STANDAKD OIL TOWN

Shawnee- township, Allen county, Ohio, Is suffering: from the Midas touch. It has so much money that It has gone the length of extravagance and foolishness in a vain attempt to keep the surplus within controllable limits. It has

built an opera house which in the widest stretch of imagination it will never

need; it has paved tha country roads bnllt palatial public buildings which school children every luxury and -still

Its piling1 up. The secret of this unexampled prosperity is that th.e Standard Oil company, which has an Important depot there, is paying its taxes.

Whiting, Ind., where the Standard Oil

is not paving its streets with expensive brick, building opera houses or furnishing it3 school houses In mahogany. The Standard Oil company is not embarrasslng Whiting with surplus wealth, or if it is there is no outward manifestation of it. It is meeting Its annual assessment of course. Otherwise there might be trouble. It pays into the county treasury and various other state and municipal receptacles some $S6,000. It also pumps the city water free gratis and for nothing. Whiting evidently thinks it is being well treated and is content. Whiting's tastes are modest. It does not ask for gaudy opera houses, tessilated pavements and mahogany furniture and it does not wish to be embarrassed with an inordinate piling up of wraith. The Standard Oil company also evidently is content. The Standard Oil company used to charge Whiting $600 a year for pumping the city water. According to the testimony of the county authorities $600 would not pay for the coal necessary to make the steam to work the pumps. Generous? To a fault. But the generosity of the Standard Oil company did not stop there. When one of Its officials was elected mayor of Whiting the $600 a year charge was thrown off because under the laws no city official can have a contract with the municipality he serves. Now Whiting gets its lake fed microbes without price. That Is a more attractive proposition to the townsfolk than gaudy opera houses and tessilated streets. Still there is a lurking suspicion that when It comes to the levying of taxes they order things better in Ohio than we do in Indiana. WE ARE IN receipt of No. 1, volume 1, of the Daily State, published at Montgomery, Alabama. It is a paper of solid contents and typographical neatness. There are few dailies in the south, even In New Orleans, the metropolis of that section of the country that are more up-to-datlfied, so to speak, than the Montgomery Daily State. According to Its sensibly written "salutatory" it did not swoop down upon the capital of Alabama to fill an alleged long felt want or put the other papers out of business, but Just because its projectors saw an opening and an opportunity for Just such a publication. A valuable and evidently extremely busy member of the staff is Mat P. Ludwig, who is proud to say that he received his newspaper training in the office of The Lake Countt Times. Mr. Ludwig has been placed in charge of the financial, commercial and industrial department wherein his Hammond experience will be of great use to him and of great benefit to the paper. THE AUTHORITIES of Cook county have at last come to the assistance of the decent citizens of our Illinois suburb and neighbor, West Hammond. Nobody has ever credited the sincerity of the village officials no matter in whoso hands the "administration" was placed in tho work of putting the dives out of business. Several desultory "raids" have been made but the unspeakable Joints would not stay raided. It is evident that the proprietors of the joints have been taking their raids with a nod and a wink for they have reopened their places on the heels of the policemen. Now that this plague spot has been reached by the wave that is shaking up Chicago levee districts there Is hope that West Hammond will stay reformed. THE STRIKE BUG was rather late in arriving as wo usually look for It about the first of May, but it is here at last. The Hammond teamsters, the Stock Yard teamsters and the commission houses at the yards will make things look Ilka home. AT WASHINGTON the next congress will take up a bill providing for a parcels post system In the United States. There has been a big agitation for such a bill, although tho express companies are fighting it tooth and nail. POOR VOLIVA is finding that the shoes of Dowie are not so soft and easy es he thought. He is literally beset at every turn and his own people are against him. THE CHICAGO JUDGE was evidently thinking of tho lines "I guess that will hold him for awhile," yesterday as he fined a West Hammond dive keeper $1000. . A HAPPIER, handsomer, handier Hammond is what the people of this City are striving for. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is to take the first automobile ride In his life at Lansing, Mich., Friday. Will he become a convert?

Newspapers the Best. There seems to be epidemic all over tha country, north, south, cast and west, a fever, If the terra can be used, which evidences Itself In the exploitation of municipalities with the aim of increasing the Industries and consequently the population and tho amount of money In circulation. This is laudable and praiseworthy. Boston was one of tho first cities to start the ball rolling: along these general lines and now hardly a day passes but some other town or city is heard from as Joining the ranks. One drawback, although not a very eerious one, has been that, after the money has been raised or subscribed, the iueatlon sometimes arises along what line shall tha appropriation be t j, M. 1'ublletty men flock around like cLi'ktn around the dough dish.

Editor and Publisher. A newspaper Is published to print all tha news, fairly and impartially. Most people are awa.ro of this fact, but man of tbem forget it. Daily there comes requests to every newspaper office to suppress soma item of news, but news items are the assets of a newspaper; they are its whole stock In trade. It is on its news service that a journal is built up and mada a power in the community, and mada to pay Its way. When a request is made to deprive the news columns ef that which rightfully belongs there, and for which tha subscriber pays, tha newspaper is ask4 ,q make wrongful disposition of its stock In trade, to its own detriment, and against the just expectation of those who subscribe for the paper to get the naws.-Sa.lt Laka Tribune.

What ef the silent paa-ticss, too solmn and sad for tears? What of the honesick sighing which only the night-wlad hears? What of the waking picket, guarding the nation's sleep? What of the cold and the hunger? what of the thirst and heat? What of the midnight marching, where, weary, footsore, drenched, The pallid weeping morning shows the enemy Intrenched? What ef the shriek of the battle? What of the after-hours? Oh, men! in the name of God, can ye heal such woueds with flowers? Look to your lilies, Columbia! Stainless they should be as snow. To rest on hearts burned white In battle's furnace glow; And your roses, red as the blood that flowed on fields of death. Their fragrance full sweet to stifle the smell of battle's breath! Alas! if our flowers wete all that we laid on each nameless graye Alas! for us and for them and the sacrifice they gave. But ovar those lowly hillocks, as over the hills of God, A glory breaks from the flower-cups withering on the sod. For they are the pledge of the promise "What you gave to us we will keep." The oath of the nation's waking sons to her sons who are asleep. Frances Ten Eyck AT GETTYSBURG Field of Battle Is Forever Consecrated to the High' est Ideals of American Valor. SEIt Naples and die!" wrote an enthusiast, and gave a new vogue to a moribund old world city by a sententious saying. But to the American whose soul is alive to patriotic emotion, a more fitting exhortation would be, see Gettysburg and live! And bo 6eeiag, live to be consecrated anew to American ideals. Realize and drink in from that historic fount the immortal lesson of "what they did here," that the nation nfight live a grand object lesson, made manifest bo that he that runs may read by Its 600 monuments and tablets dedicated there to American valor. A thrilling page It is that may be read in these silent yet speaking symbols which mark the various positions held by the 640 organizations that fiercely contended for victory during those fervid July days of '63. And punctuating the long lines of marble and granite memorials that thickly etrew the picturesquely diversified field imposingly stand out the colossal bronze images of the leading generals In the commanding stations each occupied, or where they fell wounded or dead, while directing their hosts. While here and there dotting the elevations whence the batteries belched out their terrible shots and shell are grim cannon, in some instances the self same pieces that sent their winged deaths searching Ewell's, Hill's and Longstreet's lines stretched around the town and along Seminary ridge, or hurled them at Meade's embattled front opposite. All the historic landmarks, too, are there, to-day. Away to the west the Lutheran seminary, still standing like a sentinel on the outpost, round which the waves of battle raged and 6pumed and from the cupola of which Reynolds and Buford watched Hill's advance debouching from the woods on either side of the Chambersburg pike; and, just beyond, the undulating plain and McPherson's wood, the scene and altar of sacrifice whereon the valient first corps of Meade's army unstintedly poured -out Its libation of blood. To the east and south, Cemetery hill and its prolonged ridge, along which stand out those never to be effaced features of the landscape the national cemetery, with its 3,575 graves of union dead, the clump of trees or "high water mark of the rebellion, whence Pickett's braves were hurled back in disaster and death; the "bloody angle," and the peach orchard, which saason aftep season renews itaelf in blossom and fruit; the wheat field, yearly 60wn to the same crop, but no longer yielding its "harvest of death"; gTim Devil's Den, a rocky, wood-tangled mare to-day as it was and has ever been since the red Indian and savage beast sought it for their lair; the same wooded heights of Little and Big Roundiop, partly denuded, yet with many surviving ancient trees scarred and broken and torn by solid shot and shell, or trunks pimpled by minle bullets, but fruitful yet with leafy Jlfe. Vanished only are the mangled corpses of tha slain, the rushing coltunas of struggling foeman, the blazing lines, the crash of musketry and cannon's deafening roar, the dying groans antj frantic, swelling cheers. With all these marvelous ly preserved vestiges of the battle still defining it3 varying fortunes, and with the graphicstory of the guides, very little exercise of tha imagination i3 needed even to a stranger, none at all to the veteran who fought there to reconstruct the scene, and once seen render its realization vividly impressed for-

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES.

MEMORIAL DAY Something of Its Origin and a Prophecy es to Its Future. Bj MAJ, GEN. FRED. D. GRANT V nti iaea or this ceauurui cus tom was first suggested and made a great national holiday by Gen. John A- Logan. He was a thoughtful man, swayed by sentiment of the highest order, and a close student of the classics. He read much and frequently referred to historic episodes in his speeches. Py nature Gen. Logan wa3 inclined to be heroic, and so after the war, after reading much about the beautiful customs of the ancient Greeks in honoring their dead heroes with ceremonies and flowers at annual festivals, It came to him in a moment of inspiration that it would be a patriotic and popular thing to likewise honor the dead soldiers of our own country in a similar way. Ue held that to decorate the soldiers' graves once a year in the month ef May with its flowers and blooming splendor, would awaken new sentiments of loyalty and regard for the government among the people. It was a fact, as he well knew, that nearly every household had lost one or more members or relatives or dear friends. Gen. Logan's inspiration awoke a response fn every heart and his movement was soon organized and made of national importance. Grand Army posts wero established in every section of the country. AH agreed that decorating the graves of soldiers with flowers on the day appointed would give the nation new life and be welcomed by all the people. But this is not all. The religious sentiment'. at the bottom of the idea -of honoring the dead soldiers and perpetuating the memory of their nerolo deeds made the day something higher and nobler than anything known in the days of the Greeks. Thus it came about that Memorial Day became the greatest of all our American holidays. It was a day for the bereaved to commune at tha tonSbs of their honored dead. For many years, as we all know, the custom was an event the most beautiful, pathetic amd sacred of oni holidays but later on, as the ranks oi the survivors grew 1 thinner and th families who had contrlbutetd so many lives to the war passed away, th day became more like other holidays a day more noted for military parade, a day for game3 and picnics and having a good time generally, until now the general public are coming to look on Memorial day as an ordinary national holiday, like Washington's Birthday or the Fourth of July. Had it not been for the deep- religious sentiment, with prayers and church services held in honor of the soldiers, Memorial day , would from the beginning in all probabiUty have been attended with the noise and display of tho Fourth of July. Fortunately this religious sentiment has made the people more thoughtful, and Instead of noise and gun firing we have gone in for more quiet recreationcountry picnics making the day more like a festival than a day of mere noise and parade. I think it is a beautiful idea, this decorating the graves of those who sacrificed their lives in the tremendous days of the war and purely out of patriotic devotion, and it la a pity indeed that public sentiment is gradually chiaglng and we are forgetting the solemn lessons taught by the war and of the sacred meaning of honor ing the dead drifting away and making the sacred festival more and more a common holiday cf races, noisy picnics and having a good time generally, with no particular sentiment animating the thousands who should take a higher view of Memorial day. HE MADE A MISTAKE. New Jersey Private Mistook Violin Resin for Shaving Soap. "A soldier named Ed Morton," said a veteran from New Jersey, "was one of the quickest men with the fiddle I ever listened to, and he carried it with him to beguile camp life. A fellow named Charles Foster was his tent mate, who, having discovered a slight down on his chin, endeavored to coax It forward by frequent application of his razor. "One day Charlie was boasting of a cake cf shaving soap he had found, and said that he had used it twice, and had found it Just fine. He offered to lend it to Morton. When the 'soap was produced Morton exclaimed: 'Why, if there ain't my resin that I have been looking for more than a week. "There was soap enough In the brush o make lather and CharlU thought he was using soap when h kid thelfid&e raediclna,"

NATIONAL LEAGUE. Philadelphia at New York. Brooklyn at Boston. Cincinnati at St. Louis. The Cubs won and tha Sox lost and the lead in the race once more changes. We wonder how long this thing is going to keep up, and we hope that the race will be close the year round. The Cubs played the youngsters from Cincinnati to a standstill yesterday and won by a score of 10 to 2 although the hits wero even. Essick and Brown were in the points, and but for the timely errors of the home team the score might have been different as they had five misplays. Chance came back to earth again with his stick and got three hits, while Johnny Kling- got two. The Giants were up against It at Philadelphia and were walloped In a ewatfest by a score of 12 to 9. Ames, Taylor and McGlnnity were used while Corridon and Pittlnger were brought into action by the winners. The miners at Tonopah are worked up to a fever heat over the scrap which is to be pulled oft tomorrow and all work has ceased. Both Hart and Schreck are in the best shape of their lives and when the gong rings the air will be full of mitts and flying arms. Both have a punch that is a haymakar and both are as game as any man who ever donned a glove. The fight means a whole lot to both men and Schreck figures that It will mean a fight with the winner of the Burns-Squires go and possibly a $30,000 proposition with Jeffries. Schreck will go into the ring a favorite, but the Goldfleld bunch will back Hart to the limit, and thousands of dollars will change hands. Hart will weigh about 190 pounds and Schreck will tip the beam at about ISO. After a two day's lay off the Sox will get into the harness today and battle with the St. Louis team. The games with St. Louis and two with Detroit will wind up the home series of the : Sox for the present, and Sunday night the team starts out on the Eastern tour. .Cleveland won again yterday and are

now only half a game behind the leaders. The streak of wins by the Nana

is a corker and it now looks a3 though mey win be tho fighting proposition for the Sox to face for the next ft-w weeks. That Is, If they don"t fall down as mey nave been in the habit of doing during the past seasons. Detroit and New York are still within striking distance of the top of the heap. The Cuban baseball players showed that they had really and truly corped the national game In all dPtaii votr. day when they trimmed the Oak Leas py a score of 5 to 2. With the score 2 to 0 against them !n th frt h'f of the seventh inning they worked five runa over tne plate by the squeeze play. Bunts were laid down in rapid eucesslon and the players scooted for home and first like rabbits. Perez, the star pitcher, showed good control and speed end only allowed three hits. They play at Joliet today and with the Logan Squares and Artes'.ans on Decoration day. Tho Michigan track team left for the east yesterday where they will compete in tho intercollegiate track and field games at Bostc All the men are in good condition and feel that tha dope handed out by the eastern news paper figuring them also rans Is hardly fair. Garrels will be seen In the 100 yard dash with Stewart and his record or 47 feet In the shot put practice makes him look good In that event. All arrangements for the Packy Ma-Farland-Dick Hyland fight, which will take place at Davenport. Iowa, June 25, were completed yesterday. The boys will travel fifteen rounds. They will weigh 133 pounds, and ought to put up one of the best goes seen In Davenport for a long time. Leo Jones of St. Louis won the mile final in the second leg of the roller skating championships at RIverview Park last night. J. Sweeney of St. Louis was second and IL G. McDonald of New York was third. He made fast time, doing the stunt in 2 minutes and 63 seconds. The Chicago Athletio association will have a fine water polo and swimming team ready for tho national championships held at Jamestown during the last week of July. IL J. Handy la expected to land a goodly number of points for the cherry circle. Del Mason, the star pitcher of the Reds, had a change of heart after a good night's sleep and will be back in the fold today. He acknowledged that he was wrong In the matter and wanted to be forgiven. Ho left with the team for St. Louis today. The Minneapolis bunch got seventeen hits In the game with St. Paul yesterday. Buck Freeman got four with a total of six bases, Mertes got two. Including a home run, Greminger got three and Tip O'Neil got three. Scanlon of Notre Dame pitched a no hit contest yesterday against the St. Viateurs' team. He fanned twelve batsmen and allowed only two men to reach bases. Whittier's Colts will visit the Bap tlst Athletic club tomorrow and will play at the Harrison park grounds at 8:30 a. m. Dutch Mouser will pitch for the Colts. Squires and Jimmy Britt gave an exhibition yesterday before the picture machine and Squires is said to have shown up as a wonder. Desirable Japanese. It Is announced that General Kurokl has been no less surprised than pleased at his cordial reception in the United States. It is even Intimated that he came prepared for social chilliness, the unpleasant 'Frisco incident having been interpreted in Japan as indicating the feeling of all Americans for all Japanese. He, of course, did not expect affronts, but he certainly did not anticipate the applause and flattering attention of which he has been the recipient. Its unexpectedness has made this ovation all the more agreeable and the distinguished warrior takes his departure with a much higher opinion of the United States than when he landed at Seattle. It is to be hoped, however, that he will not mistake the feeling of America for Japan. This country Is still Irrevocably opposed to the Influx of Japanese cheap labor with its attendant curse of orientalism. We welcome cordially the Japanese student, traveler or merchant and would gladly receive as citizens the more educated and progressive classes. But the Japanese coolie Is very whit as objectionable as the Chinese coolie and we will have none cf him. If we are to have Japanese citizens we want the kind the mikado 13 desirous of retaining in his kingdom, not the sort of which he is anxious to be rid. Fort Wayne News.

WITH- FAT MAN'S QUARTER. Two Damsels Left the Car, and H Uttered No Pretest. A corpulent man with a red face went to Coney Island one day and sat ln the cross seat cf an open car In front of two stout German women. In searching for a nickel to pay his fare, he dropped a quarter, which rolled almost under the dress cf one of the women. lie realized that he might make a spectacle of himself If he attempted to pick up the quarter, so he decided to wait until she and her friend got out Meanwhile he took an occasional glance at the coin. The women found themselves a.t their station unexpectedly, and - in their. hurry to get out, one of them knocked her handkerchief, which wa3 weighted with something, on the hack of the fat man's eeat. A corner of tho handkerchief dropped and let out a shower of jingling silver. The owner knelt and began collecting the coin3, while her friend urged her to hurry. The man gave a sigh of relief when he saw that the woman had not noticed his quarter. Just then, however, the other woman observed IL "Xatrina," she said, "you have not all dot schange got. Look! Dere 13 a quvarter.' Katrlna, with an effort, stooped and picked it up, and she and her friend rushed from the car. The fat man, who saw the futility of protest under the peculiar circumstances, gighed regretfully and sadly watched them goN. Y. Sun. Children's Companions. Every mother has more or lees of & problem on her hands in the matter of her children's companions, and it Is sometimes a delicate affair to avoid Pharisaism, ill-feeling between neighbors, and the spirit of antagonism at home.

Little children are safest when at play directly under the mother's eye, but, a3 they develop, it Is wise, I believe, to fortify them with right principles and then to trust them and show them that we do!
