THE BUSINESS MEN
THAT ONE FRATERNAL BODY AT least made good in Hammond on ! Saturday is not to be denied by anyone who saw the Shriner's big parade. I
It was the general expression of opinion among the Shriners who came many miles to witness the festivities that Hammond was a very live little city. The business men of the city deserve a great deal of credit for the spirit they showed in, decorating their places of business for the event. Especially after the two fizzles in the fraternal line that occurred in the past, because of the visiting lodge men. Hohman street certainly put on her best bib and every reason to be proud of the recognition they received. None of the business men, except the saloons, had any reason to expect financial returns, but they set to with a will to show the visitors that they were proud of Hammond and proud of their Masonic lodge. It was a welcome to be proud of and neither the Masons nor the business men nor Hammond itself lost anything because of the star fraternal event. WHOSE STEAM ROLLER WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER ?
THIS IS THE AGE OF THE steam roller the remorseless crushing power of the twentieth century. There was a steam roller, a juggernant in society and in business, and now it has entered politics. Coined by the republican pre-convention, the Taft steam roller flattened out everything before it. One week before the national democratic convention at Denver, the Bryan steam roller shows up with ruthless strength and democratic presidential aspirations from all quarters of the nation are giving up the ghost and turning up their toes. Mr. Bryan's steam roller has gathered them all to their fathers. Time was when the presidential contest was a free-for-all, but the day has arrived when conventions are merely ratification meetings. Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan both have sewed up the delegates in their hunting bags. The democratic convention bids fair to be but little different from the republican gathering except that the vice-presidential race may call up a little excitement. Favorite sons of doubtful states are getting some consolation out of this race at this particular time, but it will probably end up with some one landing the plum, whom the great commoner wants as a running mate. All is in reality subserved to him. Mr. Gray has said that he doesn't want it but Mr. Bryan hopes that he will take it. Mr. Bryan has Btated, we are told, that he wants some one east of the Alleghanies. Mr. Johnson is emphatic in his refusal to take it. John W. Kern of Indiana, is prominently mentioned in connection with the office, and state pride will makes us all want him to win, but the main question anyway, is who will be
flattened out under the steam roller the best? "THIS DATE IN HISTORY."

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. IT IS THE RUST. The idle machine is liable to injury no less than the machine that is in active use. The idle machine grows rusty. Air and dampness do damage no less j than wear and tear. Very soon the coating formed by the corrosion covers the bright metal. The parts become stiff. The machine has suffered injury though it has been subjected to no usage. What is true of the machine is true of humanity. For instance You neglect to exercise the working parts of your body. You indulge them in idleness. They cease to be strengthened by use. They grow flabby. The working force is lessened. Neglect of continued exercise of the parts causes the entire machine of your body to run stiffly. It is the rust. Or You neglect to exercise the working parts of your brain machinery. Mental corrosion follows. The rnst of Idleness covers the part?. There is only one way to keep your mind bright. It is the way to keep the machine bright the way of use, of employment, of exercise. Or You neglect to use the moral force that is in you. There is a weakening somewhere. The moral machine begins to let down. Moral corrosion comes. Soon the parts are rusted. And so of society or government associated humanity. Note this: Neglect of his citizenship by the citizen weakens the working forces of government. When the caucus or the primary or the convention or the ballot box, each a working part of government, is regarded as of small importance the rust collects. Disuse causes the machinery to work poorly. It breaks down at some point. It is the rust. And so of the moral forces of society disuse of them brings the rust. Let us therefore keep our bodies from friction by systematic exercise Our minds bright bv u'sin- them ' O . . . " . war sou is Clean i by working them. And, as for society, let US help to keep its working machinery bright and free from the rust that corrodes and de - Stroys. Presbyterian minister he heaves a high of relief.

They are helping James E. Watson in his great stunt of flying around the circle in Lake county. From Crown Point to Gary is the program all in one day. Already the brewers and the saloon element and their allies are making the boast that the next general assembly will pass no local option law. They are declaring that even up to thia time they have nominated enough candidates for the legislature to make the passage of such a law an impossibility. And they proudly boast that even though some of these nominees should fail of election, there will still be enough to tie up the lower house, so that nothing can be done In the way'of temperance legislation.

Wright of Tennessee. Mr. Taft is already in daily receipt of numerous invitations to attend public functions and to speak in various parts of the country.

there in time to take a hand in all that is going on. "Who. for vice president?" Mr. Reiloy was asked. "Of course" replied the accommodating secretary, "Indiana will stand for its son, whoever that son may be. There is a good deal of talk about John W. Kern, but it is well known that Mr. Kern is not anxious for the place and will make no efTort to gain t'ne nomination. And tho same thing is true about B. F. Shively of South Bend. Just what Indiana will do cannot be told at this distance and so far ahead. We will look over the situation, and if there is a chance for any man from Indiana, we will be for that man. But outside of an Indiana man I believe our delegation will be more friendly to Johnson of Minnesota than any one else. In fact, from what I have heard and the way the democrats of Indiana are talking, I believe that Johnson Is the favorite in this state, and we will be for him, provided, of course, Indiana has no favorite son.'" Des Moines, June 27. Jerry B. Sullivan has received a letter from William J. Bryan saying that the suggestion of Mr. Sullivan for vice president on the democratic ticket met with his approval; that he knew of no reason why Mr. Sullivan should not be named for vice president and knew that ho was eminently fitted for the position. He assures Mr. Sullivan that if his .... . . ,, v .,, ambition runs in that direction he will be glad to add his name to te available list. Mr. Sullivan will second th:; nomination of Bryan at the democratic convention at Denver, having been selected for that honor by Mr. Bryan himself. CELEBRATE "CAROLINA DAY This is Charleston, S.

LABOR NEWS
The subject of a State Industrial collegt Is being considered in Massachusetts. It is proposed to establish the institute In Boston or vicinity, and that it shall maintain both day and evening classes. The first use of the word "strike" In Its present accepted sense occurred in the London Chronicle In 1765. In September of that year are numerous references to a great suspension of labor In' the Northern local fields, and In the colliers are stated to have "struck out" for higher wages. The last reports presented on the Gas Workers' Union were to the effect that all the members of the jurisdiction, which includes the unions in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento, are at work, and that this craft has been particularly fortunate in having work for the membership during the last ten months. The Boot and Shoe Workers' International Union makes claim that its system of 25 cents per week dues save It from the fear of strikes and In such emergency does away with the necessity of calling upon sister crafts for financial aid. High dues also enable the union to prosecute more successfully its campaign for the union stamp. Organized labor is soon to have a newspaper system covering the entire country. A syndicate has been formed and the enterprise capitalized, it is said, to the extent of issuing a paper in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis. Denver and San Francisco. Publication will begin September 1, and the policy will be one of ultra conservation, the object being to restrain the labor movement from merging with the more radical socialistic element that has been making great Inroads on the membership of the unions composing the skilled crafts. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Vlcksburg, Miss., June 29. The state Association of Negro Teachers assembled in annual convention In Vlcksburg today.

Chairman at D
enver. ICC?-;..?: PR0HIBTITI0N ISSUE IN MAINE. Portland, Me., June 29. The liquor question is again to the front in Maine and will be the chief issue in the contest for the republican nomination for governor, which will be decided at tha state convention tomorrow. The republican party Is divided on the prohibition question. There has been for some years a demand for the resumption to popular vote of the Fifth Amendment to the State Constitution, by which prohibition of the manufacture or sale of liquor became a part of the organic law of Maine. Those who favor resubmission of expressing themselves upon the subject, and that in that time condition have changed and views may also have changed. Opponents of resubmission declare that it is but a device of the enemies of the law to break down the constitutional barrier that now protects It from constant assaults in the legislature, and that the present agitation Is merely the first stf-p toward license, inspired by liquor dealers and selfish, politicians. The democrats are practically a unit In demanding resubmission, while the republicans are divided, and upon this question, more than on that of tax reform or any other issue, depends the party's choice of a candidate. There are three aspirants in the field to head the republican ticket. They are William T. Haines of Watorvllle. B. M. Frrnald of West Poland, and Frederick K. Boothby of Portland. Mr. Haines and Mr. Fernald are both wealthy. Mr. Boothby is the general passenger and ticket agent of the Maine Central railroad. Early In his campaign Haines declared himself in favor of resubmission. Bernald has declared himself opposed to resubmission. Boothby, the third candidate, says It is up to the legislature to make the laws and that if elected he would merely execute all of the laws to the best of his ability. Upon one side or the other are arrayed Individuals, societies. clubs, churches, educators, newspapers, politicians, and almost every other interest and Influence indorsing Mr. Fernaid's position, while many business men throughout the state are believed to favor the candidacy of Mr. Haines.
