Entered at the postoffice at Deca II tur, Indiana, as second-class matter, |, ROLE OF THE 1 OPPOSITION: — Much of the success of popular < government is due to the part played 1 by the minority. Through its criti-, ! cism. the majority is restrained, and ’ the public weal is kept above the ■ aggrandizement of thd ruling party. 1 To criticise with regard for the good * of the country, to thwart what is 1 wreng, and to support what is right, that is the role of the opposition. But it is not within the province 1 of the opposition to obstruct simply ’ ’ for the sake of embarrassing the f party in power in the enactment of ‘ its program. It is not within the pro- 1 vince of the opposition to indulge In 1 political sabotage to the injury of I 1 the country. It is not with the pro-I 1 vince of the opposition to launch 1 campaigns of abuse and hostility to 1 the administration, like that launch- 1 ed even before the end of the war ! and relentlessly pursued until the ‘ election. And it will not be within ' the province of the opposition to j hinder and malign the next admini- ■ s stration. or to prevent it from cb-! * taining the full measure of success ‘ to which it is entitled in the service * of the American nation and of all' the American people. There is, fortunately, every reason • * to believe that the Democrats in f their new role will refrain from an t imitation of those lamentable tactics s which the Republicans pursued. The 1 Democrats may be expected not to i endeavor to destroy. There will be < no counterpart from them at the t expense of all the world. They will 1 as.ffst in construction and Mr. Hard- ; ing, bespeaking their assistance, can I be sure of obtaining it. The .best augury for the success ot < the new administration—-and its Sue- ■ 1 cess is earnestly desired by the ad- i herents of both the parties—js that < D. .nocratic leaders like Governor ;

'Cox and Mr. McAdoo Lure advised! against obstruction and sabotage, l and have urged the minority to co-i operate for the enactment of the! measures vital to the country.-— Wabash Times Star. During the eight years of Woodrow Wilson, the inaugural ball at Washington, famed for its champaign, painted faces and low necks, have been put aside, the president not being able to’ discern just how such an opening event in any way aided a serious and business administration of affairs of government for the people. Now Mr. Harding has declared it will be reinstated and the regime will start with a frivolous and old fashioned dance. Os course those, who opposed Mr. Cox and supported' Mr. Harding because of his deeply religious and moral stand, will find' some way to prove this just the - thing to do. Let ’er go boys, we - must get back to normalcy. Does the program also include a let up in the enforcement of other laws, just now of great interest to many people? The grand jury of Delaware county . in a report just made recommends ’ that the judge of the circuit court resign and permit the appointment of an honest man who will not protect and aid the criminals of that now notorious community. The various I press notices sent out from there; rat,her give the impression to the, public that the finding ot such a man there, may be difficult, but those who I know the city, say there are still j some honest and trustworthy citi-i zens to be found, if the right man . looks for them. They made a great , “squeal’’ about Mayor Bunch but he; seems to have been about the squar-. est of any of them for they have had j continuous trouble with their officials I ever since be was deposed. The appointment of Mr. Bert New to be collector of internal revenue for the state of Indiana, will meet the approval of the democrats of the state as well as the others who know him and his ability. He has served in several capacities and was closely connected with the adminis- I trations of Governors Marshall and Ralston. He has always made good' and win make an excellent record in Lis new and important position.,Mr. I William Elder who has resigned is one of the big men of Indiana and his official record is without a blemish. He resigns because of his many - other interests now demanding his attention.

Lew Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis, again wants the job. He made a rather miserable record before and was asked to resign and did. However, there are many who claim he was honest and for the people and that his record as compared to that of Mr. Jewett was a model. It’s a funny world. One day we are down and out and soon after so popu-

i lar that we are recalled. If Shank is the best they have down there, we don’t wonder they are talking commission form of government and a manager. An Indiana man has written Senator New for a job. prefers appointment as a foreign minister but will ; accept a place as policeman at the
