CONFESSION OF DEFEAT.

Monday evening was the date chosen by
the Democrats Of this city to hold pri-
maries to elect delegates for county con-
vention. II persistent person, melted by
a reward, had set out 10 find a Democratic
primary he might have found few men
here and there if he had been rapid in his
movements, as the few who assembled scat
tered as If they were fearful they might
be caught. For the first time in years the
Sentinel made no attempt to publish the
names of the delegates. This was probably
due TO the fact that there were no Demo-
Gratis attending the primaries who had suf-
ficient interest in them TO telephone the
names Of the delegates.
Yesterday the Marion county Democratic
convention was held in Tomlinson Hall. 1t
has often resounded 10 the triumphant
shouts of the Democracy led by Taggart;
but since it's building, never has so small
and listless a body Of men assembled in it
TO nominate a county ticket. Outside it
was cool day. but inside Tomlinson Hall
the chiIliness seemed to touch the very
marrow in the bones of the three hundred
men who arrived tardily as if they had
been drafted for Democratic cold storage.
The enthusiasm was OF the graveyard va
riety. Cheering would have been as ap-
propriate ar a funeral. 1t was, however, a
harmonious convention, except for the pro-
tests of those who did not desire nominal
tons but were forced to take them in spite
of their protests. 1t was the harmony OF
hopelessness; the deadly listlessness of ac-
cepted defeat The only avowed candidates
were men whom it would have been trav-
esty for the Populist party to have nomi-
mated. Most OF the men who were placed
in nomination for the offices which are re-
garded as prizes accepted because they had
no competitors. 1t is a fairly good ticket,
but the best of the candidates are men
who could not have been nominated had
the officeseekers imagined there would be
fighting chance in the election.
To the few spectators who looked in upon
the proceedings il was an astonishing spec
tacle. as no one ever dreamed that in so
marked manner would the once rampant
Democracy of Marion county acknowledge
a losing fight and disastrous defeat, and,
worst of all, lack of that fortitude which
enables those vanquished when fighting for
a good cause to make show of courage.

ECLIPSE OF COLONEL STEELE.
Surprise and Regret at the Defeat of
the Indiana Representative.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is certainly a great surprise that Col.
George w. Steele, of Indiana, has been de-
feated for denomination. He is one of the
old-timers in the House, and was looked on
as a fixture as much as Cannon or Bing
ham. In twenty-four years he has missed
three terms because the Democrats were in
the majority, but he has ever been the Re
publican nominee. Now he is defeated by
the brother of a congressman in an adjoin-
ing district.
We are sorry that Colonel Steele, the
valiant Republican, is to be retired from
party counsels, and we have an idea that
it would have been quite as we'll for the
people OF his district and the country at
large if he had been renomnated. How
ever. that is a matter in their own hands,
and we have no criticism It can be said
that Colonel Steele has been an ardent Re-
publican and stanch defender of Repub-
lican doctrine. He was volunteer soldier
and for ten years regular, and is one OF
the few regulars who have served in Con-
gress. 1t appears that in the course of time
he has been passed by and must retire to
the of the apartment and be seated.
In fact, the leaders are rapidly retiring.
There are a few of the od-timers left in
Congress, but the slaughter every year Is
great. Either Father Time comes along
their notions. and the war horses are asked
to step aside. They retire, but they do not
forget. The oldest member in the House
as regards age and service is Grow, of this
State, who served more than fifty years
ago, but was out of Congress for & genera
ton before being sent back as a congress
man at large. Next comes Joe Cannon, of
Illinois, who has had more actual years of
service and would be the father of the
House were it not for the fact that he suf-
fered defeat for one term and that was be-
cause of a single remark he made. which
was used effectively against him. The aged
and acrimonious statesman of Illinois seems
to be still In fine fettle, and apparently has
ten more years at least to his credit. Next
comes Hooker, of Mississippi, and Ketcham,
of New York, and then our own General
Bingham, the father of the House by rea-
son of having the longest continuous
service of any member of that body, a ser
vice that began In 1919 and is still in it's
youth, as we trust.
The other members who have served
seven terms or who began to serve more
than fourteen years ago are: Wadsworth
! Payne and Ray, of New York; Richardson
and Pierce, of Tennessee: McRae, OF Ar
kansas; Lanham, of Texas: Hit and Hop
kins, of Illinois; Speaker Henderson and the
/ redoubtable Grosvenor. This is a small col
/ lection of experienced men compared with
! former times, and in the nature of events
these must soon be lessened. We regret the
/ loss of Steele, and will see the others de-
/ part with great sorrow. regardless Of party
/ Affiliations. Experience in Congress counts
/ for much.

CHER standard OF good behavior.

About ten days ago a four-year-old child
In New York disappeared. and as she was
last seen playing on a Hudson-river pier
there was every reason to believe she had
fallen into the river and been drowned. A
sensational paper started the story that she
had been kidnapped. and followed it by
printing an alleged letter from the kid
napers threatening to kill the little girl
unless her father. wOrkingman. paid s. 1000
ransom This story was worked till the
samily were almost driven crazy. Now the
ehild's body has been found in the river
and the lie that was invented TO sell few
papers has been exposed. Yet there are
newspaper managers who regard that sort
OF thing as journalistic enterprise.
