The Bloomington Telephone, *’ a straight-laced Republican paper, sis greatly worried by the talk it hears from members of its own party to the effect that they are “afraid that Indtana may go Democratic agalnjiext time." The Telephone says that it takes no stock in “such namby-pamjiy gossip.” It declares that “th? opelo r cal issue that prevailed so disastrously a year ago Should not and wllFnot be a question a year hence,” and that the s “northar Republican majority wlil I carry that’ party through. These are, | rather interesting views, even if sat. 8 specially important In the first 'place; however, it is extremely doubtful If the Republicans have a “normal” or any other sort -of majority in Indiana.. The state, on the “normal’basis, has been both Democratic and Republican, Each party when it has gained' control has continued in power for a period extending over several years. In 1872 the Democrats elected a governor and a superintendent-of public instruction. Following that they held the state until 1880. In 1882 and 1884 the Democrats were again successful. In 1886 and 1888 tile Republicans won the state offices. In 1890 and 1892 the Democrats came again into power. In 1896, under abnormal conditions, the ; Republicans got control and held on for twelve years while the Democrats were adjusting their private differences. . ■; . ‘ _ In 1908 the Democrats, with their j house again in order, went out In i earnest after the state and got it. i Their house is now in even better or. i der than before, and they are in j prime condition to wage a successful 1 fight in 1910. This they could do with , their opponents united. But the Re- 1 publicans are not united. They have , gone to pieces on several rocks and , the? rocks are still there. There are so many factions that it is hard to keep track of them, and they are all knifing each other with enthusiasm. If Indiana shall go according to “nor. mal” conditions in 1910 it will go Democratic. It certainly cannot gb Republican. • Thanksgiving is but a few days p away. Let us pause jn our anticipatiofi of roast turkey, dressing and cranberry ptoce and give a little heed to the cry of the poor and the ' needy. Let’s not give thanks 'with , a full stomach, hot knowing that ev-< f ery stomach around us is at tat a point where they, too, I cad give thanks v to the ’AH Wise' | of I’’ » aOe ! sJSß’®Hfistianß, whether weaxd church members at all. Lettoi'hfelp p the poor and give them at least one Er day of real thanksgiving. A person can go through the motions all ,ri#>& K and. make a good appearance of Using I: thafikful for the things that -have Bi been, and the things that ahe, and do E it too, on an empty stomach, but how, ■gEb..’ ■' ll '•/JTlj much more happy and thankful. they y * • can be on a stomach that bulges a little with the good things of life; |r ■So on this Thanksgiving, think of your neighbor, think of the poor and the fe distressed, and a division with them will - make you all the happier, and too, it will make your Thanksgiving the real joy it was Intended. Try it. The Des Moines News, a Republican paper which is classed as Senator K ? Cummings’ organ, had this to say a few days after Mr. Taft made his K . speech on the tariff: < “Hepraises Aldrich as a statesman R and names him for leader of financial legislation, and speaks a good word for Cannon and Payne. He argues for the tariff .bill, admitting that he got his figures from Aldrich and Payne, Bft. m ; ..■■■ .. ,ul..

Shades of Theodore Roosevelt!

The observing Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati 'Enquirer, Mr. R. ; G> Tucker, has this to say In a recent letter to his paper: “The nomination of young men as candidates for congress may be the rule , with the Indiana Republicans next year t A desire for pew blood, seems tobave come with the overwhelming defeat of the last campaign'.’’ t ’ V If any party ever needed new blood it is the Republican party. It also needs a new set of principles. With newd leadership, new principles, a decent regard for the welfare of- the people and a throwing overboard of the special Interests and other flotsam and petsam the Republican party in time might hope to regain some degree of public confidence. The general tone of the Republican papers of this state shows that their industrious editors are not only perplexed, but discouraged. Especially pitiable is the condition of those who are wanting postoffices or other nice federal positions. The quarrel between President Taft and Insurgent Beveridge over the latter gentleman’s refusal to support the tariff bill makes the situation exceedingly delicate for the office-seeking editors. If they should indorse Beveridge’s stand they offend the president and if they indorse the president they are swatting Beveridge in the 'flice. The senator controls the patronage in eleven (congressional 1 districts J subject of course, to the presidept’s approval. Just how to work out the puzzle satisfactorily is what it . keeping . the jplace hunters awake of nights. There are two sidto to the pork question. One is the consumer. With live hogs selling at |B, pork will be over 20 cents a pound and becomes a costly article of . diet, almost beyona the reach of the family with moderate income. On the other hand; the farmers who can raise hogs profitably at |6 a hundred have a gold mine before, them when the price is- 48. But how many of the farmers-have forethought enough to be ta ’ii position -to take advantage of fheie bpjfertdni< tips t. Without plgft they harej hogs. Last year, when pork was con slderably lower tban .*t is now, Cobs jaunty fanners acknowledged that they made 25 per cenFclear“"profit on gurney invested ip ttogs. The mermanta and manufacturers of South Bta^would a bpqanza if could receive anything near guch profits.—•South Bend Times. •1 Although it wijl cost the taxpayers of Adams county half a million dm lays', yet the sentiment is unanimous , tor the payment of every dollar of principal and Interest due on macadam road bonds and interest. The (Citizens of Adams county believe in the payment of their just debts an». not only that, the only regret they have* is that future building of these splendid (roads Is tabooed. Adams cobnty has been a pioneer In these roads, and according to government, reports they now have more miles of macadam roads than any county in the United States. -Jt has been the greatest Improvement ever made, and they would like to complete the roads and make Adams county the paradise of the universe. ■ 1 '''f 41 The Eighth district is now entirely saloonlees—probably the only cou-- .

Congress will meet in regular'&s---1 slon two weeks from today, but ajt 1 present writing there is no special work upon which the members of are united. There has never been a session of our national congress /when 1 the leaders of the majority party were as far apart and as hopelessly divided as at the present time. It ; is impossible for them to get together and as a result there js plenty of fun ahead for the minority. I"! J , IMU'll'.tW These western Republicans have made up their minds that they are not Sts keeply concerned as President Taft declares himself to be about party solidarity. They have grown tired of paying tribute, to the already overprotected manufacturers of. New England, and they are irrevocably committed to a revision of the tariff comwMl mean something, instead of the makeshift measure foisted upon the country by the late special session of Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon. If the president gets close enough to the real people on his western trip to ascertain their views and opinions he will find they have enlisted for a war, not to make a noise, and that there Will be no surrender until the congress has been aroused to enact legislation demanded and sorely needed for the benefits of the whole people instead of for the further lardtog of the trust-fed special interests.—-St Paul Pioneer Press, Rep. , — ■ - ..'-1-,4* The ladles of Whitley county are having’ their annual exhibit at Columbia City of practical domestic art—products of the kitchen and sewing room.
