To the democracy of Henry county belongs the credit of having held the i est rnee'ing attempted by any county political organization in Indiana since the election of 1914. The attendance was limited to the first 1 '<> acceptances, that 'was the capacity of the largest available banquet hall in New- Castle. Every seat was t aken and tbh a pproval oi the audience, when addresses were n ede by Charles W. Munch, State Auditor Dale .1. Critienb -r > r and Congressman John A. VI. Adair, was shown with enthusiasm. Democratic prosperity as ex< mnlified in E e city of New Castle arid Henry County” was the . subject discussed by Mr- Mouch. inanulact'irer, banker and farmer. Auditor Crittenherger told about state finances apd Congressman Adair dealt with national issues, declaring the standpat republicans have neither state nor national issue to stand upon. Delega t ion § ’To m Con nersvi lie, RushvilleRichmond, and other cities went home to prepare similar dinners, and four hundred substantial men went out from this meeting to fight 'or democracy.

rhe report of the federal bureau o employment at Indianapolis which Las been, opened in an effort to find men to fill the places offered, reports a great scarcity of men. This confirms the reports that railroads have not been able to secure men on construction work. The same thing is true of public contracts. Kokomo, New Castle, Gary, Evansville, Columbia City and other cities all over Indiana are enjoying substantial business growth, and prosperity* such, as they never before knew, and when the republicans tried to get the workingmen of South Bend to come tq their district burgoo and bunco love'feast and hear talks about soup houses and calamity, the-men were so busy enjoying prosperity that “nobody came to the meeting." The staudpat press and orators have nothing to talk about but “what will we dq when the war isover.” Present condition of state finances

is a bitter dose for the standpat Republicair press of Indiana to swallow. In his talk to the Henry county democracy the other night, State Auditor Dale J. Crittenberger gave some figures worth thinking about. He told how William H O'Brien, the Democratic auditor assuming office in January 1911, had inherited from the Republicans over-due unpaid debts and bills amounting to $ 1,094,000. How the Republicans, while accumulating this debt, had been using a general fund of twelve cents. How the Democrats, since January 1911, have had a general fund of seven cents and have paid off every penny of this Republican debt, and how the state today has not a debt Or bill that is due and unpaid. That this record has not been shown by any other administration since 1 832,

; The democratic state central committee has taken up the work of • ting that every district, county, township ami precinct in Indiana is thoroughly organized for continuous and active campaigning from now until after the 1916 election. Detailed reports have been asked and are being received from all the precinct committeemen, and the business of the state committee will be simply td keep the facts concerning the state and national administrations before the people. When the voters know the facts the democratic majority will take care of itself.

WALT MASON The Poet Philosopher

To work is good, to saw your wood, while yet the sun is shining, td make the hoe move to and fro, here pumpkin vines are twining, ’•or men who shirk all useful work are never happy mortals’ by any ham e- they do not dance and fill |Hie air with chortles. But don’t, my lad, make work a fad. the end and aim of living; lor every day some time to play all toilers should be giving. In this broad land we l ent the band, the way we hump and hustle; we keep Up steam and work and scheme, and wear out mind and .muscle. While young in years, above our ears the gray of age is showing; it would be be&t to stop and rest, but still we keep on going. Then something snaps—the brain, perhaps—beyond all cures or patches, and we are shown to walls of fctone r to cells in booby hatches. To work is grand, but stay your hand, when comes the 1 evening play-time; take in (toe show s and things like those, and leave your tasks for daytime.

Newspapers Should Not Uphold Crooked Officials.

One of the things about politics is that some men who get into office and get crooked, don’t quite understand why their party doesn’t back them up in their crookedness. Esi pecially i 8 this true of their feeling toward party papers. They think a newspaper should support them regardless of what they may do. But the time is fast coming when party papers will be so independent of politics they will not support a man who has ever been crooked in anything. It's a safe bet that a crooked

civilian will be a crooked official, and it will be up to the party papers to see to it that a crooked civilian (no matter. how loyal a party man he may be) is not nominated. It may be a bit out of “tune” for a paper to “dip in” helping its party select a ticket at the primary but it is a duty it owes to the people and its party, to keep dishonest men from office, and the only way it can do that is to take a hand in the primaries. Anyway, a newspaper is expected to support its party ticket after it is made, and we never could understand why it should not “take* a hand” in its making. The editor has just the same right to line up for or against some particular man as has the professional politician. The politician never hestitates to get in the fight for his friends (who, more than likely is not a friend to the editor) and there is no reason at all why an editor shouldn't get in the fight for his friend, but always keeping in mind the fact that that friend must be a clean, capable man.

After a ticket is made it is up to the editor to “whoop’er up” and the sironger the “whoop’er” the better the candidates like it. Some of the candidates, after the election, if successful, join the opposition and assist in giving their party editor the proverbial “swift kick.” It is this “swift kick" that is making “whooping 'er up” about a thing of the past. If a newspaper is good enough (‘ services satisfactory,” you know) to make the fight for the party candidate, (and “unsatisfactory’’ afterward) it certainly should be gooenough to get the patronage of these candidates when they become office holders. If not, we do not know by what line of ..argument the office holders can make themselves believe the paper should give them “undying support,’' even when they tote fair with the taxpayer.—Bedford Democrat.
