WE FEEL SORRY FOR Attorney Gustave Heart of Gary. In the office building -where Gus pores over Blackstone, Kent, Coke, 'jPlllett and other gentlement who have written tomes of law, they actually re trying to keep Mr. Heart from frying onions In his own little bailiwick. There are some people in this world, however, who think that a man Wasn't a right to eat peas with a knife. We believe that if a lawyer wants ?to endear himself to the toiling masses that he has a perfect right to fry onions in almost any place that he chooses. We believe that if Mr. Heart wants to fry onions in one of President Frank Gavit's new street cars, or on the Binzenhof bar, or on" Captain II. M. Norton's piazza, those gentlemen have a perfect right to enter a gentle remonstrance. But sakes alive! In this free and untrammeled country of ours with its boa3ted bulwarks Of freedom, if a man cannot fry onions in his own ofSce without police Interfering, it seems to us that there is something rotten in Denmark. It is enough to make an anarchist out of a man. Mind you Attorney Heart was not frying limberger cheese, he was not making hydrogen sulphide nor manufacturing any other of a score of fragrant, concoctions we could name, he was ' simply frying onions. Some people imagine that practicing law is a private snap. They get It into their heads that to wrestle with torts and thankless clients is one Jmlycon round of bliss. They never think what a pleasure it would be to turn from these tiresome tasks to the frying pan. Contemplate for a moment the glad relief it must be to weep over a mess of Bermudas, watch them fizzle over the oil stove and impart a glad perfune to the contents of the Jaw office that would shame an anise bag fixed up for a cross-country fox hunt. Suffering crockery ware! To the person brought up with the Idea of freedom and personal liberty, the action of the other tenants in the building is enough to mantle his indestructible cheek with a blush that would put a roseate-auroraed morn to shame. Attorney Heart has taken his case to Judge Townsley's court in Toleston. There we believe will be revenged, for, if a Jury of those honest, hornyhanded Toleston farmers ever try to punish the persecuted lawyer for frying onions In his office, we trust that they will become the target for the barbed shafts of contumely for eons to come. BAD SALOONS MUST EEF0BM. IN SPEAKING OF THE GARY saloon Incident, the Fort Wayne News says: "No intelligent man will deny the accomplishment of this remarkable Organization, and liquor dealers who are shrewd and alert have already begun to proceed along the only available line to offset the threatened destruction of their business. Reference is made, of course, to the reform of business. Only fools will contend that the old-fashioned saloon with all its evils end abuses can be foisted upon the future, despite the opposition that has risen against it. Ten years from now the cities that permit saloons (and in the opion of the News there will be many of them) will see to it that the business is conducted on an altogether different plane from that which exists nrinv Re-form has sot to come, and that's all there is about It. The saloon

cannot affard to link Itself with the

of crooks, yeggmen, burglars and cirminals. It will have to go. In small cities, towns and villages it will have to go anyhow."

It Is more than capital, more than labor. It is both combined. It Is ability to do, opportunity to earn, chance to win. With health the poorest man is rich; without it the richest man is poor. The chief trouble with most of us is this: We do not realize our riches. We do not know how to inventory the best things of life. In our invoice we put down some things as money, for in stancetoo high and others as health, for Instance at too low a price. We repeat, if you are healthy, strong, you are well to do, and if in addition you have a family dependent upon your efforts you are rich. At the first thought you might be dis posed to put your family down in your invoice as an incumbrance, a liability instead of an asset. Man alive, there's where you make your mistake! Did you ever see an oriental woman carrying a jug of water on her headl What poise and gracefulness! The burden she bears does that, and like wise your burden should only serve to give you poise and strength. But, besides You need, all of us need, an incentive something to live for an inducement The man without the family burden may rejoice in his liberty for a time, but the day will come when the vanity of sugu liberty will appear.. There will be no stern necessity upon him, no heart compelling force. He will have no divine call to do and suffer. As the years shall multiply the emptiness of life will appall him. But you you have given hostages to fate. You have inducement. Your heartstrings are steady because they are harnessed to your loved ones! You have something to live for, work for, die for. Look Into the answering face of your wife, your child. Is it not so? You are rich. Sometimes the way may be dark and rock strewn upward. If there is joy. there are also fear and anxiety. There must be a rooftree for wife and babies and food and raiment and something over for gentle living. And the cost of bare necessities is large. And some people seem to get on better than you. But do they get the best out of life? That's the touchstone. Can't you see? You are rich. attraction should Write to the manager of the Hammond high school track team. The boys have almost become famous during the past few weeks. Our greatest good and what we least can spare is hope j the least of all our evils, fear. A lot of Lake county people who are bored to death now by it are afraid to go away on vacations this summer because they will be sure to hear the Merry Widow waltz. A change once In a while often helps us to appreciate the comforts of a good home. Gary poked her nose in the spotlight again on Saturday by means of the frying pan route. You simply can't tell what sort of a fellow a man Is until he loses his collar buttons and has two minutes left to catch his train. We notice a lovely story about a frugal wife who sold her husband's old clothes and bought a new spring hat Wonder what hubby Is wearing? WHE.Y A MAX CALLS YOU "BROTHER," IT'S ALMOST A CERTAINTY THAT llE WANTS YOU TO TURN SOME SORT OP A GRINDSTONE FOR HIM. Well, we may not get a new hat this summer, but we can throw out our chest, and point with pride to our billion dollar congress. WOMAN AND TWO GIRLS DESTITUTE, Dr. C. W.

Washington, D. C, May, 25. With congress adjourned and a comparatively small number of political conventions on the schedule, politics and public affairs will enjoy something of a lull during this week. The ships of the Altantlc battleship fleet will spend the early part of the week at Seattle and the latter part at Tacoma, at both of which places elaborate arrangements have been made for the entertainment of officers and sailors. Three cases of alleged murder, each of which has atracted considerable public attention, are docketed for trial today at three different points. The second trial of Ack Hale, charged wjth the murder of Lillie Davids in a cemetery at Bristol, Tenn., more than a' year ago, will be called. At Jersey City the trial of Theodore S. Whittemore is to begin. He is charged with the murder of his wife, whose body was submerged In the Jersey meadows last December. In this city will be held the trial of Gaston P. Philip, a wealthy young clubman of New York. ' who is alleged to have shot and killed Frank Macaboy, a local cabman.

IN POLITICS So far, the Lake county republican papers have not begun to chronicle names of prominent democrats who are going to vote the republican ticket this year. One Indiana newspaper man got out of the state In time to make a rapid rise in newspaper circles. He is Ben Whitehead of Goshen, Ind., and left Indiana two years ago to take up editorial work in North Dakota. Last week he was nominated for secretary of state on the democratic ticket There Is every Indication that a number of Hammond democrats headed by Mayor Lawrence Becker will attend the democratic national convention at Denver in spite of the fact that it is a long way to go. Richmond Ind., May 24. The executive committee in charge of the democratic mass meetln and banquet to be held in this city on the evening of June 2 In honor of Thomas R.

Five minutes will be allotted each speaker in response to toasts and at the conclusion Mr. Marshall will deliver the keynote speech of the democratic campaign. His subject will be "The Campaign of 1908.' Logansport, Ind., May 23. The democratic county f convention today indorsed William Jennings Bryan for president. George A.

The most comprehensive political handbook ever issued In Indiana has Just been sent out to each county chairman in Indiana and members of the county central committee by Carl W. Rlddlck, secretary of the Republican state committee. The book contains a fund of information invaluable to politicians and "political writers. It is larger than similar books compiled by the state committee of former years. It is divided in five parts republican organization, the nation, the state, the legislature and general political informationand contains figures and facts in more detailed and accurate form than any former book of Its Islnd.

Daniel J. Mitchell agalsnt the P., C, C. & St. L. Railway company.. Mitchell shipped 700 bushels of apples from this county to Florida and charges that by thelr being en route too long they rotted and could not be sold. They were valued at 2 a bushel. A novel method of beautifying the Muncie City park has been adopted by the local lodges, which are preparing to set out flower beds representing the various orders. There is great competition among the numerous lodges to see which shall put out the most attractive flower bed. It is probable that prizes will be offered. The first goosberrles of the season have reached Evansvllle and the crop is said to be the largest In years. The prices are low.

Candidates 16 5' BRAVE ENGINEER'S DEED Clambers From Mogul and Snatches Lad From Death. Special to The TimesJ Whiting, Ind., May 25. Unconscious that he was in the shadow of death, three-year-old Paul Palko of Standard avenue, sat on the Fort Wayne tracks nursing a bruised toe yesterday after noon while two feet away from him. stood the huge engine of an extra, eastbound freight brought to a stop there by the engineer who saw the little bor in the track apparently oblivious of fils danger. When the engine stopped the engin eer climbed down and walking ahead picked up the boy and asked what he was doing there. The little fellow rubbed his eyes, spreading: the .dirt on his face over cleaner portions of Ms face and said; - .. Be Stubbed His Toe. T stubbed my toe c-tt a stone and I can't walk." "But didn't you see the entrlne, sea here, those big wheels almost run over you," said the the grimy engineer as he held the boy closer to him. "The engine won't run over me, 'cause it stopped. Say mister, your hands are dirty. Have you got any little boys at home," said the boy looking up into the engineer's eyes. "You bet I have sonny, and I thought of them when I saw you In the track," said the engineer speaking more to himself than to the boy. The latter did not understand but continued his prat tle. "Give me a ride, mister," he pleaded. The engineer pinched his cheeks and told him to run home to mamma and set the boy down. Then he climbed back into his ensrine and opened the throttle, watching the boy who sat down on the right of way holding his sore toe and watching the engineer who waved at him from the cab. s Inmates of Indiana Instituh tion Captured on the South Side. "Oh. mister captain, please don't send us back to Plymouth, Ind., to the Julia Worth school. It is awful there.
