If Mr. Gray Is renominated by the Democrats, which is not probable in view of 'the latest exposure by the Indianapolis Star's proUflce political dopester, he is certain of defeat at the hands of a coalition of his own party workers and ; Republican. And for what reason? i Treachery yes. treachery to the , Democratic caucus and consequent In- .ability to land a federal building for . Shelbyrllle. Was there ever such a de j llaquency in a congressman from this I district? The) latest bit of balderdash coming from the state capital, takes one back to the days of the "golden sun sets. "our common country," the "grandest nation under the sun," etc., etc., with which Our Jim used to draw tears from the eyes of the Civil war veter ass, shouts from the rabble, snorts of disgust from the thinking, and yet he always managed to get by with it, per haps as much because of an absence of competition worthy of the cause, as anything else. Now, however, with this efficient word artist as a tentative candidate, and the district represented In congress by a Democrat who, at least, is honest with himself and fear less in his convictions, it takes sorae- i thing more than a mere charge that the Democratls are "not fit" to make the laws for this nation of ours Therefore, Mr. Watson and his friends ' resort to "muck raking," and they op enly accuse Mr. Gray of what they ! must regard as the worst crime in the i political category. They declare Mr, ) Gray bolts the party caucus. Horror of j horrors! Was there ever such an out- ' rage, And because he bolted the caucus 'declare the Watson Republicans and the Bailey Democrats, he is bound to fall In that mightiest (in Mr. Watson's eyes) service to the people, the land ing of a federal building at Shelby vllle. Think of what that means, Mr, Citisen you actually have a congress man so honest and fearless that he cannot get in when the pork is distrib uted. Of what service can such a man be? 4 What if he does stand by his con rlctlons? What if he is progressive He can't get federal buildings, there fore, says Watson, he's no good. Of i course not. Let's give some "business I man" a chance! Let's send some one to congress who knows how "to please the boys back home" with generous allowances of "pie." What's the use of looting the federal treasury every two years if the Sixth district Is not to have a big share of the booty? Was there ever such an incompetent as Mr. Gray? He isn't even a good spoilsman. That such stuff should And a place tin the columns of an enlightened 'newspaper, is the only remarkable thing about it More power to the man who 'refuses to participate in this bi ennial loot, and may the time soon come when so many Democrats and so Republicans bolt their respective i caucuses that there will be no one to .misappropriate the government's Ifunds for these sink-holes of waste I known as federal buildings. The Jtem. WATSON SPEECH ECH0E8. After Jim Watson got a few drinks f Klpp and Tuck spring water at New Castle, Wednesday of last week, he 'took occasion to say that there were "more frauds, hypocrites and damned ( scoundrels in Wayne county than in any other county in the whole wide world." If this report, printed In the - Indianapolis News, is correct, the stomp of Jim's vote in Wayne county at the governor's last election must still fjrate harshly on his nerves. . A vaunt Watson. Cambridge City Tribune. . It's difficult to understand why so many cries of rage and anger should come from , the Richmond newspaper offioea because James E. Watson is al leged to have said in a speech at the Nipp and Tuck club banquet at New Castle that there are more political frauds,' hypocrites and scoundrels in Wayne county than in any other coun tyln' the state. The worthy editors : most have tried the shoe on and found that U it. Apparently they think he -was looking out of the corner of his eye- at them when he spoke. Ruah- The Liquor Question In a public Interview, Chief of Police Hyland, of Indianapolis, says there can never be absolute enforcement of the liquor laws until there are enough policemen to station one at the back door and one at the front door of every saloon, of which there are 750 in Indianapolis. This would mean 1,500 patrolmen, and Indianapolis has approximately 350 policemen. Chief Hyland puts it squarely up to the owners and proprietors of sa loons. We have recently witnessed a number of capital city saloon keep ers forming a league for the purpose of seeing to it that the liquor laws are enforced. Upon Inquiry we learn that the men who are in this league are known as "independent" saloon keepers; that is, they are not controll ed by any brewery. These saloon keepers claim there has been discrimination among liq uor dealers that some have been compelled to close upon legal holidays, Sundays and promptly at midnight, while others have been permitted to disobey the law. Moreover, It is claimed that those so favored are saloons handling certain brands of beer. This is the same story that Is related wherever the liquor traffic and municipal government attempt to mingle. So we have it put back and up to the police department, which in turn denies the charge of favoritism and the charge of winking at law violations. In giving his opinion as to the best remedy for the situation, Chief Hyland says it Is found in the strict enforcement of the Proctor law, which gives the county commissioners the right and power to reduce the number of saloons by revoking the licenses of those who disobey the law. Chief Hyland says he has furnished the Marion county commissioners the data upon fifty-five saloon keepers who have violated the law and sub ject, therefore, to a revocation of their licenses. Mr. Hyland graciously refrains from criticising the commissioners for not doing their duty and revoking these licenses. , He also neglected to state that if the county commissioners had , wanted to they could have fixed the unit of one saloon to every 1,000 pop ulation, cut the number of saloons In Indianapolis more than one-half and thus have helped the enforcement of the Proctor law, by not giving the police so many saloons to watch. Instead, it has been the confirmed practice of the Marlon county com missioners to do everything in their power to nullify the Proctor law, a law passed by their own party, a law purporting to take the saloon ques tion out of politics, a law which made It possible for the authorities to control the liquor traffic and make it "clean up." Moreover, the breweries of Indiana took the lead in advocating this law upon the plea that they wanted to "clean up," but they had no ade quate laws and they wanted some strict regulatory measure which would enable them to do this. Yet we find two large breweries, controlling hundreds of saloons in Indianapolis, doing all they can to make the law a Joke, and we witness a Democratic board of county commissioners aid ing and abetting this effort. This is not all we witness. We hear of the same thing being done in other countries from opposite motives, but to the Fame end. We know of Democratic commissioners elsewhere who have issued licenses to men no toriously unit to operate a saloon, because they wanted to favor the liq uor dealers who had voted for them and their party. We know of Republi can commissioners who have done the same thing because they wanted to put the Proctor law Into disrepute, embarrass the Democratic party and drive the state to the re-enactment of the county local option law or even state-wide prohibition. In both cases it is an example of politicians mak ing a football of the saloon keeper, a laughing stock of the Proctor law and Inviting the day of a state-wide prohibition fight. And the results? Witness the aroueed sentiment all over the state against the Proctor law not because of the law, but because it is not en forced, and the wide powers it confers upon authorities to control the liquor traffic are not taken advantage of. The candidacy for governor of Representative Clore, the dry Democrat and "corn, king," is assuming lib eral proportions among the dry Democrats, and there is no use to disguise the fact that the advocates of county local option or even state-wide pro hibition are in a fair way to re-commit the Republican party to that doc trine at the next state convention and nominate a man in sympathy with them. And all of this has been brought about by the failure of county com missioners to enforce a law which would regulate the liquor traffic, be cause it was more to their liking to play politics than to enforce the laws. But back of this Is the attitude of saloons and the breweries, speaking as a whole, but not including the saloons and breweries that do stand for 'law enforcement as the Richmond brewery and saloons do. All evils of the liquor traffic are the fault of the men in that traffic. If they want to "clean up" they can; nobody can prevent them; they need no legal help. If they don't clean up, it is their fault, and nobody else's. County commissioners may wink at laws regarding the Issuing of li censes; police departments may wink at laws regulating the traffic; judges may refuse to Inflict proper penalties. But if the liquor traffic does not want to take advantage of all these political fraiKies it does not have to do so. At the worst, all that these various agencies of government can do is to say to the liquor traffic: "You may disobey the law and do as you please!" But "may" is not "must," and the liquor traffic does not have to take advantage of this opportunity. But it does, and keeps on doing, it, and then appeals to the people for help against the fanatics on the other side. It permits itself to be a foot ball of politics and then complains because political parties and politi cians in both parties kick It around. It accepts illicit favors, and then whines if it has to pay blackmail. That the liquor traffic and the liquor dealer are "the goat" for all other political crooks and shysters is their own fault. It is because they have made themselves vulnerable and built around themselves a house of glass. In Indiana the pitcher has gone to the well about as often as it is going without breaking. Liquor dealers of all kinds may as well face this fact. They have been given a law, at their own request and of their own making, to enable them to "clean up," and now the majority are figuring how to beat the law and then to pass the hat for political favors, police protection and undeserved leniency. One more year of this and the slogan of the Anti-Saloon league, "Indiana dry by 1912," will have become an actuality.

Queen Victoria Eugenie, the consort of King Alfonso XIII., of Spain, was born Oct 24, 1887, the only daughter of Princess Henry of Battenberg and granddaughter of the late Queen Vic toria of England. Her father, Prince Henry of Battenberg, died in 1896 from a fever contracted while serving with the British forces in the Anhan tee campaign. Princess Victoria Eu gene, as she was before her marriage, I is regarded as the beauty of -the sev-i eral branches of the English royal family. She is the god-daughter of ' he Empress Eugenie, and it is sup posed she will inherit the bulk of the immense fortune possessed by the former empress of the French. Prin cess Victoria and the King of Spain were married in Madrid on May 31, 1906. The union has been blessed with three children, two sons and a daugh ter. The eldest child is the Prince of the Asturias, heir to the throne of Spain, who was four years old last May. have decided to bar politic from mu nicipal affairs, and at thalr town elec tion next month there will b but one ticket in the fluid.

WANT TRA CTIONL 1NE Politics and Politicians (Liberty Herald.) It is a well known fact that all this traction discussion, rumor and specu lation, means that plans are being formulated that mean much to this county, and Liberty citizens should take a lively interest in attarctfng both transportation lines to the coun ty seat. The benefits of traction lines in building up a town are past the stage of discussion. And the prospect of two lines crossing here should stir the Commercial club to great enthu siasm in an effort to bring about the desired result, and give the town a chance to grow and expand. Many new citizens would locate and build homes, here if we had two traction lines, industries would seek us out, and rear their smokestacks skyward. The town would experience a great impetus, and those who may be skep tical now about traction lines would be compelled to change their views. The town that is not helped is the ex ception. With two traction lines con nected with the Cincinnati, Liberty would have freight facilities with the market there that would lower the price of everything materially. Mer chants could have orders filled quickly and at smaller cost of freight. We could compete with any surrounding town on any sort of a proposition. We have had a railroad oennecting ,us with Connorsville, twelve miles away cn one side, and Hamilton, twenty five miles on the other, with Cincin nati and Indiapaolis as shopping cen ters. Has the C. H. & D. railroad caused Liberty to pass off the map? Many predicted it would when built. But they have all passed beyond these prophets of disaster. Well, there is a possibility of Lib erty having two traction lines cross here, making this town an important juction point. The head of the Com mercial club traction committee was in Richmond last week and again this week and learns something of inter est to the traction situation each time. Last week representatives of the I. & C. were in conference there to de termine a junction point. The secre tary of the north and south line said it was immaterial to them whether it was Brookville or Liberty. They have since revised their ideas and are now alive to the importance of having Lib erty as the junction. For why? With the I. & C. extended from Rushville to Brookville, through Laurel, the Richmond line would be built no far ther than Brookville. By crossing at Liberty both would be the gainer, both on exchange of traffic and the terri tory made accessible to both. Con nersviile can learn, if they try, that it was never the intention of Mr. Henry and his associates to extend from their city down to Brookville. As was pointed out to them in this paper, they are interested with Liberty in exten sion plans. Hamilton has sent for the I. & C. directors to show them how they can get into Cincinnati through the Butler county city a city that the I. C. can not miss, for big business rea sons. With Richmond, Connersville and Hamilton alive to the proposition, Lib erty can well afford to let her light shine. Republicans of Rhode Island have renominated Governor Aram J. Poth- j ier for a third term. The Republican primary in West j Virginia next June will be the first ever held in that state for the nomina tion of state officers. Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, is men tioned for th Republican nomination for governor of Indiana. Loomis S. Cull has resigned his po sition as register of the land office at Rapid City to make the race for the Republican nomination for governor of South Dakota. According to the plan of Norman E. Mack, chairman, the Democratic Na tional committee will meet in Washing ton January 8 to select the time and place for holding the next national convention. ' John Sharp Williams, formerly Dem- j ocratic leader of the house, and now i United States senator from Mississippi has announced his intention to support ! Governor Wilson, of New Jersey for j the presidential nomination. Friends of Roger C. Sullivan, Demo-1 cratic national committeeman for Illi- j nois, understand that he intends to retire from national politics after the j campaign next year, regardless of whether or not he is victorious over the Harrison-Hearst faction. John J. Hopper, who ran for gover nor of New York on the Independence League ticket, a year ago, is now a candidate for sheriff of New York county on the anti-Tammany ticket In dorsed by the Republicans, the inde pendence League and other so-called independent organizations.
