William H. Taft was made a Mas

ruary 18.
The Indianapolis News, whose edi
tors together with the editor of the
Now York World" who were indicted
by the federal grand jury, says: "The
issue presented by the indictments is,
of course, one for the court; in re
gard to that little or nothing need be
said. But there is a wider issue con
cerning which, we think, a good deal
will be said. Perhaps it is needless
to say that the course of the News
will bo in no way influenced or af
fected by what has happened. We
shall continue to discuss public ques
tions on their merits, as in the past,
and to criticise public men without
political or partisan bias. This is
'the phase of the question that most
concerns the public. It has a right
to know that the functions of a free
' "and independent -newspaper will not
cease to be allowed to be performed,
and also to knw that no personal
element will be allowed to obtrude
itself in any of the criticisms that
we may feel called on to make. We
shall not be coerced into silence, nor
tempted into unfairness. Believing
that the great principle of freedom
of the press is at stake we must do
what we can to uphold it. No more
important service than this can be
performed by a newspaper, especially
at this date. The public, to which
the News alone acknowledges any
obligation, may feel sure that this
paper will continue to serve its in
terests as it sees them. To sum up,
we shall print the news and tell the
truth about it as it is given to us
to see the truth."

Washington dispatches say that
the cost to the United States of pub

The .presentation to the state of
Iowa of a portrait of General James
B. Weaver was made the occasion
recently of a notable gathering at
Des Mjoines. Rev. Joseph F. Nugent
made tho speech presenting the por
trait to tho state. Addresses were
delivered by Major John F. Lacey
and Mr. Bryan. Judge H. E. Deemer
made the speech of acceptance for
the historical department. General
Weaver accompanied by Mrs. Weaver
were accorded the highest honors by
the large assemblage. In the even
ing a banquet was given to General
Weaver, the. program being as fol
lows: Toastmaster, Senator W. D.
Jamieson. Invocation, Rev. J. F.
Nugent; "Why this Banquet," Jerry
B. Sullivan; "Why I Seldom Miss a
Banquet," Warren Garst; "Politics
is a Great Game," Lafe Young;
"What Constitutes a Great Game?"
H. W. Byers; "The Senate," Senator
J. A. De Armand; "The House,"
Representative W. L. Harding; "The
Profits of Politics," M. J. Wade;
"The Ladies," G. F. Rinehart;
"Brotherhood," James B. Weaver;

war, and who, forty-seven years ago,
stormed Fort Donelson together,
were among the guests at tho ban
quet. The survivors of this historic
battle are accustomed each year to
celebrate the anniversary, and this
year merged their plans with those
of General Weaver's friends of later
years.
Henry A. Wise, assistant United
States attorney at Now York, dis
cusses in tho Evening Sun the indict
ments returned against the World
and tho Indianapolis News, saying:
"The statute under which the indict
ments are found is the act of July
7, 1898. This statute forms section
5,391 of the Revised Statutes and is
a substantial re-enactment of an act
passed in 1825. It provides that in
any territory ceded to the govern
ment by a state, as for example tho
District of Columbia, the criminal
law prevailing in the state at that
time shall prevail. Now, in the state
of Maryland, which ceded the Dis
trict of Columbia, the criminal law
of England making libel a crime pre
vailed prior to 177 G, and was re
tained as tho law there after inde
pendence. It is therefore .under the
common law of England, as adopted
by the state of Maryland and subse
quently applied by congress to tho
District of Columbia, that theso in
dictments are found."

Concerning the indictment against
it the New York World says: "The
formal charges in the indictments
bear only a nominal relation to the
actual offense which the president
seeks to prosecute. The real offense
of the World is that for years it has
consistently opposed on principle Mr.
Roosevelt's jingoism, his militarism,

110a week from
nine acres of beans
Mr. O. M. Wakeman, who lives near Hidalgo, Texas, in the Gulf Coast
Country, planted nine acres to beans on Tebruary first and by the 5th of
April nino weeks later ho had harvested 1,385 bushels, for which ho
received $1,030.75, over $110 per week. But Mr. Wakeman's income
did not stop at the end of the nine weeks, for he raised two or three other
crops on the same land during the balance of the year.
How many men in the city are making $110 per week or even half of
that7 Are you? Is it surprising that hundreds of city men are leaving
their positions up north and are going to the Gulf Coast Country of Texas
where they can enjoy an income of from $2000 to $5000 per year from a
plot of ground the size of a city block and at tho same time live a health
ful, out-of-door life. , u ..
