THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE.

A. movement is sweeping over this country, and Indiana is playing an Important part therein, which is of deeper and more far-reaching significance than almost any other one thing that has constituted a factor in state poli- - tics for many years. This Is the temperance question. The sentiment against the saloon is of ancient origin, but It is only of late years that It has grown to proportions which have brought the liquor Interests to a recognition of It as a menace against their welfare if not against their actual exlstance. A few years ago prohibition measures and measures directed toward the regulation of the liquor traffio, were regarded as a joke the surplus output tt the brain of dreamers and theorists. States In which temperance laws prevailed at all extensively were set down as "queer." Kansas was of these, and no one ever took Kansas seriously. Anything that Kansas adopted was as good as killed apparently so far as the remainder of these United States Were ' concerned. However, Kansas, may now have the satisfaction of calmly pointing to herself and remarking, "I was merely ahead of the times." This, It might be said en passant, is not the only time the sunflower state has had that satisfaction. But to return to Indiana and to Lake county. At the republican convention at Indianapolis Thursday, the committee on resolutions Introduced a plank into the platform adopted by the party, which added strength to the already firmly intrenched temperance attitude. The Nicholson law, as it now stands, which gives every township In a county and every ward in a city the right to say whether liquor shall be sold within its bound3 was reaffirmed as representing the sentiment of the party, but Its provisions were enlarged, the convention going on record as favoring further regulations which may wipe out of an entire county the sale of liquor, if by popular vote it shall be shown that such is the will of the majority. In case this fails, communities in certain localities throughout the county may still fall back on the Nicholson law as it originally existed, controlling the right to sell liquor within the boundaries of wards or townships. Whle the clamor against the sale of liquor has been sweeping over the state, Lake county has not escaped inocculatlon by contact with the rapidly growing sentiment. In Whiting one ward has gone dry. It awaits only the action by the county commissioners to so proclaim it In Hammond the old . Third ward had a narrow escape. Only the failure of the remonstrators to get their petition before the commissioners in time, saved the district from a continuous thrlst The Anti-Saloon league i3 getting in some strong work In Crown Point and even In East Chicago and Indiana Harbor there was recently a temperance sentiment, which had the effect of temporarily closing the saloons on Sundays. The question is one which has so many angles and phases, that It has assumed the proportions of a problem." It has strong arguments on both sides. If closing the saloons had the effect that its promoters desire it to have, there can be no doubt that it would be a good thing. If the passage of laws against the sale of liquor would eliminate the liquor traffic in its entirety, it would certainly have its compensations, though there are those who would be put under a great hardship thereby, for even whisky has its legitimate purposes. There can be no doubt, however, that the rncre drlnkljngwif iqnr doe3 much ygmorja Jiarmthan good In jheIong run to the nersiuia-jUlD-dhedrlnking. i Many homes are rendered unfit for habitation because of it. Many hearts are broken and many lives are ruined in its name. More lives are ruained and more hearts broken in all probabilities, than are saved by Its ministrations and cheeedby ItgnfluenceJ But there is another side. Experience has shown that the mere enactment of laws opposing the sale tot liquor does not have the effect of stopping its sale. It has a depressing influence for a time. It works a hardship against a large number of men engaged in the liquor business who are paying, and paying dearly for the privilege of selling liquor. It transfers the sale of whisy to the drug stores, which in that case would become merely a species of high-class blind pigs, and tha druggist reaps the benefit without paying the city, state or nation a dollar for the privilege. In place of that a few policemen who "get next" and are sufficiently unscrupulous might reap a small harvest in the blackmail they levy on the druggist to purchase their protection. It deprives men who have no desire to be affiliated with an Illicit business, of a means of livelihood and it deprives the taxing bodies of their principle source of revenue. And in the meantime no good 13 being accomplished, excepting that for a few weeks or a few months at most, while the drinking public and the caterers thereto are adjusting themselves to the changes the law necessitates, and learning whom to trust to keep a secret, on the one side and to whom to apply for the thirst quencher on the other side, there is less liquor consumed. However, so long as the farmers grow corn and ryle and hops and the other grains from which beer and whisy are made, so long, will whisky and beer be manufactured. So long as they are manufactured, they will be consumed. So there Is but one prohibitive measure, which will really put an end to the liquor traffic. Prohibit the raising of the grains that form the main ingredient in the manufacture of tha objectionable stuff and the problem will be solved. But it would be replaced by another of far graver Import. So there you are. IS THE TIME i PROPITIOUS ?

The Indiana coal miners have gone out on a strike. In Hammond th Journeymen plumbers are out. The underlying trouble of it all is the un

satisractory wage scale. Unless the

by arbitration it is not for an outside party to say which is In the right wrong, nor how their differences should be settled. But a question that

most opportune owing to the depressed financial and Industrial condition

tnrougnout tne country Is that, whether

Mr. Swinburne recently has completed a new drama called "The Duke of Gandia,' ,the scene of which Is laid in Rome at the time of Pope Alexander VL THEJ Daily Round AH men who are out of work are not anarchists some haven't two bits to set a hair cut, poor fellows.

The Methodists in session at Anderson who represent churches in Northern Indiana, selected twelve delegates to the Baltimore general meeting. The laymen have been busy during the session electioneering. The Ohio river at Evansville is still rising. The rise has been eighteen Inches since yesterday noon. It Is believed that a height of forty feet will be reached before long. Richard Rowland, who has a peach orchard near Bedford, Ind., climbed into one of the trees to see how the peach crop was affected by the frost and slopping, fell in such a manner that a lagged limb jabbed him' in the neck inflicting a dangerous wound. Oliver Cunningham of Evansville was stabbed twice in the breast yesterday by Charles Farwick. . The fight resulted from an old grudge. The natural gas in the vicinity of Muncle Is increasing in pressure. This bears out the claim that the natural gas is constantly being generated. v Because the city of Logansport had exceeded the 2 per cent limit of indebtedness, Dennie Uhl, the builder, is unable to get his money out of it. The city was enjoined from paying its share of the cost and has overcome the difficulty by agreeing to pay 53,722.25 rent until the sewer is paid for. After professional safe crackers had bursted open the safe of Isaac Phenis by the use of nitroglycerine, they found they had been rewarded for their efforts by $3.50 in loot. A dog which bit five people In Bloomtears dimming the eye. They may make the beak red but they certes clear and beautify the orb. Well, the beautiful bull con show at Indianapoiis Is all over.

Mr. Frlcke will no doubt second the motion. We cant understand why a girl will weep over the love troubles of the fair heroine In the 39-cent novel and then He down and eat a pickle. There are lots of queer things pulled off in the political game that would make extremely interesting reading, and It would make you gurgle, too. We know a Hammond lady who; brags about the versatility of her husband and she uses him for pulling out basting threads and hauling baby ribbon through her lingerie, whatever that la. If there Is any blessed thing on a Merry Widow hat that you can't name, we should be glad to hear what it is. You cannot be kind without being good and you cannot be good without being kind. The two are synonymous. The weather seems so inclined to be backward that we are willing to give a year's subscription to the Sunday Times to the first person who sees a peek-a-boo shirtwaist n Hohman street. IN POLITICS Anent the Btiletto with which Judge Gillett became acquainted, it might be added that if His Honor had been as good a politician as he is a jurist, Qunicy A. Myers would today he classed with the "also rans." Not forgetting the sword, the Penn. was- mightier than the Lake county delegation. Yes, the Standard hos closed down and Watson has been nominated, but there is still that barbecue to come on May 2. P. A. Parks has an itching to go to the state legislature from there by the democratic support, which we might say, will slightly reduce his chances. Crown Point Register. Doc Sauer was the only one of the East Chicago contingent at Indianapolis who made a good guess. He was for Watson from the bell. Huntington county has a strange race for sheriff. Jacob Davis, republican, was nominated on that ticket for sheriff and the democratic nominated his brother, Dillon Davis. The two brothers are now hustling for votes and there is no Alphonso and Gaston cat at all. Crown Point Register. The East Chicago republican sontingent returned from the convention slightly hors du combat, but with considerable fighting blood left in them. Dr. Fred Sauer, who was one of the three delegates and who was the original Watson man from his section, on his arrival at the capital waa seized

While laborers were grubbing near a small, pond on a hill farm they discovered a number of large turtles. Sixteen of them were captured and sold for 10 cents a pound. Charles Fisher dropped dead on the sidewark in front of a business house In Bedford, Ind., as a result of smoking cigarettes. He was only 17 years old. Brent Davis, one of the oldest newspaper men in Indiana and practically the last of the eld school of writers which made Jack Spence of Covington and others famous, is ill at his home in Newport. The Penn-American plate glass company whoso big factory is located in Alexandria, is closed ond the officials yesterday held an important meeting at which the question of either remodeling the plant will be decided or It woil be moved to some other location. Miss Blanche McNees of Farland, has been asked to deliver a sermon in the M. E. church in that place. Miss McNees is a fine speaker and her sermons are said to be unusually good. It has been decided to make the automobile show which has just been closed In South Bend an annual affair. Thousands saw the show while it was In progress and the sales were numerous. with an attack of rheumatism which well nigh incapacitated him from attendance upon the convention. However the doctor called a pair of crutches to his aid and these, together with the service of a carriage to and from the convention hall, made it possible for him to lend his voice to the proceedings. E. W. Wlckey, who went along In an unofficial capacity to root for Judge Gillett, returned very hoarse. He didn't eat a thing all day when the convention was in progress, but admits that he talked his head off in behalf of Judge Gillett. Mr. Wlckey declares that Gillett had a chance to win, but that he withdrew too soon. "Judge Gillett," declared Mr. Wlckey this morning, "pulled out before his home district had a chance to be heard from. He was literally stampeded off the ticket and that's all there Is to it. All of us worked like tigers, but there was nothing doing." ' . Fred Daniels, who was the labor delegate from this region, being a mill man and for Taylor straight through the convention -until the last ballot was cast, came back with the bunch. So did Abe Ottenheimer, who had trailed along In a rooting capacity and rooted for his favorites like a lutle man. Some delegates to state conventions are awful liars or else some candidate's managers were afflicted with "double vision" pretty badly. Lafayette Courier, The delegates who have returned from Indianapolis are still talking of the Gillett vote and it Is the unanimous desire that the Hammond jurist had waited until all the votes were counted before withdrawing from the race, even though he had been thrown down. Representative Crumpacker appeared yesterday before a subcommittee of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce to urge that provision be made for the establishment of a lighthouse at Indiana Harbor. Valpo Messenger. J. Klrby Risk of Lafayette, the democratic chairman of the tenth district, was in Evansville Wednesday with Mr. Bryan, who made an address there and an Evansville correspondent says that several of Mr, Risk's warm friends there suggest that In the event of Mr. Bryan's election that Mr. Risk might get a cabinet position. Valpo Messenger, The sentiment among the democrats is that J. F. Krost will be a strong candidate for the assessorship. The live spirit shown by the Gary democrats in making unheard of arrangements for the county convention, betokens a lively race in Lake county politics this year. The "I told you so's" are getting in their good work today. Of course Watson would be nominated. There was no other course possible. The Times has on display in the window of Siebert's bakery the tally of the vote as it was taken at the state convention. Politicians on both sides of the fence have been studying it all day and it sheds light on a great many perplexing questions. "Uncle Henry" Blcknell thinks both of the political parties are foolish to Insert such strong anti-liquor planks In their platforms. No that Mr. Blcknell is opposed to temperance reform

hut for the reason that no matter what either party does ofr the cause of prohibition, the party . representing that cause always puts an opposition ticket into the field and robs the parties of the votes they should have, and then does no good.

During the republican state convention the corridors of the Claypool were . j , . filled with loud talking, cigar smokmg, ianaticaily enthusiastic noliti clans. The day after the convention the Indiana school teachers held full sway. The politicians had disappeared and the lobby was monopolized by buzzlng, purring, giggling and frequently sedately enthusiastic school inarms. Abe Martin In ,the Indianapolis News says, "Politics makes strange bedfellows and spoils the carpets in a great many hotel rooms." One of the most dramatic incidents of the convention came when Charles W. Miller went out on the speakers platform to withdraw his name in favor of Watson. Among the other things Mr. Miller said that If there was one thing that would take away the disappointment of his defeat, "it was the knowledge that he had had ihe support and now had the frieno Artie Flndling. He turned to the balcony where Artie had been shouting down words of encouragement and had cheered every vote for his friend, Mr. Miller, and Artie has disappeared. The little fellow knew that his good friend had been defeated and his disappointment was too great for him to bear. The crowd of society women who" tad made a pet of him all day had barely noted his disappearance in the excitement of Mr. Miller's withdrawal and when they saw that the cheerful Hammond newsy had disappeared to bury his grief, their eyes filled with tears. In the contest for the office of state superintendent of public instruction the women had a great deal to do with the campaign. Acil Alexander had an especially large corps of these female campaigners. A young Hammond attorney was wandering about the corridors of the hotel when two women approached him and asked him how he stood regarding the candidacy of Alexander. The young man indicated that he would be susceptible to argument. The woman straightway escorted him to Alexander's headquarters where the victim was introduced to the candidate. "The girls were all right and there was nothing wrong with their activity," said the young man afterwards, "but as a result of that experience I will say that I am unqualifiedly opposed to woman suffrage." Governor Cummins of Iowa sums up the political situation as follows: "Taft on the first ballot, Bryan without a Berious contest, and then a hard, close fight between Taft and Bryan for election to the presidency, with Taft a winner by a much narrower margin than McKinley 1896." won by in SOUTH CHICAGO POLITICS. Well, J. Hamilton Lewis, the democratic aspirant for governor, Was In town this week and made quite an impression upon his audience. Lewis said that Windsor Park was the deadest thing for girls he had ever visited on any of his campaigns. Undoubtedly the Windsor Park girls would take exceptions to this if they heard it. Ex-Mayors Edward Dunne and Carter H. Harrison have been In the south end and still everything is running along smoothly. The democrats say they are making a hard fighL Just a week from yesterday and then you can cash in your election bets. At a recent meeting of the Cheltenham Men's club John H. Jones was endorsed as their candidate. Sheehy and Ringer, the two defeated republican nominees at the primaries, have shown themselves loyal to the party by speaking for Jones at the various meetings. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

HORSE TALK By JOSS GAYTr The first crop of the 1908 colts in this vlclniay was foaled in this city the mornin of April 1, when the blaclc mare "lone," owned by L. Y. Cowl, dropped a nice bay filly by Indiana Dan Patch." This colt is also the first foaled by Indiana Dan Patch and ta say that her owner Is pleased, ia putting it very mildly. The dam of this filly was brought to Hammond "by Mr. Cowi about- two, years-- ago -aacU although yet a young mare and capable of racing for some years to come, her owner last spring decided to Tetlre her to the brood mare ranks. She is a mare) with' a wonderful turn of speed and although she was only raced one season, she took a race record of 2:21 4 and in one of her races In Chicago in 189a she was a close third in 2:15. She afterwards took a matinee record of 2:13 which indicates that if she had been kept in training she would have) taken a record as good as 2:10. Her breeding is such that she ought to makat an exceptionally good brood mare. Snwas sired by Glen by Clay Abdaliahi! and he by Cossurs M. Clay Jr., and he by C. M. Clay and her dam waa Exception by Membrino Time he by Membrino Patchen and her second dam was Chinchilla by Hambietonian. The filly she has Just foaled in addition to all this breeding on its dam's side, Is by a son of the Peerless Dan Patch, 1:55, the fastest harness horse living The horse, who, during his racing career never lost but one heat, and who for the past four years lias been giving exhibition miles for the reason that he is In a class by himself. He has stepped more miles better than two minutes than all the other harness horses living or dead put together, and from present indications will yet reduce his record. This flily has already been christened "lone Patch" and with her speed inheritance, barring accidents she ought to develop sensational speed and racing qualities. ; In addition to "lone." Mr. Cowle has three other brood mares that on breeding are the equal of any in the country. Last fall he purchased the chestnut mare, Margaret M. McDowell by Oneida, a son of Nutwood. Her dam waa Crickett, by Rlnaldo, a son of Volunteer 55, and her grandam by Cushman Morgan. She is herself a producer being the dam of Ferndale. 2:15& and is again in foal to Strathdale, the sir of Ferndale. This niche produced; one, 2:15 pacer arid there Is no reason why Strathdale and Margaret M. McDowell should not produce another equally as good. He also acquired last fall the bay mare Lucille Allerton, by Allerton. 2:09 out of Miss Leo Kex, 2:15 and she has been breed to Strathdale. Lucille Allerton was bred to Strathdale when 3 years old and produced the chestnut mare, Aunt Nettie, one of the most perfect individuals to be thought of, and whose way of going indicates that she Is going to develop extreme speed. He also purchased of the Chicago Horse Sale company at their combination sale In February, the Chestnut mare "Midget" by Spartacees. a son of; Almount 83, The "Midget" has already established a reputation as a brood mare, being the dam of Ruth Wlldmaa 2:09, Ella Willis 2:10. and Lacly Hastings, with a three-year-old trial of 2:16. She is now in foal to Tha Rival, a eon of Chimes and is due to foal early next falL All of these mares will be bred to Strathdale and it will place him in a position to establish his greatness as a sire. There are a srreat many good horsemen who believe him to be one of the greatest living sires with any sort of opportunity and as ha. is now owned by the same gentleman who owns the brood mares, lone, Mar garet M. McDowell, Lucille Allerton and Midget, he la sure to be mated with them and they all being standard bred it will not be at all surprising if ha. yet establishes for himself the renuta-'
