A New Party

About every so often in the his
tory of nearly every country there
is a demand for third party. The
usual division into two dominant
parties does not satisfy all of the
vox populi. perhaps because such
division is not sufficiently pronounc-
ed. Hence the restless spirits tenn
porarily aligned with one or the
other old party through the force of
circumstances, feel the call of the
brain storm for something more
radical. Periodically Uncle Sam
has gone through the struggles and
agitations of third party, which
would spring up in night, have a
fitful career, and almost as rapidly
fade away.
Conditions are again approaching
for new party, encouraged by the
ambitions of Mr. Hearst, the young
millionaire radical of today. who
controls string of daily newspapers
in the large cities. He and his fol-
lowers have worked more or less un-
der the democratic banner, but the
signs are now multiplying for the
organization of a new party under
the head of Independence League,
such as he has perfected in the state
of New York.
1t is claimed that he will duplicate
his organization in every state pos
sible, and eventually create new
national party. If he succeeds, the
great percentage of such an organi-
zation must come from the demo-
cratic ranks. His strongest obstacle
is perhaps Mr. Bryan, who has here
tofore been the leader of this same
element of the democratic party.
Mr. Hearst's one strong issue is
government ownership of railroads
and public utilities. It's noticeable
that his papers did not give Mr.
Bryan much credit for expounding
such policy on his return from a
world-tour, since which time Mr.
Bryan has rather qualified his gov
ernment ownership theories.
While this leaves Mr. Hearst the
leading radical exponent of such is
sue, it gives Mr. Bryan a better
chance to win the conservative wing
of democracy. With division of
the radicals between himself and
Hearst, this easily leaves BRYAN in
the stronger position, because
Hearst can hope for nothing from
conservative democracy.
Under such conditions it will not
be strange if Mr. Hearst attempts to
follow many precedents, and organ
ize new party, without waiting for
period of discomfort, which is us
ually the basis for a new political
party

working Catalogue Houses

Webster City, Iowa. %. |. Kleve-
land, of Jewell, is organizing the
merchants Of Hamilton county into
an associating for the fight upon the
catalog houses. The opposition in
Hamilton county is only duplicate
of what is now being carried on in
every county in Iowa. 1t was start
ed by the state association of lumber
men and is to be carried into every
state in the union.
Mr. Kleveland started his campaign
here. \ His plan is to get every retail
merchant in touch with the large
catalog houses through letter or by
making some small purchase and
then to ask for catalog. Then by
various inquiries regarding goods
each merchant is to write the sever
al catalog houses at least two letters
week.
Figuring the cost Of the immense
catalog issued by mail order houses
at ST a piece and the postage to be
paid by these houses in answering
the 10000 letters they will receive
weekly from Iowa, it is certain the
calalog houses will be forced to
change their business methods. 1t is
figured this plan can be MAIDS to cost
the catalog houses as much as $780,
600 month apiece with practically
no returns.
Mr. Kleveland says that over 1000
lumbermen have already degun the
campaign. The big mail order
houses have learned of the plan and
are taking every precaution to weed
out their mail, separating the pros
pective purchasers from those who
are fighting them. With Hamilton
and every other county in Iowa
organized, however, the big houses
will be oblidged to increase their
force to open the mail The Iowa
retail merchants figure that If
their mail is thrown into the waste
basket, where much of it will doubt.
less go, it is inevitable that honest
inquiries form many prospective Gus.
toners will find a resting place their

MORE SAFEGUARDS
TO PRESERVE GAME
Earle Would Limit Hunters
and Restrict Cold Stor-
age Companies.
Especial to Lake County Times,

Indianapolis, Jan. 2-E s. Earle.
deputy fish and game commissioner. is
going to propose some rather important
amendments to the fish and game laws
as they now obtain on the statute
books. One will limit the open season.
The open season for quails now is
from Nov. 10 to Jan. L." said Mr.. Earle
I'm my estimation this is too long"
The deputy would not say how much
he thought should be cut off the open
season. Nor do L know which end
should take it from" he continued
Perhaps ten days off at the first of the
season; perhaps ten days off the end of
the season; or perhaps ten days off at
both ends of the season"
The deputy advocates the lessening
of the number of quails that a hunter
may kill in a day, too. At present each
hunter may kill twenty four. Twenty
four is too large a number" he said
Il will propose that this be reduced to,
say about fifteen. This is enough for
one days hunt"
Along this line further, Mr. Earle
said that the number of quails that any
person, firm or corporation would have
on hand at any time during the closed
! season should be limited.
| II would not say that no firm, per
son or corporation should have more
than fifteen on hand" said Mr. Earle.
often 1t happens that man goes sew
eral miles to take three or four DAYS
hunt. In that event he should be al
lowed to have and take home more
than, say, fifteen quails. 1t would be
all right, 1 think, for him to take three
days game with him, in this case
| But nobody should be permitted
even in open season to have dozens and
scores of quails on hand. Corporations
cannot sell them; neither can individ-
uals, under the law. There is no rea-
son for having many on hand"
He called attention, too, to an onis-
sion in the present law that was mani
festly mistake. The present law pro-
hibits individuals from possessing quail
out of season. 1t makes no provision
for corporations possessing the birds
out of season, however, so that under
the present law cold storage houses
that are incorporated may have hun
dreds on hand out Of season and not be
made to suffer the penalty. Mr.. Earle:
remedy is very simple; just include the
corporations in the list of those whC
are prohibited from having quails II
their possession.

new CARS To
REPLACE OLD
Handsome Double Truckers
to Supplant Present Arks
on East Chicago Run.
IN LINE WITH PROGRESS
Ten Up-to-Date Coaches Almost Com
pleted "Rock-a-Byes" Will
Soon Go.

The strap hanging public that rides
back and forth between 63rd street and
East Chicago will be pleased to learn
that the South Chicago City Railway
is building and has nearly completed
ten new double truck cars that are
to be put on that run and will entire
totter cars that have been such a dis
credit to the company.
This is in line with the progressive
policy that was inaugurated when Su-
perintendent R. G.. Fields took hold OF
the company and planned its rehabi-
litation.
The most congested part of the line
is now that between Hammond and
East Chicago where the number of cars
and the frequency with which they
run at the rush hours is totally made
quate to handle the passengers.
The management declares, however
that some of the cars that are taken
from the East Chicago -63rd street rur
will be put on the Hammond East Chi
! cago run and that the trouble will be
remedied in that manner.
1t is matter of considerable sur
prise that the South Chicago City Rail
way is manufacturing its own cars
and if it will only be run to it's ful
capacity until the equipment of this
company is up to the standard, 1t viii
be the best industry the city of Soutt
Chicago has.
Two of the new cars will be ready
within two weeks and the rest are ex
/ pected to be completed within the mex
/ two months.

CLAIM MAYOR
WAS DRUNK
Huntington Stirred Up Over
Possible Impeachment Of
Chief Executive.

The city OF Huntington this state,
is stirred up over the possible i'm
peachment of its mayor, D. c. Ander-
son. Charges have already been filed
with the city clerk, in which it is stated
that on. the 22nd and 23rd Of Decem-
Der, the mayor was under the influence
of liquor and that he visited a gambling
house. The charges are preferred by
one Amos Kline. and will be read to
the city council which viii then ap-
point committee to investigate them.
Upon the return of the committee, the
council will act as Judge.
The impeachment ordinance was
passed shortly before Anderson began
his term Of Office this being done to
keep the mayor IN check as one of
the councilmen put il, as he promised 10
be a czar when he should enter his
office. The councilmen who proposed
the ordinance were friends of the mayor
and republicans like he is. At the
time they did not expect their impeach-
ment ordinance would be used by an
outsider in case the mayor should elect
to go on an occasional "toot."

Pullman Awaits With In
terest Erection of Plant
Details Withheld.
TO EMPLOY 100 MEN
Expected Work Will Be Under Way
Within Next Sixty Days
No Wood Used.

The town of Pullman is agog over
shops Oficials of the company refuse
to give out any details, but rumor
says that the plant will call for 1,100
men. General Manager Dunbar said
it was impossible to tell how soon
ground would be broken for the new
enterprise. 1t is known that the man
agement hopes. however, to have the
building under way within sixty days
at the outside.
The plans of the Pullman company
to meet the demand for cars with all
steel passenger coaches are developing
rapidly and the company has decided
to risk millions of dollars in the new
venture.
This step was determined upon at a
meeting Of the directors some six
weeks ago. Among those who are said
to have discussed it at the time are j..
Pierpont Morgan. W. Seward Webb,
Frederick W. Vanderbilt, and Presi-
dent Robert T. Lincoln.

A majority vote authorized Presi-
dent Lincoln to proceed with the con-
struction of a new plant on the Pull
man property. near 104th street. De-
tails We're left, as usual, in the hands
of the management.
President LIZ aoas airsad.s had work
ed the scheme out to the point where
1t was possible to turn it over to his
subordinates. This was done a fort
night ago, and this week General Man
ager Thomas Dunbar set the drafting
department at Pullman at work on
plans for a new plant with an initial
capacity of 900 steel cars per year. 1t
will be built in close proximity to the
big foundry at the north end Of the
Pullman works

APATHY IS SHOWN
IN DIVORCE LAWS
Governor Hanly Has Re.
ceived Copies of Report
of National Congress.
(speciai to Lake County Times).

Especial to Lake County Tfmes).
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3.-Governor
Hanly has received several copies of
the report of the national congress on
uniform divorce laws that met twice,
last year. once in February and once
in November. Indiana was represented
in the congress by the following ap-
pointees of the governor: Lieutenant
Governor Hugh T. Miller, former At
torney General Charles w. Miller,
James E. Piety and S. c. Simpson,
both of Terre Haute; H. c. Sheridan,
Frankfort; Theo. Talcott, South Bend;
John Morris, jr., Fort Wayne; John c.
Robinson, Spencer All of the above
did not attend the meetings, but all
were appointed.
The bill that the congress recon-
mended to all the state legislatures
will be presented to the Indiana legis-
lature. In brief, the bill differentiates
between divorce and annulment OF
marriage. Grounds that are sufficient
for one are not counted sufficient for
the other, according to the terms OF
the bill.
Divorce is subdivided, one form be-
ing an absolute divorce-'divorce from
the bonds of matrimony-and the other
being a limited divorce-"divorce from
bed and board" The cause that led
up to each of these two differentia-
tions are different. SO far, there has
been no large interest shown in the
marriage and divorce legislation, such
as was manifest two years ago, or
| the eve of the session of 1905.

Crown Points marriage mill began
grinding yesterday morning. but only
six couples were put through the new
short order process. These had gone
to Hammond first. where they were
directed to Crown Point, arriving here
on the afternoon train.
George w. Fisher, who is now fully
commissioned justice of the peace has
been appointed deputy clerk by Clerk
Wheeler, met the bridal parties on
their arrival, and assisted them through
the trying ordeal of answering cor
rectly all the fool questions required
by the Indiana marriage laws. When
this is over, the candidates for mat
rimony are lined up. unless they ask
for an ordained minister, and the
knots are tied with neatness and dis
patch, the fees collected, and the newly
married ones sent on their way re-
joicing.

The news that no more licenses will

dining room for bridal parties, and the
liverymen expect to establish a special
cab service between the depot and the
court house. The mipisteks are brush

THE WRIGHT CASE.

Governor Swanson on Saturday post
poned consideration of the fate OF Joseph
Thomas, alias Wright, the negro con-
victed of attempted criminal assault on
Mrs. Forrest GoOding in Luna Park early
last fall. The Governor was in con-
ference with Attorney James +. Clements
counsel for the prisoner on Saturday.
Judge Barley today received a letter
from Governor Swanson requesting him
to secure the record in the Wright case
and a review of the testimony during the
trial, etc, and forward it to him during
the next ten days, as the mans respite
expires on the 30ih of the month. To
comply with Governor Swanson's request
would have taken Judge Barley consid-
cradle time, and as he received the letter
lust as he was about to leave the city on
his vacation he Immediately wrote to the
Governor asking him to grant further
respite to,Wright of thirty days in order
that he might comply with his request.
Mr.. J. E. Clements, of the county,
counsel for Wright, was in the city today
and held a conference with Judge Bar
ley concerning the fate of the prisoner.
The Judge informed Mr.. Clements of the
request be had made for further respite
for Wright.
