GARY'S PUBLIC SPIRIT AN EXAMPLE.

When a man or a body of men are willing to dig deep Into their pockets and by that process provide for the support of that which benefits the people at large, there you have true public spirit. Enough of this sort of spirit would make a success of any community regardless of other conditions. The Gary Commercial club in recommending the doubling of the number of police and agreeing to shoulder the expense themselves, or a portion thereof If the town can not see its way clear to hire the needed extra men, shows the spirit that achieves. It Is the spirit that nothing can daunt. That the steel city needs a large Increase in Its police force the figures In last month's police records show. Two hundred and eighteen arrests for crimes and misdemeanors ranging from that of the "plain drunk" to grand larceny and even murder. two hundred and eighteen arrests for one month in a population of 10,000, an average of two and eighteen one hundreths per cent, for one month or over twenty-six per cent, of the entire population for the entire year, show a condition that should appal the present force of 11 men. Yet this Is what the Gary police aro up against. And this Is what the Gary business men propose to ameliorate. Hammond business men might take a lesson from their brothers in the new neighbor city. Hammond is at present "dubbling along" with a police force which is altogether Inadequate to- the needs of the city. Citizens have long realized that such was the case, and although the city council has repeatedly had the rapidly Increasing necessity called to its attention, the demand for more men has been persistently ignored with the exception of the appointment of two more officers, provided quite recently. While this was better than nothing, it offered very little if any help to the old city proper as the new men were detailed to service in the Standard Steel plant vicinity which formerly did not need protection, or at least whose needs In this connection were exceedingly small. Last night Chief Ttimbach brought before the city council his requisition for next year, providing for ten additional men. This would add fifty per cent, to the size of the present force and would, in the estimation of those whose knowledge of the city's needs along this line is most intimate, furnish reasonably good protection to the citizens of Hammond. The almost total lack of comment on the chief's demands may or may not have been significant. On one councilman tha suggestion made sufficient impression to cause him to remark incidentally in the course of an informal discussion of the various reports that Hammond needed more police. To this another replied that the police were doing well enough with their present force. And thus the matter was dropped. "Whether temporarily or not remains to bo seen. There Is no question but what a city ought to shoulder the expense of the various branches of Its municipal service without the aid of its private citizens. But when it won't, it won't; and when it hasn't the funds in its treasury, or in sight, It can't. It Is then for the citizens to take the bull by the horns and the citizens in this case means the business men, who can the best afford it and to whom efficient police service is of really more importance than to any other one class of the community, as they have their large property Interests to protect as well as their families. Gary's business men as represented by its Commercial club did not flinch. Let the business men of Hammond show equal public spirit and the problem is solved. THE RAISULI TERROR.

- At protracted Intervals the world stands amazed to witness the presumptuous daring of a seeming pigmy bandit whose power nevertheless Is such as to make the world's greatest nations amenable to his will. A few years ago the high-handed outlaw Ralsuli succeeded in worming a fortune out of this government for the release of Miss Helen Stone who was held in captivity for ransom within the fastnesses of the outlaw bandits haunts for a long period before the authorities in the United States saw fit to bow to his demands. Now the holding of Cald Sir Henry MacLean as hostage by the noted desperado and his men and the acquiesenca of Great Britain to his demands for ransom, forms a topic of worldwide Interest. The deeds of Robin Hood and the foragings of all the noted outlaws in the days of feudalism, seem like a kindergarten exercise compared with the stupendous operations of Ralsuli and his band. It would seem as though the hour has come when the powers of the world should unite in an effort to rid the earth of this arrogant tyrant of the orient. There must bo some means of doing so without involving in his International complications and jealousies, which heretofore have been the means of protecting Raisull's daring feats. There seems to be no doubt that the outlaw is working under the protection of the powers that be in the land which he disgraces with his operations and the nations should seize upon some propitious moment when he has no one at his mercy, to rid the world of him and his satellites. If

small Jealousies and bickerings were to what his carture would be a matter that on the part of those who would be in THE BRAND THAT the weather King Corn in the least. WITH THE EDITORS Constitutional Amendment or Revolution? The disposition to regard the constitution of the United States .13 "obsolete" and the effect to override It bymere "interpretation" are habits visibly growing, especially among the high cfScers of the government who are eworn to support it as it is. The manifestation of these tendencies naturally excites alarm not only among "iTieTi who try to foresee wlilther these driftlngs may lead us, but also among those average persons who were born and bred in the notion that the constitution is a naturel fact much like the law of gravitation and who are prone to feel that under it they and their fathers have done very well for more than a century have done better. In truth, than any other nation on earth. This feeling of alarm is frequently voiced by all sort3 and conditions of

be put aside, there is no question but could be enforced with small difficulty a position to demand it. man is dealing out don't Interfere with Americans, and is Justified. It may be pointed out, however, that there Is noth Ing revolutionary in proposals to change our constitution. The sovereign people of the United States made it, and it is their sovereign privilege to unmake if they so desire. They made It by a certain method and in it they provided a method by which it could be changed in part or as a whole. If they so desire it can be changed wholly The framework of government that the constitution established can be disj carded altogether, and one as different as that of Russia or China be substi tuted. And if the method provided by the people when they established the present constitution be followed there would be no revolution In the result. however, great the change. The real issue is not whether the constitution shall be changed, but how It shall be changed. And when we see men put in high places of power under the constitution, and sworn to support it as it Is, suggesting that "means will be found." that "methods will be devised." that unless certain states "do their duty better" ways will be dlaeovered to do it for them, and even pro

Game is Then Called With Score 3 to a Donovan Wins Pitcher's Honors Against Overall Ruelbach a Puzzle.

The, tToarse thousands, who had filled ev?ry available inch of space in the grounds, cainu away gibbering about how the cubs would have won if things had happened thus and bo. There was logic in their ravings, for in the ninth, the tenth, the eleventh and the twelfth innings Chicago had the victory tightly grasped, but each time the fickle goddess Interfered in favor of Detroit. Some "I" After Game. Things would have been different IF Stienfeldt had let well enough alone in the tenth and not made a blooming simian of himself by interfering with a throw IF Zimmerman and Reulbach could have made good in the eleventh, when . three men were on bases IF Schaefer, the second baseman of the tigers, had not performed a miracle in the twelfth by nailing Chance's screamer with one hand and doubling the side out IF Evers had been a tenth of a second faster in the ninth, when he was caught stealing home These are some of the refrains in the "It might have been" chorus. Truly the cubs can complain that the Fates were not treating them right yesterday. Lament of Detroit Fana. But the fana from the tiger's Jungle In Detroit, several thousand of whom were present, are also privileged to lament The cubs enjoyed a little luck of their own, for instance: IF Schmidt had held Howard's third strike, the Cubs would never have tied the score IF Donovan had not aided the Cubs' rally in the ninth by hitting Steinfeldt with a pitched ball,, and Coughlin by fumbling Evers' grounded, the result Avould have been Tigers 3, Cubs 2. The cubs were indeed fortunate in being able to round out that glorious rally, just as the tigers were blessed by fortune when it seemed impossible to hold back the attack any longer. These unexpected occurrences gave the "fans" more thrills than they had bargained for, sent them home trembling from nervous strain and made the day a red-letter date on the baseball calendar. Cubs and tigers mauled each other to a standstill yesterday in the first game of the world's championship series, and the coveted pennant is no near er the claws, of either than it was before. When darkness ended the agony at the twelfth hysterical inning the score was 3 to 3. The struggle will go down in base ball history as one of the most exciting and dramatic ever played. It was a game of painful suspenses and thrilling surprises, with victory hovering al ternately over the rival benches, and in the last second fitting away in the dusk. Big Crowd See Battle. A mighty multitude, 24,377 in number ! watched the tide of battle ebb and flow, its cheering excitement passing into screaming frenzy as climax was piled on climax. Although the total fell short of breaking records by a narrow margin, the gate receipts were the largest ever taken in at a ball game. The gross proceeds were $29,162.50, of which the players' share will be $15,747.75. Under the rules of the Beries the tied score makes It a "no contest," and thus adds materially to the largess of the players by permitting them to share in the receipts of five games instead of four. Donovan vs. Overall. Donovan, known to fame as "Wild Bill," pitched for the Detroit team, and Overall for Chicago. The twirling honors went to the former, though the giant Orval was in excellent form. Overall was taken out of the game in the ninth inning, when the cubs needed a stronger batsman, and Ruelbach followed him in the box, proving a complete puzzle for the tigers. Mullin will officiate for Detroit in today's game and either Pflester or Ruelbach for Chicago. Yesterday's showing, in which tiger luck was a prominent feature, makes the cub fol lowers confident of victory. FIRST INNING. Detroit Four balls put Jones on first to start the series. Overall couldn't get one over the plate for Davy. Schaefer failed to sacrifice and finally hit to Steinfeldt, Jones being forced at secclaiming that the "Indestructible states" of this "indissoluble union" may bo destroyed on the theory that they neglect their work and that the nation can do It better anyhow then that real issue is raised. And when we see and hear such men endeavoring to read into the constitution grants of power to themselves which no one ever dreamed before could be found there when we hear them, for instance, contending that under a "post roads" clause the nation may take control of every local highway of every kind in this Union, and that under a clause granting power to regulate commerce between the states they may go into every state and regulate production there then we have real causa for alarm. And when we hear and see such men plainly trying to use the powers confided to them by the people to bring about changes in the constitution, not In the orderly way of submitting their proposals to the people and obtaining their decision, but by legislature construction. Judicial interpretation, and even bald administrative decree, then the peole can conclude only that they are threatened with downright usurpation of their sovereign rights, about which they must be actively concerned and against which they must make ready to fight.

Wednesday. October 9, 1907.

A Story for Young Folks By MARION IIZAIH FREEMAN drew her sister, since dead, and another woman whose name she refused to divulge, into the plot. The unknown woman was pet to watch the child when It was taken out for its dally airing, for it had been observed that the nurse was In the habit of leaving her charge and its cab on the sidewalk, while she went into talk a few minutes with the servants of tuu of the houses up the avenue. For days the child and the nurse were shadowed and nt last the woman saw her opportunity. She seized the sleeping child, unseen by anyone. She and Mother Lundie had figured that there was small risk cf any one suspecting that the baby would be concealed on the very Premises of its parents, so the woman, scudding: down back alleys carried the child in a circuitous route iue Methven stables over which Mother Lundle and her husband the coachman lived. Mrs Lundle had bt-en taking care of her sister's baby which was of the Fame age as the little Methven heiress. So if the child cried, those who might overhear would take it for granted that Mother Lundle's young niece was responsible for the noise. Meanwhile it would be easy to keep the Methven infant out of sight. As dangerous aj the scheme appeared, it worked exceedingly well. Its very boldness threw all the detective off the track. So it came to pass that for several daya while the excitement over the missing child was at its height, the little one was being harbored within Its father's stable. Then one dark night the little Margaret Methven was spirited away to the sister's house in a distant part of the city. Meanwhile the city police and eery private detective agency of repute in the entire country, had been set on the trail. A veritable king's ransom was offered for the child's return, and descriptions ot her appearance and of what she wore when stolen, were scattered broadcast. But the more Mother Lundle contemplated her crime and the greater became the furor the more fearful was the woman to disclose the little one's whereabouts. She was not anxious to take a chance on being sent to tho penitentiary and she could figure no safe scheme ot restoring the child to its parents. In her. guilty heart she was afraid suspicion would be directed against her if she brought it back, claiming . to have found it on the street, according to her original plan. Her accomplices, on the other hand would consent to no other method that she could suggest. Mother Lundie finally washed her hands of the entire matter, having shouldered the burden onto her sister. Rumors of detectives prowling about the neighborhood caused the sister to finally seek safety in flight, taking with her the little Margaret to whom she had become really somewhat attached in spite of her evil heart. Meanwhile the latter had quite outgrown the description furnished the police and the detectives, and published far and wide. Two or three years passed and finally, the sister, wearied of the responsibility of caring for the little one, and wishing to return to her native city, decided to run the risk of getting herself into trouble, by boldly placing Margaret as an orphan, within St. Luke's asylum. Mother Lundle had since kept more or less track of the child, from mere motives of curiosity. Then too, she thought she might some day summon up the courage to offer her information to Mr. Methven for money, on his promise to hold her harmless for all blame. But she never reached thl3 point of courage until the day of her death, and then either a fear of punishment in the next world, or remorse for what she had done, prompted her to make what amends she could for her evil deed. "When Father Nolan had finished his narrative, Mr. Methven said: "I have a favor to ask of both of you, which I am sure, even before - asking, you will honor. This is that until the matter has been thoroughly Investigated, you will keep what you have learned a profound secret. "As anxious as I have always been to find my daughter, it would be a terrible blow to me to find her in a house of correction.
