HEARTILY ENDORSES TAFT DO REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

State Association Praises Achievemeat of President and Pledges Loyal Support to Him.

There was great enthusiasm at the republican editorial association meeting Friday afternoon when the appended resolutions endorsing the administration of President Taft were passed. There was some speech making, one of the best addresses being by Robert Brown, editor of the Frankfort News, who says he has been shouting “Bully for Taft” for the past two years and intends to keep it up. He says that republican newspapers are not doing their duty by their country or their party who fail to point out every day that Taft is working for the good of all the people and standing firm for everything that is right. Harry New, Indiana’s member of ‘the national republican committee, attended the meeting, and talked about pary organization. He places the duty of educating the party members in confidence in the republican party and its possibilities and urged that they be set about to preach harmony, discussing those things on which they are agreed and leaving alone those measures upon which there is fractional thought. At the banquet Thursday night former Vice-President Fairbanks delivered a splendid address and gave out some good advice. He spoke of his tour of the world and of his confidence that the United States is gaining more and more the respect and admiration of all the world. He was roundly applauded when he said that any man or any newspaper devoted to an effort to undermine our faith in one another is a traitor and not deserving the confidence or esteem of any one. Former state chairman Goodrich made a fine speech and quoted for his guide the following passage from Jeremiah:

“Stand ye In the ways and see, and seek from the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein and ye shall find rest for your souls.” The meeting sparkled with the ofd time republicanism and there seemed a general belief that the party had been led estray during the last election.

The following resolutions were passed:

We endorse heartily and unreservl- - the patriotic and progressive administration of President William H. Taft, and pledge it to the loyal support of the Republican press of Indiana. No administration has been characterized by larger achievements for the common good in the consideration and settlement of questions vitally affecting the welfare of the American people. We note with gratification the increasing popular appreciation of the great work in which the President has been and is now engaged, and we predict that the administration will continue to grow in favor as the value of its service to the country is more fully developed. It requires for its complete vindication only a thorough dissemination of the facts, and to the accomplishment of the facts, and to the accomplishment of this end to the Republican newspapers df Indiana pledge their united efforts. We earnestly appeal to all the republicans of Indiana to rally with us on common ground to the support and defense of the splendid achievements and policies of the present administration. So united we may face with courage and confidence the campaign of 1912 in state and union.

We predict that before the close of the present Legislature the voters of Indiana will be anxiously awaiting the opportunity to return to power th j party that for twelve years conducted so wisely and well the affairs, of the state. Extravagance, offensive partisanship, and prostitution of the state’s penal, benevolent and charitable institutions to the base uses of a political machine have characterized the present state administration and represent a backward step in government, inconsistent with the progressive character of Indiana citizenship. The Democratic legislative majority, in the repeal of the county option law at the behest of the liquor Interests, and In defiance of the will of the people as clearly expressed in the several county option elections, has committed a political outrage on the voters of Indiana, for which it ought to, and we predict, be called to accountt

We deplore the tragic death of David Graham Phillips, journalist, author and among the foremost mefi of the day In literature. Today his memory Is being honored at his funeral service by the' literary world and his untimely death is generally mourned. Born and educated in Indiana, Mr. Phillips grew to success in newspaper work in America and Europe. He realized his ambition as an author and we deplore his death as a loss to the press as well as to the country. The resolutions committee was composed of W. H. Elliott, Newcastle; L. B. Braden, Greensbarg; George B. Lockwood, Marlon; Sam E. Boyes, Plymouth, and David H. Swain, Bluffton.

Big Towns In Dry Counties Plan Reinstating Saloons.

A dispatch from Whbash~ states that that city will be one of the first to undertake the reinstatement of saloons. Wabash county was the first in the state to vote dry under the county option law. The city gave a wet majority of -300, but the county went dry. The repeal of the county local option law was with the ho »e from the brewery interests that saloons would be again installed in cases of this kind.

There were nineteen saloons in Wabash prior to the election. This many will probably be required to keep Wabash oiled up afte. a few months, when men who had quit drinking get back*to the old habit again. backward step on the part of Indiana is a shame and it should prove a lasting disgrace to the democratic party, and to Tom Marshall, the governor who helped the thing along in every way he could. Marshall has certainly disappointed many people who thought he was at heart a temperance man, but it seems that his ambition for political advancement has caused him to prostitute his office to the brewery and saloon interests and we feel certain that many temperance democrats will regret that he has been instrumental in repealing a law that made much territory “dry” and in putting it in the “wet” column.

Hicks Predicts Many Storms For the Month of February.

Falling barometer, rising temperature and return of rain, sleet and snow may be expected on and touching the 2nd and 3rd, quickly followed by sleet, freeze and blizzard. A cold wave will dominate most parts of the country from the 4th to the 7th. A regular storm period covers the 6th to the 10th. These conditions will grow into active storms of rain, turning to sleet and snow, as they pass, progressively from west to east. Change to fair and very cold weather will follow promptly in the rear of these storms, being pushed eastward and south by an energetic, high barometer.

A reactionary storm period recurs from the 13th to 16th, beginning with a full moon on the 13th, and ending with the moon’s passage to the celestial equator on the 16th, bringing storms of tropical nature, after several days of threatening weather, all ending in violent change to colder weathei*. ,

A regular storm period is indicated from the 17th to the 21st. The reactionary period just preceeding this regular period will leave little or nft time between the two for fair, open weather, so that by the 18th the oncoming of rain and snow storms in the West will be in progress. The Mars influence will be dominant at this time, and the character of storms and weather prevailing at this period may be regarded as indicating the kind of storms and weather to be expected generally through the month of March. We figure that the weather will be rough and wintery, continuing after that manner well through the month of March. Behind rain and snow storms, which will probably pass eastwardly over the country about the 19th, 20th and 21st, look for rapid rise of the barometer, attended by a wicked cold wave. A reactionary storm period, central on the 24th, 25th and 26th, will bring cloudiness.

A seismic period, central on the 28th, covers the 26th to March sth. Note reports of earthquakes in current news at this time. We. do not think it possible for the Mars influence to bring summerlike weather this February, but such pranks are sometimes played by this war and weather god. We advise to the contrary—be on the watch for winter storm and weather.

Jordan Dramatic Company Pleased Friday Night Audience.

The Jordan Dramatic Co., which has the Miabel theatre in Chicago leased, and which has arranged to play in a circuit in northwestern Indiana five days each week, gave its first performance at the Ellis theatre Friday night when they presented in a very pleasing manner the beautiful western drama, "Under Arizona Skies.” The audience was more than delighted, pronouncing it the best company that has visited Rensselaer for many months. Every member of the cast was an able actor and it is pleasing to annoupce that they are to return to Rensselaer next Friday night, when they will produce "A Man of Mystery.”

As predicted by The Republican when the first announcement was made that the Jordan Dramatic Co. was coming, the show was a great hit and well worth the money. In fact. It is a better show than you can see in Chicago for *I.OO. Seats for next Friday night’s show should be reserved early as a packed house la quite certain In view of the big hit made last night.
