OtHdlal Democratic Paper of Jaapar County. Entered at the Post-office at Rensselaer, Ind aa second clan matter. Offloe on Van Ronaaoiaar Street, SATURDAY, MAY 18,1907.

Louisville has begun ap active fight for the Democratic national convention of 1908, Several cities will ask for the great gathering, but Louisville believes in getting an early start in the race. When Governor Hanly returns from Atlantio City thoroughly restored to health, those enemies within his party who were kicking him while he was down should either get ready to fight or take to the woods.

Have you noticed how insignificant a mere dollar is in these days of unexampled, unparalleled and underfed prosperity? Perhaps yon have not thought much about it if you have been able to make two dollars grow where only one grew before. The high cost of living makes that extra dollar

If one man’s farm is worth $5,000, how many farms at that price will it take to pay the extra $320,000 appropriated by the late legislature for new offices and higher salaries in the state government alone? Only sixty-four. And it will take only twelve hundred to pay the total $6,000,000 appropriated by that legislature. To pay the total apiiropriations of the late congress it will take 3,600 farms worth $5,000 each. These simple figures give some idea of what the Republican party is costing the people.

It looks exceedingly strange that the persons having the selection of the committees for the oeremonies attending the unveiling o&the Lawton monument at Indianapolis on Memorial Day could not find a Democrat. Every place is filled by a Republican, and it looks as if the whole thing was to be merely a Republican meeting. But then Lawton himself was a Democrat, and so were all of the principal heroes of the Spanish war—Dewey, Schley, Hobson, Lawton, Miles, Ensign Bagley, the first to lose his life, and many more. The Indianapolis Sun, a Republicanjpaper, which is owned, it is understood, by George F. McCulloch of Muncie, former ohairman of the Republican state committee, cartoons Fairbanks as a dollarmark candidate. The same paper also prints about everything it oan get hold of showing that the V. Pi would be an unfit candidate. Among other things, it had a column the other day about Mr. Fairbanks 9 babitjof using government employesjto do his personal work whils|they are£drawing their pay

from the public treasury. But is that “an-Repablican” ? It certainly would be un-Demooratic.

WARM TIMES AHEAD.

In order to eeoure an endorsement of hie “polioiee,” and incidentally the nomination of himself or hia candidate by the next Republican convention, Mr. Roosevelt announces that he is going to knock the heads off of all "favorite son” candidates in the different states. He doesn’t mean to allow any state to come forward with a straw man. And what will happen to that straw man if be does come forward will be a sight worth seeing.

Mr. Roosevelt it onto the "favorite son" game. He has seen it in operation and he doesn’t think it is square. And he has a mighty poor opinion of most of the “favorite sons” themselves. Some of them are personally sincere, perhaps, but woefully misguided. According to the Indianapolis Star the president thinks Mr. Fairbanks is sincerely a candidate. And Fairbanks is. He was never as sincere about anything in his life. It’s absurd, of course, but the V. P. doesn’t seem to know it, though nearly everybody else does.

But even in the case of Fairbanks the “favorite son” dodge is not to be permitted to interfere with the Roosevelt plan of battle. If the Indiana Republicans want to make themselves ridiculous by endorsing a “reactionary,” a “mollycoddle” or a conspirator,” Mr. Roosevelt will let them do it, but with a string attached. A Washington dispatch says:

“It is the president’s purpose to seek a second choice declaration for Taft in Indiana. The Roosevelt managers will conduct an organization in Indiana with this end in view. They will seek to secure diana state convention of a resolution which will declare in effect that if the nomination of Mr. Fairbanks should become impossible, the Indiana delegation will support Tafft.” Mr. Roosevelt will see to it that the nomination of Fairbanks becomes impossible.” Thousands of Indiana Republicans will help him build up his counter organization. Mr. Fairbanks will be immortalized, immolated and immured. And when it is all over he will wonder what happened.

THE PRESIDENT’S INDIANAPOLIS SPEECH.

It is hardly worth while to speculate about what President Roosevelt will say in his Indianapolis speech on May 30 That he intends to talk about the railroads seems to bo settled, but whether he will add to or subtract from what he has said on former pcoasions is not so certain. The newspaper correspondents at Washington say, however, that Mr. Roosevelt will not deolare for government ownership of the railroads. All he wants, as the correspondents understand it, is that a government bureau shall be created with power to control the finances of the roade. With the Interstate Commerce Commission controlling the rates and another government agency controlling the stocks and bonds, with power to grant or withold licenses to operate, the private owners of the railroads will have nothing to bother them save the running of the trains, making necessary repairs and building new tracks and Buoh like.

This is a great scheme. Under it the government will be practioally the owners of the railroads without going to the expense of buying them or being liable for the cost of operating them. Of course we do not know that this is precisely what President Roosevelt is driving at. No one ever knows precisely what he is driving at, but he is usually driving at something or somebody. At any rate the Washington correspondentsare positive from the “inklings that creep out of the White House,*' that Mr. Roosevelt is gqing to disagree with Mr. Bryan. On this point a dispatch says: “Bryan has often said that his ideas as to the ultimate solution of

of the railroad problem are identical with those of Roosevelt. The president will try to show that there is a wide gulf between them; that what he is aiming at is a mild remedy compared to the radicalism which Bryan stands for, and that the country should aocept the safe and practical solution which he offers as an . alternative to the confiscation of railroad properties and government ownership, with its long train of evils.” No ‘'confiscation” for Theodore. He stands for “benevolent assimilation,” perhaps. He means to take the railroads and yet make the real owners run them and take are of their own “long train of evils.” Mr. Bryan and most other persons are not particular who operates the railroads,! hough they prefer regulated private ownership. But what Mr. Bryan and most other persons want is to see that whole “train of evils” abolished and made impossible in the future.
