It is clear to the voters just what will happen in the event the democrats take over control of the national congress will/ come that uncertainty which is bred of demagogy and radicalism rampant Out of uncertainty is sure to comp business blight and famine. And that'is what the voters are up to at this time. This is one of the foremost reasons why republican voters are trying to put aside differences and form to attack the enemy. That is why personal ambitions are held so lightly at this time by the rank and file. That is why the search for good and_saneand capable leadership is being made at this time with such earnestness. The republican voter is disposed to be. tolerant, fair, careful and considerate. The leader who attempts to hold a position of intolerance or dogmatic dictation is not likely to get far with the voters. That is the plain truth, and plain truth Is what ip; needed today, and truth is what the voters demand. \

The ’ destruction of the protective principle in national affairs is a big danger, from the viewpoint of republicans. The application of a tariff-for-revenue only scheme, half-baked and poorly conceived, by any set of politicians, Is sure to bring disaster, just as it brought catastrophe in 1892. But beyond the national aspect of the campaign of 1912 is the state situation. The conditions in Indiana are worthy to be studied by all voters. Independents and Republicans especially are up in arms at this time. The more the case te studied, the more republicans come to the inevitable conclusion that careful, courageous "and wise tactics will put. the on the run. Democrats art at a big disadvantage this year. The democratic state administration is a rank fizzle. It is worse. The democratic state administration has been and is a surrender of power'and control to political bosses of the Steve Fleming type. And where the hand of Fleming is not engaged, the two busy hands ot Taggart are at work. \ ? X The result is bankruptcy in the state treasury; prostitution of state institutions for political purposes; largely increased expenses in all departments of the state management; new jobs, new commissions, new names on the state pay rolls; sinecures for Taggart henchmen and snaps for Fleming followers. Not. only have the Democrats entered oo a regime ofrtitravagance aqd misrale, but they have enacted legislation which in effect deprives a large population of its rights, and robs thousands of voters of a voice in vital affairs having to do with their own surroundings sad home lives. In this the democrats have placed themselves absolutely oa the defensive, and have opened the way to an alert opposition. Add to all this, the ridiculous, though dangerous and menacing attempt by a democratic governor and a democratic legislative caucus to re-write the state’s organic law, and there is pre-arranged for republicans the material for a line of attack which shall throw discomfiture and dismay into the camp of the democratic dictators who have misused their petty power in thifr last two or three years in such a flagrant manner az to disgust the thoughtful members of their own party. . ' * . ' The democrats may well take heed of such republican rallies as that held a short time ago at Rushville. That meeting was one where all men in the party were Invited to express themselves freeiyJ The result was a remarkable unity of opinion. The moat significant Bote, perhaps, was the spontaneous demand that republicans rally for Taft next year. Another significant thing emphasised, was the need for the education of the younger republicans and younger voters generally, in the, lessons taught by the dismal soup-period of 1898-1897.

YOUNG CHICKEN THIEVES CAPTURED BY POULTRYMAN.

r ; •' ■. . / OrgMlMd S.» K .t V.» S 5.7. B«. Been BaMlne Beeets and Selllan V i » OTIIIHS me miCKens In Itensseiner. I i•• ' *•' ’ 1 -At least five boys, all of excellent families, have for some time past been implicated in the organized theft of have plied their thieving habits for a longer time and possibly engaged in other crhrtinaLactions had it not been for the suspicions of B. S. Fendig and Chas. Stephenson, who works for him. The boys frequently brought chickens to the poultry yard for sale, and all claimed that they brought the chickens from’their home. Recently 'the parents of one of the boys bought a chicken at the poultry yprd, stating | that they did not raise any chickens. With this clew to work on, Mr. Stephenson did a little detective work. One of the boys brought some chickens to the yard Tuesday and in making ! change Mr. Stephenson purposely held | out 24 cents. When Mr. Fendig came ] to the yard, Charley told him what had 1 happened and suggested that he take the 24 cents to the boy’s father andj tell him it was money due the boy as on his chickens.

The boy's father was surprised and said, “Why, we have' no chickens.” He was then told that the boy had frequently sold some and he took the boy into quiet council and after a little third degree interrogating, the boy opened up and told how he and his accomplices had been working. The boys claimed to have done their stealing largely In daylight and just about roosting time for the chickens. They were all badly scared when they learned that their deeds had been discovered. Owing to the ages of the boys, from 12 to 15 years, they will not be prosecuted, but a careful watch will be kept of them and if they are found guilty <rf doing other bad things they will be arrested and an effort made to have them sent to the reform school. Part of the boys are guilty of clandestinely smoking cigarettes and pipes and their delinquency deserves the most careful attention of their parents, for if allowed to go unchecked they will turn out to be criminals. Their names will be kept a secret this time, but should any of them get into trouble again, the papers will not treat them so considerately.
