Mr.. Peterson in September, 1906. on

there was danger of additional vio-

WANT NO REPETITION.

In speaking of the disastrous times
Of 1893 the EIkhart Review says:
None but a blind editor would I'M
dertake to refute the truth of his
tory that it was the Democratic land
slide in 1892 and the prospect that
the Democratic congress would IN
dertake to displace the protective
principle and inaugurate the tariff
for-revenue-only plan of the Demo-
Gratis. which caused the panic of
1S93-96. Everyone knows that the
election of Mckinley in 1896. and the
prospects of the establishment of
the protective policy. launched this
country on an era OF prosperity that
has never been equalled-and still
continues. Thoughtful voters viii
hesitate long before casting a vote to
re-afirm the Democratic platform Of
1892. The Democratic party is this
year standing on a platform whose
tariff plank is practically identical to
that which wrought such disaster fol
lowing 1892"

THINK IT OVER.


There IS a thought in the follow
Ing statement sent out by the repub
lican national committee which
merits serious consideration on TIL
part Of every voter:
THE TITANIC WAS WRECKED
1t was the greatest ship ever
built by man. Experts said II

in it's stability and safety BUT
THE TITANIC SANK.
Men say that this great and
prosperous country cannot be
wrecked. That Is also what men
said in the days Of the Harrison
prosperity.
Yet in one brief year after
Cleveland was elected the nation
was plunged into the deepest woe.
Factories were closed. millions Of
men were idle. Railroads became
bankrupt and banks suspended
There were soup houses every
where to feed the hungry.
AND THIS WILL HAPPEN
AGAIN If the democratic party.
pledged to enact the legislation
which caused universal distress,
comes into power on election day.
THE only hope Of this nation for
continued prosperity lies in the
election Of the republican ticket
on Nov. 5th."

THE REASON WHY.

The Hearst newspapers are carry
ing editorials advising the pe-pull not
TO buy books OF book agents. Books
can be had twice as eheaply else
whore. and. anyhow, the fact that a
publisher sends a book agent TO YOU
is a sign that you haven't much
mentality, say the Hearst organs
We wondered at this sudden dis
play of teeth at the luckless book
agent Now we recall that Golfers
recently pronounce Mr.. Hearst
Standard Oil letter exposes as
forgeries. The Collier people do a
immense business selling books on
the instalment plan. Mr.. Collier and
Mr. Hearst are now on the outs
Therefore the pe-pull should beware
of book agents. In the meantime the
poor book agent win stand regarded
as a supicious character.

FLAMES LIQUOR LAW FoR II.

Mayor Fitzgerald feels very keen1y
the loss of the state Of Maine by the
Democrats, especially in view OF the
fact that he himself eampaigned
through the state in the closing days
in the interests of Governor Plaisted.
The mayors excuse for the over
throw Of democratic control IS:
The administration of the liquor
laws alone in the state of Maine was
enough to cause a political upheaval
The state of Maine at the present
time is such a disgrace to the Union

the total disregard in the leading
cities Of the liquor laws that the state
legislatures have placed upon the
statute books
II found on my recent trip to the
state that in Portland alone. one OF
the principal hotels maintains an
open bar, and that there are so open
places where liquor is sold to the
knowledge Of the state officials.
The officials. county and state
have been pocketing the money that
if the state were open to license

AN INVENTORS PARADISE.

1t is safe to say that Lake county
inventors are granted more patents
according to the population Of the
county than any other locality in the
state. We do not have the statistics
to support this belief and the opinion
is ventured only on a general knowl-
edge Of the facts. but It is a good
guess.
The reason is apparent. Most Of
The residents Of this locality are
either mechanics in the mills or are
familiar with mechanical construc-
ton. There is every facility for the
development Of new ideas. Draughts-
men are numerous and there are a
number Of shops where the first
models Of inventions can be built.
The human race is constantly try
ing to improve what it has. It is ever
looking upward to something better.

He got a patent on his light and
the invention, if it is properly pro
noted, IS likely to be worth lot Of
money. There are scores Of other
ideas being patented every year.

some are not But It shows that the

The people Of the country have been

EDITOR KoHLsAAT's TRIBUTE.

In proof of his declaration that for
half century the republican party
has been carrying the banner of true
progress, II. H. Kohlsaat briefly out
lined the history Of the party as fol-
lows At Gettysburg it stood with
Lincoln and battled for the union;
with Grant it stood for peace, the
healing of sectional wounds and the
resumption of specie payments; with
Hayes it paved the way for the adop-
ton OF the merit principle in the civil
service of the United States which
was enacted into law during the adj
ministration of President Arthur and
consecrated by the blood of the mar
tyred Garfield with the beloved Nc
Kinley it killed the heresy Of free
silver and the reputation OF our
debts and pledged the county to
maintain the gold standard. It has
been sponsor for every forward move
ment in legislation for the regulation
and protection Of American industries
and labor, for the conservation OF
our natural resources and for the
maintenance of the national army.
In the face Of such a record an at
tempt is being made to wreck the
party; an attempt which reports re-
ceived at republican headquarters
indicate is daily becoming less and
| less formidable
