Advertising Offices —Chicago, New York, Boston, Detroit, G. Logan Payne Cos. —“THIS IS THE YEAR”— WE NEVER BELIEVED there were eo many "radicals” in this country until Gen. Wood told us that his opponents were “the radicals.” PERHAPS the reason republicans have been criticising the government for not deporting more “radicals” was because they had previously found that the radicals would not support Gen. Wood. THAT NORTHERN INDIANA FARMER who went to Los Angeles to lose $15,000 in a stock swindle might have stayed at home and saved carfare. 1 PEOPLE gain admittance to the poor farm because they are unable to support themselves. What they can get on the side by being placed on the county pay rolls might just as well be regarded as a little tip, anyhow. The Primary Tickets With the elapsing of the period in which candidates who desired might withdraw from the May primaries it is now apparent that Marion county will have the opportunity to support a much better democratic ticket than had been predicted or than seemed likely less than a month ago. Men of ability, moved more by an unselfish desire to serve their party and the community than a desire for public office, are today contestants for nomination on the democratic ticket. It ought not to be difficult, and we do not belfeve it will be difficult, for the party to unite on candidates whose character and standing will insure the voters of the county an opportunity to make a reality of their desire for a clean government. This most desirable result can be attributed to three things: • L A general disgust with the kind of government that has been given county by the 60-called "good government league.” 2. A realization among democrats of the foolishness of fighting each other and the necessity of fighting the hypocritical opposition in the interest of civic decency. | 3. The unselfish and Judicious efforts of committees of loyal democrats who worked untiringly to show that the party would appreciate the proper kind of candidates and lay aside personal feelings for the benefit of the party. The disgust of the whole community for administration of public office such as we have had at the hands of the "good government league” is too general to call for comment. \ The realization of the futility of fighting each other is proved by the representative names of democrats on the party’s legislative ticket. The good work of the committees on candidates stands revealed throughout the ticket. In none of their efforts to insure sound candidates did any committee fail. In some instances they may not have succeeded in bringing forth candidates to the liking of all factions of the ticket, but In none of the contests did they leave unaccomplished their purpose to enter a democrat who is entitled to the support of the whole party. An earlier misunderstanding concerning the treasurer’s nomination, to which we have previously referred, has been cleared away by a statement from Frank Woolling to the effect that he personally filed his declaration of candidacy, thus relieving any one of the responsibility of having placed him in the contest against George SpeigeL Before the nominations had closed It was understood that Mr. Woolling had placed his declaration in the hands of others with the proviso that it be filed only in event no other candidate appeared. Later, it has been established, Mr. Woolling determined to seek the nomination regardless of the entrance of another candidate, which he had the undoubted right to do. Thereupon his declaration was returned to him and he assumes full responsibility for its filing. In the treasurer race, as in several other contests, there promises now to be a spirited but not unfriendly fight, which will help prevent the return of the apathy which the democrats of Marion county appear to have shaken off entirely. The democratic primary contest presents an entirely different aspect from that of the republican fight which i3 being waged among a crowd of office-holders, professional candidates and boss-ridden representatives of certain selfish interests. The withdrawal of Robert Miller, sheriff, who sought re-election on his “record” previously to a few preliminary truths concerning the “record” being revealed in federal court, does not particularly help the republicans, ; although it does relieve them of a great burden. Miller did not have the courage to stay in the race until the end and thus submit the issue of the truth of the charges of malfeasance in office to the people for a verdict. Having submitted his "record” to the party before it was a subject of investigation he withdraws the submission rather than permit the people who once showed confidence in him to pass upon it. This lack of courage will be taken as a general admission of the truth of charges concerning his conduct of the county jail and the republican party in Marion county will find that something more than the mere forcing of Miller off the primary ballot is necessary to restore confidence in its offerings. , The democrats enter the primary with ah immeasurably better ticket than the republicans, taken man for man, and without the necessity of apologizing for any candidate. There can be no doubt that maintenance of this lead throughout the campaign will bring a radical change in the administration of county affairs. “This is the year.” One Wet, One Dry Certain democrats in the Fourth congressional district are so fond of the “old days” when the saloons were the principal campaign centers in Indiana that they simply can not refrain from lugging the wet and dry issue into their congressional fight. Although they have no hopes of platform support they are endeavoring to turn the contest for nomination in the fourth district into a struggle between the whisky interests and the decent citizens of the district. For some time it has been the hope of sane party leaders that such an issue could be avoided in Indiana, but in the Fourth district that hope has faded and the next step appears to bo an alignment of the candidates for congress in accordance with their relation to the whisky traffic. Charles H. Conoway of Ripley county has announced that his candidacy is in the interest of the repeal of the prohibition amendment. Dr. J. A. Craig of Greenwood says that while he still prefers not to recognize “wet or dry” as an issue in the campaign, as one candidate has now declared himself on a “wet” platrorm and the others are not of record ho deems it his duty to fiirect attention to the fact that he has stood consistently with the democratic party for prohibition and law enforcement: that as a member of the present legislature he voted for the “Wright Dry Bill,” and that he is now the only candidate before the democrats of the district who is of record on that issue All the democrats of the Fourth district will not agree with either Conoway or Craig, but it is entirely likely that more will stand against liquor than for it and it is certainly well that none should be deceived as to the attitude of the candidates. Goodrich Against Women Crafty Jim Goodrich, ex-officio member of the board of election commissioners, who is in reality the governing Influence of that board by reason of being governor of Indiana, has decided that the women of Indiana shall not vote in the primaries. His decision is in d|rect contravention of the opinion of the law held, his attorney general, Ele Stansbury, but It is the decision that will stand. Goodrich Is now endeavoring to make it appear that the decision is that of W. W. Spencer ar.d W. H. Thompson, his appointee to the board. His purpose Is plain. Lacking the courage to oppose those women who desire to vote in ihe primaries he has craftily arranged that the responsibility shall be shouldered by a democrat and a republican, both of whom are his appointees. The legal aspect of the case may be a matter of some dispute. But there can be no dispute over the fact that Gov. Goodrich does not desire women to vote in the primary. If he did, he could arrange to have their votes recorded Just easily as he appears to have arranged it otherwise.

could not remember it more thaif ten minutes. The subject of stenographers is one which Is always more or less interesting. The army of pothook makers has come to play an important part in the business world. One business man’s troubles in this connection are more or less thoroughly aired In the following waut-ad snipped from the Detroit Free Press: “We have open a position for a first rate stenographer; who can really take dictation; wJo is really Interested In work even though the work is light; who can get there at 8 o’clock every morning; who might be called a secretary if we could afford such a luxury and who really thinks S3O a week a fair salary; near stenographers and office vampires should save postage.” A Brooklyn man complained that he had been severely beaten by his wife nine times in one week. Probably slie Is one of these “well-known club women.” Trotzk.v has been shot so often that as soon as he sees any of the faithful comrades reach for the hip, he starts Immediately for the hospital without waiting for the bullet. What has become of the eight or nine hundred celebs who have landed on these shores during the last few months? The country seems to swallow and digest them as fast us they come. Let’s see, who was that prize fighter who landed the other day? Oh, to be sure. Were Our Landlords Ever Children? As the youngest of ten children, who grew into maturity surrounded by big brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, may I speak a word In behalf of the children? If the notice we see on many houses that are for rent, namely, “No Children,” Is heeded by this amusement-loving generation, I am afraid there wlil not be very many heroes twenty years hence to fight for "liberty throughout the world, to all the people thereof.” Nor will there be many women left to keep the “home fires burning”—for. If there are no homes for children now, I fear the little ones will ceasu to arrive, as they have already in many localities. There will not be’any real homes, only buildings, where single people may hire a night's lodging, if they tread softly and do not leave their footprints on the polished floor. I wonder If landlords were ever children. or have they Just arrived from the “Better Land,’’ and not yet familiar with the ways of little < hildren on this restless planet; however, before I censure the landlords, may I ask, why they do not "go for the parents," instead of the children who come Into the world, without any knowledge of anything, and what people see in them as the years go-by is

Restore Pe&ce “What we must now do is \o restore good will In the world. I have been wondering what the very great American, Abraham Lincoln, would do In this juncture. I believe he would be thinking of what would advantage humanity, and not of what would aid the political party of which he was a member. Lincoln was humaii, not partisan. He knew the truth which Christ taught nineteen hundred years ago, that good-will Is the only possible foundation for peace and a real relationship between men or between nations.”—William Gibbs McAdoo.

the result of their homo training and inheritance. There are parents who consider their own personal ease and enjoyment more Important than teaching their little ones either borne duties or a regard for the property of others, and the fact that a woman gives birth to a child does not in itself make her an ideal mother. If it did, there would not be any woman's reformatories. Apparently, mothers have forgotten the Bible command, “Train up a child In the way he shall go.” (Prov. 22-6). That does not mean to let the child grow any way, like a weed, or to grow down, but It Is to be trained up. Do mothers remember the command, to teach the commandments to their children, “And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them, when thou slttegt In thine house; and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou Best down and when thou riseth up.” (Deut. C-7). Thou shalt not; you may If you want to. Alas, the day when most mothers made companions of their children and taught them home duties, has passed, long, long ago. This Is the age when many mothers will not even teach their children God's command; therefore, why should you expect the little ones to obey the landlords? There are mothers who will leave their Children w-ith anybody, friend or neighbor, who is not expected or privileged to correct or direct, and go down to shop, then go to the case for lunch, then to the show or card party, reaching home near supper time to find things in disorder and confusion and the children “out of sorts.” Nellie complains of Johnnie, and Johnnie of Nellie, and as so many things have happened since mother went away, Is Johnnie to blamo for not reporting that he cut his name on the window-sill, or had a wrestle with Tommy on the newly-polished ficor? Nobody ever told him not to do such things, not even the landlord; how did he know It w-as wrong? “Go for the mothers;” to whom God has given the little ones, to train for him. We read that Napoleon was once asked, "What is the greatest need of Franco?" aud he replied, "Mothers." What is the greatest need of America? “Mothers.” “Christian Mothers,” who

will train their children in all the duties of life and not expect a day school teracher and the Sunday school teacher to relieve her of that sacred duty. The child's borne privileges, habits and duties are known and understood by the mother,
