TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis Ind. May 3-During a
discussion of the present political sit
uation in the state of Indiana between
two republicans who are high up in the
councils of the party, a few days ago,
it was brought out that unless the re-
publicans use extreme care and make
use of the wisest counsel between now
and next state election they Will be
wiped off the boards by the demo-
Gratis. 1t is a far cry from now to the
next election. but it was pointed out
that the present situation is one that
will require all the time that inter
venes to straighten out.
Republicans Have Slim Chance.
Figures show that the republicans
have a slim chance of securing control
of the next Legislature. This may
sound strange, but it is true A good
many Indiana republicans win doubt
it, because they have been so successful
in this state during the past sixteen
years. during all Of which time they
have had control of the legislature.
that they have come to regard it as
practically Impossible for them to be
defeated. Continued success has made
some of them chesty and has bred in
them a too apparent overconfidence So
| that the figures may surprise them,
when they show that it viii be only
| by carrying Marion county that the re-
| publicans will be able to have a ma
| jority on joint ballot in the next Iegis-
| lature. II the republicans carry Mar
ion county they may control the legis-
lature. If they do not, according tc
present figures, they viii lose out or
! joint ballot
L. =. Senator in the Balance.
This situation is of extreme import
ance to the republican party in Indi-
ana, for it means that the republican:
win elect Senator Beverage to succeed
! himself or that the democrats will cleo
his successor.
There are twenty-five holdover sena
tors, half of the total number befnl
elected every two years OF the TWEEN
ty-five the democrats have fifteen an,
the republicans ten. This difference IL
favor of the democrats is due to the re

to bear fruit Yesterday Superlnteh-
dent of Schools E. n. Canine and Sec
rotary of the Board of Education d. ID.
Dixon, together with Superintendent
W A. Writ and Secretary Melton OF
Gary appeared before the county board
Of education which met in Crown Point
and asked that the county be divided
into three truancy districts. They re-
Quested that Gary and East Chicago
constitute one of the said districts
The measure was granted and the
following officers appointed to repre-
sent their respective districts:
District No. Isaac Stamford of
Hammond
District No. 2.--W. A. Ray of Gary.
District No. 3---W. A Pattee Of Crown

East Chicago and Gary are embraced

Hammond Whiting, Munster, Tolleston
and two or three small settlements
within this locality while District No.

county.
It is the desire Of superintendent
Canine and Writ and Secretaries Davis
and Melton. that their truant officer
be clothed with authority to not only
read sterotyped riot acts to boys who
play hockey as a mild diversion, but
his scope be similar, within the dis
tricts he represents, to that of the
county probation officer. empowering
him to make arrests in the cases of de-
uuouents whose offenses warrant such
measures and to enforce their appear
ance before the Juvenile court To this
end the CITY councils of East Chicago
and Gary are to be asked to appoint
the truant officer deputy marshal, each
for the territory under it's jurisdiction.
officer Ray has been exercising a
mild supervision over truants from the
Gary school. for some time. However,
in the past his authority has been only
that Of a truant officer, and he has had
no power to make arrests, nor was his
office in any sense a county one.
Superintendents Canine and Writ
have long been aware that some force
fu1 action was necessary, and some
time ago discussed the subject with
the reform in view The recent ex-
o.,,ras Of bovs involved in crime
have emphasized the necessity.

tOfore they were republicans What
they viii be next time is a serious ques-
ton. If the republicans carry Marion
county and elect the eight members this
will give them ffty-seven members of
the house and the republicans forty
three. If the republicans carry Mar
ion county they win have a bare fifty
one members in the house and the
democrats will have forty mine.
The Big If.
If the democrats win on this basis
they will have eighty 1.-TWO votes on
joint ballot while the republicans win
have sixty eight. and the democrats
will elect a United States senator.
If the republicans win on this basis
they will have seventy seven votes on
joint ballot and the democrats will haze
seventy-three. and Senator Beveridge
will be reelected.
These figures are not made up from
guesswork, but from a careful study
of the lay of the land in the various
counties in the state, and the two re-
publican leaders who were discussing
the matter reluctantly admitted that
they state the true situation. If the
names Of these two republicans could
be published they would cause a sensa-
prove that they know what they are
talking about.
Liquor Question a BuEabOO.
How to overcome this evident dis
advantage is the task that confronts
the republicans of Indiana today, and
to this task they will surely have to
! apply themselves if they expect to win
| the 1910 election. This is one reason
/ why the leaders are trying to keep the
/ liquor question out of the next cam
paign- Everybody is afraid of it. Both
/ sides dread the issue. If the repubn-
cans declare again for county local OPP
tion they will drive away a large lib
eral element that the party will need
/ at the polls. If the platform makes any
| adverse declaration it will mean the
loss of the large dry element in the
party, which is equally important and
necessary to success. So the general
impression at this time seems to be tc
| say nothing at all on the liquor ques-
ton. The local option law is on the
bookshelf it stay there. That seems tc
be the most popular plan.
The Brewer Is In Bad.
OF course If the republicans can keeI
from saying anything at all on the liz
uor question and can at the same time
tie up the democratic party in the state
with the brewers. as was done in thu
last campaign, it is admitted that i
viii be easy sailing for the republicans
But the democrats are as badly scarce
of the liquor question as any one else
and there is no certainty that they viii
listen to the lure Of the brewer mex
= year and fight his battle for him.
Any republican, or democrat, VIII
will take the time to sit down an
make a careful study of the political
conditions as they exist throughout tn
state today. will find that the figure
? given above as as nearly correct as an
estimate can be made this time

A CASE OF URGENT NEED.

It was in the hotel of a western mining town that the New England guest, registering in the office, heard succession of loud yells. 'What in the world is that-a murder going on upstairs?" he demanded.
 "No," said the clerk, as he slammed the book and lounged to- ward the stairs. "It's the spring bed up in No. 5. That tenderfoot up there don't get the hang of it, and every few days he gets one O the spiral springs screwed into him like a shirt stud.

STOCK AND LASH IN ONE.

In the Island of Jamaica there grows a tree with the botanic name of Daphne Lagetto, from the branches of which native workmen make peculiarly strong and excellent whips. These whips have the handle and lash all in one piece. The handle consists of part of the stem retaining the bark. For the lash the stem is deprived of bark and then split into strips, which are woven to- gether in a flexible cord six or seven feet long. The proper taper is af- forded by detaching more and more of the strips as the end of the lash is approached.

ORIGIN or "NAVVIES."

Railways may be said to run in the blood of Lord Brassey. His fa- ther, the humble son of a Cheshire yeoman, was among the first and the most successful exploiters of la bor by navvies, or "navigators," as they were termed, in the construc- tion of railway tracks. Engineers in England, Europe and America sought his services, and so many were his undertakings that he came to have an army of 15,000 in his employ. Nearly 1000 miles of rail- way were laid down under his direc- ton, and the cost ran close to ESQ., 900, ,000.-Tit-Bits.

PLAN IMMENSE DOCKS.

Rio Janeiro proposes to construct the greatest dock system in South America, if not in the whole western hemisphere. The plans call for about ten miles of docks, in addition to the two miles already provided for. The idea is that the additional docks shall consist at first of three great piers built at a distance of 1,115 feet from each other. Complet- ed, these docks will have a frontage of 62,320 feet, or about 12 miles, The additions planned will cost about $19,0OO.OOO.

THE FAKE CURL SALE.

The funniest thing on the after Christmas bargain counter of a ten cent store on Fourteenth street was fire sale of false curls. A great pile of curls lay on the counter, curls of all sizes, shapes and colors. One curl, two curls, three curls or five, above them the fatal sign of ''No exchanging in case the curls don't suit and no refunding of mon- v."-New York Press.

WAGE-EARNERS NOT UNITED.

Harriet Stanton Blatch says that in New York there are about 15,000 wage earners who are trades union- ists and about 4,000 that earn liv- ing in some other way than by trade. That the two classes will no more mix than water and oil, is declared by those who know. As Mrs. Blatch is the president of the trade union- ists and has recently become affili- ated with the aristocratic Mackay league, there is likely to be no end of trouble for her.

DRUMMER HAS TALE OF WOE
Travelling In Europe by No Means Compares Favorabiy with Same
 Line in America.

A New York commercial traveller on his first business trip to Europe writes: q am glad that am a buyer and not a seller out here, and l want to tell the boys who go on the road in our beloved country that theirs is life of unalloyed bliss, one continuous round of pleasure, in comparison with that of the drum mers on this side of the big water. We travel from New York to San Francisco and from Portland to Key West, and get along with our own language. One would have to be frst-class linguist to do justice to one-tenth of that territory here l met a drummer in Budapest who was selling for a German concern. Besides German, he had to speak several of the Slavonic tongues, and when he made his trips to Switzer- land and Italy he had to speak Ital- ian as well. Worst of all, after many years of work, this man was making about 5000 marks year, and, when you figure a mark at 25 cents, that is not what one might call without fear of contradiction a 'princely stipend.'"

ONE ON THE TEACHER.

The teacher was explaining to Tommy the difference between the words foreign" and domestic"
 ''Now, when anything is foreign it cannot be domestic" she added.
 ''Yes, it can, ma'am," spoke up Tommy.
 'Impossible. If you think so, Tommy, give us an example"
 Tommy thought a moment and then said:
 "Our cook is foreign, but she is also a domestic"

WOMEN DOCTORS IN PRISONS.

France has found that women physicians in the prisons are very successful, and no doubt they might do much to bring to d proper frame of mind the poor convicts, who are in many casss only the victims of cir cumstances and are only too happy to receive the hopeful and encour- aging word a woman is usually so able to give.
