The Heavens Are Our Riddle. The heavens are our riddle and the sea, Forested earth, the grassy, rustling plain, Snows, rains and thunders. Yea, and even we Before ourselves stand ominous; in vain! The stars still march their way; the sea still rolls; The forests wave; the plain drinks in the sun, And we stand silent, naked--with tremusouls Before our unsolved selves--we pray to one Whose hand should help us, but we hear no voice.

Skies clear and darken; the days pale and pass; Nor any bids us weep or bids rejoice. Only the wind sobs in the shriveling grass Only the wind--and we with upward eyes Expectant of the silence of the skies. Herbert Bates.

Between Trains

Illustrating the fact that one never

can tell where to look for the truth

or from whence it will eminate, it

can be remarked that the black-faced comedian who sung "I Don't Know

Where I'm Going. But I'm on My Way" gave a selection containing more honest, unadulterated truth than whimsical humor.

IT has recently been charged that the police force is wholly inadequate and that this is due to the working out of the Metropolitan police law. It must be admitted that this law as enforced by the governor has beodious to a great majority of the people of Hammond. But at the same time to be fair it must be admitted that it is not the law so much as the vernor's interof it which led to the usurption of authority that should

have been exercised only in emerTo charge that it is the law itself which is responsible the alleged inof police protection is the best proof that those who make these charges are totally ignorant of its provisions. The metropolitan police law pro-

a city may have one patrolman to every 1000 people, the population of a city to be determined

by the official census which is held

ten years, me f ranters of this law realized that there would be cities like Hammond which would outgrow their police protection in a few years and to provide for this contingency they incorporated in the law the provision that a city could take a special census and in this way provide the required addito the police force. To further provide for emergencies the city council was given the power to ap-

piopriate the necessary funds to provide for additional policemen that might be an immediate necessity. It is due to the chief of police and all of his subordinates to say that never in the history of Hammond has there been a better protected city and this in spite of the fact that across the line in Illinois there are dens of vice and crime that breed more lawlessness than the whole city of Hammond. The police have done their duty faithfully and concientand the result speaks for itThe real complaint is not that there has been inadequate protection ut rather that the men who have been walking the beats have had enough work for two officers instead of one and the fact is emphasized that this growing city must soon provide more men to do the work instead of assuming that the men

we have can do more work, as has

been the case in the past. Those who have been at the head of the metropolitan police force durthe present city administration

have repeatedly asked the mayor to

ide the necessary additions to force but have met in each case the reply that is was impossior not the motive i scredit the metropolitan law in the eyes of the poeple is

a matter of conjecture.

Some of our exchanges are still

running paragraphs about the com

scientific one at that.

When a couple applies for a marlicense in Lake county, it seems to be customary for the clerk to ask: "With or without."

STUBBS AFTER DATA.

Ministers of every church, Catholic and Protestant, in this city, will receive a letter from State StatistiJoseph H. Stubbs within a few days asking a detailed accounting of church membership and property value. These letters will be in the form of a blank which is now in the hands of the printer, and Mr. Stubbs hopes to receive the majority of the answers within a short time. These figures will be used by the statistiin compiling a set of religious on which he has been working for some time.

T is probably asserted and claimed for our country that it is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but, while it is historically true that it is the home of the PHYSIbrave, it is a question in my mind whether it is not

too much the land of the free and too little the land of the MORALLY brave. In other words, whether or not, in various direc

tions, license has taken the place of liberty and corruption has run riot AT THE EXPENSE OF PATRIOTISM. It is the smooth and machine ridden legislator, whose conscience has been cauterized by the appeals and demands of his supporters, upon whom responsibility for wrongdoing must rest. It is the vote of such legislators which, in a large measure, govthe passage, amendment or repeal of legislation that encourages or prohibits iniquitous enactments such as, at this very moment, reupon the statute books, in spite of my earnest appeal, year after year, to have them modified

to have them modified, amended or repealed, because of the unmistakable opportunity AND INDUCEMENT they offer the pension shark and the horde of unconscionable grafters, whose busiit has been, and still is, TO ROB THE GOVERNMENT of the public domain. About four years ago a special agent of the land office forwarded a report, inclosing the confession of one guilty man, who, as is usual

in such cases, complaining of the unequal division of the spoils,

posed the action of three other confederates, who had for years

tematically and illegally acquired possession of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACRES of the public domain through the inand agencies which were absolutely corrupt. This confession occasioned the immediate and enforced retirement of the commissioner of the general land office and a prompt investigawhich developed fraudulent land transactions in many of the

northwestern, Pacific coast and southwestern states.

THESE INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVED THE ARREST, INDICTNT AND CONVICTION OF OVER SIX HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS IN OVER TWENTY OF THE STATES AND TERRITORIES, INCLUDAMONG THE NUMBER SOME WHO HAD HITHERTO STOOD HIGH IN THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY RESIDED. In prosecuting the investigation the department has met with

many delays and distinct opposition, but its instructions to its reprehave been to proceed without fear or favor, REGARD

LESS OF POSITION and influence.

The fact remains that if the police protection is inadequate or if the police are worked to the point of inefficiency there is a remedy profor by the metropolitan law nd it remains for the proper officials avail themselves of it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafand that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearand when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out

and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing

Where Anarchy is Bred

By STEWART L. WOODFORD, Former Minister

IT is not in the slum,

slum, the tenement house, the fetid atmostphere of the places where the poor half live that anarchy and social-

ism are bred. It is the way that WE treat the poor, the way that WE spend our money, make use of our money, the disregard of law on the part of great corporations, the business printhat might makes right, that fosters these creeds AND ENTHE STATE. The rich man who uses the influence of his wealth to evade the law is above all others in the community a traitor to the best interests of our land. Upon the rich falls the heaviest responsibility for upthe law. Their wealth has been earned UNDER THE LAW and is secured to them by law.

Corporations exist as creatures of the law. They have no natural

They have no natural, no inevitable PERSONAL EXISTENCE. They exist for the good of the community. Upon every stockholder, director and officer of a corporation rests an obligation to obey the law that is far greater than that of the AVERAGE individual. Were not our forefathers more scrupulous in the matter of their social duties than we? Is there not in this generation a growing dis

position to construe the law FOR ONESELF, to obey it when it

purpose, to disregard it when it inconveniences our ambi-

WIPE OUT THE TRUSTS"!

By GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, Playwright and Satirist WHY condemn the beef magnates in particular? EVERY MILLIONAIRE is guilty of some crime of equal hideousness. But the fault does not lie with the millionaire. The

present social system forced his crimes upon him. He is in business

as a millionaire, and the spirit of the times dictates that he shall sucIf there is competition he is COMPELLED to grind the competition down. It is not the fault of the millionaire. IT IS THE FAULT OF TIIE SYSTEM. A business which affects the people's welfare should not be in the hands of private individuals, but in the hands of the public. The

tate or the municipality, not syndicates RUNNING FOR PROFIT, should control the people's food supply.

You may have as much legislation and appoint as many inspectors as you like, but the same state of things will go on as long as an industry is a question of private and not PUBLIC profit. In spite of everything President Roosevelt can do, the only safe prophecy is that at the end of a few years a number of the beef inwill be able to retire on ample fortunes. Then perhaps there will be another outcry and ANOTHER SET OF INSPECTORS will be given an opportunity of amassing wealth. YOU CANNOT CONTROL TRUSTS NOR MAKE THEM HONEST. IF YOU WANT TO BE RID OF THE EVIL THEY DO THE ONLY

COURSE IS TO WIPE THE TRUSTS OUT ALTOGETHER.
