Indiana to tho Fore.

From the Washington Star.
Keep your eyes on Indiana Always
an interesting State i'm our political
affairs, and for years sharing with
New York a pivotal Importance IN
Presidential contests. it IS again in the
swim and should be heard from in
something of the old-time spirit.
Mark you. there is nothing truly great
in a craftsmanship Of a national COM
mittee between Presidential elections.
The incumbent has only a thinking
part His leisure is abundant II he is
la ''gun" he can roam the woods and
fields for game and take no thought
OF his Office. II he is an angler he can
whip the streams for his favorlte fish
during the whole of the good old sum-
mer time and have no fear OF losing
any point in the political scheming that
may be in progress. He has no proola-
.mations to write, no wires to pull. HIS
only call is to keep alive and in good
shape physically, so as to be able to
preside for a moment at the meeting
.of the next national convention OF his
party.
But with Mr.. Taggart at the head Of
one committee and Mr. New at the head
of the othor- nelghbors and friends
Indiana viii be the centre OF much
gossip from now until the early summer
Of 1908 What are called fairy stories
should come thick and fast from the
Hcosler Commonwealth. The days
when Mr.. Taggart is not manoeuvrdng
i'm the interests of some man ON his
side may be set apart for yarns about
Mr.. New and his designs. Both men we
may be sure, win be kept busy doing
and denying things, and the country
entertained with displays Of reportorial
industry and imagination.

ne RETuRNEp FoRFEIT.

THE more people think about the
= act OF Legislature refunding to
John Edward Addicks and others the
$4,000 forfeit money for failure 10
build certain trolley lines, the more in
dignant they become We were told
a year or two ago by one who was vi
tally interested i'm the company that
the money was all promised and that
there was a meeting Of capitalists to
make final arrangements, when Ad-
dicks informed them that he should
not allow the road to be built until he
was made Senator.
SO we see that the people OF rural
Delaware might have been enjoying
the use OF these lines had Addicks not
denied them the privilege. Other per-
sons were ready with the money, but
AddiolSs held the charter.
Now the promoters Of these enter
prises caused the people a great deal
Of inconvenience and damage; but they
expected 10 receive a benefit in better
travelling facilities; and they allowed
their land to be invaded, and in places
graded, trees cut down and fences
taken up-and no road was built. And
it was not built because Addicks could
not be elected Senator.
The forfeit which was demanded
was to cover just such an emergency;
it was to insure the good faith OF these
promoters, or exact an indemnity. AZ
ter the people found that they had
been gulled, the Legislature accom-
modatingly votes to return the money
The motive behind the passage OF
the act may be conjectured, but we
understand that the contingent fees OF
seven or eight lawyers had something
Ito do with It.
But Governor Lea has the last say

ROOSEVELT FOR 1908.

THE New York World says without
4 any qualifying phrases that
Theodore Roosevelt viii be renomi-
mated for President and hin be re-
elected.
The World doesn't give the source
Of its information. and in our opinion
1t is a little premature. We remem-
Der that the President declared in his
letter Of acceptance that he regarded
the three years Of the Mckinley term
he served as his first term, and that II
elected. he should not be a candidate
again.
We are disposed to think that he
made it with due deliberation, and that
having made It. he will not only re-
spect his own decision but expect
others to do so. We are pretty wen
satisfied that Mr.. Roosevelt will cease
to be President March 4. 1909
There must be a little bitterness in
the Worlds Acknowledgement that re-
election would surely follow renomlha-
ton. for the World Is anything but a
Roosevelt admirer. But this bit OF
prophesy shows the utter demorallza-
tlon and lack Of confidence in itself
that represents the emocratic party
There are no sanguine predictions
for the future; there Is no man who
looms up as a probable party saviour;
there isn't shred Of policy in sight
from which to build a platform. and
they have come to regard Roosevelt as
invlnclble. Conditions in many re-
spects are likely to change in many
particulars in four years, but at pres
ent Democracy is about as pltiable a
thing as we know.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Modernizine Egypt.

From the Baltimore American.
Egypt is today a land Of elegance and
Of luxury just as. according to the as
surances Of DR.. Petrie, it was 5000 years
ago. A recent news item from Cairo states
that the Egyptian season is now at its
height and travellers from every land.
and especially from America, are swarm
ing to the one-time realm OF the Phar-
aohs. Magnificent modern hotels have
been built, theatres. opera houses, rail-
way stations. The pretentiousness Of
modern architecture is beginning 10
match conclusions with the splendiu
ruins OF millonniums Egypt IS just as
gay as ever she was whether in the day
OF Cleopatra or at a TIME two or three
thousand years further back, when Aby-
dos or Memphis was the centre OF luxury
and fashion. The modern splendors Of
Egypt are largely imported and the So
cial life along the Nile, while quite as
gorgeous, is perhaps less exclusive than
1t was 1000 years ago. Democratic ideas
are somewhat modifying manners and
institutions. even in the land OF the
Pharaohs. The Khedive and his Govern
ment IS a minor essential in modern
Egyptian civilization. 1t is really the
wealthy foreigners who are shaping
events in the Nile Valley
Egypt is yet, after the rolling Of fifty
centuries land Of corn-of abundant
foods. Recently the Khedive opened an
agricultural exhibition, and the most i'm
pressive section Of the show consisted
Of American agricultural machinery. The
wheat in Egypt is now put IN with a drill
and a Is raanod with q hfn1fncr r,arhfpa
made in Chicago, and Is threshed with a
steam power machine that was construct
ed IN ChIlicothe or South Bend and which
blows the straw into a rick just like Il
does oman American farm. Egypi, except
In spots, is growing to be unimpressively
modern. In anohter quarter Of century
the land Of Egypt will be almost as mod
