Learn from Washington that Representative Cullop, of Indiana, has introduced a bill looking to the erection in the capital of a government residence second in rank to the White House for the proper housing of the Vice President. Not to let the grass grow under his feet, Mr. Cullop further asks for an appropriation of $3,000, not for the erection of a bungalow, but for plans for the proposed Vice Presidential palace. Having swallowed our suprise, also a lot of remarks we started to make, and our recollection of the combination Jeffersonlan-simplicity, economy promises of the campaign, we beg Representative Cullop to haul back his measure long enough to Incorporate In it provisions for residences for the Speaker of the House, tie Doorkeeper of the Senate, senior mem ber of the Press Gallery, Chief of Po lice the cady master at Chevy Chase, the head suit-case snatcher at the Willard, the man who steams the oysters at Harvey's and other national characters. When doing anything do it well. It doesn't become a new administra tlon to be mean and niggardly. SUFFRAGETTES are searching Gotham for handsome men to pose with beautiful women in parade. Poor success! Hard lines. LIVING MONEY. Never, apparently, were people so prosperous as now. You see it every where You see clerks and book keepers wearing raincoats who only a few years ago had one cloth coat against either cold or wet. You see middle-class people dining in smart places where prices have no relation to the value of food. You see a mason going to work in patent leather shoes and a day laborer in his trench at noon-time eating eggs and white bread spread with butter or jelly And you wonder if the cost of living has risen. In the strict sense, or whether, in spite of high prices, the command people have over goods to supply their wants is not greater than was ever the case before. The common notion that the cost of living has risen in a manner to inflict hardships upon the consumer was challenged recently by The Annalist in an article tending to

WRITTEN IN KENSINGTON GARDEN.

In this lone, open glade I He, Screened by de-p bonghi on either band Ami at tta end, to stay the' eye, Tknr blark-crownrd. redboled pie trees stand. Blrda here make nong, each bird ha his. Arrow the girdling city's hum. Ilovr gwn under the bnnKka It Is! How thick the tremulous aheep cries come! So met I men a child will cross the glade To take his nurse hJa broken toy ; Sometimes a thrush flits overhead Deep In her unknown day's employ. Here at my feet what wonders pass! What endless, active life la here! What ltlowlna- daisies, fragrant grass! An alrstlrred forest, fresh and clear. Scarce fresher la the mountain sod Where the tired angler Ilea, stretched out. And. eased of basket nnd of rod. C'onnts his day's spoil, the spotted trout. In the huge world which roan hard by. Ue others happy If they can! But la my helpless cradle I v as breathed on by the rural Pan. I. on men's Impious uproar anrled. Think often, as I hear them rave. That peace has left the upper world, And now keeps only In the grave. Vet here Is peace forerer new! When I who watch them am away, z-iiii mi tnmgs in i bis glade go through The changea of their quiet day. Then to their happy rest they paasi nowers upcione, tne nirds are fed The night comes down upon the grans. j The child sleeps warmly la his bed, Calm soul of all things! make It mine To feel, amid the city's Jar, That there abides a peace of thine, HI an did not make and can not max T -.ill ia ..ifh., ' power to feel with others, give! Calm, me more! nor let me die Before I have begun to live. . Matthew Arnold. prove that the per capita consumption of basic commodities and of eggs and of railroad transportation in the foi xa of ton miles had remarkably increased along with the rise in prices. The inferences were fairly Irresistible. Various critical comments have been received. Prof. Irving Fisher, who is the leading mathematical exponent of the high cost of living, write to say that he inclines to the same conclu sion, but had preferred to have it ex pressed in another way. Instead of saying, technically, that the cost of living had not risen, making therein a rather fine distinction between cost and prices, he would say that the high prices were owing not to scarcity of goods but to a deprecia tion of money. That is better expres sion. New York Times Annalist. QUITE an important bit of news broke in South America the other day but the papers rather ignored It. A president had died a natural death. OFFICER, HE'S OUT AGAIN! Our neighbor the Gary Tribune is a bore once more. It now comes out for a 150-feet boulevard "between the railroad tracks and the Grand Calumet river" to give the natives an out let to the lake at Miller. From time to time the Tribune probably because its editor is a member of that great creator of hot air, the Gary park board has advocated lake front parks at tin plate and coke oven beaches, $100,000 breathing spot at Miller, state park at Miller, 2,000 acre park in Little Calumet marshes. outer park belt of 100 miles, Bmall park system, etc., etc., etc. The trouble wtih the Tribune is that like a few other promoters of great "movements" it forgets today the colossal schemes it advocated yes terday. KANSAS co-eds have fixed the ideal husband standard. He must be 5 feet 11, weigh 159 pounds, 31'. 4 inch waist, 6 inches chest expansion, religious, courteous, neat, a fluent conversationalist, accommodating and neither drink nor smoke. Absolutely no use girls, all that kind is in heaven wearing white robes and tuning up harps. BULL MOOSE ACTIVITY. No great amount of support will be given to the bull moose city ticket in Hammond for the reason that it is not a new party but an amalgamation of the old parties that the people in Hammond want In the interests of efficient government. Had there been a movement on the part of a group of public-spirited citizens to put a non-partisan citizens' ticket in the field it would have been received with approbation.

WOMAN is not in style now unless

she wears a hip sash. GOOD thing: that a preacher, an un dertaker and a coffin maker compose the executive committee of the bull moose party in Indlanny, They'll come in handy for the wake that will be held Boon. i KASTERN girl who eloped says that she would do It over again if she had the chance. Her hubby should watch her closely. "Motto for poultrymen: 'Watch and spray'." writes the Fra In the Philistine. Now, what does old Mother ' Hubbard know about chick- I ens? "BLIND girl gives Views. South Bend Tribune. Nothing unusual. She has no use for 'em herself. INDIANAPOLIS NEWS says that "China is a stable republic." China shows great wisdom in not having an auto government. DISPATCHES have It that the government is to drop the coffee trust suits. Probably Uncle Sam 'is more friendly to it since Teddy didn't get a third cup of coffee. LOOK IN THE BIBLE Having been so ignominously fired from his post of the weather bureau is now lookng for that quotation about a prophet being without honor In his own country. VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL wants government to confiscate all estates over 1100,000 when the owner dies. Has our Tommy been attending socialist meetings down In Wash? Where's the Hon. John B. Peterson? Our Congressman ought to hunt Tommy up and give him a lecture on the rights of big corportions. OBSERVE that Mr. Record is being boomed for governor of New Jersey. He ought to make a good copy of the Princeton professor. SEE by .the Crawfordsville Journal that the flood has carried tusk of prehistoric animal down that way. Probably the tusk of one of the early Gary blind pigs. "DO girl3 love as their mothers?" But no. A group of bull moosers, a disappointed faction of the republican party meets and perfects a party organization. It lines up with the democratic, republican, socialist and prohibition parties for the purpose of perpetuating the rule of cities by ; party organization when that is just; what the people of thi3 community are trying to avoid. The bull moose movement this year ; lacks the Teddy fanaticism of 1912. It lack3 the momentum that was given the movement by the internal protest against stand-patism In the republican party. There is positively nothing offered and nothing to expect from either the personnel or the propaganda of the party in Hammond. The movement

is merely the reflex of the same move-jing

ment that defeated the republican party all over the country last year, Were a group of 100 or more citizens of acknowledged ability, possess ing at least some of the qualities of leadership and above all men of de monstrated ability to announce them selves as the sponsors of a movement to unite the progressive forces in all political parties under a local independent ticket there would be such a scramble to get aboard as has never been seen in Hammond. Wb know conditions are rine for a . , . tt . change. e know that Hammond demands an administration that will be progressive and will eliminate the barnacle type of city offical from the city council. We know that nine tenths of the citizens of Hammond

are praying, "Oh Lord how long" asjmost impolite to the Michigeese

they see one progressive project after another bowled over and brought to

naught but they do not see how the' SAM Blythe says that Secretary bull moose remnant can prescribe a!08-11 ls fecundious, orgulous and remedy. The Hammond bull moosers veribigerous. He must have been want to vote the democratic machine looking up some of the opposition

into power again. That's what they will do. MISSOURI mules are selling at $600 apiece. Champ Clark ought to find no little consolation in this fact. ABOUT HOUSECLEANING. j Husbands of painfully insistent' wives in the matter of heusecleaning ! please tarry before you take to the woods! "Good housewives never clean house." Such a declaration, coming as it does from the National Secretary of the Housewives' League is sufficiently startling to call a halt in the general shak'eup that comes with the budding leaves and the first robin red-breast. "Not clean house," protests the average housewife, pausing in her arduous task of wielding or directing the course of the scrubbing brush and the scouring brick, in the annual

asks old Laury Jeen Libbey. Now, all girls think that their mothers never loved as they did and all mothers honestly believe that there never was and never wOl be a love like theirs.

YOUNG pig, mascot of New York police, has been mysteriously slain. Cops probably got nervous lest It squeal. SCRIPTURE expert says Bible should read that "Beizebub la the father of flies" and not of "lies." Some anr.ient proofreader made the bull which goes to show that proofreaders were as contrary then as now. ILLINOIS negro who once ran for president has been appointed Janitor of tn Springfield state house. Well, he has attained a position of power in any event. . JUST LIKE THEM After having granted the women of Colorado the right to vote they are repaying the men by demanding that Woodrow give to them one-half of all the federal Jobs in th state.

Considering that Gary is only 7 years old, you can't blame It for feeling frisky now and then. "THE Answer to Burgundy" was subject in oratorical contest in nearby high school. Hennery Coldbottle will deliver his famous address, "The Answer to Riesling." upon his return from the east. SUNDAY paper told of Frenchman who fell in love with his wife's feet. We want to say that if the American husbands fell in love with their wive's feet they woudln't be loving much.

If you must give your hose a gen eral overhauling this time, admon ishes Mrs. Charles Griffin, the origin ator of the non-housecleaning cam paign, "see to it that the necessity . for such an upheaval never occurs 'again. The real secret of keeping the . house In order is to do a little clean every day so there will be no cause of the spring and fall dospera jtions.

MARSHALL REBUKED AT HOME In his address in New York last Saturday evening Vice President Mari shall gave voice to the following soothing sentiment: "The right to inherit and the right to devise are neither inherent nor constitutional, but, upon the contrary, they are simply privileges given by the state to its citizens." Aroused by these rather careless words, the New York World, the lead ing democratic newspaper of the country, proceeds to read the vice president a lecture in these good set terms: ''Vice President Marshall should make no more speeches of such demagogic flavor as the one which he delivered Saturday night. He should realize that such a speech incites class hatred without reforming clas discrimination. Such an appeal to the predatory poor only helps the predatory rich. iir.

Left to right: Julia One of the tocUl events of the season at Washington will be the wedding of Miss AJys Meyer, daughter of former Secretary of the Navy Marshall should remember that protestations and professions are the only weapons of the party out of power, but that the party In power is judged solely by its accomplishments. The orators of the democratic party have made it as abundantly clear as millions of words could make it that the party is in Bympathy with popular needs dna not in sympathy with privileged wants. Now let it give words a rest and confine itself to actions. Mr. Marshall would be doing a great deal better to be at work in Washington proving the protestations of the past by exerting his moral influence in the senate to secure the passage . of one tariff-reduction schedule than to be making speeches in New York questioning the right of a father to bequeath his property to his children." Now, that's quite a sizzling little roast to come from one's own party organ and no doubt it blisters its recipient in a painfnl fashion. How ever, it is a blistering that will do good if taken in the proper spirit. Mr. Mashall has never been able thus far to see that as a man ascends the scale he must more and more guard his utterances, for more and more it is the position rather than the man that his auditors hear.
