An Alluring Contrast.

One of these days, where faint and dry
The grass now fronts fiery sky
Well see the snow piled up in heaps
Or whirling as the north wind leaps,
Along the pavement or the lane;
And frost will deck the window pane
With silvern scenes from fairyland.
Cheer upl What. no! Won't that be
When every breeze that sweeps the hill
Is guaranteed to bring chill.
What vandal voice will dare to raise
A song of melancholy days?
When that grim humo:ist Of note
No more goes forth to rock the boat.
But on thin ice attempts to skate
Cheer upl What, no! Won't that be
great!

G. O. P. SLOW IN ORGANIZING

Ever since last June the Republicans Of the
F1rst Division have been Eddljng around trying to
get National Committeeman Lathrop in the DiVi-
son for the purpose Of calling meeting Of al
Republicans good and true. At various times it has
been reported, from reliable sources, that the
Captain was coming or just about to come, and
to hold all in readiness It looks as il it would be
necessary for the Republicans of the First Diyi-
sion to forget the Captain and just go ahead and
start to organize as is being done in the other
Divisions. For letter from prominent Republic
can in the Fourth Division says: "Lathrop may o.
may not be candidate to succeed himself. He was
elected by democrats voting in a republican pri-
mary, trains with, end we believe votes with the
democrats"

"IT rs REPORTED"

Some one said to us recently cit is reported
IN Juneau that the Alaska Native Brotherhood is
soing to support Doc Walker Of Ketchikan for
Senator and 4. i. Zieger fer Delegate to Congress
On the Democratic ticket. That these two men
have bought the support Of the organization"
Fact Of the matter is this: Walker and Ziegler
during the recent Democratic convention in
Petersburg fought the Juneau gangsters en- the
primary issue The 5hackleford, Donohue-Co
henchnen promising to have the primary law re-
pealed. This was to make certain the rule of the
gang through the convention system. And at the
same time the political highbinders Of Juneau
sought to have the delegates endorse Senator
Dimond for Delegate to Congress. It was pointed
out Immediately following the convention by Tie
Alaskan that the Juneau political What-nots were
gcing to throw their full support to Dimond and
use every trick possible to defeat Ziegcr Enters
George Grigsby with his old dicer in the ring. The
perennial candidate for Delegate to Congress
enters the picture and Juneau is divided against
Ketchikan on the issue. Dimond slips in. That is
the way the cards stacked.
May be. George Grgsby has never been called
political fool, whatever else he might have been
called. Like not he might be the one sliding ir
in spite Of Or perhaps to spite the Juneau pro-
fessional politicians.

PAYMENT NEAR
Judge Sets Feb. 2 to Hear
Presidents Claim.

Steps toward settlement of claims
against the defunct Farmers Trust
Company will be taken soon, accord
ing to Superior Judge Clarence E.
Weir, who announced today that
an appraisal of the banks prop
critics has been completed.
A summary of the appraisal, be-
gun several months ago on petit
ton of Boyd M. Ralston, receiver,
will be made public within ten
days.
Judge Weir has set Feb. as the
date for a hearing to determine
validity of the largest claim against
the insolvent institution
This is the claim of Charles N,
Williams, president Of the bank,
seeking to recover $275,OD0 of his
own money on deposit in the bank
when it closed, May II, 1881.
Depositors and stockholders will
contest Williams claim and will be
represented in the trial by the
banks receiver.
Majority of the banks assets in
cludes mortgages on farm lands
located in Ohio, Wisconsin and
other states. Values of these lands
have been estimated by three ap-
praisers, appointed by Judge Weir.
When the institution closed, these
farm and real estate mortgages
were estimated at $363,0O0. The
receiver refused to place value on
the properties without an appraise-
ment.

KIRKLAND JUDGE
AGAIN IN RACE
Ogden Silent on Impugned
Jurist's Candidacy.

Attorney General James M. Og-
den, who severely criticised the con-
duct of Judge Grant Crumpacker of
Valparaiso, for his conduct of the
Virgil Kirkland case, today refused
to comment on Crumpacker's an
nouncement for reelection.
In making his announcement,
Crumpacker said he would stand on
the Kirkland trial record.
Kirkland, a Gary high school ath-
lete, first was given a life sentence
for the assault murder of Miss Ar
lene braves, Is, during joy-ride
and gin party Then Judge Crum-
packer granted a new trial and
Kirkland then received one to ten
years at the reformatory.
One of the criticisms came from
the fact that the judges son was
one of the defense counsel.
Ogden was appealed to by Gary
citizens in an effort to change the
verdict or obtain a new trial, but
he was unable to find any legal way
to proceed, although expressing dis
gust at the result as gross mis-
carriage of justice"

UTILITY RATES
BOOST CITY'S
SCHOOL COST
Cut Would Increase Fund to
Repair Buildings, Say
Officials.

Utility rates cost the indianapolis
public school system S42,069.32 for
the first six months of the school
year, July / to Dec. /, it was learned
today. OF that about s18. 1855 went
for electric costs.
School officials today refused to
comment on the expenditures for
utility rates, but admitted that g
slash there possible would mean the
transfer of needed funds to the
maintenance ana repair division.
which is struggling to overcome the
unsafe and insanitary" condition
prevailing in many schools.
Water costs for the school system
for the first six months amounted
to S13,658.4O, while gas cost the
schools S1,65666. Telephone bills
were s7,92S.71.
Shortridge Light Bill
The Shortridge high school cleo
trio light bill totaled s1,472.89 for
the six months.
Utility costs probably would be
higher but for the fact that Tech
nical high school produce part of
its own electric power. The Tech
| meal bill, it is understood, was only
about 500 for the first six months.
/ Utility bills are paid from the
operating fund Of the housekeeping
department, and H. F. Osler, super
intendent of buildings and grounds,
also admitted that rate slash
might prove a Godsend."
"A rate cut" he said, might
mean that we could get some money
into our reduced maintenance fund
We certainly could use it. Our
budget merely is taking care of rou-
tine repairs. We just can't get dilap-
idated boilers and unsanitary toilet
equipment replaced"
Behind Painting Program
Osler said today that all schools
should be painted at least every four
years. This year he is forty schools
behind in his program.
Painting the schools is not only a
measure to prevent deterioration,
but a sanitation move. It's unthink-
able to let dust and dirt pile up on
the schools. A painting every four
years should keep the schools in a
reasonably clean condition. With
our limited funds we can't even
come close" said Osler
The Times published a list OF
schools, twenty-nine in all, forty
years old or over When a school
gets forty years old it is a must
proposition to get it painted, or let
it fall apart. Too many are near
that stage"
1t has been intimated in school
circles that the new budget soon will
be made, and that the school board
is preparing for desperate battle
/ to gain funds for the maintenance
division.
