E. K. Koons, of Union who has always been .a democrat and has never voted any other ticket, says that he would not vote for Tom . Marshall for dog pelter. This statement was made because Marshall had signed the new law that will make “dry" territory "wet" and reinstate thousands of saloons in the state. Mr. 'Koons is like many other sincere temperance democrats who were led to believe that their candidate was at heart a temperance man and who have learned that they were tricked into supporting a man who is dally playing right into the hands of the saloon interests. But Tom Marshall will hardly be a candidate for anything again. The rope he is using will get in its purpose before long. To feel strong, have good appetite and digestion, sleep soundly and enjoy life, use Burdock Blood Bitters, the great system tonic and builder. - ' •.

ELEVEN INDICTMENTS BY THE GRAND JURY.

Filed In Blank and No Information as Tq Whom They are Against—- ‘ Warrants to the Sheriff. The grand jury adjourned this Saturday afternoon after filing eleven indictments with the court. They are in blank and the nature of them will not become known before the warrants are served. These will be placed in the hands of the sheriff, probably this evening, so that he can do a little scouting about Sunday. The grand jury visited the county farm this forenoon. The Republican has heard a rumor that seven or eight of the eleven indictments are against alleged violators of the liquor laws. One is said to be against John Colton, who is held in jail on a charge preferred by Remington boys. The indictment is said to allege assault and battery and not '‘sodomy. While there are a limited number of indictments, it is alleged that a lot of fellows were badly frightened and they wiil not be entirely self-composed until the last of the warrants are served.

Governor’s Ego Suggests New Constitution for Indiana.

Lafayette Journal. Governor Marshall’s proposed constitution fox'the state of Indiana is a political farce. If the governor possessed a greater sense of humor it might be suspected that he offers the constitution as a joke. He is charged with amending the constitution in order that the present legislature may have an excuse for not doing the things it promised to do. But it is easier to explain the governor’s action on the hypothesis that he is suffering from an attack of exaggerated ego, and that he considers himself a maker of constitutions. The suggestion that Indiana adopt a new constitution, prepared by Tom Marshall and ratified by a bunch of democratic politicians, who owe their political existence to a defense of the saloon, is a choice bit of folly. After revising the constitution Mr. Marshall called a few leading democratic politicians into conference and had the draft endorsed. We are delighted to know that Tom Taggart looked upon the governor’s suggestions a# timely and as well supported by political conditions. After a chosen few had approved the draft, the democratic members of the legislature were allowed to listen to the recommendation and permitted to add their endorsement to Tom Marshall’s proposal. A democratic legislature is expected to adopt the amended constitution and put the Tom Marshall constitution to a vote of the people. Indiana must be in a sorry plight if the making of a constitution rests with one man and needs only the endorsement of g few democratic politicians. A constitution is organic law; it rests with the people and not with some inflated office-holder, nor is it dependent on the approval of a few professional party workers. If Indiana needs a new constitution the making of it should be left with the , people—it should be drawn regardless of party politics' Governor Marshall suggests that he is of greater wisdom than the people of Indiana.

It is probable that the mind of the auditor is already made up along this line.

Grand Jury Should Go Into Everything to the Very Bottom.

The Jasper County Democrat, which always deals in contemptible and slurring inuendoß, says that “for the benefit of the newspaper fraternity it is hoped that the grand jury does not delve too deeply into the poker playing fraternity.” It would place the newspapers, especially the democratic newspapers, into a peculiar and embarrassing position if they were required to publish the names of prominent democrats in connection with poker games, and this position doubtless appeals at this time very closely to the Democrat for reasons that are so cogent it is not necessa/y to mention them. But grand juries do not take into regard the feelings of either newspapers or individuals, be they officeholders or private citizens, in investigating criminal practices and for the sake of the newspaper fraternity and all others, the investigation should be thorough and go to the very bottom of the alleged offenses. A lazy liver leads to chronic dyspepsia and constipation—weakens the whole system. Doan's Regulets (25 cents per box) correct the liver, tone the stomach, cure constipation.

Editor Lockwood Asks Question “Who Is to Blame for Crime?"

Editor George B. Lockwood, of the Marion Chronicle, is a recent speech, put the locpl option question before his listeners in the following forceful way: - , - Mr. Lockwood related his experience a few years ago when he met with the board of pardons to consider the pajdon appeal of a nineteen-year-old boy. He said that the yonng man’s appearance showed from the beginning he belonged to the type that cannot be trusted and set free to prey ou society. But when his story was heard it was not wondered at. He was illegitimately born in a county house, lived above a saloon and was never taught anything but to lie, swear, cheat and steal- His associates in early life were the hangers-on about the saloon and in, the brothel. After telling the story the young man exclaimed in bitterness. “Who is to blame for what I am?" That question rang Into the mind of Mr. Lockwood long after he left the meeting. “No. The boy was not to blame. It Is the man who votes to make it possible to have saloons. You will be to blame if you vote to allow the saloon." Calling cards at the Republican.
