"MY POLICIES," "MY NAVT" AND "MY WORLD' were ridiculed by Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, in a scathing dennnciation of the republican party at the convention of District of Colombia democratic delegates the other day, says a Washing-ton dispatch. "The chief executive," said Senator Gore, "Is and has been for some time afflicted with amalignant attack of plutophobia. Undesirable citizens, rapidly filling clubs of Ananlases, and malefactors of great wealth are In the range of his wrath. None eari hope to escape him and his powerful stick unless they I are contributors to 'my campaign fund' or are in 'my cabinet.' In other ' words that they are in 'my official family.'

"We should not be deceived, gentlemen, by the bunco 'square deal.' The panic of 1907 was presumptuous. It ought not to have come as it did during a republican administration." ' THE MAJORITY EVIDENTLY DOES NOT RULE.

,. WHEN IT IS REMEMBERED THAT this government is based on the principle that majority rules, the injustice of the local option law, as it stands now. Is at once apparent, especially when applied to conditions as are now reigning in Gary. The clause in the measure providing a majority of the yotes cast in the last regular election, is unfair to Gary, premedidated and contrary to the principles of the constitution in every sense even when connected with some other cause. It would be unjust when applied to settle a, church question," and who could imagine any like underhanded work there. Local option in the popular opinion should be based on our form of government with the majority ruling at the present time, when the question is before the people. But what a perversion of justice it is to permit less than 200 people to destroy the prosperity of a growing community, estimated to be 10,000, though in instances they have not lived in the community since the last regular election was held. This thing was done despite the petition of 2,000 people who constituted the majority of the actual voters now, and who wished to retain this prosperity.

He exhibited In the Paris salon in 1899 and then returned to New York t6 follow for some years a successful career as a magazine illustrator.

T Talks. : By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 190 by Edwin A. Nye. DREAM STUFF AND SOUL STUFF. "We are such stuff ' ' - As dreams are made of, and r little life Is rounded with a sleep.. All of us, young or old, rich or poorall of us have our dreams, and these dreams are not all of sleep. The best ofyall our dreams are the day dreams. To the young these dreams come like "a glittering' pageant of beauty castles in Spain seen through the ever shifting kaleidoscope of early hopes and aspirations. " ' "Alas that dreams are only dreams; that fancy cannot' give a lasting beauty to" those forms that scarce a moment lire."' ' With the years comes disillusion. The mirages rise. The rivers of fancy lose their runnels In the sands of life's desert places. The feathery palm trees of the distance fade away. The castles In Spain disappear like an unsubstantial fabric. But we must not cease to dream Because our life fs such stuff as dreams are made of, because life In Its fullness of meaning Is In the reaching always after our Ideals, because a soul without its visions Is dead. Because no man really lives If he Is not always striving to make his best dreams come true. Did you ever realize the difference between great souls and little souls? The little soul has few dreams or, disappointed, ceases to dream. The great soul dreams on and is always going out to realize his dreams. The ideal Is tho mental conception of something supremely good, supremely to be desired. He dreams of what ought to be and finds realization and happiness in striving after his ideal. Ills dreams may not come wholly true, but If he has seen his vision and pondered It and been dominated by it he will find par tial realization, and in finding a part of his dream he finds his happiness. Those who never dream are not so. They go to their work like slaves whipped to their tasks. Life has no spontaneity. There are no enthusiasms in their life, and they constantly ask themselves whether life is worth the while. The man who has no vision has no abundance, no fullness of life. He Is already dead. Therefore, my brethren. let us go on dreaming the beautiful dreams. Some sweet day we shall wake up and find them all come true. Let us dream. Because dream stuff put into terms of action and character is soul stuff 1 The Standard Steel car district vote, which was to have cut a big figure in the calculations of the party managers this fall, Is no longer the bugaboo that it was feared It would be. The exodus of the foreigners from that territory leaves It a minus political quantity. South Bend, Ind., May 25. Dr. W. A. Wiser will today withdraw from the race for the democratic congressional nomination from this district and will seek the nomination on an independent ticket, probably that of the independence league. "I am going to show the gang a thing or two " said Dr. Wiser. "I'm not going to be humbugged. For the past four weeks I have had experts here looking into the political situation. They have taken me for a greenhorn, but I'll fool them." The national democratic congressional campaign committee has begun active operations at its headquarters at Washington, D. C. In addition to its regular work it is now preparing a campaign handbook which it hopes to have ready for distribution by July 1 two or three months earlier than heretofore. Logansport, Ind., May 25. Rural democrats in Cass county are much dissatisfied with the slate which was placed In nomination at the county convention last Saturday. They charge that Logansport politicians "hogged" all the offices and left nothing but two minor berths for them. The liberal element ran the convention, and the "dry" faction of the convention, while strong, was shelved, and the liquor men, with the exception of one office, ran things to suit themselves. Lewis E. Beckley, present sheriff, was defeated for renomlnation by the "drys." He was the favored candidate of the "west " and when Warren E. Kepner of Walton, candidate for clerk, and signer of a remonstrance, was beaten by the Logansport bosses, the temperance faction massed its strength and defeated Beckley, and gavo its support to Warren J. Butler of Logansport. Charles W. Kleckner, present representative, defeated John J. McCaffrey, 337 to 96.

The thousand girls at Vassar college from all sections of the United States held a mock national republican convention recently and nominated Secretary Taft for president and Governor Fort of New Jersey for vice president. The convention was conducted with all the enthusiasm of the real thing. Massachusetts has decided to present Governor Guild's name to the republican national convention as her candidate for vice president. The governor's friends argue in his behalf that he is favorably known throughout the south and west, and a campaign by him upor the stump would aid the Taft ticket in this section. It is said, moreover, that organized labor, the colored citizens and voters of foreign extraction are very friendly to him. The turning down of Senators Bulkeley and Brandgee of Connecticut for delegates-at-large to the national republican convention at Chicago Is still a subject of much gossip in the Nutmeg state. It is now said that Brandegee will be so strenuously opposed next year that he will find it hard to be re-elected to the senate, and that Bulkeley will In all probability will not secure re-election in 1911.

Candidates 18 SHAW OF IOWA. Voice of the People SAYS IT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS. Hammond, Ind May 26. Editor, Times: The case of Gartner vs. Soltwedel, which created quite an Interest In Hammond circles, especially in what is called Cottage Grove ended at Valparaiso May 16 when the Jury in the case rendered a verdict against the defendant. The controversy was about the ownership of lot 76 in Cottage Grove addition to Hammond. This addition was laid out and platted by M. M. Towle when Hammond was in its infancy. It appears one lot was allotted to a wrong party, whereby all owners of lots in the one block on Logan street were jeopardized In their property rights, finally one lot remaining which was sold and bought up by a real estate firm for taxes, before any of the owners of the" rest of the lots realized the gravity of the situation. But the parties In controversy and others along the street' were shown their property, took possession and occupied it for a period of twenty-six years. In this particular case Soltwedel bought two lots, 100 feet front, from Peter Young, who bought It from the original owner In 1882 and held possession for four years, after which Soltwedel held continuous possession to date. About two years ago as Gartner claimed part of, the property held and possessed by Soltwedel, a suit was commenced to quiet the title. The case was tried twice, the last time at Valparaiso. We can say, the trial judge appears to have been fair in his rulings and instructions. After all the evidence was In, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the jury was dismissed until the 5 next day, when the decision was rendered. Certainly an unusual proceeding! We have procured an affidavit that one attorney who represented Gartner was seen with a juror in a saloon and had a conversation with him between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, when the case was argued and given to the jury for final decision. This would certainly entitle Soltwedel to a new trial. As the case now stands the land company is one lot ahead, practically for nothing. Soltwedel is one' out. HENRY C.
