SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, OCTOBER 2, 1913

A DTSCltFDITKD MAN. The chance of Impeaching Gov. Salter, in the opinion of nu-n well informed In the law, is steadily diminishing. Tammany is likely to be denied tho satisfaction of seeing its enemy ejected from office by th process of Impeachment, but the discrediting of the governor in the eyes of honest men is already complete. To accomplish the governor's impeachment on the. charges preferred it would be necessary that the offences should have been committed after he was elected and inducted into office as the chief executive, of the state of New York, whereas the acts complained of were performed when he was a private citizen and only a candidate for the oMice to which he was subsequently elected. If the governor can be convicted of a penal offense he may yet be deprived of his otfWal position as such conviction would of itself disqualify him for holding the ofllce. but the grounds on which the impeachment proceedings are based are not de-emed sulllcient from a legal point of view. Should it be proved that Gov. Sulzer misappropriated funds contributed by his personal and political friends for election expenses a criminal action might be brought if any of the contributors are so disposed, but the -ho nee of that is comparatively slight. Tho probability is that the. governor will remain in otllce a discredited man and that his future career, which promised so favorably, is ruined. Gov. Fulzer had the instinct of the political reformer and ho had the courage of his convictions. To carry out his reform he broke with Tammany and through his indiscretion expose. 1 himself to the attack that has been made upon him. Unfortunately his reform policies were not grounded In rectitude of personal conduct, if the testimony may be believed. AN OLD .MAID'S IWHADISF. Succinctly touted the opposition to woman stiff. ap.o in England is based on the awraion of the men of that country t. being dominated by the women. There are 1,700,000 more women jf voting ago than men in England. Lord Xorthcllffe, who owns and controls come of the most influential newspapers in England says so. He says ninety-nine out of every one hundred men in England are opposed to woman suffrage for this reason. They won't stand for it. Their fear of female domination is as great as the dread of black domination in the south. No self-respecting man. says Eord Northcliffe, is going to bo dominated by women. The trouble In England, as the late Mayor Gaynor sized it up. Is that there are not enough husbands to go round. England is such a, good place to leave the youn men hike for the colonies or other parts of the world as soon as they aro old enough to Pave the parent in st. And they never come kick, to stay. They become enamored of the broader, bigger life outside the "tight J'ttle isle" and refuse to give it up. Consequently England has becom."1 an old maid's paradise or something else. The girls sutler from shortage of eligible young men. It is unjust, but unavoidable. The girls cannot get away. It would be the irony of fate should they acquire control of the kingdom through the ballot, but Eord Northcliffe says they never will. Let's see what Mrs. Pankhurst has to say nbout it. SECESSION IN MT.XICO. As an abstract proposition the plan of the five northern states of Mexico to secede and form a confederacy will nt do. As an expedient for bringing about an adjustment of the di'hculties that now harrass the republic it may have a salutary effect. The the states invohed in the secession agreement, according to reports of American refugees arriving in El Paso, Texas, are Sonera. Durango, Coahuila. Slnaloa ami Chihuahua. The last named is the ( enter of the Carnancistas rebellion. There are in all twenty-?een states, including Iwrr California, but the five named comprise th larger portion of the territory of the republic and are the most thickly inhabited and prosperous. Most of the American investments in Mexico are emined to these northern states. Chihuahua. Sor.ora and Durango particularly, these states being especially rich in mineral deposits and agricultural possibilities. The capital f the confederacy, should the secession movement succeed, would tlo'ibtlfs be placed at Chihuahua. No expression has b-' n made by the American state department concerning the new mow. but it is certain it would not be encouraged. It would unquestionably be the policy of this government to aid in eery peaceful way the maintenance of the solidarity rf the republic. The movement will l e rgardd s-rio-.:ly only to the extent of being a means to an end, and that end the restoration of peace and he tablishrncnt of a stable government.

WILT HE MINK. FAIR SIH? Sweden is all puffed up with "progressive" pride over a law giving woman the right to propose marriage, but she needn't be, since woman has always had that right in our own dear America. Fact is that, in our country, the law has especially aided her in asserting that right, as was demonstrated in a recent instance In California. Mr. Smith was slow about proposing to Miss Jones. Miss Jones got ohe of those automatics that puncture nice round holes In "a slow suitor as long as the lady keeps her finger on the trigger, called on Mr. Smith at his boarding place, put the muzzle of the automatic under his nose and proposed marriage. He blushed and accepted her. They proceeded at once to the county court house for a license. While Miss Jones wa trying to get around dlsclosue of her age to the license clerk, Mr. Smith dropped from a second story rear window and took up his residence, temporarily. in a large patch of greasewood and manzanltas, in the suburbs. But the police smoked him out of the brush and deposited him before an august Judge, who. In behalf of Miss Jones, proposed marriage. Mr. Smith accepted. Miss! Jones became Mesdame Smith on the spot, "and they lived happily ever after," etc., etc. We guess that little old Sweden, in her efforts to promote entrance into tiie holy bonds of wedlock, won't be able to concoct anything more effective jthan this. Of course, there was what might be called "ulterior motive" in the marriage proposals b.v the lady and the court in this Smith case and we advise Sweden, if there's anything compulsory in her new law, not to keep the suburban brush cut off toq closely. Evasion is bound to become an art In any country which requires a fellow to stand still, unhitched, while being proposed to, regardless of the sincerity or necessities of the fair sex. A DESIKAHLK UKSUIT. If it should rain every day of tho week and if no visitors should come to see the exhibits the exposition would be far from having been given In vain. Its educational value to our own people is worth all the trouble and expense. Public spirit Is built on appreciation. Eocal pride is based on knowledge.

if it has no appreciation of its resources and opportunities. South Bend people cannot view the varied exhibit of industrial and agricultural products without feeling the stir of local pride nor without the feeling that here is something extraordinary, something the world at large should know about and which should be made available to all who might desire it. Behind the exhibit is the spirit of progress and it is desirable that every man. woman and child in South Bend should become imbued with it. Knowing what we have anil do here strengthens our faith in our city and gives us more courage to recommend it to others. If the first fall exposition serves this purpose it is a liberal compensation for what has been done. It will give us that complete harmony of action and the force and impetus necessary to successful competition with rival cities. The chairman or the New York reform commission. Thomas Mott Osborne, is serving his self-imposed sentence in Auburn prison. He spent his first day hauling coal and weaving baskets. He is getting at first hand the information the outside world j needs to form an Intelligent estimate of the merit of our prison system. . The tariff bill is held up by Cong. Ilainey of Illinois as a triumph of democracy. Regardless of its merits it is at least a fulfillment of democratic pledges. Concrete roads, such as those built in the vicinity of Detroit, are finding much favor with delegates to the, good reads congress. Trior to his departure for South America. Col. Roosevelt will dine with some 2.000 of his admirers. Following the dinner something may be said as to what may happen On the colonel's return. The rumor that Champ Clark will; be a candidate for president in 1316 lacks confirmation and as time passes will probably become more remote from affirmation. Eventually we are likely io" find that there are more tax-paying incomes than are at llrst apparent. As we have frequently remarked, capital is timid. Cur distinguished patients. Sen. Lodge.

Helen tried hard to feel that when; the baby was laid in her arms. But! somehow she couldn't, fler strongest1 feeling was one of uneasiness, of a ; nervous fear of hurting It. She could; find no way of holding it comfortably, j However she placed it, it would; manage to riggle into some other po- i sition. She was afraid to sleep when! it was beside her for fear she would turn over on it. She "had horrible ! visions of waking up and finding it smothered to death. It was so, little, there seemed no way to keep it covered, and yet keep its head out so it could breathe. She was glad the, room was kept dim. She didn't want to see it again now. She had looked at it once and it had been so red and wrinkled that her feelings had been almost one of repulsion. She had told herself that it was a most unnatural and unmotherly feeling, but that had not changed it. Dream and Keallty. Her dream pictures had been of a golden-haired, blue-eyed baby the kind one sees on calendars and infant food advertisements. But this was very different. There wasn't any hair at all. and its eyes were so squinted that their color couldn't be told. After the first look, sho had turned her face to the wall with a faint request to the nurse to take it away. The nurse had tried to assure her that all very new babies looked like that, that it took several weeks before they were ever pretty. And then Helen asked if Warren had seen it. And when she was told he hadn't she asked them to keep it from him until it looked a little "different". For some reason she felt it was her fault, that Its unattractiveness was a personal reflection on her. She wondered if she could ever grow to love it if it should always be ugly. The possibility of having a homely child had never occurred to her, so certain had she been that her baby would be so beautiful. And now Mother Thoughts. Probably after a while, it wouldn't be so red and wrinkled, but its mouth had seemed so large. Could time change those things? From that one glimpse, deep in her heart, she could not believe that time would make it a beautiful child. If it. had been a boy, it's looks wouldn't have mattered so much, just so it was big and strong. But an ugly little girl! The thoughts made her sick at heart. And then she thought of all the dainty little clothes she had made lacey gowns with blue ribbon. Blue ribbons on that crimson baby! Nurse don't use- any of those little dresses that have blue ribbons. I don't think blue would be very becoming to it now! The nurse promised, repressing a smile. 'An Fglv Little Girl." And then again she turned her face plan how she would dress it if it were always the ugly little girl! At least she would have the judgment to dress it plainly, to make it as inconspicuous as possible. She had always thought it ridiculous to see ugly little children dressed up in all sorts of frills and furbelows. And then she thought of the family reunions and dinner at Warren's father's, when Carrie (Warren's sister) would bring her three beautiful children! And she had looked forward so proudly to taking her own beautiful baby; and now and now she would have to take an ugly little girl! Why should Carrie have lovely children. If she could not?. Carrie's husband was nearly as good looking as Warr n. And Carrie hersolt at times she was almost plain. "Nurse." she call, faintly, "bring me a hand glass." The nurse hurried to the bed. "Why, you don't want a hand glas now. do you? You're not well enough " "I want a hand glass and T want to have that biind raised by the bed so that I can see." There was something in her voice that made the nurse think it would excite her less to humor her than to refuse, so she brought the glass. Helen held it up before her face nnd examined each feature more critically than she had ever examined them before. Was she the cause of baby's homeliness? Warren's regular, cleancut features were unquestioned and hers? She had always thought her features were good: she had always been JIL'V.. SljL tlJ jrx.ll,li'C lV V. (lU. vri 41' 4 licit (1 J l 1 her coloring. Mip remembered now that she never took very good pictures, and after all, pictures were the test of one's features. Her mouth she had never thought it large before, but now. when she thought of the pictures and the baby's mouth and the baby's mouth Disillusion. She let the glass fall to the floor, hid her face in the pillow and burst Into tears. The nurse bent over her In alarm. "Mrs. Curtis! Mrs. Curtis you mustn't cry like that! You'll start your fever again. And just because you look a little thin and pale! "Why. you'll be yourself in a week or so, if you don't make yourself sick again now." "Oh. no, no. it isn't because I'm thin or pale," sobbed Helen. "It's because the baby's s ugly, and it doesn't look like Warren, so it must look like me!" The nurse h-u a sense of humor, and in spite of her anxiety for her patient, she could not help smiling. But when Helen sobbed on and would not be comforted, she became Impatient and alarmed. Warren had just come in. his face full of anxiety. "She's taken some absurd idea Ufut the baby's ugly." the nurse whispered hurriedly, "and that it resembles her. I can't do anything ,vith her: see if von can. She mustn't cry like that, it will send her fever up again." Warren sat down on the edge of the bed and put his arm about her. "You foolish little mother, don't

Sometime citizen of San Francisco, the wrinkle-faced, sad-eyed old man is now a wanderer on the face of the earth, doomed to walk the highways of the world, -in sun or rain of summer, in snow or cold of winter, while earthly time shall' last for him.

He could not cut time or space by means of a Twentieth Century limited. He cannot ride; he must walk! Even the night time cannot afford him more than partial surcease from his daytime woes. "I cannot sleep more than four hours at a time, and I do not require an alarm dock to tell me when it is time to move," Hoffman asserts, grimly. This strangely afflicted men arrived in Pittsburgh the other day from New York city. 11 was bound westward for no better reason than because in far-off San Francisco are his mem'ories and associations of a happier time, and he must walk. He had walked to New York to visit a sister. From the Pacific coast he will walk eastward because he must walk, walk. walk. At the time of the San Francisco fire Hoffman owned a machine shop in the stricken city. All of the members of pis family, save himself, lost their lives and his business was destroyed. Hoffman was terribly injured about the hips. After two years of treatment in the hospital he was sent forth, his hips supported by silver hoops.
