TURKISH MINISTER IS
 RECALLED FROM POST

Washington, Aug. 13- -Mehmed Ali Bey, the Turkish minister to the United States has been recalled .,by his government. He says that the action on the part of the sultan ia in . accord with plan to reorganize the Turkish diplomatic service, but in Washington it is believed that tho recall has to do with political condi tions in the Ottoman empire.
 Among othcr things giving rise to tho belief that all is not well with Mehmed Ali Bey is tho fact that his father is fleeing to the United States to escape the wrath of the sultan. All Boy says that tho charge that his father is guilty ofinoiting the Armen- ian massacres is false.

Honest and Capable ticket.

Harrison county Republicans at a
primary election last spring chose a
county ticket for the fall election
they are proud of. The ticket is con-
stituted from top to bottom of men
that any citizen of Harrison county
can support with splendid conscience.
One need not scan the ticket close
~ to become fully convinced OF the
fact that it is made up of men, who
have a high sense of public duty:
Those who are now in public service
and on the ticket have made clean
pafgn the Democratic leaders,
though diligently in quest of flaws,
have failed completely to discover a
single official or other act of an i'm
proper nature, with which to accuse
them. The other candidates on the
ticket are men of unquestioned repu-
tation in business and their lives
have been free from dishonesty,
trickery or other acts, which would
place them under the ban of public
regard and favor. They are men
whose capability to discharge the of
fees to which they have been nomi-
mated and will be elected is recog-
nized as not only ample but also
superior.
The election of this ticket means
that the affairs OF Harrison county
will be administered faithfully and
progressively and not negatively as
they are members of political party
of progress and not of a political par
ty OF negation. They will see to 1t hat
no backward steps are. taken and
they will not be an experiment.
Their election will insure against the
retrogressive steps the Democratic
party would take for the county in
the event of the election of the Dem
ocratic candidates.
The Democratic charge made every
campaign that the county is threat
ened and placed in jeopardy by the
prospects of Republican success is
Just as frequently exploded. 1t is
recalled that the Democratic leaders
never fall to declare that the Repub-
lican nominees, if elected to county
office, will not make good, but it Is
just as wildly recalled that they do
make good. The future may we'll be
judged by the past and thus all
know that the present Republican
nominees for county Office will make
good in office. On the other hand
the voters generally know that the
Democratic ticket is risk and do not
feel assured that the experiment
would prove safe aud harmless.

The Tnrln and Tnft

In his speech on the tariff at Min
neapolis the other night, Senator
Albert J. sBeveridge set forth the Re
publican party's position upon that
important question succinctly and
clearly when he said:
In the new tariff which we will
make Immediately after President
Taft's inauguration we Repu blicans
propose to reject alike the long since
gray and toothless theory of a tariff
forvrevenue-only and the now halt
and crippled, theory OF a single pro-
tective tariff, and adopt instead Of
either a revenue system that will pro-
tect American industry and labor,
and at the same time win new mar
kets all over the world for everything
that American industry and labor
produce.
Justice is the sovereign word OF
human government, said Senator
Beveridge, in concluding his speech.
Justice is the reason for an explana-
ton of all the Roosevelt policies.
We passed the Railroad Rate Bill to
secure Justice to the people; we will
amend it TO make that justice sill
more perfect. We passed the Meat
Inspection and Pure Food Laws to Sc
cure Justice to the consumer; estaIb-
lished the Department OF Commerce
and Labor as the guardian OF Justice
to the workingman and merchant.
Theodore Roosevelt stopped the great
coal strike in the name of Justice;
