THE STAR IS ALREADY SCARED The Republican party put up a poo’ - fight at* the recent state a .1 congressional election because it »• : s not a homogenous, effective organization, but a collection of two distinct ai d hostile factions. If this situation is to continue, Indiana will have two Democrats instead of one in the United States senate, and ail the available strength of the party will be exhausted upon internecine sttife instead of in winning victories. It is perfectly clear that the Republican leaders, or at least some of them, are already forming their lines for a renewal of this factional strife, looking to control of the organization in 1910. We have, it is true, the announcement from Senator Beveridge that so far as appointments are concerned, at least, selections will be made from the standpoint of fitness; which is very well so far as it goes, but as those appointments are not yet made does not go very far. In the meantime, Mr. Hemenway serves notice upon the party workers that he is a force still to be reckoned with, a person who is very greatly desired in a cabinet office but is above accepting it, one who will have a good deal to say as to patronage and whose intention is to continue in politics. We shall not offer any criticism on

our Indiana senators for what they have said or for what they obviously have in mind. These actions are privileges which no one has the right ,to call in question. But we do invite j the attention of the Republican voters of Indiana to this proposition: That what is wanted here is one party and not two factions. Are Senator Beveridge's appointments to be made to help Beveridge or to strengthen the party? Are these important political undertakings which Senator Hemen- ' way is about to launch in the interest of a faction or of the party? Republican victory in Indiana in ■ 1910 or any other time, can only come as the result of a united party, in | which all elements have a place, and I will never come as the result of one ■ faction taking the offices and the organlzation, relying upon the other faction to do the dirty work and like it. This is a thing the Republican workers throughout the state can control, and if they are wise they will exert themselves to that end. The i warning sounded on Nov. 3 is too : plain to be disregarded.—lndianapolis Star. THE PRESIDENT'S LAST MESSAGE The president s rpessage is hardly a Roosevelt message—it's mild. It is more a review of accomplishment and the doubting Thomas’ should read it, and be convinced that the reign of Roosevelt is the greatest in history. Os course he sees but little in legislative or kidicial government, but much indeed in government by the | executive. For instance in paying his respects to .corporations, he says: ' One of the chief features of this control should be the securing entire puo- , licity jn all matters which the public has a right to know, and furthermore, 1 the power, not by judicial but by executive action, to prevent or put a stop to every form of improper favoriteism or wrongdoing.” So you have it. The courts cannot be trusted, but the executive can; the courts

may err, but not the executive; the courts may play favorites, but not so the executive. Usurpation of powc- and the playing of favorites has been a characteristic of the Roosevelt administration. Precedent and even decency in playing fair has never been a cardinal virtue with President Roosevelt. What s more, it never will be. His message pays some attention to finance, and the argument is produced and the figures displayed to show how masterful has been the operation of his secretary of the treasury. The figures are made covering the seven years, and this is done.no doubt to cover up the deficit that is now causing much newspaper talk and even more anxiety in administrative circles. But the message as a whole is real mellow. After seven years of stirring the animals —in president’s messages only —the last state paper seems tame indeed. But as a booster for what Roosevelt has done, it needs no comment. If you discover a republican with gum shoes, prancing up and down the dark places, don’t get alarmed. The party is out on the hunt of a man who can beat Adair for congress. No clues yet —Bluffton Banner.

COURT CONTEMPT — Theodore Bauer, Employe at Packing House, to Face Serious Charge HE WAS ARRESTED This Morning and Taken to Fort Wayne by Sheriff Meyer—sso is Due Sheriff Meyer received a communication this morning from the clerk of the Allen county court instructing him to arrest Theodore Bauer and deliver him to Fort Wayne authorities, that he may answer to the charge jots contempt, of court. Mt. Bauer, an employe at the Decatur Packing house lived at Fort Wayne for some time prior to coming to Decatur. His wife applied for and secured a legal separation from him some time ago and Bauer was instructed to pay to the court SSO within five days or appear and explain why. This Bauer failed to do and as a consequence he is called upon to face the serious charge mentioned above. Mr. Bauer is a butcher by trade and is said to be an expert in this line. He has proven to be a valuable man to the DecaMir Packing company. When arrested this morning he stated that he had written a letter to the court making explanations, but communications would not serve the purpose. It is thought that misunderstanding by Bauer !is the cause for the arrest, as he has the appearance of being honorable in every respect. o EXCELS ALL OTHERS. Mr. Jurdy Lowry, Wilmore, Ky. says: “I cured some very sick chickens with your Bourbon Poultry Cure and find it to be the best poultry remedy I have ever used.’ 1 Sold by H. H.

“DRYS” CONTINUE TO WIN OUT Carried Election in Licking County Ohio Yesterday Easily. Columbus, 0.. Dec. 7. —picking county today voted dry by 700, knocking out 84 saloons. Hardin county today, also voted dry by 1,200. Twen-ty-one saloons are affected. Fiftyseven out of Ohio’s eighty-eight counties are “dry.” Seven have voted wet. Os the 57 counties in which the saloons have been voted out, five went dry under an old law. As little progiess was made by the anti-saloon followers under that law, it was displaced by the new Rose low which has been successful. Voting will be held in practically all of the remaining twenty-four counties within the next few months.

MANY INQUIRIES Berling and Painter Have Many Offers for Their Invention A CHICKEN PICKER City of Towando, New York Will Give Them Building—A Great Device The chicken picking device invented by Berling and Painter has already gained popularity throughout the country as is evidenced by the many letters they have received in regard to it. A letter was received recently from a city official of Towando, New York, assuring the inventors that should they desire, that city would furnish a building and take stock, if they would manufacture the device at that place. A gentleman from Montreal, Canada, has written, asking for the right of selling the patent picker in the Dominion, and other communications have been received from Columbus, Ohio, St. Louis, Mo., and many other cities. The invention is probably the most unique as well as best labor saving device invented in recent years. Its construction, though simple, has been the subject of careful study of more than two years. The prominence of the picker is in most part due to an article appearing in the New York Journal concerning Its merits. Berling and Painter have not come to a definite conclusion as to what they will do with the patent, but in case they do not sell the right to some one who has tendered an offer, they will arrange to manufacture the device. An Inquiry was also received from Roanoke, Virginia. o — Attorney John C. Moran was at Pot tland. where (important professional business was requiring his time and attention. Democrat Want Ads. Pav
