DID NOT TELL ALL.

We think that the Indiana Re
publican Editorial Association was
bit Weak-kneed in its Endorsement
OF the candidacy Of Hon. Charles
Warren Fairbanks the other day.
This is all they could see in him:
In him we see embodied the per
ccpti0n OF Lincoln. the dignity OF
Grant. the wisdom Of Harrison. the
Geutleness OF Mckinley, and the
teaFlessuess Of R0oseyeit-a combina-
ton Of attributes that rounds out a
man superbly equipped for the du-
ties and responsibilities Of the Chief
Executive Of the United States.
They seem entirely to have over
locked many Of the HOosier Vice
Presidents strongest gifts. They for
got to mention that he has a gift OF
oTaioTy unsurpassed by that Of Soc
rates. the co0lness Of a Plato. the
genuine love for the nlow OF A
Cincinnatus. the executive sblity Of
Peter the Great. the constructive
courage OF a Caesar, the grace Of
Alexander. the legal acumen Of a
Blackstone, the foresight of Elias
the Prophet, qualities OF leadership
that make those of Moses pale. the
literary genius of a Dr. johnson.
and the physical beauty Of Apollo.

MIR. SAMPLINER'S MOTHER
HAS PASSED FROM LIFE

Just about the time he was ready
to start east last night to attend at
the bedside of his mother. Mr.. A. R.
Sampliner received the very sad news
that she was dead.
A telegram had been sent asking
her condition and in response to that
inquiry, an answer was received urg-
ing Mr.. Sampliner to leave at once
for his old home in Cleveland. A
later telegram brought the news of
her death. Mrs. Katherine Sampliner
was aged sixty years and the mother
of five sons.
On account of the distance it
would be impossible for Mr.. Sam
pliner to reach Cleveland in time for
the funeral and he has therefore de-
cided that he will not go home. The
funeral will take place tomorrow.
