OUR HOUSE OF LORDS:—v The Indianapolis Star, state repub- • lican organ for Indiana, speaks most disrespectfully of the Chicago conven tion and its candidates, saying: Harding is not the nominee through any superior merits or efforts of his own, but has been merely the conven- 1 tent title chosen by a group of power- 1 ful politicians for an enterprise ' launched long ago. Their aim was t<; 1 dictate the platform and the ticket. 1 Who should be chosen for the com 1 paratively empty honor did not great ‘ ly matter so they selected bint, 1 put him across and were known by 1 him unequivocally to be the authors of 1 his nominal success and the masters 1 of his acts. 1 A more cold-blooded or brazen i.n- ! dertaking -was never planned or car- ’ ried out with greater scorn for the | 1 popular regard.

convention itself and of the world a large, they manipulted the proceed ings and the decisions without th< slightest deference to good taste or tt common honesty. Crass indiffereuct to the people and to men who have been and still are to an extent pop ular idols was displayed with a sar donic glee that denoted a disposiS-ui to draft a piece of work satisfactory to the rulers and anger the masses. After Kansas, a progressive state, had cast its solid vote for Harding under promise that Henry Allen would he named for vice president, they cooly sent word to him that he was rejected for Lenroot, another senator, who should really have been chosen in order to make the senate’s representation as complete as its triumph. The senate has had a great deal to say in recent months about the dangers of autocratic power. Its acts al Chicago show that the senate is afraid of autocratic power only in case it does not exercise it itself. There are no limits to the tyranny with which the senate will rule the land, if it ha ■ the power. It resents Woodrow Wil son’s dictation merely because it isn’t doing the dictating itself. This is the outfit and this the situation with which Harding, an irreproachable man in his own personality, now has to deal. An impecunious man, he will have to rely upon the ring to supply the sinews of war. The beneficiary of the senatorial ringsters, he will doubtless find that his appointments are already mortgaged to the influences that have used his name to mask their own aims and plans. Our American house of Lords, as it has well been called, never stood to win a larger stake or to lose more tragically. It is riding high, but possibly for a heavy fall. The Schafer Saddlery Co. will erect a modern business block on First street, the contract being let last evening. Within a short time they will be occupying a solid half block, three and four stories high. The new concern is one of strength, composed of the right kind of business men, with real money back of them and a knowledge lof affairs that means success. We arc proud of this splendid institution and glad they have the pluck to double their size in spite of a fire that would have made the average company quit for good. The new company will be the strongest in the north half of the state and will soon be one of the larg

The public would like to know just what happened in thut conference at qhe fflackstone at 2:11 the other morning, which made Hi Johnson quit so completely and close his lips so effectively, This is the first time he I has been quiet for a week since the I war broke out. Whatever the dose they gave him, it seems to have had the desired effect. ■— The New York Times not only ob-! jects to the platform adopted in Chicago but says the candidate selected i for president won’t do and the Times is known as the republican organ of. the east. A double column editorial | announces that the Chicago convention has presented the democrats with J the gift of a splendid opportunity. - » 11 It’s a tough job to conduct a news-' I paper any time. If you don’t think. ie so, just get into it some time —but at I 0 this time it’s the next tiling to an; e impossibility, for added to all the i e other griefs and woes, is the fact that i i ) ' a fellow has to go out and beg for r * print paper on which to publish—and II that’s just what we are doing today. y ———— ?. Mr. Proctor doesn’t seem to relish d the trimming he got in the Chicago r convention. He admits he spent more ' e than half a million for Woods and then y to have a half dozen “foxy” senators d put it over so easily is enough to o make even a soap man feel that he had r- been “soft.” The Northern Indiana fair will open , ,1 August 10th and there will be four big .. days and nights.

Be sure to speak for a ticket. r It’s a pretty good old world at that and there have been much harder times than those you are going through just now.
