This is a serious undertaking. iii. v. i .-iLiuuj The democrats in congress are at last p'aying good politics and at present writing are even making Speaker Cannon sit up and take notice. The public is enjoying it and every democrat simply cannot contain himself for joy.

Now comes Hon. Charles S. Hernley, both physically and politically a big gun in the republican ranks of Indiana, and makes the bold prediction that the state is lost to the republicans by forty thousand or more. In his analysis he says there is no republican but that the insurgents in congress are trying to divert the purposes of the party from its original channels —protective tariff. Mr. Hernley further adds fuel to the flames by asserting that Senator Beveridge will fall short of the required number of votes to return him to the United States senate, and it is now but natural the average republican should be seriously inquiring, what next? All of which is making the life of a democrat one sweet and continuous dream these days. Congressman J. A. M. Adair is again being put forward as a suitable person to be nominated for governor in 1912 by the democrats of Indiana. Mr. Adair has twice been elected toj congress from a strong republican district. This in itself is evidence of extraordinary personal popularity, but there is more to his credit than mere- ’ ly being popular. He has ability and !

is actuated by a sincere desire to be useful to his constituency and the people in general. But it is too early to spend valuable time in boosting candidates for 1912. The proper thing to do just now is to place the democratic party upon a solid foundation for the championship of measures in the interest of the country at large, so as to justify party leaders in appealing to intelligent voters for support at the polls.—South Bend Times. 152 ACRES. 152 cleared and under high state of cultivation.

(United Press Service.) Butiada, Uganta, Africa, Jan. 17. — (Special to Daily Democrat)—Word from ex-President Roosevelt today says that he refused to make any statement when informed that Gifford Pinchot had been deposed from office. Mr. Roosevelt was known as the sponsor and warmest admirer of the deposed forester. Aside from an expression of surprise at the news of nis dismissal. Colonel Roosevelt would make no comment. The Roosevelt party will probably spend the week hunting white rhinoceros, of which species the colonel has already landed one. — o I wish through this paper to thank the kind friends and neighbors for their liberal donations.

To describe the various designs and give the different dimensions of all the flags used in our army and navy would require several columns of space. There is a considerable number of flags of various kinds that have peculiar functions to perform. Ihe amount of hunting required for the outfit of one of our battleships is something enormous, for. besides our own flags, she must lie supplied with a varied assortment (some forty odd) of foreign national flags for display, as naval etiquette demands, when the bigli officials of other nations come aboard or whose waters our ships enter while on n foreign cruise. All of these foreign flags are made at the Brooklyn navy yard.-Manches-ter (N. H.i Union. Not Worth Having.
