WHY OF COURSE THE CAMPAIGN IS OPENED! "WHEN IS THE CAMPAIGN GOING to open?" is the funny question that unthinking men put to one another now and then these August days. "When is it going to open?" Why bless your heart it has opened. It is opened. It was opened long ago, and wide opened. Haven't Sheriff Fred Carter and -Candidate Tom Grant been going up and down these many moons shaking what Tom Wood called the "honest hand of the homey farmer," and
kissing the farmers' fat babies? Hasn't John Wilson been passing around those wonderful cards from the sand dunes of Lake Station to the swamps
of the Kankakee these many days? Sam Ableman been talking Polish, Hungarian Austrian and Turkish for

at George Manlove over in Gary and tured Gary's vote, and it is now safely
tainly the campaign is opened! Hon. Ed Simon knows just what bills he is going to introduce in the legislature next winter. Albert Maack has his majority added up slick and clean and the only question In his mind is whether Hanover, Center and Kreitzburg will do quite as well this year as
they did two years ago. Why, it is a cut and dried cinch

Uncle Dick Schaaf, in Robertsdale, can't quite tell yet whether he is going to get four or six more vote3 in the Fourth over what Mayor Knotts got when he put it over ex-Mayor Knotts in the dear dead past, but there's
no question about the campaign being
just how many votes each lithograph he has put out will net him. Meyer Rubin and William Eisner have counted the votes in their precinct down so
pat that they know to the minute what

The announcements about the campaign going to be opened are posi

There's only one man in Lake county that doesn't think that the cam

Noise, at first cultivated In this' land by the Indians, has reached its climax in the college yell. It Is used at political conventions, at christenings and at women's clubs. No monument was necessary for the man who first in vented noise. His work lives after him. Noise is used by cities, which have the first call for it They split it up into as many sounds as possible and divide it among all. Noise varies in Its volume and in tensity, from embryonic and immature sawmill to a baby erying In the night Life. The loar yon advertise a good artide la the Times, the easier It ta ta nasi It.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYECopyright. 1908. ty KfiWta A. Nye. THIRTY TEARS IN HADES. There Is a bell. No doubt about that Charles Herzojr of South Dakota demonstrated its existence. He suf fered its pangs for thirty years. lie so testified in writing and sealed the testimony by his death. Tortured beyond enduranco by remorse because he had murdered a beautiful girl and allowed an innocent man to be hanged for the crime, Hersog, after thirty years, wrote this: When my lifeless body is found notify my mother, Mrs. Caroline Herzog of Girard, O. It will reveal my Identity and the awful secret ot my wretched life. I can endure It no longer. "THE . AWFUL SECRET OF MY WRETCHED LIFE." Can you understand the significance of such a confession? Certainly not But it may give you some insight into the awful agony of a human soul suffering the torments of the damned. "I CAN ENDURE IT NO LONGER." What exquisite mental torture, what a world of heart suffering, Is bound up in that feeling we know as remorse! This man literally lived and suffered for thirty years IN HELL. It is not necessary that we should be told that he was morose and gloomy, going about as if some grief burdened his soul this man who carTied about always on his conscience the murder of a girl and the death of an Innocent tramp upon whom be Charged the murder. Doubtless his frame of mind Is de scribed by the words that Hilton puts into the mouth of his Satan; "Which way I turn is hell. MYSELF. AM HELL." A man can get away from the so ciety of other men, but he cannot get away from the society of himself el ther In time or eternity. Jonathan Edwards in his widest reach of imagining and with his exJjaustless vocabulary could scarcely pic ture a hell of literal fire and brimstone that would transcend the story of the suffering of .Charles Herzog, RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Our dog editor ay there will be a good crop of dK fennel. Perhaps he means dog kennels. Time for another drowning. People continue to take their lives in their own hands even when they know there is the greatest danger. Cut it out, don't tell the girl she's clever, tell her she's pretty. Some Awful Mistakes. The West Newton Banner of Hope printed Preacher Bunker's sermon of last Sunday in full, but a bum printer made several awful mistakes. When Brother Bunker spoke of Moses as an austere man who made atonement for the sins of his people, the fool printer set it up, "Moses was an oyster man and made ointment for the shins of his people," and when he read that "the Lord smote Job with sore boils," the printer got it "the Lord shot Job with four balls." FACT! If we dare tell you his name we conld mention a Hammond man who Is no cold-blooded that mosquitoes put on overshoes every time they want to bite bim. How would you like to be a king and kiss another kwg on each cheek when you said "how'dy'' to him? Money may be the root of all Evil, but lots of men Aren't satisfied with The root) they want The whole Tree. A Hint to the Wise. During the absence of their wives, George Rowe and John O'Nell are keeD-Ing-bachelors' hall at the home of Mr. Rowe. They agreed that whoever dropped a dish and broke it should mark it on the wall. Last night Mr Rowe kicked; he said there were ho many marks that the wall paper was bring spoilt. When Mr. O'Nell washos dishes now he sits on the floor; thus, when he drops a dish, it doesn't break. Atchison Globe. Very few people reach 40 without wisblnK that they bad taken better rare of their health. Can You Beat It The Grand Forks Herald is guilty of perpetrating this: A McHenry boy swallowed a silver quarter the other day. Late reports of his condition indicate that there has been no change BiFmarck (N. D.) Tribune. WHY IS THERE ALWAYS A FEEL-
!D DOWN SEES WOMAN; SOW IN JAIL. Because, as his bondsman declares, he was again associating with an old "flame," George Wolf of Terre Haute, who is under indictment for grand larceny, is again in jail. Henry Clevenger, who was on Wolf's bond, appealed for release last night when he was Informed that Wolf had been seen with the woman. Wolf tried to commit suicide by taking morphine Sunday, but was unsuccessful. GIRL KILLED IX BARS. During a violent storm in Lawrenceburg, early today, the barn of Adam Sahm, living near Weisburg, was struck by lightning. Four of his daughters were in the barn at the time? and one of them, Miss Ida Sahm, 16 years old, was struck and instantly killed, while the others were rendered unconscious. RECALLS GREAT MASSACRE. Posters are out announcing the Pigeon Roost massacre memorial services by the Pigeon Roost association Thursday, Sept. 3, to observe the ninety-eighth anniversary of the Pigeon Roost massacre. The meeting will be In Harbold grove, just west of the monument on the traction line. TO SPEXD HIS MOXEY. Thomas Wrigley, a manufacturer of Chicago, aged 74 years, and Mrs. Emma Tarpley Motley, 33, also of Chicago, were married in Michigan City this afternoon- by the Rev. Grant Teeters. The groom las outlived two wives and the bride was divorced from her former husband a year ago. She admitted having taken advantage of leap year and he confessed that he wanted a life mate to help spend his money. OCTOGEXARIAXS GATHER. There was a unique gathering at Matter park, Marion, today when the Grant Conuty Octogenarian club, composed of all residents who are past SO years of age, held its sixth annual meeting. There are more than 20o octogenarians in the county. PROSPERITY GETS BOOST. Prosperity got another boost at Elkhart today when Superintendent Hanson of the Lake Shore car shops received orders to put on as many men as the shops will accommodate. There is a big demand for cars and the big storage supply of a few weeks ago has diminished. There is already talk of a car famine. IXG WITH L'S THAT THOSE WHO differ from t s are lacking in GOOD SENSE. One cute little thing about the campaign that the democratic press is mum about is this: The democrats have been calling the Indianapolis News "the brazen tool of corporation ' for years. But not this year, oh, no, are they aesailing the paper. Some men's ability to prate about the purity of their own life Is due to the fact that they are uot found out. Hoot, Mon! The papers are reviving the story about a travelling man who went into a Kansas hotel for dinner. The waitress came to him and said, "Bean soup?". "No, thank you," said the travelling man, "I don't care for any bean soup." "Dinner Is over then," responded the waitress. It keeps some people broke to dress well enough to make other people think they are not well dressed. IN POLITICS Noblesvllle- H. O.

It will point out, added Mr. Vorys, the issues on which such democrats must sympathize with tho republican position and republican success. Minneapolis, Aug. 19. Notwithstand ing Governor John A. Johnson's re peated declaration that he would post tively not be a candidate for renomina ticn for the office of governor of Minnesota, and which has lately been coupled with the threat that if he was named against his will, the convention would have its work to dp over again, the probabilities are today that the democratic convention which asserr. bled at 11 o'clock would ignore the governor's wishes. Yesterday when th fact was brought to his attention that ho might be made the nominee de spite his protests. Governor Johnson said that f he was nominated the ticket would be without a head, for he would not lift his finger to further his candidacy. This emDhatic declara tion may have Its effect, and In that event J. G. Armson, mayor of Still water, Minn., will undoubtedly be the nominee. However, several counties have declared for Johnson and there may be a large sized vote for him on the first ballot. Fairvlew, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 19. William J. Bryan, the democratic can dldate for the presidency, today re ceived from the Minnesota State Agri cultural society the long expected trick mule, which is to be the "mascot" of the party this fall.

In the fall of 1792 the pioneer union of the shoe workers was organized in Philadelphia. It grew to be a power, and in 1796 a strike in all the shops of the city was ordered to enforce a demand for an increase in wages. It lasted but a few days, the employers recognizing the demand. Charles W. Merker, organiser for the American Federation of Labor, recently visited an overall factory at the progressive little city of Somervllle, Tenn., and reports it as the finest example of the benefits of organization he has seen.
