MR. ROOT'S SOUND PHILOSOPHY.

SECRETARY ELIHU ROOT IS NOT generally given credit for being a philosopher, but when he says that a large part of mankind still regards government as something quite- apart from the the main business of life, something which is undoubtedly necessary to enable them to attend to their business, but only incidental and accessory to it, the secretary gives every evidence of a philosophical mind, "Men," he continues, "plow and sow and harvest; they manufacture and' buy and sell; they practice the professions and the arts; they write and they preach; they work and they play, under sub-conscious impression that government is something outside all this business a function to be performed by some one else with whom they have little or no concern, as the janitor of an apartment house whom somebody or other has hired to keep out thieves and keep the furnace running." Mr. Root thinks that in reality,, government is an essential part in every

act of all this wide range of human activity. If it is bad, ruin comes to all ;

if it is good, success comes according

show Mr. Root to he a deep thinker and nave won tor mm a respect not generally given to a man who has no other bottom to stand on save that of a politician. Mr. Root is more than a politician. He is a philosopher. He believes that men must either govern or be governed; they must either take part in the control of their own lives or they must lead subject lives, helplessly dependant In the little things and great things of life upon the will and powers of others. THE STRANGER RECOGNIZES OUR GREATNESS.

WHEN THE STRANGER COMES WITHIN our gates, especially if it is the first time he has opened them, he marvels at the possibilities of thu Calumet region. He sees things in the cities of Hammond, Gary, Whiting, Indiana Harbor and East Chicago that the people of those cities never see unless their attention is called to them by outsiders. Such a visitor was William T. Walker, a deputy state statistician from Indianapolis, who was sent here by his superior, Miss Mary Stubbs, to get a statistical account of the industrial conditions of the cities in the north part of Lake county. Mr. Walker was amazed. To quote him: "I had not the faintest idea of the marvelous growth of the district. It is years since I have been here, Gary i3 simply wonderful. It would take words that I cannot find in my vocabulary to depict the possibilities of the Calumet region, and when I get back to Indianapolis, I shall make a glowing report." We shall all be glad to read it Mr. Walker, and we hope that we will do the subject justice. We welcome strangers within our midst who are sharp enough to see that Lake county is sometime, 60on, going to be the great part of the state of Indiana. Indiana will owe a part of its future greatness to Lake county. This section of the state is destined to be the greatest manufacturing region, not only in Indiana however, but in the whole world. We are glad that Mr. Walker has been here to advertise our greatness, may he come again and come often and bring others with him to recognize it.

Ernest Thompson-Seton, who has attained eminence as an author, artist and naturalist, was born August 14, 1S60, at South Shields, England. He made his home in the back woods of Canada for some years and it was during this period of his life that Mr. Seton gained that marvelous familiarity with many kinds of animal life that has mide his writings so much sought. From Canada he went to the wild prairie country of the western section of the United States, where he. remained from 1S82 to 1887. During that portion of his life that he spent in western .Canada Mr. Set on acted as the official naturalist to the government of Manitoba, and wrote a number of books treating of the birds and

alks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. A REAL MOTHER. Keep the children at home. The way to keep them at home is to make the kind of a home they ought to have. The writer knows one home of the right kind. You could scarcely drive the children away from that home with a club. It is not a fine home or expensive to keep. It is just comfortable. And it is presided over by a woman of rare sense and tact. This woman cares more for her children than she does for fine clothes, or for society, or for a woman's club. She wants her children to have a good time while they may and knows how to give it to them. For instance: Two boys belong to this family. What fun those young cubs have! They do not go grumbling to their Chores. Mother knows how to make drudgery a rare sport. Or, if the task is hard, there is the sure reward of play at the other end. There is a big yard and garden. The boys work betimes in the garden and enact high jinks In the back yard. There is a big tree, the barn, the alley. Noisy? Of course. That develops lung cells. And they are mighty hard on clothes! But If you want to find the boys of the neighborhood go to that house the infallible boy test of the sort of mother fellows have. Down In the basement are plenty of tools and soft pine boards. And thing3 are a bit topsy tnrvy down there. But you should see the "contraptions" the boys make. And if by any means they make something for "mother" why, that is best of all. In the yard are a swing and a hammock. To be sure, they break down occasionally when too many kids turnble in at once. But rope and hamhotks do not cost much. And nobody is ever scolded. There is also a girl in the family. She is something of a romp. The neighbors call her a "tomboy." She is as lithe as the family cat. And there are freckles on her nose. You might think there Is great destruction of property in this home, but there is not. And. above all, in the daily vocabulary of this bright mother there i3 NO SUCH WORD AS "DON'T." The recipe for keeping the children at home is a simple one: Rx. A little good sense, a few MJx wlth REAL MOTHER LOVE DOXT PREPARE A STICKER FOR YOURSELF BY MENTIONING 0E OR TWO THINGS YOU WANT DONE. The Goulds have just lost a $5,000 bull pup, but they won't miss it any more than will a lot of Hammond peo ple whose $5 pups have been shot full of holes. It must be very discouraging to have a man be very gallant to his wife in pnblic and then have her look as if she wasn't used to it. ine aay seems to have arrived ia Iake county when some people consider it criminal In a newspaper to preach the doctrine of cheerfulness and to boost Instead of knock. There is everything In quitting before you have tired everybody out. Pretty hot weather for Firebug Dan Ryan to be at liberty with that bottle of pure alcohol he always has with him. Although a woman's age Is undeniably her own, she often hates to own It. Dispatch says "Hitchcock and Taft in close conference." Mr. Taft is a pretty warm members for anybody to be very close to this weather. OUR IDEA OF A HICII MAS IS A CHAP WHO DRESSES AS RICHLY AS HIS WIFE DOES. It is no use for any one to slap Mr Pryan on the back and tell him he's going to sweep the country. Mr Bryan has been there before and lie knows better. You can try to figure out sometimes why some people bate you on so little provocation, but you can't. Aftar all it Is nothing astonishin? to us that a Chicago woman should have hidden $1,500 in silver in her shoes. IN POLITICS Elmer Dover, who has been placed in charge of the republican national ccmpaign headquarters in Chicago, has heen secretary of the republican national, committee since April, 1904. Ho was previously for seven years secretary to Marcus A. Hanna, and from 1SS3 to 1&97 was a newspaper man. His newspaper experience began at the age of IS years, when hs became editor

and manager of a county paper at McConnellsvllle.O.' He is a native of Ohio, and has lived in that state all his life.

The gubernatorial fight in South Carolina is beginning to attract attention. Governor Ansel, who was elected two years ago by a large majority' over several of the strongest men in the state, is opposed for the second term by State Senator Coleman L. Blease of Newberry. Governor An. sel is understood to favor a state prohibition , law, with the privilege of any county voting in a county dispensary if it wants the sale of liquor. In the matter of given names of the presidents, "James" holds the record, with five Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan and Garfield. "John" Is next. with Tyler and the two Adamses to ts credit. "William," in the personj of "Tippecanoe" Harrison and McKinley, has had two presidential bearers. and whether Taft or Bryan is elected next November will tie with "John" "Andrew" has been borne by Jacksnn and Johnson. The three "apostolic" names thus have ten or the twentyfive presidential names. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 13. The in dependence party is making arrange ments for the Indiana state convention to be held in this city Saturday, August 29. Thomas I Hisgen of Massachusetts, independence party candidate for presi dent, and John Temple Graves of Georgia, candidate for vice president, will bo here if he is able to make the trip. He underwent an operation a few days ago. The convention will be held in English's opera house. Dr. L. W. Comstock, independence chairman for Marion county, says the prospects for a large attendance at tho state convention are good. He says the work of organization throughout the state is advancing satisfactorily and that by the time the convention is held there will be an organization in every county. "We have not yet had a definite an swer from C. C. Conn of Elkhart with reference to being a candidate for gov ernor, he said. He has said he s not a candidate for the nomination, but he has not said he will not accept the place. Mr. Conn is still in California' A rap was given William Jennings Bryan's speech of acceptance by Eugene W. Chafin, prohibition candidate for the presidency, yesterday on arriv ing here from a visit to his old home at Waukesha, Wis. "I have carefully read Mr. Bryan's speech," said Mr. Chafin, "and to me the most significant thing said by him was that the democratic platform specifically outlined all the remedial legis lation that we can hope to secure for the next four years. As the platform makes no promise to do anything on the temperance question, but reaffirms its former utterances against it, Mr. Pryan pledges the liquor traffic that it will have nothing to fear during his administration." Goodland, Ind., Aug. 13. The retirement of Alvin J. Kitt from the Goodland Herald removes a successful editor from the newspaper craft of northern Indiana. Mr. Kitt has been identified with this line of work from his boyhood and he ranked as a resourceful and forceful writer. He took charge of the Herald when it was in itF embryo stage and developed it to a high state of efficiency. For mora than thirty years he supported every movement for the betterment of Goodland and he was fearless in the advocacy of things that appealed to his sense of risht. Morocco John W. Kern, democratic candidate for vice president, will be one of the speakers at Fountain Park on democratic day, August 27. Terre Haute The democrats have arranged to open the campaign in Terre Haute on Sept. 9, when Thomas R. Marshall, democratic candidate for governor, will be the speaker. Evansville The socialists of Vanderburg county opened their campaign last night with an address by Mrs. Alletha Hayhurst Hart of Richmond, who is assistant state organizer. Tho socialists have a full county ticket in the field. Franklin District Chairman George S. Pleasants, Congressman Lincoln Dixon and Frank J. Hal lof Rushville nominee for lieutenant governor, spent yesterday in this city consulting with the democratic central committee, and were well pleased with the report made to them. NEW HOTEL IS OPENED. The Victoria hotel in Gary, one of the finest in this part of the state, was opened yesterday and the first meal was served in the dining rom. The management and all of its appointments. The new hotel is expected to be an important factor in the development of the hotel In that it has small appart ments which will care . for the horde of new arrivals in Gary until they can settle down and find homes in the new steel city.

UP AND DOWN IN INDIANA

WARNING TO DOCTORS. The bulletin of the state board of health for the month of June, issued yesterday, warns physicians that "heart disease" will not be accepted on birth returns as a cause of death. The board has addressed hundreds of letters to physicians in the past explaining this fact, but returns bearing "heart disease" as a cause of death have continued to come in. "NEAR 11EER" NO GOOD. Bloomington dealers say there is scarcely any demand here for the malt products put out by the brewing companies for the "dry" territory. The reason given is that those who have been drinking beer are not satisfied with the effects they get out of drink ing the "near" beers. FORGER LEA YES TOWN. Walter Williams, u Richmond upholsterer, has disappeared and it is alleged he passed three worthless checks on local business men. They were drawn on the First National bank and signed by J. M. Miller, a fictitious name. The Jones Hardware company cashed one for 945; W. A. Hall, clothier, $21, and William Hieger, grocer, $21.40. SHORT LEG WORTH 823,000 f What probably is the heaviest damage suit for personal injuries ever brought against the Indianapolis Southern railroad was filed today by Maude Emerson, 16 years old, of Helmsburg, Brown county, who asserts she was injured Oct. 9, 1907, and demands $23,000 damages. One of the allegations is that the defendant's left leg is two inches shorter than the right one on account of the accident. LAUNCH HITS GRAVEL BARGE.

He was a candidate for the ministry and a student at Wabash college. Young Burnham's body was found late this evening a short distance from where he went down. LOCKED UP; WIFE DIES. ! Because Joseph Fieyz of South Bend was thirty minutes late in reaching court this morning, where he was to testify against five of his fellow countrymen from Syria, Judge Feldman ordered him locked up.

Chicago, beaten almost before the game started, struggled hard through nine innings of showers and sunshine today and did not know they were beaten until the last man went out in he ninth with the score 1 to 0. The second battle, a postponement from May 6, was fierce and clever, and once Evers and Clarke nearly came to blows over a bit of aggressive work by Clarke on the bases. There was little of the sensationalism of yesterday's combat, and little but clean hard fielding. Leifeld, having wonderful con trol, beat Reulbach because Reulbach passed the first batter who faced him and because the pirates were lucky enough to get a hit behind that pass that yielded a run.

The bell saved Carroll from a knockout, and the second round opened with the finish in sight, for it was only one-half over when the referee stopped the bout and gave the award to Papke.
