Whenever you think about the bull moose party movement, kindly hark back to 1907 when Mr. Roosevelt was president and business was in such rotten shape. Remember it? s . Want some more of it? AN OLYMPIC SURPRISE. The most sanguine Americans have not looked for one prize won by tha United States early in the Olympic competitions at Stockholm. It is safe to say that the award of the Olympic prize for art to the American sculptor Winans, is a complete surprise to his countrymen. The subject, too, la thoroughly American. The artist shows an American sulky. Nothing could be .. ., . . . . uiui b utBt.iuci.ive ui iuu country ia every sense, and the extreme up-to-lateness of the whole work makes Its victory peculiarly interesting. Evidently the Judges of the Olympic tournament are awake to the power and appeal of New World work in fields which Americans do not always expect Europe to he enough interested in to feel their charm. THE PROPOSED THIRD PARTY. There has been a great deal of talk lately about the organization of a new political party to be made up of the progressives from both the republican and democratic ranks. There Is considerable doubt as to whether there should be any serious deflection from the established political parties. There have been new party movement In the past which Eeemed to threaten the old organisations but which were soon forgotten. Bryan split his party with his free silver heresies and at the same time caused quite a deflection from the republican party. In 1906 there were gold .ind silver democrats and gold and silver republicans. Then previous to that there was the famous popullst'c movement. There is no doubt that there would be a great deal of good resultlnz from the substitution of a conservative and progressive party for tha existing republican and democratic parties Probably the most important thin. that would be accomplished would be the emancipation of the dyed-in-the-wool partisan. The republican or democrat whose politics were determined prenatally would have to do some thinking for himself. The old party prejudices that have made a man stick to his party, right or wrong, would be forgotten in the new alignment. Most important cf all th Htlzpns nf thn nnnthsrn itilu " " VI. u who have harbored a political grouch ever since the civil war, would again become free moral agents. The solid south, would be a thing of the cast.

NOTHING GOOD IS LOST. No star la ever lost we eaee have seen. AVe" always may be what we might have beea. Stare a;od. (knack only thought, has life and breath. God's life -an always be redeemed from death And Kvtl, la Its nature Is decay. And any hoar ran bolt it all away) The hopes that lat In some fare dis tance seem.

The real treasure Is that laid up by man or woman Through charity and piety, temperance and aelf-cootroli The treasure thu hid la secure, and passes not awayi Though he leave the fleeting riches of tbla world, this a man takes with him A treasure that no wrong of others and no thief can steal. Let the wise man do good deedw the treasure follow a of itself. Mdhlkanda Sutta. A new party would make the vot ers think before they cast their lot. Reason would prevail against pre judice. It would be less a matter of party and more a question of the issues. This is considering the proposition aside from the question as to whether or not the progressive movement la properly lead, whether it is born of a sincere desire to improve political conditions and aa to whether or not present conditions Justify it. There are many reasons why tha old line parties should be perpetuated. They are bound by certain traditions. They are governed by valuable precedents. They have a stability that makes them a known quantity. They are reasonably safe and sane. Should a progressive party be organized under the leadership of Roosevelt and Bryan, its responsibility would be no greater than the responsibility of its leaders. It would have no traditions and precedents to tie to. Its policies would be a rope of sand. It would have no policy except to widely advertise Roosevelt or Bryan. In addition to the wise reforms that have been advocated by Bryan and Roosevelt the country would be subject to their well known vagaries. From Bryan we might expect spurious policies such as free silver, imperialism, government ownership and we know that Roosevelt favored the recall of Judicial decisions and never respected sharp lines of demarcation between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our national government. I Wo TiJitiirnllv p n tn octaKllctii. . ...... . , institutions. This is the weakness of the progressive movement. There are republicans and democrats who are going to stand by the old party organizations no matter how brilliant the prospects are for the birth a ne oarty. They are the men who recognize the fact that a party Is nothing but an aggregation of individuals and that it is subject to the mistakes of the individual. They believe that the steam roller is the only cure for the political hysteria that is likely to put the republican party in the attltud mit-Bryanlzing Bryan. They believe that a political organization that has served the people of the United States well for the past Blxty years should not be discarded for the Bake of permitlng one man to gratify his unquenchable thirst for power. They have enough loyalty to the old party, to the man who has guided it through four years of vicissitudes, to stand by it Instead of supporting a political adventurer solely as a. matter of EXPEDIENCY. ' The, opportunist is for Roosevelt. .T-. 1 1 . ... ins man wno is a republican as a matter of principle, regardless of whether or not the party is victorious next fall, regards the new party movement merely as a superficial de monstration that will soon subside. FEMININE MOTORCYCLISTS. One phase or legislation that Is badly needed Is law governing the riding or two persons on a motorcycle built to hold but one. Of late a lot of young speeders have gotten into the habit of taking a girl along with them. The position of the person on the rear of a motorcycle is a perilous one to say the least, as somo recent accidents have shown. According to the National Police Magazine, Chicago police declare that a lot of girl3 accept invitations to ride with motorcyclists they never met before. And the most of them that hit Lake county look like it too. They certainly wear the label.

WHY NOT TAKE SAFE COURSE? Much expert testimony has been given to the effect that Harry Thaw i3 still insane. Eminent authorities have declared on the witness stand that a person in his mental state is likely tQ attack or kill any one who may seem to a deranged mind to have don him injury. In the light of such evidence why take chances? Why not keep Thaw where be is safe and can do no great harm? What could be gained by letting him out of the hospital for the criminal insane where he has been well cared for and kept out of mischief? The world does not need him. He has nothing to do which would better the lot of his family, his city, hia state or his country. It would be of no benefit to society to turn bim loose and it might result in another murder.

WHY MEDDY IS SORE. A correspondent wants to know why the Chicago Tribune which poses as a republican paper is fighting President Taft now when it has not always fought him. There are two reasons, Medill McCormick, one of the Tribune's largest stockholders wanted an ambassadorship when Mr. Taft was first elected. He wanted it badly, and the president could not see it that way. Then McCormlck's paper started to abu&a Mr. Taft instead of praising him as it had in the past. Then Dan Hanna, McCormick's brother-in-law, was indicted in connection with the prosecution of certain trust cases. This made McCormlck as sore as a bear with a thorn in his paw. So now the Tribune is working for Mr. Roosevelt who has doubtless promised McCormick that ambassadorship if he wins. McCormick's grudge is personal. He cares nothing for the people or for Roosevelt NOTHING LIKE IT. To show you how well the Baltimore nominations have been received in this duchy we might mention that as yet none of the local leaders has sprained his elbow getting up signatures for a Wilson-Marshall Booster club. Insofar as a number of hustling and perspiring reporters are able to ascertain after a week's chase over the county. LOUD AND TUNEFUL. The Rev J. C. Smith, known the loudest singer in the country, was in Winchester this week, having several of his choice songs published by the Democrat's job department. He claims to hold the record o loud singing without losing tune. Win chester (Ky.) Democrat. NO one with a modicum of reason can blame Mrs. Champ Clark for feel ing as if she would like to fix Mr. Bryan bo that he wouldn't be pre sentable on the lecture platform for a long time. BOSTON woman says a husband should be fined for his short-comings. Dear no! There Is an easier way to get It than that. Just go through his jeans about three A. M. EAST Chicago is entitled to a generous allotment of praise for its pur chase of handsome sign posts. Other cities calling themselves such kindly sit up and take notice. THE death rate of New York has been reduced one-half since 1866. But then most of the visitors In New York manage to get back home before they die. THE Baltimore convention certainly had good Impulses. Some of the delegates were so Impressed with the Lord's Prayer that they applauded It. IF Mr. Wilson 13 ever elected president, he's going to have his hands full keeping those pretty daughters of his from getting married. KING George of Greece, promises to resign next year. But then, as Senator Lorimer would point out, "next year" is always in the future. THE Cobe race course every once in a while gets restive under the grind and shows that it has murderous feelings just so often. IN the meantime where' precious Ormeby McHarg? SENATOR Lafollette continues to

load the bull moese full of bird shot

AFTER its auspicious opening in Baltimore last .week, the canning season, this year, ought to be an unqualified success. . .

POSSIBLY Baltimore felt that when it gave a square meal it wasn't obligated to give at the same time a square deal. EVIDENTLY we are not called upon to revise our opinion regarding the standing of the Hammond ball team. THE campaign being over for a time, the summer girl will do her best to keep the honeyfuggling business from languishing. A VOTE on the weather man these days would undoubtedly show a decisive majority in favor of the recall. IF the democrats are going to have such a snap this fall, why all these warlike preparations? SOME of the Hammond Country Club members are now learning what Mr. Taft sees in golf. WHAT do the Elks think of this bull moose movement anyway? HOWintheworlddoyoustandit? EARD BY R U BE WITH street cars running around her court house it won't be long until the Crown Pointers are referring to the square as the loop. A good deal of the romance of mar ried life gets withered late on Saturday night, when a tired mother has to put three kids into the bathtub to give them a scrubbing. THAT hesitation about Woodrow re signing the governorship to splash out for the White House Is no doubt due to the old proverb that a hen In the mitt is worth a pair in the bullrushes. -PITTSBVRG IN THE THROES OF A REAL, MORAL, WAVE." Headline. No doubt it is the tall-end of that little typhoon that suddenly swept over Gary a few months ago. ALL. that Is necessary now to line up Tom OConnell'a vote is for tome one of the faithful to discover that Tommy Marshall ia a direct descendant of the Hon. Brian Boru. TEDDY B. As far as we know, In case he is elected, Berghoff will be declared the official beverage of the vice presidency. WHAT'S become of the old fashioned town woman who used to buy green tomatoes and place them on the window sill to redden? MANY a titewad would buy an auto weren't for the fact that he is scared to death that some of his neighbors might ask him for a ride. THE village (Hegewlsch) smithy is busy shoeing Brother Louis' hoss. the red wagon Is all iloi'.wl up. and it won't be long until our subscription legate Is out jollying the farmers and parting them from enough of the green to keep the paper coming for another twelve month. NOTICE by The Times' classified col umns mat me maiters or Ambrew, a new liquid concentrated beer, a spoonful of which in water makes a pint of Bud, want agents. Hennery Coldbottle has sent for three barrels of the stuff as a sample. If it's all right Hennery will give an order for some of it. IN other words, T. R. Is an imitator of Vulcan now that he Is trying to make some bolts. AMONG other little bothers is the couple who takes profound pains to celebrate the first monthly anniversary ofthelr wedding. JOHN L. was 73 yesterday and up to the time we went to press nobody at Whiting was grateful enough to send him a little present. A SOCIALIST is always for dividing the wealth of the country until some forgotten relative leaves him a five thousand or so. THE mayor of Boston got sick from eating something at Baltimore on the last day of the convention. Good people of Gary ought to thank the Lord that hizzoner, the Hon. Tom Knotts, essayed to come home cfne day sooner. AMONG other pleasant occupations at this time of the year is that of the merchant who is getting in his winter furs, caps and overcoats and who spends an hour each day checking them "P. IT wouldn't be a bad idea if the South Shore Interurban would hang out a few .igns on its station platforms reading, -Women and Children First." IN other words. It's a good thing that when the "Titanic" .went down that a lot of South Shore male passengers weren't on the passagor list instead of the good sports that were. HIGHLAND girls are getting so economical that they set out tubs to gather In rain water for a bath, as It is a great soap saver. SEE that Jim Sherman Is to take the rest cure.. Now whoever heard of a vice president doing anything that would require a rest? Must be some mistake. HEAR tell that a lot of those canny Lowell farmers will go to Chicago next week to see about getting the hay , privileges for the bull moose conven

VOICE OF P E O R L, E

MR. PATTERSON'S STATEMENT. West Hammond, July 5. Editor Times: Dear Sir; I have aeon requested by varloua citizens of the city of West Hammond to make a public atatement with reference to the case of Joseph Kusel vs. City of West Hammond, et al. This statement ia made only for tha purpose of presenting to the taxpayers of West Hammond the facta in the above case, and is not inspired n any way by a desire to appear la th public prints, and were It not for the fact that the public have a right to know the present status of the above ease this communication would not be adressed to you. The people of West Hammond are generally familiar with the principal facts in the Kuzel case, viz: that with' out any authority of law the former board ordered fifteen hundred and Sixty dollars paid to a Chicago law firm when not a dollar had been appropriated, and no fund existed to which a warrant could be legally charged, or from which It could be legally paid. Prior to the actual payment a bill was tiled by a taxpayer to enjoin, the payment of the aforesaid amount. Notices were served on all the officials and a motion for an injunction made in court. Pending the hearing of that motion and after the apear&nce of all parties In court, the money was actually paid by the former treasurer, he making an Indemnity agreement between himself and the Chicago law firm. It may be said In this connection that the former treasurer was prevailed upon to make the payment but Insisted, as I am advised upon some form of security. The court dismissed the bill for injunction and an appeal was taken to the Appellate Court on the ground that the payment was fictitious, constituted an act of disregard for a court of chancery, and on the further and more important ground that the warrants were absolutely void. On April 16th the present adminis tration was elected and later assumed power. Among its first acts it ordered and directed ita City Attorney and its then corporation counsel to confess eror In this case for the reason that the present administration was In complete harmony with the object sought to be obtained by the Kuzel bill. In this manner a speedy disposition of the case in the Apellate Court would result without any great expense to any of the parties Involved. The motion was made In the Appellate Court, but the city attorney, Jacob Kata, filed counter suggestions In that court asking that the motion to confess eror on behalf of the city be denied. On July 1st the Appellate court denied the mo tion to confess error without prejudice to the bringing of another similar motion, and gave as the ground of Its decision the fact that there appeared to be a conflict as to who was the proper party to confess error. Mr. Katz claimed that as the city attorney he-alone had the power to take such action if In his opinion he deemed it advisable. He contended In his suggestions filed in court that the city council of the" city of West Hammond had no power or authority to direct or order him to take any action with respect to the delayed management of any case. He further contended that he was an elected official, just aa the other city officers are, and was re sponsible only to his constituents. Irrespective of the motives. If any, of Mr. Kati's arguments, thla fact stands out above all others, viz; that if Mr. Katz really had the interest and the welfare of' West Hammond at heart he would have willingly and eagerly brushed aside his legal quibbles and have co-operated with the city council in this matter for the purpose of effect ing a restoration to the city of the money illegally paid. Instead of that, under, the guise of legal sophistry, Mr, Kata oppesses the wishes of the city of West Hammond as expressed by resolution of its common council, and because of hla interference alone the very Important movement looking to ward the recovery of the fifteen hundred and sixty dolars has been blocked This same Mr. Kata some time ago made a motion before Judge Wlndea asking to be substituted In my place and stead as the attorney for the city of west Hammond in a certain suit known as the Inter-State Electric Company vs. City of West Hammond, Mr. Katz merely stated the motion to the court but the argument of the mo tion lasting some thirty minutes, was conducted very ably by Mr. Fred H. Atwood, of the law firm of Atwood, Pease and Loucks, the payees named In the fifteen hundred and sixty dollar warranties involved in the Kuzel suit. Just why Mr. Katz felt the need of Mr. Atwood on such a simple matter as a motion for substitution can best be left to the common aense of the law abiding citizens of West Hammond. Mr. Katz has on several occasions, the most recent one dated June 27th, been rebuked by the unanimous vote of the city council of West Hammond for his acts and attitude with reference to the

Kuzel case. The responsibility rests with him. As long as he continues to oppose the directions and orders of the city council little or nothing can be accomplished looking toward a recovery of the fifteen hundred and sixty dollars. The time for filing briefs on behalf of the appellant has gone by. A motion, I am advised. Is now pending to dismiss the appeal in the Kuzel c&se, and Mr. Katz is In a position to keep alive this case. If it is dismissed it wll be because he oellberately desires that action taken. His acts all along the line In this case have been Inspired not by any desire to benefit the city of West Hammond, but are actuated entirely by the fact that the city council has seen fit to employ me to handle certain phases of Its legal work instead of " entrusting the same to the patriotic public spirited Mr. Kata. Yours very truly, P. a PATTERSON.
