In the grist of postoffice appointments sent to the senate by President Wilson yesterday were the names of Harry Hunter at Ossian and Oliver J. Chapman at Eaton, two Eighth district places, showing that Representative Adair is recognized as the distributor of patronage, these being his recommendations. There is a movement among New York republicans to get rid of Barnes as their party leader. But why? They retused to see anything wrong with him when he helped steal the presidential nomination for Taft last June and they voted for the ticket he and his fellow conspirators offered them. The defeat of Taft evidently proved to them that something had dropped.—lndianapolis Star. The annual High School Booster appeared today.

According to the dope as it can be figured from the results of the primary at Indianapolis Wednesday, Joe Bell, the democratic nominee, will be elected next November. He received more votes than the republican and progressive candidates combined. Os course the Indianapolis News thinks the city will go to the bow-wows, but the general public over the state doubts not that four years of Bell would be a credit to four years of Shank.

Lest We Forget CON'i INUZD FTmMI PAGE ONE we are naturally constrained 'to observe the day and defend it against the encroachments of the wicked and the thoughtless. Surrounded by the hallowed memories of the past, it is next to impossible to believe that any citizen of the union would willingly desecrate memorial day, and yet it is not Improbable that for a passing pleasure or the great greed of gain (Love of money being the root of the evil) there will be speedways established on the day and base ball games and sports and pleasure resorts to which the patronage of the public is invited. This may be the age of commercialism, for commercialism is rampant, but far be it from us that the fires of true patriotism should grow dim or the memorials which our fathers have set be tom down and Memorial day become a thing of the past. We must observe and defend our patriotic days! We must instruct and we must educate lest we forget! It is by a deep consideration of that which has gone before us and a true Inspiration of the past that we get unto ourselves greater moral strength and a proper courage for the present and the exigencies of the future. My brother ministers of the gospel, we have done much in the past from the pulpits of our beloved land to enlarge the spirit of patriotism, and we can still do much more. Every pulpit in the land should, and I believe it will, resound with good words of patriotism on Memorial Sunday, May 25. | The press is eager to publish the best thoughts on patriotism from our pulpits, and all lovers of home and native land will rejoice in reading them. My brother Sons of Veterans, we are organized to perpetuate the sacrifices made by our fathers in the maintenance of the union, and on May 30 we have a great duty to perform which w e all esteem a very high privilege, it is that of respecting our fathers, and /in love remembering all the departed comrades by strewing flowers upon their graves. We have a mission and should show to the living veterans and the nation that we are worthy the confidence tnd trust imposed in us. •

As chaplain of the Indiana division. Sons of Veterans, I ask you to see to it that our fathers who are living are not only permitted but actually assisted in the performance of the sweet, solemn duties of Decoration Day. By the sacrifices of our fathers which was even unto death, and the devotion of our mothers which was anxieties and heartaches worse than death, and by the love of home and the exalted blessings of these United States, I hereby urge every camp in the Indiana division to turn out in force on May 30, and assist in every way possible in the observance of the day. Loyally, L. W. A. LUCKEY, Chaplain Indiana Division, S. of V.
