Republican Success Forecasted In State of New York.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading progressive paper of the middle west, is astute enough to read the signs of the times and frank enough to publisih the truth in its news columns. In a letter from New York recently by one of its staff correspondents was the following: “It is almost Inevitable that the republican party will come back to power in New York state next fall. Four years of democratic misrule has disgusted the electorate of New York state. “A prominent democratic politician has estimated the New York vote as being 40 per cent republican, 30 per cent democratic, 20 per cent progressive and 10 per cent independent. In recent years the republicans have not been able to register even their party vote, which accounts for the democratic victories. The coming year, however, it is. expected that tjie republicans will poll their Whole vote and the vote of the independents. as well." In the same letter is the following bold assertion: ‘The progressive party has produced no figures of national calibre, excepting Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,”

SUSPECTS ALL JAILED BYVIGILANT POLICE

Information That Crooks Accompanied Show Proved Ample Warning for Rensselaer. Marshal Shesler followed a plan on circus day that we believe will receive the approval of all otf our citizens and his action was doubtless responsible tor the fact that there was not a robbery committed during the day or night. The marshal of Roachdale had sent a warning to the effect that burglars and crooks preceded the show and that at Roachdale and other places stores 'had been robbed. He told what make of clothing had been stolen and gave descriptions that would have resulted in the airrest of the burglars (had they shown up here. Marshal Shesler and Night Watch Critser got busy Tuesday evening and gave every stranger the “once over,” but no’ suspicious characters were seen. Upon the arrival of the show, however, (there were a number of suspects about town and Marshal Shiesfler, with special officers Billy Parks, Elmer iGwin and Peter .McDaniel put in a busy day and* when evening came they had six underworld fellows in the county jail. Three were white men and three were negroes. To the credit of the show management, be it said, that they gave every possible assistance to the officers and the men who were jailed were all- declared to have no connection with the circus. They were all without money and could not give any good reason why they were traveling about. The three white men were rounded up at the match factory, which is the haven of the Weary Willies. The six men were kept in jail over night and shown the way out of town the tollowing morning and informed that it they were caught in town they would be put to work on the rOck pile None of them doubted the marshal’s word and their fear of Work caused them to “beat it” out of town. (Marshal Shesler seems to have handled the show menace in very commendable style and it was far better to have jailed the suspects and thus issued a warning to all crooks than to have taken a chance on them Committing some act that might have caused them to remain boarders at the jail for a long time. The only incident of crooked dealing at the show ground occurred in the afternoon. Judson Michal met a man who wanted paper money tor some* change. Jud accommodated • him, giving him three one dollar bills and one two dollar bill, $5 in all, and taking change in return. He counted the change and found that he had re> eeived only $2.90. He reported the incident to Marshal Shesler and offered to point out the short change artist He found him in the animal tent and the fellow made a weak protest and then forked over the $2.10 balance. James Warner lost his watch, but believes he dropped it while running and does hot think it was stolen. A purse containing some money and which the owner can probably readily identify, awaits the owner at this office. Tt was picked up by Carl H. Sternberg, the dredge ditcher. The circus day passed off very pleasantly. The crowd was not so large as It usually is tor the big circuses, but the show was a very creditable one and those who saw it enjoyed it very much. The side show did a big business and was as “Xakey” as most sideshows, while a hooehy-coochy dance, which the barker announced would be “760 per cent hotter than tobacco sauce,” adding confidentially, fia word to the Wise is sufficient” and it was Sufficient to the “unwise” who made their quatrers rattle on the ticket sellers’ desk like bricks on a tin root The hoodhle coochie is said to have been after the pattern off the “Streets of Cairo” at the World’s Fair in 1893, and at least “760 degrees” more disgusting than it was hot The show had about a twothirds crowd both afternoon and night, but the manager stated that he was well phased.

A. B. 0. Class in Mediation,

The American public apparently cates very little albout the work of mediation at present being undertaken by Argentine, Brazil and Chili between the United States and Huerta. Since there is to be no fighting the American public has lost its interest. It doesn’t care much what the A. B. C. mediators do. The reason why there is so little interest is because the public well understands that a mediation, aiward either for or against us fn the Case off Huerta would mean very little. Dealing with Huerta is a good deal like attempting to negotiate with a shifting sand dune or a column otf smoke. But otf one thing the public is certain, and that is, in spite otf what the mediators may do or say, no one in the United States expects any mediation award to the hurt of this nation.

If, however, Mexico were a powerful nation and in ft position to do us harm if it chose, it is not likely that we should be so indifferent in the matter as we now are. Suppose the present effort at mediation concerned a matter in which our national welfare actually were in jeopardy, if such were the ease the present apathy would not exist as to the outcome Suppose, also, our national welfate were actually at stake—if such were the ease, do you suppose that the American public would be Satisfied with Argentine, Brazil and Chill as mediators? Not for a minute Even as it is, the situation is not far removed from boy’s play. When we think of these puny nations, but a few short years, at best, out off semi-eiviliz&tfon, attempting to run the affairs otf Uncle Sam, the situation seems almost ridiculous.

GETTING TOGETHER

The primary election returns from Marion county are interesting and they are significant. Indianapolis is the home otf Senator Beveridge who is recognized as one of the leaders otf the progressive party faction which holds that a new party was born in the campaign of 1912. In the election of that year the progressives of Marlon county, who had but a single purpose at that time outnumbered the republicans who remained with the organization and voted for Taft. But it is quite evident that a large number of those who counted themselves progressives at that time did not surrender their title as republicans. Tuesday’s primary election in Marion county demonstrated that the republican party is getting in condition again. There was much commonplace, ordinary and practical politics in the Mairion county primary election of last Tuesday. The democrats contributed the greatest enthusiasm, for warring factions of democrats were engaged in a struggle over the patronage. The republicans offered clean men for office and trusted to the good judgment of the voters. The progressives gave all their energy to a desire that sought a better Showing than that otf the republicans. And the result shows that the republicans east over three votes to every one cast for the progressive candidates. There is nothing surprising to this showing. It is in line with every election that has been held since 1912. Republicans who filed their .protest in 1912 did so, not for the puprose of wrecking the republican party, but in the hope otf improving its organization. It is quite evident now that republicans who filed the protest in 1912 are republicans Still and that the party is getting together with renewed strength.
