THE SITUATION. Now, before the legislature meets, and while the results of the elections in Wah.i h and Lawrence Counties and the etilion in Putnam County are fresn before us, it is advisable to look ; tiie situation in which the l emoii party finds itself. It will lie retie ; bert'd that last spring, when the party adopted the township local option plank, it published to all the woi I ! th 't it was a step in the direction - I ■ p- rtiingeiit temperance leu'e at ion. Later, when the lu pnhlh "n pai ' adopted the county I option plunk the Democrats, in tee j : .Hire communities, in its >- >•, pa a from the Indianapolis •V •: down, declared that the two I'lnnl--. hut represented different ways cl a< romplishiiiii the same re-

suit. It was urged that a township law would give all the benefits of the county law- and at less cost. The roint made was always that the same result could he obtained at less cost, hut always the same result. Later still the Republicans passed the county local option law in special session. Since the act became ef- ' •ctive several counties have voted and several others have petitioned for a vote. The large number of petitioners secured and the large majority voting seem to indicate that tilt 1 matter of expenses lias not been considered in the counties where it lias been tried. In these counties also, it has been effective. Counties have gone dry. In Putnam the heavy signing of the petition in townships with large Democratic majorities as Franklin, Jackson and Mill Creek indicate that the people are in favor of the elections, and that Democrats are especially in favor of trying the law. As a matter of fact Hit' victory in tin' state was won by holding the temperance Democrats with the declaration that the Democratic party was for temperance, for k.w which accomplished results, and that the township law would be more effective than the county. The county law is on the hooks. The township law can not, In all probability, he placed upon the books | To repeal the county law, which is . ccomplisliing the result for which it wa ))i: ■-(■(!, is to acknowledge that ilie Democratic party was not honestI ly for temperance. There is no reason to believe this is so. Some may ; have voted for the party with that 1 i. ipression. hut no utterance of the tarty through its platform or its ding •nndidates coal I be interpreted in that way. That the county ; law is more successful than we believed it would he, that it lias work1 I in counties with a labor population where even its friends did notexiiect it to tarry , simply shows that from the side of temperance it was bettor than had been supposed. In facing this problem, then, the Democratic party faces the problem of ((insistency w *h the spirit of its platform declarations, if no law were upon the books every Democrat would vote for township option. Since township option can not carry, since county option is effective, since the people show their belief in it by their signatures upon petitions, wc believe a vote to repeal would be inconsistent with declarations during

the campaign.

i politics has been exaggeration. Naturally meu will do what they can to protect their business, hut that the saloon has had the tremendous influe::; that partisan papers ascribe is doubtful. Politicians have used the saloon more than the saloon has

used politicians.

NOT QUITE THE POINT.

In speaking of the evil of great wealth when wrongly used the Ind-

ianapolis Star said recently:

President Roosevelt has been derided and is derided still because lie

has so often and so vigorously point-j

ed out the enormity and the dangers

of law-defying weafth. Can inj man ’•* *•' •• v ••• v •> :• :• y ;• honestly say that the President has j•>

overstated the truth or expressed any indignation that the honest soul

f lion id not feel ?

The President lias been derided, not because ho called attention to that all thinking men recognized before .Mr. Roosevelt made it popular to dwell upon it. but because, in spite of all the tall, Mr. Roosevelt did nothing to make conditions better. On the contrary when the exigencies of a hotly contested election In which he was much interested made it necessary he was willing to compromise with the men he had attacked in return for their support for Mr. Taft. Not during the entire campaign did we hear of an attack upon the “malefactors of groat wealth.” Not once during the campaign was there a murmur against “undesirable citizens.' - On the contrary a man very close to the most undesirable citizen of all, according to Mr. Roosevelt. and a man who was a member of the Ananias Club, was allowed to aimoitit the treasurer of the Republican campaign committee. Further Mr. llryan was attacked because he was declared to be unsafe, when his only crime was his declaration that he believed “malefactors of great wealth” should wear stripes, and further meant just what lie said. Roosevelt is derided, not because of ids denunciation of “swollen fortunes" that transgress the law, but ( 1 ('came of Ids inconsistency and lack , of courage in the face of political alaniity. He is indeed a biased parjtisan and liero worshiper of the unthinking kind that still adhers to Mr. Roosevelt with the confidence and admiration that was universal
