Testimony de signed to s!urv the existence of a con spiracy to defraud the; government was introduce' by tlx -a prosecution in the postal trial. At the outset the question of. th3 admissibility of the declaration of PHler p.. Groff made to postCiTIce irsuectcrs came up for fur ther argument. Counsel for the de fense vigorously contended thnt the declaration was not a- voluntary one but was made Tinder duress, while the government insisted that when con fronted with charges D. E. Groff had resorted to evasion, subterfuge aa: falsehood. The court finally decided that the statement was evidence against Diller B. Groff, but not against the other defendants, and that the jury would decide as to whether it was made voluntarily of not. PostoCce Inspectors Kolfe, Thorp, McKee and Mayer, ah of whom had interviewed the Groff 3 prior to their arrest, detail ed the circumstances surrounding these conversations. Diller B. Groff, in his own behalf, de clared that when the inspectors called on him their manner was overbearing gruff and bnMlczfng. He said he had been suffering from insomnia at the time, ar.d signed the statement upon its being road to him. Tie then testi fied that the insiders had said to him that they wanted to arrest two men "and if you wilt give us the formation that ct m we will give you V. ') r.nd let you ride in the govcrr.;r.snt band wagon, and we will ride with fying colors." It sub sequently v.--3 brought out that the $13,000 referred to represented the amount the government owed the Groffs. an.l payment for which had been held up. Mr. Douglas for the defense charged that the whole case was honeycombed with intimidation. Postcffice inspector Mayer came in for a searching cross-examination and admitted that in an affidavit made by himself referring to an interview he had had with Samuel A. Groff he had omitted certain replies by Groff, but denied that he resorted to threats in order to elicit the statements from Groff. Inspector McKee under a rigid cross-examination said Mayer had said to Samuel A. Groff: "If you are a patri ot, come to the rescue of the govern ment at this time," Mr. McKee adding that the conversation generally led to Mac): en as being the one suspected of gett; rg a "rake off" on the letter box fasteners.

SOCIAL SKEPTICISM IS RAMPANT Organized, Progressive Conservatism Finds Its Embodiment in the Repub lican Party, and Its Army of the Press Must Cope Courageously With the Forces of Discontent and Disso-' lution The Inner Significance of Present Political Tendencies. At the recent meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association at Indianapolis, one of the notable ad dresses was that of W. H. Sanders of Marion on "The True Missibn of the . Party Press." In this address Mr. San ders discussed, not the superficial, but the underlying drift of political af fairs, and his words deserve the read ing of every thoughtful citizen of the state. Mr. Sanders said: One day last fall I had been wander ing for an hour or more in the country, when rather unexpectedly I came to the top of a hill overlooking the city of Marion, my own home. Here was a scene that I wish I might describe, but I cannot, for I have neither the time nor the tongue. Think, though, of a sunny day with just enough of haze to temper the glare into a soften ed light; in the valley the city; beyond the city the Mississinewa, and beyond the river hills again, hills and trees; and this on a day after Jack Frost had been among the trees just often enough to leave the handiwork of "his Inimitable fancy. I say in the valley lay the city, but not that I saw much of it, for it was embowered in trees. Here and there was a spire, here and there a steeple, there a tower and there the .glimpse of a home cuddled in among the trees. Here were apparent serenity and tranquility. Not a person was in sight, and yet I knew that within the range of vision there were twenty odd thou sand human beings. Think of it twenty thousand .human hearts more than a million heart-beats a minute: dynamic force to move the world, un der this unruffled canony of sunlieht and haze and leaves. Here are all hu man hopes and fears; here all the ex periences that can come to man. Here is the frightened pvdse of the child just come into the world and here the feeble one of the gray-haired veteran just leaving it to sink into final rest. Here are all the variations to be played upon the heart-strings of hu man beings by the vicissitudes of life. I thought of this, and then I said, Here in this bend of the river, between these hills and among these trees, is all the human nature that Mother Earth ever gave" birth to and here, too, is all the struggle that ever was. Here is the same battle of life that has been fought out on every field of hope and endeavor in all the earth since first a living creature came into the world to hunger and to thirst, to burn with fever or to tremble with cold, to start with expectancy or to shrink and cower in fear. Here every twenty-four hours is being . relived the heart his tory of the entire human race from the day of the first man unto this day; all the history that is worth knowing; more history than has ever been writ ten in books. Be familiar with the Im pulses and instincts that animate twenty thousand human beings for twenty-four hours, and you know all the motives that have moved man since nature first crowned the travail of the ages with a human being. Here, then, are the whims and the caprices and the impulses and the in stincts as well as the reason at the foundation of this republic. Here are specimens of all the kind of material that go to constitute this mighty fabric we call the United States government. Here are all the kinds of forces that on the one hand go to stay and to strengthen our institutions and that on the other hand tend to weaken," to impair or to imperil them. A Few American Types. Note a few of these types. To start with, take the tax receipt; the certifi cate of a thousand-fold more service on the part of theso institutions than on the part of the tax-payer; a stock certificate of the best investment ever made by the greatest master of finance that ever lived, and yet too often looked upon as representing an unjust and ill-paid sacrifice. Here is the sim ilar case of the man that receives say 300 letters a day or a week or a month. One letter in the COO goes astray or i3 delayed in delivery. The man spends more time and energy and vocabulary in railing at Uncle Sam for the one letter that goes amiss than in praise of the service that brings the 299 promptly to hand. H takes the 299 for granted, as If he paid the expenses of the.entlre postal service out of his own pocket, and then works himself Into an apoplexy over the one delin quency. Here Is a quartette of types a successful merchant of my acquaint ance who declares that the average man fares as well in barbarism as he does in this civilization; a young man Just out of the high school who attrib utes most of the unhappiness in the country to misgovernment; a graduate of one of our most conspicuous state colleges who doesn't "pretend to be patriotic," and a workingman describ ed by his employer as without a su perior, an earnest and sinccro man who is for '.'revolution and no com promise." Still more. Here are three men gaz ing at a courthouse. "The temple of Justice,"" says one of them with ft sneer. "Yes, justice, If you've got the price," says another with a similar sneer. The third assents. Had a thou sand been present, how many would have dissented? And if they had dis sented? They would have been over whelmed in an uproar of disapproval. It was nine years ago that this senti ment was uttered, and among a thou sand men there would be fewer to dis sent from it today than there would Lave been then a very significant ten dency Of things. Revolutionary Thinking. These are but a. few among numer ous instances to remind us that here is exactly the kind of thinking that a hundred years ago in France caused many a man of good intentions to lose his head, first in the general tumult and afterward by the guillotine; exact ly the same kind of thinking that re volted against absolutism under Louis XVI., only to fall under the absolutism, first of Mirabeau, then of Robespierre and then of Napoleon; exactly the kind of thinking that in its hatred of royalty beheaded a king, and then In almost the same breath voted move than a thousand to one to place' a military despot upon an imperial throne. Still more. Here are' books by the hundred and leaflets and pamphlets and papers by the thousand sent all over the land disseminating the opin ion and the feeling that justice is to be had in our courts only by purchase; this and similar opinions. Are they read? Yes. and more. They arp fed upon and brooded upon and passed on to the "neighbor; fed upon and brooded upon by the earnest and sincere man as well as by the agitator and the sul len malcontent. Men of good intentions? Yes, many of them., but we are to bear in mind that good intentions are not an insur ance policy against evil consequences. Good intentions, as a rule, are back of the manufacture of nitro-glycerin, but its sensitiveness and destructive pow er are none the less for that reason. It explodes just as readily from the careless touch of good intentions as from the concussion of calculating dev iltry, and the destruction is just as widespread and just as complete. A hundred years ago rivers of blood ran In the streets of Paris and elsewhere in France and no one thing had con tributed to this red flood more than good intentions; good intentions ex pressed in isms apparently, but that nevertheless led to anarchy and the Reign of Terror. And the nitro-glycerin In this ease is the way men are feeling and thinking. Silent Forces at Work. This suggests the silent forces at work; forces subtle but potent; forces as insidious as malaria and as silent in their activity as thought itself, for just as certainly and as silently as the twilight of evening steals upon the noonday to turn it into night, just so do these pernicious beliefs steal into the thoughts of men to darken them, and as certainly as these things creep into the. thoughts of men just that cer tainly do they steal away the minds and hearts from Uncle Sam. Not strikes, not riots, not lynchings, not any particular outbreak or any particular series of outbreaks that at tracts general attention; not anarch Ism or socialism or democratism or any other particular ism, not any of these but more; these are but mani festations of the condition of mind In which they are conceived and out of which they are born, but the manifes tations are no more the condition itself than the leaves and the other drift upon the surface of the stream are the current itself. There is a process of nature called electrolysis, a sort of chemical decom position that is said to be eating its way into the steel-laid foundations of the majestice buildings that stand in our large cities as monuments to nine teenth and twentieth century enter prise. If this is true, and nothing is done to circumvent it, then one day these proud structures will crumble into ruin and when they go they will take many a human being with them. But no man sees electrolysis doing its deadly work. At the foundations of this republic lack ot faith in our insti tutions and want of respect for them is the electrolysis that is at work this day. To what extent no man knows, but we do know that it is there; we do know that it is ceaselessly at work, and we do know that its insidiousness Is more to be feared than the mailed warriors of all the world. The Test of Vitality. So here in Marion is a typical Amer ican city; in these particulars a min iature America; more, a miniature Christendom. Take a map of Europe and mark where unrest of a similar sort Is most significantly manifest. The map will soon be covered with spots, with this qualification if you take another map and mark where intelligence Is supposed to be most general, you will find that one map will serve very well as a substitue for the other. The little learning that is a dangerous thing, you may say, and it is no doubt true that the general dif fusion of a little knowledge about many things has done much to quick en and to intensify the disquietude that is in man by nature; just as a little knowledge prompts many a one to accept with eagerness the social poison in a Plato and at the same time to reject the antidote that is to be found in his deeper truths. But take another map of m Europe. This time mark where flame and sword had dev astated in the decade ending fifty years ago. Again the map is covered with pencil marks. Now compare the quarter of a century of European his tory just preceding that decade with the decade just ended in this country. There is an analogy to set one to thinking. Now add these vital facts that half a century of tranquility is a rare thing In the history of natrons; tnat fifty years of peace are perhaps as severe a test of enduring vitality in a government as so many years of foreifn w-rt that already we have had forty y-isivu of comparative peace in this cr; :t . To c!l this add ths nitrogen ir ",an's mentil and phyrdesi make-up, ar.d here is a group of fact:? to-suggest the profoundest ponder!:' ?: facts that should stir us to the deepest solicitude. plsccntent Is the Iscue. Here is suggested the one thing that challenges the intelligence and the patriotism on the editorial tripod more persistently and more emphati cally than any other discontent; not the discontent that is back of all pro gress; not the discontent that, dissat isfied with self, becomes a spur to ad ditional effort, but the discontent that looks outside of self for what must be within or not at all; the discontent that looks to laws and institutions for the elements of success; the discon tent that expects , of government what no government can provide; discon tent already inflamed to an abnormal sensitiveness; the discontent that would tear down what we have in the vain hope of building more success fully upon the ruins; the discontent that sets forces in motion that after ward it is unable to control; the dis content that is ceaselessly demanding additional rights and privileges and seldom or never giving a thought to duties or obligations. Unquestionably the forces of disin tegration are more actively at work in this country than they have been at any other time since the civil war. The dispatches say, for instance,' that the Nebraska prophet of silverism dis claims being a socialist. Names are of little consequence, but it is true nevertheless that the teachings of this same man have done more to make socialists than to make Democrats, and it is a shorter step from Bryanism to downright socialism than it is from Bryanism to the principles of Andrew Jackson. And, for a number of years, whatever the individual voter may think about it, the organization known as the Democratic party has done more to create and intensify a queru lous discontent than an eager, active and hopeful Americanism, and in the minds of the people it hos left more communism than old-fashioned Jeffer sonianism. Some Notable Tendencies. And note the tendency of things for it is the tendency, after all, that is most significant. For instance, the significance of the New York election two years ago is not that Governor Odel was re-elected by a few thousand plurality, but that G50,000 American citizens should stamp their approval upon a platform that a few years ago would have been regarded as too frag ile for even a Democrat to stand on. And the significance of Ohio last fall is not that Tom Johnson went down before a plurality of more than a hundred thousand, but that a Tom Johnson should be able to control a Democratic state convention and that 380,000 Buckeyes should endorse at the polls that kaleidoscope of isms known as Tomjohnsonism isms that a few years ago would have had no consideration whatever. And now we have the spectacle of the Democratic national committee trying in vain to run away from Hearstism; trying in vain to escape the responsibility of a natural paternity, for Hearstism Is simply the inevitable offspring of the misalliance between Democratism and Populism, sometimes miscalled Bryan ism. One thing is clear: This trend of things must be met; it must be fought; it must be fought intelligently as well as courageously; it must be directly aimed at, and it is not sixty seconds too soon to begin this just now. It must be met and fought with conserv atism; not the conservatism of an in dividual here and there, but organized conservatism; not moribund conserva tism or halting conservatism, but pro gressive conservatism; the conserva tism that believes in progress but de clines to lose its head in this twentieth century swirl of things; the conserv atism that believes in improvement but at the same time in the saving grace of common sense; the conserv atism that stands for evolution as op posed to revolution, but yould quicken the pace of evolution, just as the far mer or the breeder by directing the forces of nature accomplishes results In a few years or in a few decades what nature left alone' would require centuries or ages for. Where Is Conservatism? But where in this country is to be found this organized progressive con servativism? The answer is in three words the Republican party. If the Republican party is called upon to face and cope with the forces of dissolu tion it will not be the first time and if it forsees the emergency it will be only another case of history repeating Itself. And comes now this army of the press; these minute men already summoned to the contest; this other national guard, these men enlisted not for three years only but for during the war if it takes a lifetime; these men enlisted not for the service of the sword but for the more needful service today of the mind and the heart and the togue and the pen; these men armed with the weapon that, rightly directed, is more powerful than the sword; the weapon that directed by vigilant and intelligent patriotism may remove the necessity for the sword in this or in any other behalf. And how? To attempt an answer in detail would be infinite presump tion, but a moment here. In to many a household what we call out patriot ism is tucked away 363 days in the year in that dark room that nobody wants to go to or to stay in; that room where the shutters are closed, the sun light shut out and where there Is a musty odor in the atmosphere. Let u& get it out of there every day in th year and take it into the rooms we Hv in, where the plants and the flowers 2,d the children are, and let us teaci tne children to love it and to cherish it a3 they love and cherish the other plants and flowers. The tree in the open spreads out its branches in order to present its leaves to the sunlight. The tree ia the forest shoots up straight for the same purpose. The tree derives as much vitality from the sunshine and from the air as from the earth, or more. Let us take a lesson from the tree; let us turn the Ieaves- of our patriotism to the sunbeams every day; then the roots will go down deep, deep In the heart and throb with every pulse beat. And let U3 urge this same In the schools every day of every year from kindergarten to university. Counting Our Privileges. Not bluster, not swagger, not a chip on the shoulder for others, but an every day deep-seated gratitude for the privileges and opportunities of thi3 American civilization; a gratitude in spired by and based upon every day facts to be found in every voting pre cinct in the land; every day facts in the life of every individual under the folds of Old Glory; countless facts; potent facts that go to the core of things; facts that we have been born to, brought up to, become accustomed to and have come to take for granted as if we ourselves had wrung them from the wilds and barrens of primev alism by our own efforts. But there is no time here for details, so let us go back to the hilltop and In another look at the typical American city of Marion find the one fact that includes all the others. Here the eye has tarried first at one place and then at another, but all the while, of course, the heart has rested upon one particu lar spot, an abode of peace and quiet ude and love and hope. There it is, hidden by that clump of trees. The building is not in sight, but I feel that it is there. And then I recall that but a short time ago in the history of na tions to go wandering for an hour un protected a thousand to one would be never to return, or if to return then only to find the home in ashes and the loved ones .rnonrr. the embers. Then why is it that today one may wander away with the assurance of a safe re turn to that unpretentici:s but home-, like home? . What We Owe Uncle Sam. Then I look again, and I see those spires and those steeples and that tower, and over yonder where the brok en veterans are I see that streaming banner that I need not name for its name is "as old as the glory of God' and this is the answer. This is why. Here are institutions, not perfect, it is true, but the best, nevertheless, that have been wrung irom the centuries; here are privileges and opportunities that you and I found awaiting us when we came into this country; privileges and opportunities that we would scale mountains and cross seas for if they were not already at hand; privileges and opportunities that we could not earn for ourselves and institutions that we could not build for ourselves in a score of lifetimes, and back of all these Uncle Sam. And this same Uncle Sam, net a saint, net a Solomon, but the best Uncle Sam nevertheless that you or I or anybody ever had. These things I think of with this same Uncle Sam in mind, and then I say: There is not much of me, but what there is. Is his; what there is, is with him and for him, heart and soul, to the last breath against all the powers of darkness, if need be; against the world, the flesh and the devil. Let us make this our political re ligion in this day of rampant social skepticisms, and let us preach it with the zeal that is justified by the right eousness of the c?use. Then in this, it seems to mo, we ?h?!l fr?d not only "The True Mission of the Party Press" this day, but also the splendid oppor tunity and the glorious privilege. THE CAMPAIGN ISSUES Hon. Charles L. Henry CeHnes Them at Indiana Editorial Convention. At the banquet with which the an nual convention of the Indiana Repub lican Editorial Association was inaug urated, Hon. Charles L. Henry, owner of the Indianapolis Journal, spoke on "The Issues of the Imp ending Cam paign." In part he snid that the Re publicans do not make campaign is sues in the common acceptance of the term. They inaugurate policies and stand for the advancement, progress and prosperity of the nation the Dem ocrats raise the issues, setting up any and every sort of cry that might catch a vote at the polls. "One difficulty that the Republicans tare had to con tend with," said Mr. Henry, "is that, while everything good, politically, that has been done for the country has been brought about by the Republi cans, everything bad has been charged against them by the Democrats be cause they didn't prevent it." Mr. Henry said it was due largely to the untiring efforts of the Republican newspapers of the state that Indiana occupies Its present proud position and has made such marked advance ment, and that It rests with them to keep up the good work. The decreas ing of the state debt by almost $6,000, 000 within the last eight years, he said, has been brought about by Re publican administration of state af fairs, and the Republican press must contend for a continuance of this pol icy. We must insist upon the admin istration of state affairs in the future as in the past and upon the business like, nonpartisan management of state Institutions. In national affairs the Democrats are pledged to do some thing with the currency just what nobody knows. The Republican party stands where it has stood all the time for sound money. .
