DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. That good men can honestly (llff 1 i in opinion all sane men will allow. Only the partisan and the man wit.i doubtful motives is sure that he an 1 his belief is right and all oppose 1 corrupt and dishonest. The temperance man, is not a friend of temperance who carries the movement int ) politics. As we have said. Democrats wlio were for temperance now stan 1 by the county option bill. They feared some features of it. but now that it has passed, they do not propose t > repeal it till it has showed that it will not accomplish the things promised by its supporters If it does accomplish this it will continue ;o stand. And yet. in spite of this, the fight goes on as a purely politic:! 1 measure. The Anti-Saloon League and the Republican party have joined hands in this fight, and each insiots on calling the statements mad’’ by honest Democrats lies. Each insists In making unjust attacks on honest temperance Democrats. W • sa_v the League has joined hands >vith the Republican party, for w • can see no way In which the League efforts in this county differ from tin ways of the Republican party, e:: cept that tUe league is secret an i covert, while most of the Republic.! i work Is open. Let the League r* - member that honest Prohibitionists, certainly as good temperance men as thoec of the League, do not approve of the 1)111 just passed nor of Governor Manly. The candidate for president on the Prohibition tiokc sahl recently In a speech at Seymour as follows, as reported by the Seymour Republican, a paper of th ■ same politics as its name: “He even spoke quite harshly of Governor Manly who is praised by n v in Indiana. Me opposes eount al option and that too is cornled by temp'ranee members of Republican party in tills stain a «• II as temperance people In oth r pa. ties as being a wise measure from the stand; '' •it of temperance.’’ Ve call attention to lids as denotthat honest men may differ as to methods. That these men. bo denounced and attacked by the League, may he for temperance, and an attack upon them may do more harm to the cause than any good that may result from intimidating others i that they will in the future more readily do the behest of the League. The movement looks to many like good Republican politics, but very poor temperance work.

SHAKING DO ,-J THE TRUSTS. Chas. C. Dawes Visits Wall Street and Promises Republican Party Will Be Good. Under New York date line of Sept. 19 the daily papers of country publish a dispatch from which the following Is taken: “The visit of Charles O. Dawes, of Chicago (formerly Comptroller of the Currency), had more inlluenco than anything else In arousing Wall street uneasiness. Mr Dawes came to New York primarily to raise money for the Republican congressional campaign committee, and he gave the people he called upon very clearly to understand that the Republican majority In the house is in danger. “Wall street has steeled Itself against the Importunities of political canvassers for funds, but Mr. Dawes’ visit was uiii|tii llonably Impressive. The people who saw and heard him were convince*! that Ipe really meant what he said when he announced that unless means were taken to arrest the current and change the situation the Democrats would swing into control of the popular branch of congress and probably elect a president. Mr Dawes did not confine his visit alone to bankers and financiers. He devoted a good share of his attention to leading representatives of the manufacturing Interests. He carried away some money, hut not nearly as much as ho had hoped for."

How Union Men Will Vote. The following from the Cincinnat I Enquirer concerning the straw vote, which that paper is taking, shows how the union mep of Taft s own citv J will vote; On Tuesday evening. October o, | one of the canvassers taking The En- j quirer straw vote tried to secure the , sentiment of the delegates to the i Central Labor Council. Owing to the j pressure of business that evening .t | was impossible to get the matter properly before the Council before its adjournment, and in the ‘•breakaway’’ the votes of a few only of the delegates were secured and later it was found that a few persons who were not delegates hail voted. At the session last evening the matter came up for discussion, some of the delegates claiming it placed the Council in a false li^ht as to the read political sentiment prevailing among the delegates, and a demand was made for a full and complete vote of those present. It was decilcd to dispense entirely with the printed ballot of the Enquirer and to take a standing vote of all the delegates present, the ballot so taken *o ho recorded in lieu of that announced in the Enquirer a week ago today. The vote on the national tiek°t was announced by President Miller as follows: Bryan, .': Taft 1: Debs. 7. and on the state ticket: Harris, none. Harmon, fin: Socialist, 4. No votes were given to any of the other candidates on either the national or state tickets, and the delegates ,1 ■- dined to state how they had voted four years ago. There are nearly 100 trades unions amr tabor organizations represented In the Central Labor Council of Cincinnati, making It the largest delegate body of craft - men in the state. The basis of representation is five delegates from each union, but each union generalh elects only two or sometimes thre*. so that the actual membership is about. 200, amt the usual atteiidane> is ahout ion. -Cincinnati Enquire:-.

The Republicans of Indiana who will do all in their power to currv favor with the saloon vote, while Governor Hanly is preaching temiierance, are in a nice position to insist that a Democrat should vote with them on the temperance question! — Roikville Tribune.

Farley Not nit Officer. W. B. Parley who is being adve •- tised b” the Republican campaign comm’ to speak at the Majestic tin morrow evening as a re.>regi c of organized labor, is not connected In any way with any labor organization. Fairley was formerly National Board Member ' the United Mine Workers for the Alabama district, but there is no organization In l hat state now, and he is not no v connected with any union organization in any official capacity. A statement was made to this effect. in the Indianapolis News tonight by President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of \merica. The R.publican committee lias been caught red-handed trying to >1 ‘reive the people by passing FairR off as a re"resentatlve of the United Mine Workers. President Golden, of the Fniied Mine Workers of District s, stated this morning that Fairley was no longer an officer In the United Min * Workers and that the Republican committee was trying to deceive the people in representing him as such. The fact that the bills were sent here advertising the Fairley meeting did not bear the union label is further proof that Fairley Is not a re;.resentatlve of ifhior labor, but Is simply In the pay of the Republican National committee trying to deceive the workingmen of the country and Induce them to vote for Taft and Watson, the enemies of labor. Brazil Demoerat.

Every time the Republicans attempt to deceive the people on a moral issue something in their devious record turns up to show the inconsistency of their party. Just now Governor Manly is going over the State fairly preaching a gospel of temperance. It is a well known fact that ho has been a frequent guest at the Columbia Club, the wealthy Republican organization it Indianapolis, where whisky and beer are sold and drunk every day and night in the week. Including Sundays. It is equally well known that Ed Ballard, a Republican of prominence lias been running a gambling resort at West Baden within a half mile of the French Lick carlno, of which the Governor had so much to say two years ago and since. Back when Levi P. Morton was V’ice-Presi-dent. of the United Stale-, the Republicans undertook one of their pc' - iodical temperance bunkos, and ran up against the proposition that the Vice-President was the actual pro-

niessiige. 1 shall get you to come down | tween the writer of this letter and

to discus, certain government matters

not connected with the campaign. From Edward H. Harrimau’s confidential statement to Sidney Webster. About a week before the election in the autumn of JbOl, when It looked certain that the state ticket would go Democratic and was doubtful as to Roosevelt himself, lie. the president, sent me a request to go to Washington lo confer upon the i«)litical condition, in New dork state. I compiled, and he told me lie understood the cumpu.gn could not bo successfully carried on without KUtllricnt money and asked if 1 could help them in raising the necessnrj funds as the national committee. under control of Chairman Cortelyou, hud utterly failed of obtaining them, and there was a large amount due from them to the New York stale committee. We talked over what could be done for I to pew, and finally he agreed that if found necessary he would appoint him as ambassador to Paris. With full belief that he, the president, would keep hi, agreement, 1 came back to New York, sent for rrea,tirer Rlis.,. who told in** that l was their last hope and that they had exhausted every other resource. in his pre-cn r I called up an intimate friend of Senator Iiepew. told him that it was necessary in order m carry New York state Hint JEHaM**) should lie raised al once, and if lie would help I would subscribe sbo.isM. After a few words over the telephone the gentleman - tid be would let me know, which he did probably in three or four hours, with the result that the whole amount, including my subscript ion, hud lieen raised. The cheek, were given to Treasurer Bliss, who took them to (’lialruian Cortelyou. If there were any among them of life in urunee companies, or anj other hke organizations, of course i ortelyou must have Informed the president. I do not know who the subscribers were, other than the friend of Iiepew, who was an IndU vidual. This amount enabled the New York state committee to continue Its work, with the result that at b ast TO,(Mlf) votes were turned In the city of New York alone, making a difference of IUO.'shi von *■ in the general result.

DAWES FOR GUARANTEE

Comptroller ol Currency Under McKinley Favored linmranee of Hank l>e|M)sits. Charles imwcn was comptroller of Ibe currency under Mr. McKinley, Since 1 inrj b ■ has been president of the Central Trust company at Chicago. Writing in The Public. Louis F. Post culls attention to the fact that several years ago Mr. Dawes wrote a book entitled "The Banking System of the United States." The following is taken from Mr. Post’s article: In describing in that book the "present need of our national banking system," Mr. Dawes distinctly argues for the iusurnn >■ idea that Bryan advocated in congress and upon which his campaign D now advancing in the west. Referring to a proposed law, advocated by Bryan in congress, which would have levied a tux upon national hunks for the purpose of erect.ng a fund for the Insurance of deposits, Mr. Dawes wrote: “National banking statistics show that a fund o’, the necessary amount would soon he ••rented by a comparatively small tax upon each national bunk. "• * * It must certainly lie admitted (hat Mi“ establishment of such a fund would Lave a tendency to prevent the mad rushes of small and large depositors during times of panic, for money which they hoard away in safety deposit boxes or other hiding places. “• * * If the effect of such a law would be in render bank deposits more stabl * Milder aII conditions, as la our Judgment would be tile ease, no law could be of more vane anil importance to the debtor, or to Hie creditor. or to Hie community at large. * * • Besides the gi**at Importance of the law, as reluieil to the general prosperity of the country. It is meritorious as preventing tin* keen suffering in those localities where bank fail tires occur, nud where the hard earned savings of the community, under our present laws, are often swept away. By such a law, losses are distributed ns by insurance, tin* beneficial effects of which need no argument.

yourself, you took occasion to deplore the fact that politics had ever entered the fight in the First Ward of the City of Greeneastle, and assured me that could the league have* begun the fight there against the saloons It would by its superior method have prevented such a disaster, and could, no doubt, have secured a remonstrance that would have put the saloons out. You pointed with pride to the result accomplished in Frank lin Township, and took great credit for the superior method the league had used there, and spoke of it in comparison with a fight that ban been had on the question near I^idoga in which some people became so embittered that they would not speak to each other after the fight

was over.

As I understand, the League championed the County Option measure recently made a law, and should therefore he interested in seeing th;; t [ this law has a fair chance to become effective for temperance In every county in th State of Indiana. '» fact it should become It’s duty to do everything In it’s power to mal e conditions such that the question when it conies to ho voted on by th" people, should have a fair chance and not mixed with politics. This should be that it may be settled on it’s merits alone. In this county there is considerable speculation among thinking men as to whether the county will go w *t or dry under this law. Personally 1 have felt that the county would go dry, and expected the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana to show us, by “some superior method,” how to keep the question out of politics and make the right win solely on its merits and because it. is right. But now you are dragging the whole question in politics and entering into our political campaign with a circular letter attacking the regular nominee of the Democratic party the dominating party of this countv, not for the purpose of putting Pur11 am County In the temperance column, but for the avowed purpose of defeating Mr. Hostetler, who, until he cast one vote on one question had as you say In your letter ‘‘voted right on every proposition” and for the purpose of electing Mr. Lane because, as you say, “he has promise,! to support our temperance measures, and his word Is as good as gold.” I do not know hy what “superior method” you arrived at. the conclusi°n that Mr. Hostetler voted as he did because of a mistaken idea that he would be helping out Mr. Marshall In his race for governor. Personally I do not believe Mr. Hostetler would have done right had he voted against the measure solely becaus" the Democratic party had adopted a plank in their platform that proposed a different temperance measure, nor solely because the Democrats as a majority in the house and senate were voting against it. I am strongly of the opinion that no man ever lias a moral right to cast a ballot against a good measure, or for a had measure, because of the immediate political situation out of which it may have sprung. That it is the duty of every legislator to vote first for the measure that is right, and second for the measure that will benefit the people as a whole that he represents, if in his best judgment it is a just measure to all the people. But I understand that Mr. Hostetler declined to vote for the county option measure because he did not think it w'.'is the best temperance measure and would give the relief promised In it’s name to the people that he represented, and for the further reason that It was adding nn unnecessary expense of election to the people of his county, where the saloons were few in number and r"-

another to cast a ballot for that which he deems to he bad, even though he cannot agree with the position taken. Only a vote under this law can decide whether this is a wise measure or not. If Putnam County goes dry under this law. then the effectiveness of the law is proven and Mr. Hostetler was mistaken in his Judgment of the measure, if it goes wet, then Mr. Hostetler was right, and the law is ineffective for this county and Mr. Hostetler di 1 right in voting against the bill. But what are you doing to help

this county to go dry?

Is the “superior method of keeping the question out of politics” as indicated in your circular letter a.i aid? Do you think that this question can now come up and be decided on it’s merits alone, after giving the thinking people of this county a sample of inductive reasoning that reaches a conclusion on one example, and asking men to act on that one act as a basis to justify them in taking a step that leads to confusion. Please do not misunderstand ni". I am not preparing an indictment against you. I understand perfectly that any organization seeking th* moral uplift of the people may enter politics and play the game up to and including the nominating conventloi . and still be able to say that it Is nM doing political work for a pecuniary reward or the hope thereof. But if it go beyond the point of the nominating convention it becomes subject to the cretinisms that may be thrown against any other political organization, and may safely be measured by the same standards. But T am not doing this with the Anti-Saloon League, and I do not believe that my old friend Whlteneck is a person that could by any means be made a tool to execute any base purpose. But, if the Republican party (as I have sometimes thought) Is a great Oetapus reaching out with its mane arms in every direction and drawing in and devouring unsuspecting victims And if the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana is one of those arms, (as it is if it permits itself to be controlled in any sense by the present Republican candidate for
