HOW ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN?

It. is a pitiable . and shameful thing Is parental neglect It is sad when it. is unavoidable but it is unequivocally shocking when it is nothing but the result of neglect and laziness. During the past year many cases of' parental neglect, resulting in crime and depravity, have been brought to light in different cities of the Calumet region. There has been a lot of

it in Hammond, but the three cases brought to light in the Hammond city court yesterday have never been paralleled in this region. We wonder what the mothers of those young girls none of them over sixteen would have thought had they seen the jeering mob of loafers and boys who

laughed at their girls handcuffed together at the Erie depot yesterday.

None of the mothers appeared in the police court. But one of the fathers

was there to stand by their girls in their awful trouble. It wa3 one of the most pitiable cases of sheer abandoning little girls to their fate that

could be imagined. Charged with a shocking crime, freely confessing their evil deeds, bragging about their waywardness, declaring that there were scores of other girls guilty of worse offenses than that with which they

were charged, the three girls, nonchalent in crime and worldiness, went

to jail at Crown Point. They gave the police the names of other girls

who followed the same practices, who walked the streets nightly. One

of the girl's mother declares that she did not know that her girl was

walking the streets. These girls bring the number of young girls who hve .been gathered up by the police in the las year in Hammond up to

nine. Parents, are you looking after your girls? SECRET UNIFORM DIVORCE.

LABOR IS DISAPPOINTED. Launching Into a bitter tirade

against the democratic legislators, officials of the Indiana Federation of Labor struck a responsive chord among delegates at the convention of District No. 11, United Mine Workers of Ameri

ca, in Germania hall at Terre Haute today.

WOODMAN'S CONVENTION ENDS. The Indiana-Illinois convention of

the Woodmen of the World at Wash

ington came to a close yesterday af-

ernoon and many of the delegates left

the city on late trains. The session

yesterday was taken up with the hear

ing of reports of the various committees and on these several spirited

fights arose.

INJURED IN ACCIDENT. The motorman on a South Bend car f the Chicago, South Bend & Northern

Indiana system was injured, three pas-

engers had narrow escapes and the

car was badly damaged when struck early in the day by a cut of cars on the Lake Shore railroad at Chpin street crossing.

9TCONNELL NOW PRESIDENT. Dr. Francis J. McConnell, -was usher

ed into the president's chair of DePauw university at Greencastle shortly after noon yesterday before an audience of alumni, faculty, visitors and students that crowded Meharry hall. When Hugh Dougherty of Indianapo

lis delivered the keys of the college building into the hands of the new

president the enthusiasm of the spec

tators broke loose Into applause that

stopped only when the entire audi

ence arose to its feet

WABASH RIVER HIGH.

Late last evening the Wabash river

at East Mount Carmel reached a seventeen-foot stage and is still rising an Inch an hour. In the twelve hours preceding 6 o'clock last night White

river at Harleton had risen ten inches

and Is still rising at a rapid rate.

ORPHAN IS KILLED.

George King, aged 10 years and an

orphan, was run over and Instantly killed by Grand Trunk passenger

train No. 14, due in South Bend at 6

o'clock last evening. The accident occurred at Crumstown, about seven

miles west of South Bend.

PLAN TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL,

The Indianapolis city board of health

decided at a meeting yesterday after

noon to begin the erection of its sani-

The effort to obtain a uniform divorce law, rest largely on the ques

tion of publicity. The members of the .bar at large have never agreed

with the layman on the subject of wide open public divorce proceedings,

The people at large seeem to believe that the difference between two part

ies who have been privately married should be publicly aired. The Idea is that the state has an interest in the disputes of the individuals. Ju3t why this is so is perhaps difficult to understand. Two persons who have failed to agree should be permitted to submit their differences to the courts and after the decision has been rendered, then either one of the parties concerned should have the right to publish his or her troubles to the world. The public divorce has a bad effect upon society and it tends to frighten the' careful young man regarding modern married life. We are sadly in need of a uniform divorce law but are we any nearer to it than

we were ten years ago? IMPOSING ON GOOD NATURE.

One of the most remarkable things to a newspaper man is how to

account for the fact that people will deliberately and willfully misrepresent things and deliberately lie to a newspaper. The other day a Hammond

girl gave a party. It was to be supposed that she would tell the truth

about it. She stated that the party was given in honor of another young lady. The statements made by the hostess were printed and it developed subsequently that the young lady in whose honor the said party was given had not attended and by reason of the Lenten season did not attend any parties. It further developed that the two girls were at swords' points

with each other and that for spite work the hostess had carried out a

plan worthy of a feminine Mephistopheles. No consideration for the

newspaper was given. Nor was any attention paid to the fact that It

would be involved In wholesale trouble over the item. Every newspaper is

compelled to confr6nt such dilemmas as this not only once but many

times and that they become suspicious of the motives of some people is

hardly to be wondered at, but yet there are people who believe that a newspaper deliberately misrepresents. There is nothing that a newspaper man worthy of the name is more anxious to do and works harder to do

than to give facts and naught but facts. DUTIES AS WELL AS RIGHTS.

Those are strong words that Bishop Keane of Denver, Col., spoke the

otner cay wnen he said:

"I count labor unions, then, right in law and wise as an ecnnnmfc in

situation, but every individual and every combination has. with its riehts

its duties; and, if labor unions ever fail, they will break because of a dl

regard for the rights of others. The man who has a right to what I call

to a just wage is the man who gives honest labor, and anv tendpnov

labor unions to destroy efficiency or to disregard absolutely good will on

me part or tne laborer for the interests of the man who emnlovs him

wrong and dangerous. Labor unions should not, therefore, destroy com petition, even in labor, by denying efficiency extraordinary compensation

;o power on earth can equalize men: some have more brain than others

some have more brawn than others; some have greater ability than others There ought to be an adjustment which would enable every man to live

Dut that adjustment must be on equitable lines."

a large auditorium and a chapel. There wil be accommodations for 400 children who attend the parochial school and who have been housed in a smaller building up to this time. MANY BID ON CONTRACT. The scramble at the letting of gravel road contracts at the county commissioners' court at Anderson yesterday was the most exciting in the history of the road letting business in the county. There were eighteen roads to let, for which were 172 bids submitted by thirty-five bidders. SIX WOULD-BE MAYORS. Although it is practically assured there will be no primary until September for naming city candidates, there are already six mentioned for mayor of Wabash and there probably
