THE JOHN JESSEN DEMOCRACY.

There once was a variety of democracy known as the Andrew Jackeon variety and there has always been a variety called the Simon Pure, and in later years there has been the Bryan democracy and the Johnson democracy and the Parker deocracy, but here in Jasper coun'y ■we have a new kind, to be known henceforth as the John Jes-:en democracy. This is a kind that causes a man to walk aroud on the streets with a long face and tell people that are met that times are “powerful” hard and getting constantly worse and that the country has gone to the bow wows by reason of the fact that

some people in New York have made a little money by hiring a let of men to work for them. The idea is to make a man discontented even it one has to point out the fact of one’s own failure to accumulate half the earth after a number cf years of diligent labor. Then it is proper to make a political sp:e h or two during the campaign, double

up your fists, call all republicans liars and thieves, highwaymen and buccaneers, jamb your fi-ts d wu into your pockets until you pull the seat of your trousers way down to your knees, and tell the people that a yoke is around every and there is no relief except that of hutting the throats of the “interests.” This bluster may be kept up until all of the voters in the audience have gone home determined to vote the republican ticket, a, la Milroy township, and then come back home well satisfied with yourself and dream about your converts, only to come down tow the next day and have your county chainnan pull you off of the platform. Then get on an elect’on board and treat all of the republican members like you believed them

to be thieves and refuse to give out any information after the ballots are counted except to select democratic acquaintances, and then whin the election gees against you get hold of some democratic editor and edit the next issue of his paper, saying “On e more a large number of supposed-to-be intelligent people of * the United States have once again up with R ckefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, Harriman and the rest of the trust magnates, and the ignorant fore'gners, nigg rs, etc.” It is also right to say that successful republicans “sneaked” in, but always speak of democratic victory as the result of the careful discernment of the voteis. You should not fail to say that the republicans freely used money to bring about the result. If these insttucticns are followed carefully you can become a John Jessen democrat in good standing and people won’t give a rap whether your record for paying your debts is good or not or whether your past life shows you to have been even moderately successful. Just emulate the John Jessen democracy and tickle yourself. It’s great sport *—for the public.

This issue of the Republican is, of course, largely devote! to the electic n returns and the local news features are somewhat curtailed. The political season having pa sed politics will l>e a small part of the Republican until another campaign comes around. This is following a policy adopted by George E. Marshall, and which we believe to be ti e mission of a newspaper. We are all friends, a great big family of Ame--ican patriots, loving our party only as we believe It represents the best interests of the country. The Republican has always enjoyed tie patronage of a large number of democrats, and we prize their business highly and try to give them value received by giving all of the news, fairly and impartially. We do not aim to insult them with our own partisanship, aud we aie glad to say. that they recognize fairness iu our championship of the republican cause and have not been offended because the paper for the past two or three months has been largely a political one. We shall not back up

on our republicanism at any time, but shall refrain from discussions of issues during ensuing months. There are always many hard p-ellngs engendered during the campaign days and we trust that all of these may be healed up In the Interest of business, society and common respectability. Our partisanship has never brought US to th# point of believing that the

goods handled by Jones, a democrat, were not just as gooi as tho. e handled by Smith, a republican. If this sort of peanut politics is in any bosom, it ought to be pried out and every man ought to think that there are no democrats and no republicans for the next two years, at least. Just get down to business, and make tie most of our citizenship. We have a democratic governor and a republican president, but they are tie officials not of party nor of cli.ss. but of all the people. Hurrah for Marshall; hurrah for Taft. And the world moves on.

Jim Anderson and wife returned Thursday from Loville, Okla., where he went about five weeks before, lie thought the country no place for a poor man and even the bank guarantee proposition in effect in that state did not serve to make it an altogether blissful p'aee to live. Jim husked corn and picked cott n while there, but believes that railroading in Indiana is better for him and this moruing he started out iu search of a job.

Gaylord Nowels, of De’phi, stopped off here yesterday for a vT it with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Nowels. He left tills morning for Longmont, Colo., whe.e he will work in the same planing mill that his brother, Charles Nowels, is employed in. Charley has found that climate very beneficial to the health of his family and so Gaylord has decided to move his family from Delphi, which will be dong* after he has worked there a while.

Joe Jackson dropped us a line this moruing from Hoopeston. He garnered a clean hundred on tne election of Deneen for governor of that state. Referring to the picture that the Republican published with Gus Phillips’ name under it last week, Joe says, “What is the matter with Gus Phillips' picture? If 1 were Gus I would take umbrage at the insult. Why, bless me, it looks more like Comrade Fox Blnce he turned to be a demy. We are all well; give my regurds to everybody.”

Rev. Charles F. Barrert, who will commence revival meetings at TilnPy M, E. church on next Sabbath, desices it understood by everybody that

there will be no personal solicitation of any one to begin a Christ an life In any of his meetings. He thinks this method of work is an embarrassment to some people iu «a ftending revival meetings. Theie will be the general appeal only in the public services. On next Sabbath there will be three services. He will speik for the first time at the morning hour. At three in the afternoon be will address a meeting for women only. At the evening hour he will sjteak on the subject, ‘'The Gospel of backbone." All Christian people are invited to co-operate in the e revival services, and the general public will be cordially welcomed.

Boya, bring your sister and your sweetheart to the box ball and enjoy a pleasant evening.

THE LATE RETURNS IN HOOSIER STATE

Marshall Carried Indiana by 16,000 or More and Lower Legislative Branch Is Democratic.

Thos. R. Marshall, of Columbia City, nominated by the democrats for governor of Indiana, has been elected by a plurality of 16,000 or more over James E. Wa t son, nominated by the republicans. The reason for this we shall not discuss at length, but there is no doubt that the defeat of Watson was diiectly brought about by the saloon and brewery influence, and it is plain to be seen that in every community Marshall was supported by a number of republicans who would welcome the reinstatement of the saloons. In the brewery cities Marshall ran tie strongest. As we have often said before, Marshall nor the democratic party were not to blame for this, but the advanced step that the republican party had taken in temperance by adopting the county option plank had arrayed the saloons and breweries on the other side. That Is spilt milk. If the republican party erred it has paid the penalty by de-

The ladies of the Methodist church will give their annual two days' rummage sale on Friday and Saturday Nov. 13 and 14, in the former Michael Eger shop on Van Rensselaer street north of D. M.

feat It probably means that the ! temperance question will not again enter the politics of the state, and that reforma will hereafter be nonpartisan and neither party pledged for it. This will be the best means of bringing about the result and is | certain to be the future policy. A surprising part of the election in this state was the defeat of eleven of the thirteen republican candidates for congress. Crumpacker won in this district and .W O. Barnard in the 6th. C. B. Landis was defeated in the 9th and Jesse Overstreet in the 7th. Of course, with the defeat of Watson all of the state ticket went down. 1 Taft probably carried Indiana with i a plurality of about 10,000. it is probable that the republicans have lost enough members of the state house and senate to give the democrats a majority on joint ball ;t, and consequently a United States senator to succeed Hemenway. The republicans will control the senate.

Coiffures are Increasing in size. The most’ fashionable arrangement, next to the Psyche knot, is flat, wide, and huge at the back.

A good many of the colored hats have black velvet facings, although black may play no other part In the hat.

Newest veilings include the hexagonal mesh and the square velvet dot In brown, black and combinations of brown and tan and magpie.

J. F. Wheeler, son-in-law of W. R. Nowels, was here a short time yesterday and thlß morning. His home has been at Flora until recently he and family moved to Longmont, Colo., for the benefit of his health. Shortly after going there they lost their baby. Mr. Wheeler came all the way back from Longmont to vote for Taft. •
