Republican National Ticket

For President of the United States, WILLIAM H. TAFT. of Ohio.

For Vice President of U. S., JAMES S. SHERMAN. ••£.' .of New York.

The failure of the Republican, party in Indiana to insert a county local option plank in the platform of the coming state convention will be rank cowardice.

The man who votes for lower prices and cheaper products at the coming election should not be heard to complain when he faces the actual conditions of his own acts.

There are many Republicans who will regret to see Albert J. Beveridge leave the Republican party, but many will console themselves with the idea that he is not as great as they thought he was.

We are not going to leave the Republican party just because there are some bjad public men in it. If that spirit had controlled us, we would not have waited until 1912 to depart. But if that rule is good in politics it is good in all things,, and all that would be left for a man to do if it prevailed would be to "Get off the earth!"

It makes an honest Democrat look down his nose when he, exulting over the prospects of his party's success this year, is reminded of the condition of business in this country under the Wilson-Gorman law of Grover Cleveland's administration. It takes all the joy of anticipated victory out of the average Democrat to think of the soup house conditions of 1893 to 1897.

There is one thing certain. The Republicans are going to be "good losers" this year. Notwithstanding the apparent defeat which stares them in the face, they are not consumed with gloom, but are taking the matter good naturedly. They bid the brothers who are leaving the p&rty and are going to the National Progressive party "God speed' and are telling their Democratic friends to go their length—while they have a chance.

In this year of peculiar political ^conditions and independent political action, when Republicans are going in droves into a third political party movement, and others are going to vote for a Democratic president, what will the Democrats p-, jOf Hancock county do with badcan^t^didates on the local lickef? Will .UJ I1/ they vote her straight, or will they t'JIJH'take advantage of the peculiar conditions 4o do a little house-cleaning at home?

No greater consolation can come

S? a political party in defeat than pz&yz*consciousness that its positions on public questions are right. At 1 this time, with division in our party ranks, and many voters deserting the

party

for the new National Pro-

V" gressive party, we may well anchor ourselves on true and tried political principles. It is no time to dodge issues. There is nothing to lose .) this year. Let the Republican state platform be plain, strong and unequivocally for principles that are right.

It is impossible for any political '^|1 party, no matter what its name, or who are its sponsors, to organize a fe convention in an orderly or effective manner without some previous *work being done, which can not be ,, submitted to the people before it is done. There must be delegated or assumed authority before a convention if the convention is able to transact its business promptly, and there must be some central organi- .. zation or committee which can anticipate the work of the convention and get njiatters in shape before the convention. The people caV not all go to the convention, neither can all the delegates to a convention spend a week before the convention at* the' convention city preparing for it. The most natural method is

to have a subcommittee seledfed which can arrange for such conventions. After all of Col. Roosevelt's declarations favor o^ the people ruling, and his protests that he does not want to dictate to the third party people, still he has beqn

Compelled to direct thq program for his third party convention to be held at Chicago. It is doubtful if any man in a political party ever before came so nearly controlling every feature of a national convention as Theodore Roosevelt is controlling the third party convention at Chicago. Neither is he able to have the convention entirely har= monious. There will be some contests and some discontented delegates. We are not criticising at this time anything that Roosevelt

convention. We are only pointing out how impossible it is for anyone to please everybody in a convention. One would naturally expect the organization of a new party founded on the "Rule" of the People to be harmonious and free from the charges of the Road Roller.

REPORT BURGLARIES AT FOUNTAIN!

Razor Stolen at Barber Shop—Elevator Entered Think Hobo is Responsible Blood

Hounds Called.

People of Fountaintown think a hobo is responsible for the burglaries that were perpetrated there this week. Bloodhounds were employed but they could make no headway in tracing the burglar and it is thought that the guilty parties hopped a freight train and left the town.

The grocery store and barbershop of Otto Snyder and the office of the elevator were entered, both by windows. At the barber shop a razor was taken. At the elevator all the papers had been ransacked in an effort to find something of value, but the money had all been removed when the office was locked up at quitting time.

To Pickle Beans.

A country woman suggests that since green beans are now so plentiful, and there is no sale for them* that they be pickled for winter. This is her recipe for preserving them: Make a brine strong enough to bear up an egg cut off each end of the bean as when preparing to cook leave whole place in a clean muslin sack, cover well with brine and weight down. Soak in clear water for several hours beforje using.

Business Change at Carthage. In a deal consummated last Saturday, J. 0. Nelson, the enterprising hardware and implement merchant, disposed of his stock to Charlie E. White and his son, Fred B. White.

OF MILK FAMINE

RICHARD HAGANS, PROPRIETOR OF COUNTY'S LARGEST DAIRY, HAS OFFER TO SELL ALL

HIS PRODUCT TO INDIANAPOLIS FIRM

if1*-

WOULD MEAN HARDSHIP HERE

For Several Weeks At Least as This Dairy Supplies Milk To a Majority of Families in Greenfield—

Rlack Coffee and Dessert Without Cream Would Appear on Rills of Fare For a Time at Least.

Parties from Indianapolis were in Greenfield a few days ago negotiating with Richard Hagans of this city for the delivery of his milk in Indianapolis. They made him a very flattering proposition, one in which it seemed there would be more profit than he now makes by delivering at retail in Greenfield.

Should Mr. Hagans contract with the Indianapolis people, there is a possibility that milk might be very scarce in this city for a time. The other persons in the milk business would have to enlarge their facilities or other persons engage in the business.

Mr. Hagans furnishes milk to a greater number of Greenfield people, and it would take a new plant considerable time to grow to proportions sufficiently large to take care of the trade here. Should Mr. Hagans decide to send his milk to Indianapolis there is no doubt that many Greenfield people would have to drink black coffee or change the color or flavor with condensed brands for several weeks at least.

ARRESTS GREENFIELD MAN.

Sheriff Takes Noland Walker On a Wife Desertion Charge.

Noland Walker, of Greenfield, was arrested yesterday at Carthage by Sheriff Bebout, on a warrant from Hancock county, charging wife and child desertion. Walker was unable to furnish bond and was handed over to the sheriff of Hancock county. The accused man had been in Carthage for some time past, employed in -the strawboard works. He is a brother of Carl Walker, who was recently sentenced to Plainfield by Judge Blair.—Rushville Republican.

THAW STILL INSANE

Court Refuses to Release Him From Asylum Because of Danger.

Harry K. Thaw is still insane in the eyes of the law, and must remain in the asylum where he was placed on February 1, 1908, after he had killed Stanford White. The court took the ground that Thaw's release would be dangerous to the public safety.

ROBERT YELTON, 10 YEARS OLD, VICTIM OF UNUSUAL AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT HOME

OF ALSTON VAN DUYN NORTHEAST OF CITY

DEEP GASH SIX INCHES LONG

Is Cut Across His Throat, Making a Ghastly Wound and He Was Rendered Delirious—Son of Mr. and

Mrs. Charles Yelton, North of the Old Strawboard Corner May Prove Dangerous to the Boy.

Robert Yelton, 10 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Yelton, who live less than a mile north of the strawboard corner, had his throat cut Friday evening on barbed wire, and he is in a serious condition.

The boy was at the' home of Alston Yan Duyn, about eighty rods farther north and at 9 o'clock he started to run home. He ran into the yard gate, which had a barbed wire stretched across the top just at the right height to catch him under the chin. A ghastly and jagged wound six inches long, was cut and torn across his throat, but did not cut deep enough to sever any of, the main veins and arteries, although it is a very dangerous wound. The boy was rendered delirious by the pain, fright and loss of blood, and his condition may prove very serious. Dr. Jos. L. Allen was called and rendered medical and surgical assistance.

BLACKBERRIES PLENTIFUL

Claimed Crop Will Exceed Any in Recent Years. Nearby exchanges report that the blackberry crop promises to be abundant and greater than that for any recent year. The incessant rains and sunshine is very properly given credit for the good results. The Shelbyville News says a few berries are being marketed at 35 cents per gallon, but adds: This, of course, is early market price and will probably drop to 20 cents the latter part of the season.
