The definite announcement by
Thomas Taggart that he will not be a
candidate for the L. $. senate against
Sen. B. +. Shively. relieves what might
have developed into a tense situation
inside the party and should remove the
last real obstacle 10 the partys facing
IT'S opponents at the polls this fall with
a united front
Without any reflection on the quail
ity OF Mr. Taggarts progressiveness,
his decision will be hailed by progress
sive democrats over the nation as en-
surfing that Indiana will retain its place
in the progressive democratic ranks
this fall
The Taggart announcement should
also insure that Sen. Shively will be
renominated without serious OppOsi-
ton. With Taggart in the race, a
number Of other aspirants would sure
j. enter in the hope Of a deadlock
occurring between the two principal
candidates as result of which some
one Of them might win as a cOmprO-
mise candidate.
In the absence of any other reason
able or even plausible motive, Mr..
Taggart's statement Of the cause of
mis- decision Will doubtless be taken at
its face value--to wit that he desired
harmony and that Sen. Shively was
doing good work for his country and
deserved reelection.
His action in the matter will doubt
less lengthen the already long list of
personal friends of Mr.. Taggart. There
are lots of people who insist that he is
not the boss ne has been painted.
Mr.. Taggart is a good politician, ar
able organizer. has the rare trait OF
making and holding friends, and likes
TO mingle in politics. But when com
pared 10 bosses of the Barnes oI
Murphy stripe in New York or others
who could be mentioned, Mr.. Taggart
would stand out as a pretty admirable
citizen.
Incidentally it is an open question
how much of the Taggart candidacy
was created by republican politicians
and newspapers in an effort to stir uI
trouble in the democratic party, and
get the members into a factional fight
This happily is now avoided. Mr.
Taggart has rendered his party anC
his state a service

THE AUTOMOBILE BAROMETER.


The automobile business may be
regarded as a fairly safe commercial
and industrial barometer though sub
ject 20 a certain discount by reason Of
the tendency of people TO go beyond
their means in purchasing them.
This discount however. has been
greatly diminished in the past few
years. People have grown cautious
about mortgagiag their homes for the
privilege OF indulging in the luxury
OF an automobile and have learned
that the first investment is really not
the most burdensome part OF such
ownership
The business has been largely re-
dnced 10 a legitimate basis That is
10 say. the public has adapted itself
10 the innovation and d buying for
actual needs and on the strength Of
being able 10 afford il. The automo-
bile. while not losing it's character as
= luxury. has become a utility.
Most people who buy automobiles
now buy them because they need them
or because they can afford them. SO
when We read that dealers in the
middle west bought automobiles by the
tFainload az the Chicago show an OPP
timistic feeling Is engendered. An
impression is given that general con-
ditions must be pretty good.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
WEATHER.

January is coming to a close today
with many a threat and many a prom
ise unfulhlled and many a record
broken. All signs seems to have
failed in a mild period.
The month has been wholesomely
mild. Without becoming soft and
musgy, with the exception of day or
two the weather has been crispy and
invigorating. Il may be said that no
month of January was ever more en-
joyed IL this latitude. and following a
comfortable December it has reduced
the possibility of severe winter to
one month
With February ahead il is always
safe 10 conclude that the worst is yet
TO come. February never has been
noted for an agreeable temper. II is
month OF few variations. Its
weather is the elimination of winter.
The season seems to concentrate it's
elemental forces and launch them
selves in a concerted forlorn hope. 1t
is the final supreme effort of the frost
king to establish undisputed rule.
But for the mounting sun the old
enemy OF comfort might be successful.
With the coming Of March the attack
dribbles off. flashes up. dies away and
finally yields TO the inevitable. So
sp-ing comes with the last despairing
howl OF winter roaring through the
tree tops and slowly. with a gentle
hand removes the last vestges of the
departed season.
Already the bulbs and birds are an
ticipating the transformation. In the
garden green shoots are boldly pro
jecting themselves into the frosty air
and the advance agent of the Robin
concert company has arrived.

ROGRESS
ROSPERITY
FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS.

Many men who have experienced ad-
versity can testify to the truthfulness
of the statement of Louis Rosenweig
alias Lefty Louie" one of the four
gunner" elettrocuted in New York
yesterday morning for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal. Rosenweig saidH
'lWe are supposed to have as many
friends as any fellow that was on the
East Side, but when it came to a
showdown IT was only the school
tsynagogue) that stood by us, outside
j of our parents"
Like many others, the four boys
who became murderers for price,
learned too late that the friends of
). prosperous days are not the ones of
adversely.
When one has money and is willing
to spend freely he finds many willing
to share his prosperity and not ques-
tion whence the prosperity comes, and
these are the ones to urge that SAND
advice be ignored. But when the bird
has been picked, like cultures these
flair weather friends" fly off to seek
other subsistence.
Then it is, that the unfortunate one
learns the identity of his real friends,
and seldom does he find among them
one of those who accepted so willing
ly his hospitality in the days of
plenty.
Frank Muller alias Whitley Lewis"
completed the sermon by saying:
There are many boys who are we'll
brought up and have good parents,
who do not look out for the company
they get into. Bad company is the
cause OF their fall. They get a bad
record, and then no matter whether
guilty or not they would be framed
up"
These conclusions are not new.
They have been preached by mothers,
fathers and ministers for years. but
too often the words have fallen upon
deaf ears. Coming from youths who
have paid with their lives for their
mistakes, perhaps the advice will be
needed by others in danger of going
= the same road. If so. the four gun
men" will not have died in vain.

TAhPING UNCLE sAM's PURSE.

At the session of the irrigation con-
ference in. Denver the keynote struck
was financial aid by the federal gov
eminent to the farmers who have set
tied upon the dry lands under the
large irrigation bitches anad are hav-
ing hard struggle to get started. The
idea seems to be that, since Uncle
Sam has furnished the money for
building the reservoirs and canals, he
should go still further and supply the
capital necessary to farm the land
thus redeemed to arability.s
1t sounds we'll in the irrigation
country, and especially we'll in thu
ears of the irrigation farmers, says thu
st. Louis Globe Democrat. But there
are other farmers aplenty, from on'
end of the country to the other, whit
also need capital to make their farms
pay as they should, and who feel JUS
as much right to tap the capaciou
and supposedly bottomless pocket o
Uncle Sam, and for whom thus far tn
goood uncle has built no irrigation
bitches nor any drainage bitches.
The great irrigation projects in tn
West have been financed and con
structed by the federal government OF
the broad principle that by doing s.
the country at large is being benefited
nv the development of agriculture. l

is on the same general principle upon
which river and harbor improvements
are made, upon which the forestry
service is maintained, and other ACTIVE
tiles of similar nature, by the gov
eminent. A proper extension Of the
principle would Include the drainage
of the overflow lands in Missouri. Ar
kansas and other states. Strong
pressure is being properly brought
to bear upon Congress to make this,
extension to overflow lands. Such
work fies legitimately within the field
of federal activity. But loaning cap
ital to farmers to establish themselves
in business-for farming is just as
much business as making shoes or
settings dry goods-it quite another
matter.
