R. QUILLAN. CAN'T YOU? Yes, we' can just imagine Caesar rushing for the Lupercal rattling his spurs, emitting war-whoops and yelling, "You bet ten thousand talents I'll take it." WELLMAN WAS EIGHT. For once Walter Wellman was right. The day before the inauguration of President V. H. Taft, to be accurate on the 3rd of March, 1909, three years ago, he said in dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald from Washington: "In spite of the fact that Mr. Taft - is retaining In his cabinet two 6f the Roosevelt ministers, maintains the friendliest relations with the out-poing president, is making Mr. Loeb the collector at New York and is taking care of a number of other close friends of Mr. Roosevelt, there are plentyof men in Washington who foresee a

M'CARTHY AS - MR. DOOLEY. With apologies to Mr. Dunn. 'Me hat Is In th' ring, aaya th' brave Rosenfelt at Columbus. 'Hurrah!' says I, 'a real white hope at last!' Is Col. Jack Johnson in tU hall? " 'O'Leary, I've read iverythlng on prise flghtln fr'm Brian Boru f Jawn Boyle O'Reilly, an' I've nlver yit knowed a real champeen to win by .throwin' his hat Into th' ring an' thin talkln' through it.

Come wan, come all, an' se"e Gintleman Jim sprint three fast rounds lv th' manly art. No, O Leary, they can't corn's back, an Rosenfelt can't go back. " He'a no exctptlon, an' whin he finds It out 1 shudder to think what'Jl be. come of th' plain people. 'Twill bo a sad day for Gilford Pinchbach, th' lightweight champeen iv Alaska, who's been In Rosenfelt's corner In very fight since Annanias.' ' "I'll bet. ye'll vot fr Rosenfelt ye'r-sllf,' said Mr. O'Leary. "'No,' replied Mr. Casey. Tin

Besides, I've acquired th' Outlook habit, an' Rosenfelt Is wan lv th' most enter, talnln' writers that lver upset a bottle lv Ink.' " lot of things which may never come to pass. I do not look upon such as these as good diagnosticians or trustworthy prophets, but simply as interesting gossipers. For Illustration, let us take the' words of one of that group of senators who were today talking about Mr. Taft. This senator, who is usually well informed and of good judgment, made the somewhat ' startling statement that Within a year not a single pronounced" Roosevelt man would be left In any important office. .He added 'that within two years it would be war to the knife between the map who is now leaving the White House and the man who la ready to move In It. And another year after that, ha went on to pre-, diet, one of the greatest struggles of our political history would some between Taft and Roosevelt as rival for the presidential nomination in 1912." BATTLE OF TYPEWRITERS. A bas the billy, the police club and the Smith and Wesson. "Dog Face Charley," "Diamond Bin" and all of the rest of their tribe to the tall timbers. No more embarrassing the safety board with, pre-eraptory demands that the unwashed be given stars and police commissions. Literateurs dictating instead of curses and slugging and the click of the typewriter instead of the click of the automatic. Spread the news. The fighting days in Gary are no more. Highbrow thinking, typewriters for weapons, and philippics for ammunition, stenographers instead of strong arms. Blot out the old and ring up the curtain on the new. Sound the cymbals and let us look at the passing show. Old "Battle Axe Castleman Is spurt ing Btreama of chewed Connecticut leaf at the official spittoon and accusing Hon. H. G. Hay, jr., of buying good government. Shades of Tweed! Wouldn't the old Tammany boss laugh if he heard the story. While Castleman's voice is echoing through the neighboring sand dunes and the leased wires of the Associated Press are spreading the tidings throughout the land. Colonel Tom Knotts has shut himself in from a perspiring constituency and is working his literary sixteen-pounder overtime. "City clerk, another Underwood, a new ribbon and a larger key-board." Hay no sooner gets through rubbing vaseline on his sore tips than the mayor's bull is promulgated to the faithful. Hist! Another charge of grapeshot. Banker Hay is spraying the atmosphere with rubber shrapnel and Colonel Knotts, Colonel Clarence Bretsch and "Battle Axe" howl in agony as the suggestions strike them that they tell it to a grand, jury. More stenographersj Batteries of typewriters are clicking in the. Gary State bank, the city hall and the law offices off the Rialto. Breathless hirelings race in and out for dictionaries, erasers and reams of papers. Judge Greenlee is in the fray. Faithful to the la3t Colonel Cooper, the distinguished war correspondent is up from a sick bed where he had the mumps and is rushing back and forth from the mayor's chamber to the proof Kalley. Ho! Corporal! Another Oliver and also bring a Monarch. The battle continues throughout the night and the stenos tear off sheet after sheet of the condensed literary vitrol Now comes the news that "Old Battle Axe" has bought a second-handed Remington and hired a stenographer. The pe-pull will have their Bay. Let the ambulance corps take away the dead carbon sheets and let McCampbell's tinkers repair the artillery. There is a pause in the fray. The next roar" of the cannon will come from the pe-pull's bulwarks. Be list ening!

HIS LID NOT IN THE RING.

Many people in Gary do not know whether the Hon. Grandma Carr has decided to be for Taft or Roosevelt and a great many more don't give a darn. v Like to have the matter settled as soon as possible, however, so that it will be safe to issue the campaign buttons. ROOSEVELT AND INDIANA. One thing tht diBgusts the ordinary man so much with the Roosevelt boom is the amount of clatter and bunk about it. For Instance, the following state ment was issued from the Chicago Roosevelt headquarters yesterday: "There is no doubt whatever that the sentiment of the people In Indiana is overwhelmingly for Col. Roosevelt. AVith the exception of a very few districts I confidently expect and predict that instructed delegates for him will be sent to Chicago." , . Now why tell such a glaring false hood that "the ..sentiment of Indiana is overwhelming for Roosevelt?" Everybody knows it is false as the bottomless pit. Then Roosevelt's Chica go organ, the Tribune, proceeds to elaborate and says that "Roosevelt will carry Indiana, etc." The progress of the Roosevelt boom will be something like this: January Dee-lighted. ' February Dee-bated. March Dee-flated. April Devested. May Dee-jected. June Dee-feated. " IN the campaign for better street car service In Hammond, not one word was said about improving, the quality of garlic as served in the carB at all hours of the day. AND there are men In Lake county of whom we would dearly love to have moving pictures when you mention Theodore Roosevelt's name. TWO Washington men shook dice for a wife theother day. It will prob ably take some time to find out who lost and who won. WE would like to listen to a debate down in West Creek township as to whether T. R. should try to come back or not. , . & THE great battle of words now waging in Gary words, words, words, must make the bones of Hamlet rattle in the coffin. IT looks as though almost every other man behind the bars of the state prison is asking or going to ask for a parole. - ANWAY is there a more sunshiny or a more optimistic chap in the whole country than Jim Hill? TRUTHFULLY an exchange says that a fool and his father's money are soon parted. LIFE in saloon license circles in Gary is what General Sherman said of war. PERHAPS Jim Jeffries was still groggy when he talked of challenging Jack Johnson again. THE people of Lake county now know where they stand. Go as far as you like, Teddy. BITTEREST enemy that the Lake county realty man have at present is old Jack Frost. M EARD BY R USE PASSED in the passing show The Japanese war scare. Seeing that the current issue of the effete and 'steemed Literary Digest speaks of "marvellous work," pretsts," "separtalon," we forgive our proofs reader. WE might add that in addition to the high cost of living there is also ajiigh cost of loving. READ in Sunday's Examiner that "Great Britain stands on the very edge of hell." The lost and found bureau reports that Rev. Nels Trimble is on this side of the Atlantic, so he can't be blamed for the story.'CANNED kisses are the fad in Boston, but the lip-to-lip kind still remaina good enough for the belles of Lake county. TO show you how sacrificing some society women are we refer you to the dispatches from Toledo. Seventy-six have given up their appendixes too far this Lent. AS It is we ought to be kidding you

Youngest Grandson 1! t about your spring bonnet, but after considering ths weather we will' once more request that you throw out a few bread crumbs for the little snow birds. WHILE the spiritual atmosphere of churches la holy, it wouldn't hurt any If tho good deacons would now and then attend to the ventilation, as the earthly atmosphere In ome of the churches we've been to makes us wonder If the Almighty didn't include fresh air In the golden rules. The blame for the error In the charge of the light brigade has been discovered after a life time. This leaves hope that some of the dark work In the Gary democratic rooster fight will come to light before some good church members cash In. WHAT WORTH WHILEt What's worth while? asks The Record-Herald. Hay's goat Clarence Bretsch. Interest on that $5,000 T. E. K. An extra kiss. M. L. Having him call three times a week. Hazel Nutt. THEIR idea of high life in Miller Is to have an oyster supper, boxing match and a dance all rolled into one. Nearly beats an Aetna charity ball, where you get the necessary exercise dodging the watchdogs. y MILLEMAL DAW? AT IIAXD SURELY Crown Point Star.) "The Erie railroad should be condemned no longer by the traveling public for running so far behind the schedule this winter. A passenger train on that road actually arrived at this station on Monday 14 minutes ahead of time." TO show, what progress science is making we might state that one eminent bachelor is experimenting with a scheme to rock cradles with wireless. S. S.

THE government engineers recommend a commercial harbor for Gary or Indiana Harbor, but this is as far as the matter will get. AND we don't have to go out of the" county to find some postmasters who are sweating blood as whether they should hang out the Taft or the T, R. banner. "GARY in the spotlight again." says the Indianapolis News. Never knew that it got out at all. An Italian professor claims to have found radium in ordinary dew.

Editor Times: Is it not now a good time to suggest (if proper) that a nonpartisan, non-political, convention bo called In Lake county to select candidates for judges of the different courts and circuit prosecutor, thus taking our courts entirely out of politics? Judging from remarks relating to the work of the courts In Lake county, it would seem that when Governor Marshall made bis appointments, he must have had very reliable information or else made a first class guess as to the qualifications of those he appointed judges Of all those holding office. It would seem as though those at the head of the courts should certainly be above politics If possible. No political qualification should be demanded. Perhap the same might be' said also about those who are sent to make our laws, still many of our people would not yet consent to that. Respectfully, O. DINWIDDIE. Lowell. Ind., R. P. I.
