A NEWSPAPER WITH A FINE (?) SENSE OF VERACITY. No one with any sense of moral rectitude will attempt either excuse or justification for the conditions which are said to exist at Cedar Lake. That they are no worse today than they have ever been does not warrant any mitigation in dealing with them. We have no wish to help a lame dog over a stile. Yet the clap trap and lies told about the Indiana lake by the Chicago Daily News supposedly a newspaper that has SOME regard for truth, cannot be passed' by unnoticed. Never in the yellowest days of any sensationally yellow newspaper, have more lies been concocted and crowded into stories than have appeared in the Chicago Daily News on Saturday and Monday, dealing with Cedar Lake. Either the addled reporter who trumped up the cock and bull stories has been choused and bilked or else he is a plain every day liar, whose specialty is peddling mare's nests, false as dicer's oaths. When Lake County people want a Chicago paper that tells the truth, they had better buy some other sheet than the Dally News if other stuff it prints can be Judged by the things that are not, which it has printed about Cedar Lake. It is only necessary to mention a few of the statements made in the Daily News story to show how little credence can be put in any of it. These are, "that the body of a well-to-do-farmer who had been murdered and robbed of $600 was found in the lake this spring; that a Chicago man was sent to penitentiary at Michigan City for eight years a short time ago for pulling a revolver; that the auto road to Cedar Lake has a record of death, mystery and violence'."

Now there was no farmer's body nor ANY OTHER BODY FOUND IN THE LAKE THIS SPRING; no Chicago man was sent to the Michigan City penitentiary for eight years NOR FOR ANY OTHER TERM OF YEARS; no deaths, deeds of violence or mystery of any kind HAVE OCCURRED ' ON THE SO-CALLED AUTO ROAD. There are a score of other statements in the viciously untrue stories that are absolutely false as Lake County people will know. That the stories were hashed up only with malicious intent to injure the little Indiana watering place is quite palpable. One absolutely ridiculous statement made by the Chicago Daily News is that "INDIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE STAMPING GROUND FOR WHAT CHICAGO REFUSES TO TOLERATE." The Illinois villages near the Indiana line are the scenes of prize-fights, dog-fights, cock-fights and the most vicious and degenerate carouses and Indiana- gets blamed for them all by such mendacious papers aa the Chicago Daily News. "Tolerate?" Ye, gods! Is there any kind of wickedness ever brewed in hell-broth that the modern Sodom and Gomorrah otherwise yclept Chicago won't and doesn't tolerate? If there is, the law wouldn't permit a newspaper to describe it.

ciation. ADJUSTMENT. One of the secrets of successful liv

ing is the art of adjusting oneself to

changed conditions.

Make up your mind once for all that the world will not adapt itself to you;

you must aaapt yourself to the world. Cultivate adaptability. In nature everything fits adjusts itself to surroundings. Animal, plant

star, universe each must fit itself to

environment.

Man alone tries to fight natural law

and fails. The North American Indians defied

this law. They would not conform to

tbelr surroundings. As a consequence the Indians are a disappearing race. Mound builders,, cliff dwellers, foresters, plains people all disappeared or are disappearing. Also New England tried to raise Indian ?orn on its rocky soil and failed. Semiarid western Kansas made a like experiment and failed. When western Kansas finally adjusted Itself and began to raise wheat she began to feed the world. It was so In "dry farming." When the pioneers of eastern Colorado, Wyoming, eastern Oregon and Idaho failed in their early experiments it was because they did not know how to conserve the scanty rainfall by proper culture. By adapting and adJusting methods they have made the desert to blossom as the rose. It is all a matter of adjustment finding what you can do and doing it. This Is particularly true of men. Grant failed in business, but won deathless fame in war. Goldsmith "wTotd like an angel and talked like poor Toll." The round man gets into the square hole, and vice versa, because of in ability to adapt himself. ; Unadjusted life Is a failure because it Is a misfit.

Adaptability to circumstances marks successful men. They do not try to! alter the unalterable. They realize

how small they are and how big is the universe. They see they must Join the logical procession of affairs if they are to get anywhere. You can only develop yourself as you subscribe to things as they are. He is th fortunate man who can be at the right place and say the right word and do the right thing at the right time. Adjustment of his life to surroundings is the secret of that ability.

lo man can get on in this world if

he Is a misfit.

NEGROES REFUSE TO DIE. A colored women astounded those around her Sunday by coming to life when she was supposed to be decently and fullydead; at the same time, at the City Hospital in Indianapolis, a colored man refused to die when the attending physicians had put It up to him and had demanded his anti-mortem statement. NEEDED BIGGER DEPOT. The urgent need of more extensive facilities at the Union Station was demonstrated last night to the sorrow of nearly 100 excursionists, who were left behind by a. train to Cincinnati and had to be sent home at a later hour. The largest crowd of the summer had made the train shed Impassable the entire length, from one baggage room to the other, and the excursionists were left behind only for the reason that they could not fight their way through the crowd. WHITTAKER IS BETTER. W. H. Whittaker, former superintendent of the Indiana Reformatory, was In

an Improved condition at the Norways, private sanitarium of Dr. Albert E. Sterne, last night. He seems to be gaining strength rapidly and physicians and relatives feel very much encourged. Mr. Whittaker is perfectly conscious now and almost out of danger. Hl'GHES HONORS REQUISITION. Demon Edwards, a paroled prisoner from the Indiana Reformatory who

violated his parole and escaped to the

state of New York, will be brought back

to Jeffersonville on a requisition from Governor Marshall. The requisition was asked for by the authorities of the Reformatory and was promptly honored

by Governor Hughes, who, a few months

RINAWAY INJURES TWO. Mrs. Ada M. Shippey and Miss Blanche

Seigmund of Laporte, were serlouslv if

not fatally injured Sunday afternoon in a runaway. The team which they were driving took fright at an automobile, and the women were thrown 'from the buggy against a tree. THRESHERS ARE SCARCE. Considerable fear is being occasioned by the farmers of Daviess county that they will be unable to save their wheat crop, now that threshing is upon them, through the scarcity of machine crews, and especially is this true among the large land owners who do not belong to the Farmers' Educational and Co-Oper-ative Union. MIDGETS TO GO ON STAGE. Following a retirement of three years from the stage, Ft. Wayne's world-famous midgets, "Commodore Foote" and

"Sister Queenie," whose real names are Charles W. and Eliza Nestel, may again go on the road. The "Commodore" will be 61 years old and his sister 51 in a few months. For nearly a half century they were on the stage almost without intermission.

RAISED $1S CHECK. Charles Wines of Logansporte, was arrested at the home of his father here today on a charge of check-raising filed against him at Flint, Mich. It is alleged the young man received a check for $15 for his wages, raised it to $150 and cashed it. MANY GO TO MICHIGAN CITY. Michigan City entertained today 8,000 visitors who came by boats and steam and electric roada, and many found the lid tilted in places, it is said and several spots were found to be quite "wet." RUSSIAN NOBLE DEAD.

Lnaries Krcysinsky, a Prussian by birth and decended from the lesser nobility of that country, is dead.

THE WAY TO GO SWIMMING. The Calumet region has not had a drowning for nearly two weeks. This shows that the people who are going in the water axe exercising some caution Perhaps the fatal lessons that have been taught In the seven drownings which have taken place have had their effect. Perhaps the warnings that have been printed In this as well as in other papers have helped to make bathers and swimmers more cautious. At any rate the credit is enough to go around. It will not do to get lax. It is too much to expect, perhaps, that the region will go through the summer without any more drownings, but if due care is exercised the danger of death by drowning will be mitigated Water In lake and river is mighty tempting, but be careful. You won't look at all nice, coming home full of water and a coroner standing by you with a long face. Tb old nursery rhyme comes back to us all very vividly: "Oh mother, may I go out to swim?" "Why yesj my darling daughter, J ust hang your duds on the hickory tree But don't go near the water."

A DISGRACE FOR GARY. ,o wonder how long the decent people of Gary expect to put up with the foul holes responsible for such occurrences as those which took place in the Steel City on Sunday? The spectacle of two nude negro women running in and out of a vicious resort fighting and rolling on one of its principal streets, before scores of spectators, many of them young and innocent children is certainly a scene the very fact of whose occurrence ought to bring , I me t0 eVen th9 mst harded. That the police finally ar rested the creatures Is no credit to the officers. They should never have been Ho f d h6lter a Gary rf- K iS a WOnder that a wBtle asnt blown to apprise them of the fact that the police were coming How much crime and viciousness the present city administration is responsible for can probably never be enumerated, but it is to Gary's shame that such shocking and depraving sights as these are possible on one of its principal thoroughfares.

AN9THER DIRE MONON WRECK. That Monon wreck near Crawfordsville was a terrible thing. Besides resulting in loss of life, nearly a score were Injured. This in itself was dreadful enough, but James Elmore, the sweet swan of Alamo, lives not far from the scene of the wreck and when they carry the news to James, there Is little question but what he will write another poem about it, and this will only add to the horror of the thing. James wrote one poem about a Monon wreck and it is safe to say that few people who read It ever recovered fully from the disastrous effects. James recited the poem in Hammond not many years ago and there are those who say that the panic which struck the city would never have been felt in Hammond had the Alamo bard never got off the train that brought him to the city

Now Consider The Horse

he endures at

With the arrival of the hot months it would be well to consider the horse, man's most faithful friend and most patient servant The automobile is coming to free him, but the emancipation is not vet The inhuman treatment of these animals, common everywhere, and especially acute in summer, will cease when men no longer have use for the horse when kind invention has substituted tame lightning for his power. Drivers and owners of horses should remember that these creatures are subject to the same sense of physical suffering as are men. Thev never complain and they work for their food. When the horse is born into the whirring world he has before him a long road, marked unceasing toil. He is valued for the labor there is in his muscles the strength in his sinews, the power in hisc hest and he will have to work till one day he lies down and dies.

Have you ever thought of the situation of a horse or what

the hands of men?

The manager of a big laundry concern told us he no longer tried to purchase good horses, because the drivers would mistreat them and make "plugs' of them, anyway. That is a terrible lndictmert. We know of a case where a man starved the team he was driving and sold the feed for a couple of drinks. We know of a case whero a man worked all day. fed them and thn

rented them out to work all night, and kept it up till the horses were skeletons.

Think it over. Are you humane in the treatment of the animals you drive? Do you use a whip because you have it handy? Are you one of the unthinking who Ftart a horse with a blow in;te.i rf

using your voice?

Do you overload, and when you strike a hill flog the team till in snortir

and writhing desperation, half mad from fear, they pull the load to the point you desire?

Do you allow a horse to stand on the sunny side of the street? Do vou

stand there on hot days?

Do you allow a horse to stand for hours with a feed bag on his nose on a

breathless day? Tie a cloth over your face and see how It feels'

Do you ever give your horse a cool bath in summer? You know how

good it feels when you bathe!

The patient horse takes what he gets, the beatings and starvings. He is

entirely dependent on your sense of decency, your kindness of heart vonr

fair treatment.

The best drivers in the world toil you that every ounce of energy a horso

is capable of can be got out of him without the use of a whip. He's so willing

that he will work for you to the death at the sound of vour voir.

If you worked for your hoard, you would ask to he fed regularly to be

given enough water, to be granted reasonable hours of rest, to have sickness respected and prompt attention given you.
