WILL NOT ASK FOR TOGA
President Could Not With
Propriety Criticise Acts
of Successors.

Washington, D. c., Oct 25.-President
Roosevelt's determination not to be a
candidate for the United States Senate
to succeed Thomas c. Platt or Chauncey
M Depew was reached after much con-
sideration of the subject, according to
those who have heard from his own lips
the reason for that determination. Mr..
Roosevelt left no doubt that his deci-
sion applies not merely to the Senate
vacancies from New York State to be
created by the expiration of the official
terms Of Senators Plat and Depew, but
for all time.
In the Presidents opinion circum-
stances of propriety make it impossible
for any former incumbent of the Presi-
Dental Office to ever accept election tc
the United States senate.
1t is an error to suppose that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has indicated that If Mr.
Taft is elected to succeed him in tbs
white house he will make an exception
to his decision not to be a candidate
for the senate.
On the contrary, Mr.. Roosevelt ha
specifically let it be known that even II
the circumstance of Mr.. Taft's success
sion. Mr.. Roosevelt would still adher
to his determination to refuse election
to the upper house.
Mr.. Roosevelt holds that it is improp
err for any man who has served as pres
ident of the United States to criticize i
an official or public way the official act
of any other man who had occupied tn
presidential office. For example, al
though it is proper to say that the eX
ample is not Mr.. Roosevelt's, 1t Woul
be unfair and undignified for him
take Mr.. Cleveland to task for any off
cial act of Mr.. Cleveland done durin
the period when Mr.. Cleveland wa
president.

Marion, Ind, Oct. 25.-That women
know too much to get married, and
that they do not know enough to set
married are the opposing conclusions
arrived at by the Ebell society, well
known womans club Of this city.
The society emit Wednesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. c. c. Ballinger
and discussed these two subjects:
THE Bachelor Girr and Why Women
Do Not Marry"
1t was held that many girls have
high ideals of men that are shattered
when this fact is learned; that, while
a man must smoke, the remnants of
Havanna's perfume should not lingeT
on his mustache. Also, that. while
many men are handsome, few Of them
have the proper sense Of humor.
The girl, it was decided. who insisted
upon mental and physical qualifications
to match certain imaginary projections
must be disappointed. In other words
they said, the man who is kind anc
sympathetic and has gentle intonations
when addressing his wife does not al
WAYS possess sturdiness or the propel
taste in dress.
/ 1t was also judged a mistake for
miss to imagine that. after leavint
school. she could devote her whole at
tention to her ambitions, and find tn
man of her liking unmarried when sh
decided that the life Of the dust pa
and the kitchen range would be accept
able.

Editor of LAKE COUNTY TINES: AS a
citizen of East Chicago, permit me to
inform you that you are off when
writing about a change of name for
East Chicago, for nothing can be fur
Their from the minds of the citizens of
East Chicago than the parting with
its justly popular name. The East
Chicago Globe is right when, after
quoting your article, it advises you to
Guess Again, Brother" The citizens
of East Chicago are quite aware and
are very proud of the fact that they
have in its name "a pearl of great
price" So THE LAKE COUNTY TINES
need not worry about East Chicago
having any thought of changing It's
name.

VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE

Mr.. Editor:
I note that Mr.. E. z. Earl, chief
deputy fish and game commissioner,
states that six deputies are on duty in
the lake region in the northern part or
the state, where just now a number OF
people are enclined to hunt ducks in
violation of the law.
If the people of the state will sit up
and take notice they will find Mr.. Earl
will fill the state with deputies, whose
duties will be to procure delegates to
the next state convention, rather than
protect the fish and game of the state
Not the chain and the reasons for SO
doing. Mr.. Earl is chief deputy OF Mr.
Y T. Sweeney, the commissioner or
fisheries and game, and Mr. Sweeney
is the father-in-law of Hugh T. Miller,
who wants to be governor. For two
years this department has made very
little effort to protect the fish and game
of the state, preferring to reserve the
funds so that they can now be used TO
pay a large force of deputies, and this
turns a neat political trick. There is no
department IN the state that has been
run as rotten" as this department. Mr.
Sweeney through Earl, puts on deputies
at his will, pays them what he likes
allows what expenses he sees ut, ano
there is nobody to question his work
or what he does.
I sincerely trust that the people OF
the state of Indiana, and particularly
Lake county. Will not be deceived by
such methods. If 1 may be allowed
Mr.. Editor. the privilege of using {
small space In the columns of your
paper. 1 will later on show up some
of the underground workings of this
department, and also show the in
crease of deputies throughout the state

MANS eating, drinking and feasting, di-

Perhaps 1t was their very kindness of

Yes, indeed. 1t has lived all these
years; and, by the way my conception
always has been. that humor is but a
garment for the truth. 1t is the combi-
nation of philosophy and truth that
makes humor humor. The funniest things
are closest to truth. Exaggeration, how
ever sidesplitting, is not true humor."

asked DIR. Burdette if he knew of the
movement to erect monument to Bill
Nye at Laramie.
yes; 1t is time the humorists of Amer
lea were recognized. Nye did a noble
work. He made his generation forget
for a time life's dull routine. He made
us laugh! Is not that high enough praise
for any mans epitaph? Nye's gift of
comical expression, the prodigious guam
tity of matter he turned out, his staying
qualities, are unsurpassed in American
journalism.

THAT is an illustration that the pop

Minnesota, and some one threw 1t up to
him that his mother had been a wash
woman. He admitted that she was, and
that he had helped her when he was

ULCERATED TOOTH
CAUSES MANS DEATH

Alec Menson, who had been a cook for
the United States troops now in camp at
San Diego died in the emergency hospital
yesterday afternoon from an abscess of
the brain. He was on his way to his
home in Oakland.
When the Oakland troops left two
weeks ago for the San Diego encamp-
ment, Menson was suffering from an I'LL
cerated tooth. which later brought on
blood poisoning. He declined to be
treated at San Diego, and yesterday left
for Oakland with George Harris, quarter
master sergeant of the hospital corps, in
charge of him.
The two stopped over in Los Angeles
because of Menson's serious condition,
hoping to get the next train north. Men
son was taken to the emergency hospital,
where he died shortly afterward. Harris
will mot take the body north until he re-
ceives word from the military authorities
as to what disposition is to be made of it.

HOW JUDGE LANDS
ADMINISTERS AFFAIRS
-sTIRs UP TROUBLE IN STATE
DEPARTMENT
Celebrated ALLIANCE" Affair with Spain
Antedating War for Freedom Of
Cuba Comes Up In His
Regime

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON. July 13.-Judge Ken
esaw Mountain Lands of the United
whom John d. Rockefeller was exam
ined, is only 40 years old. His father
was wounded In the battle of Kenesaw
Mountain, hence his name. Lands was
born nearly two years after the Civil
War had ended.
Judge Lands is picturesque in ap-
pearance and manner. He was private
secretary to Walter Q. Gresham from
1893 to 1885. Judge Gresham had COM
manded the regiment in which Judge
Lands father served. Young Lands,
prior to that, had been a Republican.
but turned Democrat to accompany
Gresham to Washington.
While Lands was in the state depart
ment the Alliance affair" occurred
The Alliance, an American vessel, was
overhauled by a Spanish gunboat out
side the three-mile limit of Cuban juris-
diction and searched on suspicion of
being loaded with munitions of war for
the Cuban insurgents. There was a
great hubbub developed in favor of de-
manding an apology.
About that time Lands came near
running the state department. Secre-
tary Gresham was Ill and President
Cleveland had gone down the Potomac.
Edwin H. Uhl of Michigan was acting
secretary of state. He yielded to the
popular cry and wrote telegram to
Hannis Taylor, the United States min
lister at Madrid, instructing Mr. Taylor
to demand an apology of the Spanish
government. He signed it 'Uhl, act
ing"
BY the merest accident Secretary
Lands saw the telegram. He withdrew
it from the departments telegraph OPP
orator and hurried with it TO Mr.. Ores
ham. Under Landis' advice Mr.. Ores
ham scratched out "Uhl, acting and
signed his own name. A few days lat
err the text of his telegram got into the
newspapers, with Mr.. Gresham's name
attached, and the dying secretary of
state was praised from one end of the
country to the other.
When President Cleveland returned
home and learned what had occurred
he was furious. He declined to sane
ton the demand for an apology and re-
dress, and 1t looked for a while as If he
would haul Lands over the Goals.
Later Mr. Cleveland became attached
to the young private secretary and Of
fered to send him to Venezuela as min
lister. But Lands had seen enough of
diplomacy and declined. He preferred
law to politics.

WANTS TO SUE CITY

In 1901 the council ordered the grading
of the boulevard, but work was not
started till July 1904. The object was to

URGE CHARTER REVISION
Mayor Receives Letters Indorslng APP

Mayor Harper received several letters
yesterday indorsing his proposed message
to the city council urging the appoint

The mayors plan is to name a commit
tee composed of the city attorney, lead
ing local attorney representatives of the
leading civic bodies and few other men
whom the council may want.
This commission will be given definite
time within which to make partial and
final reports, for 1t is expected that the
work will consume at least years time.
The draft of the revised ordinance will
be turned over to the people at a special
election eventually.

DETERMINED TO GET EVEN
Abstracts Articles and Is Promptly
Arrested Therefor

William Allen was yesterday sentenced to 100
days in the city jail on charge of petty
larceny
Allen was bound over to the city court
about two weeks ago on charge of larcency-
1t was alleged that he had brokne into the
rear of a cafeteria establishment on Main
street opposite the Huntington building, and
had stolen some kitchenware.
Allen had been working in the place ana
claimed he had been underpaid by the pro-
prietor The value of the articles was very
small and after the district attorneys onicss
had investigated the matter they recommends
to the city prosecutor that Allen be prose-
euted on a petty larceny charge.
