Indianapolis, Feb. 11.-Senator AL
bert J. Beverage found a new turn to
the old Lincoln aphorism, You can
fool all of the people some Of the time.
you can fool some OF the people all of
the time. but you can't fool all of the
people all of the time" at the banquet
of the Indiana Republican Editorial as
sociation last night in the Claypool
hotel. AS Senator Beveridge stated it
in one Of his most stirring and vigor-
Gus efforts, nobody can fool all the
people any of the time" With this as
a premise his advice to the republican
truth and let the democrats try to fool
the people If they cared to. The ad-
vice struck a responsive chord and the
hearers applauded the sentiment Vigor-
Ously.

people are following leaders" said

that any group of leaders controls vot-

Urges Truthfuness.
Some person asked me what |
thought the policies of the newspaper
men ought to be. l gave it consider
able thought and the best could do
| for a suggestion along that line was
this-I think your policy is to tell the
truth Leave it to the opposition
press to play little politics. Leave the
! little personal falsehoOds to them. That
will lose them the confidence of men
fight.
| Lincoln said. You can fool all the
people some of the time. you can fool
some of the people all of the time. but
you cant fool all OF the people all OF
the time | say that nobody can fool
all of the people any Of the time. The
judgment Of man in the mass IS abso
lutely unerring in the end. Let oul
policy be simply to tell the truth, stand
by it, and abide the results. AS mat
ter of fact our strength is upon thai
larger truth which is known by the
word sincerity. You gentlemen are
it's torch-bearers. You occupy thu
greatest position among men, beint
able to hold up to the people the torcl
of sincerity and truthfUlness from da,
to day. from week to week, and dur
ing every month of every year. Man.
men do their business for cash, but i
you do your work in the greatest sin
cerity, keeping before you the ideals o
truth, you are serving the minds AM
souls of your fellows. Let us go for
ward with perfect fearlessness telling
the truth not only as to our deeds. bu
as to our purposes.
An Overwhelming Debt.
My indebtedness to the country ed

the party all the time. 1t is you VIII
