WHY JOYCE FOR 'MAYOR Under the provisions of the pri mary election law candidates for mayor and other city officials for 3outh I3cnd are to put In nomination A.uu?t 6. While all tho office for which can didates arc thus to be nominated are Important, that of mayor is pre-em-Iiintly so. It behooves thoughful citizens to scrutinize sharply and thorouchly the claims to fitness and capability of every man aspiring" to this all-lmport-smt o'llcc. Fouth Bend made wonderful progress during the past quarter of a century. Hence there Is a pro nounced demand for a mayor who shall have a broad grasp of municipal needs and opportunities and who will have the courage and ability to see that the needs are supplied and the opportunities taken advantage of. No man who sees in the office merely a means of personal gratification or who would, if elected, be under the- Influ ence of selfish combination or cor poration interests, deserves any con sideration at the hands of the public. South Bend has been doing big things and Mill has big things to do. The people will suffer an Immeasurable loss if they permit any man who does not grade up to the requirements to obtain the office of mayor. It is es sential that the successful candidate shall be lacking neither in energy and c-apaclty nor in devotion to the public interests when the public Interests and the Interests of private corporations conflict. That la a vital point for the public to. keep in mind, and It will be well for every aspirant for the office to review his record to see whether it will stand such a test before the vot ers. Simply being a "clever fellow," or a "hall fellow well met" does not answer the purpose. The candidacy of Patrick A. Joyce la based upon a widespread knowledge of his fitness and qualification and a popular demand for his nomination. It Is an Incontrovertible fact that ho decided to become a candidate only after satisfying himself that he was wanted that untrammeled public sentiment ran unmistakably in his fa vor. Patrick A. Joyce is a plain, modest, unpretentious man. Weil equipped mentally and educationally, he Is qualified to grapplw with any subject likely to come before tho mayor for decision or ' solution. He does not Jump at conclusions; It Is his rule to think- deeply and earnestly before de ciding or acting. He combines de llberatcncss with fixity of purpose. First he must know a proposition to be right, then follow conclusion and decision. Ho is a staunch advocate of Justice. Injustice is hateful to him. He is a firm believer in honesty and integrity In private life and in public service; hence his natural aversion to dis honesty and trickery. To use the power and authority of public office to promote purely personal and sel fish ends Is In his eyes abhorrent and indefensible. He holds the exercise of the taxing power to have Its justification only In the Judicious and economical ex penditure of public funds not simply for paying the salaries of those serv ing the municipality in an official capacity but to provide such facilities for public comfort, convenience and beneficent purposes as may better bo Fiipplled governmentally for the com munity at large than individually for purely personal enjoyment. Everybody has use for our superb water works. All have opportunity to enjoy the splendid park system de veloped under our present administra tion. The efficiency of our fire de partment daily serves as a safeguard against the ravages of the fire tind. The education of the youth Is amply provided for throughout the city. The board of health is ever mindful of the city's sanitation. All these, to gether with the police department, are intended for community purposes, as are the streets, alleys and sidewalks throughout the city. Mr. Joyce entered upon his Indus trial career by working on what is now the Geo. G. Hepler scientific farm in Clay township. Thereafter he learned the trade of a machinist In the Sibley fc Ware establishment, con tinuing therein as a master mechanic, covering a period of .ten years. Knowledge thus gained will not come amiss in administering the practical affairs of the city government. In his legislative capacity he proved himself at ull times vigilant and pro gressive. It was upon his Insistence that the universal transfer system on the city railway was established. It was he who put through the common council an ordinance requiring over head wires to be placed underground. His attitude toward corporation ex actions is Illustrated by his action in resisting to the utmost the demand of the local Gas Company In seeking and obtaining a fifty year extension of Its franchise fifteen years before Its ex piration Patrick A. Joyce and Henry C Morgan being the only councllmen voting In opposition to that act of un warranted favoritism. This being an age of progress and advancement it Is by no means im probable that other public conven iences may be demanded to promote the general welfare. These may thus be provided either by the municipality direct or through corporate bodies op erating under a city franchise. With in a short time general heating fa cilities may be as much In popular favor as now are facilities for illumin ating purposes. In a factory town like South Hend the conviction that the physical well-being of mankind Is a matter of public concern may ere long render Imperative the establishment of a public r.atorium where persons who have no bathing facilities at their humble homes may be afforded op portunity to cleanse themselves from the sweat and Impurity incident to doing hard work In shop, factory or elsewhere. Ideas as to governmental functions are steadily changing from bruta) ex actions to humane munificence. So ciological pro Vems are steadily press ing for solution. Ours being the v.-f-althirst nution on earth, it is not at all strange that more and more concern should be felt for the well being of society as an entirety. The need of mental and physical vigor is self-evident. National, state and local governments are equally inter ested la the strengthening thereof.

JOYCE. view of all this, the Importance of filling the office of mayor with tho right sort of man cannot well be over estimated. The unbiased and untram meled citizenship of South Bend Is therefore enlisted In the support of Patrick A. Joyce for this important office with Its present and future re quirements. This support is earnest, because sincere; enthusiastic, because unselfish; determined, because de served. In Patrick A. Joyce we have a man of conscience and capability, of hon esty and Integrity; a student and thinker, physically and mentally equipped for the task sought to be intrusted to his keeping in short, the right man for the right place. South Bend will do Itself honor and credit by making him successor to Charles L. Goetz. DIDN'T REMEMBER BARKEEP. Clarence Miltenberger, 17, was un able to identify the bartender who sold him liquor and the case of Wil liam Turnock, proprietor of a saloon on E. Lasalle av., was continued. Tur nock said he didn't sell anything to the boy, but that his bartender might ; have done so. The bartender was 1 brought In, but the boy couldn't say; definitely thnt he was the right man.

My personal experience In stock work which extends over quite a num ber of different cities, and over some few years, has proven to me that the stock manager should consider first and foremost the play. i Jf it is the kind to please the pub lic, the question of how prominent a role It gives some member of the -company is not important. If the product'ons are successful the suc cess of the players will naturally fol low. Personally I can assure the public of South Bend that the offerings of the Grayce Scott players when they open In the early fall, will be first and foremost designed as "produc tions." Formerly popularity of the actor or actress in the part would carry any play to success. But let a manager try that now. His public will soon withdraw their patronage under that policy. The people now ask both for a new and sound play or production and also the skilled actor. Revivals of old plays, except the rl Itands Pre-eminent of All Attempted Money-Savin .vents IT1 If there ever was such an occasion that afforded the splendid values that this Great, Big Expansion Sale now offers we have never heard of it, and hundreds of our patrons will testify the same. It has been one grand feast of bargains ever since its inauguration not alone of odds and ends or some insignificant line exclusively, but everything of new and seasonable merchandise of dependability.

It will be one grand succession of big bargains from Monday morning to Saturday night watch for them. ROBERTSON'S Business Hours: 8 to 6 Daily; Saturday until 10 P. M. "mi iiiiii irMtm'm " 4.1 drama, a different standard was de veloped for the play. This standard is bringing the drama by its fidelity to life, or to the interpretation of life, more nearly to the heights attained by other forms of literature. Natural ly this standard is being- maintained by the people when they tfo to see stock performances. Personally I be- classics, are not successful. The stock I "eve. and plan t0 confurm to 11 audiences demand to be kept in touch with the best the stase Is producing. Hence the stock manager must secure the successes as soon a they are re leased for stock presentation. This turn of the public, too, is a sound one, and has n worthy basis.

Hurricane trots with steps that measure from 12 to 15 feet, depend ing? upon his speed. He is one of the few ostriches that has been trained to harness and one of the very few that can be driven at night time. He is in charge of a southern nesro, whose every command he seems to respect. except when he Is wanted to go to the the opposite direction. The driver early learned the contrary disposition of the bird and deftly draws the line the opposite way he wishes his charger to travel. Hurricane will continue his exhibition at sprinting over Sunday and will show himself to the crowds In the show pen.

Beginning Sunday at-the Majestic, in connection with the daily change of pictures will be seen two vaude ville acts out of the ordinary for a theater of this size. Owing to the general stagnation In vaudeville book ing offices the management has been able to secure acts at this season of the year that would be out of the question at any other time. Among these are Rogers and St. Clair, com edy roller skaters and entertainers of pronounced ability. Also Irene Gregg Jack, a singing comedienne, with a long record of past successful engage ments. Beginning Thursday McKee Rich mond, a clever singer billed as "The Irish Caruso," will be heard in a new and varied reportoire of popular ballads and high class selections. Pryor and Addison, in a comical sing ing and talking turn, will endeavor to amuse the summer audiences. Rose Beckerich and Willard Er hardt will render new and popular melodies at each performance. Mr. Krhardt has added to his duties by in stalling a music stand In the Ma jestic lobby and free demonstration fct of the late hits from the publishing house of Forster, Chicago, which he sings on the stage. r MIXISTKIiS TO MEET.
