Faithful to His Captain.

That was a loyal if not very gen.
tie answer once made by a private
soldier to Frederick the Great of
Prussia. During campaign in
Silesia the king made it his habit to
stroll through his camp in disguise
at night, to come into closer rela-
tions with his soldiers. One night
he was stopped by sentry, but,
giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead of
doing so, however, he endeavored
to tempt the sentry into accepting
a cigar, saying that smoke would
solace his long watch.
'1t is against the rules" said the
soldier.
But you have my permission"
said Frederick.
"Your permission~ cried the sol
der. "And who are you?"
81 am the king"
"The king be hangedw said the
incorruptible sentry "What would
my captain say 2"

What Is a Party.
LohIo slnle onrnnI.nenuhlIcnnl

ohio state Journal Republican,
The attitude of Theodore b.
Burton, at the Cuyahoga conven-
tion, will commend itself to the
people, who desire fair, honorable,
and bossless politics. Ills constit-
uent support him with enthusiasm
'rhey know the man. They know
him to be man OF courage, SINGER
ity, unselfisIlneSs and patriotic
purpose. He represents the new
and better politics, which knows
no boss nor worships any political
ngnate.
rhe supremacy in political
pl.ty of mere dispenser of official
patronage drags that party down.
1t then becomes a party of de-
pendence, and not of independence
Any man who opens his eyes to the
situation will see that Mr.. Dick
depends for his support mainly
upon men who are in some way be-
holden to him, and who have time
to organize the machine, while
other tried and true Republicans
are attending to their business
affairs.
Mr.. Burton takes the ground
that federal office-holders should
keep their hands off of state poll
tics, and not use the power which
the party has given them, to con.
troll it's destiny. Let the party
alone that it may haye free, inde-
pendent action to declare its doc
trine, to nominate it's candidates
and select it's leaders.
"Nine-tenths of liberty" goes
an old saying, sis in administra-
tion the way that liberty is ap-
piled. And thisis the question of |
the day, transcendlng all issues of
tariff, finance, merchant marine or |
any other matter of mere policy.
The way things are done has be-
come the imperial problem, and
the integrity Of the party will de-
pend upon how things are done in
the political arena and the public
service.
We cannot come any too soon to
the responsibility of the
hour. There is nothing that the
people generally detest as machine
politics, and when they feel that
this abuse is upon them, common
prudence would direct a speedy
alienation from all appearance of
evil.
Throwing aside all personal OBJ
lection or complaint, the belief of
the people that United States
senator should not be the chairman
IF the executive committee, puts
he retiring of Mr.. Dick upon a
natter Of prlncIple, which he and
lis friends, it they are wise, will
AXE advantage of. 1t is the only
way to satisfy Republicans that
heir party is not, more or less, j.,
Inder the ignoble sway of trucu-
ent public patronage.

FAILS TO GET THE NICKEL:
SAYS SHE IS MISTREATED.
c. D. Sehneeclaus, Shoemaker Fined
50 and Costs for Assault and
Battery, Appeals Case.

G. d. Schneeclaus a cobbIer who
has shop in sos Indiana avenue.
was fined 50 and costs by William A.
Jordan, justice of the peace, yester-
day. The charge of assault and bat
terry was brought by w. H. Meyers.
51O Indiana avenue, whose S-year-
old daughter, Pauline, claimed to
have been mistreated by the cobbIer
last Wednesday while she waited for
a pair Of shoes.
The strongest evidence given by
the girl showed that Schneeclaus
tried to caress her although the
cobbler denies that he as much as
put his hand on her. Instead of
paying the fine he appealed the case
to the superior court.
A Lake County Times reporter in
terviewed both Mr.. Schneeclaus and
Mrs. Meyers and of course the story
told by both were contrary to each
other Mrs. Meyers said her
daughter remained in the shop too
long time when she called for the
shoes and that when she returned
home she told the nurse girl of the
cobbler's actions towards her. The
mother was angered and went to see
Schneeclaus personally. The father
called on him yesterday morning and
suit.
The shoemaker Immediately re-
tanned a lawyer and this morning
told the following story:
The children in this neighbor-
hood have been accustomed to re-
ceiving small pieces of money from
me occasionally. The charge for
the little girls shoes last Wednesday
was 65 cents and she asked me to
give her a nickel. l refused to do
this but she kept on begging. II
promised her a penny if l could find
one, but failed. That was all there
was to it and she went home and told
her story of mistreatment." +"

shop in the city and, as far as can
be ascertained, a successful merch-

missing man just prior to his vanish

for South Chicago Wednesday even

Probably the last person in Whit

Hutter, bartender in the Goldsmith

as he stepped upon the train headed
Tor Chicago. Hutter has known
Recht for twelve years, the missing
man having worked for eight years

her parents every week, and it was
through them that Hammond peo-

sor left Hammond she was only a
school girl, but at different times
displayed superi Jr nerve. AS she
grew up she was employed at differ

the zoo there frequently, showing
an especial fondness for the more
feroeious animals. The animal
keeper learned to know her and be-

asked the keeper for a position which
would keep her around the wild ami

1t was odd work for Miss Wind
sor for long time until she read a

young ladies to appear on the next
