[ THE SENATE MINORITY The minority in the United States senate are just beginning to realize the presence of the junior senator from Indiana, and It will not be long until politics, at least, will .be- ptayr' ed by the minority statesman with a little more regard for the party these senators are supposed to; rK. represent There are times whem grt from the speeches and votes of democratic senators, it would be hard to score thelf politics, and this his been ES one of the greatest hindrances the i; party In the various states - huvrrtratt .to contend with. Besides being a g . ■ ■ ; ' • great statesman, Senator Shively has some old fashioned notions about the duty a public man owes to. the party that furnished him official recognition. belidves that political saneness Is a cardinal principle. He believes that if his party pledges itself tow democrat .nut even a senator, ’has a moral' fight to vote I for '*■ High tariff, and in this. he Is already beginning tb show the democrats ikn (the United'States senate the ernstr <uf their ways. He has a fruit- ■ .■ • ’ , ful field to work in, and it will take time to break up the practices of twenty years or more, but you may toast Senator Shively to put into effect; and practice this new era in senatorial statesmanship. J.;dtoubt if there ; is a man in the | the country that so well . know® the tariff and its effects as does* this Isdlaaaa. senator, and-K- ie - well for democracy that the tariff is p to play such an Important part in the , coming campaign. As every living ■ being every da yof his Mfe pays trib- , ute to the elements-that are fostered , -v by protection, it is time for every one | of us to awaken, and It is time tor ; • ’ every democratic newspaper topreach ( J / the doctrine of a tariff for revenue, and it is time for democratic statesmen and party leaders to scent the 1 . - trail to democratic victory. 1 w w. . 1 ADAMS COUNTY i OWEB NO BONDED DEBT < Adams county is free from the tang- t ling alliance of bonded debt. They t have set aside money sufficient to pay t the last bond and interest owing by 1 the county, and which becomes due t ' January 11, 1911. All this is pleasing to the citizens and taxpayers and t demonstrates that business policies r alone govern the action of the board ( of commissioners in the transaction * of the financial affairs of the county. ( It Is pleasing to the people to know < ■ - that the public, business of the county < is In reality pelfc tics. They are only too glad to re- } pose that confidence in her officials that comes in commending faithful- ( ness in public life, and in this, the county commissioners are entitled to words of commendation. ( They have vfojl toelr duty and the Democrat is glad to congratulate ' them and the county upon their j record and upon the excellent stand- j ing of the so. tee fl;j®cial , world. Along with the clean financial slate 1 Adams county's public buildings tre in good condition and rank with the average in any county in tU6‘ tftete. The court house, v jail jujd county infirmary are all adequate and wetf-ai* ranged for their use, and in their -present state will last the county for p. several years to come, and as much p -of this is due to good care, those in - charge and who have been in charge are entitled to share in the eulogies that are being paid to the public .officers. Adams county Is one of the beat counties in the state. Its soil t is the most fertile and productive and her citizens are the most enterprising and prosperous in the world. | Jofiftren t FOR FLETCHERS .CASTORIAJ

I*We election of Editor Oox of HartfordffiCity as the eleventh district member of the state committee pleashis long list of personal trends in this county. Besides all tirtf, Mr. Cox has a keen political eye and will make a valuable member of this important brapoh of our state organization. 5. Hon. Stokes Jackson seems to be lead as the next democratic state chairman, and having been at the head of the organization when the democrats won their last notable victory, there Is much to commend him for the place, and besides he Is one of the most uncompromising demoin the state. Hon. J. Fred France of Huntington wait Indorsed at their district meetclerk of the supreme court, as a matter of* fact, will have the solid backing the eleventh district in the next democratic state convention. Hon. J. Fred will likely have the backing of many more districts, as he is; a general favorite and Is known all over the state.

Slowly but surely j they are coming their own; . • ’. 11 11 | Mr. R. G. Tucker, the Indiana ywp. I resentative of the Cincinnati Enqujrr er, is being touted with some serious- i neqs as a candidate for secretary of 1 state before the next republican state i convention. Mr. Tucker is a mighty < clean and deserting i member hid < 1 has but few equals in the west, and i better than all this, he is on the 1 square. His party could not do a bet- i ter thing than to hand him the nomi- s nation In question without any con- 1 troversy. 1 IC-S "! EKOftKHsy 4 ! 1 ! The election of Hon. George T. j Beebe of Anderson, as district chair- ( pan for congressional dis- j trict, is of tee fact that ] the democrats are alive to the work ; of organization and that this year j they will sew up the game before their opponents Uhve time to collect teeir lost ammunition. Mr. i Beebe is a big, live democrat, with a ' j?ersiml and political record that is j ,worth- talking about, and will serve, j the district well at the head of the 1 organization. It is hardly necessary j to add that the democracy of Adams i county will lend a healthy and X a < hearty second to the efforts of the 1 district chairman, and that they will endeavor to make his work pleasant and successful. . i i - n k Congressman Adair is a-4>usy Indian in congress these days. He la busy teakjjjggfrpeeches against the rank extra’ragance of the national government, paying especial attention to system that strongly) .-. ../.A’',

border on graft, and is generally in terOsted in the people' against those' who waht something and seemingly i bE t I are unwilling to give anything la return. The Eighth district fitegressman is also busy in departmental affairs and gets for his district all that is. coming to them. In tert Congressman Adair admitted as being the best congressman teat eveF represented the Eighth ffiterict, and we are willing to admit teat be is the best that ever represented «nd district. ,s . . The personnel «f «hp members of the state committee' indteates clearly that there is going to be something doing in organization ‘circles during the coining campaign. They are all party wheel heroes of the brand that counts, and they will, overlook no bets when It comes to putting up the plays in the political game. The democrats this year have much to encourage them and much to look forward to. A victory this year means another United States eenator, a cedistricting of the state for congressional and legieialrivejmm^te»d9ie:elecreality future succom can only come by aun ited effort and success In tete year of our Lord nineteen tamtoed and tea.

This is as it should be. Jbr tee first time in mapy years and under the leadership of x Mr. Jackson tee democrats won their find notable victory and it was but right that he be chosen as the mascot for 1910, The meeting of the committee denoted harmony and it is a fact undisputed that the demoeratfr all over the'Vitete-ate-more nearly of one mind than they have been for years.; they propose to canty tee state, tee l&gißlat<|re; elect another United States sSnatOf and to do-all the big things that, is iftone in- politics. > It is the : ttie !for all democrats to be deifioctate gnd then these accomplishments wfif 'easy. ' ...j J' ( - ; y..' Cbngressmah Adair has again come to the defense of tee people by teallenging the saneness of the rank ef* travagance of the national govern l ment To prove ms position he shows that it costs nearly three hundred and fifty thousand dollars to pay the salary of the president and maintain tee white house.

Although we hear mute comPlatat 1» Indian, the hI«L rate of state taxation, a comparison of the rate with those of our,neighboring states would in- < tee moatß tetravagant state union after all. The rate of taxation for state’ purposes, in Indiana is - .3335 on the hundred dollars. The rate i|' Illinois is .50, Kentucky, M Michigan, 242, Ohte, • iiw,. M.-Ttae., If the same plan of valuation and taxation predominate in the states mentioned as that of this state, then the Lord should have mercy op their souls. When it is known that Adams county sends more money to Indianapolis for tee maintainance of the state government than is required for the payment of every item of expense connected with our county government, including the many thousands of dollars paid every year for bridges and their repair, then our readers will have some conception of what it costs to manage “not the most extravagant state in the union.’’ .:During the past dozen years it; has been the custom of the statesmen to multiply state extravagance until It': has reached the point of protest and to do ‘it: vigorously. Boards and commissions with high fluting salar|es: have been made upon ril teteakw' and at all times, other salaries have been increased and in all the state of; Indiana has been going sci merry clip. If she is hot “the most extravagant state in tee union” she is doubtless holding her own; pretty well,! and thereis room for improvement. There is room to practice economy without hindrance Gt tee service or in any way affecting the dignity of the state. The taxpayers should have an inning tn which their rights would be protected rank extravagance of the past. ; “I firmly believe that the year 1910, upon which we are. just entering, will badner year for democracy and that we will meet with ’.great success la tee.
