Certain It Is fhat tbe Journal be
lieves in blowing his own horn. They
probably are firm believers in the ad
age "Verily Lest Te blow your own
horn, your horn will not be blowed."
With the rottenness in the election
of a United States senator from Illin
ois, the scandals in the general as
sembly in New York and the debauch
ery that characterized the closing
days of the legislature in New Jersey
it would seem that the muckraker has
been vindicated.
William R. Herst began a libel suit
against the New York Times because
that newspaper reported the speech
of Mayor Gaynor at the Associated
Press dinner on Thursday night, in
which the mayor declared that "two
state prison felonies—namely, forgery
and falsifications of a public docu
ment—were, committed in the eager
ness of this publisher and editor
(Hearst) to wrong the mayor of the
city of New York." Mr. Hearst alleges
that by reason of the publication of
the speech he has suffered to the ex
tent of $100,000 and he asks to be
awarded that sum in damages.
Some months ago President Taft was
made an honorary member of the
steam shoveler's union. This was In
recognition of his visit to the Panama
canal and his interest in the work of
the men digging the big ditch. So far,
so good. But now comes trouble.
Taft is to be the guest of St. Louis
within a few days and one of the at
tarctions will be a ball game between
the St. Louis and Cleveland teams. In
some way the Cleveland team has of
fended the labor unions and in view
of this fact the order of the steam
shovelers has warned Taft not to at
tend the ball game under penalty oT
being fined as per the rules of the
union to which he belongs. Taft cer
tainly has a h^rd time of it He could
use that new word with much force
because he Is evidently coming up
against a lot of damphools.
Ouly two and one-half per cent of
all tuberculosis in New York City
comes from infected milk, butter or
meat from bovine sources, according

K-
ELY. BRENNAN
sssbss
to the statement made by Dr. William
H. Parks of that city before the path
ological section of the National Asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis. Moreover, said: Dr
Park, this small percentage Is found
mainly in children. In other words
pulmonary tuberculosis among adults
is contracted solely from human be
ings, and is hot the result of impure
milk or foods. Dr. Park supported
throughout this paper the contention
advocated by Dr. Robert Koch of Ber
lin, the discoverer of the tuberculosis
germ, when he stood practically alone
in declaring that cattle did not trans
mit pulmonary tuberculosis' to human
beings. The significance of these con
clusions, it was pointed out, will be to
direct all the enfergy of the campfdgn
against tuberculosis to combatting the
spread of the disease among human
beings, by preventing spitting, bad
housing, overwork and other condi
tions bad for the health.
should be on the same day that the
Inter-Ocean is published. Were Uiey
not so far above such things as. tak
ing news from other papers one
might be brought to believe that the
Inter-Ocean helped them in filling that
evening's edition.
In this issue of the Inter-Ocean ap
pears the announcement of Hon. L. B.
Hannah, who is a candidate before the
Republican primaries to succeed him
self as one of the congressmen from
North Dakota. Mr. Hannah 1fa3 been
much before the people of North Da
kota, and his acts as a member of con
gress have been such that the people
of his state are proud of him. He has
during his incumbency of the office
done much for the state and nation
and w'ill be remembered by his con
stituency when the time comes for
nomination of congressmen at the pri
marieinext month.
A HOT TIME IN HOOSIERD0M.
Down in Indiana there is a warm
time brewing in senatorial politics.
The other day a democratic convention
nominated a man who will campaign
for the seat of the present senior re
publican senator. The republican sen
ator has a public record which for un
selfishness, devotion to duty, and en
thusiasm for the public good, has sel
dom been surpassed. The democratic
nominee, although nominally respecta
ble Is admittedly the to6l of the in
famous Taggart machine with head
quarters at the gambling dens of
French Lick. The republican senator
is Alton J. Beveridge. His democratic
opponent is John W. Kern, recent
running mate of William Jennings Bcy
an.
Did you ever notice that the largest
dally issue of the Journal is invariab
ly Friday evening. Strange that thls^aemocratic convention then with yell-
The contest'between these, two typi
cal Indiana personalities, the princi
ples which they represent, and the in
fluences back of them, will be watched
with interest over the entire country.
The contest is not an unusual one in
American politics today but the men
involved and the political methods
used are so interesting as to call forth
comment from the press of both par
ties.
Senator'Beveridge is the ideal of the
rank and fileof the republican party in
Indiana, also he is highi? respected by
the same portion of the democratic
party. Among the office holders and
political bosses of both parties he is
not overly popular. Possessed of un
questioned integrity, rare courage, and
an ability to express his political views
with eloquence and force, his advent
into the senate was first greeted with
scorn on the part of the old land marks
of that body. Beveridge was too ag
gressive he asked too many ques
tions he was too anxious to give the
folks at home honest, progressive ser
vice he needed to be sat upon. There
fore certain ones were detailed to do
the sitting, ones who were experienced
In the art of sitting, and who never
failed to leave the aspiring senator as
flat as the proverbial flapjack when
they quit sitting upon him. They tried
sitting on Beveridge and came away
feeling of themselves. Figuratively
speaking they had been knocked down,
dusted about the floor of the senate
chamber and, though fighting valiantly,
had been chawed up in the melee till
their colleagues stood aghast. After
that when volunteers were called for
to sit on Beveridge you could have
heard a pin drop among the frock-coat
ed brigade who were known as "Influ
ential Members." As time went on
Senator Beveridge grew in knowledge
of public questions, in breadth of view
and general usefulness. Also he lost
some of his youthful liking for fire-!
works. He became self controlled,
ready in debate, sure of his facts, a
hard fighter who feared neither influ
ence In Washington nor lack of sup
port at home. Today he is no longer
merely the senior senator from Indi
ana he belong to the American peo
ple
John W, Kern, &e democratic nomi
nee, has long been knoytir as the Cloak
of Respectability wnica Indiana demo
cracy casts over itself to hide the po
litical filth and disease of Tag*
gartlsm. When th* people cried for

bread at long intervals in the Hoosler
state and it is necessary to han^ them
a stone which at lebst looks like the
staff of life, Kern, the respectable, the
smugly popular public man, who at
first was not suspected, is trotted forth.
When his name carries the day for
Tom Taggart's gambling house in
French Lick, the partnership between
business respectability and lawless
ness is pronounced a great success.
Lately the people have come to know
this partnership and are not fooled so
readily. Yet at intervals to this day
Kern still is drummed into the fierce
white light when it gets too bright
for his owner, Taggart The latest in
stance of this when Kern was nominat
ed fon senator, is particularly interest
ing. •.
Taggart aspired to' become the dem
ocratic nominee for senator. Even In
diana democracy,, debauched ancl cor
rupted for decades, revolted at this and
refused to swallow $uch a dose. Fol
lows much skirmishing, customary
number of assassinations, pitched bat
tles, and black eyes always seen at a
ing of the faithful, beating of bells, and
crash of breaking bottles, Kern is
sprung. Since Taggart can not haye
the plum, ergo, his man Friday, whose
garments are not scprofusely smeared
with grime, must have it Taggart
himself adds the final touch of humor
to the situation by patriotically utter
ing the following: "Gentlemen of this
convention, many of you may not be
lieve it, but I would rather see John
W. Kern senator than be senator my
self." Just why the pestiferous Tom
doubted that his fellow dems would be
lieve him can not be explained.' Cer
tainly Taggart would rather have Kern.
Then the mud slinging Would not reach
Taggart, but as has been demonstrat
ed repeatedly In the past, Taggart
could always reach Kern. The issue
between clean politics and dirty poli
tics allied with vice came very near
to being clouded that day in Indiana.
But when Tom Taggart put the brand
of his ownership upon John W. Kern,
the issues was made to stand out
clearly and unmistakably. If Kern
wins it will be because Indiana voters
want corruption and not cleanliness
in the upper house of congress.

ABOUT THE TARIFF.
In a speech in the house at Wash
ington on February 24, last, Hon. Wil
liam B. McKinley presented a num
ber of truths about the tariff and pric
es that effectually dispose of the mis
representations so widely circulated
regarding these subjects. Among the
facts and figures given is a table show
ing* changes of duty "by items and
schedules. From this it appears that
of 2,024 Items of the Dingley law, 874
were changed, there being 654 de
creases of duty and 220 increases.
This exhibit shows three times as
much revision downward as revision
upward, and justifies the claim that,
as promised in the last national Re
publican platform, the schedules were
very generally and substantially re
vised. For the purpose of deriving
sufficient revenues and adequate pro
tection, 1,150 items weire left unchang
ed as the old duties were believed to
meet all requirements. Of the 187 it
ems in the agricultural schedule only
thirty-three were changed.
Another table submitted by Mr. Mc
Kinley shows the changes of duty ac
cording to consumption value. This
table shows that duties were decreas
ed upon articles having a consumption
value in round numbers of $5,000,000,
OOQ'and 'increased upon articles having
a consumption value of $878,000,000,
But of-" those articles upon which the
duties were increased, $638,000,000 in
consumption Value were luxuries, leav
ing only $240,000,000 of increase on
necessities, or twenty times as much
decrease as increase. As further proof
that there was a substantial downward
revision the following specific exam
ples of actual reductions of duty on

THE DELAY8 IN CONGRESS,
A good many people are Impatient:
and captious because congress is not*
rushing bills through with the speed
that they think ought to characterizes
that body. The complaint is quite gen*:«
era! thait nothing Is being done and
that wrangling among factions holds a
more conspicuous place than does &•:
desire to pass wholesome laws. While
it must be conceded that there Is some
cause for Impatient criticism, yet a
Btudy of the situation will convince any
thoughtful person that the discussions
now going on are of the greatest mo
ment to the American people. There Is'
a disposition and a determination to
carefully scrutinize every measure that
comes up for approval and the debates
thus precipitated are doing much to
enlighten the public as to the merits of
the bills up for consideration. Debate
honestly ancl Intelligently carried on
is one of the best investments that
can be mad$ because in no other way
could thpre be a full understanding ar
rivted at as to the-merits of public
measuiea. The discussions pertaining
to the various phases of the railway
bills have been most helpful to the gen
eral public because they have enabled
a better understanding of the Issues
involved. As long as the members of
the house and senate indulge in ar
guments thai have for their object the
exploiting of both the good and bad
features of pending legislation there
ought to be no objection on the part of
the people because of apparent delay
in reaching a satisfactory adjustment
One of the strong features of our sys
tem of government is the ability to
carefully weigh every proposed legisla
tive enactment and the desire for a
full and free discussion of the issues
Involved. Any other pl^n would make
a farce of an otherwise deliberate as
sembly such as the American congress
is supposed to be.
