FEDERAL BUILDING
ON WAITING LIST
Brattleboro One of Many Disappointed
Towns and Cities Because Of Lack
of Augmentation.


Postmaster Kittredge Haskins has re-
turned from Washington, where he went
in the hope that he could find some
chance hidden away that Brattleborc
might have a federal building in the rea.
sonably near future. He said this morn,
ing that the hope is pretty thoroughly
dissipated.
Brattleboro. as has been told in Wash
| ington special dispatches, is one of -
places where federal buildings were to
have been erected and has been set back
in the list because of the need for addi-
tional funds with which to build them.
All of these places, because of this need,
| lost their standing IN the original list
and are now grouped together in second
place
The postmaster, knowing the ropes as
he does from long experience in Wash
! ington as congressman, called upon the
| supervising architect, but got no encour-
agement there as that official told him
! that he was at standstill with h1s
work, owing to lack of an appropriation
from which to pay his draughtsmen.
Sherman Allen Of Burlington. assistant
secretary of the treasury and IN charg
of appropriations. for government build
| ings, was another official visited, and he
saw no way in which he could help as
| there was no appropriation for the mil
lion and half that will be required fnr
the % buildings and nothing could he
done until such an appropriation Is
made
Mr. Haskins had pleasant chat with
| Nice-President Marshall, a SD degree
Mason, whom Mr. Haskins met at Bos
ton last year He expressed the hope
that they would meet again at Philadel
phia two years hence when the supreme
convention is held in that city

WHAT ABOUT THISs

George Parker was ground to death
under the wheels of an Erie freight
train Monday night. Had Parker
been where he belonged, in the in
sane asylum or the penitentiary, there
would have been one less tragedy.
The man about year and half
ago shot and killed his housekeeper
while in a drunken frenzy. He was
not punished for his crime, as it was
declared he was insane. However

his release and it failed to prevent

We fear that hlzzoner, the Hon
Tom Knots, prince royal of Gary
will upset social traditions by the re-
oeption that isfbeing rendered to him
tomorrow night by the admiring pc.

Although the Gary ruler is to be
the guest of honor he has taken upon
himself the duties of designating the
proper costume.
y 1t need not be full dress for men
nor evening dress for the ladies.
Thusly, hizzoner demoralizes the
social traditions of the steel city. Al

claims how ill-ftted he was to bear
the responsibilities his position i'm
posed.
IL seems unique circumstance
that in Parker's position could be sc
situated that it is possible for such a
tragedy as that of Monday night to
occur Why was not Parker either
hanged. or confined in the peniten-
tiary of an insane asylum long ago
II Oh sound mind one of the former, ii
not the latter disposition should have
been made of him.
All OF this furnishes food for
thought as to what is the matter with
the administration OF justice, or the
responsibility of the authorizes re-
garding the care of irresponsible per-
sons, intake county and what of a
corporation that permitted a lunatic
to guard a crossing?
The freeing of John Katara who
killed his victim with an air hose. is
another instance of how lightly is re-
garded the taking of human life in
this locality. If there is now law tic

was made. Possibly Katara did no;

plea might be entered in any case oil

worthy of the same consideration.

is IT SIGNIFICANT?

We don't know whether there Is
any connection between two incidents
that have taken place in Gary lately
but the facts are:
That Prosecuting Attorney ]. A
Patterson was. fnaugurated into office
last week
Ihat an edict was put in force by
the democratic administration to
carry out what is known as golden

SIMPLICITY9 PIFFLE!

1t will doubtless be a great shock
to the Jefferson Club of Hammond as
we'll as to others who have become
obsessed with the idea that the honor
ed Thomas Jefferson was a plain man
to learn that simplicity and Jefferson
were as wide apart as the negative
and positive poles.
A lot of democrats when they pic
ture Jefferson in their minds eye
think of him as some horny-handed
his pie with a knife, had hayseed in
his whiskers and wiped his nose by
drawing the back of his hand beneath
it.
This idea of Jeffersonian simplicity
is getting to be somewhat of bore.
The only genuine Jeffersonian
really cherishes it, that such a thing
ever existed outside of the fairy tales
of politics.
Thomas Jefferson was one of the
most accomplished men of his age, an
athlete, horseman, shot, q
dilettante, a violinist, interested in a
hundred arts and sciences and ele-
gancies, from dancing and dining tic
agriculture, architecture and land
scape gardening and forestry as has
been pointed out. He capered il
nimbly with the girls in the COVER
nor's palace at Williamsburg. Aft
erward he became familiar with ths
most polished society of Europe. IL

has been exposed as many times a

settled in 1901 Jefferson's accession
was celebrated by more bands an,
