Finally. however. public sentiment
in regard to the necessity for i'm

came so strong that the mayor and

THE BURNS DITCH CASE

motors of the Burns ditch project
concluded the presentation of testimony
in behalf of the enterprise yesterday
afternoon in the circuit court and the
opponents of the project-the railroads
began the Introduction of testimony
and will probably occupy the remainder
OF the week.
Up to this time the testimony has
been extremely favorable to the claims
of the ditch advocates, and they feel
confident that they will win their case
and be permitted to go ahead with the
construction of the ditch, which means
the reclamation of many thousands of
acres of valuable lands in Lake and
Porter counties.

Oppose Mayor, Not Measure.
There is no question that the bill
that Mayor Becker prepared was good
one. That fact is appreciated by even
the saloonkeepers who are beginning
to fear that there will be a revulsion
of public sentiment against them if
tie number of saloons in the city is not
limited.
Most Of the councilmen favored the
ordinance but they were so outraged
at the presumption of the mayor that
they Immediately defeated the measure
And Mayor Becker. who regards him
self as the greatest authority on mu-
nicipal law in Indiana, was chagrined;
not to say enraged.'
The organization of the minority in
the council was first manifest at this
time and since then there have been
: many Tits between the mayor and the

The failure to pass certain franchises
was due to the fact that Mayor Becker
refused to permit the members of the
board of public works to let certain
franchises come before the council and
insisted that the council pass certain
other franchises that he had permitted
to nlter through the board.

CONNECTICUT, TOO

~ ONNECTICUT, the land of
I steady habits" has enrolled itself
~ in the Democratic column for
the first time since 1892, when it gave
Grover Cleveland a plurality of $3.50.
Since then it has been overwhelming
ly Republican, and increasingly so,
for it's g. 0. p. margins have gradually
increased until in 1908 it rolled up
more than $4,000 for Taft.
To upset such plurality in Con-
necticut, and elect Democratic con-
gressmen as it has done to re-
place some of the solid Repub-
lican delegation that have been
buttressing Joe Cannon's throne for
almost a generation, means something
in Connecticut, where they rather
pride themselves on being a commu-
nifty of manufacturers and artisans
who thrive on high tariffs and don't
care whether the rest of the country
likes it or Jumps it.
Those who think insurgency is in
digepous to the western soil are in
vited to look at the returns from Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut.

IN TAFT'S STATE

7 F the Republicans deserved a good
licking anywhere, it was in Ohio,
Il and they got it good and plenty
Political imbecility never reached
quite so high a level as it did this
year in the Buckeye state, where Gar
field was rebuffed, Boss Cox was
exalted, Foraker was stumped, discred-
tied cabinet members were imported
to srout the old fustian, and a plat
form was adopted that was a direct
slap at the progressive sentiment of
the state.
The result in Chic is a blistering re-
pudiation of President Taft and his
spine of hemp rope. To have his
home people, his neighbors (for Ham
ilton county, where he voted, over
turned a Republican majority and
gave it's support to Harmony turn their
backs on him just about fills his cup
of bitterness to the brim.
1t is to be hoped that the Demo-
cratic victory has been extensive
enough to retire Senator Dick, the pup
pet of Aldrich, whose most notable
service in the senate was to graft in
his own behalf by means of pneu-
matte tube concern, in which he was
interested, on the postoffice depart
ment

WILSON-A LEADER

n NE of the states in which the Re
publican party refused contemp-
" tuously to have anything to do
with insurgency is New Jersey The
old gang that has for decades been
running things renominated Louden-
Slayer, the wheelhorse for Cannon and
whisky barrel statesman, and turned
down Fowler, a really able man and
the only simon pure insurgent from
that state in congress.
Its punishment has been as swift
and painful as it is merited. For the
first time in eighteen years the home
of the mosquito has stung the party
that betrayed its interests, and elected
Woodrow Wilson governor by a COM
plete upset of something like 10000
votes-Taft having carried it two years
ago by the fine plurality of S2,759.
The former president of Princeton
thereby becomes a formidable possibll-
ity for the national presidency. In his
campaign he has shown sagacity and
grasp of the problems that are close
to the hearts of the people, and a
progressive spirit balanced by a level
head, that won general confidence. He
is sound on the tarili and is splendid
material for national leadership.

A DEFENSE OF NUDITY

Editor Herald: A dispatch says the
Washington w. c. L. U. has con-
demned all nude statues. At Battle
Creek the Federation of Women's
Clubs indorsed the nude in art Which
is right? I claim that the Bible au
thority is with the latter women.
The enlightened nations all agree
that the Christian Bible teaches the
highest ideal of living; and when
rightly understood it nowhere con-
demns nakedness of the human body
to public view, as the following texts
abundantly prove:
And they were both naked, the
man and his wife. and were not
acknowledgements ii:25.
Neither shalt thou go up by steps
unto mine altar, that thy naked
ness (because of their thigh skirts)
be not discovered thereon.-Exodus
xx:26.
And thou shalt make them linen
breeches to cover the flesh of their
nakedness; from the loins even
unto the thighs they shall reach
Exodus xxviii:42.
Thus it is seen that sexual purity
and the Holy Bible alike teach us that
breeches reaching from our loins to
our thighs cover all the nakedness
which is shameful.
1t is nowhere recorded that the
Christ ever censured exposure of all
or any part of 1.-THE flesh of their ma
kedness" when he was addressing his
followers, although partial and total
nudity were more or less common in
the multitudes sourrounding him in
his public ministry Neither did any
of his apostles condemn nudity in
public. In I Peter, ii:3 the apostle
condemns the aristocratic pride of
costly dress, but not personal naked
ness. II use the revised version).
Christ himself taught us "the purity
of the human form divine" when he
gave his disciples and all his other
followers for all time to come an OBJ
ject lesson in humility during the Last
Supper by stripping himself entirely
naked est. John xiii:4 as bond SER
want and washing the feet of his dis
ciples. In those days all persons pub
hcly executed were first stripped en-
tirely naked.
whatever we become used to ceases
to have it's first effect upon us. For
this reason, and for none other, naked
savages are said to be more virtuous
sexually than civilized peoples. who
dress to excess. st. Paul says:
To the pure all things are pure
Titus I:15.
In all things action and reaction
are equal Sexual purity will probably
be regained by commencing with
making all children go naked in pleas
ant weather until they are about
years old, to improve their health and
make them more robust. Then in the
privacy of the home adult nudity will
gradually become common until it
reaches the street. s. M. S,

IN NEW YORK

TI HE sweeping Democratic victory
which has carried John A. Dix in
Il to the governors chair in New
York is no more than was expected by
shrewd observers of all parties. The
groundswell of discomfort among the
c 'nmon people-those above the Har-
lem river upon whom the Republi-
cans count to overcome the usual
Democratic plurality in New York
city-was too powerful for even the
great popularity of Roosevelt to stem.
1t seems unmistakable from the in
terror vote, with it's heavy Republic
can losses, that a large number of peo-
pie were resolved to rebuke the party
that foisted the tariff and other forms
of special privilege on the country.
Republicans of independent and pro-
gressive tendencies in that state must
be sick at heart of the leadership of
the Shermans, Paynes, WadsWorths,
Littauers, Barneses and Roots. Evil
IDENTIFY they determined to pitch the
whole lot on the dump and begin with
a fresh deal.
Hearst, the treacherous, arrayed his
followers against Dix, upon whom his
papers poured vile abuse which had
two effects-it actually made votes for
Dix and it drew away support that
would have gone to Stimson. What
Hearst hoped TO do was probably to
stab the Democracy in revenge for the
time he was beaten for governor. If So
he is beautifully left and is eliminated
from politics in New York except as
he can, with his papers, carry on a
guerrilla warfare.
There seems to be no doubt that the
"old guard" passed the word along the
line and had its votaries knife the
ticket. They hate Roosevelt worse
than any Democrat and scuttled the
ship with the hope of drowning him
and somehow saving themselves The
outcome probably will be to make
Roosevelt stronger and in the end to
hasten the day of reckoning for the
gamblers of Wall street, big and lit
tie.

(From Trao
The rapid increase in the use of con-
crete in certain connections was once
viewed with alarm In the iron and steel
trade, as superflcially it appeared that
concrete was tending to displace iron
and steel along certain lines. These
fears were dispelled when it became
apparent that the availability of con-
crete was encouraging industrial op-
erations and by broadening such op-
erations was indirectly encouraging
the consumption of iron and steel along
various lines, while directly the use of
concrete created a demand for steel, as
for reinforcing material and steel
sheet piling.
With cement and iron so closely al
lied, a statistical comparison of pro-
duction is naturally of interest. In the
table below there is given for each of
the past four decades the production of
pig iron in gross tons and production
of cement in barrels. In a measure,
Portland cement supplanted natural
cement and the figures therefor in

FREE CALIFORNIA

4 T THE time this is written the re-
II suit in California and the county
II is far less certain than in other
parts of the country, because of the diff
ference in time between this and east
ern points and the large amount of
cutting that was done. but it appears
likely that Johnson has been elected
governor and that for the most part
the Republican county ticket has won.
At the time of Hiram Johnson's NOM
intaion. which this paper, performing
what it deemed a duty to the COM
monwealth, assisted in bringing about,
The Herald rejoiced in the elimination
of the Southern Pacific machine from
both parties and declared that the par
amount thing was that all good citi-
zens could rejoice in the assurance that
whatever California ruled as between
the candidates sheswas assured of free
dom from thraldom to the selfish and
corrupt machine politicians.
The Herald held Mr.. Bell in great
esteem as the pioneer leader against
the S. P. political bureau. It believed
he deserved, in return for his splendid
services the highest honors the state
could give. 1t thinks California still
will be glad to pay him tribute in some
way. But if Johnson has won, never
theless the state is to be congratulat-
ed. He promised much in his cam
Daign and much Is expected of him.
He must not disappoint his loyal fol-
lowing.
1t was too much to expect that in this
county anything could happen, as a
general result, but the election of the
Republican ticket. With a registration
of 1861 Republican and Is $3.50 Demo-
cratic-a majority of 55,771-nothing
short of a landslide could have carried
the Democratic ticket into office. The
habit of party voting is yet too strong
upon the average voter to expect such
a majority to be overturned except
by miracle.
Mr.. WoolWine may or may not be
elected but the above figures show
that if he came near 1t he did remark
ably well. In any event, the workers
for clean government are deeply in his
debt for the stirring he gave the pub
lie conscience. All his friends hoped
for may not be accomplished, but it is
positive that all to whom are given
the trust of public office will hereafter
regard it more seriously because of the
shaking up he gave one who has been
so grossly recreant. And if complete
returns show Mr.. Woolwine has been
elected the voters of the county are to
be heartily congratulated.
