on August 20 In that case the charge was that the Standard Oil was endeavoring to control the oil business in Texas. Since then. another inquiry has been
 started in different part of the coun- try, but still of a similar local char | acter

 touch with all developments in tho pending Standard Oil-Waters Pierc, litigation. While the federal govern ment is not q party to the suit, { copy of al the testihlons is received by the department of justice for care

RAISE PERSONAL
 ASSESSMENTS
EQUALIZATION RoAD PASSES ON PROPERTY OF BPS CITIZENS
 OF COUNTY.
All of Them Raised from $20 tc Much Larger Sums on Personal
 Property.

Personal assessments have been raised by the board of Equalization of the county on BPS citizens. On file with the cou.y clerk is roster of those whose assessments have been raised, and while the raises are not extensive in their individual nature, yet they make neat sum of total in the increase of the personal wealth of the county.
 Most of the increase in assessments is from a great big double '00' to S20 and $50 and $70. It has been the habit of great number of citizens to put their personal property in at noth- ing, and therefore escape with the poll tax of one dollar.
 If any single poll taxes appear this time, it is probably because they were overlooked.
 Particularly Is there an increase in the assessments of a number of color ed people, who had been accustomed to listing themselves only on poll tax. which gives the right to vote, but have not paid on dollars worth of other taxes.
 However, not alone these, but some other well known men in the coun.y will find that instead of their personal wealth being listed as nil, they are in possession of property in the value of anywhere from $20 to $200
 The largest particular raise in per sonal is that of R. H. Anderson. who had listed at $700 and who the board raised to $2,200. None were listed be- low $20, and most of those raised were put from the "00' sign up to $50.

the leaders of either of the other par ties, because they mean so to regulate competition and free the conditions of
 business in this country as to substi-
 tute the efficient for the merely pow
 erful. It is futile to stand for the
 causes of our present wrongs and
 weakly propose to control and moder-
 ate the results, and yet that is all
 that our opponents suggest.
 They even propose to remedy the
 results by the very means by which
 they are produced, namely the part
 nership of the government in the
 management of big business. l, for
 my part, can never bring myself to ac-
 cept the proposal that the government
 by regulation shall act through the
 trusts for the people. The contact
 between the government and the 2eo- pie in such a case is too remote and
 indirect. This is no way in which to
 restore the confidence of the people.
 It is only way in which to provide
 the people with new guardians, guard
 ians interested above all things in
 making 2 profit out of their guardian
 ship, political profit be 1t observed,
 as well as an economic profit. l
 wonder what the regulation is to ac- compIish for the working men through
 the instrumentality of those who have been their most successful opponents. For, after all, the attitude of gey- ernment towards labor lies at the heart of almost everything that con cerns Us as nation. A nation may be said to consist of those who do it's daily labor, and America has always boasted that she was the home of free labor, that all were welcome to come | to her shores and partake of her un. bounded opportunities. Shall we sub. stitute for this dream and ambition of ours a regime under which great reg ulated, monopolies shall be forever l the chief patrons of labor? Shall we not, on the contrary, assist to set our | laboring men free by placing them in a field of varied enterprise, acontrolled by no man, by no set of men, by nc government, where they can look about for opportunity and find It 1 where they can act as they please within the limits of right and justice, | in their own interest, where an eco homie democracy will make them feel that they have vital part in every thing that affects the enterprise and 1 the hope of the success of the na 1 ton?
 T, for one, shall not abandon this hope. I, for one. am confident that , prosperity does not depend upon mon opoly. I, for one. believe that with l just a little intelligence, just a little courage, just enough indifference to special interests, just little inspira' | tion of hope, we can restore Amer | ican life to the conditions of which we were once so proud and optain for
 ourselves again a government which l can serve us all without fear or ia vor, and make itself an instrument by which our life as nation may De | eased and ennObled."

 in their very nature monopolistic. We accepted that fact when we be- gan to regulate them Every econo- ! mist knows the familiar proof that competition is not often feasible and 1 is some times financially wasteful In the field of transportation, when rail ways have been developed along the shortest and most seryiceable lines; but they also know that this class of natural monopolies' is comparative lss small, and that there Is no anal. ogy between the regulation of rail- ways and the regulation of artificial monopoly created by deliberate com bination and agreement, based not
 upon efficiency but upon control of q particular product and particular markets.
 Prices have risen all over the world, but much faster and very much higher in high tariff countries, where monopoly was protected, than in low tariff countries, where compc- tition excluded monopoly. And the chief cause of high prices in America is that the markets are controlled. They can be controlled because the tariff screens them from the economic
 forces which establish prices in the
 markets of the world at large. No wonder, therefore, that the | leaders of the republican and pro gressive parties are saying less about high prices. They dare not, or will not go straight at the cause of high prices in this country in the remedies
 which they propose. Government reg ulation will shield monopoly as we'll
 as guide it, and regulation is not | freedom.
 "The net result is that both these parties have to all intents and pur- poses abandoned the central issues , of the campaign. The democrats alone
 are bold enough and farsighted enough
 to see that they must tackle frankly
