Hughes, who was the best campaigner
on herepublican side He won a per-
sonal triumph in New York. 1t may
be that Tammany is growing weaker
but 1t Is no weaker than it was when
Bryan tied up with 1t. The mistake
Mr.. Bryan made was in tying up with
such men as Mr.. "Ffngy" Connors
and then crying about it afterwards.
It is enough to say that none of
Tammany's candidates ran ahead of
Bryan which proves that the organ
ization was loyal. Next he will say
that Tom Taggart knitted him. Here
he has better case on circumstantial
evidence, because Bryan fell far be-
hind the state ticket
Mr.. Bryan should not call into ques-
ton the intelligence of the independ-
ent voter, who after all was more re-
sponsible than any one else for his de-
feat.

OPPOSES COUNTY
OPTION ELECTION
Richmond, Ind, Nov. q.

Richmond. Ind, Nov. 81.
Editor Palladium:
Referring to the county local option
movement, is it prudent to push ahead
with the expensive experiment of
holding an election in the face of an
apparent prospect of Hanly's souvenir
enactment being wiped off the statu-
tes in January. Would Mr.. Sedgwick
flor example only exhibit undue
haste in investing $4,000 in an enter
prise promising a preponderence of
failure in sixty or ninety days? And
would he boost his courage on the
mere assumption that an appeal ex-
traordinary to the powers that be-
would sustain his investment amid
chaotic surroundings? Again, would
it meet public approval should our
county commissioners appropriate
81 900 voluntarily toward an improve
ment that was quite sure to prove
failure in short time and would it
improve the creditability of their &C.
ton any. If they should act thus lilo
gically in response to popular appeal?
Well hardly! They would be hauled
into court to defend themselves
against lunacy proceedings, and their
indiscription would be heralded from
pulpit to press, while Mr.. Sedgwick
would join us in saying things undig-
nified and tainted.
If the republican majority in the
senate is still impregnated with their
expressed sentiment in the late spec
ial session, in that they would feel i'm
PEELED to be governed by the verdict
of the ballot box in their conduct to-
ward the laws repeal at the forth
coming session, there can be no hope
based on that source, besides there
are other discomforting contingencies
that can never be brought under the
control of civic righteousness, and will
be found working eternally over time
for the defeat of the reform movement
now in hand.
Respectfully,
TAXPAYER.

THE MARINE CORPS.

The marine corps is undergoing
some rapid changes owing to the order
of President Roosevelt. 1t now seems
that if it is to discontinue the position
it has held as an adjunct of the navy
and is to be separated.
The provision of the law under
which the president acts is: THE mar
inc corps shall be liable for duty in
the forts and garrisons of the United
states on the sea coast or any duty on
shore as the president of the United
States may direct
The marine or "Jireen," has always
been source of discord in the navy
and especially has this been so among
the officers of the two arms of the
service. The veriest midshipma min
the navy looks with contempt upon
the marine officer because he is not
graduated from Annapolis in much
the same way that the army officer
views he army officer who has receiv-
ed his appointment in civil life.
And so it is that the order of the
president will do much toward straigh-
tening out the muddle. But this is not
the only gain. Although theoretically
the marine corps is divided into bat
talions and minor divisions, the very
fact that the service has been aboard
ship and that the service is widely
scattered is reason enough for their
being no cohesive force. 1t accounts
in the main for thte absence of "es-
pr dc corps" which should, but unfor-
does not pervade it. The pres
IS acted on the advice of the
. a. eoing officers in t he navy in re-
gard to this matter and it seems that
henceforth the marine corps will be
separate. When it goes to sea it will
not utilize the warships, but there will
be transports suitably provided with
guns under whose cover they may eff
feet convenient landing under fire.
The heretofore loose and changeable
forms which have characterized the
service will be discontinued and from
now on the battalion formation can
be kept. The service will, on the
| whole be a great gamer by the segre-
cation of his branch.

BRYAN AND TAMMANY.

Mr.. Bryan has resumed hiseditorial
duties on the Commoner The first
thing he has attempted is to tell how
it happened Among the chief causes
to which he attributes his defeat is
the detection of thot democratic organ
ization in New York City known as
Tammany Hall. 1t is his opinion that
Tammany either knitted him or is
growing impotent in thu city. Other
wise Mr.. Bryan sees excuse for it
ALL He says:
First, was it the fault of the can
didate?
Second, was it the fault of the plat
form?
Third, was it the fault of Tam
many?
''Or fourth, is there is any democ-
racy outside of Tammany?
IF Tammany did its best. then eth
er Tammany could not bring Tam
many to support the ticket or there is
a democracy outside of Tammany that
thwarts Tammany efforts when Tam
many does it's best
And If there is de nocracy outside
of Tammany that must be reckoned
with, is it not time for that democracy
to organize itself and make itself
known so that the national democracy
will have something to cooperate
with? 1t will be interesting to demo-
Gratis outsideto know how the situation
is to be remedied.
'Will Tammany explain?'
Now it does seem to the ordinary
mortal that Mr.. Bryan's logic in this
regard is little at fault. The first
question he asks of Tammany covers
the rest of it. For is there any reason
to think that the conditions were diff
ferent in New York than they were
elsewhere in regard to Mr.. Bryan?
Those two reasons, candidate and plat
form, sufficed in t he state of Indiana
to keep the electoral vote from going
to the democratic column. in spite of
the fact that the congressman and leg
islature and governor were landed
safely. 1t seems that Mr.. Bryan fail
ed most everywhere even with a run
ming start.
| That being the case, the Commoner
! does little homage to the man who
above all otohers was responsible for
| his defeat in New York-nameIy Gov.

lis indissolubly connected with his
name, his interest in the great cor
poration which he was instrumental
In building up is a matter OF pride.
He evidently relates with relish the
small beginnings of he company
from it's capital of $1,000 to it's pres
emit enormous bulk. He talked Of 1t as
a thing which would stand as fitting
monument to his brain and shrewd-
ness
But more than this is the fact that
Mr. Rockefeller was willing to testify
at all. The American public can re-
member a time when this old man was
not quite so anxious to appear in court
and it took considerable ingenuity TO
locate him. Then came reports and
descriptions of the guards, the walls,
the searchlights, the dogs and what
not which he had employed as means
of shielding himself. In reality to
the public eye John D. was fugitive
from justice and the great secrecy in
volved it in a convincing mystery.
John D. shrunk from the public as
il guilty of his crimes. The cartoons
which appeared are said to have wor-
ried him excessively. He became a
child of darkness.
From broken down old man, dys-
peptic, hunted and shrinking from
justice and the public gaze, he sud
denly turned in his tracks. He now
courts the light and the gaze of men,
he seems proud of his record, and re
apepars to want to clear up the past.
1t is doubtless natural that he should
do this. But the significant thing
about the stories which are told of
him is his active interest in he little
affairs of an every day existence. He
no longer regards his fellow man with
usupicion. He is for all the world
was not in existence and he were
nothing but retired business man
who had bought farm, just as a
farmer might retire and move to
town.
1t is pitiable lot he has made for
himself Pitiable, although there be
those who grudge him his i'll gotten
wealth ;pitiable-even because there
are many men acting largely on his
example are trying to do the same
thing which he did.
To those followers in his footsteps
the awful words which came from his
lips warning men not to accumulate
money for the sake of money will
doubtless fall on unheeding ears.
When the endorsement of Taft was
made by this old man and he press
of the country saw in it the Judah
kiss, J. D. merely reaped what he had
sown. The hardest thing in the world
for many people to believe is that he
is sincere in his approval of the en-
forcement of law The Ctandard, too,
has covered its tracks SO we'll that
lacking any definite proof, the people
have looked with suspicion on all its
doings.
And hence 1t comes that the public
may not take the new attitude of Mr..
Rockefeller very seriously They have
foundation of a picture scared into
their brains which time will not efface
This makes the picture ofthat old man
pathetic, whether he b equity or not
