Hoosier Reform,

For many years the rottenness Of
Indiana politics has been proyerbial.
The scandal eliminated In the Dudley
"blocks Of five" performance. For
long time Indiana was not only an
October state, but an exceedingly
close and uncertain state; consequent
~ the corruption fund poured into Indi-
ana in a golden stream. and the man
with vote to sell was happy as u
clam at high tide. Republicans prated
Of virtue and paid astonishing prices
to debauch the suffrage. Democrats,
fighting the devil with five, also took a
hand in that bad business, but light is
breaking in Hoosierdom at last. In
several counties the candidates on both
tickets have agreed to use no money
corruptly in elections, very wise con-
clusion certainly, and in the end they
will be much better off, and so will the
communities in which they live. The
idea Of purity and honesty In elections
is growing everywhere in the country.
The disgraceful practice Of bartering
for votes will, let US hope, soon be a
thing Of the past The bad practice
grew like Joans gourd vine. Prior to
the OWL war fund Of 100000 was
considered sufficient to answer the
needs Of party IN presidential cleo
ton. It mounted up rapidly till it
reached the high water mark in the
many millions which the Republicans
used to purchase the presidency in
1885. They had superabundant funds
In 1900 and 1904, but nothing approx
mating the huge sum they spent in

Telephone Girl Injured.

Abbie Radcliffe, a telephone opera.
tor, received a serious, if not fatal,
shock while at her duties at the board
OF the Iowa Telephone company at
Fort Dodge. An electric light wire,
from which the insulation was worn,
crossed with telephone wire just as
she made connection with that wire,
and the full current passed into her
head through the receiver. She was
unconscious for nine hours and when
she revived was unable to hear a word.
1t is feared that both ear drums have
been destroyed.

III A FHEN we consider the fact
NV that William ]. Bryan has
wv never held a higher official
position in civil life than a
representative In congress for four
years or in the military establishment
higher than colonel of volunteers for
few months, we must conclude that his
welcome abroad was the most remark
able ever paid to mortal man. General
Grant was received everywhere around
the world with unprecedented honors,
but he had been president twice and
was the successful commander Of the
Union armies at the conclusion Of the
greatest war Of all time. More than
that, the administration at Washington
was Republican during his tour He
was known to be candidate for a
third term, and there is little doubt
that all our representatives abroad
were directed to exert themselves to
see that he missed no honor possible to
be heaped on him. They eyerted them
selves to the utmost. Yet he was little
If any ahead Of Bryan in point Of the
Bplendor Of his reception in foreign
lands, and the honors Bryan has re-
ceived came to him as a man, as
private citizen, as the foremost living
American. He returned to this coun-
try to receive the most astonishing
welcome ever accorded to an American
returning from abroad. Yet, with all
this attention, with all these honors, he
remains the same plain, unaffected, I'M
pretentious citizen that he always was
well worthy Of the highest honor that
the people can bestow. If America had
done nothing else Of note In the last
half century except give Bryan to the
world, it would be sufficient reason for
our being as q nation.

after his attorney had been paid for se-

Can cummIns Stop III

There is no use in the Republican
party trying to blind itself to the fact
that there is tremendous bolt going
On in their party. A man who does not
see it, is wilfully blind. Indeed, q
blind man can see it or hear it, If he
has his ears open. This is not guess
work, but an admitted fact. Hundreds
of Cummins men will tell you that
they expect bolt and, indeed. want
it. They say that will clear up the
political atmosphere and they will
then be able to tell where they ARE
at"
2 And then they expect the Democrats
to come to the rescue in scores and
droyes and in multitudes. But why
should Democrat vote for Cummins?
Before the convention there were
many Democrats who said they would
vote for Cummins. Since the nomina-
tion, we have not seea one. Their
own candidate, Claude Porter, is good
enough for any Democrat and he Is
running on the best platform written
In Iowa in twenty years, SO what in
ducement, or, indeed, what excuse is
there for any Democrat who is more
than half baked to vote for Cummins.
who stands for everything that Demo
Gratis abhor and for nothing that he
even believes himself
i And then also when Cummins was
talked of for a denomination for a
third term, it looked like hopeless
Job to try TO defeat him. 1t doesn't
look SO hopeless now The Democrats
are beginning to take on new life.
They say If there is a chance to elect
our own man, what's the sense in vot-
ing for Cummins; and what is the
aenss7
The bolt among Republicans is start
cd. It is going like an avalanche in
the Alps. This is not a mere figure Of
speech and we do not say it in order
to use the smile, but it is fact. One
Republican paper compared 1t to a
prairie fire. Call it what you please,
It is going to be mighty hard to stop
and Cumnains will not be able to stop
1t. Let the Democrats stay in line, as
they are now doing. and the rest will
take care of itself.

Corvallis Defeats Albany.

The seasons initial football game
was played Saturday at Corvallis be-
tween the Albany Athletic team and
the aggregation from the agricul-
tural college and resulted In a
sweeping Victory for the farmers
who made "a points while Albany
failed to score.
The Albany team is somewhat
lighter than the "Aggies" and they
lacked team work. They relied on
individual playing to defeat team
work. which was an utter impossible
ity. While the Corvallis men have
never played together before they
are not to be considered green at the
game for most OF them have had
football experience on other college
teams.
