SYMBOL OF
GREATER HAMMOND.

equality. Lord Chatham boosted that
under the constitution of England
every mans house was his castle how
ever humble it might be- that the wind
and the rain might enter it, but the
king dared not do so.
Each Citizen Equal of Others.
This is a most inspiring principle
and 1T tends to elevate the character
and manhood of the people. The citizen
may have been unfortunate in his bust
ness relations; he may not have adj
vanced socially to the height of his
ambition; he may even be an outcast
and yet he has the consciousness of
knowing that before the law he is the
equal of every other citizen of the
republic, and that he has a certain
latitude of individual rights and liber-
ties that no power in the government
can take from him"
Our government is said to be dual in
form, composed of the federal govern
ment and the forty five several states,
each being supreme within its own
sphere. The states have no authority
to assume functions and powers that
are conferred upon the federal govern
ment and on the other hand the federal
government has no right to invade
the constitutional rights and privileges
of the states. The distribution of poll
teal power has been the wonder and
admiration of students of political
science throughout the world. The
equilibrium IN the main has been nicely
balanced and each government has ex-
ercised in harmony with the other all
those attributes of sovereignty that
justly belong to it. There is manifest
in the politics Of this day a disposition
upon the part Of many people to en-
large the powers of the federal govern
ment to practically obliterate state
lines and reduce the states to a condt-
ton of political dependencies"
Tendency Toward Capitalization.
The tendency towards contradiction
seems to be almost as resistless as the
i tides Of the sea. There is a mysterious
sancttity given to federal power and
many people go at once 10 Congress of
/ tho United States to remedy all the
evils that prevail. The federal gov
eminent has exclusive control OF all
! general Questions-Question that can
not be successfully handled by the re-
spectiye states, and the state govern
ments have equal exclusive authority
over all local questions and neither
government has the right TO encroach
upon the just power Of the other The
danger Of Capitalization is that II
carries government and administration
too far from the people and It tends
toward extravaganza and corruption"
TT is the true policy Of our govern
ment TO have all matters of Legislation
and administration conducted as close
to the people as is consistent with the
/ general welfare. There is a great funt
Of wise philosophy back of this policy
Taxes levied and expended under tbs
vigilance of the tax payers are wisely

H1rCHCOCK's TRIP SOUTH
Not Directed by the President-Talked
Some Politics, However

Washington, April %. - First AS
sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock
has returned from the south, where he
has been for the past week, primarily
on an inspection tour of the southern
postoffices. Hitchcock said he had just
learned that his trip had been given a
political significance in newspapers in
the north, in which the statement ap-
peared that he was on a mission for
the president to ascertain first hand re-
garding any new direction in the Re-
publican sentiment in the south.
Hitchcock denied with emphasis
that President Roosevelt directed his
movements. 1T is true" he continued
that while my trip was partially one
of inspection-and one which I had
planned months ago-I discussed noli-

THREE MEN OF WISDOM
They All Differ on the Best Way to
Curb the Trusts.


Chippewa Falls, Wis, April %. -
Representative Jenkins, chairman OF
the judiciary committee of the house
of representatives in a statement crit
cises W. J. Bryan and Senator Bev.
eridge on their recent published plans
Of curbing trusts. He says Bryan's
idea Of national Incorporation and
Beveridge's national publicity idea
could not be enacted into law because
the acts would be unconstitutional.
Congress has no power to create a
corporation, therefore it cannot amend
corporation articles or interfere with
corporate affairs that are private in
their nature" said Representative
Jenkins.

A small boy will find infinite delight
in hammering tacks into a block Of
soft wood. When one end is full he
can turn 1t over and drive in more at
the other, and so on, further employ
ment being found in taking them out
again, says Woman Life. Small tacks,
soft wood and a very fight hammer, Of
course, are necessary.

Than a Man Just Now.
REFERS TO THE FIGHT OF 1908
But Thinks Roosevelt's Plain Duty
Is to Run Again
Speaker Cannon Punctures a Specials
Pipe Dream-Does Not Carry
the Illinois Vote in
His Pocket.

Des Moines, Ia, April %. = In q
letter addressed to George E. Bowers
Of Orange, Ia, a prominent Republican
editor, Governor Cummins declares
that President Roosevelt should with
draw his statement that he will not
accept a denomination. The letter was
written in response to an inquiry con.
corning presidential politics, and It's
important statements follows: THE
is a great deal being said and a great
deal being written with regard to the
candidate for president, but it is vastly
more important that we succeed in
announcing a platform that will be ex-
pressive of our purposes than it is now
to determine who the candidate shall
be. Personally l believe that President
Roosevelt's plain duty is to withdraw
his former statement, and to say that
under the demand now made, and the
evident state Of the public mind. he
will accept another nomination if 1T is
rendered to him with practically
unamity.
Surprise for Speaker Cannon.
Washington, April %. - Speaker
Cannon, who has arrived at Wash
ingtOn from the west, was surprised
to hear that he had made an agree
ment to deliver the Illinois delegation
Mt the Republican. national convention
to Vice President Fairbanks. He said:
1.-THE first l knew of such a meeting
was on my journey to Washington
this morning, when 1 received the
Washington papers. l do not know
what enterprising correspondent sent
that dispatch. l believe, however, that
some had orders during this dull sea-
son to furnish something for the pa
pers. No such conference was held or
thought Of at any time.
Would Draw the FOOLS Prize.
Our people in Illinois are exceed
ingly busy attending to the ordinary
affairs OF life. Some time during the
latter part of next winter or spring,
no doubt, the Republicans of Illinois
will select a delegation to the national
convention, but no attention, so far rs
I an informed and believe, is being
paid to the matter at this time. We
, are not in the habit of crossing a
stream almost twelve months off be
fore we get to it. 1t would be a bold
man who would agree to deliver the
Illinois delegation to anybody, and any
one in public life not only would be &
bold man who would so agree, but he
would draw a prize, if one were of
| fered, for being a foolish man.

chance to try out their squads
At Franklin, Ind. yesterday, DePauw
University won the first game Of their

Both the local teams were given a
slight jolt yesterday, the Cubs getting
theirs from the Reds, and the Sox hit
ting a snag in the shape Of Lajoies
bunch Of cripples al Cleveland. The
Cincinnati team waited a long time for
yesterdays chance and the echoes of
the singles and two-base hits they
pounded out off Taylor and Durbin,
still resound on the West Side. La
joie's snag let the Sox down easy at a
tune Of two to one in a close game.
Nick Altrock pitched well enough to
win most any game but the Maps
punched their hits in the fifth and made
enough runs to hold the lead through
out McGraw's troublemakers got the
bad end of the deal also at Phila-
delphia and passed down the line still
further in the standing of the league.
The Sox by losing yesterdays game
dropped into fourth place.

Although Ban Johnson declares that
there will be no more winter games
after this year, the Chicago fans can
see no cause for any. such announce

opening games at the West Side
grounds were not all that could be de-

figures fully warrant the throwing
open of the gates TO the hungry rooter
The weather man was a trihe more
generous to the South Side aggrega-

on Comiskey's face. Other cities suf-
fered from raw weather and spring
rains. but managed to get in a few
games in the early season.
