DOGS MUST NOT ROAM

The unfortunate occurrence -which happened in the Hammond police station the other night, when the contretemps between a policeman and a business man occurred, will be much regretted by friends of both men, for, of course, the public always takes sides in questions of this kind. Mr. Miller's

.. H dog, a valuable animal which he had brought here from Lurope, had been shot

and killed while on the street unmuzzled, by Officer Homrich. The policeman thereby incurred the enmity of Mr. Miller, after he had merely done his duty and obeyed his orders. The orders came from Mayor Becker through

Chief of Police Iiimbach to the officer. There was nothing else for Homrich to do except to kill the dog or run the risk of being dismissed from the force for disobeying orders. There are those who say that Homrich should have warned the owner before killing the dog. Suppose a policeman were to run all over Hammond looking after the owners of all stray dogs! Due

warning had been given through the Mr. Miller, when his pet was killed,

station and abused the police. He insulted Officer Homrich and admits that he did. Officer Homrich lost his temper. Could anything else be expected

of any man who had red blood In his veins? He struck Mr. Miller and himself erred. Two lawsuits resulted and the end is not yet for Miller vows

vengeance and where the unfortunate

the meantime the people of Hammond know that unmuzzled dogs will not be tolerated on the street. The police are to be commended for enforcing the proclamation of the city's chief executive. They have done it well. The lives of children must not be jeopardized by unmuzzled hounds. It seems a shame to kill a splendid animal because he is not muzzled, but there is ab

solutely no recourse. WOULDN'T IT BE FINE Director Herman of the post and nounces that, on or before September

Copyright. IMS. by Ed-win A. Nye. THE COUNTRY GIRL IN TOWN. She is coming to the city aloae. In the country nothing occurs. Life Is about the same every day. And the girl has not yet learned that the greatest boon in life is to be content and that the quiet places are the best. It Is the monotony that tires her, she thinks. The same faces are to be seen at the church every Sunday and at the picnics. She knows this one as "P.ill" and that one as "Sarah." Familiarity has bred contempt. And over all the countryside is the never varying look of things. The familiar has grown trite and finally distasteful. But yonder in the city! Ah, everything happens in the city! There are plenty of new faces there. The scenes change like thoe of a kaleidoscope. Lots of new sensations In the city! Its air is tonic. Surely life must be fuller there. The girl is young and innocent. In her inexperience she dreams fanciful dreams. Perhaps she is ambitious to get on in the world, or impatient of restraint, or she is lured by the glamour of the town. She does not realize how safe is the sheltered life she has always lived in the quiet neighborhood. Poor girl! She does not realize the fact that her very virtues under strong tempta tion may lead to her betrayal of her self. She does not appreciate the fact that her very gentleness of nature pre vents her bringing to bear upon the deceitful tempter the force of scorn which the sophisticated can summon to their aid. She does not know her own weaknesses. Poor lassie! Her loving disposition does not hard ly know how to deny. Her sweet unselfishness scarcely is able to refuse. Every best quality of her being may lead fo her undoing. Because Where the defenseless chicken strays. over that place circles the cruel hawk and swoops upon its prey. Poor girl! If she falls into the wrong set of as sociates and there is no one by her eida to warn and guide, God help the child! If, on the other hand, she is strong of character, wary, capable of restraint and self reliant, she will take care of herself and rise above the undercurrents of temptation. Bat if not for his being elected a bishop of the church at the Baltimore conference. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS We know a Klrl who man-led a young man principally be cause he ate soup nicely. So, we find It Is the little things that win a maiden. We don't understand why it Is that James Klrby Rick is not making more of a splash than he is. But perhaps it is because of our stupidity. Yet we remember J. Kirby used to be the whole democratic party in Indiana. WHAT WE CAX'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY A NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT CAN'T TEI.I, OF A "MAX FLOPPING TO IIRYAN OR TAFT WITHOUT SAYING THAT HE IS A "I.IFF-LONG" DEMOCR T OR REPI III. ICAN, AS THE CASE MAY" UE. And Mr. Bryan doesn't care to deny that there is a good deal of Rooseveltian stuff in the Bryan platform, but he says Mr. Roosevelt stole it first. Y'es, He Was From the Country A man from the conntry came Into a Hammond barber shop the other day and got n shnve. After the barber had shaved the farmer's face, the barber asked him If he wanted his neck shaved. "I guess I'll take a neck shave," said the rustic, and before he could be stopped he rolled over on his stomach in the chair. "Never mind that," Nald the barber. "Fin going to shnve your neck. I ain't going to scratch your back." Have a Quiet Time. Things have been very quiet her this week and we haven't had anything to do except to gather up news, spin locals, set type, read proof sheets, and run the press. Dahlonega (Ga.)

HEARST RAPS BRYAN Tells Gompers That He Does Not Like Chameleon Candidates. New York, July 16, A cablegram has been received from William Randolph Hearst in Paris in reply to a message sent Mr. Hearst from Samuel Gompers, stating that in view of the democrats' stand for labor it would be "an act of greatest patriotism for the independence party to Indorse the democratic platform," and urging him not to run a third ticket, as it would elect Mr. Taft. Mr. Hearst's cablegram follows: "Tell Mr. Gompers I am not authorized to speak for the membership of the independence league, but according to my personal standards a purer patriotism consists in laboring to establish a new party which will be consistently to the interest of the citizenship, and particularly to the advancement of the producing classes. Rap at "Chameleon' Candidates. "I do not think the path of patriotism lies in supporting a discredited and decadent party which has neither conscientious conviction nor honest intention, or in indorsing chameleon condidates who change the color of their political opinion with every varying hue of opportunism. "I do not think the best benefit of laboring men lies in supporting that old party because of a sop of false promises, when the performance of that part- while in power did more to injure labor than all the injunctions over issued before or since. "I have lost faith in the empty professions of an unregenerate democracy. I have Inst confidence in tho ability, in the sincerity, and even in the integrity of its leaders. Wants Independence Party Ticket. "I do not consider it patriotism to pretend to support that which, as a citizen, I distrust and detest, and I earnestly hope the Independence party will give me an opportunity to vote for candidates both able and honest, and for a declaration of principles sound and sincere. "WILLIAM R. HEARST." Holland Has Cheese Carriers' Guild. The cheese carriers of Holland form a very ancient and exclusive guild, and no one who is not extremely clean in his habits and spotlessly white in dress would have the slightest chance of getting employment In the guild.
