It s a great advertisement for any city. —f* Now that Hood Pratt Loveland's recommendation for reappointment as postmaster at Peru has been confirmed, the "personal affront" to Indiana's vine-clad statesman is complete.— Hartford City Timee-Gazette (Rep.) If you hear anybody complain about the weather of the past week, shoot him on the spot. If this hasn't been about as perfect as it's ever dished up, we admit our inability to judge. A petition for a local option election in the city of Elwood has been filed. It is signed by 525 voters and the drys” claim they will win easily. The tin plate mills are located there and it promisee to be one of the warm option campaigns of the year. With a whoop and hurrah. President Taft is coming to Indiana; he will be here sometime about the Fourth of July; his coming has a motive, a great big, grand motive. He comes to cement the political elements of his party with a binding friendship and start the party in this, the Hoosier state, off on the right foot for 1912! Some one should be frank enough to tell the president that it is no use. The people are running things politically in Indiana just now. The people here are tired of the republican party, both in the state and in the nation. They propose to turn the country over to the democrats and try them a while. Indiana is now a democratic state and proposes to stay that way for a while, if not longer. The president need not come to Indiana. It will not do his party any good.—Frankfort Daily Crescent. The democratic house of representatives has about completed its work and in a large degree has carried out the promises of the democratic party to the people in the way of reforms. What the republican senate will do with these reform measures is not known, but the prospects now are that the reciprocity bill, the farmers’ free list measure, the election of senators by the people and the reduction of the tariff on wool will sleep the sleep that knows no awakening, or if they are considered by that agust body they will be so amended, distorted and changed that they will not have in them any of the reforms proposed by the house. If the democratic house does nothing more than it has it will demonstrate to the people that the democratic party is in earnest when it says certain laws need to be adjusted and certain changes are needed and show to the people that the party can be trusted to carry out its promises made.—Hamilton County Times.

If I bad the time U find a place And sit me down to full face to face With my better self that cannot show In my daily life that rushes so,— It might be then 1 should see my soul Was stumbling still towards the shining goal, I might be nerved by the thought sublime. If I had the time! If I had the time to let my heart Speak out and take in my life apart; To look about and stretch a band To a comrade quartered in no-luck-land. Ah, God! if I might but just sit still And hear the note of the whippoorwill. 1 I think that my wish with God's would rhyme— If I had the time! If I had the time to learn from you How much comfort my word coul ddo; And I told you then of my sudden will To kiss your feet when I did you ill; ; If the tears aback of the coldness feigned Could flow, and the wrong be quite explained,— Brothers, the souls of us all would chime. if we had tbetime!

Even then don't look into the extinguished candle. Such an act would be as foolish as to look into the muzzle of a gun. Don't lean the stick of a sky rocket toward any house or building, for the falling sparks might cause fire. See that the stick is so pointed that the sparks will come in contact with nothing inflammable when the rocket descends.
