A GOOD SUGGESTION. A correspondent of a New York paper suggests the following qualifications for all as requisites in the selection of public officeholders: "Every candidate for political preferment should hereafter be required to present to the electorate a certificate from the health department showing that he is in perfect physical condition; that his ancestors unto the fourth generation were untainted of tuberculosis, lumbago, gout, pip, heresy , or treason; that none of them was ever sued for divorce, breach of promise or alienation of affections, and that all of them died In the odor pf sanctity."

ANYTHING TO BEAT HIM. The democratic and bull moose war cry against the late esteemed Vice President James Sherman was that he was a "millionaire" a "corporation man" and a "bloated bondbolder." The estate was probated last week and Is officially reported as $370,075. Why there are men around here that have lots more money than that. We believe somebody once remarked a million is a lot of money.

AS for you T. R. Marshall we trust you will have as easy a time In being vice president as you had In being governor. ,

A HEALTH EDITORIAL.

Good health Is a matter that should interest every man, woman and child in the world and yet how

many persons in Lake county for example, bother their heads over the question of how to conserve their

health?

How many persons understand that filtering the water, while clearing it of mud, does not purify it? How many realize that the danger from

scarlet fever is not during the progress of the disease, but from what It may leave the patient heir to? Or if they know that many ills are likely to follow in the wake of this most common and deadly disease to which children are a prey, how many know that the most frequent, the most insidious and the ,most unlikely-to-be-detected-until-it-is-too-late aftermath of scarlet fever is Brights disease? Who of the patients, or those who are nursing and caring for patients sick with the measles, in the Calumet region, understand that while measles is a comparatively inconsequental ailment, it leaves the subject prone to pneumonia and also to consumption? How many people understand that It is not fresh cold airethat produces colds but impure warnyair? How large a percentage of the par

ents of children who have never experienced whooping cough, believe .-that it is inevitable, and amounts to

nothing anyhow? Perhap3 it does not amount to much, but when vomiting accompanies, it, and this is an incident in most cases of whooping cough, or at least in a very large number of them, the patient is so weakened as to lay, his system liable to "the first infectious disease that comes along? And yet these are things that every parent ought to know.

THE REGION EEJ0ICES. Indiana Harbor and the entire Calumet region are rejoicing over the good news from Washington, whereby Indiana Harbor is placed on the same basis in regard to prospective

Harbor improvement as is Chicago. A while back the outlook for an appropriation by congress to be available during the fiscal year of 1914, seemed dubious. A democratic house, with the assurance of a democratic president to take his seat in the spring,' might easily have held back

an appropriation, reserving this if made at all, as a democratic thunder

for the time when the democrats

were m lull control, both in the senate, and the house. Also the

policy of the Rivers and Harbors

committee seemed to be along tb'T lines of retrenchment. , Nothing Jat looked like "new business' was ty" re

ceive recognition.

Those who were working itf the interests of Harbor Improvement ac-

Icprdlngly united .tfeair forces to

secure any old appropriation, if only

$25,000. This recognition would establish the Harbor improvement matter as "old business." To that end they put forth their most herculean efforts, and their zeal has been rewarded by an appropriation far more than they had anticipated after learning the disposition of the house committee on Rivers and Harbors, although nothing like as large a sum as that recommended by the board of United States engineers. With the breakwaters which an appropriation of f 20u,000 assures In

diana Harbor will be rendered navigable to lighters as well as deep draught vessels, in all kinds of weather. A harbor that will be a harbor for all navigation, means every thing to a city, and thi3 is now

assured for Indiana Harbor.

CHANGE IT BY ALL MEANS. Senator Gavit's proposal at Indianapolis to strike out the words "and

best" In the public contract law is not a bad one. As the law now reads a public contract is awarded "to the lowest and best bidder." The words "and ' best" are In this case In the class which the chief bull mooser on one occasion termed weasel words. Like a weasel sucking the life blood

from its prey so these words take from the law the protection to the taxpayer which it should give. The words "and best" are too often made

the subterfuge, for ignoring an un

welcome low bidder who is trying to break up a combination and with the

other safe guards that the law pro

vides there is no need for this

"nigger."

HUNTINGTON AMBITIOUS TOO

Having heard that the city of Gary is. trying to induce the legislature to advance it from the fourth to the second class the city of Huntington

would like to have similar preferment

from the Hoosler solons and be ad

vanced from the fifth to the fourth

class. . '

liveryman of LaGrange, and Joseph Talbott, 26 years old. a traveling salesman of Wabash, Ind., were instantly killed yesterday afternoon when a northbound passenger train on the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad struck an auto In which they were riding at a crossing three miles north of LaGrarge. The men dl dnot . see or hear the approaching train and drove directly In its path. Charles Timmis is, the son of William C. Timmis, a live stpek merchant of LaGrange. Both men were married. TOWN NEARLY WIPED OUT. A $6,000 fire at Sanders, six miles south of Bloomlngton, yesterday nearly wiped out the business section of the little town, when the Thomas Harp general store, the Henry Fisher store and the Hays residence were destroyed.

The fire started from a drective flue In the Fisher store and as there wae no fire protection the wind carried the flames to adjoining buildings. Hays' loss Is $4,500, with $3,500 insurance; Fisher's loss is $1,600, with $1,000 insurance. Other losses are not computed. 1 CONFESSES TO l,70O THEFT. Garfield Brown, aged ' 26 ; years, confidential bookkeeper for the Dodge Manufacturing Company of Mlahawaka. leader in church affairs and considered one of the promising young men of the city, is under arrest there on charges of stealing checks and drafts aggregating $1,700 from the Dodge Company. The young man has confessed. After being taken into custody it became known that Brown had secretly married Miss Kate Anderson, a wellknown

young woman of Mlshawaka at Cassopolls, Mich.. Jan. 1. It also develops that he Is supposed to have a wife and child In Michigan.

WILL HE TAKE IT ? Mr. Marshall is up a tree. When Governor Hanly retired from

If he takes it the Hanly criticism stares him in the face. J Sometimes criticisms are to inop-

PROTECT THE POOR MAN.

If the Lake County Bar Association

did nothing else to warrantits exist

ence, but to advocate and see to the

successful finish, a change in the law

to protect the impecunious litigant, it

will have fulfilled a worthy mission

as an organized body.

The association at its meeting this

week, among other propositions gave

approval, to Judge Kopelke's propos

ed code amendment that the grant

ing of a change of venue from the

county In civil cases should rest in

the discretion of the judge.

There is no question but what the

change of venue law is too often abused by the scheming lawyer. The

poor client who has a just cause, Is defeated before he begins to set the wheels of justice in motion. The size of his pocket book and that of his witnesses determines whether or not he can have justice for he and his witnesses must live in an adjoining county as well as at home, not only for one day, but possibly for many. Under our venue system a change may in the first place be had from the judge in whose court the case is begun. Should the judge assign a court, the judge of which is also unsatisfactory, a change may had to the adjoining county. Now the opposing side has its inning, and it may ask for the same changes in the adjoining county so as to throw he case into a county still farther removed from the original court in which the case was instituted. Now if the court before whom the

case is first filed, is given discretionary power in regard to taking a Civil case out of the county this expensive process of litigation would be at once

curtailed.

It has been said in opposition to

this discretionary power that too

much of the court's time would be consumed in arguing for the change of venue, but the issue is not the

court's time, but the client's pocket book.
