"Further, to summarize the result
of the Roosevelt activities to date.
the following may be said: "The campaign of the Roosevelt managers to date has the earmarks
of defeat written all over it. No real
winner ever howls.
"The threat of the Roosevelt force
to contest the southern delegates now
In the Taft column is a farce.. There
is nowhere any physical evidence of any such contest except in Missis
sippi.
"The threats of the Roosevelt mangers, privately expressed, that they 'may' bolt at Chicago is a bluff. Its purpose is to 'frighten southern dele
gates and it will be called.
"The talk of a 'compromise candi
date is a Koosevelt offer to save
their faces. A loser is always will
ing to compromise. ' .
"The talk of a third party is pure buncombe. It is in line with the
talk about a 'bolt.' "

OLIVER'S RAVINGS. S
A revivalist named Oliver who
visited La port e recently and called
that city "the rottenest this side of
hell," has been in Van Wert lately
Oliver is the so-called evangelist who uses language in the pulpit that
would not be permitted in-a grog gery. He said in part: "I have spoken for more than two hours. If you rot and go to hell, staggering , and stumbling ever the message of Almighty God it is not my fault. I have ho apology for any utterances I have made. If you people who have not cleaned up have no inclination to do so now you can sink as far in
hell as the d-vll can put you. .This meeting is closed. "The statement has been made here in Van "Wert by some dirty little puppet of the pulpit that 'there is no harm in the dance, the theater or cards. To "hell with that kind of a minister." Seeing the startled looks on all sides. Dr. Oliver added, "I am not swearing, brethren, I am praying. A preachre of that sort is worse than a bull-necked bartender."
At the close of his visit to Van
Wert as in Laporte he was literally
showered with money. Indeed Oliver
refuses to cuss and wear in the pul
pit unless he is weH paid. He charges so much to defile the House
of the Lord and is getting rich at it
THE. TITANIC.
Words fair in even attempting to
picture the indescribable horror attending the midnight sinking of an
oceap liner on the trackless waste and only those who have gone down in boats to the sea and are safe on dry land can conjure up the mad
horrible scenes. A shattering colllsion with a jagged remorseless ice
mountain; the Screams of men, wom
en and children awakened out , of
slumbers to hear the stentorian ord
ers for the life boats to be lowered;
the swirl of water pouring into aw
ful rents in the ship's fabric: the
maddened primal curses of men
trampling over helpless women
fighting and leaping to the lowering
boats; tne futile agonizing prayers to the Almighty; the careening decks'
slipping into ocean's caverns beneath
the feet sucked Into a maelstrom of waters two miles . deep. Perhaps never in marine history has the
world been so profoundly shocked a3
it is today on listening to the wires telling of the loss of the Titanic. How its very name makes a mock of human endeavor and hopes brought into touch with the forces of the Almighty God. The most colossal floating palace in the world, with nearly 3,000 souls aboard, both it and its human freightage were as nothing. One moment the proudest achievement of ship craft the next unpicturable chaos!

WHY HOWL t Chairman McKinley of the Taft forces in speaking of the political situation at present puts it very succinctly when he 3ays: . "The lesson carried by. this . brief summary of political events so far as the Roosevelt forces are concerned to date, is this: "When you lose, make a martyr out of yourself; cry about it loud and long in public anything to make the people believe you lost' something you never had. "When you win occasionally, pro
A PUBLIC MARKET.
The public market proposition for
Hammond is anything but a dead is
sue, and the sooner the city adminis
tration takes steps to carry out the
proposed plans, the Booner will
convince the taxpayers that their in
terests are the first consideration
Let there be no delay, the time to
get busy is now, and not when the hucksters begin to swarm into the
city. Every public improvement re
quires the unwinding of a certain
amount of red tape and ihe time to
begin unwinding is now. Let Ham
mond be first in one thing anyway!
The city already has the site for
the public market the vacant prop erty in the rear of the city hall ex
tending to the city barn. At the
present time it Is an unsightly stor
age yard, and in as much as the city
is put to the necessity of locating
more convenient storage yard, the city market idea should be worked out simultaneously. The proposed
site is probably not all it should be.
it may be found to be too small; some sections of . the. city may find it out
of reach, but under the circum
stances it will answer the first needs
, Only as far as the size and the lo
cation of the city market are con
cerned should be It is considered an
experiment, for the city market as beneflclent public institution is
success in other cities and can
made so here. All that is necessary is that it be conducted along preper
lines in other words that it be con
ducted for the benefit of the shopping
housewife and the actual producer
and not for the wholesaler and the
middleman. To conduct it otherwise,
would mean having a public market
yes, but the advantages to the public would be nil, and such a market
Hammond does not need nor want
Again we say, the time for work
ing out 'the public market - idea now, so that the benefit may
reaped with the first products from the soil. " We believe that Mayor Smalley is in favor of the idea. Let him take the initiative and see what a popular step he will take. -
