Adair for the third time as democracy's nominee for congress iti this district is no surprise to a democrat, republican, or any one else. It it the reward which was due to an honest, capable, hard-working, conscientious and honest official, and the . democrats are entitled to no particular credit for having named him as their standard-bearer, but rather they are to be congratulated upon having such a man in public life whom they can honor. In the language of the street Congressman Adair has long ago made good, and the democracy of the district simply voiced public sentiment which is paramount in all parties by again naming him as their candidate. Four years as congressman has broadened and finished him in many ways, and it has also fitted him to better represent the people in the national halls of congress. There is no departmental businuaajp Washington in which he is not familiar in every detail. in fact he has now j reached the place when his real w’orth counts, and where he is able to give even better service both in and out the halls of congress. Congressman Adair intends to make the same aggressive campaign, and after the first of August until the last vote is registered in the ballot box, he will devote himself industriously to the congressional campaign. The Democrat congratulates the democrats of the district upon the splendid tribute paid Congiessman Adair in the Muncie convention, and we congratulate Mr. Adair upon his record during the four years he has represented the Eighth congressional district in the national halls of congress. Now comes the republicans of the First congressional district in congressional convention assembled, and endorse President Taft, the Payne-Al-drich tariff law and refers in high complimentary terms of the oratorical

ability of Senator Beveridge. We all know that Senator Beveridge is an unusual speaker, and we know too that such silly guttjs no endorsement of him "or his official life as a senator. representing Indiana in the United States senate. The trustees of the state are to be pardoned for the feeling that many of them hold toward the public accounting law and its relation to them. This feeling of resentment arises from the fact that the law has come into prominence through the discoveries of shortages that have been made possible by the visits of the examiners acting under it and the resulting inference that all the law does is discovered fraud.. This is not true. The great benefit of the law to the taxpayers of the state lies not in the amount of misapplied eleven stolen public money that can be recovered, but in the saving of leaks in the future. A newly elected trustee comes into office with little or no specific training along the lines of his ' public duties and any trustee will gladly state that he has frequently been puzzled to know just what his duties were in a given case. The methods introduced by the new lawgive a uniform system all over the state and the little losses made necessary by inexperience will in a measure be avoided, to the immediate pecuniary advantage of the public corporation affected. In this respect thi law in the main is a great advantage, it may have and no doubt has many matters of detail that ought to be changed and improved, but in course of time this will be done. —Columbia City Post.
