King Caucus.

And now there is a cry In the House
against King Caucus He is the object
of maledictions once hurled al Car Can
non. He is too powerful. and is abusing
HIS power. He is everything, the indi-
vidual member nothing. What chance
has a member now unless in the swim?
If he sets himself up against the king
he Is bowled over. After the king has
spoken all must obey. The House is not
a deliberative body. although the promise
that 1t should become one was made In
last years campaign for democratic con-
troll.
Yes. yes. Did Mr.. Lindbergh OF Min
nesota really believe in the democratic
warfare on Mr.. Cannon? Did he fancy
II was anything more than party
maneuver?, Did he imagine that with
change of control in the House would
come change of spirit as to the exer-
else OF authority? If so. he was too
confiding by half. He should have in
formed himself on House history, and
studied with care the striking difference
'twixt tweedledum and tweedledee-have
gone back 10 the time when after de-
posing Car Reed the democrats put the
scepter into the hands of Car Crisp.
What of an unusual character is King
Caucus doing? Majority rule means
team work. A party in commission must
go into action united upon plan If the
common enemy is TO be overcome. IL
every member were at liberty to act on
his own hook success would be impos-
sible Authority must center somewhere,
and be obeyed.
Mr.. Underwood is proceeding in long
approved party fashion. He calculates
for differences of opinion among demo-
cfats-knows they exist-but demands
that they be settled with as little aid
and encouragement to the enemy as pos
sible He makes the caucus his partys
clearing house.
Take the question of wool. That was
full OF danger for the democrats. They
had for years been clamoring for free
wool. and voting for il in Congress
Should il not now be made free? Many
members of the House thought so, ana
wondered at the proposition OF Mr.. IN
derwood TO keep il on the dutiable hst
A caucus was called, and every democrat
urged to attend. There was full mus
ter. Both sides were heard. Advocates
of free wool enjoyed every opportunity
to impress their views on the majority
but failed Mr.. Underwood won. even
asainst the influence of Mr.. Bryan, and
in the bill approved a duty on raw wool
was retained.
Is there anything unusual or unrea-
sonable in the demand that all the demo-
Gratis support measure bearing the eau
Gus stamp? So far az the republicans
are concerned they have opportunity Tor
omen debate. and debate enough. The
louSa for all reasonable purposes, IS
deliberative body. Deliberation for mere
delay is not elaboration at all. Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Cannon as czars did ex-
cellent service in limiting the weary
velter OF talk" and Mr.. Underwood has
imposed the same service on King eau
Gus. The car is dead-or some folks
think he is Long live the king! Au-
thority must lodge somewhere.

Harriet Beecher Stowe.
IN the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
All who care to may celebrate today
the Tooth anniversary of the birth of
the author of "Cncle Toms Cabin" We
must still consider that book in the
popular sense, the foremost American
work of prose fiction. David Harum''
and the pseudo oriental, quasi-reli-
gious romance of Lew Wallace were of
much briefer fame. Probab bly, as few
persons are reading Uncle Toms
Cabin In this centenary of Harriet
Beecher Stowe as Mr.. Westcotts book
or "Ben-Hur," but for a third of a CEN
fury the tale of life among the lowly"
held sway, while countless theatrical
versions of 1t were so profitable that
Uncle Tommers'' became a descriptive
phrase in actors parlance, and Topsy
and Little Eva were transformed into
dramatic personages as familiar, If not
as vital, as the characters Of Shake
speare and Sheridan.

ONE SALOON FOR THE
FIRST FIVE HUNDRED
Judge Hanley Gives Impor-
tant Ruling on Proctor
Law.

Kentland, Ind, May 15.--Judge
Hanley. in a decision handed down
here on the Proctor law ruled that a
saloon could be established in a unit
that had voted wet with less popula-
ton than 1000. where county commits
sioners had placed 1000 as the basis.
He CONSTITUTES the law to provide one
saloon for the first 500 population and
that the limitation does not begin on
the 1000 basis until after the first sa-
loon license has been granted.
Newton county commissioners, on the
advice OF the county attorney, refused
to grant saloon license for Lincoln
township. which voted wet" by ma
jority of "a on April % and which has
population OF less than 1000. the
basis fixed by the commissioners. The
case was apepaled to the circuit court

Whether or not DR.. Cook is the great

whether or not he discovered the pole
is still matter of controversy, but the
fact remains that this man has become
one of the interesting characters on

reason the pictures of him will be in

If Cook is the champion liar of the
century he is interesting for that rea-
son, and people will be interested in
seeing some of the scenery that goes
into the makeup of the setting for his
monumental lie.
If Cook is honest and either ,discov-
cred the pole. or thought he did, then
he is still a matter of great interest
The pictures of Dr. Cook are sure to
attract a great deal of attention

Grand Jury Adjourns.

The grand jury which was called for
the purpose of Investigating crimes and
misdemeanors in the county of Lake,
but more particularly to determine
whether or not certain cases should be
stricken from the docket, completed it's
labors today
At o'clock it appeared before Judge
Lawrence Becker and returned three
true bills and ordered one dismissal 1t
is understood that other cases were or
dered dismissed previous to this.
Judge Becker, in a statement TO a
TIMES reporter. said today that a wrong
impression had been secured of his
charge to the jury. He said that his in
structions were based on the provisions
of the law which require him to men
ton specifically that all public Offices
should be investigated and 1t was not
his intention to mention the county
commissioners and except the other
county and city offices.
There are certain things which the
law requires that all grand Juries be
charged with investigating. Combina-
tions in restraint of trade is one.

Deputy Clerk Carl Ames is the largest
court calendar ever printed in this part
of the state. Owing to the fact that
there are new three superior court
rooms 1t was necessary to redocket ev-
cry case and give the room in which
1t was tried. This necessitated arduous
work both for the clerks office and the
printer The increase in the number
of lawyers in Lake county also made
necessary an order of $50 copies.

Oral Contract N. G..

The appellate court yesterday held
that an oral contract with agent for
the sale of real estate Is not void, but
that it will form a good consideration
for a promissory note made in pay
ment of the commission for the sale.
The court reversed the decision of the
Wayne circuit court in the case of
George A. Doney against Abram w.
Laughlin. Laughlin owned a farm in
Wayne county and made an oral con-
tract with Doney by which Doney was
to sell the farm forhim for which
