Some Republicans are mad about the conditions and the actions of party leaders at Chicago; some grieved; many discouraged, and despondent, and few, if any, pleased.

The condition of the Republican party as relates to its success in November, has not been improved by anything that has bi'en done so far at Chicago.

If the Republican party can not "'square away" better at the Chicago convention than it seems now able to do, defeat at the November election will probably be in store for it.

We would feel a great deal better if, when the Chicago convention is adjourned the name of Justice Hughes or Senator Cummins heads the Republican national ticket.

It must be considerable satisfaction to Mr. Bryan in looking back over the past sixteen years to note that there has been more change in the mind of the public on politics than in him.

Some Republicans voluntarily are going to Chicago, but as for ourselves, we can get enough of that convention at long distance. To every Republican who does not believe in the road-roller methods, we would say: "Stay away from Chicago."

These are indeed revolutionary times in party politics. The veterans of independent politics, who for more than thirty years have anticipated the inevitable results of corrupt methods in politics and official life, can now view with complaisance the fulfillment of their proph­

Whether Col. William Jennings Bryan is nominated at the Baltimore convention or not. he will have a great influence on the action of the convention. He is the most influential Democrat in the United States. It is a compliment to him that such is true after his unusual political activity for twenty years.

There are a number of Republicans who would make good timber for party candidates for Governor. Any of them are better qualified than Mayor Shank. There are George B. Lockwood, Hugh T. Miller, Addison C. Harris, William L. Taylor and W, T. Durbin. Any one of them would make a good candidate and a good officer.

We still stand unshaken in our opinion that there is only one position for the Republican party in Indiana to take on the temperance question, and that is in favor of county local option. The question can not be eliminated from politics. It is there to stay until settled right. The Republican party can not dodge responsibility and escape just censure for its cowardice.

There can be no doubt to the close observer that the present apparent Democratic harmony is largely due to Republican dissension. While we do not get any consolation out of the subdued Democratic discord, we are none the less conscious of the fact that there is a large amount of latent dynamic hate among party leaders ready to explode just as soon as party victory removes the necessity of union against the common party enemy.

We were for the renomination of President Taft as against Theodore Roosevelt, but since there has been so much bitterness awakened between those two candidates, we think it would be much better to nominate some third man. The mere fact that one of the leading candidates can muster up enough delegates to secure his nomination does not justify such nomination if the condition such nomination produces threatens the defeat of the party in November. It is better that any man in the party suffer than that the whole party be defeated.

The old saying that "It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored," is more applicable to politics than any phase of human activity. The fellow who is willing to gore and roadroller all opposition without mercy is the first to kick when the roller starts toward

Evidence

We do not like the idea, heard sometimes, that it would be good for the Republican party to be given a defeat at the election. That position can be sustained only on the theory that the party does not do what it should do. We think the principles of the Republican party are right, and if the party does not accomplish what it should, it is because the officers do not do their duty. We think there is too much hypocrisy, insincerity and deceit in political leaders and officers. It brings reproach on all politics. People not engaged in politics, lose confidence in all political matters. Politics should be conducted on a good-faith basis. Honesty should control in politics just as it does in business. There never was any justification in the rule that anything is fair and right in politics. There as much reason, or more, that politics should be honestly conducted as that business should be so conducted. The man who wants to see his party defeated simply because he can not get what he wants in the party, is disloyal and does not deserve anything at the hands of his party. Dishonesty and selfishness among the political leaders and office-holders is largely responsible- for the present demoralized and disorganized condition of politics. Unless there is reform, real evils, resulting in an attack on the fundamental principles of our government are sure to arise. It is not impossible for political revolution to arise in the United States.

The changed conditions of politics are shown emphatically in the fact that so prominent a leader of the Republican party as Congressman Cannon will not attend the Chicago convention. Mr. Cannon has, at different times, been mentioned as a possible candidate for president, but he will not be present this year at the national convention, though he says it has been so long since he missed a national convention of his party that he does not remember the time. It would seem that Mr. Cannon did not care much who is nominated by his party this year. Mr. Cannon will probably be in Congress as long as he desires to represent his district and he gets about as much or more erijoyment out of a Democratic Congress as he does out of a Republican.

A Greenfield business man said a few' days ago that he would give $1,000 on paving the National Road to Irvington. Of course one thousand dollars would be scarcely more than a "drop in the bucket" in so large an undertaking, but it shows how one business man appreciates the importance of a paved highway between Greenfield and the state capital. In these days of automobiles and motorcycles, there is nothing that would attract so much travel to Greenfield as a paved highway. We do not know how long it will be until the principal highways will be paved, but we are confident that in the course of time they will be, and when they are they will be a great benefit to the traveling public. One of the first roads to be paved in Indiana will be the National road, and probably the first part of it to be so improved will be from Indianapolis to Greenfield. The demand for better roads is constantly increasing, and a movement to pave the National Road from Baltimore to St. Louis is taking definite form.

J. H. Andrews, of Camden, N. J. who conducts an advertising service throughout the United States, very appropriately says, "Nowadays the man who does not carry life insurance is a curiosity."

him, and he can roar and squeal louder than anybody when he suffers from the roller process. The men who do not believe in the roller process and never use it, are the ones who submit to the roller methods with the least complaint. The person who would use a roadroller in politics does not deserve any sympathy when he gets run over by the other fellows' roller. The road-roller methods are wrong but he that would complain of them, let no roller be found among his assets.

Taking Care of Hoosiers. Chicago special in Indianapolis Morning Star: "All Indiana men gravitate toward Capt. Harry S. New when seeking favors, or aid. or information. Capt. New is demonstrating, as he formerly has done, that he tries hard to care for the Hoosiers. He is ably seconded in this effort by Col. E. P. Thayer, of Greenfield, assistant sergeant-at-arms."

Man,comes into the world without his consent and leaves against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings. In his infancy he is an angel in his boyhood he is nit in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up in his duties he is a fool. If he raises a family he is a chump if he raises a check he is a thief, and then the law raises Ned with him. If he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense if he is rich he is dishonest, but considered smart, If he is in politics he is a "grafter" and a "crook if he is out of politics vju can't place him and he is an "undesirable citizen." If he goes to church he is a hypocrite and if he stays away from church he is a sinner. If he donates to foreign missions he does it for show if he doesn't he is stingy and a "'tightwad." When he first monies into the world everybody wants to kiss him before he goes out thoy all want to kick him. If he dies young there was a grand future before him if he lives to a ripe old age he is in the way and only living to save funeral expenses.

Production The Solution. There is a great deal of talk about the high cost of living. The question has resolved itself to this "If we would live cheaper, we must produce more," says the Shelbyville Republican. It can be done by a proper rotation of crops and soil fertilization. I have not the slightest doubt that inside of twenty years, the products of the soil in all of Shelby county, which will include grain, grasses, vegetables, fruit and stock, can be more than doubled in quality. A co-operation and better system of marketing will give a much greater sale price to the producer and yet not cost the ultimate consumer more. The cost of transportation will be reduced by better roads and better mediums and mehods of carriage. The increased acreage and tillage, and the large number of dairy cattle, horses, hogs and poultry that would be kept would mean a very large increase in rural population and also, urban. It would mean better schools, better churches and better social advantages in every way. Shelby county has a world of natural advantages. She has a population of progressive, entertaining citizens and we should all be ambitious to make the most and the best of magnificent opprotunities. Let there be no laggards, no shirkers, let us be live wifres and "Then think if you can

Of a mission more grand Than a mission to live In this time and this land."

A inan has just been left a large sum of money because some years ago he did a kindness to a woman who was in distress. Well, it pays to show kindness. The financial returns may seldom come, but that, after all, is a small matter to any chivalric, courteous person. There is payment in the act itself, for every kind word uttered and every kind action performed brings a double blessing in that it blesses both the one who gives and the one to whom it is given.

Costs in Harris Case.

The Harris murder case at Rushville that has just been completed, cost Rush county about $2,500. Attorneys hired to assist the State's attorney received fees amounting to $950.

James O. Warrick received a nice pneumatic McMurray sulkey today. He has a string of horses which he is driving at the fair grounds. He has the promising young pacers belonging to Jesse F. Andrews and Geo. Gray. Mr. Warrick is an oldtime driver.

OUR PLAN

With your Insurance divided into eight items, you must carry a larger Policy to get full Protection than if there be but three divisions.

Then, too, we charge only $1.75 cash for three years' Combined Insurance $2 50 for five POLICY FORM

Hay, Grain, Fodder and Seeds while in Barn No, 1 Granaries, Oribs and Stacks (on cultivated' ground only) not exceeding $50 00 on any one stack' including Grain and Seeds while stored in assured's dwelling, all situated on premises described herein

NOTE:—If you carry $500.00 on hay and $500.00 on grain, it costs you $35.00 for five years in other Companies. The same amount would cost you $25.00, combined as one item with us. But $750.00 would probably be considered as insuring your Property as fully with those items as one class, as would $1,000.00 divided into two classes. The cost would be onlv $18.75, or a saving of $16,25.

POLICY FORM

Farming' Implements and Tools, Cream Separator Wagons, Sleighs, Harness, Carriages and Carriage equipments, (including automobiles) while on premises decrlbed herein or while temporarily absent therefrom $

NOTE —The Farm Implements are always stored in the nooks and out-of-way places in the barn, and are seldom saved from burning buildings, while wagons and buggies are easily rolled out. Hence the value of having them classed as one item.

School Trustee Thirty-Three Years. The retirement of William Bundy from the office of school trustee does not mean that he will no longer be interested in the welfare of our public schools. For thirtythree years Mr. Bundy has been a member and most of this time the president of the Carthage School Board. He was first elected in 1875 and his service in this capacity has been continuous with but two interruptions—at one time a period of three years, and at another time one year.—Carthage Citizen.
