1t is a point of honor in Eastern colleges

not seem so particular. If some scrub pro-

his services on the team. This thing has
been going on at Wabash for years and it
really seems time for the introduction of
new standard of ethics. A rule that no

weaken the teams for while, but it would
give healthier tone to real amateur sport

Cummings the Only Democrat Who
Voted Against Recommitting the
BiII-Private Pension Measures.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The House to-
day passed the urgent deficiency bill and
devoted the remainder of the session to prl-

until Monday. The Republicans forced a
record vote on the amendment to the de-
ficiency bill to appropriate 100000 for the
protection and shelter" of American sol
diers in the Philippines and sixteen Demo-
Gratis voted for it.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
sought to meet this purpose with a motion
to recommit, but the speaker held that a
motion to recommit would not be in order
until after the bill had been formally read
by title a third time.
Would it be in order to move an amend
ment to provide that the President should
submit to Congress detailed statement of
the expenditures under this appropriation"

1T would not" replied the speaker. 1.-THE

followed, and it was adopted, IFS to 105. The
Republicans voted solidly for the amend
ment and the Democrats against it, with

Zenor of Indiana, Mers of Indiana, Nor
ton of Ohio, Kern of Illinois, Lindsay of
New York, McCulloch of Arkansas, Ma
honey of Illinois, Foster of Illinois, Fox OF
Mississippi, Gordon of Ohio and Crowley

Mr.. Richardson then moved to recommit
the bill with instructions to amend the
amendment so as to provide that the Presi-
dent should furnish cause to be fur
nished a detailed statement showing how
the appropriation of 100000 had been ex-
pended. The motion to recommit was de-
feated, 124 to 1885, Mr.. Cummings was the
only Democrat to vote with the Republic
ans.
The bill then was passed, after which
the House went into committee of the
whole and considered ffty-three private
pension bills. The committee then rose re-
ported to the House and the bills were
passed. Among the bills passed was one
granting a pension of $50 a month TO the

interest because the commission has made

that the books of all corporations shall be

THE REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

Many of the Republican editors Of the
State were in council yesterday. considering
topics relating to their interests as pub
fishers and to the welfare of the party.
With many of them were their wives, who,
no doubt, are in a large measure respon-
sible for the gratifying progress which Re
publican journalism has made in Indiana
the past twenty years. These Republican
editors and publishers are class of men
who rarely receive credit for the work
they are constantly doing for State. coun-
ty, town and their party. Their duty to
their party is to proclaim the party princi-
pies and polity. Doing this day after day
or week after week, they constitute the
most potential influence in the party with
that very large portion of the party and of
the people who read and think. Other work.
ers come into the fight as election day APP
proaches, but the editor is on the firing
line year out and year in. The orator may
enthuse the smaller portion of the party
voters during the few weeks preceding an
election, but the editor breaches the party
faith and fights the party battle to the
tens of thousands of voters every week in
the year. The Republican EDITORS audience,
scattered in all the homes of the land, needs
not the orator nor the precinct commit
teeman to look after them election day
approaches, for his constant teaching keeps
them in the ranks and prepared for the
conflict The man who takes and pays for
his local Republican paper is never en-
rolled in the list headed doubtful when
the canvasser makes up his roll.
Generally the party editor in the county
is in touch with the more intelligent meE
of the party. Consequently his views. re-
flected from the intelligence of the party,
are the wisest and most patriotic. In 1896.
when the great battle for sound currency
was fought in Indiana, it had been prac-
tically won by the Republican editors be-
fore the campaign orators and the makers
of campaign literature had reached the
battlefield AS a whole, the Republican
editorial judgment of the State as to party
policy is safer than sometimes to
prevail in Washington, for the reason that
it is the intuitive opinion of the reading
and thinking element of the party. And
yet the party editor is often much-abused
man because he does not make every man s
fight his own or does not support in
whom he has no confidence. 1t may be
added that the influence of the party editor
will increase with the broader reading
constituency that is coming to the party
paper. 1t is this influence which has made
Indiana a Republican State as much as any
other fundamentally. If men of charac-
ter and ability are put in nomination the
wide-awake Republican paper will be very
sure to bring to their support that large,
but silent element in the party which re-
ceives little attention during campaigns,
but which can be counted on for the sup
port of good government.
