In the discharge of his duties as pres
 dent MT Cleveland lived up to the best traditions of the office. He never failed to respect the trust imposed upon him. He exhibited in the White House high degree of courage. frmness and dignity. He undoubtedly did much to enlarge the powers of the executive and to free it from the appearance of sub serviency to the leaders or congress. Mir Cleveland had never mastered the arts of the politician. He was impa- tient of restraint and resolutely deter mined to assert his own individuality
 In fact, he owed little 10 the politicians

HORNETS CAUSE STIR
IN LODGE ROOM
Candidate Receiving Third
Degree South of Lowell,
Gets a New One.
MAsONS DRIVEN TO RETREAT
Masonic Hall Filled With Escaping
Hornets Who Do Lots of
Business.
Especial to The Times,

Lowell. Ind. June 26-some fast and
exciting degree work was witnessed in
the Masonic lodge room at Rose Lawn
south of this city last night.
The work was entirely impromptu
and never seen on a lodge room floor
before
One Of the candidates for the third
degree was wondering what was com
ing next when a hundred hornets that
had built nests in the attic over the
hall were stirred up in some way and
without grip sign or password made a
descent on the Mason's assembled.
Lady Hornet Gets Busy
The candidate who was duly i'm
pressed with the solemn occasion and
It's beauty, was aroused by a large
lady hornet who camped on his ear and
planted a stinger where it would do
the most good.
Then other members of the lodge,
who had been enjoying the work,
suddenly decided that they had bust
ness outside the lodge room and didn't
wait to give the sign either.
Others Come to Rescue
The candidates screams and wells
summoned a number of other hornets
W no HuIIleU ~ luSlT sister on Mr.. Can
didates ear. thinking that she needed
assistance.
BY this time the lodge work had
practically been abandoned. Masons
stood not upon the order of their go
ing, but beat hasty retreats.
Toll Of Casualties Heavy.
The toll of casualties was fearfully
heavy and the hornets were the con-
querors. The third degree candidates
were deserted by their brethren and
will begin the rest OF the work when
they can be induced to return.
The candidate, who was stung on
the ear. has not been convinced as yet
that hornets were not q part of the
regular work.
When you meet a well known Rose
Lawn citizen going to his work these
days with an ear like a slice of liver
you'n recognize the hornets work In

ALDERMAN DEFENDS
LOCAL OPTION
Mayor Lawrence Becker Will Take
Charge of Legislative Work to
Smash Cities and. Towns Act at
Next Meeting of the Indiana Leg
islature.

Mayor Becker of Hammond and
Mayor Knots of Gary are back from
the big meeting at Laporte.
Two questions of great interest to
the people OF Lake county were dis
cussed at the eighteenth annual con-
ventiOn of the Indiana Municipal league
which has been I'm session at LnpOrte.
One was the nIl important question Of
local option and the other waS the
question of amending the cities and
towns law which Is obnoxious to most
Of the mayors OF the state.
Councilman J. E. Sears of Gary, who
has been a potent factor in recent
success of the remonstrance declared
that local option had ben made nee
essary by the fragrant violations of the
law by the Gary saloonkepers He was
opposed by Hugo S. Grosser of Chi
cago. who declared that the entire elm
ination of the saloon from the county
or township " would make drinking an
illegal act and offend the traffic of the
legalized saloon which harms no COM
munity.'
Mayor Becker Is Active.
The attack on the cities and towns
act was upon two features: Warren X
Voohfs, city attorney of Kokomo. ia
police. saying the police officers should
be under the control of the boards of
public safety appointed by the mayor
He also recommended the amending of
the cities and towns act its regard to
streets, municipal plants and official
regulations.
Mayor Becker. who has been an ar
dent opponent of the provision in the
cities and towns act which prohibits a
mayor from succeeding himself for
second term was able to secure the
unanimous adoption of a resolution in
to secure the passage of a law which
will permit mayors and others city
officials to serve more than one term
He is to personally take charge Of
this campaign to secure the passage of
this law at the next session Of the leg
islature and with the backing of the
