THE NEGRO IN POLITICS. The recent defeat of the Republican party in this State and the causes therefor is still the one topic for general discussion, although the expressed will of the majority of the people of Indiana, came as a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky to the party managers. The leaders are by no means down hearted. A renewed vigor and encouragement for the next battle is already in evidence. One of the first essentials is a complete reorganization of l he party machinery. A new deal is demanded and a larger representation in the party councils of the republican dlectorate must be accorded if unity and strength is de ' sired. It is an open secret that the Negro vote has no voice in Republican councils or conventions. Party platforms, pledges and nominations are made yearly without the least concern for the large Negro vote. And such conditions are wrong from a view point of party efficiency Due consideration,we believe is always given to the strength of the labor vote, the German, the Irish and other lines of voting strength in platforms and in councils, but for the Negro, he gets that threadbare political chest nut, “we feed you” and a few janitorships, and while we must admit that present conditions are partly due to the alleged corrupt use of money the Negro who demands and recives money for his vote is not a whit lower in citizenship than the white man who gives it. But the vote selling Negro must be first on record and made to see the harm he does the whole race. The re-organization must give the Negro a voice in party councils, if his vote ancf influence would be retained. \ Along the lines of reorganizstion exGovernor Durbin makes the following pointed suggestions: •‘The work of re-forming the lines for the campaign of 1910 in Indiana out to be begun as k soon as possible We shall enter the campaign 2 years hence handicapped with a reunited Democratic state government a Demo cratic United States Senator from Indiana.in the field against us for the first time in a dozen years, a start for the Democratic party of a substantial majority of holdovers in the State Sen ate, eleven Democratic congressmen actively at work in their several districts, and it might as well be acknowledge that we are going to have to fight of our lives two years from now. Indiana is Republican by a plurity of at least 30,000 on a straight vote. The whole problem is to get our own people together, to call in and consult and recognize all elements of the party without regard to factional lines. Any other policy will mean ruin to those most interested in the success of the Republican party in Indiana, and it will mean a repitition of the defeat of 1908, though the process of reprisal that always goes along with a feud.”

fW^IMES have changed greatly ■ since the pilgrim fathers inB stituted in Massachusetts the Thanksgiving observances which have since become annual customs throughout the land. But the heart of the nation has changed little since the good old days In New England when the hardy pioneers gathered their families about their rude but bounteous boards and praised the Almighty for a good harvest and the opportunity to live upon a free soli. Their descendants maintained the customs of Thanksgiving in their original spirit. Modern innovations have effected the observance of other

national festivals, but it is the old fashioned Thanksgiving which reigns supreme In the hearts of the people today. In the big cities some may Sit down In palatial hotels or fashionable restaurants to enjoy all kinds of luxuries with French names and prepared under the superintendence of a professional chef. But, no matter how many costly courses are served at such a meal or how many dollars are charged per cover. It never tastes a? good to the average American as the mince and pumpkin pies and roast turkey and cranberry sauce made in old fashioned kitchens in the old fashioned way at the old homestead. How the mouth waters at the very thought of those pumpkin pies that grandma made! Grandma used to say: “Now, my boy. will you have mince, pumpkin or apple?’’ And, not being able to decide which to leave out. wanting all three, the answer would come from childish but hungry lips. “A little piece of each, grandma.’’ And

acn at one sitting and without a disastrous aftermath two drumsticks, with lots of dressing, potatoes and turnips and onions and celery and cranberry sauce ad libitum, marmalade and quince jelly, lemon and apple and mince and apple pie, cheese, apples and oranges, nuts and cider? But anybody who has attended the reunions at the old homestead knows that this is no extraordinary feat for a healthy youngster. The multimillionaire whose digestive organs have /been Impaired In the feverish race for the almighty dollar wishes at the Thanksgiving feast that he could eat like that again. But, alas, there is a fatal antagonism between the ways of the simple life and of high finance, and he who chooses the latter must forfeit the humbler but more satisfying pleasures which go with a mode of living based on the old fashioned plan. Really, now, what made the meals served at the old homestead so good? Was It the cooking alone, or was there something else, some peculiar appetizer that one does not have In these days? To be sure, the mothers and grandmothers on the farms were splendid cooks, and they are still. On that subject they can’t learn much from the Roosevelt farm life commission. But If they were to serve exactly the same food, mince and pumpkin pies and all, cooked in exactly the same way at some other place than the old homestead, probably the peculiar flavor of olden time would be gone. The cooking had a good deal to do with it, but It wasn’t all. There was the healthy farm life—lucky are those that have It still—and there was the vitality that chased away the germs folks have to fight so much if they live In cities. And, then. It was the old homestead. Nowhere else could anything be so good. The man or woman who has no memories of an old home, the dwelling place of father and mother, of grandfather and great-grandfa-ther perhaps, be that home in country

MAKINO THE GRAVY. grandma, knowing a boy's failing, would cut those “little” pieces big enough to fill a very empty stomach. Nowadays mince pie is looked upon as rather a strenuous diet for a people who are getting dyspeptic in their hurry to get rich. But grandma’s mince pies never gave a boy a stomach ache unless, of course, he ate so much that his poor little abdominal organs were stretched to the bursting point. And some way a boy’s stomach will take In a remarkable quantity of assorted food products before that point Is attained. It seems to be especially elastic at Thanksgiving time. How it happens that a youngster of eleven or twelve can eat as much at Thanksgiving as a big 200 pound man # coukl on ordinary occasions has never been satisfactorily explained. For Instance, how is It ooaslble for one bQ3LlQ.IilL t .J n stom-
