WHAT ONE MAN THINKS OF LEGISLATURES. Do legislatures cost too much money? Would it be possible to get along without them? Well, a Lake county man, who is not a politician, but a business man, and who is well posted on current events, evidently thinks so He says: "Many states have -abolished annual legislature sessions on account of the expense. They save $100,000 every other year by having Menial meetings of their legislatures and they seem to get all the laws
they need. - We do not need such large legislative halls where men gather to do tasks like school boys for a few months and rusa measures through by trickery, or delay other measures by parliamentary strategy. I believe our legislative chambers should be open practically all the time and a corps
of clerks kent on hand to do the routine business. Members snouia oe per
mitted to attend the legislature and introduce bills just as lawyers go to court to make motions. All speeches and bills should be printed and furnished to members whether they are presenter not. Every member should have the
right to vote on all measures by mail and not be compelled to attend meet-
ines for the purpose of voting for bills which are of no interest to his con
stituents. Such a plan would remove all necessity for extra sessions and it would be Impossible to either jam laws through or delay others for political
nurnoses."
Impossible, you say? Well, perhaps, but isn't there sound sense in some
of his arguments? DEAL WITH BOTH, PARENTS AND BOYS.
The question of what shall be done with lads of foreign birth, who come
to this country and particularly North and Calumet townships with their parents, to prey upon the public, is one that needs attention. Unaccustomed
to the parental neglect with which in dealing with these cases, the autnori
ties are bound to come into close contact, the problemn is a weighty one for them to solve. In Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, Gary and Indiana Harbor examples of juvenile depravity and inborn criminal instinct have become
all too prevalent within the past two years. If Lake county needs anything
badly, it needs a juvenile court where these cases may be properly dealt with, and truancy officers, well enough paid, to keep a weather eye open for these young delinquents, who ought to grow up Into good citizenship instead
of criminal tendencies. This district needs a juvenile officer of mature years
but not too old, who can handle the cases properly that come under his attention. In making truant officer appointments these things should
be gravely considered. A CRITICAL PROCEDURE.

REWARD FOR MURDERER. A reward has been offered in the Hendren murder case at Greencastle. One hundred dollars has been 'set aside by the county for this purpose and the interurban company has agreed to give another $100. The city council of Greencastle at its meeting last night swelled the total to $300. It is thought the murderer will be found, for this reward will probably, interest detectives in the case. J. E.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
Very few people realize what a terrible financial wreck could be brought upon this country by disturbing its railway systems. It is amusing to hear the advocates of government ownership talk about the way the government could handle "our roads." These people have not the slightest conception of the number of roads traversing the United States. There are nearly fifteen hundred different roads and with all the brain and skill and money of our modern captains of transportation, they have been unable to get the 220,000 miles, which these fifteen hundred companies control, subdivided into less than fifty-seven systems. Now, how would the government ever be able to accomplish what the smartest men in the land have not been able to bring about? Another thing which would have to be considered is the immense amount of money invested in roadbeds, depots and rolling stock. As a matter of fact, our government is, with all its resources, too poor to own 220,000 miles of railroad. There are a lot of minor evils in the railroad business tiat need correcting, but above all things, It would not do to tamper with a thing which, if stalled In its natural course of progress, would ruin the country. WITH THE ADVENT of a prosperous-appearing baseball league in the Calumet region and a brand new athletic club in Hammond, it begins to look as if the athletic side of life in these parts is not to be neglected, which Is certainly not to be sneezed at.

THIS IS MY 59TH BIRTHDAY. James II. Cummiakey.
James II. Cummlskey, commissioner of public works of Prince Edward Island and one of the prominent men in the public life of that province, was
born Nov. 27, 1849, in Fort Augustus
P. E. I. He was educated in the pub
lie schools and in Prince of Wales col
lege. He taught school for several years and in 1872 entered commercial
life. In 1891 he was elected a mem
ber of the legislature. His election
together with the return of another
liberal member, gave the liberals a ma
jorlty and overthrew the conservative
government, which had been in power since 1S78. In 1897 Mr. Cummlskey was elected speaker of the legislative assembly, a position he held for seven
years. He was returned at the gener
al elections of 1897 and 1900. In the
latter year ho was appointed commis sioner of public works. In . recen
years Mr. Cummlskey has been acting
premier of Prince Edward Island on
several occasions.

Twe Novel Contrivance. That Will
Facilitate Work In the Kitchen. City dwellers ought surely to appre
ciate th new stopper for the milk bottle In which almost every family has
its supply furnished nowadays. The want of Just this device has always been felt, for the cover provided is never satisfactory when once it has been removed. The new stopper fits into the neck of the milk bottle, and,
being provided with a rubber edge,
makes the bottle airtight when pressed
down into the orifice.
Another contrivance that will be
most useful in a kitchen, and yet will
take up so little room that it can be
packed away in a corner drawer when
not in use, is a strainer that folds up
and fits on the edge of any bowl or Jar.
The foundation is a circle of strong
wire from which drop three prongs
with spring ends. The ends when
pushed down over the edge of the bowl
grasp the rim firmly and become rigid
supports for the circular frame.
The strength of the three legs is
gathered not only from the spring
which engages the edge of the bowl,
but from bent ends that grasp the curved edge of the rim with which
most basins are provided.
When the wire-work structure is set
up on the bowl, it becomes the foun
aation for a strainer that is placed in the wire circle and rests there on
its own wire frame.
Into this strainer the material to the strained can be poured. It will filter down Into the bowl without the least
risk or trouble or necessity for atten
tion from the housewife. It takes but a few seconds to adjust the strainer
and it can be based on any basin or
bowl.
Similar useful and economical is the new lemon squeezer that fits into the neck of any Jar or bottle. When so
placed the Juice of the fruit will run down readily through the holes in the squeezer, without the undesirable part being able to get into the bottle. The
squeezer can be converted into one of the ordinary kind by the removal of
the part that fits into the bottle.

Dr. J. T. Clark la not only a man of leisure but he is going in for blooded
stock. He has just purchased about as
fine a piece of horse meat as can be found in the city. His stallion is a black beauty and he hitches It to one of the neatest outfits to be seen on our local boulevards. Dr. Clark is now promoting a horse show, which is to be an annual affair in this city and In which the principal prize will be awarded to stallions owner by Hammond doctors. Dr. Ciark has always been an admirer of the equine family and somehow his Kentucky Cunnel makeup seems to suggest horses. The doctor is in his element when he is pushing the reins which steer his stallion, and as he alleged to have traded two town lots to Dr. T. Edwin Bell for the animal it is apparent that his love of the sport of kings has gotten the better of his commercial tendencies.

Balmy weather ln Lake county took flight yesterday before a wind which at nine o'clock In the morning reached a velocity of forty-seven miles an hour. The near-gale, which brought peril to two men on the lake, began about one o'clock a. m., and at six o'clock had sent the mercury down fifteen degrees to forty. At eight o'clock last night the temperature was normal for the season, the mercury having fallen to

From the testimony offered before the ways and means committee of the House at the tarifT hearing, it is evident that some reduction, possibly 10 to 20 per cent, will be made in the duties on iron, steel and metal products when the new tariff bill is framed.

it had in all of its history before. That is not saying that there has not been
some progress along that line.
In the matter of street signs. The
city officials blundered into the false
economy of permitting a local painter to put up signs bearing the names of
the streets and also carrying with them
about four columns, eight inches of ad
vertising, space. These signs are a re
proach to the city beautiful idea and
should the city be plastered with them
it would be nothing short or a ca
lamity.
If we might be permitted to digress
to the extent of allowing the city beau
tiful idea to include the ciy comfortable idea, we would suggest that the city officials at once enforce the awn
ing ordinance. There is an ordinance which pro
vides that all awnings shall be at least
eight feet from the sidewalk. At the present time there are about four-
fifths of the awnings beneath the pre scribed limit.
The city officials hesitate to compel the business men to raise their awn
ings for fear it wil make some of them angry which would doubtless be the case, but they should also take into
consideration the long suffering pub 11c.

ABOUT LINGERIE.
While one must always use either
nainsook, cambric or longcloth for mi
lady's dainty under muslins, there is a
wide variety of lace.,
Of course, the greatest favorite i
French Valenciennes, and while it is good looking and wears well, German
alenclennes is even better. Another
beautiful lace Is torchon, and when the
real kind it may be purchased for 50
cents the yard. It is surely worth
the money, for it wears longer than any other. Imitation torchon, too, is very
dainty and attractive, and washes fa
better than does Valenciennes.
Underclothes are best when they are
cut on the circular plan, so that there
will be no fullness to mar the fit of
outer swathing gown.
All of the daintiest lingerie is fast
ened with ribbons, and these should always be of the washable kind, so
that, should the owner neglect to take them out before sending the garment to
the laundry, they will not be ruined
n the tub. Ribbon an inch wide may
be purchased for as little as 20 cents the yard, while one-quarter Inch wide washable ribbon is 7 cents the yard.
It takes a good bit of ribbon to make the complete set of lingerie, but it has the advantage of wearing a very long time and being most satisfactory. It comes with a polka dot with a satin
finish that makes it extremely dainty. Pink is a much better selection than blue, for It holds its color a longer time. Do not rub soap upon these ribbons, for it makes them stiff, and do not iron them when they are wet.
Joaeph Conroy'a work for the demo cratic party ln Lake county was abou as effective as that of any other demo

if there had been more Joe Conroy
the vote might have been a little more
favorable to democracy.
A little Incident happened during one
of Mr. Conroy's speechmaking tours
which Is still laughed about by th Hammond attorney's friends. In on
of the little cross roads ln the south
em part of the county Mr. Conroy was
introduced in the following manner

SUITS FOR YOUNGSTERS. Some people think that the regulaion sailor suit must be made of bluo
flannel and trimmed with white braid. Of course, this Is very appropriate; it
Is extremely good looking and It wears awfully well, but It certainly limits any attempt at variety, and in the dressing of the little folks we like to
avail ourselves of all possible variety in fabrics, for so much ln the way of style which may be claimed by the
grownups is denied them. Do you know that shepherd's check ln black
and white maks very smart little sail
or suits, and, brightened with decorations of red, they are very attrf:tive
nd youthful? Tartan plaids, too, are very band-
some for this purpose, and the decora
tions for these may be red, white or black.
No material is more satisfactory than
serge, and a suit of red serge, with
trimmings of black, is very stylish.
Serge in a rich shade of brown with
decorations in yellow or white, makes a handsome suit, and black serge, with white trimmings, and white serge with black trimmings, make a most appro
priate style of mourning for a child. Sailor suits of white serge or white linen may be used for "dress-up" occasions, and, with red or blue decora
tions, are very effective.
For the everyday suits for little men
and women there is no more satisfactory material than dark blue wool serge. It Is well worth while to se
lect a good quality of this material for this purpose, as it receives hard wear
and may have recourse to the washtub
even as does a suit of linen or cotton. Of all the styles of clothes for children, the regulation sailor suit is less quickly outgrown; therefore, as it may be used for several yeara, it Is wise to select serge of a good quality.
PRACTICAL CARRIAGE CLOAK. Rather more practical than ornate was a long carriage cloak which was worn one of these stormy afternoons, but its lines were very smart. It was a full length, semi-fitting garment of fawn colored broadcloth, trimmed with soutache in a darker shade, applied to form bands on shoulders and sleeves. The sleeves, long and ample, were In one with the garment and were trimmed with bands of braiding. The high collar was of a darker shade of velvet. The fronts crossed and were fastened with large silver buttons.

This is laid on like a flat drapery and falls over the hair at the back. The effect is excellent, especially if the wearer be tall. Wings and breast feathers are quite as much worn as ostrich feathers.
LONG SLEEVES NEEDED. It is worth noting that the long sleeves in net or chiffon charactertistlc of frocks of cloth or satin or velvet are usually lined with white chiffon; a frock of embroidered black velvet, for example, had the sleeves of spotted black net, white chiffon lined, and this seemed to lead up to the little white kid gloves.
