THE NEEDS MUST BE MET.
THE QUESTION OF MANUAL. TRAINING in the Lake county high
schools, especially in the Hammond, Whiting, Gary, East Chicago and In
diana Harbor schools, is one -which the various boards of education will
sooner or later have to deal seriously with. In the Gary and East Chicago schools it has become an accented fact. Take the question of the
character of education designed to meet the needs of the state's citizen-
ship both now and in the future and it must be admitted that not only is th'f system of instruction inadequate, but it is not adjusted so as to meet the demands of manual effort upon the future worker. It has been stated upon good authority that 90 per cent of the pupils never complete
the elementary course of instruction in the public schools, but earn a liv
ing by some form of manual labor. Recognizing this it is incumbent on the public to encourage the growth of a sentiment that will eventually secure
such instruction as will result in Industrial efficiency in the training of
the worker. The Hammond board of education realizes this and Superin
tendent McDaniel is anticipating the time when he can provide a manual training school that none others will excel if they will equal. It certainly
would seem that the time has arrived whereby boys and girl3 may be
taugbt some trade that makes it possible for them to earn a living with
out depending upon odd jobs. THE HUNTING ACCIDENT ON DECK.
eart to fileart
Talks. By EDWIN A, NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.
UP AND DOWN IN INDIAN.
Author Of "Little Drops Of Water" Dead
THE FATAL HUNTING ACCIDENT is getting quite frequent again. The enthusiastic hunters who persist in killing or maiming human beings and themselves instead of killing game, are again much in evidence. It is a remarkable fact that these accidents happen with becoming regularity every year. Every time when there is game to be had some unfortunate hunter gets his body full of lead or is Injured for life. It seems quite useless for newspapers to call attention to the fact that care and 'caution in the handling of firearms when on hunting expeditions is desirable and exceedingly beneficial. When hunters are hitting the trail, they bob up with distressing frequency. There is only one good thing about hunting acci- . denats. They generally happen along in time to put a stop to the fool-who-rocks-the-boat accident. '" A COMIC DAILY IS THE JOURNAL. ONE OF THE REALLY FUNNY things of the campaign has been the virtuous political polemics of the Chicago Journal, which has seen fit to
arrange for the election of the democrtaic ticket in advance, making it
entirely unnecessary to hold an election. In its issue last night the Journal says it is too bad that some newspapers cannot be fair in their criticisms
of public men. This is the one. living jokes of the campaign. If there is & newspaper which has been unjust In its criticisms of Judge Taft in the
United States, it is the self-same Journal. It has deliberately and with evi
dent premeditation, falsified time and again and has won at least in this
corner or the state the name of the bell weather editorial distorter. It requires considerable gall for the Journal to forget the old saw about the pot
calling the kettle black. Unfair criticism indeed. WONDER IF HE WAS FROM VALPARAISO?
THEY TELL IT ON ONE Ea9t Chicago girl who recently accompanied a young man friend to the train that when she said good-bye she held up her lips to be kissed. The basswood specimen she had been good to, balked and couldn't screw up enough nerve to kiss her. The Lake Shore brakeman says he had a notion to kiss the girl himself and then kick the chump aboard the cars. We feel grieved to have this story told of an East Chicago girl, who had to depend upon the foreign product when there are so many gallant and ready young men in East Chicago. THE BOIL WEEVIL having chewed, up most of the Louisiana cotton crop, a raise in the price of the staple is not unlikely; but on the other hand as the Illinois Central will not need so many new cars. Mr. Harriman will not be absolutely compelled to raise freigh trates. Few persons realize how much the boil weevil figures in high finance. CHICAGO WOMAN declares that she will not wash her baby again until the I. C. R. R. stops using soft coal and electrifies. If this keeps up
the health department will be electrified, provided it has a Frank Tucker
in its midst. MANY AN ANXIOUS head will refuse to "hit the hay" tonight until
the last forlorn hope is dead after it has quit springing eternal in the
human breast.
JOHN EARLY. AMERICAN LEPER. "Unclean! Unclean P . How that age-long cry of the leper has vexed tbe heavens and assailed
tbe ear in tbe far east!
There the ancient law of Moses holds. The clothes must be rent, the head bare. "He shall put covering
over bis upper lip and cry: 'Unclean!
Unclean !' And be shall dwell alone. Without the camp shall his habitation be." And It is so today In tbe orient BntIn America, across tbe Potomac river, beyond the green marsh lands and tinder tbe great sycamore trees. In his "dog tent," dwells alone John Early, American citizen, leper. And across bis forehead spreads tbe signet of tbe world's oldest most horrible disease. And his case is only one of 278
KNOWN CASES OF LEPROSY in
this country.
John Early was for nine years a sol
dier of the United States army. When
leprosy attacked him he wore the uni
form of tbe Salvation Army a soldi"
of the common good. Now be is a legal outcast.
Day following day he "dwells without the camp." He does not cry "Unclean!" because none will approach his solitary place. His eyes turn across the sedgy marshes and the slow moving river, where dwell, in the Capital City, bis wife and child, whom he may see at a distance, but whom he may never touch. John Early Is brave. He is strong in his faitb that prayer and a new drug will cure the plague. He says he wants to show that faith and bis medicine will cure the lep
rosy and give other lepers hope. But What are his fellow men distinguished as humane, what is society, doing for this man? Here is a good American citizen,
stricken in awful malady, thrust brutally out in tbe wilderness to die. Any humane society would do more for a wounded dog! And John Early's case Is similar to that of the other 277 American lepers. Proof of this indictment? Congress has tried to set aside a leper colony. Every time a location is named the people of the community object, and the bill is defeated. And this is the year of our Lord 190S!
FIRE BURNS CUPOLA. A fire of mysterious origin destroyed

Chicago, Nov. 2. Prohibitionists are prophesying great gains for their national ticket.
Encouraged by the prohibitionist gains in the south and the local option victories in the north the most extensive campaign In the history of the prohibition party has been carried on. There is, of course, no expectation, that Mr. Chafin will be elected, but it is hoped that the issue may be "elected" that Is, that so many votes will be cast for It that the old parties will be forced to take it up. This would mean the extinction of the prohibition party, but the leaders don't seem to be worrying over that.
