MR. HARRIMAN AND THE RAILROADS. THERE'S AN OLD SAYING, "Give a dog a bad name and kill it." Many a man, during an era of hysteria, has acquired a bad reputation prompted by malice or envy and has ever often been unable to live it down. Many a man has had the batteries of the "muck raker," the "magazine fiend," the man in search of cheap notoriety turned upon him and his usefulness de

stroyed- During the past year has Edward H. Harriman acquired much notoriety. He has been the victim of many attacks, some utterly unfounded. He has been flouted in high places, branded as the "dangerous and predatory rich," and charged with being guilty of offenses that would earn for him a felon's cell. Mr. Harriman's chief offense has been his extraordinary ability. In the economy of vast enterprises and in the method and manner of conducting great business affairs it was inevitable that great ability, great tact, great capacity would manifest itself and the will, the brain, the energy and the genius of some man would place him logically at the head. Such has been the history and the experience of Mr. Harriman. He has won his place in the railroad world not by accident but by ability. His was certainly a mark at which the envious might shoot. And so by persistent attack, threats, misrepresentations and innuendo he has become to be looked on surely as a malefactor. But time, generally tardy about righting wrong and correcting evil misrepresentations seems to have altered the usual methods and comes hurriedly to his vindication. Witness the recent situation, Gould with his railroads in distress and despair; weakened by the hostile attacks of various state legislatures; embarrassed by hard times and dull business; struggling against unusual odds, he was almost overwhelmed and the Erie, the Wabash, the Missouri Pacific lines on the verge of bankruptcy. At this particular time when the signs of returning prosperity was lingering timidly on the business horizon the failure of these roads would plunge the business world back again in the throes of financial panic Harriman already establishing his vindication, comes to the rescue of Gould; finances the tottering lines; establishes confidence in their future fates, not for gain or profit but to prevent further business reverses. He has saved millions of dollars. Continues in employment thousands of men, inspires firmer confidence and who doubts it prevented a catastrophe. Lucky Mr. Harriman, not often does vindication come so surely, bo completely. PLAYHOUSES HELP THE CITY OF HAMMOND.

THE NEWS THAT DR. T. EDWIN BELL of this city, has associated

himself with W. S. Butterfield, the manager of the Bijou Theater Enterprise company for the purpose of building and managing a theater in Hammond which is to provide high class vaudeville performances for the people of

Hammond every day is of great importance to the city. A well conducted playhouse in which daily performances of a high char

acter are provided will be a great stimulator of trade. Not only that, it will bring to this city a large number of people from all over the region who will

come here in search of pleasure and will take the opportunity to buy the things they need in the splendid retail houses which are located in this city. Theaters are a necessity in all well established cities and It is safe to say that Towle's opera house and Brooks' vaudeville theater, together with the two other amusement houses of minor importance have done more to

bring people from the surrounding traction the city has. The merchants have done a great

of their places of business on Saturdays and, as in the case of East State

street, in providing for the brilliant

All of these things add to the attractiveness of this city and tend to make it a center of activity. Hammond now holds an enviable position as

the financial, professional and business becomes the amusement center it will merchants.

The improvement In the transportation facilities of the city by which Hammond is to be closely connected with all of its sister cities in the region will bring hundreds of people to Hammond every week. Instead of the Hammond citizens being faced with the necessity of going to Chicago for their amusements they will find just as good shows here at half the expense. Hammond is becoming more independent of Chicago every day and the time

may come when the Chicagoans will THIS DATE IX HISTORY.

alkss . By EDWItf A. KYE. Copyright, ias, by Edwin A. Nye. DID HE LOVE HIS MOTHER? . To the best mother a boy ever had. These are the last words you will hear from me. Lovingly, CHARLIE. Hating writte'ir Abe above, Charles Jacobs of New York city, a young man of nineteen, put a bullet Into his brain. There was no good reason why he should have done so. No motive is assigned for the act When his mother heard the pistol shot she hastened to bis room and was crazed by the shock. Query? Would a boy who really loves his mother kill himself and break his mother's heart? Certainly not, if he was sane. The incident and the note serve t? remind us that there are altogether too many young men like Charles. Terfervid expressions of love foi mother like the above are mere oozings of sentimentality. The expression Is cruelly belied by the action. It is easy to compliment one's mother, quite another to repay the mother love by a course of conduct that will make her happy. . It is easy to sing the refrain, "If yon love your mother, meet her In the sky." The sacred theme lends itself to the haunting notes of the tune. But it is an entirely different proposition to make mother's last days her sweetest The grisly bum who Infests the police courts easily prefaces his maudlin plea for clemency by the sniffle, "I had one of the best mothers a boy ever had." The declaration is an indictment which leaves no room for special pity. More is to be expected of him who had a good mother. And if the son goes down despite the mother's goodness the more delinquent his conduct appears. "The best mother a boy ever had." If only the Charles Jaeobses could see the full significance of the words! The pity of it is they cannot under stand that such a mother calls for TflE BEST BOY A MOTHER EVER HAD! The mother of Charles Jacobs will find in her heart a great pity and a great love for her boy. Mothers are mad that way. But If Charles Jacobs had been consist ent he would have written these words in farewell to his mother: To the best mother a boy ever had. I go contrary to every instinct you have given me. I choose to plunge a dagger In your heart CHARLIE. named Institution he taught school in Bardstown. lie then began the study of law and was admitted to the bar In 1S98. The same year he Was elected a member of the Kentucky house of representatives. Ho was twice re elected and was chosen speaker of the house in 1898. In 1899 he was elected lieutenant governor, becoming the chief executive at Governor Goebel's death Feb. 3, 1900. The same year he was elected governor for the full term, end ing In December, 1907. In 1906 he was nominated in a state primary by the democratic party as candidate for United States senator from Kentucky over James B. McCreary, the incumbent. In the general assembly, however, Mr. Beckham was defeated for the nomination by former Governor Bradley, republican. RAN DOM THINGS AND FLINGS A few short, sweet days and the hay fever victim will come into his own. It is hard to spatter grey matter over an editorial page and then have somebody bawl out, "Gee, why don't they put some news on that page. There's one thing sure, old Mother Hubbard could sever have kept any summer boarders. We call this apropos: If the peek-a-boo waist had not been received with such open welcome, the directoire gown might not have a leg to stand on. A man never learns to be a good chauffeur until he can crawl under his own touring car gracefully. HOT WEATHER ARITHMETIC. Example In Subtraction. We yesterday referred to Dr. Brynlng as the oldfashioned sort of a man who wears the same weight suits winter and summer. He says we are mistaken; that he takes off his vest in summer. Atchison Globe. Example In Addition. A number of his friends say that Engineer F. Larson and a Downs girl are on the list. Atchison Globe. Example In Multiplication. Dr. Shelly says that this is a good item, because it is the first one: A boy baby was born yesterday to Dr. and Mrs. Allen, at Doniphan. Atchison Globe. Example In Division.

UP AND DOWN DELEGATES BEING SELECTED. Edward E. Neal, president of the Indiana Lincoln League, has received from the Vice presidents of the two congressional districts the names of men recommended as delegates to the national convention of republican clubs to be held in Cincinnati Sept. 22. TOMATO CANNING BEGINS. With tomatoes ripening fast upon the vines, the opening of the canning season In Newcastle is but a short time away and will probably commence within the next two weeks. In a number of towns of this county there are canneries which have contracted with farmers for Several thousand acres of tomatoes. TAFT COMING TO INDIANA. The Marion club of Indianapolis has invited "W. H. Taft, republican presidential candidate, to attend a banquet to be given by the club shortly after election. Mr. Taft indicated that he will accept the Invitation If possible. TOXICA IS NOT BOOZE. "Tonica," the beverage manufactured by the Indianapolis Brewing company, which has attracted considerable discussion as to Its Ingredients, Is not an intoxicant, according to a decision of Judge Thomas C. Whallon in police court yesterday. As the result of the decision, August Erbrich, a grocer, is found not guilty of selling liquors without a license. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE PLANNED John W. Kern, democratic nominee for vice president, will have a conference with U. S. Jackson, chairman of the democratic state committee, today regarding the date of Mr. Kern's notification of his nomination to the vice presidency. WILL TRY TO SAVE SONS. Determined to free his sons, Mllo and Walter Long, who are in prison at Culbertson Mont., charged with murder, John A. Long, a wealthy Wabash farmer, today asked Mayor Joseph W. Murphy to go to Montana and make their defense. Mayor Murphy will probably accept. MILE KICKS A CATT.

You can't blame Mr. Hearst for refusing to be a part of the tall of Mr. Bryan's kite, when by some earthquake of human events he might be a king maker. There la an awful difference between the estimation of a man's worth aa figured by what he thinks of himself and the salary he sets. The weather is so tarnal hot that the general public doesn't care about knots in either party's platform. You've got to have sand to propose, and you've got to have roeks to get marrlec. and then, afterwards, It tin at to keep things going. As far as we can figure it out, J. Klrby Risk will require some time before he can recover from the flattening out he got under somebody's steam roller. A bachelor Is a man who thinks It's no trouble to do the family washing and bring up the children. IN POLITICS The carnation Is the favorite flower of Judge Taft, as it also was of the late President McKinley. But while the latter favored the red carnation Judge Taft prefers the white variety of the popular flower. It Is estimated that 20,000 orthodox Jewish voters will not take part In the state primary In Illinois next Saturday because It Is held on their Sabbath. Whether this loss will be an inJury to the republican or democratic candidates is a matter of conjecture. Charles N. Haskell, the new treasurer of the democratic national committee, bears the distinction of being the first governor of Oklahoma. He was chairman of the Important committee on resolutions at the recent Denver convention. Early in life he was engaged in railroad construction work. Colonel Frank L. Smith, who la a candidate for the republican nomination for lieutenant governor of Illinois, has sent an appeal to every voter in the state by the name of Smith asking for his support In the general primary which is to be held next Saturday. There Is a lull In the political storm which followed the nomination of tht candidates for president and vice president at the recent national conventions, but It is expected that soon there will be a renewal of activity and It will not be long before the country will be plunged into a campaign which promises to be a memorable one.

HANGS ON A RAFTER. The body of George Anackef of Indianapolis, 45 years old, was found swinging from a rafter in the attic of his home, 1351 Nordyke avenue, yesterday morning by his wife after he had failed to appear at the breakfast table. Anacker's feet were twelve inches from the floor, and a small keg lying on Its side nearby gave evidence that the man had stood on this while adjusting the rope about his neck and then swung to his death. ANOTHER TABLE OPENS. The Canton glass factory at Marion, which manufactures table ware and glass novelties, resumed operations today after being closed only one month because of the hot season. A steady increase in orders makes it necessary to begin work at this time. The factory employed 200 men. BAR SAVES FIREMAN. An iron bar lying on the floor of his locomotive was all that saved the life of A. W. PeipfE, Big Four locomotive fireman, who, while returning from Indianapolis to Wabash fell In a faint overcome by the heat. He almost fell from the engine cab, but caught on the bar until the engineer could grasp the man and rescue him. MORE MURDER IN LA PORTE. A murder mystery developed today with the finding of the body of a welldressed man about 40 years of age buried under a pile of rails about a half mile east of Rolling Prairie, at a point near the Murdock street car line and the Lake Shore road. FIGHT FOR CUSTODY OF CHILD. The Indiana supreme court Is to settle a controversy between a grandfather and a great-grandfather for the custody of a 6-year-old child, Loren Livengood, now living with his paternal grandfather, George Livengood, at Waynetown, Montgomery county. David Shoaf, great-grandfather on the maternal side, who seeks the custody of the little boy, haa appealed from a maternal aiue, wiu seess ine cusiouy ul n.e mwe uuv, p. i.um decision of the Montgomery circuit court. has been spending a good deal of time rusticating at his summer home, near Laporte. Now that the first pressure of business Is over, following the perfecting of the organization of the rarty over the county, Mr. Schaaf feels that he can take a little rest. In a few weeks the campaign will be at lt3 height and from that time until the votes are counted in November there will be little rest for the weary. United States District Attorney HarrySkinner, who Is somewhat famous for his ability as an orator, may be honored with the republican nomination for governor of North Carolina wh on the state convention meets at Charlotte on August 26. A ljecent election in Georgetown, which is located in the heart of the distilling section of central Kentucky, was carried by the antl-prohlbltionist element by the extremely narrow majority of one vote.

THE FARMER IS KING

"If the American farmer went out Of business this year he could clean up thirty thousand million dollars." says the American Review of Reviews. 'And he would have to sell his farm on credit; for there is not though money in the whole world to pay him half his price. "Talk of the money mad trusts!
