The public does not care much for the
legal technicalities which are being woven
around the case OF the alleged detective.
James Smith alias Arthur Stahl. but 1t has
grasped the main fact that he was induced
20 come here from ST. Louis to engage in a
very dirty line of work. The detective
business Is honorable just in the degree
that it is confined to honorable objects
and methods. The employment Of detec-
tives to discover the perpetrators of crimes
known to have been committed is entirely
legitimate. but their employment to decoy
or seduce persons into the commission Of
crime Is very different Smith. alias Stahl,
and those who brought him here not to
uncover an old crime but to commit a new
one. may escape the penalty of the law
through technicalities, but they will not
escape a verdict of public censure.

THE DRIFT OF POLITICS.

There is at least one Republican in Indi-
ana who was not surprised at the sudden
change in Senator Hanna's attitude toward
the proposed Endorsement of President
Roosevelt by the Ohio Republicans Rep
resentative Charles B. Lands, Of Delphi.
who was at the Columbia Club last night,
said that the Hanna interview OF Tuesday
was nothing more than he had expected
II confess that / was great deal more
surprised at the first position taken by
Senator Hanna" said Mr.. Lands. Those
who know Senator Hanna we'll and have
been close to him during the last year
know that at no time has he thought of be-
coming a candidate for President and that
he has repeatedly expressed his intention
of supporting Roosevelt. Consequently I
was surprised when / learned that he was
opposing the proposed Endorsement of the
President at the state convention next
month. / think that in yielding he is real
ly following his own inclination as well a
bowling to the inevitable.
II have been in twelve different States
since the adjournment of Congress- con-
tinued Mr.. Lands, and have not heard a
Republican voice raised In opposition to
President Roosevelt's denomination and re-
election. The sentiment of the great masses
of Republicans could not be more unan-
imous on political proposition. 1 believe.
Indeed. the sentiment for the denomination
of President Mckinley was not more unan-
imous, so far as / have been able to OBJ
serve. President Roosevelt has a great
hold on the people and feel that ii is
foregone conclusion that he will be renom-
mated without opposition"
Representative Lands says that POLITICAL
ly the Ninth district is very quiet at pres
ent. When asked if he anticipated that he
would have a fight on his hands for renom-
ination next year. he replied that he had
heard of no prospective candidate against
him and was inclined to believe that he
would have a clear field. "And of course I
am not hunting trouble" he added, with a
laugh.
Several months ago Mr.. Lands was
spoken of as a probable candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor. but
that was at the time the Washington cor
respondents were bringing out new candi-
date from among the members OF the Indi-
ana congressional delegation every twenty
four hours. Mr.. Landis himself nipped the
boom in the bud Immediately upon his re-
turn home indicating that his political am

Beware of dust pneumonia,
1t turks upon the street.
Far better that you swiftly flee
The city's CRIME and heat.
But go not to the country side
Where blooms the blushing rose,
Because rose fever will attack
Your foolish eyes and nose.
And go not to the mountains nigh,
For IL you take the trip
The chances are you'll run across
The fierce microbe of grip.
Nor seek the ever-sighing sea,
Where bold mosquitoes lurk
And with bacillus-laden bills
Get in their deadly work.

With wise advice abound
To dodge the grave we yet may have
To burrow underground.
