SUPERIOR JUDGESHIP BRI1GS UP n HEW Discussion
Some interesting political gossip regarding the two Superior Court judges appointed as the result of the last session of th legislature appears In the Indianapolis Star last Sunday from the pen of George W. Stout the Star's political editor who said: "One scheme put over by Fleming to

Marvel For Any Superfluous Hair -Wonderful Action of Elec-tro-la, The New Hair-Remover, Will Surprise You. Nearly every man or woman who has been troubled with superfluous or undesirable hairs has had experience with various preparations which merely burn off the surface hair, redden the skin, and fail to kill the hair roots. Elec-tro-la is the remarkable new hair-remover which does more than merely kill the surface hair. It oes

administration was the law to lengthen
the terms of fupcror Judges in the state. AVhat was back of the enactment of this remarkable law "Lawrence Becker ot Hammond an3 Johannes Kopelke of O-'vwn Point haa been appointed by Go.-rrnor Marshall to occupy new judgeships created in Lake County. P.ecker was a Harmon Democrat and was working at the trade day and night. He was a live one, and it was necessary to win him to the side of Marshall. That is the sordid side of Tne proposition which. of course. te ethereal Imaginings of Marshall could not take into consideration, but which
were considered, apparently, by the. more practical Fleming.
"When it came to appointing Becker
there was a balk. Becker did the balking. He did not desire to give up a joi as mayor of Hammond to take a judgeship, which wo'uld end in 1912, requiring that he make a fight for further benchwarming privileges. "In order to Induce Becker to take the judgeship it was necessary to pass a law extending the term of office to 1914.
The thing was done. Fleming did it. ! Becker went on the bench. Also he became a Marshall man. F.ecker's cheers for Marshall have not ' affronted the
ears of Harmon to any painful degree.
But he Is rated as a Marshall man on the general theory that an appointee can be for his job-giver.
'Now arises a terrifying uncertainty.
Some Republican critics of the Legisla
ture and Its legislation of last winter are saying at this time that the law which extended the terms of Superior
judges was r.ot valid. It is purposed to
go after the statute in the courts and
to attempt to prove if unconstitutional. "In any event, it is announced from Lake County that the Republicans will nominate candidates for the Superior Judgeships in regular form next year.
The election commissioners, two of
them being Republicans, are expected to place the rames of the nominees on the ticket in proper course. Tills may mean that Kopelke and Becker, in spite of the extreme measures taken by
Fleming and Marshall to prolong their official term, will be forced to go out

and make campaigns to retain their
positions. What Is more, in a Republican county the two Superior Judges by appointment forsee that they will have difficulty in holding on. "The act which extended to 1914 the terms of Marshall's two Democratic judges In Lake County, a Republican county, also had the effect of adding
two years to the terms of two Euperior Judges and a Probate judge in Marion County an dstmllarly affected some few other Superior judges in the state. It extended, for example, he term of tha Superior judge in St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties. Laporte and Porter, Madison and Tippecanoe. "The people of Lake County, especially the Republicans, declare that the passage of the law to give Becker and
Kopelke nearly four years In office Instead of the short term due to a Governor's appointee, was a brazen piece of political trickery, intended to rob them of their r'ght to name their own officers In the regular way. "It is now being pointed out that th act setting the time for the election of
all Superior Judges for 191! did not take effect until after Kopelke "nnd Becker had acepted the judgeships and had qualified. It is urged that this fact makes their appointments good, only until the end of the term lor which they onminally aWepted office, or until 1912. when their successors are to be elected. It is argued that they ac
cepted office under the old conditions, and that the "afterthought" law which
went Into effect after they took their appointments could not affect them.
"The law establishing Superior Courts, passed In 1S71, provided that where three Superior judges are to be elected, one should be elected at one
general election nnd two should be chosen at the next election. In order that at least one Superior Judge should
be holding over at all times. "One thing is apparent: If the Re
publicans proceed to nominate candidates for the Superior Judgeships In
Lake County, and put their names on the ticket, the Democrats may feel
obligod to do something similar In order
to protect themselves. It would be sad Indeed, from the standpoint of Mar
shall. Kopelke and Becker, if the vot
ers were to go in and take the Judge
ships from the present comfortable occupants of the bench. It might mean
that the anxious Democratic Governor
would be forced to seek another solu

assure the actual use. of the canal for lake boats. While the deals are practically concluded, the tfetalls are not ready for publication, but the moment the final papers are signed The Times will be In a position to make public all the information. The question of redredging The canal from the lake to the forks -was taken up yesterday by C. A. Westberg, vice president of the East Chicago compa
ny, with H. W. Smith, representative of the Frick Interests in the Harbor. Mr. Smith visited this city yesterday
and will be here again on Saturday on
business relating to this work. While
Mr. Smith was not In a position to say
definitely that the work would proceed
at once so far as his principals were concerned, he expressed the belief that
the question was practically settled In favor of immediate progress.
The dimensions of the channel are to be twenty feet in depth, eighty feet
at the bottom and 200 at the top. These
dimensions were arrived at once before, but the rhannel has since filled up with sand in many places and requires redredging. Following the placing of the canal in Its former shape, all subsequent work of dredging and maintaining it thus will be undertaken by the ' government. The United States board of engineers have so ruled. The action of congress under which the canal was accepted provided that the private Interests do this work once more
I before the maintenance of the canal In!
Its proper depth and width be under

greatly enhance the value of all abutting property, and the Increase in realty valuations will not end here, but will make Itself felt throughout thi sentire region. With the government holding the reins there seems
little doubt that the Calumet river will soon be taken in hand and be made a
navigable stream and once these thing
are established It will mean the loca

Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 22. The
last detail of the transfer of the canal
to the government was completed at
Crown oPint today when the deeds conveying the same were placed on rec
ord with the county recorder. The canal was accepted a year ago by the government, but the deeds were not
recorded until this time,
The canal in Its entirety is now the
property of Uncle Sm and it perma
nency is assured without the shadow
of a question. The deeds are three In number. One of the documents conveys the waterway from the lake to the river, a second its west branch running from the mouth branch to Lake George and on from Lake George into Wolk lake. The third conveys the turning basin. 1'tll the deeds were recorded there was a lurking doubt in the minds of
the skeptical as to the actual ownership of the canal by the government. Although the latter accepted the canal a year ago, there were some who "had to be shown" that the government was really the owner of the property. Now all sojourners from Missouri may have their natural craving satisfied by a trip to the county scat and an inspection of the county recorder's books.

Is as follows -" Washington, D. C, Sept. 13, 1911. "This is to certify that all the land conveyed, by deeds Nos. 1, 2 and 3

It Is expected that a large crowd will turn out to attend the event, which promises a delightful time.

the town more advertising than any one source in years. Their standing In the- league, which is a tia for- first place with Crown Point, has won them great popularity In their home city, and this popularity is expected to do its share in making the ball tomorrow night a success.
