GRAY OPENS CAMPAIGN. The Democratic campaign was opened last Thursday evening in Hancock county at the court house by Finley H. Gray, the candidate for congress in the Sixth district. The indifference felt among Democrats in the race for congress was manifest in the attendance at the meeting, and Mr. Gray's address was of such a nature as to add nothing to the interest or enthusiasm. In fact the candidate's evident policy of playing "fast and loose" to every campaign element and political condition in the Sixth district did not make a very favorable impression in the old Democratic stronghold, of Hancock. If there is one thing that the Democratic If-:-.'ers of this county believe in, .it is party regularity from con,ble to congressman. No "milk a.ad water" campaign goes with State Cb""-TnaD Jackson and hitt Hancock guilty lieutenants, and it in no misrepresentation to say that a speech like Mr. Gray's fell liko a "wet blanket" on his audience. Democrats in Hancock net only want a vigorous camp«T'~ n, but they want it distinctly understood that no favorites go. N/tiri ig suits them but the whole tickoi.. Mr. Cray's claivi that there was not mi difference between Republicans md Democrats this year is not pc^ular here. Hi« solicitude for his vn election in a Republican dist-r .'' idlcjs of the e(foots of his spt. «,he chances of John W. Kern,' ot appeal to bis party Zii ill old Hancock. "Milk and water "fast and loose" methods may be winners for Mr. Gray to a race for mayor of the Republican stronghold of Connersville, but they will iot do in Hancock. No middle ground goes here in his party. He must be Hern uing here, and the main thinj, «ii, be a Democrat, and stand for the whole ticket. John W.

11"! "r

Kern is as much to Democrats in Hancock county as Finley Gray, and no speech is satisfactory that overlooks that fact. It is safe to predict that Mr. Gray's next speech in Hancock will be of a different tone, no matter what his speeches in Wayne, Henry and Fayette are.

Mr. Gray's brother, Judge George W., followed the candidate with one of his characteristic pyrotectnic speeches which reminded the writer of the days when George and he were college boys at old "I. U„l' and George's Greenback speeches ®f 1882 echoed among the hills of Salt creek and Bean Blossom and won for the orator the sobriquet, "Demosthenes."

Congressman William O. Barnard is making a very favorable impression in his campaign for re-election. His fair candid statements of his record appeals strongly to his constituents. The Republicans of the District are awakening to the fact that the extra and regular sessions of Congress were unusual, and that new members were more liable to make mistakes under such condition than when the usual conditions prevail Mr. Barnard's record is not only good, from a general standpoint, but it is especialy good from a consistant party standpoint, and should commend him to the Republicans of the district. There is no good reason why, from any standpoint, Judge Barnard should not be re-elected. What can any Republican give as a reason for voting for Mr. Gray in preference to Judge Barnard?

BOOST GREENFIELD. No county seat in Indiana is surrounded by a better body of land than Greenfield. There is every reason why land in Hancock county should command the highest price paid for farming land in the state. The location is central. Roads cannot be beat. The soil is remarkably fertile. The improvements are up-to-date, and the citizens are progressive and prosperous. Slow and indifferent indeed would be the business men of a coun-ty-seat like Greenfield, so situated and surrounded, that could not secure from such a productive territory a fair share of business. They do get good patronage. Greenfield business men are doing a good substantial business and they rank in financial standing very favorably with any other similar city in Indiana. We do not desire to misrepresent the true conditions of business in Greenfield, but we are frank to say that we have no inclination to disparage our town, its business men or its business. We believe there is as much merchandise sold in Greenfield as there ever was. We believe our city has as substantial and successful business men as any similar city. Let us stand by our business men. Let us all stand together for Greenfield and all her business interests. If everything in the past has not been exactly what we would have it be, let us forget that, and begin with a clean score today. Boost Greenfield.,

There are as good bargains offered by the merchants of Greenfield as can be found anywhere. Greenfield merchants sell their wares as cheap as similar qualities can be purchased even in larger cities. It does not matter whether it is in the beginning of the season or in the closing out 9ales. Greenfield merchants meet all competition in prices. They seek to hold their regular customers and get all the new ones that special inducements will attract.

The deaths and injuries caused by railroad wrecks last week were appalling. In most cases they were caused by a direct violation of o/ders. An employe, who by violating an order, causes the death of more than forty people and cripples many others, does much more harm than the man who goes out with malice and premeditation and kills a fellow citizen. Still there is a general feeling that such employe is not a criminal in the general sense of the word. The terribleness of wreck consequehces, however, is arousing the people, and the time is coming when an awakened public will uot be reluctant to term a man with the responsibility of many lives and much property a criminal who willingly violates a plain order and causes the wholesale death of people.

As The

World Revolves

Someone has said "Life is made up of common things. It is in the field of the commonplace, in the dull round of daily duties and daily cares that the battle of life must be fought and the victory of character be made manifest." The high-tide moments in individual lives are rare and the opportunities [jfor a spectacular display of heroism are few. The power to influence millions is a gift bestowed on comparatively few. It is the common everyday things that come into life that grind the soul and make existence miserable with a longing for something we think would be better and grander. He who lives on the rolling prairie, longs to see the mountain peaks vie with each other in their efforts to pierce the clouds. The one who for the first time goes into the mountains is entranced with the panoramic change of scene from mountain peak to gorge, from magnificent waterfall to raging mountain streams, and the glimpse of snow-capped peaks dropping for miles to the green valley, makes the life on the level plains seem common-place and monotonous in the extreme. However, he who was born and reared among the mountain ranges, finds the same peaks, the same valleys, looking him in the face from day to day, and while there is variety that would seem to satisfy the most exacting, he longs to go oat where he can see something, where he can look for miles over acres and acres of waving grain and orchards of fruit and dotting farm houses. It is a revelation to him to stand and look for miles down a railroad track as it lis to the plain-dweller to see the train of cars winding its snake-like way over the mountain side. Each has had his longings but when the new scenery begins to pall upon him goes home to the common-place and lives there again for their very commonness. When you have left the monotony of the old home and plated yourself for a few years in another place, though you may have succeeded far beyond your fondest dreams, there comes a longing to go back and see the common-place things of youth that you despised a little while ago. When you return, you find that others, like yourself, have become discontent and sought other fields in which to spread out and achieve greatness, but the same acres, some of the same houses, and a few of the same people grown older, are there to extend the welcome hand. The things in your new home have by now become as common-place as those of the old, and perhaps if you could leave the new and drop back into the old associations just where you quit off, you would not hesitate to go back to what that now seems the real joys of life. But you can't do it. Other people are in charge and the changes in the people are so great as to be really painful. The friends you once thought so ordinary are gone, some to better places, while marble slabs tell the mute story of many you would give much to greet. Tender memories o'er-flood the soul on occasions like this, and you wonder how it were ever possible to have considered the people of the old home neighborhood as* ordinary as commonplace.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1910. V-*.*'- «. -,.

BEVERIDGE GOES TO PLAIN PEOPLE

Appeals to All Voters to Act For Common Welfare.

STANDS FOR ROOSEVELTISM

Demands That Political Parties Shall Measure Up to Present Public Thought —Calls on Sound Reason and Upright Heart of Whole' People —Puts Citizenship Before Partisanship, Country Above Bosses.

Declaring that intelligent Democrats and Republicans alike "refuse longer to be unquestioning burden-bearers of partisan slave-drivers" and that while "hospitality to righteous ideas is the life of political parties, intolerance of ideas is the death of parties," Senator Beveridge made his opening appeal to the voters at Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, Tuesday night. "I appeal to the people. This is your fight," sums the significance of the speech.

The great crowd which greeted Senator Beveridge showed tremendous enthusiasm. His fiery eloquence swept the thousands to their feet and time after time he was answered by demonstrations of remarkable force and fervor.

His speech opening the campaign ranks well with the best efforts of the Indiana senator's career. In part he said: "I appeal to the people. This is your fight. Many politicians would have this campaign a mere partisan struggle for office. It shall not be. 'The old order changeth, giving place to that which is new.' This is a day of such a change. "Intelligent Democrats and Republicans alike refuse longer to be unquestioning burden-bearers of partisan slave-drivers. "Democrats and Republicans alike are asking what is best for their firesides and their country. "The period of unthinking partisanship has passed—the period of thinking citizenship has arrived.

Truth Means Life.

"Political parties today must measure up to the higher standard of present public thought. Hospitality to righteous ideas is the life of political parties Intolerance of ideas their death. "A party can live only by growing, and it can grow only by deserving the approval of men in whom citizenship is stronger than partisanship. "Condemned by the bosses but commissioned by the voters, the Lincoln spirit is in command of the Republican party today. "For the sake of the nation I earnestly wish that this were true of the cabal of old-time politicians calling themselves the Democratic party. "But it Is not. These men cry the old-time catch-words, practice the worn-out partisan methods. The whole present day tendency among Democratic politicians is reactionary.

Where Hope Lies Today. "Ask yourself if the only hopeful movement in American public life is not progressive Republicanism. "The Republican party was the result of the historic progressive movement of the hf.roic 'sixties, just as the revolution was the result of the progressive mevement that made us a nation. It is the same movement tnat is working out the purpose of the American millions today. And it appeals to the righteous firesides of a free people rather than to the dark rooms of party bosses. "We appeal to all citizens in the name of oqr common welfare. Lincoln appealed to all citizens when he said at Indianapolis, in i861, 'Not with politicians, not with presidents, not with office-seekers, but with you is the question: "Shall the Union and the liberty of the people be preserved?"'

Progressive Republicanism. "The Emancipation Proclamation was progressive Republicanism the Homestead Act was progressive Republicansim the resumption of specie payments was progressive Republicanism. "Progressive Republicanism established the Department of Cbmmerce and Labor, wrote the railway rate law, the pure fcod law, the meat inspection law,,the irrigation law, the employers' liability law, the safety appliance law —all opposed covertly or openly by the reactionaries of both parties. "Progressive Republicanism forced a reluctant congress to break ground for the foundation for the greatest of"s!l business reforms, the Tariff Commission. "These reforms were for the common jroes*and thus they won the support of men of other parties who cared for the country's welfare than for a partisan victory. "Most men and women of all parties want equally to do right most of us have the same needs and desires. So let IM consider what is best fpr our homes and for our country, not as foes, but as# friends, wishing to help one another. "Several causes have raised the cost of living—some causes that legislation cannot remedy. But there are other rauBes which legislation can remedy. Railway rates based on over-capitaliza-tion is one cause. Our century-old

policy of giving away the people's natural resources, thus increasing our taxes by destroying this source of in come, is another cause. Extortionate tariff rates, far beyond the limits of protection, is another cause. In each of these the moral phase is the vital thing. Always mora! wrong works economic outrage.

Revenue-Only Fallacies.

"Our opponents say that a tariff-for-revenue-only is the best thing fpr us. But that is a tariff highest on articles which everybody in this country consumes and which nobody in this country can produce. Does anybody want a tariff on coffee? That is what a rev-enue-only tariff means. "A little tea is grown in South Carolina. A Democratic senator fought desperately to put a duty on tea. If you favor a revenue-only tariff you favor a tariff on tea and on every other article we consume and cannot produce. Is that good sense? "The greatest cost in producing any manufactured article is the cost of labor. Most foreign labor gets smaller wages than our labor. A revenue-only tariff would put our labor on a wage equality with foreign labor. Is that just to labor?

Protection Is General.

"Every modern nation except the United Kingdom has a protective tariff. A revenue-only tariff would permit foreign producers to come into our markets by paying only a revenue duty, while we could get into their markets only by paying a protective duty. Is that good business? "I am a protectionist but not an extortionist. I am an Abraham Lincoln protectionist. Abraham Lincoln said: 'If we could have a moderate, carefully adjusted protective tariff, so far acquiesced in as not to be a subject of perpetual strife, squabbles, changes and uncertainties, it would be better for us.' "That is the Abraham Lincoln doctrine of protection and I follow where Lincoln led. So I am a protectionist —not a free trader on the one hand nor an extortionist on the other, but a protectionist of the Abraham Lincoln school. I am for a tariff bullded on facts for the honest protection of all American industry not for a tariff bullded on bargains for the unjust profit of mighty interests. "Log-Rolling" Must Stop. 'Log-rolling' legislation must stop. Lobby legislation must stop. And at last we have begun a method that will stop them. The leaders of both par-" ties at first opposed it. Democratic senators and congressmen still resist it. Only truth and the people's need have forced into law the beginning of that reform which will destroy the "log-rolling," lobby-fixing methods of tariff making—the reform of a tariff commission. "Politician candidates running for office as Democrats ask your support because of the wrongs of the Aldrich tariff law but did Democratic senators and congressmen do any fighting to prevent those wrongs? "Why did Democratic senators not only do no real fighting themselves, but actually proposed to prevent all fighting and vote on the whole bill when the battle was young. If Democratic senators believed in a revenueonly tariff, why did they not present a revenue-only tariff bill and vote for it? There is the record, and no campaign hypocrisy can wipe out a word of it. "I condemn equally the same kind of Republicans and Democrats, but this I say—that if certain Republican public men have wronged you, most Democratic public men have both wronged you and betrayed you, and these latter absolutely control the Democratic minority in both house and senate. "Do you ask how the people can discriminate among these men? Go to the Record and find your answer— the Record reveals those who were fighting for the common good and those who were merely maneuvering for partisan and personal advantage.

Commission Must Come.

"A tariff commission would have made all this battling, all this confusion, unnecessary and these wrongs impossible. A tariff commission would have taken tariff making out of politics a tariff commission will yet take tariff making out of politics. "So at last we have laid the foundation for a tariff commission. We must continue our fight until the present temporary powerless tariff board is made into a genuine, permanent, nonpartisan tariff commission with full powers and duties fixed in the law itself. "Independent revision of schedules would abolish dishonest "log-rolling" bargains and make^ each schedule accurate and just and this is the second great reform in tariff methods which we propose to enact. The first reform, a genuine, nonpartisan tariff commission, makes this second reform, the independent revision of schedules separately, necessary and certain.

Cannot Buy Indiana.

"It Is said that great sums of money are coming into Indiana to defeat the Republican candidate for senator. I advise the sources of this corruption fund to save their cash. Indiana's voters cannot be bought before election, and Indiana's legislature cannot be bought either before or after election. Let the interests who are parting *ith their currency, including the tobacco trust, 'put that In their pipes and smoke it.' "Indiana in 1911 will not be like Illinois of 1909. "I ask all voters to be citizens first and partisans afterwards. "Whether approved by the mighty or not. we will continue the conflict for the common good."

PRICES0FH06SIENT0 TWENTVCEHTS LOWER

Most Decline is On the Lightweights

Indianapolis, Ind., September 28. Receipts, 6,500 hogs, 1,400 cattle and 800 sheep agdinst 3,736 hogs, 2000 cattle and 1512 sheep a week ago and 4,343 hogs, 1,763 cattle and 433 sheep a year ago.

Two days' receipts of hogs have been larger than they have been for a lung time and contrary to the rule another good run followed yesterday's. Buyers had an advantage and prices were pushed to a much lower level, with more discrimination against the light hogs than the heavy. The bulk of the light grades suffered a decline of 20c, while heavies were 10c lower. The top was $9.30, the bottom $9.00 and the bulk of the sale from $9.05 to $9.25.

If compared with the Wednesday runs for some time the receipts of cattle look small. Considering the fact that there was none on through billing, the supply for sale was about as large as usual. There was a slow demand, especially from local packers, and it was difficult to consumate sales, but prices were little, if any, lower than yesterday, There was a slow outlet for stockers and feeding cattle at the recent decline in prices, bulls held steady and calves steady to 25c lower.

There was only a slight increase in the marketing of sheep and lambs and the supply was no larger than required to meet a steady demand. Offerings changed hands promptly at steady prices. There were only odd small bunches of lambs as high as §6.75 to $7. The top was practically $6.50, with culls as low as $4. Yearlings sold up to $5 and sheep for $2 to $4.35.
