LAWYERS' ARGUMENTS ARE SOUND. There is a "sound sense in what Hon. A. F. Knotts, president of the Lake County Bar Association, says in regard to the congestion in the Lake county courts and this interview, coming from one of the oldest practitioners in this part of the state, and a man who owns property in both Hamond and Gary, will have added weight on that account To put it short, Mr. Knotts believes that the congestion should be relieved in the quickest way possible and he does not believe that this can bo done by establishing a court either it Crown Point or at Gary. Mr. Knotts' opinion will stand the calcium light and he voices practically the same expression as the other

lawyers on the committee, except those who returned the minority report last ni eht The interview with Attorney Frank N. Gavit of Whiting in

today's issue is also timely and his argument is sound as well. . There seems to be a mistaken idea in Gary and that is that the Ham'

mond lawyers speak of Gary in a patronizing way as if they had anything

to do with the question of whether or not Gary should have a court now. This is of course due largely to "a certain Gary newspaper which has taken upon itself the task of running the whole city and has made an amusing failure of it. As the TIMES has pointed out, Gary will get a superior court when the business warants it. Lake county is a rich county but it is not throwing any money away, and a good many of the professional and business men of Gary are beginning to see that the time is not yet ripe for a superior court. DID THE WISE THING.

Sam Ableman, the republican candidate for trustee of North township, will not contest the election. Defeat was naturally a bitter pill for Mr. Ableman. He worked harder to be elected than any other man on either county or township ticket from' either party and as it was his first appearance in politics, it was hard for hixn to lose. When he has been in a few more political battles Mr. Ableman won't care so much. He was wise in refusing to contest, however. People hate a poor loser. The man who whines and paws the air when he is a loser In one of the battles of life, generally comes to be despised and pitied. Mr. Ableman retires with far more friends than he would have if he contested. His opponent was elected and if he wasn't elected squarely he is ont to blame for it. No one would think of accusing Mr. Becker with connivance at fraud. His life has been an open book and the citizens and tax payers of North township are to be congratulated that he is to be the next township trustee. He will be a worthy successor to F. R. Schaaf, the present trusted guardian of North township's strong box. - A NEW KINK IN INSURANCE.

WALKING AS AN EXERCISE. This heart to heart talk will be about the benefit of walking as an exercise and the why. You know physicians recommend this as the best all around exercise known to them. Why? Let's put the matter In plain speech and print out the main words in capital letters: , In the first place, when you walk you RAISE THE TEMPERATURE OF TOUR BODY. It is like putting a lot of coal in the stove and opening the draft. There's something doing. Waste is being carried off and your muscles and nerves get needed nutriment when the temperature is raised.

Besides, you BREATHE MORE DEEPLY when you walk. And that puts more oxygen in your blood, and oxygen is LIFE. And there's the skin. Millions of pores little sewers are opened up. Perspiration carries off waste, waste which if it stayed in your blood would poison you. And your DIGESTION walking aids that process and puts an edge on your appetite. And good digestion waits on appetite. But that is not all. There's your diaphram. That useful thing is a sort of movable stage plat

form between the chest and the abdomen. It is raised or lowered by the

contraction or swelling of the lungs

When the lungs are filled the diaphram

goes down and presses upon the liver,

stomach and spleen. Now

This movement of the" diaphram up

and down, especially down, Is like a massage on the liver, stomach and

spleen. The massage helps to keep

those organs in good order, especially the liver, ne who walks regularly

and systematically will have no liver troubles. Nothing is here said about the MENTAL BENEFITS the exhilaration that comes from being in the open, the joy that comes In knowing that your whole organism Is in good working order and the reaction of the mind on the body. Do you see? Especially that about the diaphram? It pays to walk, purely as a beneficial exercise, to say nothing of the enjoyment. It pays big. He who constructed your body did not intend you to ride. He gave you two legs.

MARSHALL WAS ORATOR. Governor-elect Marshall was the orator at the memorial services of the Elks lodge at the Grand opera house, Anderson, Sunday afternoon. The ceremonies were presided over by Exalted Ruler Fred Van Nuys. The address to the members of the lodge was delivered by George M. Ballard. STRANGER AROUSES CURIOUS. During the Trlbbey whitecap trial at Rushville the court officials have been much puszled by the action of a stranger who comes into the courtroom occasionally, saunters up to the railing which divides the room, pulls out pencil and paper and takes shorthand notes of the evidence. WED ON WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

A novel form of insurance has been introduced in Massachusetts which they call "Bread and Butter Insurance." It Is as easy to insure your life in the Bay state now as it is to buy a drink in Lake county on Sunday. Every savings bank is authorized to conduct an insurance department where a man or a woman can be insured in three sizes, according to the capacity of the pocketbook, at a cost of from fifty cents to $1.25 per month. A man of twenty-five years can get, for example, for 65 cents per month the sum of $250 at the age of 65 or the same policy may become an annuity at $50 per year. Or for 50 cents a month he may secure a paid-up policy of $250 when he reaches the age of 75. His life is, of course insured in the meantime for the full amount of the policy. The third degree is for an endowment policy of $246 which costs 50 cents a month until you are 65 years old when it is paid in full. The state pays the cost of the actuary's department and no solicitors are allowed to canvass for the bread and butter insurance, so the cheapness of the rates is thus accounted for to some extent. It is- said that the scheme is working pretty well and that all it needs Is a press agent. The law in itself reminds one of the laws passed by some of the recent Indiana legislatures It is so different. WHY DESTROY A CHILD'S FAITH.

This is about the time of the year when a lot of parents, and especially others begin to do their annual fuming as to whether their children should be allowed to believe in Santa Claus. It seems rather hard, to us of the past generation of Santa Claus believers, that the children of today have all their childish faith shattered in Kris Kringle. Why must children be brought up not to believe in the exquisite fairy tales and fanciful creations we all so loved in bygone days? Why must children be taught that they must not believe in these things? Why destroy the .illusions of childhood anyway? Tots leave chldhood all too soon and are plunged into the stern

realities of life when they are unprepared for it. What harm did any child ever get from believing in Santa Claus and the beautiful world-wide Christ

mas legend? ' .

THE SEVERING OF amateur athletic relations with England appears

to have been accomplished as far as the Amateur Athletic Union is, con

cerned, but it will not necessarily precipitate an international crisis. It

looks like a rather boyish performance, resembling the unpleasantness ex

of sliding down her cellar door.

FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND head of cattle, 62,000 hogs and 46,000 sheep, not to" mention thousands of other animals, including horses and calves, arrived at the Chicago stockyards one day recently and remind us of the impressive fact that the Windy city is not losing her grip as the

greatest live stock center in the world.

New York, Dec. 8. (Special.) It be

came known today that Mrs. Foxhall Keene had filed a suit for separation

from her husband. The case came up for trial before Justice Marean In the

Mineola supreme court today. As Mr.

Keene Is in Colorado and cannot get here until Thursday, the case was set over for that day.

The proceeding today was the first

hint that the troubles of the Keenes had come to a suit, the prellmlnary

proceedlngs having been conducted so quietly as to escape public notice. ;

Mr. and Mrs. Kenee separated about

three years ago. At that time they were living at their summer home.

Rosemont, Wheatly Hills, Long Island.

Friends of the couple then declared

their quarrel was. not serious and would soon be patched up. What was the real cause of the trouble was not announced at the time nor has it been revealed since. It is said, however, that it all will be disclosed at the trial. At the time of the separation Colonel Lawrence, Mrs. Keene's father, while admitting that his daughter and her husband had decided to live apart, asserted he did not know the cause of their difficulties. Foxhall Keene has epent a great deal of the last few year6 in England and the west. Mrs. Keene has lived with her father and relatives. Mrs. Keene was fcrmerly Mrs. Frank W. White. She was married to Foxhall Keene on Dec. 10, 190J.

What Attorney Manlove Says! Position Taken by Gary Lawyer in Regard to Gary Ear

Attorney George Manlove outlined

the position of the Gary bar and the

people of Gary in an interview with a reporter for The Times last evening.

"Gary did not withdraw from the

Lake County Bar association, it simply

withdrew from the meeting after the minority report Jiad been turned down. This is but the beginning of the fight- '

love that it is too bad that the inevitable rivalry between the cities of Norh ownshlp, comprising Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, should have been precipitated so soon. It is sure to come some time, but It might have been delayed a little while. Mr. Manlove replied that this rivalry was sure to develop sooner or later and that It might as well be precipitated now as in the future. That gives

of the members of the bar an Idea of he fighting spirit of the peo

ple of Gary, and It is very likely that the coming contest for additional court facilities In Lake county will be a memorable one.

"Some

have made the statement that they are in the fight for five years if it takes that long to win out. I know the people in the rest of Lake county think we are presuming too much to ask for a court, but they will see that we really mean to get one before we are through with the fight. "Even if the lawyers of Gary could be persuaded that it would be better for them to drop the fight now and wait until they could secure the cooperation of the rest of the county later on, I doubt whether the business men of the city could be prevailed upon to drop the contest. It'a Now or Never. "The people of Gary have got it Into their heads that they are going to have a superior court and they will not stop until they get one. They are also firm In the conviction that if they do not prevent Hammond from getting its additional court now the new judge will absorb the extra business of Lake county and It will be a long time before Gary will get a court. "They may be wrong or they may be right in that contention, but the fact remains that the people of Gary are convinced that it is a case of 'now or never' with them and they propose to fight for a court now. "While I will admit that the odds are against us in this fight, you never can tell what you can do until you try. You don't suppose the people of the city of Boston thought the United States would win the war of the rebellion when they threw the English tea overboard?" Mr. Manlove says the people of Gary would have been better off if they had never permitted their end of the matter to come up in the Lake County Bar association. He says they could have fought It out alone with better results. Gary vs. the County, i It was suggested to- Attorney Man-

IN POLITICS

The opponents of Charles F. Murphy's leadership with Tammany Hall are preparing for a fight against him at the September primaries. John B. Sheatz, treasurer of the state of Pennsylvania, has announced his candidacy for the United States senate in opposition to Senator Penrose. A suit has been filed in Ohio to test the constitutionality of the Rose local option law, by which more than half the counties of that state have voted out saloons. Adlai F. Stevenson, the defeated democratic candidate for governor of Illinois, is said to be preparing to seek a legislative recount of the votes cast for himself and C!i?.rles S. Deneen at the November election. Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia, who Is to be voted f?r In the primary of next year, is again to hax-e a clear field, as he has always had since his first election to the United States senate t In New York the impression exists that Timothy Woodruff, who burled his senatorial aspirations in favor of Elihu Root, will be rewarded by President Taft with an appointment to a foreign embassy, probably to the court of St. James. James G. Butler, who ia mentioned as a probable opponent of Senator Joseph B. Foraker In Ohio, is a resident of Youngstown. He la known as one of the big men in the United States Steel corporation. Never before in the history of Virginia have so many local and state contests for office been crowded into one year as will be fought out in 1909. The new state constitution made violent changes concerning the terms of officers and the time for the election of many of them, and also made a large number heretofore appointive elective by the people.
