DON'T LOCK BARN-DOOR AFTER HORSE IS STOLEN. - Monday evening's robbery, which beyond a doubt was the most daring trim of Its kind ever perpetrated in Hammond, should serve as a warning other Jewelers and shop-keepers who display in their windows valuable goods for sale. It is a temptation to merchants who have an elegant and costly stock to exhibit the best of it In their windows, thereby making a brilliant display, "but it Is not a safe thing to do. especially in these times of stress and idleness. It is a temptation also, when the valuables are stolen, to blame the police if the thieves are not apprehended, but it is not altogether just to the department to censure it because a crime such as that of Monday was "put over" nor is it really morally right on the part of the merchant to thus place temptation in the way of a hungry or a desparte man or a natural crook. A little precaution could have prevented the affair altogether. Merchants know they have the criminal element to reckon with and by far the best way Is to keep their valuables safely locked within their strong "boxes, especially after business hours. Baster & McGarry, who have furnished the horrible example to their brother merchants, are by no means the only business houses which take a chance on their window display's tempting crime. The jewelers of this city have been warned, it appears, more than once by the police to have a care and remove all their diamonds and other rare and valuable gems from the sight of the light fingered. Now tht the Inevitable has happened, since the warn

ing was not heeded, one hears on every hand censure for the police for at least not apprehending the criminal. The fact that the crime was committed with a stone's throw of the police station t is-neither here nor there. The boldest robberies are oft-times the most successful. Their very boldness insures their success. What seems "impossible is achieved frequently with the utmost ease. It Is the unexpected that most often happens. But the expected sometimes happens too. It was 'expected by the police that some fine day one or another of the many local Jewelry shops would be robbed, but it was scarcely in the cards that It should happen in the manner and form in which it did occur. , There is probably not a business man in Hammond who has not a great tleal of sympathy for Baster & McGarry, for the loss was a serious one. And St is equally probable that there is not a one of them who deals in precious metals and rare gems at least, but who will take warning and make up his rnind that his windows will never supply the Incentive for a similar crime. "THE MEANING OF THE TIMES."

"The Meaning of the Times" is the title of a volume containing more than a score of addresses of Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana. The addresses cover a variety of subjects delivered during the past ten years. This volume Is an educator from cover to cover. The addresses bear the stamp of elevated tone. They are chiefly political, but political in broadest and highest sense. They deal with questions of immediate importance. The author, in it, is removed from the plane of party discussions, as statesmanship Is removed from politics as that expression is generally understood. The past few years have witnessed a rejuvenation of public sentiment applied to social business and political conditions. This sentiment is not entirely crystallzed into popular expression. These addresses come more nearly doing so than any others that Ve have noticed. Throughout is the constant purpose to elevate the reader and the thinker ,io a higher vantage ground to enourage; a firmer grasp on the problems that must need and have the aid and co-operation of high-minded progressive citizenship to insure successful solution. This book strongly appeals to every person striving for higher Ideal3 in all the walks of life. And If we mistake mot, will find a most generous response. :'. The addresses of Senator Beveridge, giving happy expression to present pxisiting but unuttered sentiments of thousands of thoughtful earnest patriotic citizens will be read with genuine pleasure and profit.
