reported that things are looking aw-

victory in the thirteenth and in the
state I large. Mr.. Barnhart is now
an avowed candidate for congressional
honors but he candidly says that he
will gladly accept the nomination if
his party sees fit to give it to him
According to the thirteenth district
editor republican affairs in his district
are in bad shape as a result of the
scrap between Charles W. Miller of
Goshen and John L. Norman of Knox,
for the congressional nomination. 1t
will be easy, he says. for a good demo-
crat to win the election.
The democrats of the state are
planning to 60 to Denver for their
national convention in large numbers.
The special train of the Indiana Demo-
cratic club will leave here Saturday
afternoon. Part Of Sunday afternoon
will be spent in the model farm of Mr.
Bryan near Lincoln. Thomas r. Mar
shall, nominee for governor, and var
ious other leaders of the party will
make the trip. John E. Hollett. presi-
dent of the club. reports that reserva-
tions are being made rapidly. The
delegates from Indiana will not travel
on the special as they wish to get to
Denver a bit earlier. John w Kern
of this city and Stokes Jackson, state
chairman, left today. John w Holtz-
man will leave tomorrow Kern and
Jackson are to stop off at Lincoln and
call on Mr. Bryan. 1t is likely that
something important relative to Mr..
kerns Involuntary candidacy for the

conference. Mr.. Kern insists he is not
a candidate but he has seen fit TO pose
for some large sized Photographs He
admits there is nothing like being
prepared.

INDIANA POLITICIANS
ARE VERY BUSY NOW
Democrats Are Planning to Go to Denver Next
Week in Large Numbers to Attend
National Convention.

Indianapolis. June 30.-When repub
licans assemble in this city next Thurs
day for the meeting of their state com
mittee, they will receive elaborate
pamphlets containing numerous in
dorsements by prominent members of
the party of the Taft and Sherman
ticket nominated by the Chicago con-
vention.
The pamphlet was got up by Carl
W. Riddick, secretary of the state COM
mittee. 1t has not yet come from the
presses but proof sheets show that it
will be handsome The cover will bear
likenesses of the nominees with the
inscription: "A Good Ticket in In
diana" Inside will be comments by
such eminent republicans as Governor
Hanly, Senators Beveridge and Hem
enway Harry z. New, national chair
man; Fred A. Sims. secretary of State;
John c. BilIheimer, auditor OF state;
James Bingham, attorney general;
Addison S. Harris. James P. Goodrich,
state chairman; Congress men CLANCY,
Overstreet Lands, Crumpacker and
Gilhams. James E. watson, candidate
for governor; members of the state
| committee, etc.
Each comment will be printed along
side the half-tone of the author and
! the whole thing will be artistic and
valuable. Thousands of the pamphlets
will be sent broadcast over the state
to refute the democratic declaration
that Taft and Sherman are not accept
able to the republican bosses. 1t is a
! noticeable fact that each man con-
tributing TO the compilation regrets
that Vice President Fairbanks did not
receive the nomination to which he
aspired and points with pride to the
| dignified campaign conducted by the
vice president and his friends. The
tenor of all the remarks is that Taft
is very acceptable. Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Fairbanks was first in
the hearts of the Hoosiers.
The coming meeting will be one OF
the most important ones of the entire
campaign. The committee will meet
in the morning and candidates for con-
/ gressional and state offices will meet
in the afternoon. Chairman Goodrich
has urged the attendance of all promi-

The American people are seriously
bordering the question, What is sue
cess?
In recent years success, in the pop
ular definition. has stood for the ac-
emulation CT money. We have wor-
SHIPPED at the shrine of the almighty
dollar
Only of late have we begun to in
quire: What shall it profit a country
If it shall gain billions of dollars and
lose its own soul, or what will a ma,
ton give in return for it's soul? IS
MONEY COSTING Us TOO MUCH?
We are just beginning to see that I'M
der our former definition of things
Nothing fails like success.
Nothing succeeds like failure
Under the new revolution of thought
or feeling-for it is as yet more q feel
ing than q thought-we are coming to
realize that life is more than meat and
raiment; that it is one thing to make a
living and quite another to make a life;
that perversion Of business morals and
mad chase after special privilege and
tainted dollars are not success, but abb
ject failure
Because such a system DEGRADES
MEN AND DEIFIES DOLLARS.
We are coming to realize that ignoble
SUCCESS is ONLY SUCCESSFUL
FAILURE; that NOBLE FAILURE
is SUCCESS.
We have been slow to learn these
things But change is surely coming
over the spirit of our dreams. We are
learning that lying and cheating in
business life, the methods Of "frenzied
| finance" the giving of grants and i'm
munities to the riotous rich, the prac-
tees of rebating and of graft, are de-
stroying the ideals of our people, and
we are demanding q reform.
Just what practical remedies shall
| be adopted, just what leaders shall be
! selected to make those remedies effec.
tive cannot be affirmed, but the impor
tant thing is not so much the ways and
means of reform as the apparent
NEED of reform, the DESIRE for re
form, the DETERMINATION TO Sc
CURE reform.
Let US thank God and take courage
We have a new and better definition
Of success.
Let US be glad that we have within
US the spirit of self publication.
