And what hare " we "seen? Nothing
except the Idle dawdling over pet
measures by the House and abortive Inaction.
If the Senate had .not to its credit the sustaining of the county local
option law and a few other; things.
it would have given enough reason for its existence ' in its action in endeavoring to follow- ouc some of the wishes of the people and the governor in the matter of cutting down ruthless and slipshdd extravagance. In the - cutting down of appropriations the public can, never be sure that the right things are the ones
which are cut down. But of one thing
the public is . usually .right in believing; that when the state is in an almost bankrupt state and the legislature is Insistant upon a further reck
less expenditure, somebody has cut down 'the appropriations, be the cuts
wise or foolish. v
The republicans should be glad that the people of the state look to them to prevent the debauchery of the
treasury at ' the will of our peerless
representatives in the lower House.
Items Gathered in From Far and Near
v
. , , THE PRIMARIES'. The words of Senator Beveridge at
Indianapolis a little more than a week since were hailed all over the state- as i being indicative of a new era in the republican politics of the state. He laid , particular stress on the fact that the 'party must exist for the people and that the organisation or machinery of the party must ' exist for the partyHot vice-versa. No doubt those of the generations which played politics before Albert Beveridge came into the leadership will dismiss this with either sneer or a chuckle that that is a good saying to take in the public with. ; , But the recent defeat of most of the republican candidates in this state with Che exception of the presidential electors and two congressmen who ran ahead of the ticket must have beat it Into the heads of even the old timers that there is a new situation to face that cannot be met with the old tick ery and the appeal to party fealty. , in othef words the people of this state like the people all over the country' are coming to believe that the party lke every other thing with which they deal "MUST DELIVER THE X And hojr tan this be done? Can it (e done by trickery and by the boxing of primaries and the like? .: The principle of the square deal for which so many ; battle ' in all departments of life have been waged has struck, too deeply into the hearts and feelings of the people even the people of . Indiana for them to return with smiling and jubilant faces to the prospect of being done. If the republican party will supply the" demand for it Is nothing more
than a case of supply and demand the republican party , can get back: all ' its
lost ground, and it can hold it while it
1 holds to those principles.' - - f
it may well be that the local politic
ians will say .at the mayorality contest
- "Oh well this is only a local election. It doesn't count!
It they say that they are mistaken.
That.la the way that the ground is lost in the state and that la the reason we have a. democratic mayor in this city
today.-' r.
Ina simple case of a demand for good honest capable men the only way la to let the thing be fought out at the
primaries. . ? ' ;
"A1 free light for all and may the best
: man win." '
. The machine should keep its hands off the matter. If they do hot it will
take) years in this state to bring back confidence In the local republican' organisations be they as pure as the
morning dew.
And the coming mayorality election
prjmaries for the selection of the can
didates Is the place where it is going
to come up first in this community.;
-' It there Is crooked work if there Is
money, spent to debauch, if there is in
timidation, repeating, and all the com
mon or garden muck tricks of the prac
tical politics variety it will be a blow
to the recuperating republicanism of
this town. . . ' '
The beBt way. to make votes for the other party is to disregard the men in
your own and to disgust ; them with.
' your own methods. The other party
' may not be any better but it has at least the benefit of novelty and a change, . ThaVte what makes the inde
pendent voter.-
.WELL DONE. - -
' That little srio-comk tragedy and
cutting affray which has been going on In! regard to the expenses of., the state to the legislature may be anius
.. ing for those who care to look, at ft In that fight. At the same Urns' 1 la ' 'one of the idosV disgusting spectacles

li is the, privilege of all business
houses to change their employees and of school .boards to change any one under their employment when it is deemed to the advantage so to do.
Therefore, it Earlham College board
requests Professor Trueblood to resign, what right has Dudley Foulke to
accuse them of persecution, declaring
it would take his living from him and be worse than the persecution of olden
times in cutting oft a man's ears?
That liberty , of conscience, the spirit to act as one's conscience dictates, is
the beauty of the Society of Friends and removing him would be contrary and injurious to the society. It has been considered by other denominations that Friends were more strict in their' discipline than other protestant churches. . , ,
Was this not manifested when Dou-
gan Clark's living was taken from
him because he was baptised as his conscience dictated? Would a society
be consistent to retain a professor " in
their college that votes for tho law to grant the saloons the right to sell liq
uor? - Saloons considered the greatest distributing . , medium manufacturers
have. ''- Beesv r: Professor Trueblood thlnktthe school board-and. Friends have become fools to accept the state
ment that a strong temperance man can vote for a saloon? . That his con
science tells ( him blind, ,tigers are worse? Do not blind tigers exist now that saloons do? Is there not a law
prohibiting them providing for their punishment? Does one evil ' justify another? Because blind tigers exist, does this justify saloons to take the
aboring - man's earnings to purchase
the drug to make him a victim of delirium tremens? Breakers of the law
always exist. Murders are committed ,in spite of capital punishment, yet the law is unchanged; just so it should be rigidly enforced on blind tigers and
wipe out their existence, as is being
done in many places instead of vo.ting
for saloons to rob them of some of
their trade.
Judging from Dudley Foulke's , and
Professor Trueblood's remarks, ' one
would think.to.be called broad-mind
ed, Is one of the greatest compliments.
Beware of the man whom is termed broad-minded. Turn to the man with depth of soul, the. wise man. Christ tells the way to hell is broad and long
every man is privileged to choose it
or the narrow one to heaven. Every man has the exclusive right to vote as
he desires "By their fruits we shall
know them." some with the sheep, some with, the goats. The greater In
fluence a professor wields over his stu
dents, the more important this influ
ence should be. watched. Beware of
some broad minds free thinkers free
love progressive religion new skepticismanything pleasing to gain influence over young people. These new
higher educated, broad-minded men are quite suggestive of a dude on an
icy sidewalk.

T. P. A. Notes
nes to get all the new members possible. Elmer E. Lebo was In Indianapolis yesterday on a business trip.
Geo. R. Dilks left Wednesday for Washington city to attend the inauguration of President Taft.
TAVHEY SAID BE PROBALE CHOICE
Washington, March 6. From present indications, Representative Tawney is likely to be appointed to succeed Vice-President Sherman on the Important committee on rules. Although Mr. Shermon came from New York, the west claims the place as Mr. Sherman succeeded Grosvenor of Ohio on the committee and the the western delegation holds to the view that their own should be returned to them. Representative Mann of Illinois Is his most dangerous rival, but the objection to Mann is that he Is from the Speaker's own state.
Washington. March 6. President Taft continued his strenuousness today at the White House where several thousand or more patriots filled in and got the presidential grip. Every state in the union was represented in the mobile army of handshakers, and all creeds, color and races were there. The Taft smile was in fine working order. One of the arrivals was Senator Burke, of Nebraska, who escorted a group of Indians, who shook the band of the president. In this delega
tion of red men there were Alex B. Up-
chaw of the Crow tribe, Montana:
Thomas Sloan, Omaha tribe. Nebras
ka; Jas. Thorpe Sacs and fox; Ed
ward Butleyoung Ogallallah, Sioux,
and a halt dozen others. Goes to East Room.
Altogether the President shook
hands wltb more than 3,500 persons before he began his reception in 'the
executive offices, but the rush became
so great that he moved to the east
room where the stream of caller was Incessant for two hours. His last interview In the office was with Senator Aldrich of Rhode Ialand. the leader of the senate. This was a long one and while it was - in pro
gress the crowd piled up so that tha reception room was packed and many had to stand outside. -When the word was passed out that the East roam would be the scene of handshaking there was a grand rush for it. Had Nothing to 8ay. Mr. Aldrich refused to say anything regarding his Interview, but It was Understood that It had to do with the tariff. The President's only work, outside of the handshaking, was his conference with Aldrich and a brief talk with Mr. Nagel and Mr. Knox, two
of his cabinet members. The crowd of callers today were larger than that of yesterday and was described as the greatest throng that ever greeted a new president at the White House.
