MARTIN a CULL. "BULL MOOSE" ROOSEVELT. "I feel like a bull moose," said Col. Roosevelt when he heard the news from Oregon. Well for the sake of our women and children, let's get somebody else for president who doesn't feel like a bull moose when anything surprising happens. YOU CANT TELL. And now what is this that we have? The Australian maU that came to London., the other day brings the Intelligence that scientists have found that the south pole is a will-o'-wisp that dances around dally within a diameter, the area of which is variable and uncertain, maybe two miles and probably thirty. Either the explorers, down at the south polo have been- taking much too much three-star or the old pole id dancing, with joy because it has been discovered. Then again might it not be possible that news that the Erie railroad is to paint up its Hammond depot this spring is the cause of the old pole's giddy doings? MENACE TO GREAT LAKES. The cities of the Great Lakes can not too. soon arouse themselves to the danger threatened by the lakes to-gulf deep waterway project. Th9 plan is that a channel at least four teen feet deep shall be provided a soon as passible between Chicago and New Orleans In the waterway made available by the Chicago drain age canal, the Illinois river into which It empties, and the Mississippi It is proposed later to increase the depth to twenty feet. The Buffalo chamber of commerce has already sent a vigorous protest to the secretgry of war, pointing out that the water in Lake Erie was a foot lower In 1911 than in 1908. Tt Is self-evident that this result was brought about, la "BOme measure at

Lewis. least, by the Chicago canal, which taps Lake Michigan and drains an Immense quantity of water from it Into the Illinois river. Even Lyman E. Cooley, the promoter and chief engineer of the canal, confesses that its effect upon the level of the lakes has been greater than he anticipated. What the consequences would be, In respect to the lake levels, of pouring water from Lake Michigan into the Illinois river through a channel twenty feet deep, is a problem for expert engineers. That it would be great enough further to handicap traffic on the lakes and to a serious extent is obvious to all who know anyfbing about the difficulties exist ing in getting heavily laden steam ers through the St. Mary's river and the shallow channels between Lake Huron and Lake Erie. The trouble is that the people of the Great Lakes region do not take the project seriously. Therein lies their mistake. Chicago and the people of the Mississippi valley are deeply interested in it - and are thoroughly determined to put it through, if possible. Moreover, they are hard at work with that end in view. The lake cities should be up and doing. Cleveland Leader. TAFT'S SPEECH. The magnificent speech of President Taft In Massachusetts, simply warns the cockles of one's heart and makes his friends reiterate, "Oh why didn't he start sooner?" If ever Roosevelt was shown up in his true colors it was yesterday. Had that speech been made in Indiana 30 of her delegates would be at the Chicago convention to vote for Mr. Taft. Had it been made in Pennsylvania and Illinois what a different result would have been noted. The hypocrisy of Roosevelt was never made more manifest. His inconsistencies the untrue charges he has been responsible for were shown up splendidly by President Taft. What a revelation it was. . Now what have the disciples of one Theodore Roosevelt got to say? IT WOULDN'T DO HERE. A lecturer at the Gary Commercial Club last night said that there are no Judges or lawyers in Abyssinia. This must be an ideal place to live in. Litigants impress the nearest bystanders into service as judge and jurors. However, such a state of affairs in this country would be hard on that part of Gary officialdom which is always in hot water. There would be no changes of venue to Porter county and in puch an event there is no telling what would happen. CLEAN UP THE ALLEYS. The cities in the Calumet region which do not order and provide for the cleaning up of garbage and refuse-filled alleys may have something to regret before the summer is over. Some of the alleys in Hammond for instance are a crying shame. They are neglected by both property owners and the municipality combin ed. Waste and accumulations of the fall and winter months are promiscuously heaped in spots ad jacent to houses providing for the breeding of flies and other malignant insects which scientists have proven perilous to humanity. People will clean the interior of their houses twice a year but the backyard and the alley are always neglected when as a matter of fact they need just as much attention as the former. They breed more disease by far and it la to be hoped that the street cleaning department of the various cities will order a thorough cleaning up of these pestilential typhoid spots a3 soon as they possibly can. A LARGE number of violent cases of spring fever are reported but they are undoubtedly just a variation of all-the-year-round laziness prevalent in certain'' quarters. At any rate the busy man never has time for spring fever. SOMETIMES a fellow feels as if he would walk two miles to get a glimpse of a good old fashioned circus poster. Don't they make them any more?

SENATOR Cullom advises young men to keep out of politics. Well senator, you know that some young men do not go into, politics for the money there is in it. THE several cities in the Calumet region do not seem to be following the practice of the housewife who is doing her house-cleaning. THE mortality among grandmothers Is just awful and office boys are affected this year worse than they have ever been before. ONLY two days more and the Twin Cities hope to be able to show you something great in the shape of a street car. franchise. MRS. C.

IF the men's vests keep getting any higher some of the ultra fashionables are liable to be taken for ministers. GOV. MARSHALL says that "a man should not" seek the presidency. .Let it come to him. So far the presidency has no inclination to come his way. If your tTncle Tom Knotts years ago sat around waiting to be hit with the Gary mayoralty he would still be a cop in Hammond. Blessed are the meek, but save the quotation for the next world. GARY'S per capita Is $1,127.40 says the state statistician. We haven't that much.

The blaze was started by an explosion in the basement of the pickle plant. The aggregate loss is esti

DOWN in Lowell they refer to Thk Times as "the great daily." This ought to rub some of the varnish oft of the 'steemed Chicago Trib's gall knobs. A HAMMOND cop has been promoted after twelve years of faithful service. No doubt Mayor Knotts lets a few tears drop when he reads this. Chances are that if Tom had kept on the Hammond department he might now be sergeant of the mounted squad. OLD Andy Carnegie is having the earth re-measured. If Andy will wait a few years until some of those Miller sadn dunes are removed he will find Old Earth's girth considerably reduced, all of which, would effect a considerable savings In the siie of the tape line to be purchased. THE brand of water they have down around St. John must have great virtues in it since a lot ot citizens down there sustained a relapse an hour after drinking some of It. We clip this from the St. John correspondence of This Times. "Adam Gard, the genial old bachelor on Spring Hill, took a party, including the gravel road supervisor, the town marshal. Judge and Andrew Doctor, the painter, over the northern part of Lake county on Wednesday in his automobile. The judge, marshal and the road supervisor are sufferers from rheumatism, and the ride in the sunny air was a great benefit to them, also the water-cure treatment by Mr. Gard. They felt well coming home, but are sorry to report that all had a relapse after an hour at home on Spring Hill." HAS any one seen our speeial correspondent. Hennery Coldbottle? LATER The town marshal at Dyer reports seeing Hennery riding on a motorcycle ax break-neck speed In the direction of Spring Hill. VOICE OF P E O P L, E ANOTHER ISMAY DEFENDER. .

James struck on the head by an eight-pound , accusations. wherein his conduct justifies you in publicly coupling his name and character with the infamous. It seems to me that because he was a quiet self-controlled, perfectly balanced man, who considered his life worth saving after proper regard for other In like distress that because, forsook, he did not chose to be a spectacular sacriflcat hero, he cannot be comprehended and must therefore be branded by 4gnomlous purveyors of mental emetic, as Inhuman and base. One cannot much wonder at the public's appetite for vain glorious deeds and carnage when fed and nourished by such mental and moral perverts as publish themselves , in many of our daily papers. A man of - honor, accustomed to speaking the truth and being believed is offensively disbelieved, because probably, nobody is believed, but the basest motives are ascribed to his every act. On what account? Apparently because he prudently and dutifully used an opportunity to save himself without sacrificing others. But these are not qualities of the heroic they would not merit a Carnegie medal, therefore they are base and he an outcast! Though you, Mr. Editor, may think to write his name with Judas and Benedict Arnold, I for one, am pleased to be called his countryman, and consider those individuals noble souls and gentlemen compared with the well described character assassins of whom you choose to be. GEO. GROOM, E Williams St Let us then applaud this paragon of "manliness" who left helpless women and little children behind him on a sinking ship! Let 'us buy medals for this "prudent" shipowner, this "noble soul and gentleman" who said not, "Ladies first," bot "Me first, women and children afterwards." (EDITOR.) MISS BROOKS AGAIN. To Editor Times: Sir West Hammond, 111., Is ; the home of Miss Virginia Brooks, and now that . town i known throughout the country by her work of driving: graftera into the murk. She is a thorn in the side of officials who do not abide by honesty, and rob the Poies by tax ing their homes. When Miss Brooks s father died, his wife and daughter shouldered their responsibilities In life. They rented some West Ham mond property right where the Poles met dishonesty. They resolved that there was no other way to save their rented property than to leave their Chicago home of luxury and make their home In Poiacktown, where brute policemen knock women down by request of crooks higher up, whose rec ords are such that taxpayers have to fiiht for honesty. That account's for Miss Virginia Brooks's gallant victory. FRANKLIN EDWIN CARITHERS. BOB MOHATO BOX M'KINNON New York, April 2.
