RANDOM THINQS AND FUNQS
SENATOR WOOD NOT A CANDIDATE. It Is Impossible, of course, for a man in public life to keep others from mentioning his name in connection with the candidacy for some office, but that it is often done without sanction is shown by the Lafayette Journal in speaking of the so-called Wood candidacy for Congressman Crumpacker's Job. Senator Wood never was a candidate for the office. The Journal says: But Mr. Crumpacker's security in the Tenth district is not duo to practical politics or the fear of a gerrymander. The representative of the Tenth district has no opposition because the people recognize his service and no encouragement has been given an opposing candidate. It is true that Senator Wood has been mentioned frequently as a candidate for congress, but Mr. Wood has never sanctioned the use of his name. The peculiar situation in the Tenth district is due
solely to the service rendered by Judge Crumpacker. His long service Is an asset that the Tenth district appreciates and his Independent statesmanship is a characteristic that makes for popularity. Tippecanoe county knows the value of legislative service and recognizes that the tried legislator is in a position to do more than the beginner. And for this reason there are thousands of voters in the county who believe Senator Wood should be returned because long experience has fitted him for leadership in the state legislature- Judge Crumpacker's hold on the Tenth district and Senator Wood's popularity in Tippecanoe county are not due to chance; both have earned the confidence that is entertained toward them.
TOO many cooks are going to make the political pot spill over. WHY don't you let them Investigate you, Mr. Ballinger? Why so fear some? DEARBORN Park is sending resolutions of sympathy and condolence to Clark county. DON'T be too eager to condemn the Mexican mine horror. We have mine horrors here, you know. AFTER all, It is the voters who select republican candidates, that is, they select if they want to do. GERMANY wants to borrow $120,000,000. Awfully sorry, but ..we would like to accomodate you.

The Poet Philosopher
i THE SEXTON. , .. It was a wet and withered knave who labored In a frozen grave, with all his grisly tools, and muttered, with his wintry tongue: "They come to me, the old, the young, the children from the schools; they come to me among the tombs; with sable steeds and nodding plumes, the sightness and the dumb; from lowly huts with crumbling walls, from palaces with sculptured halls, they come to "me, they comee! Then shun me In the light of day, for I with dust of tombs am gray, a thing of fear to men; but when the long night closes in, on pomp, and vanity, and sin, they seek the sexton then! In winter's cold and summer's heat, from country lane and city street, from vineyard and from slum; from gay saloon and house of woe, from places high, and places low, they come to me, they come." A stranger stalked among the graves, and called this deadest of knaves "My name Is Death," said he; "and when I call a soul away, even the sexton must obey so come, my friend, with me!" WALT MASON.

several districts, has indicated that it has the fullest confidence in them to cope with the situationThere is need of action and hard work. With eagle eye the enemy is watching every move made by the party leaders. There Is no district in Indiana secure. In none of them can the district chairman be a mere figurehead. At home we are more concerned with the Tenth district than any other. Mr. Hickey has been re-elected to serve the party as district chairman, and the republicans look to him to see that his house is in order. There is much to be done in the way of preliminary organization and in seeing that tha machinations of the democrats do not bring disaster on the party later in the year. Mr. Hickey will, of course, not be lead astray by the demo-republican combine in the Tenth district, which is seeking an unholy alliance with him. - - In other words, no demo-republicans need apply.
CHICAGO'S BIG AUTO SHOW. To show what an immense interest is being taken in the automobile and to prove what vn immense amount of money can be spent in the popular machine, Chicago's ninth annual automobile show, representing the results of months of hard work on the part of manufacturers and dealers and the expenditure of nearly $100,000 in decorations alone, was opened to the public today, to remain the center of interest for automobile enthusiasts during the .whole of the coming week. The Coliseum, the Coliseum Annex and the First Regiment Armory house the show, which comprises the most magnificent exhibition of automobiles and accessories ever assembled in Chicago. Tha show is the only large exhibition to be held in America this season in which manufacturers of licensed and indepent cars display their products under the same roofs. Two hundred and "fifty manufacturers are represented in the display of motor cars, motorcycles, parts an accessories. The decorative scheme adopted this year is as unique as it is pleasing. The Coliseum, which is the main exhibition hall, has a forest setting, with giant pine trees and a wealth of magnificent foliage. The Coliseum Annex has been fitted out as a rose garden, while a rustic atmosphere has been provided for the First Regiment Armory.
WHITING COUNCIL CONSISTENT IN ACTION. Mayor Beaumont Parks, of "Whiting, and the city council have decided not to impair the efficiency of the public force there by making it the victim of the spoils system.
When it was announced shortly after election that the council would make a clean sweep of the appointive officers, who were republican, there was a great rumpus raised. There is little question but what the council
had intended making a clean sweep and it is well for them that they changed their minds. They have shown good sense in refusing to send good republican officers to the cannery and more particularly are they to be praised when It is known that they could have dismissed every republican on the
force, had they so desired, and filled their places with hungry democrats.
The citizens of Whiting know that the republican officers, who have
been retained, are good officers. .
They are men who have done their duty by the people and the taxpayers and deserve recognition for their long services to the city of Whiting. The day of the spoilsmen is past. It has been put in the discard with red-flag politics. ,
