Charges Of all sorts have been hurled
at the host. Visitors were lot lodged
comfortably, and many not lodged at
all. The fat of the land was not in
evidence ON any table. Prices for
everything SCARED. Profteers in
platoons roamed at will, and took
what they wanted. The weather was
a persecution. The meeting hall met
rome Of the requirements, and was
especially deficient in its acoustics.
And so on.
There are always exaggerations in
the business, both for and against.
No city, no matter how admirably
appointed, could redeem the "paper"
of it's eulogists put out in its behalf
at bidding time, and no city, however
deficient, could fall down with such
an assignment as completely as has
sometimes been alleged. This is gen.
orally understood. Hence all the e1-
aggerations, pro and con, pertaining
to one convention are forgotten be-
fore another, four years later, is or
dered and helds and so the old game
is repeated with the same old guests.
If too much is promised, too much
is expected. A convention for the
fashioning of a national platform
and the nomination of a presidential
ticket attracts an enormous crowd,
and does its work under whip and
SOUR. Hullabaloo is feature of the
occasion. Perfect comfort and regu-
larity are out of the question. Such
a milling process from first to last
does not admit of either comfort or
economy. The thing to do is to
churn along with the layout and en-
joy the show.
New York never bids for one of
these meetings. She is too big-and
admits it. The last convention she
entertained was in 1868, half CEN
tury ago, when Seymour and Blair
were nominated by the democrats,
and decisively beaten at the polls by
Grant and Collar.

Political National Conventions.

A number of cities are soliciting
the honor Of entertaining the next
democratic national convention, and
next month, when the democratic ma
tional committee meets in this town
to award the honor, their claims upon
attention will be deliberately and elo-
quently set forth.
On such an occasion many things
are promised and vowed in the name
of an applicant. All visitors shall be
treated fairly and considerably. All
shall be lodged comfortably. All
shall be fed on the fat of the land.
Prices shall be fright" If a prof.
iteer is caught and exposed, he shall
be shot on the spot. The weather
shall be such as to meet the wishes
of the most exacting-not too hot,
not too cold. The meeting hall shall
be large enough, and arranged, up
stairs and down, SO as to stage an i'm
pressive picture.
/. Invariably after the event, how
ever, there has been complaint.

Experience in Office.
A dispatch from Laredo, Tex,

A dispatch from Laredo, Tex, says:
"A movement has been started by
the legislature of Vera Cruz to ask
the Mexican congress to prohibit
more than one term in office for dep
mites in the national congress, accord
Ing to Ell Universal of Mexico City.
Other states have been asked to join
the movement, which, the newspaper
says, also would prohibit state legis-
Iators from becoming candidates for
election to the national legislative
body"
If this is sample of the condition
Of the Mexican mind as respects
Mexican affairs, need we longer won
der at the disorder and the lack of
progress in that country!
Can the Mexican dispense with ex-
perience in public servantsa Here in
America the opposite course has been
pursued. Experience in all branches
Of tho governments work has been
rewarded.
In legislative work particularly has
this been true. Our town councils
have often been training schools fol-
our state legislatures, and state leg
islatures training schools for Con-
gress, with the most excellent re-
suits. In this way, men have learned
the legislative trade thoroughly, so to
say. They have passed from ap-
prentices to master hands-have been
set over big things after showing
themselves competent over little
things.
And after reaching the top-Con
gress-and showing class there, they
have been kept in commission a LONG
time. The present leader of the Sen
ate majority has been a member OF
the Senate since 1s93-twenty-s 81,
years. The recent leader of the mi
nority-the late Mr.. Martin-ha6
served in the Senate for twenty foul
. years. The present majority leader
= ,of the House has some twenty year.

Chronic Criminals.

Four men were released from the
Toledo, Ohio, Jail early Christmas
morning by a gang of half a dozen
eonfederates. Every one Of these
prisoners had long criminal record.
One man had served part of term
for safe robbery and had been par
doned, but recently was convicted in
Toledo of manslaughter and sentenced
for twenty years. Another is known
to the police of many cities as thief,
having at least six aliases; he was in
Jail for stealing quantity of silk.
A third man had served terms for
various crimes in different parts of
the country and was held in Toledo
for carrying concealed weapons. The
fourth had, perhaps, the most unsav-
DRY record of the quartet; in 1917 he
was given a nineteen-year sentence
in New York for holding up a gam
bling resort, served a few months and
escaped; he was later involved in q
crime in Chicago and escaped, being
caught in Toledo and returned to Chi
cago, where he jumped his bail and
went back to Toledo, where recently
he was involved in a brawl in a low
resort in which a woman was killed.
An organization has existed for a
number of years known as the Police
Chiefs Association, which promotes
the interests of justice in the identi-
fication Of fugitive criminals and the
speedy extradition of wanted" man
to the jurisdiction Of the charge
against him. 1t has worked well and
proved the need of the closest CO.
operation to fight crime in this 'coun-
try. Identification methods have
been standardized. Records are ex-
changed. 1t is hard for a man who
breaks the laws to get away for long,
within the confines of the country.
Yet, as this Toledo Jail delivery shows,
men are able to defy the laws and to
remain free after escaping from
prison. Their successive crimes do
not count heavily against them. The
man who dumped" Sing Sing and
later was sent to Chicago from Toledo
was released on bail, which he vio-
lated.
An interstate judicial system is
needed, supplementing the unofficial
Police Chiefs Association. Courts
should scrutinize the criminal records
of all brought before them, to deter
mine whether or not they are chronic
lawbreakers. Such men should be
put away for long terms. They are
a menace to society. Prison does not
cure them, evidently, nor is parole
effective. If they cannot be cured
of their criminal habits they should
be kept in close custody, and the laws
should be so written in the states as
to permit the courts to fix the terms
of their sentences to accord with the
length of their criminal records else.

Just now experience in legislative
work is rated at a high figure, not
only because there is a great deal of
it to be done, but because much of
it must be shaped on new Lines. The
man familiar with legislative process
es, and with record for getting re-
suits, looks good, both to his party
and to the country.
Next year, in our affairs, this old
policy will be tested again. The
present Congress is charged with
some highly important duties, but IT
cannot make more than a start with
some of the questions it will take up.
Its successor must carry on, and IN
order to do so successfully must know
the ropes. Hence, those senators and
representatives who offer for renomi-
nation and reelection will stress their
length of service and what it has
brought them of knowledge and ex-
perience in the handling of legis-
lative affairs.
Things are in rapid motion every
where; and Mexico is in the whirl
along with the other nations. A pol
icy penalizing experience in public
men seems hardly the one for adop-
ton anywhere, and not likely Of
adoption by any of the nations whose
past progress has been marked.

Sounding Home Sentiment.

Those senators and representatives
who aspire to succeed themselves in
Office are likely to improve their fort
night at home by sounding home SEN
timent on the subject of legislation.
Senator's will sound with special re-
gard to the peace treaty and the rail
roads, and representatives with spe-
cial regard to the latter.
Both of those subjects are still open,
and both upon the reassembling of
Congress will engage attention.
The Senate is on record as respects
both. 1t has passed, upon the peace
treaty and upon the Cummins bill.
The treaty, unratifed, is still with
the Senate, while the Cummins bill is
in conference.
Strong pressure will be brought to
bear for the framing of reservations
to the treaty which will make the pact
acceptable to both sides. 1t is be-
isved that this can be done. At any
rate, the matter is under such earnest
discussion, senators will be we'll ad-
vised if they inform themselves dur
ing the holiday recess of how the
home folks felt about it.
As to the railroad question, both
House and Senate have passed upon
that, the House having a bill of its
own to keep the Cummins bill com
pany in conference.
As matters stand, the railroad ques-
tion, in popular interest, tops the
peace treaty. The people are much
concerned about transportation. 1t
strikes home everywhere. The rail
roads are the tie that binds. They
bring the states together, and enable
them to do business with one another
to the comfort and profit and protec-
ton of all. 1t is of the highest ma
tional moment that they be well and
safely operated.
While both House and Senate in
discussing the question when it was
mp developed it pretty thoroughly,
there may be considerable debate left.
II the conferees should fail to agree,
Or bring in an agreement not. alto
gether acceptable to the House or the
Senate, or to either, discussions of
m animated sort might be resumed
IN both chambers.
For this reason, and the additional
reason that the. present may be the
last chance of these legislators to
confer in person with their constitu-
ents before nomination time arrives,
We may expect that they will not
neglect it. We may expect, too, that
what they learn at home will have
weight. A hot campaign is ahead for
every candidate for Office next year.
Tho country will be stirred to the
center. The vote will be brought out,
and rs the electorate has been en-
lafged by the enfranchisement of
millions of women, the vote will be
the heaviest ever thrown in this coun-
try. A man asking for an Office of
any degree, high or low, will have to
look alive in his campaign.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Next!
Old Santa Claus has done his best,
regardless of his food and rest,
to meet the customary test that
comes at Christmastide;
He kept his chimney corner dates,
where stockings numerous, and
not mates, absorb the toys by
bales and crates, which he
transports with pride.
The time is short for all his fun,
The public must allow.
The many things he hasn't done
Are up to Congress now.
Old Santa couldn't bring a plan to
beat the pro6teering man nor
make his sleigh a moving van,
that leads to rents, less high.
He couldn't take the railroad trains
and bring both industry and
brains to soothe the suffering
public's pains. He wouldn't
even try.
He is a simple, kindly elf,
Who hates general row.
The work he couldn't do himself
Is up to Congress now.

This community feels an cspecia,
/ loss in the death of Mrs. Livingston,
Coming to Hand county in the early
pioneer days with her parents. she
grew to ~womanhood upon a farm in
| Alpha township. She married George
Livingston on October 31st. 1891 and
the family have resided in or near
Miller ever since.
Quiet, unassuming. but lovable al
ways. she spent her life as girl. wife
and mother in a community that will,
long remember and cherish her for
her sunny disposition and cheerful
acceptance of life's many burdens.
Life Is short at the best for all of us.
and the sadness of death can never be
softened. Were it not for that divine
spark we call love which burns i'm the
hearts of men and women. the trials
and tribulations of human life would
scarcely be worth while. But the
love OF a good oma leaves it's i'm
press upon the community in which
she lives, makes us forget the strife
and turmoil, the jealousies and bitter
ness, the suffering and sorrow attend
ant upon the daily and yearly toll of
life. 1t fashions the child mind to a
life of sunny optimism and love OF
humanity. 1t guides, enthuses and

shoulders every hardship and sacri-

Ida Livingston lived a life full of
that divine love as wife and devoted
mother. No pioneer on earth can re-
