JUDGE V. & REITER, of the Lake superior court, has delighted, his ' friends on several occasions since he was elevated to the bench by showIns that he will not temporize with those who are accused of attempting to use graft or bribery in his court He has not forgotten the clumsy effort .of a south township farmer to buy his absolution from jury duty and now his righteous anger is aroused because of the attempts of a WhUing man to Influence petit jurymen in the behalf of a plaintiff In a civil action. Judge Reiter holds his court in the highest esteem and does not propose to have Its dignity and standing shadowed by a single thing that even suggests a breath of suspicion in the administration of the courts.- . He will not for an instant suffer the high opinion that his legion of friends have in his integrity and the honor of the tribunal in which he sits to have a single aspersion 'cast upon them. Lake county has every reason to be proud of its superior court and the superior judge who sits therein. There will be many a quake in store for the alleged Whiting jury briber, if the Investigation set on foot by Judge Reiter, ends in the grand jury room. .. ' ' , WHAT ABOUT THE NUBBINS?

'.THERfi WERE TWENTY-FIVE SCHOOL students graduated from the public schools Tuesday night, seventeen girls and eight boys. This Is the size of the annual crop of the Hammond public schools. The fields have ben. prepareC at. great cost. The seed has been sown 'and as a result the harvest is twenty-five perfect ears and the rest are nubbins. Hammond in a city of proximately 25,000 people. It is an Industrial community. It offers the wonderful oportunity of a free education to every boy and girl within Its corporate limits, and yet out of the whole city there are but a quarter of a hundred young people who have availed themselves of the priceless advantages of an education. ' The nubbins, the imperfect ears of corn, .the ears of malse which for eoroe reason or another have not attained their full development; it Is this kind of a crop which causes the farmer his sleepless nights, which makes him., scratch his puzzled head in an effort to locate the trouble. It la this kind of a crop which is causing the thinking men to scratch their heads' every year and to wonder why it Is that the school harvest is not more bountiful. It Is the factories full of nubbins, and the high school with their dwindling classes which is causing the educators their sleepless : nights, if they. have a proper conception of their responsibility. No one criticises the Hammond schools. It is a condition which exists I Jn every industrial community. It is the one great education problem which ' Is yet unsolved. It is the glaring defect in the education system of the whole ; country. It Is the result of the superfluity of theories and a lack of practi1 al ldea3, I Part of the blame must rest with the fact that the child labor laws are i not lnforced and a great deal of tho blame must rest on the shoulders of ( parents who deliberately put their children into the factory hopper and have equ'eezed out of their Immature little bodies a paltry $3 W $4 a week. ! Until the curriculum of the schools of the country Is adapted to meet j the needs of the worker and not the possible college student, until manual i training takes the place of Latin In the public schools, the nubbins will ex- ; ceed in number, the perfect ears.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS The lie has been passed at the Chicago pre-convention, but up to the hour of making up the last page no casualties have been reported.

Talk; By EDWIN A. NJYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. TO MOTHERS. Recently a business man, pointing to a woman and a young girl who were going up the street together, said to on s of the scribes: "Do you know that woman?" "No." "Well, ostensibly she is a lady. She knows how to appear in public and has the entree of respectable homes. In reality, as some of the men about town well know, she is a depraved woman. She dresses well and preserves appearances. She has not been turned out of society because she has not been exposed. "And the young girl who is with her evidently she is intimate with the woman. Doubtless she is a pure girl. She will not be so long if she associates with that woman. I wish I knew her father. I would like to warn him. Couldn't you put something In. the paper about dangerous womjn of that kind?" Which set the editor to thinking. For it Is quite true that many mothers warn their daughters against evil minded men, but are not careful concerning evil minded women. And yet A MORALLY DEBASED WOMAN IS TENFOLD MORE DANGEROUS TO AN INNOCENT GIRL THAN A MORALLY BAD MAN. Naturally a woman is able to get closer to a girl. And from a sullied woman a girl will learn only the alluring side of sin. There will be nothing said concerning the woes of transgression. There will be nothing said concerning the awful decline and the wretched end. And hearing but the one side the girl is likely to be tempted, tainted, ruined. . The woman here referred to is not exactly a procuress, but IN EFFECT THAT IS WHAT SHE IS. She may not literally hand the girl over to evil ways of living. Nevertheless she will damn the girl body and soul. The poison will do its work. Mothers As you love your daughters be sure you know the sort of woman with whom she may be intimate. or drink for three days. He was taken to a hospital, and may recover. Such a story should be pasted in the hats of those people who are prone to complain of every little three-cornered misfortune that they encounter. Emporia (Kan.) Gazette. REALLY! TRULY! Did you know a daisy white, Planted on its head, When It struggle to the light Is n daisy red? All red daisies gardens yieldTo this fact I swearOnce were daisies lit n field; Molly says they were. Did you know that wolves and bears, Hide beneath the bed, Waiting grimly till one dares To put out one's head? Yet they can be kept at bay By a simple planJust n nlghtlight on a tray; Molly says they can. Isabel Butchart. Anxious Inquirer We do not think there 13 any relationship between Frank .nd Raymond Hitchcock. One is running a steam roller and the other has been run under one. A GIRL CAN FORGIVE A MAN EVERYTHING BUT FORGIVING HER FOR NOT TRYING TO PLEASE niM. Scientist says that the earth's water supply will be exhausted in 15,000,000 years. Well, by that time perhaps Gary's saloons will be licensed again. When a bachelor sneer at marriage it Is about time to be looking around for the girl he Is going to wed; when he keep mum about marriage there 1 little danger of him poking fun nt It or bothering about It. We read that Mrs. Joseph Lelter was given away by her father at her wedding. We hope none of those who knew Mr. Loiter when he made things hum at Cedar Lake will give him away. They are ringing in that old saw again, "Every cloud has a silver lining," reminding js of those good old Bryan days in 1896. U. S. STEEL MAGNATE MAY PBACTICE LAW. Ex-Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the executive committee of the United States steel corporation, was granted permission today to practice law in the courts of J.his state. The certificate of privilege was signed by Judge Patterson of the appellate division of the supreme court. In his application Mr. Gary gave no reason for his desire to be admitted to the bar of this state. The application states that he practiced law in Illinois for twentyfive years, and from 1892 to 1896 was county judge of DuPage county. Sinee 1900, he states, he has been a resident of New York state. Mr. Gary was not at home 4aU - --

IN POLITICS

"I have had promises for several ticket to the republican convention," said Julian Youche..pf Crown Point, yesterday, "but it begins "to look as if all my friends had fallen down and seems to be no use of my reaching out for a ticket Seventeen votes are all the leeway that Charles W. Miller had over John L, Moorman at Plymouth on Tuesday, and his Hammond friends sigh whsn they think what a narrow escape he had. . ' There was much commotion aroused about 8:30 o'clock last night when C. J. Kern made an impassioned Impromptu speech on the street in front of Richards barber shop to university and telegraphy school students, who were down town In a body. It really looked for, a time as if the campaign of 1908 had begun in earnest. Valpo Messen-i ger. It certainly doesn't take much to wake up Valparaiso. Congressman E. D. Crumpacker. who was in Hammond the other night, was entertained by his sons, Messrs. Fred and Owen Crumpacker, and they took the republican leader over to dine at their club boarding house where the boys were entertained by some politics. George A Knight, California member of the republican national committee, who seconded the nomination of, Theodore Roosevelt at the Chicago conventin four years ago will probably be selected to make a speech seconding the nomination of Secretary of War Taft at the national convention next week. It is said that Senator Lodge, who is slated for permanent chairman of the republican national convention at Chicago, will also place before the delegates assembled the name of Governor Curtis Guild of Massachusetts as the Bay state's choice for. Secretary Taft's runlng mate on the republican presidential ticket. Senator Allison of Iowa, in a recent Interview, said: "The issue of the coming presidential campaign will be whther the republicans or the democrats shall revise the tariff. It is certain there will be revision, and I feel sure that the republican party will be chosen to do it." . Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois is said to be slated for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions of the republican national convention. Senator Hopkins is a Cannon man and will have a seat in the national convention as a delegate at large from Illinois. THE CREAM OF THE Morning News Taft has made such steady gains in the contests before the national committee that there is now talk of his being nominated by acclamation. It would be no surprise of the "favorite son" nominating speeches were turned to seconding the nomination of the secretary. "Allies" make their first gain when committee gives them one delegate from Ohio and one from South Carolina. Eighty thousand visitors are expected in Chicago for the convention, in spite of the fact that politicians have no railroad passes this year. Mrs. J. Ellen Fotter of Washington arrives and opens a fight to have the platform declare for local option. School census indicates that Chicago's population is 2,300,000. Soul dance latest claimant for honors at convention of dancing masters. Five mass meeting will be held in Chicago today in a final effort to save the life of Herman Bllllk, doomed to hang tomorrow. Mayor Busse empowers Commissioner Hanberg to use his own judgment in dealing with the sanitary district wire problem, and a liberal policy is expected. Mail pouch containing parcels valued at $100,000 is stolen, supposedly at Kansas City. William S. Forman, former congressman and democratic leader in southern Illinois, dies suddenly. Oliver II. P. Belmont, former banker and democratic politician, dies at his home in Hempstead, N. YM after an operation for appendicitis. Minister Wu, in address before the students of the University of Illinois, declares that the United States bears the torch of clvlliation and that China welcomes its rise in the Pacific as peace guarantee. King Edward and Emperor Nicholas receive delegations aboard their respective yachts. Butter Interests of country are at stake in the hearing on cream rates which begins before the commerce commission. Wet harvest weather southwest frightens shorts In wheat, but bulge fails to hold; corn and oats also drop early gains; cattle and sheep higher; hogs steady. Business on the New York stock exchange continues quiet, while the more active shares are stronger.

seen and appreciated. If It's McCutcheon's it's "the last word" in cartoons. . Never In the history of cartooning has there been his equal in the subtle work of peopling a mimic world on paper. For McCutcheon generally is a conscientious mimic and a cartoonist rather than a caricaturist. His advent into the field of pictorial, story telling marked the departure from the old time ment, and as being a "backslider" on the question of temperance by speakers last night at a meeting of the prohibition club in Marrison'e hall, Indianapolis.
