WHERE M'HARG is.

The Lake County TIMES make the
inquiry
I'm the meantime where's pre-
cious Ormsby McHarg2"
The best reply, perhaps, to this in.
quiry is the following press telegram
from New York:
New York. July 1.-Ormsby
McHarg, one of the Roosevelt
managers, and who handled the
Roosevelt contests before the ma
tional committee. Saturday de-
clared that he would not join in a
revolt against the republican par
ty. McHarg said he would remain
regular and support President
Taft.
He said: I never was connected
officially with the Roosevelt cam
paign, but took IL pthe work much
against my inclinations. on the
solicitation of very close friends.
After the convention 1 severed my
connection with the movement.
There is no feeling of resent
ment.' continued McHarg. Mr..
Roosevelt would have been much
better OFF IL left alone to work out
his own destiny. When they got
out to Chicago he was retarded by
persons who did him more harm
than good, who insisted that
everything Imaginable be done,
and who wanted all the glory
themselves.
Well they got the glory without
the victory. To tell the truth,
there are many things which will
be told some time about this whole
affair. At the same time 1 don't
believe his managers will try to
get very far with the third party
movement.
'They haven't the power to build
up the organization necessary, nor
are there the men behind the
movement to put it through"

DIsREsPEcT FOR THE LAW.

''Indiana's laws are antedated and
antiquated. Mayor Knots of our
city has made about the same re-
Elections on the antiquated state
constitution and on the arrested de-
velopment of the state lawmakers.
He says Indiana lawmakers while
intelligent men, shape their statutes
for villages and small cities which
have attained their growth and a
city like Gary has no show.
".............. The chief bust
ness of an active official is a grow
ing modern city like Gary is to dodge
the antediluvian laws which he finds
ION the statute books of the state. -

The law is good enough for the
rest of US. If hizzoner would pay
less attention to lodging the law he
wouldn't have TO spend to much time

wATTERsoN AND WILSON.

Six months ago Col. Watterson
had this to say about Woodrow Will
son:
He who could show himself so dis
loyal to private friendship can not be
trusted to be loyal to anything.
Within a single year Governor Will
sons radical change of base, his re-
alignments and readjustments, per-
sonal and political, his offenses to
SO some and apologies to others, have
been exactly concurrent with his sell
fish aims. There seems no abasement
into which he is unable to descend
with equal facility and grace. May
God protect Democracy from such a
leader and such leadership"
In spite of the devout wish thus
expressed by the editor of the sCour-
ier-Journal. Wilson, by the grace of
William Jennings Bryant would
harrow Watterson's feelings unduly
to suggest higher power-was made
official head of the Democratic party.
Yet Col. Watterson, loyal to his party
through many years. will swallow
the nauseous dose held to his lips and
remain loyal. But he wishes 1t dis
tinctly understood that 1t is the par
ty, not the man, that he will work
for. He says:

Governor Wilson without what was

trust him. But bear him no malice,

in the schoolreom. | can easily con-
ceive how such man may do what a

LEARN SPANISH.

The young man who is striving to
learn and to improve his spare mo-
ments can according to Consul Gen
eral A. A. Winslow formerly of Ham
mond, make it very valuable by
studying the Spanish language. The
Baltimore American says:
''One of the conundrums over
which our statesman, boards of trade
and business promoters generally
have been puzzling is as to why
Great Britain and Germany are sell
ing more goods in the South Ameri-
can markets than the United States,
and, secondarily, as to how we can
reverse this improperly balanced
system of trade. It is generally
agreed that American manufacture
ers who desire to reach the South
Great Britain and Germany have
been extensively doing-they must
send an army of trade agents into
the South American field who not
only know the good points of the
American goods which they will BIZ
offering. but who can speak concern
ing those good qualities In the Span
ish language.

A PROGRESSIVE MOVE.

music boxes and grand opera records
which are to be placed in several of
the schoolrooms this fall.
This is a new innovation and 1t is
a good one. Good music and the

And these happy chimes that lie
Where day never shuts his eye,
Up to the board fields of the skyB
There L suck the liquid SIR
All amidst the garden fair
Along the crisped shades and bowers
ReveIs the spruce and jocund spring
There eternal summer dweils
And west winds with musky wing
About the cedarn alleys fling
Nard and cassia's balmy smells.
Iris there with humid bow,
Waters the odorOus banks that blow
Flowers of more mingled hue
Than her purified scarf can show,
And drenches with Eiysian dew
Beds of hyacinths and roses.
