1t is Il great pity that a reform of
this kind instituted by a man who has

ncgativcd or c.cn checked by politl-

the prisons of other states. for their

Indiana.

| Intcrroratcd rs to the ShivcIy Va
J raucy. Mr. Marshall disciaims any scna-
torial purpose. Has his party in the
state man as wrll qualified for the
post For three wears he has been pre-
siding over the Senate. studying its
methods, and familiarizing himself with
tile national issues Of the time. He
knows the ropes His relations with
senators on both sides of the chamber
are cordial. lie is Il good speaker. He
is q good Indian, not having left the
reservation once II there is any reason
to hope that a democratic senator can
he elected in November, why is not Mr..
Marshall the man above all others for
the place.
This additional prize thrown into the
, scale will increase the activity of both
parties in Indiana. and make the cam
paigu there unusually interesting. Mr..
Shivclv had only entered upon his new
term. The man elected in November,
therefore. will serve until March ;, 1921.
For many years Indiana has held high
rank in the Senate. Among the demo
crats may be found the names of Hen
dricks. Mcdonald. Voorhees,, Turpic,
and. recently. those of Shively and Kern.
Mr.. Shively was prominent both as a
committeeman and as debater. while
Mr. Kern has attained the leadership of
the majority in his first tcrm-an un-
usual performance.
Among the republicans may be found
the names of Morton. Harrison, Fair
banks and Bcveridgc, all strong in
their day and way. Gen. Harrison
reached the presidency. while Mr.. Hen
bricks and Mr. Fairbanks reached the
vice presidency.
The tariff will figure in the Hoosier
contest. Manufacturing interests have
multiplied in the state greatly in the
past quarter century, and all have been
helped by the policy of protection. In
deed. it was this growth that enabled
Mr.. Fairbanks and his friends to swing
the state into the republican column
and keep it there for a long time. Be-
fore that the state had wabbled from
side to side. In 1876 it went demo
cratic in 1880 republican; in 1884 demo
cratic in 1883 republican; in 1892 demo
cratic. and then, beginning in 1896, it
went republican at every presidential
election until 1912. when bull moosery
Transferred it TO the democratic column
again.
This year. with bull moosery all but
vanished the opposition to the demo
crats is showing up in its old FORM and
there is every prospect of rafting
campaign.

has rendered the barring unnecessary.
With great good nature and i'll all sin
ccrity he has barred himself. Mr.. Taft
has no thought of trying for the presi-
dcncy again. He shows no bitterness
toward those who defeated him for re-
election. He expresses hope for repub-
lican success this year, and presumably
will if asked give the party the benefit
of his counsel when the ball opens.
With Mr.. Roosevelt it is different. He
is bitter toward those who opposed him
in 1912. and is the sort of man who,
back in the White House, would make
their paths difficult and unpleasant. He
is eager to get back, and strenuous
effort is afoot to put him back.
The Brumbaugh candidacy is for local
purpose only 1t will at no time reach

by it is to put Senator Penrose on no
ticc. and insist that he be good both
before and at Chicago. As yet. neither
thc governor nor the senator has sig

ants for the Chicago nomination. But
that both will support the ticket noml-
mated seems certain Pennsylvania IS

The Entry Into Mexico.


The actual crossing of American
troops into Mexico has taken place with
no ceremony whatever, and after 4 SUtt-
cicnt preparation to insure security and
sustenancc for the column. 1t is lndi-
Gated that about 1000 troops have gon"
in the first expedition. which. it is hoped,
will hc the only one necessary. This
is by no means all Of the troops avail
able for service on the hordor. 1t
would have been in the last d"grCr uu-
wise to send into Mexico all tn" forces
the task of catching Villa, which is the
specific object Of the expedition, there
is the duty of safeguarding the border
from rcpetitions of the Columbus raid
or other outragcs against the American
people.
Gratifying evidences have come from
First Chief Carranza of his acquicsccnrr
in the American program on the lasis
of the reciprocal privilege Of sending
Mexican troops into this country IN
pursuit of raiders upon Mexican soil
starting from this side. Apparently,
rs far as Carranza himself is concerned.
there will he cooperation. The only
element of doubt in the ease is as to
Carranza's troops and the Mexican pec-
pie. If Carranza can make them un-
4dcrstand that the American expedition
is friendly and helpful and intended to
end condition that makes trouble for
the Mexican government there Will be
less danger of hostility. One of the
factors of possible trouble, however, lies
in the inclination of Il certain per
centagc of the Carranzistas toward affii-
: alton with Villa Already word has
come of mutinies in two places headed
by Villista sympathizers among the gov
ernment forces. If these are merely
sporadic cases there is no particular dan
ger, but if they are symptoms of gen
cral tendency the situation is perilous.
Gen. Funston has warned the Ameri
-can people that the pursuit of Villa may
be long and anxious task. 1t is not
to be expected that the willy bandit, per
feetly familiar with the country and
hampered by no compunctions about liv-
ing on loot. will be rounded up quickly.
He can travel rapidly. having u small
supply equipment, and his forces can
fdisperse for later reassemblage. If he
can be brought to bay and forced to
fight there is little doubt that the col
umn just dispatched will suffice for his
defeat. unless he has been greatly re-
inforced meanwhile by accessions from
the Carranza army or the people.
o There viii necessarily be some losses
among the American troops. This IS
war. though not on Mexico; war on Il
murderous brigand who must be cxtcr
minated, and in the prosecution of that
war there will be sacrifices. The Amcri-
can hope is that the work may be done
promptly and with the least possible

Won Tirpitz III Again.

Admiral Won Tirpitz. the German min
lister of marine. has had relapse and is
again in i'll health, in consequence of
which he is about to retire from his
post. according to dispatches that have
come through London from Berlin. Ap-
parcntly Won Tirpitzs health is pre-
carious. dependent somewhat upon diplo-
matte diet He is given to a rather
extreme indulgence in ''frightfulness,'
find there are times when this aliment
is indigcstiblc.
uncertain health last autumn, when
there was reaction in Germany against
the undiscriminating destruction of yes
sells by submarines. Later he came back
into harness. and it was during his re-
stored ncumbency that the armed ships
issue arose and announcement was made
from Berlin that there would be vigor-
Gus campaign by undersea craft against
armed merchantmen beginning the lst
of March.
Undoubtedly the chances of interna-
tional harmony from the American point
of view will be increased if Admiral
Won Tirpitz's affection is chronic, and
he is compelled to absent himself per
manently from the an1ieties of official
life. Of course, it is for Berlin to de-
termine whether it is necessary to call
upon Admiral Won Tirpitz for additional
sacrifices in his present frail state of
health, but it would surely seem only
humane to grant rest to this vigorous
official who has served his country so
faithfully and has now earned long
vacation. .
