lAsENaBLe VIEW.

Juliet ". Strauss, through the
Rockville, Indiana, Tribune. CON-
ments very sensibly on the subject OF
newspapers, and surely she is correct
in her view of the fact that country
people and those residents OF the
smaller towns and villages very fully
appreciate the old family county news
paper, and on this point she expresses
herself in this wise: "Surely our
farmers and their families the better
class of people in country towns still
appreciate family newspaper OF
stable qualities paper with some
thing worth reading in it. The Ia
inevitable phase of journalism today is
the fact that no one can 60 through
long exchange list in a newspaper
Office and find In a dead waste OF type
scarcely single thing worth reading
The war cry of the modern paper is,
We give you the newsl' But pause a
moment and see if it is merely the
news that one wants when he picks up
daily or weekly paper. Is it not
rather the comment upon the news
that he cares for-and is this not ex-
actly the thing that the crude, new
"hustling" newspaper man cannot
give?
A good editorial page in which
events and affairs are commented up
on with rea son and intelligence, fair
digest of the news, a complement of
good contributions and a fair selection
of general reading, is this not what
we should demand of paper which
comes daily or weekly into our house
bold? Think of this, good people, in
subscribing for a paper, and choose
one that in addition to the news, gives
you thought occasionally-an ex-
ample OF careful and correct express
sion, Of judiciouS and conscientious
presentation of what is worth know
ing"

Mr.. Goodwin On Prohibition.

No man In Indiana is a more con-
sistent advocate of temperance than
the Rev. Thomas A: Goodwin of To-
dianapolis. Mr.. Goodwin is believer
in the legal prohibition Of the liquor
traffic; but holds that such laws should
be brought about as a result of pre-
vailing public sentiment and not as a
party movement to be overthrowR by
the opposition party whenever it
comes into power. He is not men,
Der of the prohibition party, and OBJ
jects to its theory.
This veteran temperance worker
holds that 1t is the part of wisdom to
use every possible me ans to create a
popular sentiment in favor of indlvid-
ual abstinence and against the exls-
tence OF saloons, and as such Senti-
ment strengthens and crystalizes, to
accept such restrictive laws in accor-
dance with 1t as can be obtained,
working always for something still
better until prohibition comes as an
inevitable result.
In tiny pamphlet inst issued. Mr..
Goodwin reviews the Indiana prohibit
tion law Of 1866. and shows why II
failed. He sounds a note Of warning
to the people Of the state to stand
guard against the enemies of the
Nicholson law. Among these en-
emies he counts the prohibition par

JUDGE HESS FOR PROSECUTOR.

One week ago the democrats of
Missouri nominated the prosecuting
attorney of st. Louis for governor of
the state. We suppose we ought to
apolgize for making this statement,
as the Independent Democrat of this
city will no doubt declare that such
statements abuse. and vilihcati0n of
all the candidates on the democratic
ticket of Marshall county. The very
mention of the nomination Of an hon.
est. competent democrat for office af-
fectS Metsker like Haunting RED
shawl in front of a bull, and he
threatens to attack the private char
acter of all republican candidates.
Still the fact remains that the DEM
ocrats Of Missouri have nominated a
prosecuting attorney for governor, and
by everybody, except such men as the
editor of the Observation-Disclosures
of this city, it is considered the best
nomination the democrats of Missouri
ever made.
We make this statement to empha-
size the fact that all over the United
States the very best lawyers are being
selected tor prosecuting attorneys.
This is as it ought to be and no SEN
sible democrat will accuse US Of Wilt
flying democrats when we say SO.
The Independent Democrat OF this
city virtually declared last week that
there we're no honest competent can
didates on the democratic ticket in
this county.
We do not believe a word of such
stuff, while we do cot think that the
democratic ticket will quite measure
up to the republican ticket there are
good men on that ticket, and because
we advocate the nomination of one of
the best lawyers IN the district for
nomination on the republican ticket
we do not believe those men will think
We are abusing them.
From republicans and democrats
alike come words OF commendation IN
favor Of having good lawyer for
prosecuting attorney and it is evident
that if such lawyer will take the
place, he can be elected by an over
whelming majority, for democrats
and republicans of Marshall county
are just as sensible as the voters of
Missouri or the voters of scores of
counties ia Indiana who choose their
best lawyers to do the business of the
state

Where Two Men Sat Down.

1t is reported on the authority of a
correspondent of The New Xork Times
that when Henry GaSsaway Davis de-
parted from hospitable Rosemont and
took up his itinerary, with the West
Virginia mountains as the objective
point, he was accompanied to the ESQ.,
pus Station by Alton Brooks Parker,
only to find the train was late and
that hour of sweet converse remained
to them. OF course it was utilized,
and up and down the platform STROBE
the two distinguished gentlemen. dis
courslng, the one to the other, of the
crops, the honey bees. white clover
and The delights of farm life. the
troubles incident to the raising of tur-
nips and to the ownership of vast coal
mines.
But Mr.. Davis is no longer young,
and there came time in the stridlng
when keg of nails caught his eye,
and his manly form, while Judge Par
ker sat down beside him on a box of
bolts-and the sweet converse contin-
ued until the cars came footing round
the bend, and good-bys were spoken
until the wind-up and the election of
Roosevelt.
If it had been keg of tacks
on which Judge Parker plant.
ed himself there might have been sus-
picion that the hand of an enemy had
placed it there, and delayed the train
in the knowledge that the Judge
would sit down, but whether on a keg
of nails or box of bolts, the slgnIfi-
canoe is the same.

men selected at St. Louis for the pur-
pose of leading f0rl0rn hope, and GO
ing through the motions of reaching
for the electoral vote, and falling in
the reach.
What hand of destiny there was in
leading the two gentlemen to the keg
of nails and the box Of bolts, when the
fence was handy-and more appropri-
ate for democratic nomineeS-only the
future can tell. But it may be said to
be in the nature of the first straw vote.
