Entered at the postotlice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter STANDS PAT IN EAST INSURGES IN THE WEST The Baltimore Sun says: "rhe republican state convention of New York was under the complete control of ex-President Roosevelt and the socalled progressive republicans. And yet the convention indorsed the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and the tariff commission which is known to be a device for postponing the tariff issue until the republicans can elect another protectionist president." Says the New York World: “In the west Theodore Roosevelt, as a candidate for president in 1912, is a tremendous insurgent. In New- York, where the campaign funds come from, Mr. Roosevelt is willing to be as safe and sane as Senator Aldrich or Speaker Caifhon. After all the foaming and frothing of his western tour, Mr. Roosevelt did not dare incorporate a single distinctive policy of his new nationalism, into the Saratoga platform, although he was in complete control of the convention. In the west Mr. Roosevelt damned the Taft administration with faint praise. In New York We enthusiastically indorse the progressive and statesmanlike leadership of William Howard Taft.” k •TVW , The New York Times says that Mr. Roosevelt left untouched the onlyplank of the platform that is of vital concern to the voters. “That is the tariff plank,” says the Times. “At a time when the anger of the people over the broken pledge of the republican party is everywhere rising, at a time when the protest against the dishonest Payne-Aldrich tariff act is swelling all over the land to a degree which, even stanch republicans admit, portends an almost certain democratic majority in the next house, the republicans of New York have had the hardihood in their platform utterance respecting the tariff to range themselves with Cannon, with Aldrich, with Payne, and with Tawney as defenders of the present tariff, speaking not one single word of apology for their breach of faith which produced it, and giving to the people not the faintest sem-

blance of a pledge that burdensome duties shall be reduced. The New York Sun says: '‘Colonel Roosevelt has dictated the platform, disguising or subordinating for the moment some of those ulterior purposes which he has plainly enough avowed elsewhere; he knows when to be bold and when to be discreet. The management of the campaign is in his hands. 1 He can shape the apparent issues to 1 a certain extent. His responsibility ' for the coming victory or defeat will ‘be undivided. It now remains to be seen whether he can win. The Sun is inclined to regard the singular and unexpected conditions thus developed as advantageous in at least one important way. In view of all that tor which Colonel Roosevelt stands, his ' new nationalism, his revolutionary I program, his designs upon constituI tlonal government in the nation; his I personal ambition to continue as an already resplendent career as a dis; ' turber and a destroyer and a menace, . the result of the voting in November ■ will have a most instructive significance, it seems to us.” So. as the Indiana republican platform pledges our party to a dollar-a-day pension, that pledge will be kept.—Senator Beveridge, t in Tomlinson Hall speech. We presume that this promise is worth about as much as the platform promise to reduce the tariff. The so-called tariff board or “commission” has found that it has no power to compel anyone to give it infor- ! mation about anything. But it is anJ nounced that it will go right along. Os course it will. So long as any of that $250,000 appropriation for ex- ' penses lasts the board is expected to Igo right along. ,-r l Senator Beveridge has undertaken Ito make his audiences believe that I the democratic members of congress ■ were hand in glove with the high proI tectionists in that body when it come Ito making the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. One lone democratic senator voted for the Payne-Aldrich tariff law ' and not a democratic member of the j lower house of congress voted for the law. One democrat could have hardly , have turned this big trick, so the sen- . ator will have to look to his own party when it comes to settling the responsibility. We are glad to assure our readets that Congressman Adair is daily improving and the good news will be hailed with delight by the congressman's many friends, be they democrats or republicans. The voters in the Eighth district are remaining i faithful and true to their splendid . congressman and friend, and expect to 1 give him the same old rousing major-

ity on election day. It Is hoped that within a short time that he will be able to take some part in the campaign. Commenting on mortgage statistics compiled by the state statistician, the Indianapolis Sun (Rep.) says: "Bread and butter topics are the causes and the possible outcome of the debt-incurring proclivities of Indiana people, which have been made manifest by the doubling of the amount of mortgages in 1909 over 1908, as shown by the state bureau of statistics. Where will it end is the question most frequently asked. And there are others who ask: Are we bumping along toward a panic?” The largest increase in mortgages is upon city and town property, but there also has been an increase in the number ar.d amount of farm mortgages. Doubtless there is more than one reason for the enormous growth of mortgage obligations, but it is conceded that the tremendous and alarming rise in the cost of living is the chief cause. And this rise in the cost of living may be traced directly to the unholy prices which the trusts impose upon the people under th4 protection of the wicked tariff laws enacted by the republican party. The only way to secure a reform of these laws is through the democratic party. It is clear that the people now understand that this is so.

A Happy Thought That has made some hearts sing: “To make the most of dull hours, to make the best of dull people, to like a poor jest better than none, to wear the threadbare coat like a gentleman, to be outvoted with a smile, to hitch your wagon to the old horse if no star is handy—that is wholesome philosophy.’’—Bliss Perry.
