The Hon, James E. Watson has served notice that he intends to make speeches in Indiana regardless of the wishes of Mr. Beveridge's state organization. And he lias also made it plain that he intends to peel as much hide off of the insurgents as he can.

It is not at all strange that the Republican state organization should be worried about the attitude of several eminent regulars. These men took no part in Mr. Beveridge’s convention and therefore, doubtless, feel free to do as they please during the campaign. When any particularly good proposition in congress has been carried agaijist tlte vote- of the Republicans, the antiregular Republican papers announce the fact in big headlines, thus.: ‘'lnsurgents Win Big Victory.” The fact is, of course, that the Democrats furnished nearly all of the votes and won the victor}' with the aid of a few insurgents.

--• ' John G. Woolley, a former candidate of the Prohibition party for president; comes to the front with the statement.that that party has outlived its usefulness. Is it possible that Woolley has been won over by that rival organization, the Anti-Saloon

League, which, according to the leading Indiana Prohibitionist, Felix T. McWhirter, “has no members,” but only salaried officers ?

When a leading Republican, writing about Senator Beveridge, says that “ingratitude, treachery' and (the swelled head may hurt this chances.” he cannot be classed as an enthusiastic supporter. And when still other leading Republicans are willing to go on record as saying that "he thinks he is bigger than his party.” that there is “too much 1" about him, hat he overflows with ‘‘egotism’’ and many other similarly disparaging things, it is clear that he has succeeded in leaving a bad taste in the mouths of many persons in his party.

The defenders of the PayneAldrich tariff are now saying that !tariffs do not increase prices. If this is so. what is meant bv tariff jfor "protection” and why should anyone want it? But it does increase prices and does it outrageously. As Champ Clark, Democratic leader in the national house, saiid: "Not only the suit of clothes, but everything else that the workingman uses, has [gone up in price. The denim overalls that he formerly purchase 1 for 50 cents are now 75 cents, and his cotton shirt has advanced from 50 cents to 75 cents and SI. He is still offered a 50-cent shirt, but it is made of a poor flimsy fabric in which he really cannot afford to invest if he has the price of better quality.”

The effort of_ the Indiana Beveridge organs tp niake it appear that the failure the people to re-elect Beveridge to the United. States senate will mean that they have been bought up by “the interests” and are unfit for selfgovernment, is most tiresomely silly. What the people of Indiana want is a man in the senate who, like Senator Shively, will vote for all of the measures that will benefit the masses and against all of the measures designed to confer special favors and privileges on a few persons. Such a mail is John \V. Kern. Mr. Beveridge has himself been the beneficiary of “the interests.” He stands right now forjnany things that these same interests want and for very little that the people want. The people of Indiana will show good sense, good judgment and a thorough knowledge of the real situation by returning Beveridge to private life.

STRAW VOTING BEGUN

The Cincinnati Enquirer, which ceased to be a Democratic or even a near-Democratic paper. has taken the pains to get the political views of 1.500 Indiana voters, or as the paper puts it. “1.500 of the leading men oi both parties in the state of Indiana. chosen not on account of their political a ffl liations. but because of their intimacy witn business and social conditions in their respective communities." It is apparent from a reading of the replies set out that a large majority of the 1.500 are Republicans. and yet only 306 say ‘that Taft's administration is giving satisfaction, while 920 say that it is not. and the rest are doubtful. On the other hand 1.110 say that Governor Marshall’s administration is a popular success, while only 174 sav no. and the rest are in doubt. W ith respect to the inquiry: “W ill Beveridge be re-elected?" the Enquirer gives the following synopsis of the vote: 7 -.--, -/■

/‘The verdict of the replies is that he will not, or, at least, that his josition is dangerously precarious. Of those who expressed themselves .€4B. or 45 per cent of the whole, aid that he would be returned. Those who took the opposite view Vere 504, or 36 per cent. Those who 6aid that the re-election was doubtu! were 256, or 18 per "cent of the whole. In other words. Beveridge s. ie t in the minority. It is made t ear by those in the negative and !i • : expressing doubt that Bever-

dgr.’s 'danger arises from the fact hat he Js , regarded a:- being in opositipn to the Republican national i 1 ministration and out of harmony vith the doer rine of a high protecl.ve tariff. Egotism is charged againtt him in set and 'Severe terms. Others attribute the doubt to the f> e of the Republican state organization. Ever recurring as elements of .probable disaster are the tames of former Senator Hemenway, Congressman James Watson and •farmer Vice President .Charles W. Fairbanks. As in the matteruf High living, it is a striking fact that a great many Republicans who voted favorably as to the Taft administration asserted that Beveridge would te defeated or that his re-election

'!*as an unsettled question.” “Of the more than 1,500 replies ecehred, 1,108 unreservedly asserted that It was not satisfactory to the jeople. This is about 80 per cent f the whole number. Those in the ffirmative were 192 and it was by xtreme liberality upon the part of he compiler that even this, sum .as reached. Fully 30 per cent of he number of writers qualified their fiirmation by saying that there was o general complaint and that the ituation was being bettered through learer knowledge. Others insisted tat it was merely a noisy minority hat was against the measure. Of hose who were in complete doubt r had no expression to make, there • ere 120. There should be no ainsaying the fact that the maoritv recorded was emphatic and igorous. * * * That it will eriously impede Republican victory a the state is a concession that is reely made.

VOTE AGAINST TARIFF.

Republican Editors In the East Are Dead Against It. Republican newspapers in the east are even less pleased with itje. s jnew tariff law than are their-•western .conA t ’ -e-v-rk' temporaries. • ■y-;-■-This was made evident by a poll of editors taken by the Chicago Tribune shortly after a similar poll of western papers taken a few weeks ago The question asked in each instance was. “Do you indorse the Aldricb-Cannon tariff?” To tins question the New England editors replied as follows: For the law—39 Republicans and 3 independents; total. 42 Against the law—lß4 Republicans and r»7 independents: total. 241. In the eastern (Atlantic! states which are not included in New England the vottug Was: For the law—Republicans. 142: independents. 13: total. 155. Against the law— Republicans. 400: independents. 142; total. 54S Putting these figures together for both Republicans and independents, the voting against the law throughout the Whole eastern division is about 4 to I This significant result, together with the election of a Democrat in place ot a Republican in Massachusetts, is enough to show the general disgust which the new tariff has inspired eveD in the Republican ranks

Mr. Taft Should Know That It's Dangerous to Wave a Red Flag In Front of a Bull.

German Gleanings.

Germany’s aerial navy already contains fourteen vessels. ‘All the large match factories of Germany have pooled their issues under an agreement binding until 1920. Anybody who wears a haqiiu in the streets or public places of Hanover. Prussia, is liable under the law to arrest and line. Germany is a |>etroleum produeer on a small scale. Thirty wells in 1909 yielded crude oil to the amount of 113.518 tons of 2,204 pounds each.

A True Prophecy.

Senator Gore of Oklahoma would disclaim the title of prophet, but he certainly showed true prophetic wisdom when the Payne-Aldrieh tariff bill was being put through. Speaking in the senate on Aug. 5, 1909. a few minutes before the final passage of the bill, he said: “I anticipate a perfect saturnalia of high prices during the coming months. The panic and the cessation of business have but whetted .the avarice of manufacturers and monopolists.”
