WOEK PLEASES CONSTITUTENTS.
Hammond men who hail occasion to Visit in Indiannpolfs in the furtherance of legislation are lavish In their praises Of the delegation from Lake and Porter counties, said one who returned Saturday. "Senator Dowser lias been a positive revelation not only in hl3 tireless energy, but grasp of affairs. Vetteran law makers of both parties tell rue that in their recollection no other young man that has been sent to tho senate gained go much prominence and Inspired so much respect for himself and his opinions as Bowser. "Bowser Is untiring. His knowledge of affairs, Is not confined to his own district but covers tho state. lie lets nothing go by default. He reads every lino of every bill, no matter how inconsequental It may appear, and when It comes up for consideration he knows It in all its bearings and is not backward In expressing his opinion. "Dowser burns the midnight oil In 6tudy. Ho sometimes misses his meals tc post himself on tho minutia of pending measures. If ho is capable of keeping up tho. present clip, he will mako a name and a placo for himself in state politics and that too. In record breaking time. "In the house Representative Simon end Dwyer are looking sharply to the Interests of their constltutents irrespective of party affiliations. Altogether this section is in good hands."
IN OTHF.R words Governor ITanly declares that no corporation or individual should bo given title to the bottom of tho lake until he has brought it to tho top.
AND still there are places where home rule does not necessarily mean license to the lawless and tho damnation of the "saloon clement."
IT IS beginning to dawn on us that Undo Richard Siebert really takes
himself seriously as a candidate for
mayor of Hamomnd.
THE submerged land bill ran on an uncharted submerged rock.
WITH THE EDITORS. A PROHIBITIONIST'S VIEW.
Hammond husbands should not get the Impression because Mr. Condo's anti-hanging bill was knocked out that
the right has been conferred on them
to hang their wives, as one attempted
to do Thursday. It Is all right for them to "string' their wives when called upon to account for a return home nt an early morning hour, but
when it comes to hanging them, it is going a little bit too far. Indianapolis
Independent.
the land to the menace of prosperity and general happiness. It is indeed high time to discontinue paltering with the loos thought of the loose thinkers. There i3 a kind of discontent that is divine, but there is another of the pit. We have had and are having a plethora of the latter. It is time to make greater effort to discriminate to stigmatize as they deserve to be stigmatized, and to regard as they should be regarded, those who would substitute hysteria for common sense and conduct government under tho instruction of a mob. Of more value than our fertile valleys and plains, our mountains stored with minerals, of more value than all the natural resources of this great country i3 tho spirit of unity, manifest in a
lack of class consciousness, that char
acterized our first century and iuar-
ter. "Wholesome individualism, an individualism that does for the public in
the proportion that it does for itself
has been nourished by this atmosphere and can live in no other. Let partic
ular evils be particularly dealt with, let
definite abuses be definitely recognized and remedied; but the sound of heart and mind should combine to suppress tho malevolence that finds expression in strife-promotion in unfair and envious attacks on the base. of
our civilization. New York Globe.

ROOSEVELT A CROMWELL? A republican of prominence in the
state of New York said yesterday:
"Thierry, the French historian of
England, says that when the crown and
sceptre were offered to Cromwell he
hesitated were offered to Cromwell ho
swered: 'Do not mako me a king, for
then my hands will be tied up by the laws which define tho duties of that
office; but make me Protector of the
Commonwealth, and I can do what I please no stature restraining and limiting the royal prerogative will apply
to me.'
"Roosevelt is too potent for his job;
he dislikes its limitations. Now, in the event of his being offered a third term, he should decline it, and agreo to accept, in lieu of tho constitutional office,
a sort of protectorship of the common-
weath, and then he can do what he pleases.
"Roosevelt, having written a 'Life of
Cromwell,' must be acquainted with the foregoing quotation, and it must grill him to think he has not like power." New York Sun.
TEE LOSS OF MR. HITCHCOCK.
The current number of The Outlook reviews the work of Ethan Allen Hitchcock as secretary of the interior,
and, as its criticism Is honest and un
biased. It Is essentially eulogistic. The article Is commended to the thoughtful perusal of nil who do not now under
stand this nation's lasting obligation
to t lio truly great man, who retires to
private life on March 4. No matter
how able and sincere his successor may
be, it can bo truthfully said that this country suffers a distinctive loss in the withdrawal of Sir. Hitchcock frcm the
cabinet. Fort "Wayne News.
"An Affront to the State." Agreeable to his threat to interfere
in the exeeutio nof condemned murderers unless the legislature passed a law abolishing capital punishment Governor Hanly has commuted to life im
prisonment tho sentenco of William Spores, of Scott county. Spores' crime
was a peculiarly atrocious one and ho escaped lynching only by being taken tc- the Jeff ersonville reformatory where, by the way, he managed to precipitate a riot during his stay. He was known
In Scott county as a drunken, vicious, Idle fellow and his sentence was heartily endorsed by tho community. Gov
ernor Hanly's action, therefore, appears
in tho light of unwarranted interference in the execution of the laws he is sworn to upheld. He has set his
individual opinion above that of the
commonwealth and has supplanted the statutes with his personal prejudices. He is clearly in the wrong and his action in this matter is an affront to the state. Had ho not declared his policy
so cpenly, it is- probable that the clemnency ho has shown to murderer
Spores would have been entirely overlooked outside of Scott county, but un
der the circumstances tho incident is
nothing more nor less than an execu
tive proclamation that tho governor s
whim is to take precedence of tho
wishes, tho mandates and the laws of
the people. Fort "Wayne News.

And how to stew many a savory mess, But she never had done it herself, I

At the hest of a woman who never had

condition which crevaiJed in the stock
market at the close last night was
again in evidence this mornine. Al
though the Investigation which Is go
ing cn by the interstate commerce commission disclosed sottip startlinc facts
n the way of juggling securities, it
was not as had as the bears were led to believe it wonl.i t. Prices started
day weaker than usual, new low
prices were established in Union Fa
ille, St. Paul, Erie, Colorado Fuel,
Southern Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Pacific and a few of the less active specialties.
After the lirst hour, however, shorts
found generous support in a number
of the leadincr railroad shares: shorts
finding the market bare of offerings
they started to cover which brought about a substantial rally throughout
the list. It was one of the broadest markets we have had in months; the
entire list showing fluctuations averag
ing from two to three points for the
:y. Union Pacific rallied from 168
up to lTOVi; St. Paul frcm 1434 to I4334 ; Southern Pacific from S9a; to 91;
Copper from 110 to 1114 and in fact all
tho leading high priced railway shares
at the close of the session show sub-
tantial gains over the early weak
ness.
A new spot was disclosed in the
market, a bear raid was instituted
linst the Reck Island shares which
more or less successful, lhe com
mon broke from 25 to 23 and the pre
ferred from about 56 to 54. There was nothing in the way of news to
cause tho weakness except a lew ru
mors tc the effect that the company
contemplated issuing short time notes
to secure capital. The market as a
whole closed strong close to tho high
est prices of the day, but It is the opinion of seme of the best posted
in the street that the rally will sustained.
HAMMOND'S UNIVERSITY
CLUB TO BE INCORPORATED.
Members So Elect at Meeting Held Last
IVIjjht A'ote on Admission of on-
Collegiates Results in Practical Bar
-Must Have Sheepskin.
Twenty-five of the ex-college and ex-
university students who were invited to
attend tho first regular meeting of the
Hammond University club, assembled
In the office cf Judge McMahon in tho
court house last night and made vari
ous suggestions regarding tho work
ing out of plans for the new organization.
It was definitely decided to draw
up articles of incorporation in order
that the new crganization might be in a position to contract debts and be a
legal entity. A committee of three was
appointed to draft the articles of incorporation, and it is expected that at
the next meeting it will be voted to substitute them for the constitution
recently adopted.
The question of the admission of non-college men was again discussed
and It was finally decided that the non
college men admitted to the club be limited to the seven who were included as charter members and that thereafter the admission of non-college men
could only be possible upon a unanimous vote cf the members present. It was pointed out that the identity
of the club should be preserved if it was to be a complete success and so
the restrictions against non-college
men were made almost prohibitive.
The enthusiasm at tho meeting ran
high and as soon as the club is in
corporated it is the purpose of its mem bers to secure ample quarters and pur
chase the furniture necessary to equip
them.
