The stories that have appeared in the TIMES revealing the fact that the railroads are closing up Wolf lake harbor in the city have attracted wide attention.

Let the articles be short and to the point. They cannot be otherwise than timely. They cannot be other than of the most pressing Importance to the city of Hammond.

And--Fire Still Burns By Graham Hood.

AS. SOON AS THE CHILD has commenced to creep about on the floor It is warned of the danger, of too close contact with Are. The loving mother, with all the sternness that she can command, tells the little one that Are will burn, and that a burn will hurt', but, as we all know from our own experiences, these words are usually wasted. The child, if an ordinarily inquisitive child, will continue experimenting with this dangerous object, until, at last, the lesson is learned, and in such manner that it is not easily forgotten. And this has .been going on since the days of Adam and Eye, and It will probably go" on until the end of time. Moreover, this inquisitiveness is a quality that we do not put away with other childish things. Although we may learn our lesson, so far as the mere matter of the stove Is concerned,

this discovery that the more-experienced mother was right and fire does burn is of comparatively little help to us in mastering out curiosity about the other mysteries of life. According to the Biblical narrative, there was but one tree in the Garden of Eden of which our first parents were forbidden, to eat, and, of course, as was perfectly natural, that particular tree was the only one that seemed at all enticing to them. Still, it is impossible to blame our ancestors very much, for, had we been put in a similar position, it is very probable that we should have acted just as inquisitively. In fact, there is not a particle of doubt about It, for we are doing more senseless things than that every day or two. I suppose that the time may come when a man gets so old and loses his interest in life so thoroughly that he will cease to make so many blunders. This, however, is merely a supposition for which I have as yet found little foundation. Up to this time the apparently aged men whom I have attempted to interview have failed to give me the desired information. One and all agree that they may some time get into such a condition, but they assure me that up to the present moment they are still doing the same sort of foolish things, and, as the result, are still burning their fingers at fires that have the "danger" sign conspicuously displayed above them. . . . : . , Andf after all, it is better that things should be as they are. There Is

absolutely no school that teaches its pupils as well as they are taught in the School of Experience, and, if the tuition is not too dear, the time devoted to such a course of instructions is seldom ill-spent. Moreover, if some of the lessons are rather expensive, the fact remains "that it is the only way in which we can learn them. Our parents, who have been through this school, and who may, perhaps, have taken a post graduate course, would be only too glad to save us all this trouble and expense, but it can't be done. Though

they pictured the fate that threatened us In the most awful colors, it wouldn't make a bit Of difference. "We might shudder at the picture, but the moment that we were brought into close proximity to the danger we should be just

as eager to thrust out our hands that the dreadful thing could feel.

It is the story of child and the kitchen range all over again. The mother

has tried to impart the lesson that

In the hope of saving the child some suffering, and the child, when, she, too, has grown to womanhood and has a child of her own, will try to do precisely the same thing. And It will be just as useless a waste of words. The simple fact is that we. don't want the "say-so" of other people. "We are bound to find these things out for ourselves. "We have been Investigating such matters for thousands of years, and we shall undoubtedly keep on investigating as

long as life has any mysteries to tempt

The child who is burned by the fire it tries to clasp in its little hand pays for Its curiosity with never-to-be-forgotten pain. So, too, many of our

later exhibitions of Inquisitiveness are

of instruction at the always open School of Experience.

Henry Clay Evans, leader of the republican party in Tennessee, was born In Junitat County, Pennsylvania, June 18, 1843. and received a solid school and academic education. Soon after the beginning of the civil war he enlisted as a private in a Wisconsin regiment and served until the close of hostilities. In 1870 he took up his home in Chatta nooga and engaged in business as an iron and. car manufacturer. He was twice mayor of his adopted city and Jn 3889 was elected to congress on" the republican ticket,, though the district

eari-f o Heart Talks By EDWIN A. NYE, Copyright. 1903, by Edwin A. Nye. -ALABAMA." Here is a beautiful story of the "tribes of the wandering feet." A band of weary Indians, driven from place to place, finally crossed a broad river and, setting up their tepees, exclaimed "Alabama !v The j meaning of the word in the Indian tongue is, "Here we rest." And thus, j it is said, a state was named. The sequel we know. Where the aborigines hoped to find rest and a home they found only graves. So of us all. Driven hither and yon, we all look toward the day when we shall cross the river of Trouble and, setting up our pilgrim staves, say to ourselves: "Alabama! Here we rest." But tho day never cornea. You say to yourself: "When my business is established I shall take it easy. I must work now and economize." Finally the business is established. Well, the children must be educated. There must be more toil and economy. Children are educated and married. Well, they must be started in business, etc. OrIf the children are finally established, there are relatives who need assistance or there is a worthy cause that we must aid. And so on we go, saving, slaving, walking the dusty highway of life, bearing our burdens until some day we drop them by the side of an open grave. Is it not better so? We need stimulus and incentive. "We need something to live for and work for and die for. Without these things life would be insipid and commonplace. Besides The burden steadies the feet and keeps the moral backbone erect. When your work is done, and not till then, you can say to your soul "Alabama." And who that is able to work wants to say that his work is done? Rather let us work and wait, so that the epitaph that is written on the flat stone over the grave of the soldier of Padua may be written over our grave: e $ Here he who never rested rests. -4 was strongly democratic. In 1893 he was appointed assistant postmaster general of the United States and in the following year he was an unsuccessful candidate for governor qI Tennessee In 1896, at the republican national con vention, he stood second in the ballot ing for the vice presidential nomina tion. President McKInley appointed him United States commissioner of pen sions, which position he held for five years. From 1902 to 1905 he was the United States consul-general at London RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS We have a picture of Mr. Taft mak ing front porch speeches this cam paign. Gee, what a porch it will have to be. WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WITH A HAT ON THAT LOOKS LIKE A PERFECT FRIGHT, YOU CAN GAM BI.E ON IT THAT HER HUSBAND WAS THERE WHEN SHE BOUGHT IT, This is the tog al a mode made for the "peach of the beach" this year: "The newest color is fawn, in half wool, with a narrow silk stripe run nlng down and a large sailor collar of pink, with Inserted vest to match This is made in tunic shape, with pink belt, which draws the lower part of the tunic into little plaits that, fall ing to the knees, make a graceful cov f ering for the full knickers. Those nether garments button just below the knee. Attractive sun caps will be eeen this year." Wow! No Wisconsin woods for us this year. The beach for ours. Nerve 1 something we admire In ourselves but hate like the dickens In others. ' In the meantime you can almost hear Mr. W. J. Bryan's expansive smile over that anti-injunction plank, in his quiet room at Lincoln. Lafayette, Governor Hanly's own town, is being widely advertised a being wide open again from the Big Four depot to the outer bounds of Purdue university. This Is the time of the year when It doesn't take you long to learn that a lot of campaign cigars look a good deal better than they smoke.

FINDS MANY FEARLS. J. E. Nose of Elwood, formerly of Fairmount, Ind., while bathing in a small stream, examined nine mussel shells and in one found seven perfect pearls. COMMENCEMENT IX FULL SWING. The commencement of Wabash college at Crawfordsville is on in full swing. The attendance is not as large as last year, but nevertheless the number attending this year is larger than usual. HELD CHARGED WITH MURDER, Unless unlooked-for developments arise to cause delay, Emory Cassell of Spencer, Ind., will be called upon to answer In the Owen circuit court .Mon day, the charge of murdering his aged benefactor. WILL CONTEST WILL. Harry Newman of Wabash, son of the late Mrs. Mary A. Newman, who owned the Tremont hotel for years and was one of the wealthiest women of Wa bash, filed suit today 'that her will, probated several months ago, be set aside. THREE GO TO EUROPE. Not the least notable feature of the commencement at Notre Dame at South Bend is the fact that three of the graduates this year will spend the next twelve or fifteen months touring in Europe. MEETS QUICK JUSTICE. Charles Roberts, formerly a travel ing man, met quick justice in the circuit court at Lafayette today, when he was sentenced to serve an indeterminate term of from one to eight years tar the state reformatory for larceny committed at an early hour this morn ing atthe Lahr house. JURY FAILS TO CONVICT. After deliberating since 10:30 o'clock last night, at Bloomington, the Jury In the James Edward Ford murder trial gene to the dogs ana tnen say you wish you had advertised do it now. When It comes to hogging honors, how about the sweet girl graduate -who becomes a June bride? A Tough Old Democrat. Between the excitement of the demo cratic state convention and a bad ca4 of indigestion and rheumatism, the edi tor of this paper has been pretty well knocked out. But it takes more than one convention and a few days' infirmities to kill a democrat of tho true spirit, hence we have regained sufficient time this week to plant our garden truck and make a part of a hand in our office duties.

IN POLITICS Of course the state committees of the two big parties have not matured fully their plans for this year's cam paign, but if Chairman Stokes Jack son can only contrive to keep Attor ney General Bingham everlastingly at it until the Saturday night before elec tion, Tom Marshall will go into the governor's chair with a plurality of not less than 35,000. It is estimated that Bingham's Brazil speech will cost Watson not less than 5,000 republican votes in northern Indiana, where Tom Marshall is best known and universally esteemed. m On account of tho recent floods In Montana the democratic convention in that state has been postponed to July 1, when it will assemble at Bozeman to select the delegates to the national convention at Denver. Secretary of War Taft has accepted an invitation to attend the commencement exercises at Yale university next week, which will be the thirtieth anniversary of his graduation from that institution. The secretary of state of Missluri has refused to file the names of candidates for the people's party, and as a result that party probably will have

reported that it was hopelessly divided. The first ballot was nine for conviction and three for acquittal, and subsequent vote remained the same.

BIG REAVARD FOR MRS. GUNNESS.

Governor Haskell has given his friends to understand that he will not oppose the re-election of Senator Gora of Oklahoma.

Thomas Taggart of Indianapolis and French Lick, demo cratic national chairman, was at the Coliseum Annex yesterday afternoon while the credentials committee was in session. He had with him the mem bers of the cubcommittee of the democratic national committee, whose duty it is to make arrangements for the democratic convention. They wcro looking over the Coliseum for ideas to be utilized at Denver. "Looking for a good road roller?" Mr. Taggart was asked. "Don't need anything in that line," replied the genial Tom. "Anyhow, we have a nice one in Indianapolis that we could oil up and take out there. ., ... ., , .. This republican, national convention looks like an Indianapolis ward meeting to me. They don't do a thing with that roller, do they?" Oh, this is the really important phase of the republican national con vention. And why not? Is it not more important that the banker in Terre Haute gets into the convention than It is who is nominated lor vice preident? That banker helps every year in the campaign fund, doesn't he? He 13 "l l"c "-'" business in the fifth district, isn't he? What would he think; what would he say, nay, more, what would he do, !f ,t v.. ,n .

There is an Immense crowd here now. Every state in the Union is represented, but no state is so well represented In point of numbers as Indiana, not even Illinois, excepting, of course, the Chicago people.

B URTOIJi LABOR NEWS The labor assembly of St. Paul did not send delegates to the convention of the Minnesota State Federation of Labor this year, .believing that the money could be used more advantage ously in local organization work. The union labor men of Memphis, Tenn., are planning again to have representation in the Tennessee legislature. It is likely a plan similar to the one adopted two years ago will be adopted again this year. In order to secure the choice of organized labor as to who shall represent it in the legislature. A movement has been started in Sonoma county, California, to have all producers form an organization for tho protection of mutual interests. This movement has for its purpose the securing of a place in San Francisco where all products can be shipped direct and be disposed of without having to pay a commission to the middlemen for handling the goods. An order issued by the Pennsylvania railroad to discharge all foreigners and employ none but American citizens has attracted much public attention. The order affects only the laborers, as tho office force, operating and mechanical departments have always been operated by English-speaking men. The Pennsylvania system, when operating to its full capacity, employs about 180,000 persons. Suit for $50,000 damages against a labor union, in which it Is sought to obtain judgment against the property of individual worklngmen, has been brought by the Citizens Alliance of Denver on behalf of a marble company, on the ground that members of the Marble Workers' union held up theconstruction of a large building in Denver by a strike for higher wages. The American Federation of Labor will assist In defending the suit. The United Garment Workers union is endeavoring to bring about an amalgamation with the International Women's Garment Workers' union, 27,000 members; he Shirtwaist and Laundry Workers' union, 34.000 members, and the Journeymen Tailors National union, 22,000 members. Tho United Garment Workers union now has a total membership of 67,000. If the proposed amalgamation is effected it will bring the total membership up to 150,000. TO LAUNCH THE SO. CAROLINA. Washington, D. C, June 18. The navy department has fixed July 11 as the date for launching the battleship South Carolina, now building at the Cramps shipyards in Philadelphia. It is a sister ship of the Michigan, recently launched at Camden, and represents the first attempt of the United States government to construct a vessel the principal object of which is the carrying of as many heavy guns of even calibre) as her displacement will permit. The displacement of the Michigan and the South Carolina is 16,000 tons each as against nominally 17,000 tons of the British Dreadnought class. But it is claimed that either of the American battleships will be able to fire as many guns broadside as can be fired from the five turrets of the Dreadnought.
