THE delusion of protection to wool
growers is rapidly going to pieces. The
returns of the last election in Ohio show
that in twenty-seven counties, which pro-
duce about three-fourths of the wool grown
in the state, CAMPBELL S net gain was 1922,
although FORAKER polled 1,073 votes more
than he did two years ago in the same
counties. Mr. DELANo's fear of the Gin
minent danger of free trade" is not wholly
joined in by the farmers who have seen.
wool steadily decreasing in price as the
tariff on it steadily increased. As Mr..
LINCOLN remarked, you may fool all the
people part of the time, or part of the peo-
pie all the time, but you cannot fool all
the people all the time.

A Few Differences.

! In desperate endeavor to show dis
tinction between the Dudley case and the
Coy and Benhamer cases, the only differ
ence the Journal can find is stated thus:
In might be well enough to remember that
In one case the strong arm reached out with
an indictment, while IN the other the matter
had been thoroughly investigated, and no in
diotment found
How can anyone remember something
that did not occur? The grand jury in
vestigated the tally-sheet cases at great
length and returned no indictment. Ac-
cording to the Journals present position,
the investigation should have stopped
there, but at the time, the Journal clam
mored for further investigation. AS a
matter Of accommodation, we will point
out several distinctions between the cases
for the Journals benefit. When the first
grand jury failed to indict in the tally-sheet
cases, Judge WooDs rebuked them from
the bench. When the Dudley grand jury
| failed to indict, ne said nothing. In the
tally-sheet cases, he recommitted the sub
! ject to a new grand jury, and himself
! selected the foreman of that jury-a thing
the Dudley case he did nothing. In the
| tally-sheet cases, when the indictment was
found to be detective, Judge WOODS die
tated a new indictment. In the Dudley
case, after numerous consultations with
Mr.. HARRsoN's law partners, Judge WooDs
altered his construction of the law so that
/ DUDLEY's conviction was made as difficult
as possible.
! In the tally-sheet cases the committee of
one hundred worked night and day for
conviction. In the Dudley case they re-
| tired into their inner consciousness and
locked the door In the tally-sheet cases
democratic district-attorney labored to
secure a conviction, and a jury Of seven
democrats convicted. In the Dudley case
a republican district-attorney dismissed
1 proceedings, prevented the service of
a new warrant for arrest, held private
consultations with the accused, and de-
clares that a jury would not convict him,
even if he were proven guilty. In the
| tally-sheet cases no central committeeman
aided and abetted the defendants. In the
Dudley case the chairman of the repub-
| lican state central committee takes the de-
| PENDANT to his residence to escape arrest,
and gives him aid and counsel throughout.
In the tally-sheet cases Judge WooDs neg
/ lected to come down from the bench and
shake hands with Coy and BERNHAMER
In the Dudley case he rushed to greet the
criminal, and showed him every possible
distinction. This last difference will
doubtless prove affecting to the judge
when he remembers that one of the tally
sheet defendants (Mr. SULLIVAN has now
passed away, and he will probably never
have an opportunity to grasp his hand
again.

A SHAME AND DISGRACE.
Chambers Incumbency of a Public once
Properly Characterized.


indianapolis News.l
The letter that Col. Dudley stands charged
with writing, and which neither invocation
of law nor the temptation of reward can in
duce him to deny, said among other things:
Divide the foaters into blocks of five and
put trusted man with necessary funds in
charge of these five. and make him RESPONSE
bic that none get away and that all vote our
ticket
This, Mr.. Chambers declares, he thinks
is not advice of bribery. This is amazing.
II there is no bribery intended, why are
the recipients of the letter warned to See
that the necessary assistance" is 'hus-
banded and made to produce results?"
If this does not mean the debauching of
the ballot-box, the highest crime in our
civilization, what does it mean? Will Mr..
Chambers tell us? And what does he
mean by further declaring that the letter,
construed in the light OF knowledge we
all possess of how our elections are carried
in Indiana" is not only not criminal, but
honorable2 We do not know the men nor
the associations that hold a standard of
morals which reckons such advice as
honorable" and as indicating simply a
patriotic interest in the elections" and it
certainly is in order to put Mr.. Chambers
on the witness stand and compel him to
impart some of the knowledge" which
I'VE all possess as to how elections in In
diana are conducted by both parties"
What does Mr.. Chambers know; who
are his associates? Certainly this standard
of public morals makes his incumbency of
a public office shame and disgrace. Presi-
dent Harrison owes it no less to himself
than to the public service and to this CON-
munity to promptly relieve Mr.. Chambers.
The knobs of Crawford county might
approve as honorable" and as indicating
patriotic interest in elections" advice to
"divide fioaters into blocks of five" and to
put trusted man" with the necessary
funds" in charge of each block and make
him responsible" that none gets away,
but civilized society dosn't
This whole Dudley episode seems To
have left it's Shiny track on all the pre-
cincts dedicated to the United States here.
The impotence of its machinery to ferret
out this scoundrelly attempt TO debauch a
particularly after it showed what it
could do with Coy-has weakened public
respect. To see Col. Dudley swagger in
and swagger out, decorated with congratu-
latiOns like hero, has aroused public
contempt To hear the federal prosecutor
praising his infamy as honorable" and
patriotic" calls tor public scorn and in
vites the reputation of this community
and this state.

up false charges against the books
which led to an investigation that
completely vindicated the contractors.
Baffied at every point, having exhausted
all its resources of bribery, intimidation,
falsehood, SANDER and trickery of every
kind, the trust began to juggle with the
courts 1t is now playing its last card
The combination which has thus at
tempted to sandbag the people of Indiana
should be shown no mercy. The firms
composing it-and chiefly VAN ANTWERP,
BRAGG Co.-are now selling in Indiana
vast numbers of school books which are
not covered by the state contract nor en-
braced in the law. Not another school
book bearing their imprint should ever be
used in Indiana if substitute at all ac-
ceptable can be found. Honest school
officials all over the state-men who be-
lieve in obeying the law and protecting the
people against insult and robbery-should
take the trust books out of their schools at
the first opportunity and keep them out
The octopus should be shut completely
out of the state.

THE postmaster general in his annual
report advises legislation which would de-
bar from the privileges of second-class
matter the various popular libraries which
are now so widely circulated. 1t is an
ticipated that congress will pass bill this
winter in line with Mr.. WANMAKER's rec
ommendation. The publishers of the
popular Libraries are organizing to defeat
the measure and will doubtless succeed.
There really seems to be no sufficient
argument in support of the proposition,
although it would probably be no great
misfortune to the country if the majority
of the popular libraries" were to be sup
pressed.

INDIANA'S LITERATURE.
THR STETE
e1TN THE REPUBLIC OF LETTERSbo
SECOND PAPER.

We continue the subject OF Indiana lit
erature by sketching the lives of a few
early Hoosler poets in addition to those
mentioned in the first paper. The names
of some of these poets are household words,
and few of their poems are still read and
admired. The names of others are only
remembered by the older literati OF the
state, and their writings are to be found
only in dust-covered volumes now seldom
read. But we have reason to believe that
most of our early poets have been totally
forgotten, and their writings are as if they
never had existed. 'But poets" it is said,
"are extremely mortal" So were these.
These forgotten heroes for such they were)
uttered a few sweet. plaintive notes that
sounded a moment and then died away
into silence. But they lived and sang,
and the world is all the better for their
music.
OF our early poets Sarah T. Bolton is
doubtless the most renowned. She was
born in Newport, KY, in 1914, but at an
early age removed with her parents to In
diana. She was educated at Madison,
Ind, where she was married. There is
but little romance in her history other
than her struggle with poverty during mid
die life. But her soul was only softened
and made better by this conflict. Her
muse sang sweeter after having been inn
prisoned for time. But prosperity finally
came and she was permitted TO devote her
time to writing and travel. In 1857 she
accompanied her husband to Europe,
where she spent several years in studying
the institutions and customs of the peo-
pie. She admired foreign lands, yet her
admiration for her own country was far
greater. This is clearly shown in her ex-
quisite poem, Lake Leman." After paw
ing a very beautiful and appropriate trib-
ute to Swiss scenery and the Swiss people,
she saws:

Last Sunday evening memorial ser
vices were held at the Disciple church,
conducted by Elder Frank Green, in
remembrance of the late Isaac Errett,
of Cincinnati,
Mr.. Green gave an interesting out
line of the life and character of the
deceased, based upon long acquain
tance and business association with
him, having at one time been an asso'
ciate editor with Mr.. Errett, on the
Christian Standard. in Cincinnati, of
which publication Mr.. Errett was the
founder and lifelong editor.
He also spoke of the extensive trav.
els of Rev Errett In foreign lands, and
in this connection we will say that
Rev. Holtz, of this city, at one time
accompanied DR.. Errett in a tour of
the Holy Lands. DIR. Errett was in
the ministry SO years, and was associ.
ated with Alexander Campbell in his
early work.
He was also chosen member of the
International s. S. Committee, where
by reason of his great biblical learning
he soon became a leader.
The services were very impressive
and did much to reveal to the audience
the exalted character and great WORK
of this good man.
