ANOTHER HARD LEMON FOR J. FRANK. ONE HANLY. J. FRANK HANLY, is still coming in for his share of the fiercest political lambusting that has ever been handed out to any politician. The Vincennes Commercial is the latest republican paper to consider the chautauquan governor. It says that "the thing that hurts is that the republican leaders let that howling political hypocrite, J. Frank Hanly, dictate the

policy of the party. Every man in the republican caucusses knew that county optfon would kill the republican party, but not a man among them had the courage to express his convictions. They further knew the prohibitionists would stick to their own ticket, and the very day the republican convention adjourned in April they knew they stared sure defeat in the face. But of all the sore spots on the republican body is J. Frank Hanly, a political fraud, an ingrate, an incompetent monstrosity who is hated by nearly aa mankind, and if the presidential campaign had not been on this year, Indiana would have gone democratic by 200,000. All on account of Hanly. Hanlyism cleaned out the governor's office; Hanlyism cleaned out the congressional delegation and Hanlyism wiped up the republican legislature and ushered the enemy into power. Have the republicans gotten enough of this howling political dervish ? Has he not "done up" the whole pie counter, crust and crumb ? He never fooled us with his hypocritical cant ! Never in the world, but the wise men at Indianapolis practiced a kind of slef-hynotism on theselves and some of them believed that all the democrats were going to vote the republican ticket. But they do not do anything of the kind, do they ? They vote their own ticket and are not swerved by any such issues as county local option matters. Jim Watson had to take the trimming he got because of the fool policies of certain republican fakirs and Hanly is the biggest fakir of the bunch. We were "wounded in the house of our friends" and all the boys had to go because of the colossal mistakes of those who cared more for self than party. The congressional delegation, Senator Hemenway and Jim Watson are all splendid men and deserve a better fate and should have been elected." - GET YOUNG BLOOD IN ACTION.

With the announcement of the resignation of James P. Goodrich from the republican state chairmanship comes the news that Colonel W. S. Durbin is to be selected as his successor. WTith all due respect to Mr. Durbin, who is a veteran in politics, it will do well for the republicans to look about them a little and consider other men who will fill the bill. There is great need of young men who belong to the present generation, men who can do things. Plenty of these have been in evidence during the late campaign. Lake county furnished one example in F. R. Schaaf. It will be a good thing for the party were it to cut loose from the veterans in politics and get some new blood and sinews into the political arena. Old men are good for council but it takes the young men to carry on the battle. An example of the young man in politics is Frank Hitchcock. The wise ones scouted him and shook their locks, but he "made good." Results are what count in politics. The man who "is there" with the results is the man to tie to. 9 MR. KERN'S WEAK PLEA. John W. Kern of Indianapolis is trying to get the senatorship from Indiana on the plea that he knew "he had no chance of success" in the late campaign. Surely Mr. Kern cannot be correctly quoted. Yet papers all over the state give the same version and many of them are democratic. During the campaign Mr. Kern expressed the fullest confidence in his election and said so on the stump time and again, of course other candidates have said the same thing but if Mr. Kern says that he had no confidence in his success it will be an eye-opener for many of his supporters and men who voted for him when they knew that he didn't believe his own words. He certainly induced a lot of people to think he was confident of election and many of them risked their money on Mr. Bryan's and his confidence. WATCH OUT FOR BURGLARS.

This is the time of the year when the hungry and starving crook who is driven from the highway and byway into the haunts of man and the bigger cities, starts out to rob and slay for loot. He must have food to eat and clothes to wear and in his desperation tries the easiest way to get it by stealing. Northern Indiana is now overrun with burglars. The daring South Bend affair and the many crimes and hold-ups in various parts of the Calumet region should be a warning to people to leave their houses carefully guarded when they go out at night. There is only one remedy for housebreakers and that is the revolver. The daring thief who fired twice at a Hammond police officer last night shows how desperate they are. Meet lead with lead .and be prepared for the visits of the desperate midnight marauders. EDUCATION FOR SERVICE.

In the matter of education for service that distinguished educator, President Eliot of Harvard, says: "The bread and butter motive should not prevail in a university's professional school to any greater extent than it should prevail in a college. In both departments it is reasonable for the individual student to keep in view the eans of earning a livelihood; but in both alike the dominant motive should be the desire to be serviceable, and to be well equipped to give, and to enjoy giving, effective service," GOV.-ELECT MARSHALL is trying to discourage the hungry fellows who are crowding up to the pie counter. He says: "I suppose those who voted for me did it for the sake of their party." There is a good deal of ingenuousness about that statement but we are afraid the worthy executive-to-be will have to out with something stronger before he can discourage the pack of place-hunters. ... AND INCIDENTALLY the democratic governors-elect who are to speak at one banquet might explain to what extent they owe their election to the rum-vote of their respective states. It is generally admitted by all parties that its assistance was something formidable.

FOR INSPECTION AT

eart to Heart

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. , Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. LOVE IS DEVOTION. Should you chance to read the story of the devotion of General David K. "Ward well in the pages of Balzac you would declare the tale is overdrawn. Truth Is not only stranger than fiction; it is oftentimes more beautiful. General Wardweli was a veteran of two wars, a retired United States army officer. Some time ago Mrs. Wardweli contracted leprosy. As the disease developed she felt she must leave her husband. Secretly and with much suffering she got to Los Angeles and gave herself up to the authorities. They held her for deportation to a leper colony. But the old warrior would not give up his wife. He pleaded for permission to take her to Mexico. He was refused. Then one morning the window of his wife's room in the hospital was found open. The old soldier had taken his wife out by a ladder. They left a note. It read: "We've gone to die together." Fleeing toward Mexico, they "topped at Tombstone, Ariz. The health authorities said the couple must be sepa rated, and the wite returned to Los Angeles. The grizzled, veteran appealed to the federal governmeiit he had served o long. There was much correspondence Finally it was agreed tbe county au thorities should have charge. Meantime e general and his leper wife went up the side of the mountain and camped In a tent There they held the fort for several weeks. General Wardweli courted death. He bald: "I have only a few years to live. I cannot bear to leave my wife to the care of strangers. If I become a leper they will not take her away from me." But one day the old general caught cold and died shortly afterward. They buried him with military honors and sent the old wife back, to Los Angeles. She Is living In a "dog tent" in daily hopes of Joining her husband In the land where is no leprosy. Can you match this story of devotion? Love is more than sentiment and kisses. It Is expressed in a single word DEVOTION. Much that masquerades In the guise of love is froth of sentiment, the pass Ing whim of passion. Tbe love of this old soldier for hie leper wife, victim of a loathsome disease, Is real love love void of self, long suffering love that abides. LOVE IS DEVOTION. THIS DATE IX HISTORY.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS This is the day that news of the proposed Elkins-Abruzzi marriage should be out. Tomorrow the news will be that they are not to be married, and so on ad lib and ad nauseam. When a woman's friends begin to tell her that she looks young it is time' for her to be looking in the glass for gray hair and other horrible signs. Politics is fast slipping away into the past. ' ' For two ' days now the Indianapolis News hasn't had anything it its columns about "Lake county's Hunky vote." It doesn't alt rays go to show whea

CARRIES OVER VETO. After several weeks of discussion and a veto by the mayor of Richmond, Schillinger, the city council tonight voted the annual appropriation of $4,000 to the Reld memorial hospital. The mayor's veto was based on the ground that the hospital is not in the proper sense a public institution and that the appropriation is illegal. WANTS A RECOUNT. ' Patrick J. Kelleher, of Columbus, the democratic nominee for state statistician, who was defeated by J. L. Feetz filed a petition in the circuit court this morning asking a recount of the vote In the fifth precinct of Bartholomew county. CUPID FOOLS TRUANT OFFICER. !

Sadie American of the National Coun cil of Jewish Women delivered a thoughtful and enlightening address this afternoon on "Imagination a Factor in Tuberculosis" at the annual meeting of the National Woman's Council in session at Union City. A man refuses to atay Out late at night That he loves Ills wife. No; It may prove That he la just afraid of her. If you want to have the name of being wise, get In the game and advertise. Life smiles rather indulgently on some of our half-baked little platitudes no doubt, for when we qnlt talking wisdom comes. A man has been found who lived for two years with a broken back. We fall to see anything very remarkable about that, seeing what Col. Bryan has gone through. A pleasant surprise for our wife is to get home from a bargain sale and find out that sbe has really bought something that she needed. We have never felt that there is quite so appropriate a name for a South Hohroan street car about 6 p. m., as a human sardine box. A MAN FEELS 'THAT HE WAS NEVER SO MUCH OF A MAN AS WHEN HE IS TELLING SOME LITTLE BLUE-EYED KITTEN OF A GIRL WHAT A SAD OLD DOG HE USED TO BE. It quite interesting to note that a lawyer's nerves could be shocked in a street car accident. We always thought they were bomb-proof, but Mr. Gould of Indiana Harbor says not. TRUT A WOMAN TO FORGET THAT THE MAN WHO STANDS PAT IS ONLY BLUFFING IN BOTH CARDS AND LIFE IT WORKS OUT THE SAME WAY. Voice of the People HOPES HE WILL DIE. Highlands, Ind., Nov. 17, 1908. To the Editor of The Times: I, the undersigned, regret the experience which I had some time ago when stopping at one of the public business places at Highlands, Ind., and thought it best to warn the people at large to be careful in leaving parcels, packages or barrels after dark in their vehicles as they might disappear; the contents are liable to be consumed or confis cated, which depends wholly on the contents. But I certainly do hope that party who had the pleasure of stealin a poor man's barrel of apples will die in the attempt at eating them. JAMES SHULTZ. SALOON MEN ARE AIDING TEMPERANCE.

IN POLITICS

In Pennsylvania two strong labor men have been returned to congress Thomas David Nichols in the Tenth and William B. Wilson of the Fifteenth district. Both are democrats, both were members of the Sixtieth congress and both are members of the United Mine Works of America. Beryl F. Carroll, republican, who has been elected governor of Iowa, has been for three terms state auditor and a member of the state senate. He Is 48 years old, and has been active in poli tics since 1890. He was bred on a farm, and, like many other men who have become prominent in public life, he taught school for several years. The defeat of State Senator Everett Colby, one of the republican leaders in New Jersey, probably eliminates Governor ohn Franklin Fort and former Governor Franklin Murphy as possibilities to succeed United States Senator Kean. There is some talk now of ex-Governor Stokes running for the United States senatorship. While President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Ambassador Whitelaw Reid are the men most prominently mentioned as possible successors of Senator Piatt in New York, there are a number of others who may get into the running. Tomothy Woodruff, republican state chairman, is prominently mention and so are ex-Governor Black, Congressman J. S. Sloat Fassett of Elmira and E. B. Butler of Buffalo. General Horance Porter, and ex-Ambassador Joseph H. Choate are talked of, as usual, but probably will not figure. Herbert S. Hadley is the first republican to be elected of Missouri in thirty-five years. He is 36 years old, and has been for the last four years attorney-general of the state. He is a native of Kansas, and was graduated from the University of Kansas and the law school of Northwestern university. In 1894 he began the practice of law in Kansas City, and for one term was prosecuting attorney of Jackson county. His successful prosecution of craft cases first brought him into wide prominence.
