Another Monograph Acceptable

If a request for a phonograph coming from me will help MT Will l.. B. 10 ob- tain one, please consider the request made. IL seems to me that life cannot turn a very pleasant face to the inmates of an almshouse, and perhaps some of your readers would be glad to brighten the weary hours for these, when we re- member it is usually the old or the help less who are compelled to go to such a place. They need cheer if any one does.

WHERE is THAT DOG CRUSADE

Here the city of Hammond is
plunged into the humid weather of
midsummer and there are unmuzzled
dogs running the streets. In prevj-
Gus years the crusade against I'M
muzzled dogs has served to prevent a
single case of rabies from develop
ing.
Furthermore the city is not over
run with mongrel dogs for those
which were not properly cared for
were shot The dog problem has
been properly handled in the past
But this year the police seem to
have let up in their campaign
against unmuzzled dogs. They are to
be seen everywhere. The first thing
the people of this city know there
will be mad dog scare and it will be
necessary for number of people to
take pasteur treatment.
Good results have been obtained
in the past through the energy and
determination of the police in rid

GOT A BAD START.

Declaring that Gov. Marshall has
had an unfortunate start in his cam
paign for the vice-presidency under
the flag of progressive democracy,
the Toledo Blade notes the fate of the
Marshall constitution and then says.
Just how Gov. Marshall will adjust
record of assuming to rule for the
people with professions of belief in
rule by the people. perhaps he him
self does not know at this hour. Ger
tainly the business smacks of reac-
ton. 1t speaks for a political philos-
ophy entirely at variance with demo
crazy. 1t indicates that IL the gov.
ernor is to run as true progressive
he viii have to admit sudden CONVEX
sion." And in spite of what. tbs
situation may seem to demand the
governor admits nothing of the kind

the senate.
The provision of the constitution re-
garding the election Of the president
by the house says respecting the func-
tious of the electoral college and the
house:
The person having the greatest
number Of votes for president shall
be the president. II such number be a
majority of the whole number of elec-
tors appointed. and II no person have
such majority Gin the electoral col
lege) then from the persons having
the highest numbers not exceeding
three on the list of those voted for as
president. the house Of representatives
shall choose Immediately. by ballot,
the president But In choosing the
president the votes shall be taken by
states. the representative from each
state having one vote; a quorum for
this purpose shall consist of a member
or members from two thirds of the
states. and a MAJORITY Of all the
states shall be necessary to a choice"
THE situation would be badly mix
ed. according to my figures, If there
are three leading candidates for the
presidency" said Mr.. Kahn. TT is
probable that no one of them would
receive the majority vote in the cleo
| toral college, and the house would
have to act under the constitution.
Twenty two delegates with republican
leanings would vote for one or the
other of the republican candidates.
An equal number would be cast by
twenty-five democratic states"

Washington, d. c., July 1o.-Con-
sternation seized various statesmen
In Washington when 1t was discovered
that 1t Is possible the next president
may have to be elected by the house
OF representatives and the house In
all probability would be deadloeked
It's queer situation. first called to
the attention of the figuring states
men by Congressman Kahn of Cali
fornia. Here's the outlook:
IL there are two republican candi-
dates the possibilities are that neith-
er a republican nor democratic candi-
date would have the required matori-
ty OF the votes in the electoral col
lege.
The constitution provides, in that
contingency. that the house of repre-
sentatfves shall choose the president,
each state having one vote.
There are Twenty-Five republican
states and twenty-five democratic
states now represented in the house
The result would be a standon.
-Four states would be unable to vote
divided. Further complications ensue
because of the constitution, which
says that the president chosen by the
house shall receive a majority of all
the states
| In event neither the electoral col
lege nor the house is able TO elect, the
senate names a vice president from
the candidates having the highest
votes and he acts as president. The
vice president. however. must be
named by majority OF the votes In

THE WATERwoRKs PROBLEM.

The waterworks system of Ham
rnond is inadequate, inefficient, out
of date and a patchwork proposition
from start to finish Like most
municipal ownership ventures it does
not give the people the service they
pay for. Hammond does not get
water enough to drink, it does not
get enough to supply its needs, the
pressure in the mains Is not suffi-
cient for adequate fire protection or
for service above the second floor
These are facts that everybody knows
to be true.
1t is about time for those who in
fits of temporary alteration are de-
tending the Hammond water works
to quit making people giggle at them
and get down to the cold facts about
the proposition. These facts are that
until the legislature grants the city
of Hammond the right to issue bonds
sufficient to rehabiIitate the entire
water works system the people of
this city will have to put up with un-
satisfactory service.
The Indictment lies against past
and not the present city administra
ton. And in view of the fact that
the supporters of the present make
shift system seem anxious to have
the light of day shed on their propo.
sition the public generally might be

ding the city of its tramp dogs. Why
not keep up the good work.
A good many heads of families
TIMES to the fact that more laxity
along this line has been shown this
year than ever before :.
They say that they are afraid to
permit their children to go out in the
streets for fear that they will be bit
ten by dogs. The mayor should is
sue another proclamation calling for
the muzzling of dogs and then the
annual crusade against those which
remain unmuzzled should begin.
