SIN. It Is often said that the modern world has loat the aenae of sin. Unto doubtedly. in the- minds of multitudes the consciousness of sin Is fsint. We are living In rushing and hsrrsssing dsys when we bsve so msny. things to think about that thoughts of our relations to Ood are crowded out. Many a man who knows what crime Is, seems to be Ignorant of the character of sin; Crime Is a violation of human law, and, as such violation is punishable la human courts, even the dullest mortal comes to fear it. Sin is an offense against the Eternal Spirit, and, aa it does not come under the ayes of the policeman, many a man concerns himself with It not at all. Dr. C. E. Jefferson.

The business of "being a congressman" or of being a physician or a farmer or of being a druggist or piano player can ba taxed, but we doubt if . the business of being a drawer of interest payments or dividends on stocks could be taxed, because it is not a business at all.

rtEj rendering It Incurable.
We have heard from a reliable source that there Is just one man who is for Taft In the Hooslar Drill plant outside of the office. This sounds unbelievable rbut who is be?
Rebuke The Debauch.
The debauch called a primary In Indianapolis may have secured every delegate but six to the Taft cause but it will lose the state to the Republicans unless some other man than Mr. Taft is nominated. No matter what the politics of the state of Indiana may be, people like fair play. If Harry Wallace and Joe Kealing had even allowed men friendly to Roosevelt to see that those votes that were cast were put into the ballot boxes and then accurately counted a great many people would have overlooked the obvious use of money, the repeaters, the use of the city machinery but there is only one meaning when watchers are not allowed. Every man and woman in Indiana, where politics is a household topic of conversation, knows that to keep watchers away from the counting of ballots is merely to steal the count. If Joe Kealing thinks that he can carry on this sort of thing all over the state in executing the orders which he receives from the Taft-Cannon bureau he will strike one snag at least. When he comes to Wayne County he will And several thousand men who are willing to make an extra effort to go to the ward meetings to rebuke him. The ward meeting is not the most satisfactory form of expressing popular will but it is certain that there will be enough men out to make the ward meetings of Richmond ideal compared with the stolen primary of Indianapolis. Prophecy is poor business in politics but the people here will have entirely changed in a brief space of time if they do not rebuke Joe Healing's boss tactics in Indianapolis and turn out to defeat any emissaries that he a may have trying to pull off the same thing in Richmond. We understand that this is merely a business arrangement with Kealing and Wallace of Indianapolis but the men of the Hoosier Drill, Gaar. Scott & Company, and the Starr Piano company the representative citizens of town and country in this county who furnish the votes don't do business that way.
Mr. Taffs Attitude. Mark Sullivan of Collier's asks: If the plain voter is capable of choosing between Taft and Wilson, assuming that they should be the candidates, why isn't he also capable of choosing between Taft and Roosevelt? In Indiana our answer would be "Ask Joe Kealing!" Joe Kealing, Harry Wallace. Lew Shank. Delavan Smith of Chicago, and his representative in Indianapolis, Dick Smith, can tell the reason. Their answer is "Ask Taft." If William Howard Taft wished to test our the feeling of trust and public confidence inspired by his three years in the Vhite House he could have done so. We are told that Mr.Taft took the position of chief executive with reluctance, that he would rather have been chief justice, that he did not care for any executive office. His press bureau which offers to deliver any amount of plate matter free of cost if this paper will print it avows that the Taft sentiment in Indiana and all over the country is overwhelming, we are told that he is growing in popularity everyday. It would seem that under these circumstances there can be no personal or political reason why the people could not be allowed the presidential preference primary. m William Howard Taft has been challenged to submit his name to the tes.t of the primary and instances too overwhelming are already pouring in to show why he has not accepted Ihe challenge. Every Republican whether progressive or reactionary knows the reason now. Mr. Taft's strength does not lie with the men in the ranks but with the federal office holders, with corrupt political machines, with men who are enemies of free and untrammelcd government. There is only one thing to be drawn from this that William Howard Taft would rather have the nomination than to be sure of his party's success at the polls. That he would rather split the party by railroading himself Into office than to allow the Republicans to pick out a candidate themselves.
Good Business.
Not even so prejudiced a person as Mr. Gordon who is the local representative of the T. H. I. & E. would care for a moment to try to defend the proposition that bis company is really giving good service to the citizens of Richmond. The franchise as it stands on the books will run for another quarter of a century. It is scarcely to be believed that at some period of time the company will not be forced to add to its equipment, extend its service and otherwise do its duty as a public service corporation. It is inconceivable that the citizens will allow the company to continue its present slotbfulness to the end of time. We present, herewith, a proposal not involving any relation to moral obligations or legal operations. To talk of moral obligations in a public service question is to have lost your your sense of humor. Tbe proposal is that the company set forth what it contemplates doing in extensions of service, both in building new lines, bettering schedules and equipment. In doing this would it not be better if the company should take into account the advisability of bettering conditions continually rather than by postponing the event until a complete rehabilitation of the service is necessary? We know that the T. H. I. & E. is not greatly interested in this company here except as a means of entering the city for through and terminal purposes. But at the same time is it wise to play with the citizens of a town who are known all over the state for their interest in their own rights in public service matters and politics. This town is not sewed up or dominated. The two newspapers in this town are free from corporation influence, the common council is composed of men too near to the people to be influenced or dominated by a paymaster of .the T. H. I. & E. There Is no Fred Owen in Richmond. With the T. H. I. & E. merely holding this franchise over here for interurban service rather than developing its street car service and at the same time giving the town a chance for the people of this community to hold friendly feelings. If the company fancies that it can hold its franchise and violate it at will while making this merely a part of entry it may find itself mistaken tto its cost.

O. the rustling of the leaves on the trees. And the shimmer of the sun on the wheat. And the droning monotone of the bees As they dip Into the blooms pink and sweet Ah. the laxy, laxy peace of the noon With the sun overhead standing- still, And the breezes in a ullaby croon As they sigh over valley and hill. And the dancing of the dust in the lane Where the clover nods Its heads as we pass! While the tree-toad sadly calls for the rain And a ripple like a dream stirs the grass!
Is there anything that's ever half so fair As a summer day with all the world adoze. With a haunting sense of slumber In the air While the day drifts calmly on unto its close ? From the brooklet hidden deep In the wood Comes a plashing that is soft as a song That is murmured till but half understood And whose cadence seems to last overlong. And the silver of the far, sailing clouds That are whiter for the glint of the sun Can the city, with Its noise and its crowds Weave a fabric such as here has been spun? I Ah, the mystic, dappled gloom of the shade Where the forest stands all silent and cool! And the mirror that the blue sky has made On the bosom of the deep, glassy pool! (And remember, on a day such as that You were fussing, and the world ran amiss. For y'ou grumbled as you fanned with your hat That you wanted, quick, a day such as this!)
