HOLD THE BALANCE:— Generally speaking, the east is republican, while the south is solidly democratic. This leaves the central and western states holding the balance. Democratic managers, therefore, are wise in beginning the campaign in these states, and they will be wiser it' they keep it up. Gov. (Jox can be elected without New York, just as Mr. Wilson was, and the chances are that he will be. Those liberal policies which held tlie west and some central states to the democratic party four years ago still hold good. The same narrow minded commer dal attitude which brought the east into the Hughes column must still he reckoned with. It is not a theory but a fad that re ; publican politics revolves mainly , around Wall street. It is a fact, not a theory, that democrats must look to the farmers and ;

other plain folks. For the lust half century, and roughly speaking, of course, the lineup has been between big business on the one hand and the masses on the other. The democratic party may have blundered, floundered, and reversed itself, but it has always been closer to the real pulsating life of the real people. Mark Hanna George 11. Cortelyou., Aldrich. Platt and Quay still typify republican purposes and methods. Expediency for the sake ®of geting there, and at the expense of conviction, is still the dominating thought at republican headquarters.

1 the republictut party stands for getting votes and grubbing power, no matter by what means, more disitnetly than it stands for anything else. That is what brought {ibout Senator Harding's nomination in Chicago, that is the keynote of every campaign maneuver, and that is whut is uppermost in the mind of every principal republican leader today. —• Huston Chronicle, reprinted in Chicago Tribune as ‘'Editorial of Day.” These embittered enemies of the league because of Woodrow Wilson's belated championship of it — are fond of talking übout America saving itself. They profess the desire to save our own soul first, before we spread our service out too thin over the world. Well, the simple but wonderful truth about this is that he that would save his own soul shall lose it, because it will shrivel up in the fires of its own selfishness. The way for the soul to grow strong is for it to be spent in the service of others, i'he hermit of old sought to perfect his spirit through abstinence from :he world and the crucifixion of the natural man. Jesus showed us a better way. it is not getting, but giving, that makes a man or a woman rich in tlie priceless treasures of sublime ami saintly character. It was the despised Samaritan of Galiieean whom Jesus especially loved. Let us hope that Senator Harding may yet tequire some common feeling with tlie Christian sentiment which can not brook the scornful and heartless nicer that some of these people who ire in trouble are a long way off. or live in desert places, or are beneath the scope of that loving mercy which blesses him that gives even more than him that takes. —Indianapolis Star.

I Governor Cox told the people in his Pittsburg speech last night the i quotas for the various cities over the ' country and easily convinced those who heard him that his estimate of ' fifteen million dollars for the repub I deans to carry the election Was about fifty per cent low.

FOR THE FARMER ■ ■ Dr. McCulloch Pledges Himself to Bring About Better Laws in — INTEREST OF FARMERS Recognizes the Rights ot Small Communities — Urges Good Roads Jasonville, Ind., August 27. Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch, the democratic candidate for governor, pledged himself in an address delivered here tonight to bring about measures, if elected, that will make farm life more attractive and to give the agriculturist a voice in the settlement of affairs that vitally concern him.’ He urged that the farmers have representation on bc.h state and county tax board' and promised to "recognize the rights ot small communities properly to spend their own money for their own roads." In speaking of the state board of agriculture the nominee emphatically declared it “should be broadened.” “The very foundation of our prosperity and well being depends upon the farmer,’ said Dr. McCulloch, “and yet in matters of legislative construction he has been the most neglected Several fundamental ideas should operate in looking after his welfare. First comes the question qf an adequate force to operate the farms. The high wage of the cities have tempted so many of our young men and worn on to leave the farms, the comforts, advantages and attractions of citv life have proved alluting, that the shortage of help is not a future, but a present condition. Unless fare, life can be made equally attractive, and these young men brought back, w_ shall be confronted with the graves: ■economic conditions. We shall fiiid unproductive acres that should be adding their quota of grain to the world’s market. Tractors and other mechanical implements cannot take the place of strong arms and contented minds. Therefore every possible agency that tends to discourage undue migration to the cities must be employed. Urges More Good Roads. “Under this head come good roads, with their provision of easy access to the surrounding towns and their stores and amusements. This is entirely apart from the absolute necessity of such roads, and plenty of them, in order that farm products may be marketed promptly, and to the best advantage.

“I shall do all in my power to promote and carry out a comprehensive and carefully planned system of state, county and township roads for these two very essential purposes. “I shall discourage every attempt to cripple these advancements, and shall recognize the rights of the small communities to properly spend their own money for their own roads. "A great source of loss to the farm is the inadequacy of transportation. Perishable products are hung up en route, or are imprisoned on the farms and gardens by this lack . It should be the duty of the railroads to secure adequate and equitably distributfCd rolling stock to handle these products, and for that reason more over, the farmer has a very direct pecuniary interest in coal strikes and railroad strines, which operate in this way to his great disadvantage. Therefore. when conferences are held for settlement of such disputes, it is onlv proper that the farmer should be heard, and his interests considered. This is a step which has not had consideration in the past, and the i farmer has been one of the heaviest sufferers. “A bnreau of markets should be established with all the advantages that such a bureau, well equipped could confer. It would operate toward getting better prices for the products oi i the at the same time more reasonable prices to the consumer. There is no legitimate reason why apples should sell for a dollar per bushel in the orchard, and $4.50 per bushel to the consumer. A $3.50 profit is entirely too much to be picked off bv tile middle men. Farmer at Disadvantage. “In the marketing of live stock, the farmer has again been at a great disadvantage. Certain abuses at the [stock yards regarding the prices charged for feed, and dictation as to the price and grading of cattle, hogs and poultry have made their marketing a one sided affair, always to the disadvantage of the seller. The°e matters can be controlled by apferpyriate legislation, and should be.

"Cold storage ware houses should' also receive state legislation, looking! toward a provision against manipula ! tion of the markets to the disadvantage at once of the seller, and the ultimate consumer. "Our federal laws on these subjects are excellent, btifotr state should ex 1 tend its help also. I repeat, the farm

Vthe foundation of national prosp*' ity, and should have the th ,u 1 , than the last consideration. ” wealth primarily comes of t *« and the workers thereon are in< than worthy of their hire. "There should be opportunity U’ collective bargaining in the dispoi ■ of their products along lines " have bo successfully been Hied <>"' 111 the great fruit regions of tin wc-i I coast, and in the state of New York. “Opportunities for the purchase ot land on favorable terms should I"’ emplifled. The federal land banks act has done much. The joint land banks can do more when released from lit. Ration. "I pledge myself and the democrat 11 party to do everything possible to ward the realization of these and other measures of vital necessity to the well being, happiness ami prosp. ity of our much neglected class of citizens, and finally I stand for the ade quate representation of the fanner In u fanner on tax boards, stat' anti j county. Here surely their interest is vital, and more than worthy of such recognition.” INDIANAPOLIS MARKET Indianapolis, Aug. 27 —(Special to; Daily Democrat)— Hog receipts. 9,-j 500; market 25 to 50 higher; best heavies, [email protected]; medium mixed, [email protected] ; common choice. $15,85© 16.25; bulk sales, $15.75@16; cattle receipts, 600, strong; steers, $8.50@16-75; cows and heifers, $6.50 @13.75; sheep receipts, 800, market steady; tops, $5.50®6.50.
