SAM AND HIS CANDIDACY.

Note the unique influence that
politics has on some men.
Here is Sam Ableman running for
mayor of Hammond on an independ-
ent ticket and actually telling peo-
pie in his most picturesquely en-
phatic way that he is sure to be
elected
We'll you just bet / am going to
be the next mayor of Hammond.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, .
vehemently asserted Mr.. Ableman
yesterday to a friend in a Hammond
buffet
Samuel, armed with a handful OF
gold coins. jingling in his breeches
pocket is going up and down the city
making his boasts in no uncertain
way.
On the outskirts the spectacle Of
Sam lining them up in the rear OF
some structure where drygoods are
not sold. He harangues the guileless
|foreign-born and with his subter.
|ranean voice rumbles aloud.
"Ill be the next mayor. They

Well go to 1t Sam here's looking

GR0M THE TINES OWN INDIANAPOLIS BURFhlD

1t is said that Governor Ralston set
a precedent when he entered the In
dianapolis city campaign and that no
other Indiana governor ever did the
like before. Not long ago the local
democratic organization sent distress
call to Taggart and French Lick and
he has made three visits to this city
since then to give his powerful assis-
lance in trying to elect Bell. 1t is the
belief here that a similar cry of dis
tress was made in the direction of
the governors office, and that the
governor responded in the hope that
he might help to stem the tide that
has set in against the election of Bell
and the success of the machine. Chas.
A. Bookwalter, republican candidate
for mayor, in referring to the speech
of Ralston. said that he had no more
justification for entering the Indian
apolis campaign for Bell than he
would have for going TO South Bend
to speak for Pat Joce, or to Terre
Haute to speak for Dom Roberts, both
of whom were nominated for mayor
by the same influences that nominated
Bell in this city. This talk of Book
walters has taken root, and there are
indications that it will effectually neu-

had by Caesars wife-but that
cleanliness of deed that characterizes
a municipal official who believes ne
has a duty to the people who put
him In office and not to the privilege
seeking politicians who want to use
him.
These pap-suckers fail to realize
that 1t is the peoples money that is
buying them bread and butter and
automobiles. The people are deserv-
ing of something when they put
their hands In their pockets to pay
salaries to public officials.
Heaven pity the politician when
the people of this broad land realize
the power they have in the ballot
that is put In their hands.

Bookwalter. Many of them said they
were progressives last year.
One thing is certain, and that is
that whatever candidate gets the bulk
of the colored vote this year will at
least run second in the race, and this
appears to be the one principal OBJ
ject of both the Republicans and the
Progressives. Both sides realize that
the one that runs third will be down
and out for long time to come, and
they hope to side-step this calamity.
There are from 5000 to 5000 colored
voters in indianapolis. and they always
were nearly unanimously republicans
until last year. Republican poll TAX
ers say, however, that many of these
negroes have announced their inten-
ton of voting for Bookwalter, and
that the progressives are scared at
the prospect On the other hand the
progressives express confidence in the
colored vote. So there you are. Bell
will get but few of them.
IT is known that the democratic ma
chine is deeply interested in the In
dianapolis election, for it would be a
sad blow If Bell, one of its leading
members, was defeated. That's why
everything possible is being done to
win here, even to calling in the gov

IS MAN SINKING TO SECOND
PLACER

The feminist movement is grow
ing with such leaps and bounds in
the minds of people who look below
the surface of conditions that it is
no longer thing to be ridiculed or
sneered at. The Joliet Herald puts
this very pointedly when it says:
Efforts of the women to attain
equality with men have long furnish
ed more or less hilarious amusement
TO men ,serne and satisfied with their
sense of natural superiority. But
the laugh is shifting to the other
side.
so long as the women meekly
confessed their inferiority by making
their pleas for equality to superior
man and left him as sole arbiter, they
were amusing. But now they have
taken the case out of the hands of
such prejudieed judges and taken it
into higher court from which there
can be no appeal.
"A census bulletin sets forth mod
testify and concisely the portentous
fact that in this country as a whole
illiteracy is less among women from
the ages Of 10 TO "a than among men.
Here is something to cause self
satisfied and serene man suddenly to
sit up and take notice.
1.-THE census report further de-
clares:
The changes which are now in
progress point to the coming of a
time when females of ali ages will be
less illiterate than men,
| when that time comes what is to
become of mans complacent assump
ton Of superiority?
| What will be his chance in the
contest for supremacy with a Sc,
better equipped mentally and will
all the subtle advantages of learnins
against him?
| Women, with superior intelli
gence, will no longer ask him fol
equality. but deny him it.
Surely it is time for man to cease
swelling with pride over his self-as
serted superiority and seriously de

AT STATE CAPITAL.

AT STATE CAPITAL.
indianapolis Ind, Oct 17-For the
first time in the history of the state
as far as the memory of the oldest
Inhabitants reaches back, a governor
OF Indiana has descended from the
dignity of his office as chief executive
to help In campaign for the election
OF mayor of Indianapolis. Governor
Ralston made a speech the other night
In behalf of Joseph E Bell, the demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, and this
action on the part of the governor has
aroused much comment because of
the fact that the same Taggart ma
chine that nominated Bell for mayor
nominated and elected Ralston COVER
nor and the same machine that is now
SO firmly intrenched in the state
house, would, in case of the election
of Bell, be as firmly settled in the In
dianapolis city hall.
The appearance of the governor in
the city campaign has renewed the
talk that he is firmly fixed as a
part of the machine that when asked
to help another member OF the same
machine he could not refuse.

cation each year, Justice of the Peace
Huber, of Gary, has managed to hear
10000 cases in six years. Yet some
judges sitting in higher courts. with
fat salaries, work but a few hours a
day, a few days in the week, take long
vacations several times a year, neglect
court to hang around the legislature
and then complain that more judges
are needed because of congested dock
cts. Instead of the lower courts mod
cling after the upper courts, it would
be well for some of the upper courts
to pattern after the lower courts.

ONE YEAR AGO.

One year ago today, Billy Rugh.
the crippled newboy who sold THE
TIMES in Gary, laid down his life
that Ethel Smith might live.
When Billy died there was great
talk of erecting memorial tablets,
great fountains, naming parks after
him, setting up hospital beds in his
memory and what not? grateful
city was to give a tribute to the hero
whose story Travelled around the
world.
A year has passed and Billy Rugh
has been honored-with only the
newspaper item that recalls his
memory.
