RAM.oi; for c;ovi;rnor, A new frrtar h:ts arisen in the gubernatorial horizon incident to the present pension of the legislature. It Is Sen. OtU Li. Ballon of Lagrange. Hen. Ballou i-j ho of -tron democratic leotioMS Sv'ch as recently impelled him to otc against the Bell board of T.nance bill in the senate, for which he was disciplined by the IndianapoloL':mo state organization hosts, but disciplined, perhaps to their detriment, and for the governor's chair. The next governor bids fair to come from the north end of the state. If the democratic party fails to keep its platform pledges by enacting an honest-working primary law at tins t-ession, or otherwise, it will bo sore in need of a man to head its ticket in that at least did his best to bring about the fulfilment of those pledges, and mention of Hen. Ballou teems to have gone a long way toward tolving the problem already, as he is leported as being discussed about the fctato house. As the situation now stand., with inklings from the capltol serving as evidence, the democratic state organization has a candidate for governor in tho person of ex-Auditor William H. O'Brien. Gov. Italston has a candidate In Judge Duncan, head of the Indiana public service commission. What might be called the Tom Marshall democrats are said to be saying nice things in favor of Charles A. Ircathouse, superintendent of public instruction. These men seem all pretty well opposed to everything of importance that the democratic party

stood for In the campaign last fall. Sen. Ballou can go before the people, as his record in the senate now stands, with at least the assurance that he tried to get the party to do as it had promised to do. instead of trying to get it not to do It. lie might be counted then as the honest-to-good-nes., word-keeping democrat of the state. ' ' Otis Lincoln Ballou s a New Yorker, born in Providence, Saratoga county, approximately sixty years ago. In later years he taught school at Ashtabula, Ohio, and at Lagrange, his present home, where he studied law and at one time served'as judge of tho Iagrange circuit court. He has taken i large interest in educational matters all his life. Ho is ono of a few men with whom you can come in contact, who as he accumulates years, finds it possible to keep abreast of newthought and concur in progressive movements calculated to reform the methods of his former days. The idea that what has been must always be, and cannot admit of change, appears to have no p:ve in his philosophy. Even though a lawyer of sufficient age that one not knowing him might anticipate him us a lawyer of the old school, he seems young enough even to doubt the everlasting eilieaey of our state constitution, and is one of the authors of tho HallouJones bill calling for another chance, and this time a fair one, for tho people to decide on whether or not there

shall be held a constitutional convention. Which, of course, precludes any possibility of Sen. Ballou finding his pathway, hading even to the nomination, strewn with roses. The Indiana democracy, from some legislative indications, is trying awful hard to keep pace with tbe republican party In its tendencies toward the reactionary. One might almost presume that the contest of the future Is to be. which one of the two old parties is able to lead In a hasty retreat. even back past all semblance of democracy or republicanism, to a certain aristocracy if not an absolute monarchy. Jt was on this point that Sen. Ballon broke with the Biilanapolo-Demo organization to cast his vote against what has been referred to in this column before as the Bell kingship bill. He is not an adocate of partisan disintegration, but regards organization as calculated to rerve the party for the fulfilment of its principles, rather than to defeat them, and to .verve the people rather than private ends. It is only natural, therefore, that the heart and soul democrats, believing in the sovereignty of the indiv.'dual. in fact as well as theory, .should have taken to casting about for a leader in these last days of tho tiOth assembly. The growth of the Ballou boom, if it should grow, will be watched with interest, and even if It should proe a mere tmbMe. it is significant of tho democratic thought, as it is dUidlng itself into warring factions about the state house to witness the passing of the r.l." legislative show. why i 'arm .ions ;i) m:;;iN(; According to Chicago's superintendent of public welfare, farmers are offering transportation and in some cases board and washing, but a great many of the unemployed refuse to ko to the farms. The previous. week i.Ou men visited the o:!u e and demanded -worl: of any kind, yet 1CM jobs on farms ure not tab n up. Tho reason commonly assigned why ir.cn aro not willing to move out of larjo cities and tuke farm Jobs, is that

they dislike to give up th stir and life of the cities. The dark and 'still country without pictures shows and electric lights, seems lonely and boresome. But perhaps many of these men are too indolent for the hard labor of the farms, or are physically too weak, or feel that they are. A man who had always lived a rather idle life once remarked that he had rather suffer severe pain than work with his hands. This man had inherited a little farm whose fields were weedy, its buildings lacked shingling and painting, fences were down. He was fond of reading poetry and philosophy, but there were rumors that his family did not get enough to eat. The hard lot of such men is not generally regarded as being as pa

thetic as they seem to think. j

Many of the unemployed look as if they were victims of drugs or liquor. They are looking for soft jobs not calling for muscle. The best way to show sympathy In such cases is to take steps to prevent the new generation from acquiring the same habits. If a man is practically sure of regular employment as soon as general business starts up, it might be foolish to move out on a farm. Yet a few weeks of outdoor labor this spring following the plough and exercising the spade might make a new man of him, and lead him to see new possibilities in life.

WASHINGTON. March 5. Con

gressman Patrick H. Kelley, who has i a. speaking acquaintance with mere men. women and children than any ,

other person in the state of Michigan, is a highly successful campaign orator. Ami his success in that dl-

i rection is due chieily to his knack at

making large figures entertaining. Kelley has a passion for figures. When he makes a speech he devotes at least half of it to hurling iigures and statistics, and mathematics against the rival party. Now, when the average man begins to quote figures the average member of his audience wishes to get up in a quiet, orderly manner and withdraw from the hall. But Kelley's system of oferi lg his statistics fascinates his listeners, one and all. Here is the way he does it: The moment he strikes a town wher he is to speak he begins to inquire about the cost of the biggest buildings there the opera nouse, the best hotel, and so on. Then when he starts to talk he'll bring in something like this: "My friends, the party of my opponent squandered last year on needless waterway improvements alone 1'0,000,OOU. Think of that! A thousand times as much as it cost to build your handsome new hotel up the street. Twenty million dollars! If all the sirloin steaks that you could buy with $20,000,000 were spread out Hat on the ground they would cover this entire township and leave enough steaks over to feed all the adults between the ages of 2 6 and HS in the

! state of Nevada, besides furnishing

hash for all the restaurants in a town the size of Peoria, 111." Then he goes on to tell how many automobiles are made in Michigan and how, if they were placed in a solid row, they would reach around the world except for a small strip out in the middle of the Pacific ocean which gap could easily be filled in with some other equally useful article made in Michigan. Thus he goes on and every time he speaks of the wanton extravagance of his opponents he visualizes the figures. Is it any wonder that the people go out of the hall at the close of Kelley's speech sadly shaking their heads and with no other idea than to vote for Kelley?

The man who remarked that liewas a whole encyclopedia txdiind the rest or the world said something.

Tin-: cost of i:Yi;;iiAssi:s. Many families felt as if they were being hit in a new place a few days ago. when it was announced that owing to the war the cost of lenses for eyeglasses had increased from 113 to ."0 per c ent. But this may not affect the price of the completed glasses much, as the cost is largely in labor. It is to be hoped that this is the case, as the providing of suitable eyeglasses and spectacles is a very considerable burden on many families. Wearing spectacles was formerly a sign of advanced age. If old people felt their eyes falling, they were apt to buy of peddlers. They would try on various pairs of spectacles, until they found one that seemed to make their ryes feel better, and buy them on the spot for a dime or a quarter. Today it is generally recognized that weak eyes need careful examination and measurement by skilled oculists or opticians, and high prices are often paid by people whose eyes are at all complicated. Probably a third of the children are now either wearing spectacles or ought to have them. It is quite a responsibility for a youngster to start out with a pair of spectacles that cost his father several dollars. If tho little fellow keeps them on while playing rough games, he is almost sure to get the glasses broken. In that caso a fragment of glass may lodge in an eye and destroy sight. But if the little fellow takes them off and puts them in the case in his pocket, the first time he rolls over in a rough and tumble, the optical outfit is converted Into pancake. It is a bill of expense that our grandfathers never knew, but often inevitable if one is to give ones children the best modern care. Poor eyes are. such a serious handicap that parents who can afford it grunt and settle the bills without question.

Sen. Burleigh of Maine applied to a recruiting oiiice one morning back in Civil war days and expressed a desire to be a soldier. The examining physician rejec ted him on the ground that he had a trick heart. "I wish you'd let me in," coaxed Burleigh. "My heart may act funny, but I'll bet you I live a great many years yet." Nearly half a century later. Burleigh, true to his word, was still living, and as a member of congress got a pension of $"0 a month for that same doctor.

Sec'y Bryan was called on by two of his associates at the state department to settle a dispute about the place where a certain great man is buried. "Oil, gentlemen," admonished Bryan, "why waste time disputing over a thing so inconsequential as whore a man is buried. Now, I've been buried several times, but what of that?"

Sometimes cns. Ilollis of New Hampshire and Dillingham of Vermont will sit and fuss good-naturedly for half an houi at a time over the question" whether Vermont or New Hampshire is entitled to he known as the Granite stdte. For an entry in the nothing-to-f uss-about competition, this proposition commends itself about as well as anything we can think of unless it would be the question of who is the world's greatest trombone player.

SOMEBODY has said the days of oratory belong to the past, but we are not convinced. Recurring examples cause us to lean to the contrary. Mannerisms and styles may have changed since the time when oratory is supposed to have expired, but tho effects remain undiminished. Civic righteousness, national patriotism and individual character are still the dominant themes. Wherein is oratory dead or even decadent? ON the contrary oratory is becoming a more common accomplishment. The learned professions no longer have a monopoly of it. The tradesman and the mechanic have taken places along side the professor of law, the ecclesiastic and the expounder of international doctrines. Thought and expression may run in less circuitous channels, but the glamour of words and the power of illustration have not lost their force and effect. AND the reason is simple. The individual is doing his own thinking. Wc Arc Strong For Him. Td. M. P.: "Tobacco users," declares a friend of mine who loves the weed, "are doubtless open to the charge of entertaining a habit that is more or less wasteful, andif Indulged to excess may become harmful; but who can estimate the tranquilizing effect of the cigar or pipe? Smoking smoothes out the wrinkles of care, tends to philosophic thinking, restrains rage nd erratic tendencies, composes differences, and makes for sociability, peace and quietness." He insists that to class tobacco with rum is idiocy pure and simple. What do you think? Is he right? S. SOMETIME we are going to give our smoking experience. It has humorous and pathetic phases one unused to the habit would not suspect. We almost carried it into tragedy, and most smokers will agree that element is not lacking. But the time is not yet. The Halliii' of Jack. "Ballin' the Jack. (as we heard it.) First she said to him, "You are a big cheap skate," Then she said, "Your actions, on me thev surely grate; With me, you great big bluffer, you'll never have a date." Next she hit him on the head with all her m'ght, Then she hit him with a Rock that wasn't light. Telling him to -hurry out and don't come back." Now that's what I call. "Ballin' OUT Jack." C. WHAT has become of the old fashioned silver watch that kept such good time the year round? "WHAT," writes J. L. P., "did you tell the fellow who asked you howmuch longer the war is going to last?" We told him to gotoell. It Jiibt Re lVtc Hlne. (Cor. North Judson News.) A San Pierre kid whose name we need not mention, came home last night too late for supper and his mama gave him a sound scolding saying he had no excuse or cause for being out so late. "Now Ma, listen, 'me and Dr. Solt took a spin up the coun

try to see a 'sick Dutchman' who had a different kind of stomachache, and Dr. kept 'joshln him until he went to sleep. Now listen Ma, and then Doc cut a hole in the feller and took out hij 'suspendrix or something, and then Doc 'sowed the hole up again and said we would wait until the feller waked up and we did and then beat it for home. And now if that a'int 'excuse enuf my name a'int Pete Hinc." "IT is said," muses E. G. "that tact is the brother of silence rather than of truth, and if that is the case I wonder what relation it s to the fellow who is neither silent nor truthful. THERE isn't much difference between writing up football and war news now. We might read, "Eichtnlaub gains ten yards," or "The French trenches are pushed back two yards," a different kind of a fight, that's all. F. Remember This? When a felon's not engaged in his employment Of maturing his felonious little plans His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any honest man's. Our feelings we with difficulty smother When constabulary duty's to be done; Ah, take one consideration with another A policeman's lot is not a happy one. When the enterprising burglar's not a-burgling When the cut-throat isn't occupied ' in crime. He loves to hear the little brook agurgling, And listen to the merry village chime. When the coster's finished jumping on his mother. He loves to lie a-basking in the sun. Ah, take one consideration with another The policeman's lot is not a happy one. ONE of the employes of the show pronounced it "Sarry," and he should know. Potiourri of Spring. The pussy willows are now about to pussy The dandelion is showing yellow spots. The blue birds are calling at a distance And the lollypops arc lolling in their pots. You must admit the groundhog is a lady. Or a gentleman, as the case may be Though March may yet become a roaring lion There's a robin singing in our apple tree. Sassafras is being; served at all the functions, And, believe us. it makes a dandy tea. To keep your liver well in action In this land of the bravest and the free.

Temptation

Men who have led armies to victory have themselves been led on a run to hell by weakly surrendering to appetities. It seems easier to fight others than to battle with personal weaknesses. Conquerors all men of big action merely arouse envy, while he -who is self-conquered is truly loved, and more than the love of others is the greater reward of self-respect What does this talk do for the poor devil who is sunken in his vices? Nothing. But surely it makes this apparent: That all men must fight their own battles, and that Temptation is simply a word to the man who governs his impulses.

Men expect much of the topplace tire. They look for a supertire in it Any seeming fault, due to mishep or misuse, becomes a defect in this glare. But Goodyear Fortified Tires, after years in this light, hold higher place than ever. Last year men bought 1.479.883 Goodyears ol the pleasure-car type alone.
