has passed, an old age of 10 or Is or 20
years.
Are we. like my sweet old friend
building for ii now?
Building what?
Well love for one thing-the love
of others for us and in our own hearts
the habit OF loving others easily.
The habit of thought, for another
thing-not just desultary, dribbling,
impressionistic dreaming, but real sus-
tanned thinking, that will be
source to US when many of our present
pleasures and activities shall be denied
us
The ability to be happy with little
things, for another item of really
enjoying a warm. pleasant day in
spring, the first robins song, the sight
of an apple tree in bloom. the cheer
full sound of the hurdy gurdy, the
smell of a rose. the warmth of a
friendly greeting.
The habit of serenity, for another
thfng-not just the outward control
that cloaks a passionate inner revolt.
but the real sweet soul serenity, the
! kind that says:
| IF there's no sun, still can have the
moon;
Al lhefe no ihooh' Inc stais my heeo
suffice;
/ And If they fail have my evening
lamp;
And If the dip goes out, my couch re-
mains.
Where I may sleep and dream there's
! light again"
And suppose" you say. after I
have made all this preparation for old
age. suppose that never like to be old
| at ALL"
Well, my friend, what then?
Will you have any reason to regret
your building?
Myself. 1 don't think so.

VOICE OF
THE
p E Q p l. e

Y
East Chicago. Ind, June T.
Editor TIMEs-I have seen in a re-
cent issue of newspaper that the
friends OF Governor Marshall have de-
cided to abondon their efforts towards
winning for him the democratic nomin-
alton for the Presidency. This shows
that the friends of Mr.. Marshall are inn
pressed with the idea that discretion
is the better part of valor Evidently
they have kept their ears near the
ground. where they can hear tho
thunderbolt of popular wrath in pro-
cess of formation. Indiana's governor
has shown that he was not born great
but had greatness thrown upon him
accidently. and the misht Is so obvious,
that his best friends must admit that
he does not measure near up to the
standard indicated by Thomas A. Hen
bricks of illustrious memory.
One evidence of his failure to rise to
the level of master mind was furn-
ished in his dealing with the appoint-
ment of city judge within his gift
Here was an opportunity for him to
show appreciation of real merit and
bestow Reward for faithful and single
minded performance OF duties, de-
monstrating an unfaltering devotion to
principles which Mr. Marshall processes
to love. But he failed lamentably. In
stead of appointing members of his own
party which he had every right to do,
he relinquished the true exercise of
his prerogative in favor of what he
termed home rule.
This prima facie, is very plausible
but when given due consideration is
found to be a weary bad excuse. 1t Is
nothing more nor less than bid for
favors for himself from political foes
at the expense of those who had borne
the brunt of the battle by which he was
exalted to his office.
Here in East Chicago we had a can
didate a democrat, well equipped for
the position of city Judge. He pre-
scented a petition signed by all the
democrats and a great number of re-
publicans of the community and by q
host of prominent democrats in various
parts of Indiana. Such petition would
meet with the favor of any level-head-
| ed astpte executive, who can build into
the future and whose mind is not limit.
| ed by the narrow horizon of inordinatt
ambition. I have nothing whatever

gentleman but William A. Reiland wal

cago for the position of city judge.
| Through many years he aligned him

proclaim themselves democrats, wher,
republicans have been overwhelming,
in the ascendency. 1t is certain tina
no political preferment came his way
Now when an opportunity was afrorde,
| for rewarding such constancy, he wa
met by a cruel rebuff at the hands o
the man whose cause he so warmly
and efficiently espoused.
A just man battling against adver
sity deserves the sympathy of men an,

cold shoulder from the self-seeker.
