QUILLAN. WHY IS IT? What we can't figure out Is why some bleeding patriot whose heart is Just wrung for the toiling masses has not announced his candidacy for the legislature on the promise to Intro duce a bill preventing the use of the dictograph in municipal bribery cases. STRONG CHARACTER. To have a strong character is good; but it is only a means to accomplish an end. .The inqUistion was conducted by men of resolution; the princes la the Tower were murdered by a man of bloody courage; Mrs. Gunness and Nero lay claim to strength of purpose almost unparalleled, and the two horned rhinoceros is seldom found to be vacillating. The mule has a will of its own and Jay Gould showed a mast erful genius In wrecking railroads that had been unequaled up to his time. , "What though the field be lost?'

A LITTLE WHILE. A little while n little love The hour yet bear for thee and me. Who have not drawn the Tell to nee If a'tlll our heavens he lit above. Thou merely, at the day's last sigh. Itaat felt my Soul prolong the tone And I have felt the night vrtad cry And deemed tta speech mine own. A little while a little love May yet be oura who have not aald The word It make our eyes afraid To know that each In thinking of. Not yet the endt he our lips dumb In smiles a little season yeti I'll tell thee, when the end is come. How we may best forget. Dante Gabriel Rossettl. cried Satan when he found himself In the bottomless pit. "The unconquerable will and study of revenge, immortal hate, these are not lost!" And when Lady Macbeth gave instructions to themurderers she showed a strength of character that was the more viciouB because her husband, with his conscientious scruples, was weak. Strength of character has brought to the world as much misery as hap piness. Starvation and death follow in its train as frequently as progress and peace. It is absolutely necessary to accomplishment yet it fills the cup of sorrow to the brim. It is power, not direction; an agency, rather than an end. It is worth everything, or it takes everything away; a weapon for good or evil. But it is a weapon of wonderful power, and no man can succeed with out it. DID YOU BUDDIE? When Kipling wrote "the tumult and the shouting dies," he must have had in his mind's ear, the dull thud following the Roosevelt third term announcement. Nothing so fiat has been noticed since Evangeline the beautiful second cook tried to make a pie crust without any baking powder. IS ROOSEVELT SINCERE? An admirer of Theodore Roosevelt and we deny no man's privilege to be enthusiastic for Roosevelt if he can be consistent at the same time, takes this paper to task for its opposition to a third, term for the ex-president. We sadly fear that the admirer of Mr. Roosevelt is not thoroughly posted on national events and THAT NO LESS, A PERSON THAN MR. ROOSEVELT, not very long ago stated that It would be a GENUINE CALAMITY were he to be made the central figure in a third term movement. Recently when admiring friends boomed him for a third term, Mr. Roosevelt wrote to the editor of the Pittsburg Leader: New York, N. Y., Aug. 18. 1911. My Dear Mr. Moore: I very great ly appreciate your kind and friendly feeling, but I am sure you will understand me when I say that I must ask not only you. but every friend I have, to see to It that no movement whatever is made to bring me forward for nomination in 1912. I feel that I have ft right to asU all my friends, if necessary, actively to work to prevent any such movement. I should esteem it a genuine calamity If such a movement were undertaken. Again thanking you for what you have said, and moreover thanking you in advance for following my wisheB in this matter! . as I know you will do, I am, very . sincerely yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Now will Mr. Roosevelt's Lake County "admirer or any one else kindly inform us why they want him to accept a third term when out of his . own mouth Mr. Roosevelt is shown to have said that it would be a CALAMITY? COMMON COURTESY. A traveling man called upon business man in this district and, addressing a hearty good morning to him, thrust out his hand and offered to shake. The business man drew back to avoid the greeting of the salesman and snapped, "Cut out the salve, I haven't time to waste shaking hands with traveling men. If you have got something to show ' me get it out quick and get busy." Fortunately the traveling man was a "real man." He gave that business man one of the worst callings that he ever had In his life. Customers In the store were so delighted to think that the drummer had the manhood to "come back" that the story has spread all over town. "I am a business man," said the salesman "and I am just as anxious to get through with you as you are to be rid of me. I bade you a pleasant good morning and offered to shake hands, not because I expected that it would sell my goods but because 1

really felt kindly towards you. "Now I want to say to you," continued the salesman, "that under no circumstances will I sell you a bill of goods. I shall never enter your store again and you need not fear that you will ever again be forced to decline to shake hands with me."

The traveling man showed admir-j able self control. He did not become abusive. His whole manner showed that Nhe was a man of capacity, of character. He was anything but fresh. v He was the last man in the world who should have become the victim of such nasty prudery. The story of the local business man a rebuke Is on the tongues of scores of people in this locality. He may have thought that he was giving the appearance of feverish business activity but everybody who saw the incident put him down for a skate. Courtesy to his patrons simply emphasizes his hyprocisy. it shows that he is a gentleman, not by nature but of necessity. Such a man would be pleasant to a lady, customer and then go home and beat up his wife. His act was contemptible even though it was directed to a mere traveling man. IN SYZYGY ? MAYBE. How can we get the governor of Indiana, the mayor of Gary and the democratic county chairman of Lake county in syzygy? Oh no, syzygy is not a Russian drink, nor la it the name of the town in Poland to which Antony Baukus is supposed to have fled, nor is it the name of a saloonkeeper In the Standard Steel car district. If you remember anything about the astronomy you used to study when you were seventeen or eighteen those terrible days when you thought that you would actually die unleaa you some day married the fair Luclle who persisted in going home from school with some other fellow, you'll recall syzygy. It means when the full moon, the earth, and the sun are nearly in a straight line. Syzygy also means "yoked together" but It can't be applied to married couples because three figure in the deal. We were just wondering what might happen if the Marshall-for-president boom takes on any more gas. What astronomical changes will be necessary to line up the mayor of Gary, the county chairman auu me governor or inaiana in one straight line In syzygy? YOU can't help but notice that though there is always "an army of the great unemployed" when you want to hire a gent to carry out a few ashes or clean a sidewalk they are distressingly scarce. "WHAT has become of the oldfashioned man who didn't believe !n perpetual motion?" asks an ex change. He has two boys and has to buy shoes for them. IT IS all right to philosophize but Heaven knows some of us have some thing else to do than to sit around all day seining our whiskers with our lingers. youll. notice tnat when a man gets the Itch for office he's always finding something wrong with those who are running the government. THESE sub-rosa bridge parties held by church members during Lent, must disgust the Lord about as much as anything could do. MISSOURI has decided that a bar ber is not an artist. Then of course a man who trims corns and bunions Is no professor. HAVING slipped the Bryan halter the democratic donkey is kicking up his heals and cavorting around like a crazy thing. AND one of the few reasons that you ought to have for liking winter is that you don't have to swat any flies. ANYWAY, Gary has something to be thankful for. No one has sprung the angleworm wiggle dance there yet TEDDY having thrown his hat into the ring has also shied his ear-tabs chaps and heavy ones thither. WELL anyhow another will see the baseball season deal nearer. month 1 great THE state board of accountants ha not received any of that East Chicago money yet. WEST troubles. Hammond is having more

HEARD BY RUBE THE Ides of March will soon be ta hand. THIS is the time of the year when folks who only have a birthday every fourth year persist In boring you tell ing you about it. ONE-HALF the world is trying to get fat and the other half Is trying to throw it off. CABLES from South America say that train has arrived at Bolivar three years late. The dear old "Wabash had better look to its laurels. THE small town gal may not be there with gossip on the latest Shaw plays. but she is always in style as . far as hobble skirts, cardinal hats or posey jabots are concerned. IF Gary gets another millionaire in due time, wonder if he"H want his baby doll to wear decollette gowns at breakfast. ,.... . , . ANOTHER FACKTIOf S dl ERV. A. C. H. Tour query. "What is the difference between Roosevelt and Castleman?" How about, if T. R. chewed Battle Axe and Cassy wrote a few magazine articles? They'd both be In perihelion then, wouldn't they? WHEREINELL were all those won derful Aetna watchdogs the night the firebugs burned up the Wabash depot? IT is a tossup which of the next two week's motion pictures, those of Oyster Bay or those of the Mexican border, are going to be the more Interesting. WHY is it that a man who fills Up the house with Pmoke from an old corn cob will raise a terrible fuss when his wife makes smoke when she happens to burn the ham Just a tiny bit? WpNDER If we are to hear any more from the Rev. Nels Trimble about wicked Gary? Goodness: Hope not. He has already terribly shocked some edi tors and a circle of nice old ladies. DEAR RUBE I thought , Governor Marshall didn't like aovernor-to-be Knotts. He has appointed him a delegate to some meeting. What about It? T. L. Tes, Tom has been appointed J. L delegate to the congress of demography. you write in a satanlc style. . . 1 liVE.N If the weather Isn t of the white frock and open-work shirtwaist variety, this is the time of the year that the trees give forth new maple syrup. COLONELS have a knack of changing their minds, don't they? Take T. Rosenfelts and T. Englehart. for Instance. THE secretary-reports that the com mittee on psychical research is still wrestling with the problem as to what effect sewers have upon trees. If Homer will sign the affidavit all trees may be sent to the Good Shepherd's home until the sewers are jailed. LONDON LANCET reports that 7.8 per cent of all English females have hal lucinations. And. England has more suffragettes than any other country. HARPER'S WEEKLY has an article on. "A new method of grafting." but don't get nervous, It refers to horticulture end not to politics. H. E. YOU don't mean that you "saw her at 7 a m. in a decollete gown eating grape fruit." In Gary they are liable to refpr to any short-sleeved kimona as a decollete thing.
