THE ROOSEVELT OF LOCAL
 POLITICS

That the name of George A. Quigley would be prominently men, toned with realization 10 the local political campaign is not surprising. It was mentioned in 2 sizable fashion recently when the Citizens Property Owners Association had him as lecturer. At that time, it will be remembered, there was talk of starting a third party with Mr. Quiglcy at it's head. What MT. Quig- ley wants with a third party was finally shown when il became known he was lukewarm toward the proposition. It has been shown, also, that running t third party gets the support Of the dlsafcClcd easy enough, but doesn't win elec- lions. < practical cvaluatlou Of the situation reveals that there is lit- tie sense in running a third party unless it has d reasonable chance O., winning something; or unless is prime object is to put dent into some other party.
 When the Epublicans of the city first began discussing rha maEorai layout numerous names found their way into the public prints; and 10 tn. best Of our knowledge tho5" mentioned had their good points What the grand old party appears 10 want this year howcvcr is some body at the head oe the ticket who can swing groups as vel, as ono who is pleasing 10 the background Republicans who vote the ticket either as a habit Or because thgy like the label regardless
 NIT. Quiglcy, through his most e- cent speeches, has doubtless appeal cd to many citizens O. the fifth and sixth ward, where political hlnocu- lars arc consistently turned. 1T tha party managers are satisfied to for get history and line up behind hin. they must he credited with possess ing d greater desire to 8In than to remember the past. That's how 'ji' Republican party ultimately had tl feel with regard 10 Theodore Eoose, welt, who well nigh broke up th' party in 1912 and made speeches 'oI 1t in later years. Nothing that MT Roosevelt said in 1912 was hcic against him later; and If Mr Quig ley runs on the G. 0. r. ticket no body but Democrats will quoto hi speeches when he spent his spar time tclnnG inc city all'aboW tn' other faction.

PATCHING LAME DUCKS

Tn NONcmpef or lnlS year the ma. ton will choose members of the Senate and the House. It is taken for granted that scores of members Of both branches Of the present Congress will be sent to private life
 But these rejected senators and conGressmen will return to Wash ington 10 legislate next December, q month after they have been defeat cd at the polls. They will continue to lesislate until March 4, 1881.
 The new senators and congress- men 10 be elected in November will not take their seats until December, 1881. more than & year after they have been elected,
 A more ridiculous system could scarcely be devised.
 The session of Congress beginning next December, which will include mon defeated at the polls in Novem- ber will be known as the lame duck Congress- The lame ducks arc the gentlemen who have been defeated but who return 10 help make and break laws for one more session of Congress.
 Naturally, they are quite ire sponsble at such times, They can vote as they please, unburdcned by the thought that they must answer 10 the people at the next election for their acts.
 Consequently when legislation that is not altogether in the public interest is to be attempted, 1t Is likely to be put over" during a lame duck session.
 Years ago senator Norris present. cd an amendment 10 the Constltu- ton which would eliminate the lama duck sessions. This amendment pro- yidcs that senators and congress- men. elected in November, shall take their seats the following January. There would be no lame duck ses- sion Of Congress under this amend mcnt.
 The Senate has passed this amendment year after year. It is in the House where it meets snags. There the bosses have consistently preycntcd the Norris amendment from coming to vote.
 The bosses Of the House arc credited with wishing to continu the lame duck system. There prob. ably is method in their madness Republican control of the House if so pronounced that failure 10 take action 10 eliminate the lame duck syetcm must be because they find 1t useful in their methods Of logis- lation.
 There is scarcely 3 question tha' if the amendment 10 eliminate lam duck sessions were put througt antique method that legislature: would ep,cdilv ratify 1t. Publi, sentiment for years has been so ad verse 10 the continuation of thu antisuo method that legislature would be simply forced to reflect l with ratification. No amendment t' . tho Constitution that has ever beei proposed meets with so little oppo silion. It would be a popula 1 amendment.

THE POLITICAL PACKET

In his book, The Great Game of Politics." Frank H. Kent, the out spoken political expert, has q deal 10 say about the political racket. Indeed. when he is through there is scarcely anything left 10 discuss.
 Kcnt's readers never are the same in their attitude toward political machinations and politicians genor- ally. Not that Kent makes one feel con,omptuous; he rather forces ones attitude into one of compla- cent tolerance so long AS the pub lie demands the kind of political show f gets. Some day, perhaps. nhcn there arc enough writers like Kent in ;hc land and their readers include everyone, intelligence will havc risen 10 such a level that the present brand Of domaco2y will be ono c, the aujiqucs O. history

SENATOR'S RESENT
 HOOVER ATTITUDE
Complain They Are Not Con-
 suited Before Appointments

Washington, Feb. q UP)--Re. publican leaders in the senate are resentful over President Hoovcr's frequent failures to consult them regarding appointments 10 public office.
 Although presidents usually ad- wise on patronage matters with scn- ate party leaders, Mr. Hoover has not consulted some of them who were interested in important recent selections, it was learned today.
 The inside story Of recent major appointments, including that Of Charles Evans Hughes to be chief justice Of the United States, was told the United Press today by creditable authorities.
 Given j Minutes Notice
 It was less than five minutes be. fore the Hughes appointment waa announced at the White House that q republican leader received lnowl- edge Of it. This came by telephone from a White House attachc, who said:
 "Wc are announcing the appoint. ment and 1 suppose 1t will Dc all right with you,"
 The swiftncss of the selection and the failure to consult republican senators prevented him from sug- gcsting the names of prominent jur- sts in their home states. With con . grcssional clcctio-s coming on in November ard several republican senators facing very stiff fights. this opportunity would have enabled them to strengthen their political positions at home, even if the presi- dent intended to select MT. Hughes.
 Several senators interested were not consulted about the selection ot Hugh Nj. Tate, Knoxville, Tenn, at torncy, to the interstate commerce commission. He was confirmed yes tcrday although they had candidates for the post.
 Practice Is Frequent
 Several weeks before that the | White House sent to the senate for confirmation late ono afternoon the names of Robert M. Jones, Knox vile attorney, and Joseph B. East man of Massachusetts, as members Of the commission. The chairman of the senate interstate commerce. committee, who is usually consult. cd at length by the president if such matters, because he mus, champion the cause for their con l hrmation, was advised less than hal m hour before the names wcrl submitted. He was not given tho names. but only the assurance tn men would be acceptable 10 him Jones was not known in the senate and later his name was withdraw Il

It doesn't take long for Ameri-
cans to wake up to a good thing
only a few months ago KruS-
chen Salts were introduced into
this country and the welcome
news of their superior goodness
and swift rejuvenating power
travelled so fast that at one time
the supply was many carloads
behind the demand.
All of which goes to prove that
Americans know good salts when
they take them and want their
friends to benefit also.
KruSchen Salts are taken for
their health building value all
over the world-they are the larg-
est selling medicinal salts IN
Great Britain today.
Kruschen Salts are different
from other SaltS-KruSchen is six

man body at the beginning Of
creation and demands you keep
them there or your health won't
be as good as it should be.
