DID you notice anything particuarly dry about Hammond yesterday?

Dunne and Collins forgot.
The new primary law in Illinois was given its first test on Saturday and the verdict was one of approval. It is susceptible of effectual improvement, of course, but it has proved with the first experiment to be the hardest blow to "bossism," be that "bossism" for the better or worse. The primary in Ilinois is now a popular election. The rank and file of
the two big parties are given a say j in the selection of candidates and j are not compelled by the spirit of party loyalty to follow the blind lead of wire pullers. The real voters are given the right to decide through
the secret ballot whom they shall
follow. It is no longer possible in
the sister state for a few crafty
schemers who play the game of poli-
ics for. personal ends to force upon
the people through packed conven
tions candidates in whom they have
nothing in common outside of party
ealty. ,
4 The people of Ilinois now know
for whom they are voting from the
first inception of the candidacy.
While holding allegiance to one party or the other they can fall in behind
the man of their own choice and not the man who is forced upon them.
In many states there has been an
agitation to bring about the election
of United States senators by popular
ote. The new primary law in Illi
nois has made a long stride in that
direction. We know now that Shel
by M. Cullom is the choice of his
party for the senatorship and that
Richard Yates canot be a candidate.
t is reasonably certain that the Ilinois legislature will be Republican.
Therefore, the trouble on that score
s all over and the people can give
their thoughts to something.
The new primary law in Illinois is
as just as it is simple. It is the
voice of the people expressed before any harm can be done. -

"A pronouncing gazetter is about the last place on earth to find humor," remarked a literary shark who spends much of his time daily pouring over volumes of general information, "but for something good, listen to this: There was published the
other day an article concerning Hell,

RAILROAD NOTES
WITH THE EDITORS.
The reasoning of the average Pro
hibitionists will ever be a puzzle. Ohio has one of the strictest saloon
laws of any state in the union. The license fee is placed at 1 1.0 00. and every community has the right to
exclude saloonsJ Under this law the
number of saloons has been greatly
decreased and prohibition established
in many counties. These results, it
would seem, should be pleasing to the
Prohibitionists. But such is not the
case for in their state convention
this week they vigorously denounced the law as a covenant with death
and an alliance with the devil. We
fear our Prohibition friends will
never be satisfied. Lafayette Jour

Locomotive engineers in this coun
try are increasing at the rate of about 4,000 per year. The freight traffic in the United States and Canada nearly doubles every dscade, and it
requires a good many new engineers and also other trainmen to take care of the natural expansion of railroad
business. In the last two years 381
engineers were killed while perform
ing their duties, while a great many
more were obliged to quit the railroad service. In spite of our growth
the Brotherhood has not nearly
enough engineers to supply the de mand of the railroads.
From information which we have
carefully compiled we find the aver
age life of the engineer is only ten
years. In that time he either dies
on duty or from natural causes or i
totally disabled, ihe average age
of our members is forty-one years,
yet there are engineers seventy years old who are running some of the fastest trains in the country. When you

the series with Whiting for next Sun
day to be played for 1 100 a side.
The other games of the series will be
played Sunday, Aug. 26 and Sunday, Sep. 9. Manager Miller is so confident of the ability of his team to win against anything Whiting could
get together, that he has not re

It was learned today that Whiting
has secured the services of Clark, the
crack Chicago Heights south paw who they expect will do things to the Hammond's batting ability. Whiting is raising the money which

the players and the base ball tans of the Oil City. The lineup of the

The directors of the Erie rail
road have declared a second full year's dividend on the second prefered stock, and there are tangible reasons why the company's earnings should henceforth increase more rapidly than in the past. For the year
ending June 30 the company shows
a surplus oyer full preferred dividends, exclusive of any extraordinary expenditures of ?2, 750, 000. The increase in the net earnings the last year was $2,000,000, leaving a substantial margin over tiie increase in charges. .
Breach of Promise by Simplex. There is trouble in the Manufac
turers' baseball league here in Ham
mond and the cuase is an alleged breach of promise on the part of the
manager of the Simplex team.
The Simplex team had a game
scheduled with the players from the
Fits Hugh Luther plant for Satur
day, August 4 at 3:30 p. m. It was
understood that the game was to be
played at the Hubbard ball park and at the appointed time there w?re
about one hundred spectators and the
players from the Fitz Hugh Luther plant waiting for some one to open the gates. Manager Oliver Knoth and his players were not there, and after waiting for some time, a man was sent down town to find the manager and his mlsing team. According to the story the Fitz Hugh Luther players tell, Manager Knoth was found in front of Milligan's and was asked why his team had not put in an appearance. Knoth . is said to have explained that he called for the keys to the grounds and was informed that the grounds were to be used by the Reid
Murdoch and Conkey teams and that the manager of one of these teams
had the keys. The messenger from
the waiting crowd at the ball grounds then went to jr. Millikan and found to his surprise that the keys were in
Millikan's possession and that the
Reid Murdoch and Conkey teams were
playing on the Harrison park grounds. . This was to be the second game in the Manufacturers' baseball league and the Fitz Hugh Luther players who had to pay men to take the places of those who could not obtain
leave otherwise, are in an ugly mood
over the affair.

The god of war was a barbarian intruder in the Olympian circle. There was something Turaeian, and, by that token crude and unworthy in his manner. He was more of a blusterer than a fighter, and Homer narrates with evident relish how Pallas Athene tumbled him over in combat, his vast bulk covering several acres. Of wild aspect, untutored ways and indifferent wits, he had little to recommend him but his immoral origin. Such also is the month that has taken the war god's name. One poet nates its "ugly looks and threats." 'A half wild creature cast from nature's lap," another calls it. The proverb "mad as
a March hare" snys the same thing with less reticence. English people call the month "March Manyweathers"' and thereby intimate their doubt
of its capacity for sustained purpose.
