"Taggart cannot afford," said one, "to permit himself to go on a ticket unless victory IB assured because his enemies, both in and out of his party would, if disaster befell, blame Taggart for it. With Taggart a candidate, If the ticket were beaten the cry would at once be raised that the disaster was due to Taggart and his power would weakened in the state." This is indeed cogent reasoning. Taggart is the strongest man the Democrats could run and they know it.

But if he ran and defeat came i' would always be said that the ticket was weighted down with Taggart. He intends to keep himself from -being an obstacle in the path of Democracy. He intends to be out of it when the smash comes. And, after the certain defeat of the Democratic ticket next November Taggart, instead of being an also ran will remain enthroned In 'leadership. Oily Tom.

He Will Do It When the evening paper pleasantly intimates that the Journal-Tribune is unfriendly to Mayor G-uthrie we are content, with the rejoinder that during Mr. Gnthrie's administration we have on frequent occasions commended certain official acts and criticised others.

In our opinion Mayor Giifchrie's intentions are good and we persist in the belief that he is tihe man v.o correct certain evils complained of. Furthermore, we believe he do it and do it promptly when he perceives fhat pu'blic sentiment is behind the movement for a stricter law enforcement. -cannot Quite a'gree with the inference of the that 'because the Schilt case failed for lack of proof, forsooth tihe house is not a resort. Nor do Tve question tihe decision of Judge West. He has -be-en diligent and impartial in the performance of his duties, and as a judge he cannot legally make a finding of guilt without evidence to support it.

But with police authorities it is a different matter. It is known that -the Sehi't place is a bouse of il! repute and knowing this the administration onti say dose up and if will olosp. This and kindred enterprises iviil pro out of Ti-usinrss ins if Mayor i u-ill insue the orflpr witffiont crossing his fingers or lettins his fall. Keeping the Record Emily Grant Hutchins, a learned woman of the new era, writing in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, attempts to make a case for the humble buc- ilent prune, citing not only its ancient origin, its rivalry of the date in lical times and its popularity in Athens at the period of Greece's greatest glory, but also its excellent standing in cultured Boston.

It will not do, Emily. Civilization may be founded on the prune, for all we know, and Abraham may have prized it above his flocks and herds, but the prune is the great American joke and its character cannot be changed by research. Further, everybody who knows a.nytliing knows that Boston culture is due to the bean and not to the prune. The bean is not to be sacrificed to any usurper of lineage never so ancient. It is firmly fixed in the public mind that the bean is the foundation of culture, the prune the eternal boarding house jest.

Though Coi. Roosevelt discovered a new bird, presidential candidates will have to worry along with the same old bee. Just to emphasize our own cultural superiority we now and then have a fatal raiiroacl wreck. Hours devoted to sleep by this neurotic generation are an interest bear ng investment. Editorials Indiana Papers A SLOW PROCESS.

Approximately $6,000 has been raised as a result of the appeal made by little Majorie Sterrett, the New York school girl who donated a dime. to start a fund to buy Uncle Sam a battleship to be named "America." Majorie's patriotism cannot be impeached, but the prospect for the battleship is not bright. At the rate at which the dimes have been accumulating it will take just 288 years to buy that battleship. Some of our navy officers think we will need it before Item. BARTHOLOMEW.

One of the good suggestions made in connection with the Indiana centennial this year is that of George Pence of Columbus, which would provide for a popular fund, to be raised in Bartholomew county, to pay for a statue of -Gen. Joseph Bartholomew, for whom Bartholomew county was named. Pence would have the people of Bartholomew county place the Bartholomew memorial statue in the court house square. It is understood an effort will be made to carry out the Pence suggestion. Further, it is urged that a marker he set to point out the trail over which Bartholomew and hie soldiers, in 'the pioneer days, pursued a marauding band of Delaware Indians following murderous depredations by the redskins.

Pence has for many years had in mind the memorial statue or monument in honor of General Bartholomew. It seems that this year, with the centennial in prospect, the people are more willing than formerly to give heed to the monument plan. If the people of Bartholomew county are ready to provide for the monument in addition to the local cen- ennial celebration" the Bartholomew memorial will fit in splendidly with he general idea of commemoration ind historical education for posterity.

Of Preparedness Plans ECRETARY DANIELS URGED AP PROPRIATION OF $2,000,000 FOR AIRCRAFT. Oily Tom Again Senator Thomas Taggart gires evidence that the name "Oily Tom" was not given him i reason. In a statement issued at Washington yesterday Taggart announces that he will not be a candidate for United States senator and this' is the most ominous news the Democrats of Indiana have heard in many a day. Taggart, of course, assigns the conventional reasons and, also of course, the Democrats of Indiana will at once have a ready explanation and assure us that there is nothing of political forecast in Taggart's decision. When Tag.eart was' appointed by Ealston and the question arose as to IBy Associated Washington, March final -re iew of the administration's prepared ess plans for the navy was given the ouse naval commi'ttse today by Sec etary Daniels, who will be.

the last vitness heard before the committee egins framing its bill. The secretary added in several re to the program he had mapper ut in estimates previously submitted to the committee. He urged the establishment of a government plant to manufacture navy projectiles; raised the estimate for the proposed research laboratory from $1,000,000 to asked for about 15,000 additional men instead of 10,000, and proposed that civilian educators -be placed at the head of the non-military departments of the naval academy to release line officers for active service. Requesting that all provisions for air service bo stricken out of the five- year building program, Mr. Daniels urged an appropriation of $2,000,000 for aircraft this year.

He explained that there was no way of determining what expenditure would be necessary in the future. Daniels Criticised. Criticism of Secretary Daniels' administration of the department, foreshadowed by the -course of -certain committee members in examining previous witnesses, probably will materialize tomorrow. The secretary was allowed to proceed with interruption today, taking up the items in the program one by one. He will -conclude his statement tomorrow and he questioned by the -committeemen.

Questions of new construction of battleships versus battle cruisers, of the size and speed of future submarines and other subjects much debated during the prolonged hearing, were not reached. Mr. Daniels' statements, outside of those relating to personnel, had to do almost wholly with industrial problems of the service. be well for the people to consider what enduring markers may be erected to draw the attention of coming generations, to the greatness and. achievements of early Times.

SPRING AND ONIONS. Spring is here--officially. Spring that "unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing the time when "a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of spring onions. Which reminds us. It is said that Luther Burbank is experimenting with the onion to deodorize it.

Hitherto we have had great respect for the wizard of horticulture. A spineless cucumber, a prickless black raspberry bush, a seedless grape, a pippinless apple and stpneless plum fill us with admiration for this genius of the California gardens. But to lay ruthless and violent hands on the succulent spring onion is, to our mind, nothing short of criminal. We often hear tihe query, "What is home without a mother?" We ask, "What is a flat without the periodical welcome occasioned by the delightful redolence arising from the cooking of steak and onions?" Banish the onion from the home, or substitute an insipid and odorless spring visitor and you rob the salad of its principal charm and leave us poor indeed. If Wizard Burbank longs for fresh laurels let him focus his genius upon producing a cases presents itself, boneless catfish or an odorless limburger.

But hands off the spring onion! We love it for the enemies it has Courier. THREE BASKETBALL GAMES AT ARMORY GAMES ARE UAiST O'NES OF SEASON AND GOOD CROWD IS EXPECTED.

IBy AiMdatcd Prui.J Washington, March determined ifight was 'begun in the senate today by Senator Underwood of Alabama to incorporate in the army re-organization hill a provision looking to the establishment of a government plant to make nitrogen fro mt'lie air for the manufacture of explosives. Efforts to incorporate such legislation in the house 'bill were defeated.

Sena-tor Underwood declared that no national defense program would be complete without this provision. 'He attacked the Du-Pont Powder company and its agents, charging them with exerting powerful influences to defeat such because of a 'desire to con- all -powder business in the United States and to prevent the government from enterting the field. In this connection he declared that Hudson Maxim, a member of the navy's civilian advisory iboard, a consult- ng engineer of the DuPon-t company, and as such had characterized congressmen who fought for a government nitrate plant as "pork 'barrel pd- ticians." i Make No Charges. "So says this corporation agent ipeaking for his own interests and hose of is employers," said the Ala- senator. "I do not wish to make barges against bis corporations.

Tine JuPont Powder company is in a legitimate 'business rfaturaHy does not vant the governmer-t to compete with t. It wishes to control all tihe power of the country. It lias a Igtot to haive its agents here to defeat my proposal, -but the senate of Fnited States has no right to permit ie DuiPont Powder company to defeat his legislation." Early in the day -Senator 'Saulsfbury, of Delaware, introduced a 'bill prepared by counsel company providing for granting of 50-year water-power site leases to corporations, which would guarantee to erect a hydro-electric plant for -production of nitrate from the air and supply the government at a price to be fixed toy the secretary of war. Senator Underwood referred to this measure in prefacing, his attack upon the powder company.
