4 DEMOCRATIC PoLL.

An accurate poll OF one precinct in
Franklin county shows 16 Republicans
who say positively that they will vote
for Colonel Harris regardless Of any
influence or pressure that may be
brought to bear upon them. Twelve
other Republicans in this same pre-
cinct say they are inclined to support
Colonel Harris but have not definitely
decided to do so. There are only about
IS Republicans IN this precinct, so the
probable detection amounts to one
third OF the total vote. If this ratio
should obtain throughout the entire
state It would give Colonel Harris more
than $4,000 majority. Only the one
precinct in Franklin county has been
completely and accurately polled. but
the partial reports from other localities
show substantially the same result 1t
is a safe proposition that Harris will
have from 900 to 500 plurality in
Franklin county.-Ottawa Republic

ROOSEVELT AND ROCKEFELLER
John D. Rockefeller and President
Roosevelt gave out views on the same
subject on the same day. Mr.. Rookie
feller thinks that any effort to control
the great corporations and oversWollen
fortunes. and tax great incomes will
kill enterprise and blight American in
dustry Mr.. Roosevelt thinks such tax
and such control is both right and
necessary for the oountry's good and
prosperity. Here are represented the
two schools Of American politics,
though Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Rookie
Teller belong to the same political par
ty. 1t is. clear then that it must be
something beside the party emblem at
the head of the ticket that directs the
intelligent voter who wishes to identity
himself on one side or the other of
these contending forces You may, for
instance, be for Roosevelt instead of
Rockefeller; the man you vote for for
representative may be for Roosevelt
instead Of Rockefeller; but the man
he votes for for United States senator
may be for Rockefeller instead of
Roosevelt In that case you have
voted for Rockefeller. and Rockefeller
takes the trick. Here is the principal
issue. 1t cuts through all previous par
ty lines. 1t calls for a new alignment,
new habits of thinking and new meth

THE NoN-oscULANT HoosIER.

The order issued by the Indiana state board of health forbidding kissing in the schools gives a greater impetus to lynch law than anything that has been done by Citizen Dogberry for some time. It will damn a good part of the people of Indiana into eternal blessed ness almost instanter. "Postoffice. pillow" and "forfeits'' will be back numbers as producers of the gentle osculation. What was obtained hereto fore in a formal and accepted and. therefore more or less cumbersome manner will now be secured with ease and expedition. The hunters who hunt by stealth and darkly bag great game.
 For if the law or the regulation pro- hibits the kiss, lynch law will assuredIy give it place. But what rare wrong has Indiana done herself! Repudiated her poets and that old sweetheart of mine? Flouted Eve? Nay it is not Indiana that has done the deed. but just a few graybeard has -beens and germ-ridden sawbones.
