PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE PRIMARIE£_THIS MONTH Wards and Townships Select Delegates to the District . Conventions Indianapolis, March 13. Indiana Republicans will, to all intents and purposes, enjoy the presidential preference primary this month. While of the primaries for electing delegates to the district conventions is the same as usual, the issue between candidates for the presidential nomination is so clearly drawn, that it makes it practically possible for the rank and file of the party to vote direct for the choice of the man to head the national ticket. In each ward and township, there will be delegates to the district convention, who are openly Roosevelt or Taft men. They will be pledged to vote in the conventions for delegates to the National Republican Convention, who are committed publicly to support either Taft or Roosevelt. Thus it is explained that the voter knows when he casts a vote at the primary, just who he is voting for in the National Convention. The district conventions will each select two delegates to the national convention. These district conventions will be held as follows: First at Evansville. March 15; Second, Vincennes, March 28; Third, New Albany, March 25; Fourth, North Vernon, March 25; Fifth, Terre Haute, March 25; Sixth, Rushville, March 28; Seventh, Indianapolis, March 16; Eighth, Muncie, March 28, Ninth, Lebanon, March 28, Eleventh, Wabash. March 25. The Roosevelt men feel that they have been somewhat at a disadvantage because the Taft managers have control of the political machinery, through federal officeholders and the state organization. But they declare that an overwhelming preference for Roosevelt on the part of the rank and file of the party will offset the organized advantage. There is a popular demand that the machine politicians keep their hands off the primaries in order that there may be an honest expression of Republicans as to the Indiana choice for the presidential nomination. Fred Sims, state Republican chairman, has given his assurance that the state organization is interested only in the election of the man who is nominated, and will not interfere in the naming of the candidate. The Roosevelt managers concede the fairness of Mr. Sims, but they learned that in spite of his attitude, county chairmen and in some instances district chairmen are attempting to use their party organizations to advance the interests of Mr. Taft. “If the primaries are conducted fairly and honestly as they should be,” says Edwin M. Lee, head of the state Roosevelt movement, “then the winner, whether he be Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. can reasonably count on the whole party in Indiana standing by him at the polls. And we here at headquarters are anxious that nothing be done by those controlling the political organization in the state, which will give men who favor the nomination of Roosevelt, any excuse for feeling resentful after the primaries.” Clell Medlam and wife will move from the country into the house in the Syracuse Water Power’s addition formerly occupied by the late John Bushong and family. Miss Imo Bushong of Elkhart, visited over Sunday with her grand mother, Mrs. Catherine Bushong and with Mrs. Leonard Rex. i

OUR CEMENT PLANT RESUMES OPERATIONS ■ Which Means Much to the Laboring and Business Men of Our Little City. Heard you not the big hoarse steam whistle Monday morning? It was sweet music—lts robust call brought happiness and good cheer to many a home in Syracuse. Its cheerfull roar was the most joyful harbinger of a bounteous Spring which has come to our town since before the beginning of the New Year. We welcome it with unfeigned delight knowing how much it means in creature comforts to the many homes in Syracuse and it is our earnest and deepest desire that nought will happen to interrupt the continuons running of the plant throughout this year and the years to come. At no time have we been unmindful of what our Cement Company means for Syracuse; but the events of the past three months have given such emphasis to the fact that we are impelled to speak of it in this somewhat effusive manner. There are citizens of Syracuse who do not agree with us in our expression of moral support for this great institution, which has done so much not only for Syracuse but for the entire county, and this is well. The Sandusky Portland Cement Company in entering upon an entirely new and scientific system for disposing of its output and it is the confident belief of the managers that under the new system there will be no more shut downs. This is welcome news and will serve not Inly to*insure a reliable, compJtentf Staff /of operators but will give tfie men an opportunity to make necessary provision for homes and the comfortable upbringing of their families. May our best hopes for the factory, its officers and workmen be completely realized.

Froze to Death in Her Home. Miss Lucretia Buffenbarger, forWashington township, and a daughter of George Buffenbarger, was found frozen to death in her home near Lamar, Colo., by a neighbor, after a severe blizzard a few weeks ago. Miss Buffenbarger had gone to Colorado with other persons three years ago and had taken up a claim, upon which she was living alone. Shortly after a severe blizzard a neighbor went to her cabin and after knocking on her door receiving no response, forced his way in and found her cold in death. Telegrams to her relatives were received here one week ago Sunday, and John Piper, of Washington township, a brother-in-law, left for Colorado one week ago and returned with the remains the latter part of last week. The obsequies were held at Kimmell, Sunday.—Albion Democrat. Mrs. Caroline Darr who has been with Henry Juday and wife in the country month has returned home.

ITEMS FROM ALL - OVEyHE STATE Items of More or Less Interest to Our Readers, gathered From Our Exchanges. A farmer of Knightstown, is dead to-day as a result of burns received when he put a lighted cigar in his pocket. The cigar ignited matches and Estes was unable to extinguish the flames. He was seventy-seven years old. A Wells-Fargo express train was wrecked five miles east of Rochester, early Sunday, and Express Messenger Downing, of Huntington, was probably fatally injured. Three of the cars left the rails and were piled in a mass. Jumping from a freight train on which he, with a number of boy friends, was stealing a ride, Clarence Goodrich, ten years old, son of Bert Goodrich, was ground to death at Shelbyville Sunday, under a Big Four passenger train. The Laporte county grand jury returned 20 indictments against saloon keepers. It is said that an Indianapolis detective worked there several weeks gathering evidence. State’s Attorney Smith says the crusade has just begun. Deputy Fish and Game Warden Rigney arrested James Stoner at Ligonier. He was given $73 for selling black bass. Stoner has paid several fines for violations of the fish law. When arrested in Kosciusko county Stoner paid SIOB. At another time in Ligonier he paid S4B. Henry Krellow, an inmate of the Indiana reformatory probably fatally wounded John Lee, a guard Monday by striking him on the head with a heavy pair of tongs. The prisoner had been reprimanded by Lee for talking in the dining room. Another guard shot Krellow in the hip as he was about to strike the second blow. After a thorough investigation the officials of the rban Railway Co. have decided that the blame for the wreck of three weeks ago near Bear’s crossing, north of Akron, could be traced to the bad weather, together with a misunderstanding of orders. W. D. Frazer, vice-president and general manager, in speaking of the wreck, said that none of the men would be laid off, and that no one was individually responsible for the wreck. Owing to the conditions, telephone connections were very bad and the blinding storm made it impossible to see any distance whatever.

Turn On the Heat. A Minnesota editor tunes his lyre and sings these words: “Backward, turn backward, oh, time in your flight, and give me July again just for tonight; soften the ground where the frost king has lain, oh, let me hear one mosquito again. lam so weary of snowdrifts and ice, weary of paying the coal trust its price; weary, so weary of frost-bitten pie, give me a slice of the Fourth of July. Backward, swing backward, oh, season of snow—mercury fifty or sixty below—turn on the heat of the tropical zone; roast me until I am cooked to the bone; I am so tired of freezing my nose, neary of chilblains and corns on my toes; weary of trying to sleep with cold feet; turn on the heat, turn on the heat.” G. W. Elliott, of Warsaw, installs the best know system of Acetylene lights. Satisfaction guaranteed. See him before investing. 12-ts Fisher Brothers, New Paris, special deal on fence and posts.

FORBEARING LOVE. (By request of Mrs. Ida Strieby.)Children may spurn the kind hands that caress them, And fail all their duties and trusts to fulfill, Yet, in their hearts, will their parents still bless them, And cling to thei? loved ones through good daysband ill. Many a mother is kneeling in sorrow, . Praying for soils who in dark ways may roam, Patiently waiting and hoping the morrow Will be the glad day she can welcome them home. Surely, then surety, the Father above us, Cares for us all, though our hearts may be cold; Grieves o’er our errors, nor ceases to love us, Though we may wander away from the fold. —John E. Dolsen. First Cor. 3rd Chapter, 16 and 18 verse: 16. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 18. “Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world let him become a fool that he may be wise.’’ ° (Read entire chapter). The body of Robert 0. Rippey, formerly of Goshen, who died last week at his home at Hart, Mich., was brought to Goshen Saturday, and was taken to the undertaking rooms of E. Culp, where friends who cared to could view the remains from 2 until 4 p. m. Sunday. The funeral was held on Tuesday and interment in the cemetery at Topeka.
