God help the rich, Who from life's choicest gifts to bauble turn, Within whose palms burns an unholy itch To grasp the wages that their brothers earn; Who crust the poor, who live for selfish pleasure, Who nail humanity upon the cross, Who from the toiler take his rightful measure, Thus on themselves and others wreaking loss, For tinsel things who scramble in the ditch And leave the way of life. God help th rich. God help the poor; The aching back of labor bent with pain, The men who toil and struggle to secure Scant meant of life that they may toil again, The weary mothers with their tear washfaces, The little children dying in their need, The ones who live in mean and wretched places, In hovels bare of homelike charms and graces, The ones whose wage is held from them by greed, The hopeless ones who patiently endure; Our hearts go out to them. God help th poor. James A. Edgerton. GOV. HANLY is busy these days lecturing at Chautauqua--meanwhile who is looking after his lid in northern Indiana? Michigan City please answer.

There is nothing so ephemeral as a premature boom, except it may be a sand fly. OLDEST REPUBLICAN IN INDIANA. Rev Wesley Borders, of Harrison township, Pulaski county, has the honor of being the oldest Republican voter in the state and probably in the country. He is one hundred years old. He cast his first vote for John Quincy Adams in 1828, and from the time of Fremont until the last presidential year in 1904, he has cast his ballot for the Republican candidates. When Rev. Mr. Borders went to the polls in 1904 his right to vote was challenged on account of his advanced age and attendant imperfection of eyesight. Mr. Bordadmitted his advanced age, but not his feebleness. His vote was lost, however. He has strong hopes of livto cast his ballot for the next Republican president. Mr. Borders is of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. He was bora in Virginia. August 27, 1806. His parents came to Ohio in 1811, and twenty-five years later he and his wife came to Pulaski county, where Mr. Borders lives with his son John F. Borders, who is seventy-four years old. Four generations of the family are living. WITH THE EDITORS. The coming legislature should not dash wildly into general reduction of railroad passenger rates to two cents per mile. This would be propfor trunk lines, but for small and lateral lines it might be ruinous legThe same discrimination hould be exercised that governs the reatment of enterprises of different egrees of success and possibiltiy. Elkhart Review. Governor Hanly is bitterly opto graft when somebody else is oing the grafting, but when he oolly pockets $31 a day of the state's money for time employed in the task f swelling his private fortune by elivering lectures at $200 per lecthe doesn't display any bitterness t all.--Indianapolis Independent.

Oh, the Roman was a rogue, He erat was, you bettum, He ran his automobilis And smoked his cigarettum; He wore his diamond studibus, And elegant cravatum, A maxima cum laud shirt, And such stylish hattum. He loved the luscious hic-haec-hock, And bet on games and equi; At times he won; at others though, He got is in the neqqi; He winked quo usque tandem At puellas on the Forum, And sometimes even made Those goo-goo oculorum.

Still more remarkable, the clerks employed in the car escaped with a few bruises. Immediately behind the mail coach were the baggage and express cars, both of wood construction. They, too, took headers over the embankment, but were smashed into twisted wood and iron. The demonstration, say railroad men, was undeniably the strongest kind of argument for steel cars as furnishing the greatest measof safety. CURLY MAKES LEAP FOR LIFE. It is estimated that three or four thousand people witnessed "Curly, the Dare Devil's" leap for life at the White House yesterday.

SLINGS AND ARROWS. Richard Croker has had the canned candidate to dinner at his estate in Ireland. Water was the only beverage and small potatoes were served. Aren't we rather carelessly discounting death and other events when we get busy nampresidential candidates two years in advance? It has been talked of through Indiana that a really great charity would be to crea sick baby fund to be supported by levying a tax of five dollars cn every bachelor. Aren't some young women willing to start the good work? Their war cry might be: "Pay up you single ones. Isn't the charity--and imwell worth it?" But aside from the joke, what a world of good could be don for little children of the poor during the summer months. Flat districts are furnishmore that their proper quota of divorces, which proves that love may flourin a cottage but balks at being cooped up in a flat.

STREET CAR CREW

TALK OF ASSAULT Young and Baxter Say the Whiting Car's Arrival Prevented Murder. CREW SUFFER MANY BRUISES Motorman Thinks Neff Will Try Yet to Get Even For Being Put Off Car. Motorman Baxter and Conductor Young who were assaulted by Neff and Billings near the White House a few days ago were interviewd at their homes yesterday by a Lake County Times reporter. Motorman Baxter was in bed when seen and still showed the effects of the terrible beating that he received. His eyes were black and .swollen. In regard to the affair and its probable consequences, he said: "I hear that they may find its difficult to convict those fellows of felonious assault on account of lack of evito prove an intent to kill. It may be hard to prove an intent to kill but I am as certain as any one that if the Whiting car had not frightened those fellows away from their job, a few more rounds would have put me out of business. "Several times as I have been ly ing here the thought comes to me that only the timely appearance of that Whiting car saved my wife and little children from being fatherless, for intent or no intent I could not have lived under the blows of that man Billings much longer. "A great many people seem to think that conductors and motormen are grouchy and indifferent to the wishes of their passengers because they like to be, but I want to say right here that when a man has to go through the strain of taking a car from Hammond to 63rd street in an hour and thirteen minutes, when the old schedule of an hour and twenty minutes is fast enough, he is in a bad temper all the time. "I am certain that if these men are let off with a small fine, it will be almost impossible for conductors to handle the rowdy element. As it is I believe that Neff is one of those fellows who would spend a lifetime getting even with me." Conductor Young did not have much to say and seemed to think that his bruises would speak for themselves. Both eyes were as black as they could be and his face was skinned clear up to his forehead. Young also claims that had it not been for the timely arrival of the Whiting car Neff would certainly have killed him. Young said: "Neff claims that I kicked his hand when I put him off the car. The motorman and I put this man off because he was drunk and motorman went back to start his car Neff tried to get back on the car to get me. When he took hold of hold on the handles I put my foot hand to prevent his boarding the car, and that was all there was to 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 deafness, and 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 hearing, and 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 but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol
