See the new shoes and oxfords, clothing, shirts and overalls, straw hats, dress goods, carpets, rugs, lace curtains, etc. Closing out the Chicago Bargain Store. A day or two before the Republican state convention was to meet, the Indianapolis Star (a Beveridge organ), declared that “orators at the Republican state convention should be disarmed at the door of any concealed weapons like the argument that the Payne bill was good enough for Beveridge to vote for.’’ Doubtless this was

aimed at such redoubtable “regulars” as James E. Watson, James A. Heminway and other Indiana stalwarts. But it would likewise exclude that eminent leader of the old guard, \\ illiam 11. Tait.

At the meeting of the Southern Indiana Teachers’ Association last week in Indianapolis the work being done under the new public accounting law was approved. The association has a large membership and it was estimated that 3,500 teachers. attended ;the meeting. But it is not educators alone who approve the public accounting law. Every taxpayer who understands the benefits of the law and the good that is being done approves it, and this is so whether he is a private citizen or an official. Practically all of the criticism (and there has been only a little) has grown out of a misunderstanding of the purposes of the law or has come from persons whose interests are contrariwise.

The Hon. Lucius B. Swift belongs to that persevering class of Republican mugwumps who are constantly giving the public large chunks of their minds and then vote their party ticket. Mr. Swift just now is appealing thunderously for public attention. He is for Beveridge, and asserts that the goblins, in the shape of Aldrich and others, are after him and’ll git him if the people don’t watch out. As the only difference between Beveridge and Aldrich is as- to the mere amount of the* tariff graft that should be legalized under the name of “protection,” it is not apparent why the people should be appealed to in Beveridge’s behalf. The people should be interested in sending a real champion of their interests —not only on the tariff question but on all questions —to the senate. This can only be done by sending a Democrat. President Taft has finally decided to call it all off, and not visit Indianapolis May 5. He wishes it understood, however, that the action of the late insurgent state convention has nothing to do with this decision —Mrs. Taft will have a garden party

May 6, and the president could not be therq without foregoing the pleasure of meeting the Hoosier insurgents. Now that’s all there it to it. At least so he says. ‘

The Democrats in the house the Other day gave the “insurgent’’.; Republicans another opportunity to show their courage and they again showed that they could not be depended upon to vote as they talk; A Democratic member submitted a proposition to repeal the Payne-Aldrich-Can-non tariff law. All of the Democrats present voted for it, but the “insurgents” lined up with the Cannon crowd. When they had a chance to crush Cannonism by joining the Democrats in the effort to oust Cannon from the speakership, they refused to take it and voted to keep Cannon inoffice. It is thoroughly underr stood in the country by this time that the Republican party has no real desire to get rid of Cannonism, Aldrichism and the other isms which have obtained a strangle-hold on congress and the government. Relief must come through the Democratic party or it will not come at all in this generation.
