THE FREAK BILL SEASON ON.
After all; it will seem like greeting an old friend when the legislature - meets at Indianapolis this , week. Indiana hasn't had a legislature session
for two years and we miss the enthusiastic work of the legislators and their
valiant fiffTirts to eret hills nassed and draw their mileage and tier diem. It
' has been a long tijae since the risibilities of the people have been tickled
by freak legislation and freak legislators. Newspaper dispatches inform an expectant constituency that there will be no lack of freak bills, however.
A bill is to be introduced in the house and is highly praised by Dr. Hurty,
Its tenor 13 that it be made a criminal offense for a person to take a chew
of tobacco of another's plug. We are told that this is highly dangerous to the public health: This is the first freak bill of the session. It makes our hearts as glad as the first robin of spring or the first ton of coal of winter. The crop of freak bills may henceforth be expected to be a bumper. There are
several other measures of far more importance to the public, however
than the tobacco plug bill. We offer a few bills for the edification of the
legislators with the hope that they will be looked after as beseems a great commonwealth's measures. (1) A bill requiring all street cars to carry a ' free lunch counter. (2) A bill requiring flat-owners to provide illuminated
. keyholes for belated lodgemen. (3) A bill requiring all drug stores to fur
nish licked postage stamps for customers. (4) A bill penalizing hotel and
restaurant men who charge a soup-sucker or a knife-eater less than twenty
five dollars a day for their lodging. But it will be necessary to run the list in installments and besides it would not do to have too many bills or our
esteemed legislators could not pass them. LOOKS ALSO INTO THE FUTURE.

TO DEEPEN KANKAKEE. I CHAPMAN OFF TO AUSTRALIA. The Kankakee Reclamation company Dr. J. Wilbua Chapman of Winona
Is planning: to deepen the river bed at Lake, the evangelist, announced last
Iowa Congressman One of Ckief Figures in President s Message on Secret Service
Editor Brown of the East Chicago Globe has a mind of his own and
isn't afraid In the least of being outspoken in the matter of the coming link
- ing together- of all the cities of the Calumet region into one. He criticizes
a certain Gary paper and says in regard to the stand taken:
"Whether the position is well taken or not can only be determined as time passes. It may seem the proper thing today to the people of Gary, most of whom are young in the experience of caring for and shaping the destinies : of a new city. A few years of real experience may work wonderful changes of opinion with the people and In the mind of the editor. There are matters of government to which may be objectionable or even opposed, yet circumstances may constrain one to fall into line, ircumetances are drawing all the cities of northwest Indiana into one great municipality that is bound to become a great metropolitan city, the name of which will be heralded to the farthest corners of the earth. Every day brings thl3 end nearer and nothing can prevent this realization. Gary may stand alone for a time but that is all. She must humble herself and bow to , the inevitable when the time arrives. Gary may be in a class by herself now; but to enjoy the wonderful development accorded to her in the future she cannot afford to hold her place as such." AS TO MOVING PICTURE MACHINES. '
COOKING FOR. THRASHERS. Ever help thrash? The farmers' wives moil at the task
of feeding the thrasher man and his helpers all the day long. And now at last in one of the counties of a middle western state the farmers' wives have struck. They refuse to cook three big
meals a day.
Good!
The thrasher men, joining issue, have
boycotted the county. They declare for three full banquets a day, else the
farmers' wheat, they say, may rot.
And there you are.
Now
The farmer's wife. If she conforms
to the old custom, must begin weeks
ahead of time to plan for the feeds.
The bounteous menu must include all
the substantial and all the delicacies
of cookery. Perhaps a beef Is killed.
Dozens of chickens are slaughtered. There must be six kinds of pie and other things in proportion.
And all day long the wife must stew
over the hot range excepting when she
washes dishes.
Through it all the man with the red
machine is monarch of all he surveys.
He tellthe household what time It must arise in the morning. In the
evening no man dares knock off until
he gives the signal. Let the cook wait and keep the supper piping hot. People and premises farm, barn, house, help, cook, even the dog are subject slave to the masterful man with the "separator." And, it may be added, much authority has made him as dictatorial as much good feeding has made him critical of cuisine. Therefore the long meditated revolt of the independent women of the farm and to them all hall! Let the presumptuous thrasher man modify his voracious demands or put up with a cold luncheon.
What with her common tasks of
cooking, mending, washing, butter
making and the other thousand and
one errands of the farm wife, she has enough to do without asking her to boil her brains over a hot cook stove
to feed a small army.
They do it differently in the far
west
There the thrasher gang carries a
cooking outfit, and the squad cook pre
pares the meals. No extra demand is made of the rancher's wife. Instead of toiling In her kitchen listen! the farmer's wife is often a guest at the
thrasher's table. It is quite a picnic
Never was there juster grievance
Momtnce, I1L, by the removal of lime
stone rock. Thia rockbed at Momence stands as a barrier against the success
ful drainage of the Kankakee marsh district and is accountable for the destructive overflows every spring.
COLLEGE BASEBALL INTERESTS. Candidates for the baseball team at
Notre Dame University near South Bend, will soon go into training, not
withstanding that the season is more than three months ia the future. The
night that the five weeks' revival scheduled for Chicago beginning in March probably will be abandoned. Accompanied by Charles M. Alexander, the singer. Dr. Chapman, on March 24, will sail for Australia, where he will conduct evengellstic meetings. LA FAYETTE IS CLOSED TOWS. After getting strict orders from the Lafayette police to keep their doors closed after hours, there were few sa
loon men in the city who had the
cm win do issued wunm a week ana temerity to keep rear bar entrances it is expected that at least forty menopan Sunday. Promptly at 11 o'clock will appear in uniforms when Coach ' Saturday night the saloon were emptied.
Curtice is ready to take hold of the
squad. TO BUY GAS-ELECTRIC CAR. The Chicago & Alton railroad, beginning today will experiment with a gas-electrio car between Bloomington, Ind., and Dwight, 111., fifty-three miles. Two round trips a day will be made and if at the end of two weeks the teat is considered favorable more cars
ill be used. In this way the road
hopes to compete with the interurban
lines. . BEVERIDGE GETS RELIEF" MONEY,
The Indianapolis police force, through
Chief Metrger, is in receipt of a dispatch from Senator Beverldge acknowl
edging the receipt by him of the sub
acription over $200 for use among the Lake of St. Louis, Mo., third vice preslsufferers in Italy. The dispatch states dent of the Catholic Total Abstinence
that the money has been turned over
to the state department to be used at

By rar,e- good fortune a loss of life and escape fro injury was averted in a Gary, moving picture show the first of the week, when an explosion
took place during the progress of the program. There were about three
hundred people in the theater at the time and a wild scramble ensued
Fortunately cool-witted persons contributed largely to the fact that no one was seriously injured. There is a disposition among newspapers in the
largest cities at present to ask whether the moving picture shows are per
fectly safe and in the discussion which has followed there is considerable difference of opinion. One paper conducted an investigation and found
that a good many men, who operate the moving picture apparatus, smoke and imperil the celluloid films in that way. There are moving picture machines in Gary, Hammond, Crown Point, East Chicago, Whiting and Indiana Harbor and it will be well for the authorities of the various places
to see that the ordinances requiring the operation of the machines to be
perfectly safe and properly conducted are rigidly kept. HAMMOND WANTS NONE OF THEM.
than that of these striking farm
wives.
The arrest of two females in Hammond on the charge of conducting a
disreputable resort will come as a great surprise to a great many people
who", ofter the memorable raids and disclosures of bygone years had sup
posed that the city was morally clean. It is, of course, difficult for the police i
to stamp out this evil, and the local authorities have no doubt tried hard to
locate offenders of public morals. There are, however, a number of other places in Hammond whose owners and-lessees had better change their mode of loose life. Some of these places the police have been striving to put under the ban for some time, but it has been difficult to get the requisite evidence. Hammond is no place for women of easy virtue and the citizens of the community will not tolerate it. The quicker they move out and the longer they stay out, the better pleased Hammond will be. Complaints have been made to the TIMES anent the character of two other houses in Hammond and unless there is a mending of ways, the full particulars of the cases ' will be given publicity. - OF THE 1100 diseases to which the human body Is liable, according to a German physician, there are forty-eight peculiar to the eye.

A Lost Subscriber. Slips of the tongue are to be put
down to bad luck as much, perhaps, as
to poor elocution. A young man who
was recently canvassing for subscrip

the paper he was urging upon her.

said. "Every week this periodical

(Washington, D. C, Jan. 4. 1909) Senate. With practically no opposition the the senate today passed the house bill
appropriating $800,000 to aid the Italian earthquake sufferers. Senator Bailey of Texas declared that such appropriations were unconstitutional, but did nothing to delay congressional action.
The sum of $400,000 was appropriated
by a senate bill today for the purchase of a building in Paris as the home of the American ambassador.- The bill
will at once go to the house for its consideration. Jan. 14 was today designated for consideration of the omnibus claims bill which carries an appropriation of $2,300,000. House. After having been In session a little over an hour, the house adjourned out Of respect to the memory of Representative Davey of Louisiana, who died during the recess. Numerous messages from the presi
dent on various subjects were read. The
most important were a message recommending aid for the Italian earthquake sufferers and a message responding to a resolution asking for information as to what the president meant In his annual message regarding the secret service. The relief asked for the stricken Italian people was quickly and unanimously given, the sum of $800,000 being appropriated, while the secret service message was referred to the special committee having to do with the matter after Mr. Griggs of Georgia had moved to have it returned to the president, which motion he later withdrew.

IN POLITICS
Governor Bert M. Fernald of Maine, whose inauguration takes place this
week, is said to be the first genuine
to fill the office of chief executive in the PInetree state. An instance of how public men of prominence sometimes mysteriously disappear from the public horizon is furnished In the case of William D. Bynum, a former Indiana democratic leader who a few years ago was regarded as a national authority on the tariff question. After his retirement from congress Mr. Bynum left Indiana quietly and has since been living quietly in Oklahoma. According to report Senator La Follette has offered the position of managing editor of the weekly paper he is about to launch to J. Herbert Quick of Iowa. Mr. Quick is a former mayor of Sioux City. In addition to doing considerable work as a Journalist he has found time to write several novels which met with considerable favor from the reading public. George T. Oliver, one of the leading candidates to succeed United States Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Is the publisher of three daily newspapers in Pittsburg. He belongs to a very wealthy family which made Its millions in the steel business a number of years ago. During the last campaign Mr. Oliver Is said to have raised $250,000 for the republican national committee among his Pittsburg associates. Though active in politics for
many years he has never before been
farmer who has ever been called upon a candidate for high public office.
