POLITICAL TARANTISM

! AVLAAASHL tAhAiNflO
Throughout the nation there have been
expressions of shame and humiliation be-
cause the president has sullied the dignity
Of his high Office by employing its pres
tige in promoting the partisan interests
or his political protege.
There is a limit, however to the extent
that even a president Of the nation may
disregard conventionalities and official
deeency. The protest that went up from
therespectable citizenship Of the land rel
alive to President Roosevelts unwarrant-
ed attack upon a citizen and his utter
ance of unprovable accusations that are
denominated rank falsehoods, was marked
with such intense indignation that the re-
publican leaders and friends Of the presi-
dent vehemently urged him todlscontinue
his indiscreet and unwise utterances, and
as a result Roosevelt is now practical
ly muxzled
There is little doubt in the minds Of
those persons who have closely analysed
the Roosevelt Hearst Haskell political
episode that il was brought about by the
activity Of certain interest-serving politi-
clans in Oklahoma, with the STANDARD Oh
candidate for United States Senator act
ing as principal agent, and with an auxi-
liary coterie Of railway lobbyists. preda-

MORE MODERN
HOMES W. NTED
Bio Demand for Them in Grand
RaDidS---NOne to be Had.

There is an unusual demand for
modern homes in Grand Rapids this
spring, and practically none to supply
the demand. Considering conditions
there are comparatively few vacant
houses of any kind in the city at pres
ent, but the supply of modern domi-
Giles is nil. Real estate men report
repeated inquiries for modern homes,
cottages and residences fitted with all
the conveniences, but none are to be
had. The condition is really of some
consequence to the city as there are
families who would come here to re-
side could they secure the homes they
desire. 1t is true a number of new
and modern homes are to be erected
this summer, but these are to be oc-
cupied by the owners themselves and
will not be for rent.
Here is good opportunity for some
live wide awake real estate man to
make a neat turn by building some
modern cottages for rent or for sale on
easy terms. He indeed would be a
benefactor who would make two cot
tages grow where one grew before.

HOTEL PATRONAGE
ON THE INCREASE

Hotel clerk f. L. Lamberton of the
Witter House reports that the patro-
mage at this favorite hostelry is rapid
ly on the increase.
The average number of patrons
housed at this hotel daily during the
past month is thirty-tiye, which
is net gain of 10 percent over the
number formerly housed here. Vari-
Gus reasons are accountable for this
increase in popularity no one of
which in itself is the direct cause.
In the first place we understand there
has been a decided improvement in the
cuisine, which in itself is powerful
inducement to the travelling public to
stop here. Under the management of
the new clerk, Mr.. Lamberton, every
room in the house has been over
hauled and thoroughly cleaned and
everything possible done to make this
hotel an inviting one.

CHICKENS ARE FREAKS

Richland county does not claim that
any of lis residents ever visited the
GunE eSs farm near Lap0rte, Ind to
talk over some matrimonial plans
with Mrs. Guinness. but nevertheless
Richland county is going to attract
some attention just the same.
Mrs. c. S. Scott of Richlaud Centre
has freak chicken with four we'll
developed legs, two of which are on
the fowls back. The neighbors say
that it can walk either way although b
it has to be right side TO pick up
feed from. the ground. 1t is believed
that the chick will live.
Then there is the hennery of J. W.
Paul of La Fargo 1t claims the resi-
dence of hen which has just Matched
a four-legged chicken. One pair of
legs are Of normal size and in the re-
gular place while the other pair
is just in front of them. Mr.. Paul in
tends to train the chicken to trot and
pace like horse and is now making
the hobbies.

SHERIFFS WILL ASK
FOR CHANGE
At Meeting in July, They Will
Start Movement for a Four
Years Term.

The sheriffs of counties of Wiscon-
sin may endeavor to have the next
legislature amend the law which now
allows them to hold Office but one
term of two years and allow them 20
succeed themselves. Conferences are
being held by the several sheriffs and
an organization may De perfected by
these men whose terms expire next
January, the express purpose of
which will be to have the present law
amended.
1t is planned to hold gathering of
the sheriffs at Minneapolis, Mimi,
during the annual national gathering
Of sheriffs which is to be held in July.
While the organization is being
planned as a helpful organization
along many lines, it is being formed
with the strict idea of securing new
legislation in regard to the terms of
office for sheriffs in the state.
At the present time there is state
law which makes it impossible for a
man serving in the Office of sheriff to
seek a nomination at the time of his
retirement. The office of sheriff is
regarded as the best office in the gift
of the people Of the counties from a
financial standpoint, but it is the only
one that limits the successful candi-
date to single term of two years.
For years the sheriffs in the state
have been objecting to this clause of
the state law as it is claimed that it
is impossible for the successful candi-
date to make any money out Of the
office under the two years term.
OF course this is a matter Of con-
lecture, but it is certain that the
candidates for sheriff are forced to
spend more than any other candidates
for county offices to secure their
nomination and election.
The short term of the sheriff has
long been complained against, and
there is little doubt but that a longer
term would be beneficial not only to
the officers themselves, but also to the
counties, as it would assure the coun-
ties better service. 1t usually takes a
new sheriff year to get acquainted
with the work of the office and by the
time he has organized his force his
term has expired.

GIVE US THE LOCAL NEWS

Every newspaper wants to publish
the news. The better the paper the
more prosperous it will be. Local
news items ar" especially hard to run
down. How many times have you;
dear reader beer approached by the
newspaper man for an item of news
and told him that you knew nothing
of interest. Probably at the time
your family were away on a visit or
some one from out of town was visit
ing at your home. OF course you
didn't mean to deceive the scribe, yet
when you received your Epaper you
wondered why your family and friends
were not mentioned A good way to
avoid all of this is to kindly inform US
of the facts or drop note in the post
office to the paper. The one item may
not amount to much, but several
columns of such news is the life of a
local paper See?
