The Killer. A thousand miles, from east to west, I journeyed, on relentless quest. I met him in the solitude As he his shaggy way pursued. He swung his head in dazed surprise; My bullet crashed betwixt his eyes. I took from him his great domain, Connecting turquoise sky with plain; Aye, canyon, crest and pinion shade., The bowldered pass, the valleyed glade All this from his possession tore And set my heel, a conqueror! I stripped his skin for my renown, Before my fireplace laid it down. Within four narrow walls 'tis spread That eye may gloat and foot may tread. A hero I, in wide belief; I know that am but a thief. Edwin L. Sabin.

POINT OF VIEW.
The Indianapolis correspondent who visits Hammond wonders how anybody can live in Hammond. All one has to do is to ride 45 minutes north to wonder how anybody can live in Indianapolis. The trouble with the Indianapolis visitor is that when he is here he thinks that the whole world is south of him. Governor Deneen is satisfied that he has driven all the baseness of the southern end of Cook county over into Indiana and Governor Hanly is equally satisfied that he has unloaded the troubles of the north end of Lake county on IlliWe are inclined to believe that Governor Hanly has the more reason to be content but he cannot prove it by us that most of the Sunlawlessness of West Hammond, just over the state line, is not conby residents of Hammond
proper. A workingman, resident of
Hammond, Ind., who is disposed to be decent and lawabiding six days in the week is inclined to "cut loose" when he crosses the state line into the territory "where everything goes." He is seized with the same desire as the soldier who is deprived of his beer within the fort. If he cannot get what he wants under official regulations, he will scramble for what is infinitely worse when he crosses the confines of the fort
or barracks. What may be mild disat home, is turned into vio
lent debauchery away from it
Governor Hanly has given Hammond "a clean Sunday" but he is fatten
ing the kennels and deadfalls that bloom across the line and when the victim of Sunday license returns With his load and his bruises, we
have to take care of him. Of
course this is none of Gov. Hanly's
business.

If Judge Jordan can keep going

When Billy Blodgett of the In

This social whirl is getting too
strenuous for Hammond. Mrs.
Blank and her daughter Mable go to Chicago on the 8:58 in the morning to buy a shirtwaist and a

Atheists, Materialists and nondes

Of the twelve men actually quickened

What becomes of our catechism questions; our prireligious teaching that the instant the soul leaves the body, afdeath, there occurs the "particujudgment" where the spirit faces it's Maker and according to the baon the grim ledger of its life, it goes to heaven, hell or an intermestate? Can any one of the redig from the recesses of his mind even a dim, indefinable memory of a transference; a heaven, no mind has conceived so glorious; a hell, no imagination has depicted so loath-
The men of great wealth-I speak of course of those whose fortunes are ACTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE and not
of the idle rich-are agencies for good. They upbuild, judgment
create and develop. They open up new territories, bring new industries into being, build railroads and ships and factories and give EMPLOYMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES to thousands. The proposition to discriminate against them, therefore, is not altoin accordance with my view of justice. In one way it would be putting a penalty on initiative-large initiative, which only those posof great wealth can put forth-and tend to smother it. Many fortunes which are now active and productive would become STAGBut aside from that I am opposed to direct taxation as a matter of principle and general public policy. Indirect taxation falls upon the whole, while direct taxation falls upon a very small class, a condition likely to engender a CONFLICT OF CLASS INTERESTS. The small class of direct taxpayers should not be given cause to feel that they are being unduly burdened for the benefit of the overnumbers of those who are indirectly taxed. Property is un
der great obligations to the state, and the charges which its preservaentail bear a larger proportion in the cost of administration than the mere maintenance of civil government. It is right, therefore, that
property should make a proportionate contribution for state purposes,
but it is not right that in a democratic government such as ours the many should to any extent be permitted TO SHIFT THEIR JUST
BURDENS on the shoulders of the few.
The accumulation of wealth in the hands of a small number might
constitute an element of danger to the nation if this favored minority were exclusively composed of reckless and unprincipled men, but forthis is not the case. GREAT WEALTH BRINGS GREAT RESPONSIBILITY and far from dulling the moral sense makes new and greater demands upon it.
The impoverishing of the national blood by the admixture of for
eign elements of a DISEASED AND VICIOUS character is a
much greater peril to the nation. Temperamentally I am an optimist. No man has a greater faith in the future of this country, particularly of the west, than I have.
BUT THE CONSTANTLY INCREASING INFLUX OF UNDESIRCHARACTERS FROM ABROAD, UNLESS IT BE CHECKED FIRMLY AND AT ONCE, CANNOT HELP BUT CAUSE DETERIORAOF THE NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS.
NEEDN'T KEEP HIS WORD All a Man Has to Do Is to Buy from a Trust-Then He Need Not Pay.
St. Louis, June 26.-In the circuit court Judge Ryan decided in favor of a purchaser who contended that he does not have to pay for goods which he voluntarily bought from a concern which he alleges is a member of a so-
called trust. The Cahill, Swift Manucompany had brought suit for $240.83 against Joseph E. Walsh, a plumber, on the allegation that Walsh had bought goods to the value of the
asked and had refused to
pay for them. Walsh acknowledged that his was true, and stated that he had installed the goods in a flat. His counsel termed the company a "trust'" and argued that the defendant did not have to pay for
goods bought from a trust any more
than he would have to pay a gambling debt. Walsh's defense was based solely upon his anti-trust argument and the court's decision was in his favor.

Justice Is the Basis of Pure Business Relations By Archbishop GLENNON of St. Louis
E have many philosophies today and economies, political and social, to settle the labor troubles. But if you have in the heart of the laborer a conscience expressing itself
in a just day's work you would have ONE OF THE PHASES of the labor problem solved. And if we could carry this whole thing back beyond the laborer, into the committee meeting room, whether of the directors or of the employers of the financiers, and lift up there the figure of Justice as the presiding officer of their deliberations you would reach a MORE THOROUGH SOLUTION of all these problems. Justice is the form of divinity. It is the form of right. It means that all should be governed by HONEST RELATIONS. It is necesfor our social organizations. It is the basic virtue upon which you may build others. BUT IF THIS FIGURE OF JUSTICE WERE TO MOVE THROUGH THE WHOLE WORLD IT WOULD FIND MANY WHO HAVE FORITS NAME AND ARE DEFICIENT IN ITS PRACTICE.

Sheriff Daugherty Recognized The Woman and Later The Man Who Have Figured In Hammond's Trunk Affair.
Matrimony. Matrimony resembles a pair of ears, so joined that they cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing any one who comes between them.-S. Smith.
Mrs. Clay R. Lawrence made a formal demand for her trunks yesand was informed by the she
riff that she could have her own bebut that Chas. F. Wenham's
personal effects would be held.
Mrs. Lawrence then telephoned to her attorney In Chicago who advised her to give a redelivery bond and
take every thing.
This she has decided to do and as
the papers were made out she was given her trunks.
Sheriff Daugherty says he rememseeing Mrs. Lawrence and a man whose description corresponds to Wenham in Crown Point last week and it is beleived now that this town was the point selected by the prinin this affair for a meeting place.

"We Want a Navy To Prevent War" By Admiral GEORGE DEWEY. U. S. N.
E don't want war. We want a navy TO PREVENT WAR. We need more ships and we need more men. We have the best navy in the world now-I believe that And
I believe it because our enlisted men are young men, Amerintelligent, brave. Why, they could fight the ship IF EVERY OFFICER ON BOARD WERE KILLED. There was target practice on the Missouri one day. A round of shots was fired, and not one missed the target 1,700 yards away. In the turret, firing the guns, were fifteen men, and the average ae of those men was TWENTY-ONE years. The navy is not all for war. It has its uses in time of peace. We hear that the navy did excellent work at San Francisco. How well they did is not generally known, for as a rule the navy is apt TO HIDE ITS LIGHT under a bushel.

By General BOOTH, Veteran Commander In Chief of the Salvation Army
FTEN people say to me that I have done a lot of hard work
and should retire and take a lot of rest. That is not my idea of happiness. THERE IS NO PLEASURE LIKE WORK.
IT IS THE PANACEA FOR ALMOST EVERY ILL. I have worked hard and earnestly for sixty years, and if God spares me ten years more or twenty years more I shall devote them all to the work I love. Should he call me I shall go feeling that I have at any rate done my best. It will be for others to carry on the work. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR TIME? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT? DEDICATE IT TO THE SERVICE OF HUMANITY AND JOY WILL BE YOURS.
