There is always more or less talk about

Mr.. Ford, who is at the head of the pro-

through Noblesville. was in the city Friday.
He said he had been busy the past few
days securing a right-of-way from land own

have been purchased from land owners in
order that the line will not encroach upo

Every man who earns his living by the
sweat of his face has a personal interest In
discrediting the pernicious doctrine, of re-
cent birth and as false as it Is vicious. that
a man cannot go freely from one State to
another In this Nation in search of work
and accept that work If ne can find 1t. A
man from Indiana can go into any State in
the Union when he pleases and accept any
honest work his hands or head can find to
do. And the same is true of every other
man in every other State. If this Is au-
thoritatively denied or the exercise of the
right prevented by force or threats or I'm
any way. il is time to stop all other things
for a while and settle that proposition and
settle it for good and ali. Imported is
not a word that can be applied to a Hoosier
going to any State in the Union. And the
concede to ali other American freemen.

A Chicago paper prints an interview with
Governor Mount. of this State, in which the
Governor declares positively that 1t is his
intention to retire from active political life
at the end Of his term and indulge in agri-
cultural pursuits the remainder of his days
upon the earth. This may be Governor
Mounts intention at the present time. but
a man who has been in active politics as
long as he has finds 1t very difficult to set
tie down to the hum-drum of farm life. even
he may have been brought up on
the farm and has spent the most of his man.

fascination for men and when once they get
into the whirl 1t is hard for them to get out.
even when a favorable opportunity presents
itself. Mr.. Mount is a good farmer. and an
equally good politician. The farm affords
a quiet retreat for him when he wants to

The announcement, coming by a round
about course, through a personal friend"
that Governor Mount is to retire from poll
tics at the close of his present term, is not
surprising If it is disappointing. 1t is under
stood. of course. that the Governor is not
eligible to reelection. but his permanent re-
from politics, as this statement
signifies, would take him out Of participa-
ton In those things which are represented
as aiming at the best results for the people.
1t is known that many of his experiences
as the chief executive have been annoying
and distastefui, but he has met all questions
fairlV and acted fQarlpSSly in SiIDpOrt of
what he has believed to be right. 1t is this
class OF men that is needed in politics, and
when this is sai1it Is not meant that a man
must necessarily be in Office to be in politics.
What is most needed is not the retirement
of good men, but the entry of more of them
into politics. 1t is hoped that the decision
of the Governor Is not to be so construed
as to mean that he will not in future lend
his effort and his influence toward the pro-
motion of that purer politics for which he
has Courier.
