are called upon to do.-Columbia City

Raw Deal for Fulton County.

Under the above caption the Ro-
chester Republican publishes the spe-
cial from South Bend to Indianapolis
announcing that the district commit
tee had met at South Bend and fixed
the date OF congressional convention,
and comments as follows:
G.. f. Barcus, Fulton county S
chairman was not informed of the star
chamber meeting.
Congressional nominating conven-
tions are usually held in June and the
delegates thereto chosen a month pre-
vious. This scheming is under the
direction OF Brick who fears the de-
velopment of a certain competitor for
congressional honors.
Fulton county Republicans demand
fair play and dot no wish to participate
in any matter that is calculated to de-
ceive the honest voter.

The Lords Prayer.

Undoubtedly, of all set prayers, the
Lord S Prayer is the one most often
repeated. The church has prayed it
for nineteen hundred years. The pal
sled tongue of age and the lisp of
childhood S voice have Joined in say
ing the words which the Lord, the
the Shepherd of all, has given US.
What prayer it is. So brief, yet as
long as eternity, So simple, vet so
profound that the most learned have
adopted it as the expression Of their
souls. Like the ten commandments or
the Golden Rule, it involves all things
of Christian life or worship. The few
short sentences contain the whole wis
dom of life They tell us of all divine
gifts and Of our human duty. Bat
there is grave danger fin the fire.
quent repetition of the prayer, in that
we may lose its meaning and find our
selves engaged in mechanical repe-
tition Of words. Since every new
stage OF life as we advance from child
hood to old age, brings US into new re-
lations with our Lord, and since his
love and power is revealed to us in
new forms, the words ''Our Father, -
''daily bread, " "treSspaSses" and our
temptation" should come To US
with newer and fuller meaning.-Se-

Back in the White House.

President Roosevelt returned to the
white house Friday forenoon in very
happy frame of mind after five anxi-
GUS days at the bedside of his boy,
who has been critically i'll with pneu-
monia at Grot0n, Mass. The journey
back TO the seat of government was
made much more leisurely than the
hasty dash into New England last
Sunday, when the presidents anxiety
to reach his son outran the fastest
special train, The trip to Groton was
made in fourteen hours. but the re-
turn journey took eighteen hours and
the president had a chance to make
three short rear car speeches TO the
crowds at Worcester, Woonsocket and
Providence.
In each he assured the waiting hum
dreds that Ted was all right, and out
of the woods, and in each case the
crowd seemed as joyous as the presi-
dent and cheered vociferously.

Thirtecnth's Early Convention.

The early date of the Thirteenth
district congressional convention, Feb
ruary 26 delegates to be chosen Feb
ruary 24), is regarded as shutting out
any possibility OF successful opposi-

there be any of the reported opposi-
tion it will hardly have time TO organ

snow and sleighing carnival in which
over 200 turnouts took part. The
schools were dismissed and the chill

Abraham Lincoln stood for the best
things in the politics Of his time. He
did so because convictions were higher
than ambitious designs. He believed
that the republican party should
stand for the best ideas, and that
only the best men should be called to
public position by it. No man had so
much faith in the American people as
Abraham Lincoln. For that reason
he never played the demagOgue to
them. He never appealed to class
prejudice. He never tried to array
labor against capital or the poor
against the rich. Be went to them
with all the truth as he saw it, and
the people never failed him in the
greatest crises Of the Nation. Today
republicans in whose hearts there is a
particle of the spirit of Abraham Lin
coin, whether in the Terre Haute
Haute meeting or elsewhere, demand
that the republican standard be
carried aloft by men of patriotism,
brains aud positive integrity. If the
party is imbued with the spirit of
Lincoln, Indiana will continue as GER
tainly a republican state as Iowa. 1t
can only be lost 10 republicanism by
ignoring the life and teachings of
Abraham acknowledgements Jour-
nal.

REAL HEROES AT SANTIAGO
They We're the BIuejackets, and the OF.
fices Who Prepared Them.

Rear Admiral Sampson, having
reached the age limit. is today retired
from active service In the navy, full
of honors but broken in health. His
physical condition is due in a great
measure to the bitter controversy tina
has been waged for the past three
years over the question as to who was
responsible for the victory of San
tiago. The sympathy Of the Amer
lean people goes out to him in his ILL
ness.
So bitter was this controversy that
the work of the American navy was
lost sight of by the partlsans who pro-
noted it and kept alive for three years
the fires of jealousy.
Now that all of the principal act
ofs in this great war drama have re-
tired from the stage, the Ameri an
people can take calm, dispassionate
view of the situation and place the
honor for this great victory where it
Justly belongs.
1t was the American navy that won
the victory of Santiago and virtually
put an end to the Spanish war by
wiping out the Spanish navy. The
real heroes of Santiago-there was not
one hero, but legion of them-were
the men who fought the American
ships. Drill, discipline and the spirit
of American seameH that has carried
the stars and stripes to the front in a
thousand bloody sea fights added Sam
tiago to our long list OF naval victor
les. 1t was tie men who had conf
dence i'm their officers, officers who had
confidence i'm their men, commanders
who knew their ships and captains
who knew how 10 fight them, engin-
GERS who knew the capacity of their
engines and gunners who had been
trained to hit what they fired at.
Cervera was a gallant commander
and his men fought well, but Cervera S
fleet was riddled with shot, burned
and sunk so quickly that the battle
was the wonder of the naval world.
The Spanish fleet lacked what the
American fleet had-drlll, discipline,
confidence i'm its officers and the
splendid personnel of men from cap
tain to coal passer.
To the men of our feet belongs the
glory of the victory. To the officers
who drilled the men and won their
confidence belongs the glory of pro-
ducing and educating men and officers
who can be relied upon to carry our
flag to victory when foes assail us, To
Admiral Sampson belongs the
specific glory of organizing the
forces which won at Santidgo.-Al-
bany Times.

The lower house of congress has
unanimously adopted resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the constitu-
tion OF the United States for the cleo
tion of United States senator's by a
direct popular vote. This is the
fourth time the house has adopted a
similar resolution. A majority of
senators always oppose the amend
ment, and it gets no further. The
senators seem afraid to trust the peo-
pie. Senators who rely on money to
elect them think it is cheaper to buy a
legislature than amajOrity of all the
voters.

observance of the same rules that is
required IN another: that will permit

PEOPLE THE SOURCE OF POWER.

Senator Cullom in letter defining
the source of power in political parties
says.
1.-The republican party is the source
of all the power possessed by its Gen.
trial committee or its chairman. Both
the committee and its chairman are
created to unity the energies of the
party, not to disperse or peryert
them. Their duty to candidates
is limited to their election,
not TO debating their nominal
ton to the rank and file of the party.
Successful party action can result only
from concord in all its parts. This
cannot be when the chairman of it's
committee, abuses the party trust
committed to his care.
1.-THE whole of the party is greater
than any of its parts. The party COM
mittees, the subcommittee, the chair
man, and all the machinery of organiza-
ton are part only of the party.
They are the instruments devised to
carry elections, to give expression to
the will of majority in nominating
candidates. or in announcing party
principles. No republican will claim
that these Instruments ought to be
used to control that majority. Their
use is for all the party, not for in
dividuals or factions Of the party.

Whence comes he? He is all distraught.
A bramble in his hair is caught,
And there are dreams within his eyes
from regions OF the upper skies,
Found IN deep forest pools that browse
Under low interlacing boughs
And for q moment wake to paint
Unreal parallels, when faint
With breath OF hectares blown bare
A wind steals from one knows not where.
In that obscure where he has been
What are the wonders he has seen? -
in stream OF mariSh spots and springs
things,
Touched by the noon, what startled
What things, great eyes glancing through
green gloom.
What faces fashioned out of bloom
Where creatures Of the azure mist
Weave them enchantment, what strange
tryst
Of airy shapes, and what strange fight
Up the long pencils of the light,
What phantoms turning as they fed2
What voices lured, what beckoning led?
And you viii know him by the look
OF men by happiness forsOok-
Since he had been that time made free
OF the first court of poesy,
Nor till midSummers day return,
And skies are blue and roses burn,
Shall he set foot within those dim
Delightful ranges, nor for him
Those VapCrOus barriers be stirred
For he has lost the ma gic word.

AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The farewell week of summer stock
at the Grand. was inauguPated last
night by the George F'aWcett company
in its initial performance of Paul Pot
ter's dramatiZation of DauGets novel,
Sapho." 1t was a meritorious inter-
probation and permits an adieu that can
only be said with regret.
"Sapho" is the exempIiffcation Of a
parasitical evil bluntly told, brutaIly
frank, it might be added, but only the
mind depraved can pick from it the
bad that pernicious publicity has been
wont to associate it with. There is a
moral, and while it forms the setting
in an atmosphere decidedly worldly. it
is not the worse for Being inflicted. 1t
is the fruits of sin and is the better
for being told.
The version Of "S:tpho" as given by
the George FaWcett company has been
literally censorized, perhaps for the
better. The presentation last night
was well put on and the story ade-
quately interpreted. Miss Olive oliver
in the leading role perhaps does not
meet the ideal of everyone's conception
of "Saplio," but nevertheless she Is a.
painstaking artist and her work last
night is entitled to praise The de-
mands of the character are heavy and
exacting and Miss oliver meets them
to a marked degree.
Alexander Kearney is not at home
in the story Of "Sapho,' but this does
not necessarily mean that he does not
appreciate its. requirements or the
character of Jean Gaurun and observe
them. His work is at all times finished
and perhaps this was never better IL
Illustrated than last night in his por-
trayal Of the dramatic features of the
role. His work Was appreciated and
