The London correspondent Of the New
York Tribune quotes some witty sayings
OF Englishmen. One credited TO Lord Rose
berry is that there are only two supremacy
happy days In premier's life-the day he
receives the seals of Office from his SOW
ereign and that which he surrenders
them into his royal masters hands. :
Speaking of the everlasting Irish trouble.
the late Lord Morris is reported as saying
that lit was all due TO the fact that a
stupid, but honest, race was trying to gov
ern quick-witted, but dishonest one"
Russia's recent coup in Manchuria recalls
remark attributed to Lord Paimerston
that Russia always had two strings to
her bow-the moderate language and disin-
terested professions at st. Petersburg and
London and active aggression by her agents
on the scene of operations" Finally, and
perhaps the best of all, is what one Of the
London papers said few days ago of Lord
Cranborne: He is a striking example OF
the success that follows the exercise of
care and discernment in the choice of a
father. If he had not so wisely selected
Lord Salisbury it Is absolutely certain that
he would not be under secretary to-day.
1t is even doubtful whether he would be

A WORD TO THE FIRST VOTER.

Two years ago 664,094 votes were polled
for President in Indiana. If one per cent
of those qualified to vote did not vote, the
total number of voters in the State in
November, 1900, was not far from 67O,0o0-
more rather than less. Assuming that the
annual increase of males qualified to vote
Is one per cent, which is low estimate,
by law to vote is not far from $4,000. As
sumo. again, that two OF every one hun
dred voters in Indiana were not old enough
to vote two years ago. and there are now
100 first voters in the State. There is
reason to believe that the number is much
larger, but, assuming that it is 1890, the
first voters, IL they should all vote for one
party. could have carried the State in
every election during the last twenty-five
years with the exception of that of 1894.
1t appears from the foregoing figures that
the first voter is a very important element
in every general election. If he could or
ganize himself throughout the State and
vote for one party he would be control
ling element.
Since 1894 there is reason to believe that
large majority Of the new voters have
voted with the Republicans 1t is in the
nature of things that it should be so, since
the Democratic party has done nothing to
commend itself to the support OF intelli-
gent young men. Indeed, the leaders of
that party in this State have confessed
that ii was unwise to make free coinage
OF silver the leading issue in 1896. The
party which demanded the pulling down of
the American flag in the Philippines in 1900
in face Of the defiant F;lipinos Is not
party to commend itself to young Ameri-
cans. The party leaders in Washington
who started out at the beginning of this
year with a purpose to put brand
of fiendish cruelty upon American SOL
diers in the Philippines do not represent
party that will be approved by the
brothers and former associates of the
sandered soldiers. The party whose lead
| ers in Indiana silently repudiated the ma
tional platform which they helped to make
| two years earlier, and which they de-
clared to be true Democratic principles

siasm OF the young and intelligent voter
II Inherited my politics." said an INTEL
lisent man past middle life. a few days
ago. The statement was made In a tone
of half apology. Reverence and regard are
| qualities to be respected when the object
upon which they are bestowed is a worthy
one. but names and traditions once worthy
of honor often change with passing years
and cease to be entitled to respect. Here
is a knife that my grandfather gave me
many years ago." a man once said as he
presented the dilapidated article: 1T was

of blades for IL since. and the outsides OF

longer any good as a knife; but, useless
as 1t is. / shall never have another knife In
my pocket" He could not see that the
useless old knife was not that which had
been given him years before So IL may be
said of Democracy. That which the grand
father held to IN the days of Jackson is
not the Democracy Of to-day. Indeed. the
Democracy of 1892 not the Democracy
of 1896 and 1900, and no one is rash enough
to predict what theories will. bear the DEM
ocratic brand in 1904. In fact, since 1856
the history of the Democratic party Is a
graveyard of heresies which the party has
once proclaimed and subsequently dis
avowed.
A party with such history, and with
out positive principle upon which it can
unite, without a leader who has been con-
nected with it for twenty-five years who is
acceptable to half its prominent men, Is
not the party with which the intelligent
first voter. who is the heir to the great
ness and the opportunities Of the American
Republic, can conscientiously ally himself.
The party which has had a long line of
great leaders and statesmen, including
such names as Lincoln, Grant, Garfield,
Harrison, Sherman, Morton. Blaine and
Mckinley, and having such a leader to-day
as Roosevelt, is the party with which the
first voter" should ally himself by voting
the Republican ticket a week from to-day.
Flee from the political graveyard! 1t Is
no place for the young man whose face
glows in the light Of the future. Join the
party whose past record is the story Of
the achievements of this Nation for forty
years and is to-day the party Of progress.
Enlist under the leadership Of the Roose-
velts and escape such leadership as the
Hills and the Tom L. Johnsons are quarrel
ing to obtain over the Democratic party.

ended. party in power must necessarily
bear the blame for conditions existing and
they expected to have a lot TO lay up
against us. But the Republican party has
met every emergency ii has had to face
with courage and wisdom, and ii has solved
problems instead of lodging them: 1t has
always had the right man at the right
time in the right place, and the time OF
the anthracite strike was no exception, for
Theodore Roosevelt was there to meet the
situation. He grasped that problem and
faced the situation unf1inchingly. Everybody

1t and he solved 1t, and that is the way
the Republican party does things. When
the Republican party tackles the trusts you
need have no alarm. 1t will mean business
and not 'bunkum.' When the Democratic
party tackles 1t. if it ever gets the chance.
1t will be 'bunkum,' and not business. The
leader OF the Democrats in the House OPP
posed the federal law against trusts on
the ground that: Trusts would then be

Continuing for some minutes longer, Mr..
Tayler talked with the same vigor and
force, bringing his points straight home
in way that could not be disregarded.
AT the conclusion Of his speech he was
given applause that amounted to an ova-

A few days ago the Journal alluded to
ex-Judge Edgar A. Brown as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Circuit judge in this
county. 1t appears that Judge Brown is
one of the Democratic candidates for SUI
perior judge. This does not. however, az
feet the suggestion of the Journal at that
time to the effect that any Republican
should put himself to the trouble to put
the X before the name of every candidate
on the Republican county ticket in order
that he may crafty Judge Brown by put
ting the X before his name on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Each of the Republican can
didates has made a good record as Judge,
which should be sufficient reason for Civ
ing them their support. The Democratic
friends of ex-Mayor Sullivan are urging
Republicans TO vote for him for Circuit
Judge in preference 20 Judge Allen When
did any one of these voluntary advisers of
Republicans vote any other than the
straight Democratic ticket7 Judge Allen
has made a most creditable record Such
being the case. why should Republicans
