THE DEFEA T OF JIM WA TSON. Yesterday in the Sixth Congressional District convention, Wayne ..County fought and won in a battle of principle! Wayne County took up the moral issue which faced Beveridge and the progressive Republicans now called Insurgents, and fought ' against the recognition of the Unseen Government as represented at the convention by Jim Watson, the tariff lobbyist. ' It was not a fight against persons," except as they happened for the moment to represent the forces which are throttling American life and institutions and the freedom of the people, which in turn means the prostitution of the Republican "party to the desires of special privilege. And in that fight Wayne County stood up for the belief and conviction of the menn the ranks of the party and won against the forces that sent James E. Watson into this district to deliver the "indorsement of the Sixth Congressional District by manipulation,, and lobbying, even - as he has manipulated legislation In the House 'of Representatives as Whip and Lobbyist. .

The Defeat of Aldridge. Prom the New York Tribune. The defeat of Mr, Georga W. Aid rldse in the special congressional elec
tlon in Rochester may be partly due to a temporary reaction against the republican party , of which some observers profess to discover evidences, but it is almost entirely the result of
the moral issues presented in bis candidacy. It was to these, more partic
ularly to the recently disclosod inci
dent of the Kennedy fire insurance check, that Rochester responded. The explanations of leading republicans in the district of their support of Mr. Havens almost Invariably turned upon that incident, and they sufficiently
show what was uppermost In the pub
lic mind- The nomination of Mr. Al
dridge with that Incident so fresh in
recollection was only another illustration of the utter failure of many politicians to appreciate public sentiment
It was calculated tc Invite just such
an overturn in the politics of the district as has taken place. , The result is not to be regretted. To a party
bent on purging itself of legislative scandals, the election to a high place
of one who either personally,' or as
the representative of a party commit
tee, participated In the traffic in legis
lation would have been embarrassing.
What sent Watson into this district? ' "v. The same reason that kept him in Washington when out of Congress. ' ;' ' ' The same reason that Bent him to Rushville in February.
At ConnersvIUe, as at Rushville, he labored day, and night and day, for resolutions which would fully Indorse the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. You know what happened at Rushville, how Wayne County, through its representative on the resolutions committee fought against the Indorsement of the Payne-Aldrich law 'and the dictation of. certain great Interests as to what the Republicans of this district should put in their resolutions. 1 . ' At that time Jim Watson secured a victory not all he wanted it is true, but he smiled as he obtained the indorsement of the tariff as "A COMPLETE REDEMPTION OF THE PLEDGE MADE BY OUR NATIONAL CONVENTION AND OF THE PROMISES OF OUR CANDIDATE."
That is what Jim Watson wanted this time but he did not get it. "WB COMMEND THE PROTECTIVE FEATURE- (OF THE PAYNE TARIFF LAW AND WHILE WE DO NOT APPROVE OF ALL ITS SCHEDULES, WE DEEM IT A MARKED IMPROVEMENT FOR PRESENT. CONDITIONS OVER THE DJNGLEY LAW." r ' It is a big difference between Jim Watson's Rushville caucus which declared the tariff law a "complete redemption" and the ConnersvIUe resolutions which commended the' protective feature and say that they do not approve of the extortionate schedules contained In the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. And lest there be any mistake' or quibble about the word protection: "We believe In a protective tariff measured by the difference between the cost of production here and abroad AND THAT DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE ASCERTAINED WITH THE UTMOST SPEED AND EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION ENACTED ACCORDINGLY." ' ' ' , What a difference between that and the creed of Jim Watson, tariff, lobbyist and his "complete redemption of the pledge" of the Republican party and Its presidential candidate!
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri
ca's foremost humorist and known the
world over as Mark Twain, was born
in the little town of Hannibal, Mo., on i
November 30. 1833.

The Changing 8enate. From the New York Sun.
Death and resignation have made great changes in the United States Senate during the last five or six
years, and now comes the report that
the Hon. Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode
Island and the Hon. Eugene Hale of Maine will retire at the expiration of
their present terms, March 3. 1911
Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts died In
1904, Mr. Piatt of Connecticut in 1905
and Mr. Allison of Iowa in 1908, and in
1901 Mr apooner ,or Wisconsin re-
, signed. These were among the great names in the Senate, as are those of Mr. Hale and Mr. Aldrich today, Long - and useful service commends such men as leaders, and the business of thr Senate is really conducted ,by them. It Is of course idle and flippjant to say that any one man controls, and directs the affairs of the Sonate. Leadership is nominal, and it is a group of tried veterans who shape legislation, the men at the heads of the big committees, who are masters of practice and precedent.
Defense of the Third Degree. . From the Hartford Times. Employment of the so-called "third degree" in extracting information from persons accused of serious crime was defended by police officials at the meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in Philadelphia yesterday. ; Police .Superintendent Baker of New York and Maj. Sylvester of Washingtea pronounced the "third degree" a myth, and strongly , defended the sharp 'questioning of a person charged
with a serious offense. They insist that there's no punishment or torture, either mental or physical, in the pro
cess as generally applied. It it hadn't
been for the series of loaded lnterro-
' gation points hurled at Bertram O

The ConnersvIUe resolutions In their slap at the tariff uphold the position of Senator Beverldge and not that of Jim Watson. After disapproving the schedules of pillage and extortion in the Payne-Aldrich law and advising care 'to prevent injustice and oppression to American consumers," nay even advising the creation of a tariff commission immediately, and demanding that legislation should be enacted accordingly where is Jim Watson's position? ' ' , , No wonder that James E. Watson fidgeted In his room across the hall from that In which the resolutions committee was meeting and had one after the other of his men on the committee taken Into his room. He tried to endorse the tariff he labored with thetn long. Every sort of influence which might be effective was used by Watson. r ? ; '- Wayne county, with the help of Franklin, Fayette and Hancock, fought against a full endorsement of the tariff law the sort of endorsement that Watson wanted and won. T"'":l So James E. Watson can not send word to the men in the East who are so anxiously awaiting news of his labors, that the Sixth Congressional District regards the Payne-Aldrich tariff law as a "complete redemption of the party pledges" nor can he or any other man truthfully, make the statement that this district in convention assembled, did .not support Beveridge's position. And the people of Wayne County the Republicans of Wayne County, have won a victory which will be looked at not alone In Indiana in the other districts, but which will be heard in Washington. They fought and won in a battle for a principle and on a moral Issue. '

But while he gained a vast amount
of experience during his travels,

unprofitable, from a financial standpoint, and he was finally compelled to return to his home along the banks of the great river, in .rather straitened circumstances.'
Desired to be a Pilot The life as a steamboat pilot bad
always appealed to his youthful imagination and now that he had grown to manhood, he resolved to realize his ambition. He was fortunate enough
to become a pupil of Horace Bixby,

The idea of his becoming an author
had never entered his mind at that
time, but he absorbed enough of the pilot lifeto enable him to describe the difficulties encountered in guiding a boat along ; the great river in his "Life Along the Mississippi River"

Give rein to the garden sense if it is stirring in you. for It will bring you happiness. Gardening is the most democratic of all occupations and the flower, the shrub and the vine are the special luxuries of the poor. The queen with her Scotch gardner has only earth to dig In when she plants a rose. Jahe has to depend on for its growth, only sunshine such as seeks the utmost corner of your little back
yard. . N6 matter how tiny may be the strip of ground. Around your dwelling something will grow there if yon will gire it a chance and that thing will make you happier and better if you will allow it to. Cannot men and women learn that a little home vinecovered and surmounted 1 by thick green grass looks happy and' that any place gains a sense of opulence by having a hedge and a rose blooming at its portal.: This is not sentiment; it is plain common sense, grass and shrubs and flowers . are practical things; and if our natures are raised a notch or two they become necessities. It is well with us and our posterity when things of beauty, simple cleanliness and pleasant external effects are a need of our being.

This garden competition . manifestly achieved "good neighborship," kindliness, sympathy helpfulness, from one human being toward another, be they of equal social rank or unequal.
