AS SEEN BY A REPUBLICAN Tom Taggart is an intense democrat—an intense partisan; but be never relents in bis opposition to everything that does not tend to contribute to the success of the democratic ticket. He is ambitioous to control the democratic party, but nothing can alter his loyalty to that party. He is a sworn enemy of every principle and every candidate on the ballot, except such as the rooster stands for Tbe following extract from a statement made by him. although in the heat of debate, and while resisting and resenting attack, is a spiendid example of his party loyalty that has made him influential for the success of his party. Read it: ~1 want democratic success in Indiana this year, and I want it more than Ido any office. I have given the best years of my life in fighting the battle* of the plain, every-day democrat in Indiana, and never fired one gun against them. Their cause is my cause: their success is tbe sol* reason for my interest in public affairs. Let every democrat bury personal interests and selfish ambition, and go Into this campaign fighting the common enemy and not fighting each other. If we do this, we will make the state house a democratic citadel from basement to dome, elect, thirteen democratic members to congress and elect another United Stases senator to help Senator Shively fight for true tariff reform." Let every republican read the above and substitute republican references and republican names for democratic names, then think what a splendid sermon it is on our own party loyalty.—Martinsville Reporter (Rep.)

| that Mr Roosevelt will take up tbe fight agaiaat Cannon and Cannonism will perhaps b* Interested in a letter printed by the New York WorldThi# letter was written by Theodore Roosevelt to James E. Watson of Indiana in 1»M. and is as follows: "I feel that ail good citixena who have the welfare o' America at heart should appreciate the Immense amount that has been accomplished by the present congress organised as it Is. and the urgent need of keeping this organization in power. Mr. Cannon, as a speaker of the house, has accomplished a literary phenomenal amount of good work. It has shown a courage, good sense and patriotism such that it would be a real and serious misfortune for the country to fail to recognixe. To change the leadership and organiration of the house at this time means to bring confusion upon those who have been successfully engaged in the steady working out of a great and comprehensive scheme for the betterment of our social, industrial and civic conditions. Such a change would substitute a hopeless confusion, a violent and hurtful oscillation between the positions of tbe extreme radical and the extreme reactionary, for the present orderly progress along the line of a carefully thought-out-policy. SNooting Jack Ribb.ts. ■Jack rabbits in Kansas are Just as numerous as they were tbe day the first covered wagon moved across it toward tbe Rocky mountains." said'a Kansas farmer. “It appear* to me they are galloping around in greeter numbers than eTer. Dtd you ever try to exterminate a Jack rabbit? If you never did you've something to learn about shooting. “A jack rabbit’s movement starts with a spring in the air. He lands on all fours, and the intervening space from the time be jumps and the time be lights is Just about nothing, but he covers from ten to fifteen feet with every jump. There’s only one way to take 'em alive and that is to leave tbe top off a pasture well overnight. Next morning there'll be plenty, because jack rabbits will Jump into any kind of a bole that’s open. They seem to have a fondness for dried out wells. They outrun the average dog with ease, but can’t beat the greybound.

SOME SOCIAL NEWS Miss Florence Sprunecr Gives Luncheon For the Berne Chorus. THE QUEEN ESTHERS Winifred Ellingham Entertains —Preble Lutheran Aid Holds Meeting. The following beautiful sonnet, written by Stoughton Cooley, could not have been more appropriate had it been written especiUiy for “Mothers Day,"' which will be observed over the entire United States tomorrow: Mother's Face. Dear face, deep furrowed by the hand of time. And long familiar with each passing care — Dearer by far to me than than those more fair. That still abide in youth* seductive prime. Or wax not old in some congenial clime — Not all the charms of beauty famed and rare With thy sweet, gentle features can compare. Forever hallowed by a love sublime. Thou first idea! of my infant eyes. To be adored as I have older grown— Revered and loved the more the better known — May thy enraptured visage ever rise. To cheer me in the way where duty lies. And be a solace when the years have flown.
