BY his own confession. Gov. Marshall
Of Indiana left the law and entered poll
tics in order to save his self-respect and
secure free play Of conscience. He could
not have been joking He spoke from a
pulpit, and the day was Sunday. Has
there been Of late days a more interest
ing discourse delivered in this town? The
speaker Is a candidate for President, and
all he says on public questions is assured
Of wide circulation. What will be the
effect on his political fortunes Of these
words?
The tribute to politics is warm, and
runs directly counter to a wide opinion.
Are We not told by many observers and
pundits that politics at present is thor
oughly rotten: that the field is filled with
grafters and cheap pretenders: that in
order to preserve their self-respect and
free play Of conscience many men keep
out of politics?
Whose opinion shall we take? Gov.
Marshaiis. or that Of the pundits?
The Indianian is not trail-blazer in
this business. We must not forget
Thomas e. Watson Of Georgia, who a
few years ago held the stage as a re-
former with the courage Of extreme con-
victions.
At that time populism, spreading like a
prairie fire. was having it's way in the
south and the west. 1t took fall out of
the law. and traced many public abuses
to the practice Of that profession. 1t
complained that there were too many
lawyers. and that many Of them were
instisators OF crime and protectors of
criminals.
Mr.. Watson, impressed somewhat with
the Indictment, closed his law Office, and
gave himself UP to politics. He became
a leader in the populist party, and after
a few years aspired to the presidency. He
took his pen in hand and wrote a few
books. Did he swap the devil for a
witch? He was succeeding at the bar.
He has failed in politics. So he is a man
now without profession. and without
impress on public sentiment
Gov. Marshall is comparatively a young
man. Should he fail to land at Balti-
more, will he return to the bar, for which
he qualified and at which gained a good
place? He thinks as little of medicine
and the ministry as Of the law. Money,
and mere success with money as the
basis and incentive, dominate all.
Or will he seek the land? Does the
farmers lot await him? Is he approach
ing the time when he will rise at dawn,
hitch up Brindle and Cherry, and drive
afeld for fodder or other stuff? Can he
play the part? Does he know the note
of lark? Or the hum of bees? Or the
call Of dogs racing in thicket after a
"varmint"?
But even the farmers lot these times
is beset with perils. The railroads
squeeze him on rates. and the trusts
make a grab tor what is left. Is there
balm In Glead. or in these United States
for such wounds as sensitive man OF
Gov. MarshaH's nature is bound to re.
ceive in action Of any kind in a wicked
world?

Taft and Roosevelt.

Senator Townsend of Michigan. speak

that Mr.. Roosevelt knew the value of ad-
vertising and Mr.. Taft did not and that
this explained much of the misapprehen-

As an advertiser Mr.. Roosevelt holds

the White House before him ever showed
such knowledge OF how to attract at.

He managed to let his light shine before
men so constantly they could not forget
him for a day. All he said and did found
its way around in readable, and some
times sensational, form. The deaf read
and the blind heard about him and all
his works. He reached all classes and
conditions.
Mr.. Taft has either not understood. OF
has Unsurpassed. the value of the art.
He has not advertised at all. AS a con-
sequence, the present campaign opened
with the public but poorly informed of
the details of his record as President
Such a calm had succeeded such excite

Both he and his campaign manager, Mr..

among the leading newspapers for the
suppression of Roosevelt news They
would have the country believe that the
whole Taft campaign is socketed in the
blum and falsehood OF cold type controlled
by selfish interests.
Let it be admitted that the obligation

performances. The newspapers could not
deny him recognition if they would. He
has the trick of earning what he gets

His present complaint is but a trick-an

in the fact that there is not the news to

A Fantastic Prophecy.

Oh, the words that were sped ere the
crocus had doomed!
Oh, the phrases that tumbfed along!
Each prospect has been most abundantly
doomed
In poetry, prose and in song.
The railroad, the tariff, the boss and the
trust
The way we are housed, clothed and fed
With fierce agitation have long been
discussed
Till nothing remains to be said.
When the roses are smiling. the crowds
will arrive
With patriotism sublime.
The convention to duty SO keenly alive
Will resemble vast pantomime.
A vote now and then will be all that's
required
OF the throng so alert and we'll bred,
And a stiffness must reign that is greatly
admired,
Since nothing remains to be said.

in the laterals being built, giving the
states the very best highways. en-
hancing farm values. making life in
the country more pleasant in every
way, save wear and tear or vehicles
and lessen the number of draft ami

the various districts establishing large
reservoirs or lakes, these to be park

preventing water famine in times of
drouth would make the populace thor
oughly contended by affording outing
places OF the most attractive nature,
serving to lessen crime and immoral
ity by giving innocent recreation, and
as health measure the plan would
be supreme, in that it would take the
people out in the open. in the pure
