All the big politicians in Lake coun-
ty are not at home" These days,
most of them have gone to Chicago to
spend the week and it is surprising
how many, have succeeded in getting
tickets to the convention. Far more
than the ratio that Indiana's other 90
every county in Indiana got half as
many tickets as Lake county did, In
diana would have 5000 people in the
Coliseum.

The Fair Girl Graduate.

The Fair Girl Graduate.
She stands today in cap and gown,
Full stored with wisdom's lore,
Within her pretty maiden head
OF knowledge a great store.
She sees before her a career,
For from frivolity:
To make her mark upon the world.
Determined well is she.
She stands upon the rostrum there.
Her essay in her hand,
And looking from her learned heights
She cannot understand
Why women cannot series views
Take of the higher life,
And see a nobler fate there is,
Than courted as a wife.
But, all. but few short weeks elapse
And what. then, do we see?
This same maid, in her fluffy gowns
A belle down by the sea.
And as the men will press about,
Each eager for her hand,
Wen see that maid of high ideals
Just hirt to beat the band!

become so accustomed to being lined
up in front of the newspaper cameras
that he says he believes he is being
used as a decoy.
Every time some newspaper man
wants to get a group of statesmen
he said. after looking pleasant for the
third time in ten minutes right after
breakfast, "he comes and gets me as
an easy one, and then it is less diff
cult to persuade some other fellow

The Indiana managers in Chicago are
preparing to give the Marion club
fine reception when the marching or
ganization with its band arrives on
Wednesday morning. An escort will go
to the station and a line OF march has
been laid out to give the Indianapolis
men a chance to show themselves.
The march Will take them to the
Coliseum, where the convention will be
in session. At an appointed hour the
club will be given entrance to the hall
and will march through the aisles with
the bands playing and flags waving
At the same time other marching
clubs will visit the convention and it
is expected this feature will be one of
the most inspiring of the sessions. The
various visiting clubs will have the
right to whoop it up for favorite can
didates while they are passing through
the hall, and the Indiana managers
plan to have a Fairbanks demonstra
tion that will make the delegates stand
on their chairs and crane their necks

PRESIDENT AND SOCIALISM.
Some Comment AprOpOs of His
Oyster Bny Speech.

blifor The Washington Herald.
In your excellent paper OF July Y your
oyster Bay correspondent. writing on
the Ilth says: President Roosevelt here
to-day delivered a little sermon on good
citizenship. and IN a scorching denuncia-
tion OF socialism. set at rest forever the
idea that he leaned 10 its tenets" do
not doubt that this was the purpose OF
the Presidents address. But It was a
purpose that his words. as quoted IN the
report, certainly failed 70 accomplish.
The thing which lie so vigorously de-
nOUnces. and TO which he declares himself
unalterably opposed. IS not Socialism at
all; while the thing to which be stands
committed. by the most explicit declara-
tions, IS the very thing that Socialists
are aiming TO bring about.
According 10 your correspondents re-
port, the President declares emphatlcally
for Equality OF opportunity 70 render
service" and adds: II Will do everything
can to bring II about. Equality OF re-
ward2 No; unless there Is also equality
Of service"
Now, the President ought to know. as
you doubtless do know, that socialism
does not stand. and never has stood. for
Equality OF reward" Its distinctive
motto is. From every one according to
his ability 70 every one according 10 his
deed" II is this feature which chiefly
differentiates socialism and communism
and Bellamyism- Bellamy stood for ecc-
nomic equality. Communism says, From
each according to his ability, to each ac-
cording 70 need" I know Of no socialist
writer who stands for either Of these
things to-day. And there Is certainly
nothing in the Socialist platform TO war
rant the Presidents charge that the ideal
Of socialism IS that every man shall
put into the common fund what he can.

would mean what he chose. and to take
out whatever he wanted"
I confess to a great admiration for
very much that the President has said.
from time TO time. on the subject Of good
citizenship. But the best things that he
has said are things--like this declaration
for equality CT opportunity to render
service"-in which he and socialists are
entirely at one. The difference between
him and them, II what has here been
quoted represents him fairly. is not at
all a difference touching the end TO be
reached, but difference as TO the neces-
sary means 10 be employed. Let the dis
cussion, then, center upon this difference
Let those who think the socialists wrong

OF all public utilities. and all industries
which have become virtually monopolls-
tic, point out the evils which, IN their
view. such a policy would surely bring

real issues in the case To set up a man
Of straw, which the uniformed people
naturally accept as the real thing. and

worst kind Of "nature-faking." I trust
that the President has done this IN igno-
