He receives much lasting praise that
in his county, as in other counties over
the state, thousands and thousands Of
dollars were saved the taxpayers by
his unearthing of the notorious Pol
lard school furniture swindles. These
he followed up with vigorous prosecu-
lions, which gave him reputation,
which has ever stayed with him, of
cool-headed and conservative aggres-
siveness.
From exposure and close application
to his books, he became seriously and
dangerously afflicted. and for two
years his friends believed that he was
doomed to become totally blind. 1t
was under these trying circumstances
that he was admitted to the Fountain
county bar and began the practice of
law in 1887 He was unable to see
word, and it was here his good wife
came to his rescue, reading to him all
the law he got, in court and out. 1t
was this determined effort, along with
a cheerful disposition and personal
magnetism that brought him prac-
tice, which has ever since continued to
grow until he is now one of the most
successful practitioners of the state,
with this same good, faithful wife a
close student at his side.
In 1890 he was elected prosecuting
attorney for the Twenty-frst judicial
circuit, and through the two terms he
served he made one of the best prose
cutors that district ever had. He
moved to Muncie twelve years ago,
and has been highly successful in his
legal practice there. He is a clear
thinker, and pleasing and convinc-
ing speaker, and will if elected next
November make strong and able Of
fetal to look after the large amount
of work and trying duties that deyolve
upon the attorney general of this
state.

Another long tour of inspection
is being made today by Mr.. A. f.
Kngrps, in company with Chicago's
chief educators. The purpose of the
work, is in line with that mentioned
last week
Prominent educators all over the
country realize that there is a great
lack In the system of high school
training now afforded the growing
generation. And in building our
Dream City, this problem, like all
other municipal problems has doomed
up, and it is the determination of
the men who are building, that this
Steel Metropolis shall have the best
that the mind of man has devised for
the training of her children.
The visits planned to the Manuel
Training and ShorAidge High School
at Indianapolis are but a beginning
A visit will be paid to the one at
Menominee. Mich, where they have
one of the best in the country.
But aside from the higher branches
the child is to be given the best of
training that expert Undergraduates
and grade teachers can give. This
will mean that the children living
with us shall have a training that
will equip them far better than the
schools now called the best, can do ,
1t means that they who are to do the
work of tomorrow are to be trained
so that it will be done in the best
possible way; that they will have
every advantage that should be af-
forded the child of today.

JAMES BINGHAM.
One of the Foremost Lawyers Of the
State, Candidate for Attorney
General.

James Bingham CT Muncie, the Re
publican nominee for Attorney Gen
eral, is recognized as one of the ener.
getic, hardworking. capable and sue
cessful lawyers of Indiana.
He was born in Fountain county.
March IS, 1861. and spent the first
fifteen years Of his life on the farm,
in the saw-mill and at work upon the
railroad, toiling to secure the means
to educate himself Later he taught
in the district schools, and at the early
age of twenty-five had qualified him
self for the position and was elected
county superintendent OF his native
county for two successive terms. His
work at that day was marked by the
same energy and faithfulness which
characterizes his efforts at this time.

EAGLES IN BATTLE.
The Daring and Skill of These Fierce
Birds of Prey.

Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in the
habit Of attacking large animals, but
a contest witnessed by an observer dis
pels such a theory. The battle was
between an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from Il herd one
particular buck, which it succeeded in
driving from the rest. 1t struck the
animal with its powerful wings, knock
ed it down and finally killed it. A still
more remarkable spectacle is well au-
thenticated An eagle attacked a
fawn in the highlands of Scotland.
The cries of the little one were an
swered by its dam, which sprang upon
the eagle and struck it repeatedly with
It's forefeet Fawn, deer ami eagle
rolled down a declivity, the bird was
dislodged from its hold and the fawn
rescued
Many traditions are eXtant as to the
carrying off of children by eagles The
most recent case bearing close scru-
tiny is one which happened in South
Africa. A Boer farmer whose stock
had been harried by eagles lay in am
bush for the robbers and saw one of
them descend and carry off the five
year-old child of one of the Kaffir serv-
ants. He shot the bird, which, with
the child still clutched in its grip, fell
into thorn bush. The bird was dead,
but the child was little hurt
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert. While one conceals itself the
other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out its quarry
for the hidden eagle to swoop down
upon. An even more insidious method
has been observed. An eagle seeing a
sheep on the edge of a precipice flew
at it, screaming shrilly and with force
full beat of wing hurled it into the val
ley below, where it could devour it at
its leisure. In the light of such rec
ords there is good reason for believing
the legend Of the eagle dropping a tor
toise on the bald head of Eschylus,
the Greek poet, and so causing his
death.

DUSTLESS PAVEMENTS

Did it ever occur to you folks back
there in Hammond what dusty set
of streets you really have2 Well the
men who are planning our city have
taken that very condition into con-
sideration. There are to be no ma
eadam pavements whatever in Gary.
Every street is to be paved with
brick, or with granitoid blocks. Ex-
periments now being made in Chicago
are being watched closely so to gain
an idea as to the durability and value
of the latter method. It is said to
be superb for paving, and if it pro-
yes what its promoters claim for it,
our streets will be covered with it.

The Dav After.

Fortunately yesterday passed in this city
without any serious accident to mar the
occasion. The hospitals did a slightly
larger business than on other days of the
year in the treatment OF burns and
wounds. but none of them was serious and
the record of casualties was smaller than
in former years. The comparative Inn
munity from disaster encourages the hope
that there is turning OF the tide and that

making method win eventually become
"safe and sane.
1t cannot be doubted that the frightful
example OF maimings and killings caused In
the past by giant crackers. toy cannons and
toy pistols has had Its deterrent effect

country have been diligent In holding forth
the risk TO the youth Of the land In the

an incpportune time from one point of view
for closing up Mr.. Taggart's gambling
Joint in Indiana. A campaign is APP
preaching in which money contributions
will be welcomed by both sides, and Mr..
Taggarts income without the French Lick

not be embarrassed by the news of the
episode. Mr.. Taggarts connection with
the joint has never been concealed by
him 1t was known when he was elected
chairman Of the democratic national COM
mittee, and condou&d by his party friends
He was probably unwise not to sever
his connection with the concern at that
time. for his new honor should have car
ried with it both responsibility and dignity
1t remains to be seen what effect the affair
will have on the political situation in In
diana, where Mr.. Taggart is a democratic
leader.

School Board and Superintendent.

In making haste in it's work of organiza-
ton the new school board will probably
find that the best results will flow from de-
alteration. The most important Item now
before it is the selection of a superintendent
of schools This officer will have under the
new statute greater degree of power than
any previous incumbent of the office. He
will be to a greater extent the educational
expert, and viii be charged with the primal
responsibility of selecting the entire execu-
tive and teaching staff. The board, after
choosing him. will sit as a semi-legislative
body supervising the expenditure of funds
and exercising a superior jurisdiction over
the superintendent only in matters that lie
outside of the pedagogic function.
In these circumstances, the utmost care
should he exercised in selecting the super
intendeut 1t may be that the present SUI
perintendent is best qualified to fill this po-
sition The board may decide, upon mature
reflection, that there is no man available
better fitted to assume this enlarged power.
The man on the ground is always naturally
the first 10 be considered. but 1t does not
follow that he is the only one. The field of
possibilities is wide and the conditions of
the District school system promise now to
be more attractive than in the past
After electing a superintendent the board
should resolve to stand squarely with
and behind him in all his works SO
lcng as II approves OF them. There should
be no friction between superintendent and
Board The moment the relations between
the crea tive body and the subordinate be-
cvme difficult leading TO embarrassments
and delays. those relations should cease.
The board makes. and it can unmake, ana
Il should upon occasion exercise this power
to remove any incumbent who fails 10
discharge his duties TO its full satisfaction.
Much Of the trouble of the past few years
has arisen from the lack of complete har-
Iuony between the board and the superin-
tendent and the schools have suffered
severely in consequence.

Pork" and Craftsmanship.

The Minneapolis Journal has Information
that the principal business OF a congress-
man is 10 get things for hts district. and
that his prominence and influence In shap-
ing national legislation is a matter OF COM
parative insigniheance"
As in the case of most generalizations
this is misleading. A senator or a repre-
sentative need not give his whole thought
10 his people, but ne cannot afford to neg
lect them. 1t is his duty. as well as TO hts
personal advantage. TO see that they are
well served In all the matters In which
they are directly interested. At the same
time he increases his power to do this by
the breadth OF view and activity he ex-

Tammanv in Patriotic Mood.

Tammany. we are told, found it impossi-
bic this time to get speakers of national
consequence for its patriotic celebration
Prominent democrats were shy. They knew
the local situation. and did not care to
take the risk of slip of the tongue. Tne
occasion of course was for generaliza tons,
but when a ready speaker gets INTO his
stride and finds the crowd responsive he
sometimes runs away. What he had pre-
pared to say gives place to what he feels
his audience wants to hear.
These celebrations at Tammany Hall have
more than once attracted democrats of
great talents and influence. But no great
speech was ever delivered there, nor was
any great reputation ever founded there.
THE place. and all around it, are sordid.
and uninspiring to men of the higher grade.
Some such have gone there when 1t seemed
possible to help the party in national
contest. but there was never evidence that
they enjoyed themselves. Tammany, al
though useful to the party, is not beloved by
it. 1t hardly seems likely that 1t ever will
be. How can it be? How can an organiza-
ton tarred with SO many dirty sticks ap-
peal successfully to democrats of pride and
character who are not under the local in
fiuenCe?
such men. Tamrnany and Mr. Hearst are at
outs, and Tammany itself is divided. There
has never -efore been presented. even in
New York, SO complicated and offensive
political mess. Tammany the hope OF
good government against any menace is so
novel a proposition that most men smile
when 1t is presented. In fact Mr.. Hearst
has gained, and is gaining, in New York
and elsewhere by reason of the Tammany
ties who are opposing him. People find 1t
impossible to believe the evil things said of
him. or the dangers predicted from his in
fiuence, when they consider the sort of men
who are in the van of the opposition. They
argue that Il Hearstism really stood for
loot and license, Tammany would be solidly
at its back, an agency for its propagation
and firm establishment.
Tamnany waves the flag vigorously once
a year and listens to discourses about the
constitution and the fathers, and puts on an
air of seriousness and patriotism. Maybe
once year is often enough for such per-
formance by such a society. A large crowd
is entertained, but few are taken in, and by
the great majority. both at home and
abroad, the hullabaloo is rated at its true
figure AS Mr.. Bryan said on one occasion
probably little saroastically-great is
Tammany.
