NeWs-I1mes Special Service:
ELKHART. Feb. I1.-While not
willing to go on record as predict
ing that the city is certain to get
S0-cent gas when the new rate is
established. Commissioner Davidson
said Thursday that he has hopes that
this rate may be secured.
He says the board Of works is ex-
pecting to receive word from the
state public service commission at
any time that the matter is TO be
taken up. While the announcement
that the gas rate was TO be con-
sidered prior 10 May /" may have
given the impression that nothing
probably would be done before that
time, Mr.. Davidson says the gas COM
pany is anxious 10 have the rate
question settled as soon as possible
and is urging an early consideration
of it. The present rate is $1.15 net.
The board of works intends at its
meeting tomorrow TO adopt a resolu-
ton requiring that before new addi-
tions 10 the city will be accepted
streets and walks must be graded on
lines established by the city engi-
neer
This resolution will carry out rec
concentrations made by Engineer
Russell year ago and which re-
ceived the approval of the council.
Recent difficulties experienced by
the engineer in establishing grades
in addition which were accepted be-
fore grades were established led to
the decision 20 act at this time. as
application are on file with the board
for the acceptance of new additions,
some OF which have not been graded
Past experience has proven, it is
pointed out, that no sooner are new
additions accepted than the owners
ask the city for gas, water, light and
other improvements, and in most
cases the revenues derived from taxes
on these additions is insufficient 10
pay the cost of the improvements de-
manded.
A man who has been active in the
real estate business in Elkhart for
over 20 years said today that the
new rule" was highly desirable, and
declared he always thought 1t was
required by an ordinance Of long
standing-that, in fact, he had never
offered but one addition for accept
ance until the streets had been
graded. The exception. he said, was
for peculiar reasons and was at the
time regarded as a complimentary
suspension of the ordinance he
believed in existence.

A APOLITICAL
FORECAST

The spirit of conciliation is strong
however, and very much in edidence.
The exceptionally prominent and po-
tent position in which the Unitee
States is placed in regard to world
politics and possibilities demands
that an exalted patriotism should be
conceded the foremost place in any
scheme of personal duty or affection.
In this spirit it is easily conceiva-
BILE that the big men on either side
of the line will yield much of any per
sonal desire or opinion for what they
deem the best interests of the State
and the larger good of all its citi
Zens.
The three great names in the or
der of their apparent strength and
standing with the American electo-
rate are Roosevelt, Root and Hughes
The two former have already num-
ber of instructed delegates and others,
too, who stand committed as favor
able, tho uninstructed.
The attitude of Justice Hughes re-
fleets, and perhaps very properly So
the dominant characteristics of the
Sphinx But his friends and support
ers are insistent. Doubtless he'll have
to break the silence soon.
The ex-president no doubt carries
an enormous amount of popular SEN
timent and at the same time more
than one mans share of the most
bitter and yenomous hatred.
1t is impossible that this should be
otherwise, for no other man in the
republic has so persistently broken
precedents and violated traditions in
the interest of the fundamental ideals
of justice and humanity. He is the
veritable Stormy Petrol of American
life and politics.
He has not required that man be
big and white to secure his sympathy
he might be black, but in either case
he had of necessity to be right and
''have his quarrel just"
One Of these men will, in all proba
bility, be the standard bearer to break
political lance with the present oc
cupant of the White House, that is if
the spirit of conciliation prevails. If
it does not and personal differences
be insistent, as was the case in 1912
then from the three names mentioned
may be selected two, each of whom
will be the nominee of his party for
election to the highest office within
the gift of the American people.
Should this happen, We'll all, like
good and loyal patriots, step up and

With the big political conventions
but a little more than month dis
tant, the quadrennial battle for the
control and direction of the domestic
affairs and foreign policies of the
government may be considered well
under way.
The interests and anxieties when
hedge about the gathering of these
important bodies are at this time far
in excess of normal.
The ordinary four year national
event develops only two questions oil
commanding Importance; each OF
them centering in the speculation as
to the probable nominee of the Re-
publicans and that of the Democrats.
At this time one of these questions
is eliminated thru the generally con-
cerned nomination by the Democrats
of the present incumbent
In its place there has, however,
been interposed, thru the develop
ment and continuance of extraordi-
nary conditions a question OF such SUI
preme Importance, that its answer one
way or another may be taken to fore
shadow the political complexion OF
the government for the next four
years.
That question is: Will Republl-
cans and Progressives conciilate oll-
serences; discover common GROUND
rpon which they can stand and py
forming a solid wedge of loyal Re-
publicanism make victory sure in the
battle of the ballots next November!
It is encouraging to note that every
indication seems to point to the
achievement of this result. The po-
litical stage is being stud1ouly anu
skillfully set. Scenic and property de-
