Ma Ra Erzberger 9 Vain Regrets Mathias Erzberger, centrist leader and a member of the new imperial German ministry, fears that the torpedoing of the Leinster, with the re- a murder of noncombatants, including women and children, may a allied and neutral hearts against the peace pleas of the German government. He expresses the deepest regret for the Innocent victims of submarine warfare and assures the world that "the whole government stands united" on the question and shares his point of view. If the whole government deplores and condemns what President Wilson, in his latest note, characteries as "illegal a.nd i a practices" on which civilization looks "with horror" the question arises why that government does not order the cessation of such practices.

Is it, after all, impotent and helpless? Is the military cabal still in control of the situation and are Messrs. Erzberger, Scheidemann i and the other leaders 'borne up by pop- a support" nothing more than a political smoke screen to deceive superficial sentimentalists of the allied and neutral countries? HS The Doom of Arbitrary Power "The destruction of every a i a power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world!" That sentiment, voiced by President "Wilson and approved by the freedom loving nations, spells the doom of autocracy not merely in Germany but in all parts of the earth, in whatever form it may arise. i It dooms industrial junkerism and clans tyranny. It sounds the knell of "special privilege." It heralds the new order In which no man will be permitted to oppress another or take from him unjustly the fruits of his labor. The era of righteousness will begin when greed and envy alike are banished by the moral forces a '-trive for human justice.

A Political Imposture A Fair Test The Republicans of Indiana are urging support for their ticket ir. the coming election on the basis of service rendered by the Republican party in control of the affaira. If this administration, it is urged, has proven more efficient than that given by the opposition a that reason is of itself suf 'cient to command the respect and support of the voter. Tr.i; I i a a Republican state comm i i out that on October 1, 1916. the Democratic party was in power in I i a a there was ance in the state treasury of 756.44.

Since that time, under a Republican administration, the state tax levy besn reduced from 7 cents on each $100 to 4 cents and the total state tax levy has been reduced from 40.1 cents on each $100 to All this despite the fact that, since 1916, our nation has been at war and the cost of everything has increased at tremendous rate and yet, despite this handicap, there is today in Indiana's i treasury a balance of $3.700.161.35 -with additional a-ssets of binder i manufactured and ready for sale in a totalling $600,000 -worth. This record is evidence of economi- and efficient business administration of affairs which should a Btrons appeal to voters of all parties.

A the election is drawing closer every day the anticipated and half-promised fixing of a price for cotton is still delayed, and rumors from Washington are to the effect that it is indefinitely delayed--that it will never be undertaken. The cotton growers have shown their power in the national administration and it seems to be the power of the whip hand. In this connection it is likewise interesting to' note that the south has scored again in the securing of an embargo on the importation ot rice, thus giving it a monopoly on that very de sirable and necessary article of food.

And as if this were not enough the war industries ncard has refused to fix a price on mohair, a southern product which formerly was listed in the tariff as wool, class 2. This action was taken after the government had fixed wool prices and commandeered tho stocks. Yet when these things are mentioned in a complaining manner we are blusteringly told that we are "wavir.g the bloody 3hirt" and "preaching sectionalism." Very well then, we ars. And there is a fixed determination to keep right on waving and light on preaching until this infernal abuse is concluded. It will be protested against as long as it is practiced, and there is a shrewd suspicion that It will con- i r.o be practiced as long as the south is in the saddle in congress.

Word from the house at midnight last night was to the effect that his condition was unchanged. He is conscious a part of the time only. Washington, Oct.

Republican publicity association, through president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, today gave out the following statement from its Washington headquarters: "The most impudent imposture in our political history is that being perpetrated by the Democratic party on the people of the United States by arrogating to itself the credit for the glorious achievements of our armed forces in this war. It is nothing more nor less than capitalizing American blood spilt in, Europe for the purpose of promoting party success. Every advance of our troops is seized upon as an a for the retention of the Democrats in power; every blow at autocracy abroad is echoed by an appeal for the perpetration of autocracy at home. At a time when 'politics should cease at tho water's -edge," when the American people as a whole are imbued with the one great idea of i out kaiserisni.

the Democratic party has the insufferable audacity to reach across the water, snatch the exploits of our soldiery and lay them as a i unction to its soul, a i enjoining the American eleclrate to stand by the party if they would bring joy to Washington, and declaiming that Democratic defeat would bring joy to Berlin. "Upon what meat doth this frail party feed, that it has grown so great? For two and one-half years it talked, preached, and practiced all the arts oE pacifism; i the danger'of war and flaunted the virtues of peace. The song of the mother who did not raise her boy to be a soldier was in a fail- way to achieve national popularity; the rifle was held as an i of barbarism i America had con- as obsolete; advocates of preparedness were met with an academic sneer; ancestral voices prophesying war were cried down as swashbucklers and jingoes, and the spotless robes of peace were allusively withdrawn from their a i a i presence.
