DEMOCRATS SOUND THE HEWGAG. The democrats at Indianapolis are going off half-cocked over the question of the recent naturalizations in Lake county, and it would seem as if it were a good plan for them to find out what they are shooting at before they sound the hewgag so loudly. If there was any illegal naturalization done in Lake county it wasn't done by the republicans. The democrats brought numbers of ,-a Ki notnniiTui hnt nf onnrse nothinz was said about that. If
tUl CigUCl O KJ W llttl.uii.ivv " " " the democrats had carried Lake county, nothing would have been said about it but th: are such poor losers that the Indianapolis democratic politicians are kicking up a lot of dust which blinds nobody. The democrats In the capital have been going to do great things about contesting ever since the election and have done nothing but talk and talk. We predict that is all it will end in talk and democratic talk. A NEW WRINKLE IN EAST CHICAGO. An East Chicago lady who became weary of getting ten dollars a month doled out to her by her sterner half who earned good wages as a puddler, and who revolted because she had to loot her husband's trouser pockets of yen and tael for pin money, inaugurated something new in the streets of "Honest Abe" Ottenheimer's town last Saturday night. She met her husband aforesaid on the thoroughfare and decorated his classic features with
a number of Doric and Corinthian capitals, all to the intense joy of the populace. When the E. C. lady had completed her task, hubby's blue eyes were Transformed into black ones. He was dubbed a villain and his weekly stipend was demanded peremptorily. It is to be hoped that the precedent bet by the estimable and outraged East Chicago lady will not become general, 35 it would be most embarrassing to be met by an angry spouse on a crowded street on a Saturday evening and held up for the pay envelope or suffer a pair of daintily blackened optics. HE WON'T INTERFERE AGAIN. A Hammond man was taught a lesson in Chicago the other day of which it might be -well tor a great many people to consider the moral. A respectable appearing old gentleman was approaching a certain depot with considerable difficulty. He was plainly much the worse from indulging in the cup that cheers and likewise queers. The Hammond man, noting the old gentleman's condition, took him gently by the arm and lead him into the
station. Another man in the crowd mistook the Hammond man for a confidence sharp and told him so. The Hammond man resented the interference and a mix-up of a nasty nature was threatened. In the meantime the bibulous old gentleian found his way to his train without any trouble and then the Hammond man left his accuser, vowing he would never help an intoxicated stranger again as long as he lived. It certainly doesn't pay in this world to try to handle anyone's business but your own. You often get
Into trouble if you do and you seldom get any thanks anyway. TIME TO HEED THE LESSON.

A DUAL LIFE. As Ions as me read books the Etory of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, will live because it is true to life. Dr. Rustin of Omaha, Neb., tried to lead the dual life. He was a brilliant surgeon, of good family, highly educated, urbane, skillful, popular. E. H. Harriman said he would one day be the chief surgeon of the Union Pacific railway. But, though the Dr. Jekyll of him was in the majority, the Mr. Hyde of him was busy and Insistent. The minority part suggested liquor and drugs as "stimulants." Under their influence Kustin's quick brain 8lowed up and his deft hand lost Its cusning. Practice dropped off. Financial troubles came. Slowly, surely, the fiend Hyde absorbed the Dr. Jekyll. Becoming master, he whispered In Itustin's ears that morphine was too weak. Cocaine! Bustin obeyed the suggestion. Then Hyde became a tyrant. He told Rus
tin to steal from his fellow physicians
and the hospitals. He ordered him to
find his agreeable company with low
women and other drug fiends.
By and by the insidious monster told Rustin he must kill himself. The doctor readily assented. But his once fine
mind remembered his duty to his wife and children. Yes, he would die, but it must not appear to be suicide, else he would forfeit his life Insurance. "That's easy," whispered Hyde. Dr. Rustin inoculated himself with typhoid fever germs so that he might seem to die like honest men die. But he overdid the matter by afterward mixing a potion of tetanus germs. One
neutralized the other. Still the monster was not appeased. So one night they found Rustin dying on his porch. Just how it was done Is not quite lear. There is the etory that a fallen
woman made a pact with him by which they were to kill each other, but her nerve failed her; that he later found a fellow drug degenerate who performed the last grim service. Anyhow the Hyde syndicate of evil got a majority of the Rustin stock. The Hyde partner got the mortgage on Rustin's soul and foreclosed it. And so ends every attempt of a man to live the double life. Dr. Jekyll may smile with his Hps before the world and dissemble the Mr. Hyde that is in him, but no man can serve two masters. One of the other names of Mr. Hyde Is Duplicity, one of the devil's favorite fiends.

The Fort Wayne News says truthfully and editorially:
"It is to be trusted that the next time the republicans have to nominate
a candidate for governor that the several aspirants for the honor will not rush
at each other's throats like a lot of hydrophobic wolves. It is a certainty
that the stories used against Watson during the recent campaign were disseminated by republicans prior to his election. Indiana is not so solidly republican that this sort of business can be indulged in, and, perhaps, it is just as well. A party that is too big to discipline soon becomes a nuisance." By all means let us not become a nuisance. A CERTAIN HAMMOND paper which does a great deal of prating about what it is pleased to call sensationalism in other papers and is always busily occupied in trying to convince people that it gives nothing but the news when it is news, printed a yarn about a romantic automobile elopement at Crown Point, last night. The facts are as stated in the Times story of the simple wedding last Saturday. ; It was not an "elopement." The friends of the couple were not all "surprised," as the Times has had the pictures of the couple two weeks and the wedding was planned long ago. There were no "wrathful relatives," there was no "chartered auto," as it wag Dr. Good's limousine and it was not the "culmination of a love affair of many years standing." So much for freak journalism. UPON VACATING THE White House March fourth, Colonel Roosevelt will on March fifth put his feet upon his editorial desk and assign himself to a four month's vacation. It is told us in good authority that he has al
ready fixed his salary at 35,000 bones a year. Now if he has made himself solid with the cashier, he probably can get lunch money in advance on a pinch. Gee, but it's great to be an editor! UP TO THE HOUR of making up the last page, only four distinguished gentlemen from Massachusetts have been mentioned in connection with a seat in Mr. Taft's cabinet. If Massachusetts doesn't object, might it not be timely to suggest that the whole blooming cabinet be taken from Massychewsitz. THE NOVEL SCHEME inaugurated by those enterprising merchants Kaufan and Wolf to run a free renting bureau in connection with their large and varied interests, will no doubt fill a long felt want in the Calumet region and the enterprising business men are to be congratulated on the idea. THANK GOODNESS, there is a fine lot of turkeys in sight unless some one gets out an injunction preventing one enjoying them. THE FUNERAL PROCESSION, you know, seems awfully slow to everybody, except the one inside the hearse.
THIS IS MY 73RD BIRTHDAY. Andrew L. Harris.
Andrew Litner Harris, the present governor of the state of Ohio, was born in Butler county, Ohio. November 17,
1835. He graduated from Miami unl
versity in 1860 and in the following

the Union army. He made a brilliant career and was brevet brigadier general when he was mustered out in
1865. He returned to Ohio and was
admitted to the bar. During 1866 and 1867 he was state senator and from
1875 to 1887 probate Judge. In 1892 he was elected lieutenant governor of Ohio, when McKlnley was elected governor. In 1895 he was elected lieutenant governor for the third time and when Governor J. M. Pattlson died in June, 1906, Mr. Harris became governor for the term ending in January, 1909.
Pursuant to Mayor Bookwalter's request, Frederick E. Matson, corporation counsel of Indianapolis, said last night that he would today prepare an ordinance, to be presented at the meeting of the council tonight, calling for an issue of municipal bonds to the amount of $600,000 to be used in the erection of the proposed new city hall, Ohio and Alabama streets.
