SECRETARY JOHNSTON'S COMMENDABLE PROJECT. With his characteristic energy and his efforts to instill a little activity into what is a very sluggish organization, Mr. Johnston, secretary of the Hammond Business Men's Association, has outlined a plan for its adoption wherein a pure food exhibit may be held in Hammond within the near future. The undertaking would be a ereditable one. It would last a week and daily concerts would be given which, together with the exhibit, doubtless would attract a large attendance from all over the district in general and in Lake county in particular. .Mr. Johnston believes that the industrial
and commercial importance of the city warrants the holding of such an affair
and business men have taken very kindly to the idea. The plan will be taken up at the coming meeting of the association when Mr. Johnston's scheme will be discussed pro and con. Business men should get up enough steam
to attend the meeting and push the project. It is a worthy one and will
advertise Hammond in a way it has not been advertised yet. It might be well to say also that Mr. Johnston's work as secretary of the association merits general praise, considering that his office, is not productive of a salary commensurate with the work he does. The Hammond Business Men's Association could do nothing better for itself and better for the city .than to see that the hard-working secretary is paid at least in proportion for what he is doing for the city of Hammond. . CHEW YOUR "THREE FINGERS."
Among the cure for drunkenness perhaps the most novel one is that proposed by the originator of Fletcheriam. It will be remembered that. Mr. Fletcher took a hint from the wise old cud-chewing cow and invented perpetual mastication. A pontemporary says that Mr. Fletcher has applied to inebriates his discoveries relative to mastication and asserts that his method has made prohibitionists of a large number of hard drinkers. The remedy is simple. Instead of gulping down the usual "three fingers" in the old, familiar way, letting it irradiate its sunshine in one's internal mechanism as prescribed' in the ancient Bacchic rites, the whiskey is taken In sips by the patient or victim, who proceeds to chew it stolidly for fifteen or twenty minutes, gurgling it around in his mouth until it is thoroughly insalivated. This, Fletcher says, creates a physical intolerance of excess, and it is not I6ng before the victim is taking his "nip's" with a medicine dropper. Chew your whiskey; that's the secret of intemperance. WHAT ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS NEED.
PRESIDENTS SON SORTS WOOL. A considerable fuss has been made over the fact that Theodore Koosevelt, Jr has started to learn the carpet making business. Theodore is just a ctmraon factory hand, earning $3 a week as a wool sorter. He must begin at 7 o'clock in the morning and work until G:15 in the evening, with forty-five minutes for luncheon. In a manly interview the young man said: . "I came here to work and to learn the manufacture of carpets and rugs. I am merely an employee, and I don't want or ask any special favors or notice." 1
;evertneiess tne presidents son must be handicapped and bothered by having publicity thrust upon him. The newspapers have snapshot pictures of him as he goes to his work, pictures of the factory and of his boarding house, and all that sort of thing. Why? Surely the job is honorable, and the young man is displaying the common qualities of an American citizen. He is beginning at the bottom, as other boys do. Simply because his father happens to be president is no reason why mawkish sentiment should be written about him. The young fellow is modest and willing and ought to be given his fair chance. Moreover This exploiting of Theodore's honest calling contains the hint of an apparently growing tendency to look down on the mail who earns his ubstance by manual labor. There are some per
sons who seem to regard as a sort of freak the young man who voluntarily seeks to earn his bread by the sweat of his bro. They elevate their eyebrows at the spectacle of the president's son "stooping to engage as a sorter of wools." The tendency of such criticism is un-American and deserves stinging rebuke. Let it be remembered that In this free country THE SCARS ON THE SEAMED HANDS OF THE HONEST LABORERS ARE SCARS AS HONORABLE AS THOSE RECEIVED IN BATTLE. The uniform of the soiled garments of labor Is as patriotic as the uniform of military trappings. Every one who amounts to anything In th!3 country works at something. In Europe they may call a man who does no work a "gentleman;" in this country we call him a tramp.
- Before sailing hence for home Lord Northcliffe is reported to have secured the servcies of a staff of six correspondents in this country for the London Time3. These men will be located in the leading news centers here and the fact seems to bear out his lordship's earlier statement that the .Thunderer would henceforth pay more attention to American views than it has hitherto. It is to be hoped that some English newspaper has concluded that the time is near when tnore accurate attention of contemporaneous American events is necessary. Frank S. Betz, the Hammond manufacturer, who returned recently from abroad, brought the TIMES a number of London and Liverpool papers which published stories of the national election and some of the statements purporting to be facts regarding the outcome and the preceding campaign were actually ridiculous, so far from the truth were they. By all means let the English journals engage the services of a few well-trained American newspaper men. What a change it would make in thefr columns. MR. HITCHCOCK'S REWARD.
The announcement that Frank H. Hitchcock will be the postmastergeneral in the next administration confirms what has been unofficially understood for many months. Mr. Hitchcock has earned recognition not only by his political services but by his previous service in the postoffice department. And as there is every reason to believe that the present postmaster-general is not underestimated, nor likely to be forgotten by the president-elect, the early announcement will not disturb the era of good feeling. DOESN'T WORRY MR. CARTER.
The news that Sheriff Fred S. Carter may be impeached in the Crown Point saloon case will give the official small concern. It will be but a few weeks until Mr. Carter's term of office expires and he will wear his cus
tomary smile at least up till that time. Of course the impeachment pro
ceedings may he brought for the moral effect they may have on the next
sheriff and prosecutor, but there may be some surprises in both these offices
for the people of Lake county. .

Many times Dr. Chandler has been called upon by his city, fctate and nation for the sort of assistance which only an expert chemist can give, and several years ago his services to chemical science were generously recognized across the water when he was made president of the British Society of Chemical Industry.
