Warsaw Times.
This Horace Heffren, now making laws for
the people of Indiana, was double traitor
a traitor first and foremost to his country,
and secondly a traitor to his comrades,
whom he betrayed in the hope of saving his
own neck. Then, again, he is a perjurer.
He swore when he entered the United States
service to be loyal to his governments to
obey the President of the United States and
those placed in authority over him. This
oath he violated hundred times.
Higher License Law Suggested.
Terre Haute Express.
The Express has one suggestion to make
1t is in the direction Of a higher license,
which would be a curb on the trade that
would be of much benefit. Wherever the
system has been adopted it has worked ad-
vantageously, and we believe it would do so
here. The only effect of decreasing the
number of saloons would be to discourage
drinking and that is an object that should be
kept in view in all liquor legislation
Republican Record on the Amendments.
Martinsville Republican.
A very large number of people in this State
including all the decent temperance and
moral citizens, without regard to party-de-
sired to take a popular vote upon these
amendments at a special election. The Re-
publican party acceded to their demands
and did its best to give them the chances. To
this end it, together with many honest Dem
ocrats fought the battle. A high license law
would perhaps be good thing now.
The Liquor League Afraid of the People.
Plymouth Republican.
The liquor league is afraid of the people.
and the Democratic party is owned by the
liquor league. By the party we mean the
men who control the party. Sometime there
will be found in the party respectable mi
nority that will not yield to these bosses who
say the people have not sense enough to de-
eide for themselves such questions as prohi-
bition and female suffrage.
The Democracy VIII Not Trust the People.
Hendricks County Union.
So it goes. We have one after another
the ocular demonstration of the fact that the
Democratic party are not a party willing to
submit public issues to the people. And
yet, in the last campaign and again in tine
next one, we found and will find men who
profess to be temperance men voting for and
working for the success of the Democratic
ticket and immortality.
Prohibition Sentiment Never So Strong.
New Castle Courier.
The prohibition sentiment of Indiana was
never so strong never so we'll organized
never SO determined and active as it is to-
day, and the slight repulse, if repulse you
may call it, suffered on Monday is more
likely to add force and vigor to the move
ment than to discourage or dishearten even
the weakest soldier in the, ranks, Prohibi-
ton will win the day.
The Present Democratic Leader.
Spencer Republican
No man in Indiana of late, has been so
mercilessly fayed by the newspapers DO
'Jumbo" Heifren, one of the detail of ten''
selected by the Knights of the Golden Circle
t,,1 10 80 -
sinate him. He turned States evidence
against his co-consprators and helped con-
v;ct them. He is now q Democratic leader
of the House.
The Democracy Under the Liquor Thumb.
Liberty Herald.
The Democratic party is to-day as COM
pletely" under the thumb of the liquor inter-
est as it was in 1860 under control OF the slave
masters. We repeat that the people cannot
hope to accomplish reform in any direction
through the agency of the Democratic party.
1t is party Of retrogression, animated solely
by greed for Office
This Country for u Protective Tariff.
Planfied Progress.
This country needs and will have a pro-
tective tariff but not one that protects one
or two industries to the detriment of thd
whole country. Let us have revision, but
not an abolition. Our industries can not, !
and no sensible person ought to expect them
to, compete with the low wages of Europe.
The Advantages of High Prices.
Greensburg Standard.
Reduce the number of saloons and the
oyertowering influence of the liquor interest
would be reduced. High license would bring
into the business only men of some property,
and their property would be, to some extent,
security for their more careful observance of
legal restrictions.
A Dignified Republican Position.
Seymour True Republican.
The dgniied and bold stabd for the
rights Of the people which the Republican
members are taking in the present Legisla-
ture cannot fail to attract the notice of fair
men of all parties, .1e
