Bryan is well pleased with that part of the president's message that has started another quake in California. IT, IS unfortunate that the New Tork Mutual had stuck in its mite toward the campaign fund that helped to elect President Roosevelt, before the law prohibiting- corporations from contributing money for campaign purposes gets in Its deadly work. ROOSEVELT seems to have gotten ahead of himself in the abolition of legal red tape propostion. i. e., with regard to the adjustment of the school difficulties in California. WE had always been under the impression that "summary death" has been the rule with regard to the negro assaulters of women, especially In the Eouth. THE "WIDER STREET" MOVEMENT. The proposed widening of Calumet avene from eighty to 100 feet is a timely suggestion that should be acted upon at once. Every progressive city In the country has been confronted by the problem of narrow thoroughfares as soon as it has reached proportions where congestion in which the average width of streets becomes a possibility. In majority of instances, however, the necessity if ignored or fought over until the expense of widening makes the undertaking a serious proposition. If not impossible, it at least, when Improved with many buildings. Is attended by such great expense as to work a hardship on many of those who are obliged to bear the burden of the improvement. The widening of State street in Chicago, a quarter of century ago, was ncconiplished only after the most bitter jopposltlon of property owners whose buildings fronting that thoroughfare had either to be moved at great expense or torn down and rebuilt. Chicago right now is In the throes of an agitation to widen Halsted street, and Hammond will do well to take warning from the rich heritage of experience in this connection dearly bouerht by other municipalities the country over. Calumet avenue is in the trend of the encroachment of business, which is bound to be eastward henceforth, and while the widening of the street might worts a Temporary narusnip upon a few property owners right now, it will He a iHT.ei.t in tne long run both to the land holders and the city as a whole. WITH THE EDITORS. To Change the Ballot Law. Louis Ludlow, writing from Washington to the Indianapolis Star, states that there is a good deal of talk among members of congress from Indiana of a movement to separate the congressman's name from the county ballot in future elections. It is probable that the republican members of the Indiana delegation will hold a caucus on the subject soon and outline plans for bringing this reform before the state legislature at its coming session in Indianapolis. An act of the legislature would be required to remove the congressman's name from the county ballot. The recent elections In Indiana furnished many Illustrations of how con-

gressional candidates suffer by having their names appear on the county ballot in each county of their respective districts. This plan draws them into the vortex of every local factional light. The congressman often loses heavily, not because there is any opposition within the party ranks to hiia. but because of the local dissensions directed against the county candidates. Many men are afraid of losing their votes if they "scratch" and therefore they vote the entire county ballot of the opposing party, at the same time voting the state ballot of their own partry. Others who undertake to scratch thoir county ballots make a botch of it and their votes are thrown out.

WHO ARE IIOOSIRItS. Because a reader in the Indianapolis Star lias suggested the name of Capt. Eads for Indiana's niche in the Statuary hall, the Washington Herald is inclined to treat this with levity, for the reason that Capt. Eads has not lived in this state all his life. In answer the Star says: "The Washington Herald waxes merry over the fact that Capt. Eads is claimed as a Hoosier by some of the Star voters, which it thinks "will doubtless surprise many persons, who know that this great engineer achieved all of his fame only after he had left Indiana.'" It stat-s that 'there is a good old principle in Indiana which lays down tho rule 'that once a Hoosier always a Hoosier,' and it is probably on this principle that Eads is being considered.' "And pray, why not? A Hoosier is either a native or a resident of Indiana, according to all the dictionaries and ancient usage. A man once born in Indiana can never be born anywhere else. Ho is a Hoosier per sc. If a man who has the misfortune to be born elsewhere realizes hla unhappy lot and comes to this state, his repentance and Indiana accepts he becomes u Hoosier by adoption. "But the Herald ia rather late with its theory. If it were applied now there would have to be some removals from Statuary hall. For example, Pennsylvania has a statue of Robert Fulton, and her claim to Fulton Is not as strong as Indiana's claim to Eads. Eads was not only born in Indiana but also received all the schooling he ever had In Indiana, and had shown his taste for mechanical invention before he left the state. Fulton left Pennsylvania as a youth to study art in England, and was turned to mechanical pursuits later. Ho never returned to Pennsylvania to- reside, but settled in New York, and died there. "New Hampshire has given n statue of Daniel "Webster as one of its sons, but Webster's fame was made after he had removed to Massachusetts. But New Hampshire is entitled to him because his early life and education formed his character and developed his ability. Mere birth may be considered an Incident,' but so may mere residence. What locality is entitled to a credit for a man's greatness, the one that produced him, or the one where he happens to locate? Rhode Island sends a statue of Roger Williams, but It did not make Roger Williams, though he did something toward making Rhode Island after he came over from Wales. John Wlnthrop was 42 years old when he came to Massachusetts, but Massachusetts sends in his statue. "If the Herald will look a little deeper it may find cause for surprise in Statuary hall. The law calls for statues 'of deceased persons who have been citizens thereof (the several states) and are illustrious for their heroic renown, or from distinguished civic or military service.' New Jersey has a statue of Phil Kearny, who was born in New York, and was a citizen of the world. He was never a citizen of New Jersey, but commanded the First Brigade of New Jersey troops in the civil war until he was killed at Chantilly In 1S82. Wisconsin has a statue of Father Marquette, who was never a citizen of that state. Its only claim to him is that he passed through the region where the state is with Joliet, and spent a winter at the mission on Green Bay, because he was sick and could not get away. Indiana has as much claim to La Salle or Abraham Lincoln as Wisconsin has to Marquette." The Justice Shopa. Speaking of justice Chicago and Indiana Journal says: shops in both the Lafayettt: "The people of Chicago are rejoicing over the abolition of the justice shops, with their agents, the constables. By act of the legislature the business of the Justice courts henceforth will be determined by a municipal court. There Is a chief Justice and twenty-nine associates composing the tribunal. Un der the new law the municipal courts and the agents of the law serve on salaries, the fee feature being elimin ated. Chicago has seen the fee system, as it pertains to courts in its very worst phase. Under the old law black mail was common and Justice was rare. The new order marks a great reform and the people have reason for felicitation. The situation in Chicago should suggest to the people of Indiana the advisability of abolishing the antiquated system now followed in this state. The Indiana method at present is bad. Monetary reward is made the premium for the enforcement and prosecution of the law. The system is pernicious, being an insult to the law. Interpretation and prosecution of the law should be divorced from fees In Indiana. The coming session of the legislature has an opportunity to register a real reform on this question. GETS NEW FEDERAL BUILDING. Mr. James A. Wetmore, chief in the law and record division of the supervising architect's office, Washington, I). C, was in the city today upon matters connected with the selection of a site for the proposed new federal building to be built In this city. Michigan City News. Profanity On the Singe. The use of profanity on the stage is becoming so common that the average audience is no longer shocked by language that ought not to be tolerated either in the home or in public. Even that sterling comedian Frank Danlel3 exclaims "good God," and the hardened theater-goers overlook It. And he Is one of the least of the offenders. We do not beleive that the public wants coarse plays or coarse language. They

expect at the variety theaters shocking and vulgar expressions, and for the most part accordingly stay away, or at least keep the members of their families whose Innocence they wish to protect away from such places. But they are not free from offenses at the so-called best theaters. To hear language in public that does not shock "good society" is taken by the young and Innocent to give license for the use of such language everywhere. As a rule, the best plays are free from offenses in this particular. The public knows a good, clean show as well, if not better than the playwright knows it. When the theatrical managers are made to feel through the box-office that profanity and vulgarity will not be tolerated by a decent public they will purge their plays of vulgar language and vulgar actions. Indianapolis News.

Iii - Is Inadequate. At Chicago a civil service postoffice examination where it was hoped there would be 600 applicants had thirtynine. The cause is not the high standard, but the low pay, says the Chicago Record-IIerld, which adds: The pay offered is entirely Inadeuuate. In some branches of the service it is just what it was thirty years ago, despite the great increase in the cost of living. Postoffice clerks begin ut $400 and increase slowly. The positions that pay above $1,000 are few, and are really in the executive staff rather than in the staff of clerks. Letter carriers in large cities begin at $600, and may reach $1,000. Railway postal clerks receive from $S00 to $1,500, but hundreds of them with exceptionally short runs receive less than the minimum of the schedule If railways and manufacturing corporations see the need at this time of increasing the pay by 10 per cent,, surely the government can do the same, especially since there is more reason for the government doing it under present conditions than there is for the railways doing it. It will be good economy for congress to heed the postmaster-general's recommendations on this point and be liberal with the clerks. Between Trains If Thou Muat Love. If thou must love me, let It be for naught Except for love's sake only. Do not say "I love her for her smie . . her look . . . her way Of speaking gently for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and certes brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day." For these things in themselves, beloved, may Be changed, or change for thee and love so wrought, May be unwrought, so. Neither love me for Thlno own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry A creature might forget to weep, who bore Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby, But love me for love's sake that evermore Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity. Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Philadelphia Bulletin. An Arab Proverb. He who knows not, and knows not that ho knows not; he is a fool, shun him. He who ho knows him. He who he knows; He who knows; he knows not, and knows that not; he is ignorant, teach knows, and knows not that he Is asleep, wake him. knows, and knows that he is wise, follow him. A certain man who resides in a neighboring city naa trounie witn a mouse recently. The little rodent had gnawed his way into the bath room and was using that apartment for his daily frolics. As a consequence the man's wife and daughters were afraid to use the room. Means of extermination, such as traps and poison were brought into play, but the mouse could not see them at all. Eventually, growing tired of hearing the complaints that the women folks were making, the man of the house went Into the bath room and laid for the little beast. The animal put In appearance and was landed into th bath tub, which served as a prison un til the family cat could be brought in to do the execution stunt. v hen the cat took after the mouse the rodent ran down the waste pipe and plugged it up. Saturday the landlord paid a plumber's bill of $27.50 for having the mouse's carcass removed. A NEW SLEEPING CAR STORY. Among the railroad visitors In town yesterday was A. F. Miller, egneral passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul railway. He visited all of the general offices in town and at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday told a story of one of the sleeping car porters who was recently found asleep while on duty. This is contrary to the rules of the St. Paul road, and the negro man was in trouble when found by the in specter on the Pioneer Limited. He had his wits about him, however, and in response to the inspector's inquiry as to what he was doing asleep, he said: "I'll tell you been how It was, boss, with the company z before coming here '. such and such a rail was so rough that short time and was working on road. The line could not get any sleep. Since I have been working for the St. Paul the road has been so smooth that I just could not keep awake." c Tl" . ... -vimei mjm uui wnue tne negro had violated the rules, he was per muted xo Keep nis jod on account of his wit. The Cleveland Leader. JOKE WAS ON 1IVMORIST. New York. Dec. 4. Roy McCardell, a humorist, started to his home in New Rochelle one recent afternoon. He encountered a crowd of women at the Grand Central station who had been

attending matinees. Mr. McCardell, unable to restrain his fun-loving propensity and having In mind the troubles of Caruso, the tenor, raised his hands high above his head as he pushed his way through the crowd. "No one shall accuse me," he shouted, with his hands In the air. The crowd laughed and McCardell was pleased.

When he reached his car he dis covered that his watch, his week's salary and everything else of value he ad In his pocket had been stolen. Xoh's the Time! While with indecision flopping All around your Christmas shopping. Just note if you do it quick, Of the stock you'll have your pick. Indianapolis News. Failure of Triple Alliance. Pluto was boasting of his threeheaded dog. "Well, it will get left," answered his daughter's suitor, "I have only one pair of 'pants., " Seeing that there was not enough work to go 'round the old man stopped bragging. New York Sun. The Perpetual Strife. A man, if we beleive what's said In modern scientific terms. Is little else, from foot to head, Than just a battlefield for germs. Washington Star. WHALING AS A MODERN BUSINESS. Whaling is a small enterprise com pared with the great industry of long ago. The old lure oil is scarcely thought of today, the vegetable world having so completely supplanted the leviafhan in the arts. The bone's the thing. It has never been higher in price, some $6.50 a pound today, and a "right" whale will average more than 25,000 pounds of bone. Two whales will yield a ship dividend; live are the average catch. It costs about $15,000 including advances to the personnel, later deducted from their catch percentage, to outilt a ship for a summer in the Arctic. Often the catch is worth $120,000, of which about $25,000 goes to the skipper. There s money in whaling, often more than in mining and salmon canning, the north admits, and so even greater lawlessness exists than in those pursuits. lAirper's Weekly. TAPEWORM IX RABBITS. Rushvllle, Ind., Dec. 4. Several hunt ers have reported finding tapeworms in rabbits killed in this county. Hugo Schmalzel, In preparing a rabbit, found a tapeworm measuring more than thir ty feet in length. John Powers and Frank T. Lawrence also found worms measuring more than twenty foet. A member or the local board of health has warned people to be careful in eating rabbits, declaring that they are unhealthy, and should be eaten only after a most careful examination has been made. CPIDER BOUND ITS CAPTIVE. Had Fly Safely Tied Up tacking It. Before At"One morning, when busy In my workshop," says a naturalist, "a large fly, double the size of a bluebottle, was caught in a spider's web in the window close to where I was at work. It was held by two of its legs only, and for some time the spider, which was about the size of the fly's head, proceeded to strengthen its hold by attaching numerous extra lines to the two captive limbs, carefully keeping out of reach of the others, which were letting out in all directions in frantic efforts to escape. "During a short respite in the cap tive's struggles the spider cautiously approached, and with its hind legs got several turns of its tiny rope round one of the limbs that were free. These tactics were carried on till all the legs were firmly bound. It then injected poison into one of the legs. This soon showed itself, for its deadening effects reduced the victim's struggles in a marked degree. The poison paralyzes but does not kill. "Shortly after a second bite resistance ceased, and the victor settled down to suck the juices of its fallen prey. The struggles lasted quite an hour. Next morning the fly was alive, and the spider was still sucking out its life blood." Strenuous Treatment of Children. A Milwaukee physician, Dr. John E, Worden, has adopted this strenuous treatment to prepare his babies for the rigors of life, and up to the pres ent his methods have been abundantly justified by their success, says an ar tide in Good Health for October. His little daughters, Shirley and Jane, aged respectively eight and three years, are two of the firmest and healthiest bits of humanity, to whom disease of all kinds is unknown. During the cold weather these children mav be seen barefooted and bare headed, clad only in their cotton gar rnents, thoroughly enjoying the romp in the snowdrifts, and without a goose pimple on their skin. Turkey Talk. "My dear," remarked Mr. Grouch, "this turkey is unusually tough. May I a3k where you got It?" "Certainly," returned Mrs. Grouch, sweetly. "I purchased it at a stationery store. Do you suppose I get it from the butcher-shop?" "No, Indeed," replied Mr. Grouch, jabbing the carving knife into the hard flesh of the bird. "I have been under the Impression the last ten minutes that you procured it from a hardware store." Woman's Horns Companion. The Thing to Guard Against. "I am going to be an actress when I grow up," said a girl of six, adding: "Oh. dear, 'if I just don't forget and be a mother first'"

NEW YORK LETTER I New York, Dec. 5. With call loan rates ruling as high as 3o per cent. the stock market started feverish and lower. The high rates for money dur ing the past ten days, causes a hesi tancy on the part of bull operators to make much of bullish demonstrations. The tendency of the entire market was reactionary in tone. , St. Paul sold off from 182 down to ISO1-'.; I'nion Pacific from 1ST to 1S5SS; Sugar from 137 to 135-4. and Copper from 113; to 118. The selling in all of the active stocks was on a liberal scale. i large portion of it was ascribed to bear operators, who will be compelled to cover on any ease in the money market. New York Central again demonstrat ed itself as a leader in the market, opening around 136, a point higher than last night's close, and continued firm, notwithstanding the general weakness in the balance of the market. The directors in this company meet in the near future. It is the ruling comment in the street that the dividend rate will be increased to at ast 6 per cent. If the directors take such action the advance of ten points In the past week has discounted in a measure this bullish factor. Two of the strongest features of tho day were Reading and Colorado Fuel, both of which scored advances of about two points after an earlv decline. Tho market closed Irregular and spotty, with indications for a feverish market tomorrow. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descpt.

Caieago. Dec. 5. The butter market displayed considerable activity and strength at the recently advanced prices. The consumptive demand is taking care of all the fresh arrivals and of late the under grades are beK.nning to move more freely, acting as a substitute for the better grades owing to the high prices prevailing for the latter.

Two important causes of heart trouble aro underwork and overwork, but chiefly underwork, says Outing. Where due to overwork it has been physical, not mental. The hearts of long-dlstanco runners and bicyclists sometimes become hypertrophled, while hearts of children sometimes succumb to too arduous play. With children, however, it is usually due to a predisposition In that direction from their parents, whoso hearts have been weakened by prolonged under exercise rather than to overexerciso on their part. As the result of a recent examination of nearly 10,000 school children In the primary grades by tho board of health, it was found that 50 per cent were suffering from physical defects, among which predominated defectivo vision, insufficient nutrition, pulmonary and heart ailments a startling condition of our boasted civilization.

The shoes are said to be of IIong kong manufacture, but a very Inferior kind is made locally of native leatheiw Stunner for ths Manager.

Pressed for the reason of hia refusal, the latter finally said: "Well, if you must know, it is because you aro drunk 1" Unabashed, the visitor replied: "Why, of course I'm drunk t D'ye think I'd hie come to your hie blessed theater it I wasn't drunk?"
