ROBBERY SUSPECTED
BY Ex-superintendent of Light
Plant, Rogers, Last
Evening.
NO CLUE WAS DISCOVERED

Charles Rogers, ex-superintendent of
the Municipal Light plant, was of the
opinion tina his home on North Fifth
street had been robbed last evening.
A window pane in the rear OF the house
was broken and the back door was
ajar when Mr.. Rogers returned home.
Superintendent of Police Gormon visit
ed the place and made an investiga-
ton of the premises, but failed to dis
cover any evidence Ut a robbery, other
than the broken window pane and the
open door. Nothing was missing nor
was anything disturbed in the house.
1t is thought that the thief was prob
ably scared away by the return of Mr..
Rogers, before he could accomplish his
work.

said or done. In other words, Super
intendent Gormon's idea is not to wait
until something nappens-it is better
to prevent than to try to cure. That
seems to be the policy of the thinner
man administration and every ap
pointee before he took his office placed
in the mayors hands his resignation
in blank to become operative any mo-
ment the mayor feels that the subordi-
nate Is not doing his duty.
Pull does not count. It is ability,
honesty and strict attention to duty
that keeps the appointees of Mayor
Zimmerman in office. That is why the
question is so often asked, Twill Doc

carry to the end of his term the policy
he has adopted at its start.
when DR.. Zimmerman was mayor
before. his administration purchased q
lighting plant that has been a marked
success. Now, movement has been
started to purchase the water plant,
and the friends of the mayor believe
that he can successfully carry out his
plans. But that Is to the future.
''In the last national election Wayne
county and the city of Richmond
came mighty near going democratic on
the state. congressional and part of
the legislative tickets. This is one of
the banner republican cities and coun-
ties of the state, and the big falling off
in the Republican vote alarmed the
party leaders. They decided that the
old way of doing things was not the
way the people desired, and so they
changed things, and the manner in
which DR.. Zimmerman is conducting
the affairs Of Richmond is an indica-
ton that the party managers have
come to realization that giving the
people what they want in the way of
good municipal government is, after
all, the best politics for any party.

'The lineup with Aldrich and Can
non by Congressman Barnard is not
pleasing to the Wayne county people,
and there is talk Of opposition to him
for reelection. but it has not developed
to any great extent. as least as far as
naming candidate is concerned.
Some of the democrats are trying to
get the Rev. Thomas Kuhn into the
race again. but he has not agreed to

It is said now that John B. Faull.-
nor, of Michigan City, will not be q
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for secretary of state, but that he
will stand for reelection as represent
alive, and that If he is elected he will
be candidate for speaker Of the house
unless Harry Strickland, of Greenfield
becomes a candidate. Faulkner and
Strickland are close friends, and they
would rot run against each other for
speaker. Strickland says he will be
candidate, for speaker, but he Is
having SO much opposition for the
nomination in his own county that it
is not a cinch that be will be nominal
ed. It is believed. however, that he
will win out. Faulkner can probably
be reelected to the house from Laporte
county. but if he is elected he will
'robably be the only democrat in the
nouse fro mthe Tenth district.
DR.. S. A. Clifford, of Laurel, has an
bounced that he will be candidate for
denomination for representative from
Franklin county.
There is said to be plan on foot to
keep L. Ert Slack, of Franklin, out OF
the democratic race for the United
States senatorship next winter, in case
the democrats control the legislature.
1t is said that Joseph H. Shea. of Sey-
mour, a close friend of Senator Shive-
ly, will be the candidate, and that the
Shea following will agree to support
Slack for governor in 1912 in return
for support for Shea for Senator next

The Men and the Notes.

Two men went into the world to seek their
fortunes. While one was singing with his
eyes upturned the other was looking on the
ground for what he might find, and was for
tunate enough to discover ten dollar bill
His first delight was turned to disappoint-
ment when he thought that it might as well
have been hundred dollars. Then actuated
by avarice, he dexterously changed the hg
ures, pasted &c" over the ~ and raised
the note tenfold.
His companion continued to sing, and en-
deavored to raise his high note to {, and,
after persistent effort, succeeded. Both
men were discovered, and while the former
is behind bars without a note the other is
in front of bars cashing his notes as fast as
he can utter them.

notes are raised-N. Y. Herald. -
