The great number of buyers who are displaying their wisdom by laying aside goods for Christmas delivery, forecasts a greater Xmas trade than in any year of our history. Their selections indicate most provident minds more practical and more sensible giving and the fact that the great majority of holiday buyers are making their selection at Hammond's Largest Furniture Store, is a positive
manifestation of deep thought and prudence and proof that greater numbers than ever have learn- r
ed the uncontradicable truth of the declaration

If the future of the county local op
tion law was left to the republican par

would be settled very quickly by re-1 pealing it. The outlook is that the league Will have to go out and arouse '
sentiment among the very element that
didn't take enough interest in the cam

MARSHALL HOUSE HUNTING.
Goyernor-elect Thomas R. Marshall
arrived in Indianapolis yesterday morning on a two-fold mission. One was
to hunt a house, and the other was to attend the semi-ajinual Scottish Rife

Up to this hour no politician has Whan airing has become too tight
made any public statement in behalf I for tna finder as it often happens
amone erowinc children, instead of
of such a radical resolution, and it is not believed that either party would dare to go before the voters two years
hence as Its sponsor. Republican leaders are declaring that their ticket will be beaten from &0.000 to 100,000 in 1910 If they attempt to put through a statewide prohibition amendment to the constitution. That, however, is all the Anti-Saloon league -and state committee of the prohibition party wants. There is being manifested a disposition among politicians to disregard the efforts of the Anti-Saloon league in view of the re
cent results.Will Try to Make Impression. The league,' it is said, has been in the habit of letting it reach the minds of the legislative candidates that it would use the big stick over heir heads if they refused to "come across" for its its measures. At the outset of the recent campaign legislative candidates we"k?lven to understand by the tentperane leaders that their scalps would tfe'Tlu'ng up high and dry If they dared to oppose county local option. The fact that a democratic legislature was re-elected and that the 'prohibitionists losa much ground - Is said to have JooBened the, grip of the AntlSaloon league over members of the legislature who were afraid to stand for their own convictions. The league Is preparing to hold elections In counties where there Is no question but that
local option will win. No doubtful

(Special to The Times.) Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 3. Evidently
when Governor-Elect Thomas R. Mar
shall saw how It looked in print he
decided to change hla mind about the
letter he wrote to M uncle, telling; a
political friend over there that he in
tended to give the cities of the state home rule In the matter of the selection of members of the metropolitan police boards.
There are fourteen cities in the state
that are under the metropolitan police law, 'and in his Muncie letter Marshall
said he proposed to appoint members
of the police boards only on suggestions
made by the mayor and the common council of each city. This was sent
broadcast with the statement that lti means that Marshall would permit re
publican cities to retain a majority of
the members of their police boards, while the democratic administrations of democratic cities would have the same preference.
Marshall Changes Plan. But Marshall was here yesterday. In
fact, he is still here, and he says he
will not do anything of the kind. He says he Is going to appoint two democratic members of the metropolitan police board in each city and give the republicans one member. Thus, Instead of -letting go of an opportunity to build
up a. political machine for himself by giving the cities actual home rule, as indicated in his Muncie letter, Marshall does not propose to let the chance slip
by to take care ' of the interests of Marshall. Those cities that had acquired the idea that they were to retain their present boards and that Marshall intended to be exceptionally kind and generous to them may now get rid of It. Ignores Offlceseekers. Marshall is not paying any attention to offlceseekers, so It is said. He is merely taking their names and addresses and filing their applications away with the promise that "If anything turns up I will let you know." And that is about all he or any other
man could do under the circumstances, for the office-hunters are legion. There would not be enough Jobs in seven states to take care of all of them. Marshall says he will rmaln in this city until he and Mrs. Marshall decide of a houBe'in which to live when they move to this city next month. During the campaign Marshall was emphatic in his statement that he -would pay his own house rent and not use any of the
state's money for that purpose. He still sticks to that proposition, although
there Is at the disposal of the governor for house rent the sum of $1,800 a year in addition to 'the salary.
Beverldge Is Tickled. One-of the best pleased men in In
diana over the order issued by President Roosevelt a few days ago placing
all fourth-class postmasters in the states north of the Ohio river and east
of the Mississippi river under civil serv
ice control, is Senator Beveridge. The
fact that the senator will for at -least two years control all the federal patronage in eleven of the thirteen con
gressional districts of the state has
promised to make his burden about all
that any one man could bear, and not the least of it was in the selection of fourth-class postmasters. The new rule
promulgated by the president relieves 1
the senator of that part of the work
and will also remove the possibility of
of many embarrassing contests which the senator would have to settle. Over Thousand in Indiana. There are 1,084 fourth-class postmasters in Indiana. This class of postmasters is composed of those whose compensation is based on the value of the' stamps canceled in their offices and not on the value of the stamps sold. They receive 100 per cent of the first $100 worth of stamps canceled in a quarter; 60 per cent of the second $100 worth, and 40 per cent of the value of all other cancellations after that during the quarter. But If their remuneration amounts to more than $250 a quarter for three consecutive quarters they go Into the third class. The terms of their service, continued until their successors were appointed. Under the new rule they may be removed only for cause. Heretofore fourth-class postmasters have been appointed by - the
congressmen of the district. Hereafter they will be selected by means of a civil
service examination.

It is proposed to work on broad and dignified lines, to give the movement an' Impetus that is expected to come from the sympathy and co-operation of" the more influential members of society.

The Great Circus. The CoiiBeum, massive as it was. was a mare toy in comparison with the Great Circus, which fiUed the valley between the Palatine and Aventine bills. The Coliseum is said to have been able to seat 80,000 people; while the seating capacity of the Great Circus was, at different periods, 150,000, 250,000, and lastly 380,000 spectators. The Great Circus was probably the most stupendous building ever erected for public spectacles.
