IN SYZYGY? MAYBE.

How can we get the governor of
Indiana, the mayor of Gary and the
democratic county chairman of Lake
county in syzygy?
Oh no, syzygy is not a Russian
drink, nor is it the name of the town
in Poland to which Antony Baukus
is supposed to have fed. nor is it the
name of saloonkeeper In the Stand
ard Steel car district.
II you remember anything about
the astronomy you used to study
when you were seventeen or eighteen
those terrible days when you thought
that you would actually die unless
you some day married the fair Lucille
who persisted in going home from
school with some other fellow, YOU
recall syzygy. 1t means when the
full moon, the earth, and the sun
are nearly in a straight line. Syzygy
also means '.yoked together" but 1,
can't be applied to married couples
because three figure in the deal.
We were just wondering what
might happen IL the MarshalI-for
president boom takes on any more
gas. What astronomical change:
will be necessary to line up the
mayor of Gary, the county Chairman
and the governor of Indiana in ons
straight line--in syzygy?

IS ROOSEVELT SINCERE :

An admirer of Theodore Roosevelt
and we deny no mans privilege to be
enthusiastic for Roosevelt If he can be
consistent at the same time, takes this
paper to task for its opposition to a
third term for the ex-president.
We sadly fear that the admirer OF
Mr.. Roosevelt is not thoroughly post
ed on national events and THAT NO
LESS A PERSON THAN MR.
ROOSEVELT, not very long ago stat
ed that IL would be a GENUINE
CALAMITY were he to be made the
central figure in a third term move
ment.
Recently when admiring friends
doomed him for third term. Mr.
Roosevelt wrote to the editor of the
Pittsburg Leader:
New York, \. Y, Aug. Is, 1911.--
My Dear Mr. Moore: l very great
~ appreciate your kind and
friendly feeling. but l am sure you
will understand me when I say
that 1 must ask not only you. but
every friend / have. to see to 1t
that no movement Whatever Is
made to bring me forward for
| nomination in 1919.
] feel that I have right to ask
| all my friends. If necessary, active
| ~ to work to prevent any such
| movement. / should esteem IL a
| genuine calamity if such a move
| ment were undertaken.
| Again thanking you for what
| you have said, and moreover
/ thanking you in advance for fol-
| lowing my wishes in this matter.
as L know you will do, L am, very
| sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Now will Mr.. Roosevelt's LAX
County "admirer" or any one els
kindly inform US why they want hin
to accept third term when out o
his own mouth Mr.. Roosevelt |
shown to have said that it would b
a CALAMITY?

STRONG CHARACTER.

To have strong character is good !;
but it is only means to accomplish
an end.
The inquistion was conducted by
men of resolution; the princes in the
Tower were murdered by man. oil

Nero lay claim to strength of purpose
almost unparalleled, and the two

The travelling man showed admir-
able self control. He did not become
abusive. His whole manner showed
that he was a man of capacity, of
character He was anything but
fresh. He was the last man in the
world who should have become the
victim of such nasty prudery.
The story of the local business
mans rebuke is on the tongues of
scores of people in this locality He
may have thought that he was CIV
ing the appearance of feverish bust
ness activity but everybody who saw
the incident put him down for a
skate.
Courtesy to his patrons simply en-
phasizes his hyprocisy. 1t shows
that he is a gentleman. not by ma
ture but of necessity. Such a man
would be pleasant to lady. customer
and then go home and beat up his
wife. His act was contemplate even
though it was directed to a mere
travelling man.
