Entered at th 0 post office in Decatur, if some one besides Murphy wae buck of the investigation of Governor Sulzer of N"cw York, the people generally would have more faith that tne prosecution is ou the square and not a smooth political trickIndependence in politics, sueli as is now being waged in a dozen Indiana cities, means giving the party out of power a chance to put over some of the candidates. Really, it's a joke, when you think it over seriously ait 1 you wonder how they ever got such a start. The ‘'country” bankers —those out'sltie the big financial centers of the country—are privileged to go as far as they like in indulging in a bit of pardonable pride over the fact that they I were invited to Washington to discuss financial matters with Secretary MeAdoo. Heretofore the man from Wail street lias been about the only one consulted as to the country's fiiianci.il welfare.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. The appointment of Mrs. McDonald l to succed her husband. James McDo,i-| aid, the veteran Ligonier newspaper i v.an, as oil inspector, will gi\i general satisfaction and will he especially! well received by the newspaper fra-J ternity, among whom Mr McDonald! had long been a leader. For a year j he had been slow ly dying of a fatal di-i sease, and his wife had been lookin'* utter his duties as oil inspector. A day or two ago they were informed that she would be named to stitpetd iier husband, thus assuring her of an income ol $1,400 per year. It may be all right from a narrow partisan standpoint for those republican senators and republican newspapers to do ail they can to make the solution of the Mexican problem harder for President Wilson and tin* democratic administration, but at the same time it shows a low ebb of pa triotism upon their part Any party or members of any party who will lend their aid by word or deed to *ueourage a foi'eign nation to reject proposed peace plans just because i) happens to come from an administration of an opposite political faith is In irtighty small business.
