September 22— The Second Day of Fall

As is usual at critical times many

people

act unwisely. That the pres­

ent is a critical time in politics no one can deny. The Republican party which has been in ascendency in the United States for almost fifty years is passing through the most critical period in its history. One of the cardinal characteristics of the party in the past has been its unity in organization and action. This characteristic has enabled it to be a most effective force in the affairs of the United Slates. No party has ever existed that has accomplished so much. Is it usefullness ended? 13 there any other party which is more entitled to the confidence of tin-* people at this time than the Republican party? These are questions which 3hould be considered by the voters before the next election. Of the six congressional elections held in Republican districts recently four have elected Democratic Congressmen. That would indidate that the trend of sentiment was toward the Democratic party. Whether it is a real trend to wards Democracy or simply intended as a rebuke to the Republican party i9 a matter yet to be determined. Many Republicans have been discontented with the general attitute of their party for several years, and some leaders have been atteinpting to secure certain legislation which tbey insisted was needed, and which they claimed was in the line of reform. In their attempts they insiat that they ^have not been fairly treated, and they have appealed their case from the floor of congress to the con volitions and the primaries of their districts and states. The men that can not see how the people of the country are thinking is "stone'' blind. The con­

tention so far has been largely between the different elements of the party, but the antagonism has become so strong that in many cases it seems each element would rather see the Democratic party in power than to see the other faction of their party successful. Such are the conditions which result when selfish ends sought to the exclusion of the general good. Such actions are unwise. There never was a time when there was greater occasion for careful and discreet action in politics than now. It is a good time to council together and let the advice of honest, unselfish men control. Party organization is all rig\it. It is the acknowledged effective means to political results, but parties must be controlled in the interest of the public good. No one should desire to see his party succeed in wrong. Every individual should use his influence within his party for the betterment of that party and the public good. The voters are more critical than ever before. Men and parties have more occasion to be careful now than at any other period in countries history. They must be right or go down in defeat.

The hysteria of a political reform is not nearly so dangerous oftentimes as stagnation and lethargy incident to selfish and corrupt use of political power. In view of the past remarkable history of our people's government, every insinuation against the ultimate wisdom of the masses, made by public men, should be resented by the people retiring such men to private ranks. We believe in the people of the country and their ability to determine all questions right. Jefferson believed in them, Lincoln believed in them, and Roosevelt believes in them.

Hancock county has a wonderful crop of corn. The only danger threatening it at this time is that being so green, an early frost may damage it. If the weather should continue favorable for two weeks the most of the corn would be safe from damage from frost.

Seven weeks from tomorrow the election will occur. So far there has been no speaking campaign. Everything indicates a quiet campaign, but the election results will be watched for with intense interest. Everybody will be anxions to learn what the results are from an election in which the people have been imbued with party independence as never before.

This year's record of the State fair is the best ever made by the State Board of Agriculture. Every feature of the great exhibit surpassed anything in the past. The State fair is an institution in which every citizen should take pride. Greenfield should be especially proud of it, for to the efforts of a Greenfield citizen more than to any other man the great progress in the State fair and its popularity and success is due. Charles Downing is the greatest State fair man in the United States.

Notwithstanding the wide-spread political discontent which now prevails, there is no occasion for any one to conclude that party power in politics is forever gone. Party supremacy may be less secure in the future than in the past, but party control will continue. Party is simply a name for necessary organization. New organizations have frequently sprung up, and they will probably continue to do so, but the Democratic and Republican parties are almost sure to be the dominating party organizations in this country. Two better names could not be selected. At this exceedingly interesting time in politics it looks like there might be some radical changes in party leadership, and that some of the party policies and principles might be materially changed, but the two old parties with modifications and some new alignments will control the legislation of the United States for years to come. The only thing that can prevent that control, will be the parties themselves. The masses of the people are attached to them and are reluctant to break away. If the old parties will cease factional strife, and square away along lines which the masses of the people are demanding, they will find that they are approved by the same old trustworthy common people who have been right in all the critical periods of our country's history.

URNS AGAINST THOMAS TAGGART

Well-Known Osmocrat Offers Aid To icans.

QUIT REACTIONARY CROWD

George W. Thompson, Attorney and Lecturer of Wide Reputation Places Himself at Service of Republican

State Committee—Henceforth To

Stand With Republicans for Progress and Good Government.

George W. Thompson, eminent lecturer and successful lawyer, has left the Democratic party, and will make speeches under the auspices of the Republican state central committee in Indiana.

Mr. Thompson is a resident of Indianapolis. He formerly lived at Marion, Ind., where he was a Democratic leader. The Democrats of Grant county for years counted Mr. Thompson as one of their strong and forceful speakers and organizers. He was placed on their party ticket repeatedly.

In 1906 Mr. Thompson was picked by Democratic leaders of the Eleventh Indiana district to be the Democratic candidate for congress. He declined to go on the ticket. "At that time," says Mr. Thompson, "I was thinking very seriously of quitting the Democratic organization, and had fully decided to get out of politics. "I am tired of Taggartism. I refuse to stand for boss methods any longer. So I propose to leave the Democratic organization as it is now controlled, and freely join my fortunes with the Republican party. I expect to stay with' the Republicans so long as they steer the right course. I hope never again to part company with the Republicans. "For the last eight years I have been thinking of changing my political affiliations. I was raised a Democrat. My family is made up of Democrats. It was not easy to quit the old associations. But ever since I arrived at man's estate and achieved independence in business, I have been thinking for myself, and working out a course of action. I have found that the Republican party offers to the independent thinker the things most worth while. "I have decided that Taggartism i^ not compatible*with the best political living and conduct. I have severed with the Democratic organization quietly. I am out of the game. I seek nothing. I am glad to be able to help the Republican cause. My voice will be lifted for the progressive policies of the Republican party from this tim? on."

George W. Thompson is well known all over the state. His famous lec ture, "The Trial of Jesus,v From a Legal Standpoint" is familiar to the people. Mr. Thompson is in great demand as a lecturer. His services on the stump will be highly appreciated by Republicans.

Indiana people are not ready to barter away prosperity for uncertainty.

The Republican party makes an earnest, honest and intelligent effort to be right. The Democratic party opposes what the Republican party does. That is why the Democratic party is more often wrong than right.

If the record is desired to prove what Senator Beveridge has done for labor, it is not difficult to find, nor is it hard to read. Labor'men of Indiana are sending the record abroad so that all the voters many scan it and be governed according to their idea of justice and right.

As The

World Revolves

Every season of the year has its compensations to offset its drawbacks. It has been a little dour and cool the last day or so, but still there has been sunshine aplenty for those who would let itjn. Travel back in fancy and call up the pleasures of youthful days and see if very many of them are not still lying around about you all unnoticed and neglected. The schools never open in the fall but that the hurrying of the youngsters through the streets, their unfeigned seriousness of purpose as they buy and critically examine their school supplies and all the other manifestations of the youngsters, common to us all, no doubt, since schools first began, may serve to call us all back in fancy, if we will but go, to the autumn cheer of other days now almost down behind the horizon. It may have been dour and cold outside in the early fall days of other years, but don't you remember how, darkness shutting down early, you left off after-school play and came in the house with mother. Then, coming in from the autumn dusk, you went into the kitchen with mother and shared its light and warmth only with her, unless, perhaps, there was an "Elzabeth Ann" about who was, after all, a paid friend of the family more than she was a servant. Even with her brandiest, spandiest apron on she never was the "maid." And don't you remember how welcome you were in the kitchen those days? The big stove in the front of the house had not been started, and how cheery the light and heat from the old kitchen stove, inside which good dry oak cracked, snapped and cheerily biazed, showing merrily through those little square doors of the front draft The tea-ket-tle hummed merrily and a delicious odor went

vup

from the

cooking food on the stove. Maybe something was cooking you especially liked, and you watched it solicitiously as you went on with your chatter. Don't you remember

you

asked mother

why she turned the canned peaches upside down for a while before putting them away in the cellar. (And then you explored the great stone crock, filled to the brim, and

you

surreptitious­

ly extracted a morsel, and mother scolded in her dear old way which you knew she didn't mean. She was, at heart, really glad you were at the 'serves. It was really a compliment to mother. And then you talked and talked and talked about school. Mother asked all about the new teacher and you got out your new school books and showed where to-morrow's lesson in the geography was to be, and you asked Elizabeth Ann if the world were entirely round, and when she said it was, 'how you derided her with the fact of it being some flattened at the poles. Then later, if you were lucky and had not lost yours, your father would come in all tired, and, perhaps, grimy, but cheery withall, glad to share in the home kitchen scene. And if it were not a father to come of course it was a grandfather, or, maybe, an uncle, and how happy you all were together in the kitchen firelight and kitchen lamplight. And when mother made concession that all might eat in the kitchen that one night, because the dining room was too cold, your happiness was completed. Whenever it is dour and cold there is sunshine aplenty in the memory of a warm, lighted kitchen of an evening in the early days of fall.

Most assuredly, women are making great strides except those who wear hobble skirts. It looks like it will keep raining until summer realizes that it can't have its 90 in the shade any longer.

Children's Corner

Edited by Minnie L. Houck, Shirley, Ind.

along time iu the land of Egypt and they became so strong and great in number that the new king was afraid of them so he commanded all the baby boys to be killed.

There was one good mother who loved her babe so dearly that she could not bear to kill it so she hid him in her house as long as she' could, then she made a little basket for him and placed it in the river. His sister stood at some distance to see what would become of him. The king's daughter and her maidens came down to the river to bathe. When she saw the basket out among the flags which grew by the river's brink she sent her maidens to bring it to her. When she opened the basket the little baby began to cry and she felt very sorry for it. Just then the baby's sister came up and asked, "Shall I go and get a nurse for it among Hebrew women." She told her to go so she brought the child's own mother.

The baby was named Moses which means drawn out of the water. Was it not strange that the little child was brought up at the expense of the king and was the very one who was most to be feared. It often happens that wicked people lay evil plans for others and are caught in their own trnp. When Moses was grown, he ran away from the king's house and went to live in the land of Midian. There he married a daughter of the priest and cared for the sheep of Jether, his father-in-law.

One day he saw a bush which was all on fire and yet it was not consumed. He thought this was a strange sight. Then God spoke to him out of the bush and told him to take off his shoes for that was holy ground. God told him the great sorrow the children of Israel were in because the Egyptians were very cruel to them. God said he was going to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians and bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey.

Moses was very unwilling to be the leader of the people until God promised to be with him. So he took his wife and sons and went back to Egypt. The king did not want to let the people leave the country and he did everything in his power to prevent their going. But God sent many plagues upon them until finally the eldest son of each Euyptian family was killed then the king was afraid to pro vent them any more.

So Moses led them forth, a great multitude of people. After they had gone some distance the king sent his soldiers to bring them back. When they reached the Red Sea, Moses stretched forth his hand and the waters parted and all the Israelites crossed over on dry land but when the Egyptians tried to cross the sea the waters came together and they were all drowned. Moses led the children of Israel forty years on their journey to the promised land. He was a wise leader and is called the meekest man that ever lived.
