Entered at the poetoffice tn Decatur, Indiana, as sceond class rjall. Governor Marshall is to be commended for his action in stopping the race track gambling at Porter. The Indianapolis Star, supposedly in favor of all the moral codes known to man, makes his action the butt of humorous cartoons, instead of upholding tne executive in his efforts 1o prevent gambling and the converting of Porter into a dumping ground for Chicago cut throats. For the only time in titty years the republicans have no defense to make lor the protective tariff. They admit it needs correction and many even say it is all wrong. Is it to be expected then that not a state in the union is solidly behind Taft? It is doubtful if he will carry a state, for the voters have not forgotten his promise to revise the tariff downward, instead of firming a partnership with the Payne-Aldrich crowd. All the yelping against Mr. Wilson and all the attempts to convince the people that the affairs of the government cannot be conducted in a manner which will give the jieople a fair show, without causing a panic have (alien on deaf ears this year. No one is alarmed and unless the few rich men decide to teach the common people a lessen there will be no caaaathKt of prosperity. If it is that bad, it is time we gave a deed tor all our rights and name the tobaccor trust or some other similar institution as guardians. Ri< hard K Erwin, a native of Adams county, is an aspirant for judge of the supreme court of Indiana It is a most laudable ambition and we are glad that a product of this county will have the honor of filling that position of highest trust. He should be given a vote at home that will prove to the state the regard in which we hold him. That he will serve with credit to himself and to those who love and admire him goes without ar-

gument He should be given a majority in Adams county that will prove our faith in him. Congressman Adair speaks here this evening. For six years he has served the- people of the Eighth district and has performed every duly, kept every promise and never quit working. Is it to be wondered at that he retains the respect and confidence laud loyalty to the voters? He is a ! square man, always lighting for those [ laws which will favor the larger nutni her of people. His work for the old I soldiers particularly marked him as a man of ability and he has innumerI able friends among the veterans all lover the United States. He will dlajeuss the issues of the campaign at the I court room tonight and every voter ! should hear him As a last resort progressive- in Indiana are now trying to trade votes to democrats and regular republicans , tor votes for Beveridge, in a vain I hope that they may put him across 'the plate for the governorship. The;<> .is nothing doing Few men would i consent to placing in this high position a man like Albert ,1. Beveridge, 'an egotistical, high sounding, phrasej slinging politician, who would consult with no one, and who would run the affairs in a manner that would bring nothing but disorder in the state's affairs. Mr. Beveridge had an opportunity for twelve years as a member of the United States senate to make good . but he didn’t, until he felt himself slipping politically, and then made a 'grandstand effort to please a dlssaiis- > tied public. He compares poorly with honest Sam Ralston, and the voters will so declare in their verdict on November sth. Mr. Voter, do you know that a mouse trap that sells for two cents :« (London, retails in New York for five | cents, an increase of 150 per cent* IIX* you know- that men’s shoes which coat five dollars in New York, sell for a dollar less in London? That r $45.00 suit here could be bought liX $25 00 across the sea? That a fifteen cent box of breakfast food here is sold in England for twelve cents. I That all this and a hundred other lines are shipped thousands of miles 'and then sold less than here? Do you think that if we bought these goods at what they can be sold at Its England the manufacturer would lose money l*o yon think the time io here when an adjustment of these things should be made* !x> you believe there is any real argument In

saying a change means hard times? It means nothing but the curtailing of the enormous profits from the rich manafacturer and the time is here when the people should see that this is done. The way to do it is to vote the democrat ticket. Taft has proven that he doesn't want a correction. Roosevelt had seven years in which to start the change and it grew worse every year. Wilson will do it “1 was the leader in three campaigns. Thrice I thought I should write ufy name high among men by taking the people's side. Thrice I cherished the hope that 1 was the man selected by God to lead the hosts out of the wilderness. Now I am a private in the ranks and giving more time to the campaign than the leader gives," said William Jennings Bryan last night, closing his Central armory address. "1 was never more interested in my own campaign than 1 am in his. I am fighting for him as 1 fought when the leader and carried the standard of the greatest army that was ever met. "What difference does it make whether his imme or mine is added to the list of presidents? One hundred years from now be and 1 w*il be known not by what our country has done for us, but what we have done for our country. I-**t him be president. He deserves to win. I "When he is made president he shall not be happier than I shall be. I When the wires issue the word that he la to be the president, he and his ! wife In tiieir eastern home will be happy, but ouLin Nebraska there will I be a man and his wile as joyous as those in New Jersey. "To New Jersey it will bring the honor of the presidency, but th us it will bring a joy that no office can give. We will feel that we have not toiled in vain; that the tight of sixteen long years was worth while and that in the last charge the government has been taken out of the hands of Wall street and made a governJsaeat of the people, by the people and tor the people."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
