J. Frank Hanly, governor of Indiana no longer, has sung Ms swan
song and retires from the chief executivesbip of the state, more discredited and less popular than any other man who ever filled the chair. That he will be retired to political oblivion, few in Indiana doubt, and there are still fewer who will not say that his fate was a just one. He set himself up as a dictator and czar early in his administration and carried things with such a high hand that he was out of the tune for ever after with the leaders of his party. The assinlne exhibition that he made of himself in the Chicago convention will never be forgotten by Lake county people whose misfortune it was to hear him derided. Since that time Hanly has been more hated by republicans over the state than ever. He heaped disaster on his party during the campaign and cost the state thousands of dollars by calling the special session of the legislature when there was absolutely no reason for it He has spent the time belonging to the state in delivering chatauqua lectures and listening to the sounds of his own voice. He is responsible for the defeat of James E. Watson, solely and through his political blunder Senator James E. Hemenway, for the time being, was returned to private life. Among the republicans of Hammond Hanly and Hanlyism are universally detested and they feel like singing peans of joy to know that he is once more a common citizen and a very common one at that. Absolutely no interest is felt in his future in Hammond at all. The less people hear of him the better will they be pleased.
They have no faith in his sincerity nor trust in his motives and are thor
oughly glad that he is down and out. Hanly couldn't be elected sewer inspector in Hammond. O 9 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES.
One of the most serious questions of the day is the question of the un
employed. In fact it is a world problem. Over in England a great army of men, which is increasing daily at an alarming rate, is constantly parading the streets of London and in fact all the important industrial centers, demanding wark. The United Kingdom is making little or no headway in its attempted recovery from the industrial depression of last year and the
year before. All of the important lines of industry are still at a very low
ebb and both business men and politicians are at their wits ends to sug
gest a remedy. England now realizes that she made a great mistake in
not setting aside her political differences a year ago and not settling down to a conservative ethod of rebuilding her stagnant industrial condition.
That is where the United States made a wise move. When the people of this country see that any political or social disturbance is likely to have a
bad effect upon the industrial fabric, they have the happy faculty of for
getting their minor differences of opinion and buckling down to good old-
fashioned wood sawing. SOMETHING FOR THEM TO THINK ABOUT.
Gary has reached the state capital and has already, even before the
beginning of the session, begun to astound the legislature with figures,
For instance, Indianapolis dispatches acquaint us with the fact that $8,000 is to be spent by Gary to entertain the legislature on a trip to Gary for the
purpose of enlisting the aid of that body in securing a superior court for
Garv. Of course the amount is grossly exaggerated, for no one in Lake
county believes that Gary will spend any such sum of money and if it did
there would be no earthly reason to believe that the legislature would
give Gary a superior court house in return for a Pullman car-champagne junket from the state capital. If Gary can convince the legislature that
its figures dealing with the number of cases from that place now on the
civil and criminal dockets in the superior and circuit courts are true the legislature may be convinced. Crown Point and Hammond lawyers, who
are striving for recognition before the legislative committee, may, how
ever, succeed in showing up figures in a different light. The fact that the
Lake county Bar association is not behind Gary in its desires for a court
will be the hardest thing for Gary to explain away.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE the receipt of some volumious stuff headed
Tor Publication" from the Union Pacific Railroad company, which is
nounng more nor less man advertising matter ior tne railroad. We regret to think that the U. P. company believes newspapers so easy that it
can gull them into printing about forty-five dollars worth of advertising for nothing. We thank the Union Pacific Railroad company for the foxy
stuff but the office boy must have thrown it into the waste basket for we can't find it anywhere. A CORNELL PROFESSOR claims that at the present decrease in the birth rate, chlldern will be extinct in one hundred and fifty years. If so there will probably be something just as good to take their places. Maybe a bunch of Cornell and Chicago university professors, in their second or third childhood, would answer. Funny, what conniption fits attack college professors now and anon, when everything else in the world is getting along so nicely. EX-SHERIFF FRED S. CARTER is pretty wise after all. In speaking of his being mentioned in. connection with the police chiefship -of Hammond, Mr. Carter said: "It has been many a long year since I worked for one hundred dollars a month."

TO THE LADY. OF THE HOUSE. You do not envy very much the wives of the very rich, do you? Or do you? Well, permit me to suggest that these women, as a rule, are the most dissatisfied, the most restless, the most unhappy, of any women in the world. They happy? How can they be when they depend upon the SHELLS rather than the KERNELS of Ufe? Great houses, Bumptuor.3 furnishings, costly gowns, jewels, automobiles these are shells, mere imitations of a happy state. You, madam, live in a cozy cettage. You do your housework, aided, It may be, by one domestic or none. You do the thousand and one chores of a busy wife and mother. You are not Idle; neither are you a mere drudge. Consider the ways and means you have for happiness the rich woman does not have. For Instance, when the rich woman gets a new gown it brings her no special thrill of pleasure. All her life she has had expensive garments. She feels no more joy than does a well dressed wooden doll. '
But YOU, madam your new gown or
cloak that you bought out of your sav
ings or from the slender purse of a good husband what a triumph of man
agement! Yours is the pleasure of dif
ficult accomplishment The garment
stands for something EARNED. The JOY OF EARNING comes not to the
rich.
And so of the overcoat for husband
or the new suit for the boy, the hat for the girl. Trifles? To the rich, yes;
to you, epochs of the family life occasions cf satisfaction, treasures to be
thankful for.
You see, madam-
There is a profusion that becomes
commonplace, and there is a scarcity
that makes for variety and content
ment
Now, starting with this matter of
clothes, you can figure out a thousand
sources of happiness the rich man's
wife cannot know.
Home to her is not much more than
a hotel, a place of transient lodging, a
point of departure. Her husband is
merely the man who signs big checks
for the bills. Her children, if there be
any, are creatures to be turned over to
the tender mercies of nurse and tutor.
Idle, but worn with dissipation; free,
but satiated with useless luxury why.
these women are rather to be pitied
than envied!
Once in awhile a rich woman dis
cards the shell and finds the kernel
employment worthy of an immortal
soul and in these labors finds her
happiness. But
There are few such.
terms as president of the Syracus
Trade assembly and during that time he
increased the number of unions repre
sented in the assembly from eighteen
to forty-five. He held several political
offices in Syracuse and in 1889 he was
elected first vice president of the In
ternational Typographical union. Since 1900 he has been president of the union
and during his administration of af
fairs the organization has continued to
grow and prosper until today it Is rec
ognlzed as one of the strongest labor
organizations in America, both nu
merically and financially.

ing tried at South Bend, charged with embezzlement of more than $7,000 from the Vandalia Railroad company was last Saturday evening adjourned until Monday. So far the defense has not
been called on to produce any witnesses, all of the points having been
brought out through cross-examina
tion.
INVITE TEDDY TO INDIANA.
Many public-spirited citizens in
southern Indiana, especially in the
counties of Warrick and Spencer, where Abraham Lincoln grew from boyhood to manhood, have under con
sideration the sending of an invitation to President Roosevelt to come to
Lincoln City Immediately following his
visit to the centennial exercises at the Lincoln birthplace In Kentucky.
BLAKELY HIRES DEPUTIES. William E. Blakely, chief of the de

names has been circulated by the democrats of Muncie, and will be presented later to governor-elect Marshall, ask
ing him to remove from the board of police commissioners the Rev. W. II. Allen, who was appointed this week by Governor Hanly. The democrats will
represent that Mr. Allen is avowedly a prohibitionist ,and that he worked for the success of the republican state
ticket at the last eleclon.

jury bribing by the Jury which heard
the evidence offered before special Judge Drummon in the Laporte circuit
court, and which came into court last night at 10:30 o'clock, after having been out four hours. The defendant showed little concern. TO DRY UP COUNTY.
The circulation of a petition in Crawfordsville asking that the board of county commissioners call a special election under the county local option law was begun in Crawfordsville and Montgomery county today. Representatives of the recently organized Citizens' league from Montgomery county are circulating the petition. CANNERS FEEL GOOD. The Indiana canners who met in Indianapolis Thursday to establish standards for packing, went home in an unusually good frame of mind. Not only were they successful in agreeing on standards for packing tomatoes and corn, but their plants and methods of packing received the approval of H. E. Barnard, Indiana food and drug commissioner. WOLVES KILL SHEEP. James Helms, a farmer near Elkinsvllle, was In town and reported that wolves were again seen in his neighborhood and were killing sheep, robbing chicken coops and keeping people of the community in fear of being attacked. He says that near his home, across the bottom about a mile, is a dense forest, and early yesterday morning he heard the howls of the wolves.
