WILL MASONS STAND FOR PUPPYISM? Editor Lakh County Time3 I presume to think that the Masonic fraternity of Hammond with whom I have mingled all my life will not oountenance the display of splenetic puppyism in the criticism of my conduct as a reporter and gentleman at tho ceremonies marking the laying of tho corner stone of the Masonic temple, printed in the Hammond Daily News and written, as matter of acknowledgement and boast, by Fercy A. Parry, the city editor of that paper. My respect for Journalistic ethics impels me to step out of my Job, as it were, for the nonco to reply to Mr. Parry's bilious diatribe. I have no assurance from you that you will print this as I know very well that the policy of The Lake County Times Is not to turn and bite the dog that snarls, but go on peaceably attending to Its own business, making no more enemies than come naturally with tho process of making friends. One would naturally think when an event passed off as harmoniously and imoothly as the banquet and the corner "stone laying last Wednesday, that a reporter with the proper sense of propriety would have overlooked what appeared to him (and no one else) to be tho over-enthusiasm of a fellow reporter. Mr, Tarry did nothing of the kind. He took tho first opportunity to make the following statement about a competitor in the business of getting the news. "The vice president was much annoyed by Roscoo E. Woods, a re porter for a Hammond paper, who had Impudently crowded his way to the speaker's banquet table and was mak ing longhand notes of the vice presi dent's talk only intended for Masons. It was Woods who also embarrassed the distinguished guest of honor earlier In the day at the corner stone laying by shouting 'Fairbanks," at him in order to get him to look his way so that the reporter could get a snapshot." Those who know the facts and do not rely upon a distorted and garbled ac count of the activities of the reporter in question know that Mr. Parry has deliberately misrepresented him and even overstepped himself far enough to tell an untruth. I attended the Masonic banquet upon the invitation of Mr. J. G. Ibach, one of tho high officials of the fraternity, for tho express purpose of represent ing the paper with which I am con nected. Upon my arrival at tho banquet- hall. I was cordially greeted by tho Masons with whom I came in contact and was escorted by Charles Dyer to a place at the banquet table. Taking it for granted that the tendering of an invitation to a repre sentative of the pr-Bs, not a Mason, presupposeri the fact that I was want ed in my professional capacity, and at once began taking notes of the speech I was sent to get a picture. It was my business to get It. Before the cere monies began I simply called the vie president to get htm to look around. The vice president smilc-d at the ruse and tipped his hat. Everybody in th crowd but Percy Parry laughed. Just to show how much annoyed Vice President Fairbanks was. I went to the offlca of J. Q. Ibach after the banquet and found all of the grand officer and the vice president there. Mr. Ibach introduced me to the vice president and the vie president got up and shook my hand warmly. When I came to Hammond, Parry and I were friendly. The only thing that stands between us today is the fac that I dared enter the Hammond Jour r.alistic field. I dared to go after an get all the Chicago correepomlenso could handle. This Is the sum total o my sinning against Parry and hence the unprofessional attacks. Parry has established a reputation for himself as a hard loser. He goes about the streets with a sour face. H nas en ms iormer preeminence as th only reporter In Hammond vanish, If hat become peevish about it. He 1 In Lis Journalistic second childhood He is frantic when he orders the waves to reced. and they will not. Parry the ''old maid" of the local Journalistio field will probably keep packing at the reporters of The Lake CouffTY Times as he has done eve (since the paper began, but with few exceptions h will probably be Ignored

THE PLOT THICKENS. So the new "West Hammond board did not act after all on the question of renewing the saloon licenses. The board is proceeding with caution and Incidentally putting out a few feelers. One significant fact at least developed at last night's meeting. This cropped out when it became known that S. K. Markman. stands a good chance of being retained as village attorney. Tho new village board is not appointing Markman for love of him. It has some ax to grind. That ax is but ill concealed. Markman has threatened repeatedly to put the dives out of business and he claims in this connection to have the backing of no less formidable an ally than the states attorney for Cook county. It would be humiliating to the village board to have tho states attorney step In and wipe out the evil which for so long has been a disgrace to West Hammond and a menace to neighboring communities, and then have Markman wear away the halo. If it is to be a case of no dives the board would like to participate in at least a modicum of the credOn the other hand If the only man n West Hammond who has taken in terest enough in the situation to make noise as though he meant business n the dive proposition, is an employe f the board he might consent to sheath his big stick. In any event it ehooves the village board to go slow. Markman may be bluffing and he may not, but he is a good man to have as a friend from any point of view. There still a forlorn hope of making a irtue of necessity in caso the necesity of putting tho dives out of busi ness exists ana tne ooara is in ngnt n that proposition. And there is another and better hope that with Markman placated, all controversy as to the renewing of the much mooted licenses may fold its tent like the Arabs and as silently steal away. GIVE COMPANY FREE HAND. In asking for franchises for the treets, alleys and highways In Gary, the United States Steel corporation do ot appear to have tho "grab all' tend encies that one would suppose on the mere mention of the fact. The company will Invest huge sums of money n their business, and what seems more fitting and proper than that they should havo some little say In the direction f the affairs of a municipality wheren they have had such a large share of the making? Up to the present time they have expended thirty-five milions, and in the near future will inest a like sum. To successfully oper ate this business they must needs have large force of employes. Gary Is to be the homo of these employes, and without the aid of the company, the tidy homes, clean streets and modern mprovements would be little thought of by scheming Individuals and foreign and grabbers who would soon con trol even the necessities. The plan of he company is to provide homes at Ivlng rates. They win provide gas, electricity, proper sidewalks, street and traction facilities. All they ask Is the franchises and they will make Gary, and in fact, all of Lake county, a rival of the largest commercial cities and counties of the world. With the ad ent of thousands of mechanics and their families the growth of the city would soon get beyond the manage ment of a few men and the result would be disastrous to the very source of the foundation of the city itself. Studied from a business standpoint the comnanv seems to ask only what Is fair and resonable. WITH THE AUTHORS A new novel by the author of "Eliza beth and Her German Garden" will be published in June. It is called "Frau lien Schmidt and Mr. Anstruther." It is a love story told from the girl's point of view, with a background of life In a little German town. Richard Harding Davis will make a contribution to motor fiction with his forthcoming book, "The Adventures of the Scarlet Car." It is an account of some exciting experiences that hap pened to the Scarlet Car and to the girl and the men who were In It. The new story will be illustrated by Frederick Don Steele and be published in June. The London Spector pronounces Mr. Howells "one of those Just and genial observers who can make comparisons without offense." His new book, "The Eye of the Needle," treats in his humorous and whimlscal fashion the vis it of a traveler from Alturla In America, where he weds an American wife and takes her back with him to his own remarkable country. The significance of tho title "The Eye of the Needle" is tho difficulty which the rich young woman finds in renouncing her fortune to go away with the Altrurian to tho strange land where there is no need nor use for money. Margaret L, Wood's new book, "The Invader," which comes out this week, t a dory of a woman with a dual per sonality. In one phase, the normal condition, the woman is good, simple and devout; In the other phase she is alluring, enticing and seductive. Her husband falls in love with one person ality and i dismayed when the other ! revealed to him. Another man falls madiy in love with the other person fclUy and is equally bewildered at the manifestations of the opposite phase. Meanwhile the wife Is Jealous of her own self, of the fact that her husband adores her when she is one person and is coldly critical when she Is another. The story has unusual dramatic possibilities. Thoughtful Hours. You greatly need certain free hours In which, you could recollect yourself. Try to steal some, and be sure that these little partings ot your days will be your best treasures.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, May 3. WHEAT Early prices showed gains of about a half a cent over last night's close. The May option scored another new high rec ord on the crop, selling over 82 cents. After the opening flurry, however, lib eral selling orders to realize profits This class of selling was more than the market could stand, a break of cent a bushel resulting. Reports from the southwest were rather conflicting, although generous rains over the east ern portion of Kansas was reported and induced selling for both long and short account. Cash demand only fair The bull feeling is still apparent In the wheat pit, another buying wave is more than likely to appear tomorrow. The crop killers have the market well in hand. The close was rather weak. CORN Has been weak all day with the selling pressure more prominent than usual. One of the leading bull houses was the largest sellers. Llqulda tios by longs was in evidence all day The market closed with a decline of about three-quarters of a cent for the day. OATS Efforts to take profits by the leading bull party caused quite a severe break In the May futures. It was on top all during the session. The more deferred futures did not weaken but fractionally. Cash oats In the sample market closed two cents lower. The speculative market ruled lower after the opening flurry and closed weak. PRODUCE MARKETS. Chicago, May 3.

Wire to Lake County Times. HEARD ON THE BOURSE It was not the pool that was accused of selling Union Pacific yester day, but the people who had bought stock sold by the pool on the preceding day. That the popular estimate of the intrinsic merit of the stock has I not been greatly lowered by the oc currences of the last few months seems probable from the fact that investment holdings do not come upon the market. This morning's Sun says: "Not only was the London stock exchange closed for the usual May holiday but there was a complete absence of any foreign Interest in our market. It will be in teresting to see what side London will favor today, as on Tuesday it showed some disposition to buy stocks. The reaction since may bring a larger vol ume of buying orders from the other side or It may have the contrary ef fect." ine most Important news Item of the day was the announcement that the holders of the Atchison preferred and common stocks would have the privilege of subscribing for a 12 per cent allotment of new five per cent concertible bonds at par payable In in stallments, 30 per cent next July, 35 per cent In January next and tho rest n July, 1908. The bonds will run ten years and will be convertible into com mon stock to an equal amount A. O. Brown & Co. No direct effect of the d eclaration of teel common the regular dividend on s or the good showing in earnings was reflected yesterday in the steel stocks. There had been some buying of steel common that is, odd lot buying on the hope of Its establishment on a 4 per cent basis. It was surprising the number of persons who hold odd lots or steel. IT it were put on a 4 per cent basis again it would become one of the most popular of investment Issues for persons with limited money. A. O. Brown & Co. This morning's Times says: "No special interest in any special phase of the market could be noticed In any of the brokerage offices. There was a great deal of scalping trading and much difference of opinion as to the real character and ultimate movement of prices. Some of the professionals were inclined to be bullish on specific stocks, such as Copper, but they did not take a positive position on any other issues. Features of the market were some strength in North American, I Consolidated Gas and Manhattan. There j has been a notably strong undertone In this last stock for several days, but no precise information aa to the cau of it can be obtained. The vagaries of Union Pacific were ascribed to profit-taking and professional opera tions, but as already pointed out, gen eral factors were adverso enough to Influence the Irregular tone." Estimates of the size of the bear ac count In steel common place the out standing short Interest as high as 400, 000 shares. At 114 Reading gave what the chart observers call a strong bull tip, but failed to go beyond that level to make the tip good. The chart showed that a line of the stock had either been accumulated or distributed under 114. Had the price moved above that level, it would have been taken as evidence that the operation was ac cumulation and that those who con ducted it were rea.dy to start the up ward movement. It will take the trad ers some time to get out of the habit of Bpeaking of speculative operations that they do not quite understand as "Gates buying," or "Gates selling" after these representatives of a type of Western operator retiring from the scene of Wall street activity. The name will long remain In Wall street history almost In a place by itself. Sun. A Heritage of Common Sense. Evidently Secretary Taft's unusual supply of good, hard sense came to him as a heritage. His mother says her candidate for the presidency to succeed Mr. Roosevelt la Ellhu Root. She does not want her son to be president and says so"A place on the supreme bench, where my boy would administer justice, is my ambition for him," and she sees no honor In the occupancy of the White House that compensates for the worry and great anxiety inseparable from the office. It is well known that to be a supreme court justice has always been Mr. Taft's ambition, tnougn ne once refused the appointment to keep faith with the Filipinos. He has the Judicial temper and the Judicial mind. His inclination is all. toward the law. Yet It is this very ability to judge fairly, to see both sides, to decide where justice lies and yet realize the claims and the feeling of the other side, that has made him invaluable as an arbiter and settler of difficulties In Cuba, in the Philippines, in Panama and Porto Rico. He has unfailing good humor, coupled with abundant tact and unyielding firmness. These are the qualities that make executives as well as Judges, and, though Mr. Taft's preference, as hi3 mother's for him, Is the bench. Just now it seems that the- people have decided otherwise and have picked upon him as the man in whom they can rely with unquestioning faith to carry on the Roosvelt policies with which he is thoroughly familiar, and to which he Is wholly com-mitted.--Duluth News-Tribune. The Crowning Fofly. Illling ' one's mind with gloomy, somber thoughts is like hanging ugly funeral pictures on the walls of a sunlighted room. j
