Former State Chairman Edwin M. Lee has opened Roosevelt headquarters in Indianapolis and will seek to secure the Indiana delegation for the former president.

If people could get away from party prejudice in politics and from denominational bias in religion, what wonderful things would be accomplished in both lines. Slowly, but surely, the changes are coming.

The name of George B. Lockwood, of Marion sounds good to us for Governor. He is a fearless, levelheaded, honest young Republican, who looks at all political questions as they are.

President Taft is anxious to. have an opportunity to discuss before the people of the country the political issues growing out of his administration. His eagerness to do so indicates his confidence in his positions.

The annual meeting of the Lincoln League at New Castle was one of unusual interest and enthusiasm. There were unmistakable evidences of confidence in the ultimate success of the Republicans in the campaign of 1912.

The candor and sincerity of President Taft is gaining strength for him each day. But he can not be nominated without a strong effort. His friends will need to keep busy. The friends of Col. Roosevelt will contest every available point.

It seems that President Taft grows stronger in the confidence of the people as the season for selecting delegates approaches. His plain straightforward stand for whatever he favors is making a good impression. There has always been too much deceit and insincerity among the political leaders.

The fact that a party would like to get away from an issue is no indication that the issue is not a live one. There are a great many political leaders who would like to side-step the issues growing out of the temperance question, but it can not be done. It will disturb politics until it is settled, and it will never be settled until it is settled right.

The strongest agency for the success of the Republican party in 1912 is union. If they can not unite in harmonious action in the coming campaign, they are doomed to defeat before the campaign begins. The Republican who can not unite on the Taft administration is surely about ready to be gathered into the Democratic fold. Mr. Taft stands about equally distant from the two extremes of his party.

I1 ormer Vice President Fairbanks, taking his inspiration from the life of Abraham Lincoln, in his speech at the Lincoln League Banquet at New Castle Monday evening, urged upon the Republicans, saying "Come Reason Together." The suggestion is opportune and appropriate. The Republicans are right in principles. They have the voters of the country, if they will only get together. As Woodrow Wilson said to his Democratic brethren: "Let us apologize for quarreling among ourselves. Let us get together and hit the heads of the evils we can see." Mr. Fairbanks is always a sane and ever a safe counselor and advisor.

The idea of persons desiring work done co-operating with the local charity organization is a good one, and if properly managed would be mutually beneficial to everybody concerned. The persons wanting the work done would be accommodated, persons out of work would be given an opportunity to' earn some money to aid in their own support, and the charity organization would be relieved to that extent of caring for the person out of work and depending on charity/ The cause is one that should not be allowed to pass by unnoticed. If anyone has work to be done, they should report the same to the charity organization.

The people of this country will think twice this fall before they vote to substitute a revenue tariff for a protective. It is all right to change the schedules of a tariff bill as conditions change, but to repudiate entirely a principle 'under which this country has prospered in a marvelous way, and substitute for it a principle which has with astonishing regularity produced a
