The utter absurdity of considering J. Frank Hanly a candidate for TJ. S. senator from this state is becoming more and more patent as time goes on. If Hanly has any friends who expect to help him in his absurd ambitions they vriil do well to think it over calmly and 'quietly. From the very first time that the Hanly candidacy was discussed this paper has ridiculed the idea not from any personal motives but because it has found the sentiment among the republicans in this populous territory to be absolutely against Hanlyism. Since then other Indiana republican papers are doing more than throwing cold water on any attempt to make Hanly a senatorial candidate. The Lafayette Journal is the latest to fall in line. It sys in part: "The more that is known concerning the "reforms" of Mr. Hanly, the more selfish and spectacular do they appear. The ex-governor is a discredited figure in Indiana politics and the talk of his being a United States senator is absurd. The only mention of his senatorial candidacy comes from democratic papers which seemingly would be delighted to see him In the contest because of the embarrassment it might bring to the Republican party." A STAB AT MR. CR0LIUS. Are all our ideals to be so rudely shattered? Is the spring zephyr to be converted into the wintry blast? Oh, Mr. Crolius, Mr. Crolius! Is what your friend Ferris of Joliet says of you true? Mr. Ferris is editor of the Joliet News. Someone sent Mr. Ferris a copy of the TIMES containing the nice things we said about Mr. Crolius of Gary, Mayor Knotts political antagonist. Now Editor Ferris says: "And so Mr. Crolius is starting out to be president of the United States from Gary, Ind., and it is given out that he Is the Steel company's candidate for mayor, and he has also consulted with all the leading Democrats of Indiana and has their support for mayor, then senator, then president? So he started in Joliet and had the backing in his mind of every man from "Vm. J. Bryan to John P. Hopqkins. But the air gave out and he went to Denver and started for the presidency again. Now at Gary, and probably Posey county next. Starting after the presidency is a small matter with him. It has become so common. Before Gary treats him seriously it would be well for them to send a committee over here with power to ask questions and to ask the right kind. He once fooled a lot of people here and will do it at Gary unless they take time by the forelock. To give them a starter it may be as well to recite in a general way the results of his remarkable career in Joliet. Whether Crolius is an honest man or not neither his aliies or opponents could positively state, but it can be given out positively that his reign was the real beginning of metropolitan vice in Joliet. The red light features, the slot machines, the professional and organized gambling trust, were given a good start and he gathered such a lot of black legs here as were never collected probably in a city of this character. To judge a man by the company he seeks, Crolius was black as a crow. There were fake foot race men here from Abilene, Denver and Texas; election fixers from Chicago and Springfield and gamblers from everywhere all gathered about the headquarters of Curry & Evans with Crolius. At the heighth of his carnival came an election with Crolius up for a second term. There were twenty-five election sharps in the city that day but with automobiles at his door and deputies all over the city Sheriff Ray secured one of the cleanest elections ever held here. Crolius was beaten 125 votes. Not discouraged in the least he raised a cry of fraud, and with an intuition that seemed supernatural, located the crime in the Third and Fifth wards. The opposition so sure of an honest election were foolish enough to consent to a recount. Strangely again it was found that the election packages of the Third and Fifth wards had been broken open and that just enough straight Republican votes on the straight Republican wires had been marked in rotation, just enough to elect Crolius. Strangely too, all these were marked with an anilene indelible pencil, and also strangely again no other votes in any other wards were so marked. Crolius never confided to us his opinion of the strange incidents one following tne other so closely and peculiarly. Detectives look first for a motive in criminal affairs, and surely Crolius had the motive all right but there were other things that made the city feel that Mr. Crolius would need no special gift to produce an exact prophecy naming both the manner and man who decorated those ballots with an indelible pencil. Perhaps if the Gary people will send a committee over they can find out pretty near as to what sort of a mayor Crolius would make for Gary We can promise that he will give them the wildest town they ever saw We are through with him here. The last time ha asked for a nomination he could not get his name before the convention and that too under the old convention methods." V trust Mr. Crolius doesn't sue us for libel or. insist on a retraction for it was Editor Ferris who penned these cruel and heart-bursting words' Blame Mr. Ferris, Mr. Crolius, not us. What was that you said Mr. Knotts? . MISREPRESENTING THINGS TO THE NEWSPAPERS. We hope the day will come when the Indiana legislature will enact a law that will be of far more value to the people than some of the freak bills that have been enacted in the past. This law will provide for the punishment ot a man or woman who will deliberately and shamelessly misinform a newspaper as to some happening. A contemporary says: Do the best it can, no newspaper can present news which will always be accurate by every test. Reporters are fallible and the people they deal with in getting information are fallible, and mistakes from Oct a sources are bound to creep in. The newspapers usually get the blame, even when the fault is in no way their own or that of any of their agents. The man who gives a false impression of himself, or who deliberately misrepresents the facts to a paper, usually hides himself behind denunciations of the press for the very faults he is to blame for. This is not said to give the press a clean bill of health, but only to distribute the blame equitably In some states deliberate misrepresentation to a newspaper is recognized as an offense under the penal code. MULAI HAFID. sultan of Morocco, is reported to be a prisoner in his capital. If it is any worse there than It Is being a prisoner in Morocco. Ind., Mulal is having a deadful unfortunate time.

Talks. Bv EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1900, by American Press Association. TWO BOOTBLACKS AND BUSINESS. A magazine writer tells the story of two bootblacks who were soliciting trade on a crowded thoroughfare one Saturday afternoon. The two boys had no regular stand. Each had his box slung over a shoulder, and they stood near the curbstone crying their business to the passersby. But there was a difference In the boys. Each had his cry, composed of four words, and never varied it. The first boy cried out, "Shine your shoes here!" The second boy solicited his custom by shouting. "Get your Sunday shine:" Note the difference? The cry of the first boy announced the simple fact that he was in the shoe shining business for any one who should desire his services. The second boy's cry was more significant. It was Saturday afternoon. The hour was 4 o'clock. The cry carried with it the fact that tomorrow was Sunday and it probably would be a pleasant day; that he (the bootblack) knew an extra shine was needed; that he who went to church or walked In the parks on the morrow owed it to his self respect to present a good appearance, and, lastly, that he was there to do the business. Do you see why the second boy got the larger share of the business? He had Imagination. He linked facts together. He conveyed suggestions. His cry told all the other boy said and more. There is in the incident an object lesson in the problem of modern business. Imagination in business Is money. The successful merchant uses It. He projects his Imagination in such a way as to reach the mind of his customers and by suggestion causes them to buy his wares. The inventor can do nothing without Imagination, nor the promotor, nor the engineer, nor the architect or builder. The professional man must have Imagination. Even the farmer or breeder needs It. And yetOccasionally you hear of a parent who does not want his child to read fairy stories or believe in Santa Claus. lie is a practical man himself, and he wants his children taught practical things, etc. He fails to see the large place occupied by the Imagination. The man who is without imagination misses much of the pleasure in life. He dreams no dreams. Unseen things of beauty are not for him. Besides lie misses a big asset in business.
