HOW LONG IS THE FARMER TO SUFFER? THERE IS SOMETHING SHAMEFUL AND CRIMINAL in the fiendish

recklessness displayed by touring car drivers as they scorch along Lake county highways and byways, regardless of their own lives and the lives of others who happen to be in the way of their rubber-tired juggernauts. In almost every case where injury has been inflicted the fault lies with nonresident speedomaniacs. In two years only one accident has been chronicled where a Lake county automobile owner has caused injury to others and in his case, the accident was due to a frightened horse and was absolutely unavoidable. Last year there were seventeen accidents and casualties inflicted on Lake county people by transient auto tourists. This year so far there have been twelve and all of them were caused by out-of-county automobilesIt is a sad commentary on the actions of those auto owners who use the beautiful roads paid for by Lake county taxpayers that they are absolutely indifferent to the life and limb of Lake county people. Farmers ere the greatest sufferers and that there is no limit to their anger and indignation is not to be wondered at. The use of force and physical revenge on the part of auto victims is of course deplored but if anything is excusable it certainly would be. There undoubtedly is a limit to forbearance and it will occasion no surprise whatever to learn that some outraged farmer has taken the law in his own hands and revenged himself when injury is done some member of his family through the demoniac speed greed of some Chicago auto tourist. The remedy is a hard one to find, but it is a grave question and must have an answer. o HARD BLOW FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

IN SPEAKING OF THE HEARST ULTIMATUM published in THE TIMES recently the Philadelphia North American says: The repudiation of Bryan by Hearst is a political development so Important that it must be reckoned with. Whatever may be thought of Hearst's personality and his editorial methods, there is no denying that his chain of newspapers constitute a force in this country. His Independence league may be denounced as a private, incorporated, personally conducted affair, basod. on his money bags, and inspired with no purpose save to forward Hearst's individual ambitions. It is none the less true that many thousands in many states vote under its emblem.

Therefore, however much of pique

may be in Hearst's present action, it is an unquestionable blow to the chances of democratic success next November. The Hearst newspapers undoubtedly did as much as any other agency

to contribute to Bryan's vote in the cities in 1S9G and 1900. There value has been recognized, as has been shown by Mr. Bryan's unconcealed eagerness

to conciliate Hearst, the latest example

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Ccpyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. THE DANGEROUS DRUG HABIT. Are we becoming modern lotus eaters? Literature is full of reference to those fabled beings who lived on the fruit of the lotus those who forgot cares and the lapse of time and gave themselves to pleasures. They have their counterpart In the modern drug eaters. The lotus flower of our day is opium and its products, or cocaine, or absinth, or any number of preparations. It is said Intemperance Is the greatest evil of our day. The drug habit la a large part of that vice. If you will talk with a retail drug- j gist who will tell you the facts or consult the best medical authorities, you will be shocked and startled. One might expect, for Instance, that large quantities of morphine or cocaine would be sold in the drug stores of tha Tenderloin districts. It is also true that the pharmacies in the fashionably districts have a large trade in these and other drug stuffs. Besides, THE DRUG HABIT IS PREVALENT AND GROWING AMONG ALL CLASSES OF OUR PEOPLE. The society woman is tempted to tho use of stimulants because dissipation drains her vitality. She must keep the pace and be vivacious. The flesh Is weak; tho temptation Is great. On the other hand, thfe low and the unfortunate, Impoverished both In body and In mind, take the drug to forget their misery. But there are others. Besides the high and the low, the mass of the common people are coming to be large drug users. The temptation is an insidious one. Ferhaps the stimulant was first prescribed by a physician. It soothes racked nerves. When the pain cornea, use It. The pain comes often. Perhaps one cannot sleep. There Is the drug. Perhaps one has a great weaknessthe drug again. Anxiety, worry, depression the drug. And, finally, almost every phase of the victim's life makes a special draft on the danger ous drug. And so the modern lotus flower makes dreadful inroads on our society The habit will ruin any people. It Baps vital forces. It ruins generations yet to be. The press and the pulpit must fight this growing vice. Because the evil is Intrenched In seeretiveness. Unlike drunkenness. It does not manifest itse!f. It shrinks from publicity. It must be firagged Into the limelight. Sound the alarm! RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS PROSPICE. "Some day when I have lota of time and nothing else to do, I think that I will fall in love and fall In love with you. Just bow I don't believe I could, my work distract me an, And then one can't afford It when one'a bank account la low. Hut when my work Is mostly done, and pay day cornea around, The words "I am engaged" will have n most enticing sound. And then well, one thins anyway is certain to be true. And that Is, if I fall in love, I'll fall In love with you." The prohibition convention may have been exciting all right enough, but we didn't see anything in the dispatches about a steam roller. It was a water wagon Instead. Mont of the satisfaction which no me people derive from automoblllng la in watching the rapidity with which most people get out of their way. The Fort Wayne News says that the Indianapolis News has a large case of stomach ache, but forgets to prescribe Shall we? WHAT HE NEEDED.

Freece, who attack ed Mormonlsm from the First Pres byterian pulpit. The Mormon elders attended the church service, and when r recce had concluded they arose and challenged his statements, and demanded they be heard in reply. LEFT WAITING AT THE flltRCII. Carl A. Cunningham of Terre Haute failed to appear for his marriage to Miss Tula Cheney of Covington, which was to have taken place Inst evening at S o'clock.

WThy is It that if a newspaper has something good to say of a man nobody thinks it of enough consequence, to call his attention to it, but if something that is disagreeable of him is said, nearly every other person almost breaks his neck to be the first one to ask the man if he had seen what the paper had said about him? Again, why is it that a person who is favored through the columns of the paper will go right along taking these things as a matter of course and never expressing by word or deed his appreciation of It, but the very first time there is anything in the paper that ruffles Ms feelings he gets cross and vindictive about it and wants to make troub'e for the paper? Hamilton (Texas) Rustler. ABOUT THE ONLY NEWSPAPER MAN THAT SOME PEOPLE CARE TO KNOW IS THE ONE WHO BRINGS THEM THEIR NEWSPAPER IN THE MORNING. ' Of Course You Remember. Remember the time that you went walking with Tier down tho river road that Sunday afternoon and It began to rain when you were two miles from home, and how the fellow you had been trylgn to cut out came along in his stylish turnout as you two were streaking It for home, and offered Her a ride and she accepted?

IN POLITICS A dispatch from Fort Wayne says that the Journal-Gazette, the leading democratic paper of the northeastern Indiana, has started a boom to make Samuel T. Murdock of Lafayette, chairman of the democratic national committee. Murdock Is a son of James Murdock, the Lafayette banker, formerly warden of the Michigan City penitentiary. The New York Herald says: "It has been disclosed that the 'Roosevelt country' of 1904 has experienced enough change of heart to make half a dozen that the democrats did not carry in 1904 doubtful and fighting ground." In a table of probabilities which gives the democrats only the twentyfive votes of Texas and Oklahoma as sure, and the republicans the thirtythree of Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota. Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, the other states of the west. California, Montana, Colorado, Nebraska and Utah, are classed as doubtful ground. It Is broadly hinted that there is danger that Bryan may sweep them all. To Victor Rosewater, national committeeman from the state, is laid the report to Hitchcock that the republican .i.Jook in Nebraska Is blue. Hot Springs, Va., July 21. Wal! street is bigger and more powerful than any prospective president of the United States, according to M. E. Ingalls. formerly president of the Big Four and Chesapeake & Ohio railroads. A strong admirer and supporter of William J. Bryan, Mr. Ingalls. in nn interview, published today, declares that, radical though the Commoner, the flurry following his election will be short. "If Bryan Is elected," said Mr. Ingalls, "there will be a of a time in the street for about a month. Then things will quiet down. The election of Taft will probably not cause anysuch flurry, but in either event conditions will be about the same within a month after the election. "I have no doubt that Mr. Taft will pursue Roosevelt's policies, but if he is elected he can follow this course without causing the disaster thit Roosevelt caused by following his own policies. The reason is simple. Taft, being of a Judicial temperament, will act, and not talk. It was Roosevelt's talk and not his policies that causod the trouble. "Bryan has been hailed as a radical man, but his temperament is such that or.ro he is president he will become a ler and conservative statesman." Colorado Springs, Colo., July 21. Chairman Hitchcock of the republican national committee will send the national committeemen and the state chairmen from west of the Missouri river home this evening under Instructions to get busy with the work of organizing republicans at once.

Bessie De Vole, who has played in "Bluebeard" and with Rogers brothers, is the actress named In the alleged conspiracy to manufacture evideneo against Howard Gould for use in Mrs. Gould's counter suit for divorce. The affidavit of Mabel D.

in the western section of the country together has proved a success. How ' i much, effect the work done here the, last few days will have on the eleci tion remains to be seen, but it has certainly infused a lot of enthusiasm in the party workers and has put new ideas of political management into their heads. Mr. Hitchcock will continue what some persons have called his three- ! ringed performance In Chicago shortly, when the committeemen from the central section of the country will meet him, and then he will corral the national committeemen and state chairmen from the eastern states and tell them what they are expected to do. Mr. Hitchcock said today that he could not fix a definite date for the Chicago conference, because many of the committeemen in that section are away on their vacations. The conference here was topped off with a trip up Pikes Peak this forenoon, but the national chairman had a final word with some of the committeemen this afternoon. Governor A. E. Mead of Washington, who Is a candidate for renomination. declares that if elected this fall he will urge upon the legislature the passage of a law to prohibit gambling on raca trncks in any form. Dr. C. A. L. Reed of Cincinnati has announced his candidacy for the seat of Joseph B. Foraker in the United States senate. Dr. Reed has been prominent In the movement for pure food laws and legislation to benefit the science of medicine and surgery. The liquor and anti-saloon forces of Illnois are preparing for a fierce fight for control of the general assembly. In the coming primary there will be 1,000 candidates for the legislature-, the largest number in the political history of the state. Th independence party loaders say they will put a full ticket in the f.c'd, and also will try to have a state ticket in every state in the Union. In thirty-eight states national committeemen of the independence party have been appointed, the last state thus represented being North Dakota. The recent announcement of Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio that he will be a candidate for the senate to succeed Senator Joseph B. Foraker, indicates that, from now until the Ohio legislature next winter elects the successor to Mr. Foraker. there will be a real, old-fashioned political battle in the Buckeye state.
