STATE PRESS COMMENT

It may also be predicted with a reftscalable degree of certainty that when the Rev. Kuhn sought the Democratic nomination for governor with the understanding that ft was to be a "highminded Christian campaign,” he overcapitalised his good opinion of the party he is trailing with. —Lebanon Fatriot. And now we think about It—-Vice president Fairbanks was. the first statesman who refused to let his working assistants accept any campaign funds from corporations fer securing party success. In this he was a pioneer practical reformer on lines that have become the lines of activity of more noisy reformers.—Elkhart Review. -» " ________ Republicans of Indiana met every issue squarely that looms up as an element in the coming campfetgn, at. their recent state .convention. There was no straddling or uncertain tones about the platform adopted. The people of the commonwealth know where td find the party on all questions.— Covington Republican. I Steve Fleming, the Fort Wayne brewer, and Democratic candidate for the. legislature,, vociferously shouts that he will stand on. the terupowtneeplank of the Democratic platform. Ail the worse for the platform,, that' a brewer is willing to stand on it. The AnthSalbon League has declared .this same plank to be a step backward because it endangers the present remonstrance- law. . So there oughtn’t to be any doubt where the temperance vote will land this fall. —Crawfordsvllle journal. The Republican. state convention held at Indianapolis last week ,was by far the largest in the history of any party in Indiana. The ticket nominated is a good one and its election is assured. Notwithstanding the bitter rivalry for governor, the best of feeling prevailed, and after the convention was over the feeling was unanimous that the ticket would. easily prove a winner. The campaign in Indiana this year will be a vigorous one, as the Democrats also have a good ticket and are more hopeful than in years. However, the Republican platform is the better by far, the local option plank with the county as the unit being worth thousands of votes to the ticket.—Petersburg Press. It is easy for the intelligent voter who sincerely and conscientiously desires to be right on the question of temperance to differentiate between the Republican and Democratic platforms. The former endorsee the laws as they stand and through which so mueh good has been accomplished, adding c ounty local option as a strengthener. The latter proposes to substitute local option, county, township and ward, for the present laws. The one keeps the enforcement of the laws in the hands of their friends, the temperance people. The other turns it into politics and gives the whisky and brewing interests a chance to defeat the advocates of temperance by methods the employment of which they understand perfectly. Which do you prefer, intelligent voter? New Castle Courier.

There are members of both , the Republican and Democratic parties in Tipton county who declare that the platforms adopted by the state convention of each party has gone too far In their opposition to liquor and the saloons, and especially do these people criticise the Republican party for declaring for local option with the county as the unit Thia may be the opinion of some, but it is by no means the sentiment of the general public, for It is an assured fact that the people of Indiana are growing very tired of the brewers and liquor interests having their way about things like they have had in the past and the sooner they learn that they are to be controlled by the law instead of them controlling tho law, the better it will be for them. The Advocate is willing to admit that the liquor question will in all probability be the leading Issue In the campaign, and any advanoed step which the Republican party takes in the liquor question the greater will be its victory when the votes are counted on election day.—Tipton Advocate.

Democracy's Bluff.

The Democrats of Indiana this year, for the first time in the history of the party, have indicated approval of the temperance sentiment, but it is s scant and forced approbation. The declaration is for local option In ’’City wards and townships." That is just exactly what we have now. Many hundreds of city wards and townships In the state already have exercised the privilege given to tbsm under this Republican local option law. The Democratic party said in the Indians platform tbs least that could be said In approval of temperance legislation, and gay anything. But the Democratic convention's straddling proclamation will not be likely to deceive any one. The convention was dominated by Thomas Taggart and the brewery Interests, and the weak and evasive temperance plank was Inserted only after It had been sanctioned by agents of the breweries who kept a close watcb on the resolutions committee. The Democratic party of the stats of Indiana Is In the same hands that controlled the Democratic members of the ast legislature and defeated the measure providing for a high saloon license.—Washington HeraJß.

Mt. Ayr—From the Pilot.

J. -P., Clark, postmaster at Morocco, made a short stop here Tuesday while enroute to Rensselaer. Frank -Leek, in company with a couple of friends, came over from Rensselaer last Saturday in his automobile. ’ Joe Moore of northeast of Rensselaer came Sunday for a week’s visit with his second cousins, Roy and Orte Willey. | Jap Wright has sold his farm two miles north of town to Mrs, Kate Yeager, and according to rumors will Boon became a resident of this town. It seems strange that Mt. Ayr and vicinity should be visited by so many Kentland politicians who claim to be writing insurance, it just this time pf year. * • j J. M. Hufty and R. J. Yeoman have purchased a large steam engine and saw mill and a feed grinder, and according to reports will erect a building here in town and do a general grinding and mill busness. The Bank of Mt Ayr has rented the Mrs. Nichols building and is having the same remodeled and repaired and put into a first class condition. The fixtures that were formerly in the Hdme Bank at Goodland have been purchased and when completed we will have as nice a bank as can be found In any of our neighboring towns.

Child Slavery Deplored.

The laws of Indiana controlling the employment of children are universally recognized as just, salutary and humane. They were passed by a republican legislature, and are beyond crttscign. -j-j In great sections of the country a system of actual slavery of children exists, revolting to the human mind. Every power of the nation should be exercised to end it everywhere in the republic. The children of the country are its chief wealth and its hope, and we demand that Congress use all its power to end child labor throughout the entire nation— From Republican State Platform.
