STOP THE SALE If RepresentativeElelect Wickey Lake county and something for Indiana, statute books of the )tate making it unless on the prescrip ion of a reputable ferent from a lot of lators, that It ought he insipid and o nave smootn scathing denunciation of Indiana and

in Lake county are 'evidences enough that the deleterious and deadly fiake is peddled by druggets in "Hammond, Whiting and Gary. The existence of coke clubs of younjj men in Hammond is evidence enough that a certain Hammond druggist ought to be in the penitentiary for the cocaine he has sold for his own ve lal profit. COXD WEATHER IS BADLY NEEDED.

The weather inan fooled the people yesterday by predicting a drop of the metal liquid hto the twenties before the afternoon, but the real weather man decided to iihow up his understudy and "brite and fair" was the result. However, wintei is on his way here and it will be well to get ready for him and have everything ship-shape for Jack Frost. The last named gentleman, by the way, c?;n't come any too soon. He is wanted badly by business men for the holiday trade that comes in today is no holiday trade to speak of unless it brmgs cold and sparkling weather. Pull out the cold stop, Mr. Weathermpji, inject some needed life into business. INDIANA LEADERS TAKE THE RIGHT STAND. Ii the matter of tariff revision, Speaker Cannon hopes for "concession and. compromise." The redoubtable old gentleman so far has got practically everything he wants, but it is to be hoped that he won't get his "hope" Regarding the tariff. The people .of the United States want tariff revision. 'They elected Mr. Taft president because he was nominated on a platform

that provided for tariff revision. It is

lican leaders, Messrs. Crumpacker and Eeveridge, want tariff revision and want it unequivocally. They will aid the president-elect in waging war on the stand-patters and the people of Indiana rejoice that these distinguished gentlemen will be in the thick of the fight. . , MUSICAL CORPS PLANS LONG TIME AHEAD.

With the customary pluck and enterprise the Hammond Male Chorus has already begun plans for its concert in May. The recent concert of the premiere musical organization of the city, held at the First Methodist church,

was not the success it should have been owing to counter attractions, chief

among which was politics. The concert itself was a splendid one but, sad to say, lacked attendance and disappointed its promoters. The concert given

by the musical organization in May

held in this part of the state. Hammond people, who love culture and the beautiful things of life, will have it in their power then to make amends in the shape of patronage and attendance. GARY WILL GET HER COURT, '

It will not do for Gary to be discouraged because it has been baffled in her first attempt to get a superior court. That is not the spirit to manifest at all. The day is coming when Gary will have a court of her own, but be

cause the committee appointed by the see it that way now, should not be the

in disgust. When Gary has the business for a court she will get on. Her

lawyers may argue that there is business for one now, but other lawyers

do not see it that way. Gary will have fondest lovers anticipate. There is no

need for bitterness and the sighs of defeat. Cheerfullness, hope and con tinned growth and enterprise will bring it. WE NOTE THAT a woman in a sheath gown, appearing 'in a Connecti

cut court, almost created a riot. If the residents in rural communities will not read and so keep posted on the fashions, the constables will have to quit being obsessed of those virtue spasms that cause them to tear down

vaudeville posters. The populace must

FRANK HITCHCOCK is so bashful that it i3 declared he hates to be

Heart to Heart I

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. HIS LAST REGISTRY. HENRY L. SMITH, HEAVEN. That was the peculiar way la which a deaf and dumb man registered at the police station at Sioux City, la. Why heaven's registry book at a police station? It might be thire. Indeed, it is at likely to be there as in some of the high priced hostelrles where the bediimonded clerk holds out the pen for the registry. Smith was neatly dressed, evidently well educated and showed a cheerful and gracious spirit. The desk sergeant says he was courteous in demeanor and exceedingly kind. Was the man sane? Did he devoutly believe as the book says, "Your citizenship is In heaven?" Or was he a crank? No matter. If his head was addled his heart was sound. The man bunked at the station several nights, hunting for work, which he failed to find. He was glad to perform any service) however menial, for the sergeant Deaf and dumb, but great souled! Henry L. Smith was not deaf to the real harmonies of life, not dumb in proclaiming allegiance to that country "whose Mater and Builder is God," but deaf to earth's discords, dumb to speak ill of any a heavenly guest in humanity's garb. And then one day Smith started to walk to his home in Nebraska. That evening he was struck by, an Omaha train and killed. Well The human torches in Nero's gar dens, Paul's headless body on the road to Ostia, Savonarola by way of the stake, Henry L. Smith on a railroad track you see, THERE IS NO SPECIAL ROUTE BY WHICH HOME SICK MORTALS GO HOME. For surely Henry L. Smith will be "at home" in heaven. Here he grew tired hunting for work; there he "shall work for an age at a sitting and never grow tired at all." So far as we know, he had never crushed with clumsy feet the flowers of human kindness nor thrust unholy hands into the heartstrings of a friend deaf and dumb and poor, but ONE OF GOD'S GENTLEMEN. Plebeian name, Henry L. Smith, but who knows? it may be an illustrious name in celestial regions. He registered finally at his home hotel. at German universities. Upon his return to America in 1871 he became professor of e:hemistry and geology at the University of West Virginia, where he remained until he joined the faculty of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. Dr. Fontaine has written numerous books and papers on geology and mineralogy and Is regarded as a high authority on those branches of science. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS All the fool election bettors do not live in Hammond. John Cronin of Plymouth, Mass., is tp kiss the first seven cows he meets as a result of his bet-losing. Poor bossies! In this age of extravagance the married man who holds onto his money finds he bas a hard time holding onto his wife. Weighing the Evidence. Charles Gannott seems to like this section of the country. He was seen on our streets twice last Sunday. North Walworth Cor. Walworth (Wis.) News. A girl's idea of a sensible man is one who doesn't propose until he has money enough to support her in luxury. Jimmy Clabby says he doesn't need any barflies to ook after his interests. He has plenty of good friends. While a girl may believe vrHh the Doctors that there are Microbes in a Kiss, yet She Thinks A man ought to Be brave enough to take a chance. Mr. Rockefeller's failing memory certainly has done him a good turn. It sometimes pays to forget. Two-thirds of the words in the average high school girl's letters are adjectives. It might be well for you to be able to put your Singer on a man who is an adept at shoveling snow. It's bound to come.
