POOR TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

r.

Th Hammond "rural" telegraph service, which for a time was a Joke, has been irritating so long that it has assumed the proportions of a nuisance. I The Idea of a- city of the size of Hammond having telegraph service from 8 ja, m; until 8 p. m. with a long hour in the middle of the day when there Is no service of any kind, Is an Imposition on the part of the company which

owns the franchise for supplying the

The telegraph companies have taken advantage of the recent strike to curtail service In all parts of the country to an extent that is altogether

unwarranted. In the large cities they stations and in smaller cities where they. have dispensed with one operator Ihaving a night service. But Hammond

towns of Its size and importance. It not only has no longer a night, but It 'can scarcely be said to have an evening service, 8 o'clock being in truth, just the edge of the evening. While it might be a bit unreasonable for Hammond to expect an allnight service, it is not unreasonable to ask service up to 11 o'clock, which It enjoyed up to a short time ago. The Idea of persons to whom important messages of a business nature or of death or sickness are addressed, having to wait twelve hours for their receipt or delivery, in a community which supports the telegraph service so generously as does Hammond, is little short of preposterous. Incidentally it might be remarked that no wealthy company has any real moral right to expect one lone operator to hold down a. desk in its service for twelve long, hours, with an hour's nooning. The operators are not paid in proportion to such long hours. On the whole the people should arise -in their might and demand better service. If enough cities and towns which as, suffering as Hammond is, from a country town railroad station service 'would unite in an effort to have restored their old time-service, there 13 small doubt that it would be forth-coming. The long suffering public is to blame for much it has to endure, because of its own inertia.

"THIS DATE IN HISTORY." April 22. 1707 Henry Fielding, the "father of the English novel," born near Glastonburg, England.

' THIS IS MY 54TH BIRTHDAY." Father Denis Schuler. The Most Rev. Father Denis Schuler, superior-general of the Brothers Minor of St. Francis, popularly known as the Franciscan Fathers, was born in France, April 22, 1854. In 1871 he entered the monastery of Fulda. Expelled from Germany at the time of the Kulturkampf, he took refuge In Belgium and was ordained a priest in 1878, and later was sent to France to establish a monaatfirv. p.anuh fr.m

r - . France by the decree of 1880, he came i to the United States, where, as a missionary he worked long and ardently. He was of the Franciscan mission at Paterson, N. J., when he was recalled to Germany, having been. elected provincial In 1893. After serving four years in that office he was, in 1903, made superior-general of the order. He ha3 under his direction 18,000 religious of the first order, some 10,000 and Franciscan Sisters, and the third order of St. Francis, consisting of lay prersons, now numbering about 890,000.

Perhaps Hobson and Longworth can be induced to tarry in Jericho a little while and let their whiskers grow. Some Hammond people arc always looking for an excuse to make an excuse.

Daily Round

An Indianapolis traveling man who struck Hammond last night said that Inside of two months business would bo humming along all lines, which we all hope Is true. An East Chicago man who evidently doesn't like Mr. Roosevelt Tery "well says that It Is a mistake to ay that he uses the big stick, says he uses brass knuckles. Thinking that things were a little dull perhaps Mrs. Grace Snell-Coffin-Coirin-Walker- Coffin-Love of Chi. 6 times wed and 8 times divorced has applied for another separation. The stories of some of these starving; foreigners reminds us of the stage heroine who with her hands blazing with Jewels, yells out during the action of the play "Save me, no home, not a cent to eot and me and me chee-ild starving." But' of course you can't make a dejeuner a la fourchette out of sparklers. IN POLITICS Stat Senator John C. Farber, a prominent Indiana politician and a republican, died at Frankfort, Ind., yesterday morning. He was a hard worker in the last session of th senate. M. C. Landls, formerly associate editor of the News-Times at Goshen has been elected vice president and secretary of th Pennsylvania Securities company, and will soon leave Scranton, Pa., where he located' last fall, to locate permanently in Pittsburg. Chairman Dick Schaaf and Secretary Fred Crumpacker of the Lake county contest committee have begun to figure on what speakers will ba put into Hammond and other North Lake county cities during the campaign. It is a cinch that Watson will be. It Is quite probable that a special train will run from Hammond to Gary on the second of May for the democratic county convention. It will take Crown Point, Lowell and Hammond democrats to the scene of the political battle. Edward O. Wells of Laporte has an nounced himself as a republican candidate for the nomination for sheriff. Wells was deputy under Sheriff Small. W, A. Anstlss, tha present deDutv sheriff, is also a candidate for the same nomination. Warsaw, Ind., April 21. "Governor J. Frank Hanly is deader than a tack politically," declared Michael Fanning of Philadelphia, during the course of an address at the Kosciusko county Prohibition convention yesterday. "He'll any" kind," continued the speaker, "and where did Watson, Goodwlne and the other 'rummies get their votes? At Lafayette, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute and the other liquor centers. They have placed the old whisky gang In charge. would suggest rotten-egging Ed Shields, Wilson and a few others up at Indianapolis." Fanning has been In Indiana for some time and his speeches have been of an ultra-political order. The Prohi bition party polls about 200 votes in Kosciusko county. South Bend, Ind., April 21. Th at titude of Charles W. Miller In regard to the congressional race in the Thirteenth is puzzling numerous local politicians. When Mr. Miller's nam was first mentioned he was not at his homo in Goshen, but he then gave, the word to close friends that he would accept the honor if it were given him. In the meantime, District Chairman John L. Moorman came out as an avowed candidate, and his action was construed her as putting Miller out of It Now, however, the Goshen man has returned to his home and announced that he has not decided what his final action in tho matter may be. He has many friends In this county who would probably have backed him from the first had he given the word that he might become an avowed candidate, and they are now considerably puzzled. Judge E. K. Cheadle has announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor of Montana. He is a Spanish war veteran and well known as a Jurist. Not having been entangled in any way In the copper war, h is regarded aa a particularly strong candidate. His home is in LewIston. J. E. Swearingen, a blind professor at the South Carolina Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, has announced his candidacy for state superintendent of education of South Carolina, Pro fessor Swearingen Is a nephew of Senator B. R. Tillman and Is said to bear a striking resemblance to his uncle. Several score of well know demo crats of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland have formed the George Gray League to work for

The Lake Erie and Western has broken away from the Central passenger association agreement and has promised to grant a rate of a cent a mile to Kokomo on account of the G. A. R, encampment May 20. Thieves have become so bold In the state house at Indianapolis that they steal alunmi numbers from the doors of the offices, have tagen hinges from the doors and faucets from the pipes. A go-cart was taken from the governor's own offices. In the only log cabin In Anderson Easter was joyously celebratey by the marriage of Edward Lane, aged 86, to Mrs. Anna Burns, 46 years old. Many friends of the old couple were present at the ceremony. Anthony Hahe, pianist for the St. Lawrence Catholic church of Muncie, is probably th youngest musician holding an important position in church. He plays creditably and is only ren years old. Mayor E. J. Fograty of South Bend, tilted the lid in South Bend on Easter Sunday and as a result the saloons did a fine business. This Is regarded as the throwing down of the gauntlet to the council which recently threatened his impeachment for failure to enforce the law. In Brazil, of the fcfrty-six saloon keepers who were put out of the business, eight have decided to embark In the grocery business. It is generally believed that the town can support that the nomination of Judge Gray of Dela ware for president. The promoters of the league believe that the four states they represent, with the addition of West Virginia, will vote on on the first ballot at the Denver convention for Judge Gray. BECKER IHfiOITS Will Speak Before Indiana Municipal League in June Next. The city of Gary is to take a prominent part in the coming meeting of the Municipal League of Indiana, which Is to be held In Laporte on the 23d, 24th and 25th of this month. President of the town board, Thomas E. Knotts, will make one of the principal addresses and his subject will be, "Should Taxpayers of the City Pay the Same Rate of Taxation as Those Living in a Vicinity Where Gravel Roads are Constructed and Maintained?" Mayor Becker of Hammond will speak on the "Liquor Question as Affecting Cities" and It is expected that he will go to the meeting about as well advised on the subject as any of the executives from Indiana municipalities. Hammond has probably added more saloons to the list during the past year than any city in the state, including Indianapolis, and there have probably been as many saloons gone out of the business voluntarily as in any city In the state, and so tho mayor's address is sure to be of Interest. Among those who will be present will be James E. Watson and Thomas Marshall, the republican and democratic nominees for governor. More interest is being taken in the matter by northern Indiana cities this year than ever before on account of the fact that the meeting is being held in Laporte, a northern Indiana city.
