We notioe that all of the government employes from the postmasters down to the “sweepers” are working hard for Taft. Hurryough for Taft.—Brook Reporter (Rep.)

W ith the help of his Rood friend, Vice-President Fairbanks, ex-Congressman Cromer qf—'tb©' Eighth distriot has routed bis enemies—but for the time being, perhaps. When the other faotion gets its breath there is likely to be something doing.

. R. G. Dun & Co.’s annual “report of failures” shows that in 1907 there were 132 failures among banking institutions, involving $232,325,972. During the year before there were 58 failures for $18,805,380, The failures in all other lines of business during 1907 were also very largely in excess of those occurring in 1900.

— * A year ago the Republican leaders eaid that they didn’t dare reform the tariff because it would hurt business. Well, it wouldn’t hurt it now, would it? But the Republicans have no intention of reforming the tariff, either no# or later. Even the talk about a commission of Aperts to study the question is without sincerity. Its sole purpose is to deceive and daisy. :

It is a sad thing to see so many of that noble army of oountrysavers and national honor defenders crowding the bankruptcy courts. No one gloats over their misfortunes. They were mistaken when they said in 1896 that Democratic success would ruin the oountry. They were mistaken when they said that Republican success would guarantee a continuous prosperity. Their views, in the light of what has happened, should have been exactly the reverse of what they were. And many of them will now admit it. A Philadelphia diapatoh says that lOOstreetcars running through the laboring districts of the city have been taken out of service and that fifty more will be taken off the lines in s few days. This action is dne to the falling off in travel. Most Philadelphia laboring men have grown so wealthy daring the unexampled and unparalleled Republican prosperity wbioh they have enjoyed, that they have bought private automobiles in whioh they go to and from their work At least this will probably be the Repnblioan explanation of the matter. , J

When you see the Indianapolis News “regretting” that there are “divisions” in the Democratic party, joet remember that there are no divisions in the Demooratio party. And remember, also that the Indianapolis News is a Republican paper, wbioh has never supported a Democratic state or national ticket.'and that it is doing all it can all the time to create “divisions” among Democrats by persistent publication of all sorts of fakes and falsehoods. A united Democratic party ie the one thing above all others that the Indianapolis News is opposed to. And that is why it is so unhappy now.

Roosevelt’s latest message to oongreee, wherein he assails predatory wealth,” the bankers and trust barons, would be amusing were it not so silly. If Roosevelt expects the public to take any stock in his protestations of goodness he should return the stolen goods only partially concealed upon his own person, in the way of Cortelyon, the personal representative of these interests, whom he has in hie cabinet, and the campaign contributions which Judge Parker charged he was receiving in the last presidential campaign and which charges were conclusively proven true when the insurance investigation was made.

And now comes Hughes of New York as a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. He is governor just now, and has a front name that is common enough and good enough if one could only recall what it is. But at any rate, Hughes is governor of New York and has a fine set of whiskers which he parts in the middle and combs carefully baok toward his ears. The most important thing, however, about -Hughes is the character ot the support he has. It is even more important than his mysterious, oyster-like “conservatism.” The head machinist of the Hughes combination is one Odell, who is the political Tight hand of one Harriman. From which it is not unjustly concluded that Hughes is Harriman’s candidate. This looks all the more reasonable when it is remembered that Harriman dislikes Roosevelt, who is trying to get the New York delegates for Taft. And then, too, Hughes vetoed a 2-cent fare bill for the railroads.

SUPPRESSING HANLY.

One of the most remarkable things in recent political history is the collapse of Governor Hanly as a force in the Republican party. The attitude of his party toward him has been almost completely reversed. Two years ago he was practically the whole thing. What he asked was granted. He dictated the state platform, planned the oampaign and made himself the most conspicuous figure in it. His party suffered tremendous losses at the election and barely saved the legislature- But Hanly gathered up the fragments and claimed them as bis own. He pointed out whom be wanted for speaker and for the chairmanships of the principal committees. He was allowed to have bis way in these things. Then he issued orders as to what he wanted the legislature to do. And then war was begun on him by members of his own party. His bills were defeated, his advioe flouted, and hie further leadership rejected. When the legislature adjourned there was an open breach between the governor and a large element in his party. Since that time the breach has grown wider, At the reoent distriot meetings all passed resolutions indorsing Fairbanks, the senators and representatives in congress, the national and state chairman, but Hanly, the governor of the state, was feebly referred to by only four conventions. The Republican editorial association snubbed him, The snub was emphasized by invitations to others while he is ignored. The slight was intentional and premeditated. He was not

wanted. On every hand there is evidence that there is a determination by the leadership of the Republican party of Indiana to kill him off and to keep him killed off. For the sake of apparent harmony he will be allowed to go as a delegate to the national convention and to make speeches in the campaign, but otherwise be iB to be suppressed. He strutted too' fiercely. While he was on the stage there was no room for others. That is why the trapdoor was opened beneath him.

STATE BANQUET TO BRYAN

The Indiana Democratic Club of Indianapolis, a state organization, announces a banquet at the Claypool Hotel in that oity on Monday night, February 17, in honor of William J. Bryan, who makes the address of the evening. As it is probable that this will be Mr. Bryan’s last speech in Indiana prior to the national convention, the club desireß to give as large a number as possible an opportunity to be present. But as the big halls were not obtainable for the occasion, it was decided to give the dinner at the Claypool, where the great dining-room will accommodate 700 guests. No invitations will be issued but any Democrat in the state will be gladly welcomed and tiokets will be supplied as asked for up to the oapaoity of the tables. It is hoped by the club that hundreds of Democrats out in the state will be present. The prioe of the tiokets is $2.00, and they may be obtained from 0. McKillip, secretary of the olub, by addressing him at the club rooms, Western Union Building, Indianapolis, Ind. No tiokets will be sold in excess of the seating oapaoity of the dining-room.

COMMUNICATED.

As the time for electing new officers is drawing close at hand, I would like to make a few suggestions through the paper: In the first instance, we should term the “Christian Pulpit” the upper house in the parliament of world politics, and we kindly und through an interested Christian spirit ask our good ministers to use every influence before their hearers to show them their duty toward votingfor clean, moral men. Men that will see that the laws are obeyed. I suggest searching the city and county over and induce some one that we can rely on to do what they, under oath, say they will do, and not forget it after they get the office. Law enforcement means an enforcement of the present laws and not an agitation for the enactment of new laws. That man in my estimation spoke the truth when he said that the greatest anarchist in all the land is the one who gets into office and will not enforce the laws. The man in official position who refuses to enforce the law is advocating treason and nullification. The crimes are numerous in cities that are not strictly governed by law. The conflict is on now; a contest between the ohurch and saloon. The contest is not against the saloon keeper as much as the breweries; for the brewers are backing the saloon-keeper, therefore the oontest is more against the wealth of the brewer, and as long as the present condition of lawbreaking prevail we oannot expect very much of our coming generation of voters, for many of them are visiting the gambling dens and we understand the oup is not eliminated: The question is (and should be looked into by our officers) Where do they get this drink? We do not want our splendid ministers to feel that we are trying to dictate for them but we want every one that can vote to consider this matter well and consider that before we have a better civic government in the oities of our nation we must divorce municipal politios from national politios, and also arouse public sentiment so that the business man will leave bis business and go to the primaries as well as to the polls and consider what he is doing for his son and fqr his neighbor’s son also, as well as for our dear girls that will some day be companions for f aha hnvo I hope this little “epistle” of mine will be accepted by all in a Christian spirit and would also like if our good editor will permit, hear some disonssions on this Bubjeot through the paper. In that way it will be far reaohing toward revolutionizing our country, A Friend,
