ABOUT TAKING NEWSPAPERS. We believe that every citizen of a city or town ought to subscribe for and take all the newspapers printed in that town or city. No place ever amounted to shucks, without a good live newspaper. Live newspapers are the bulwark of any progressive city and the citizen who doesn't do all he can for the welfare of his city, certinly doesn't amount to much. A good newspaper is In a great degree a public institution and is entitled to the support of the people. If it fights their battles, it is deserving of recognition. It has to live. It needs financial support and it must get it from the business men and citizens. So the people ought to support their newspapers. If you can, take all the papers printed in your city, but if you can't take the one that you think Is doing the best for the place in which you live. Take the one that Is fighting for the right, for good government, for the up-build and the jip-llft, the paper that gives you the news, not only of the city in which you dwell, but the cities near where you dwell. If you traded at a grocery store, you wouldn't patronize the concern that sold nothing but sugar and butter. You would be more apt to trade at the market where you could get the variety for your money. If you couldn't patronize all of them you would patronize the best, wouldn't you?

THEY WILL GO IN NOVEMBER. It Is not necessary for the people of Gary to bo alarmed over the situa
tion In the city, as It relates to the vicious resorts. It is true that the crime carnival which has existed for some time, is a hurt and detriment to the city. It is true that a number of people have refused to buy real estate in the city because of the disreputable characters who flaunt their habitations in the eye3 of respectable people, but it is only a question of time until they are all disposed of. Gary is too big to tolerate them. They must go in the long run. It won't be long until a new city administration is elected and they will be ousted. The present city officials are countenancing these resorts. There is no dispute about that. The resorts themselves are prima facie evidence of that fact. All the people of Gary need to do is to bide in patience. The resort3 will be banished next November.

MANUFACTURERS OF VICE. Many communities spend large sums every year for the capture and punishment of criminals, while at the same time they encourage criminals by allowing vice and the feeders of vice to flourish unmolested. That this Is true is evident to all who have seen some of the vicious and Indecent attractions which abound in many amusement parks and pleasure resorts. These exhibitions are witnessed by thousands of children who soon lose their Innocence and have their lower passions aroused as they see Indecent pictures and posturing and hear the coarse and suggestive utterance of the performers. The policy that allows such things to go on is a poor one financially when results are considered, for the comparatively small amounts received for licenses are but a drop compared with the vast expenditure for police and other purposes, and from the moral nd social standpoint the policy ehould be unreservedly condemned.

A stranger boarded It and after being seated a moment sprang up and pulled the fare register cord repeatedly. After ringing up twenty or more fares he Jumped off the car. Pierce called to him to stop and fired a revolver at him. TWO CHOIR HOYS DROWN. The first drownings of the season occurred in Michigan City yesterday afternoon when Harold Banks, 13, and George Staiger, 10, members of the Trinity Cathedral choir, lost their lives in Lake Michigan. Staiger's body was recovered. Ten choir boys were in bathing under supervision of Dean F. E. Altkins, when Staiger ana Banks were swept out by an undertow. ANOTHER VICTIM DIES. The second victim in South Bend of
the 4th of July celebration, Lawrence C. Zerwinski, 12 years old, died today of tetanus resulting from a blank cartridge. DEFAULTER AVEEPS BITTERLY. With all the vainglory of the spendthrift's life wiped away, J. Howard Phillips, the 22-year-old defaulter of the Terre Haute National bank, broke down at the Jail when relatives visited him today and wept bitterly. The magnitude of his crime and the prospect of a prison sentence seemed to dawn on him all at once, and he was unable to control his emotions. ANTI-PASS LAW VIOLATED. The first violation of Indiana's antipass law of 1907 to get legal attention in southern Indiana is alleged in a suit brought in the Vanderburg circuit court at Evansville today by the Indiana Railroad commission against the Evansville, Suburban & Newburg Railway, which is said to have issued free transportation to William J. Becker, a contractor, In consideration of his agreement to use that company's lines exclusively in shipping carloads of sand to Boonville.
THE EDITOR'S COMPENSATION.
The man who edits the average country newspaper cannot well avoid treading on somebody's toes continually, says the Arcanum (Ohio) Times. He must expect to be censured often for unintentional failures; must expect hard wark and little thanks; must expect to be called a coward because he does not "pitch into" everything that somebody thinks is wrong and a fool if he speaks out too plainly on public evils. He must expect to grind other people's axes and turn the grindstone himself. Still, we think it is one of the noblest professions on earth, the one in which the earnest man can do the most good to his fellow man and in which an honorable man can wield much power for good.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY IN THIS. Much editorial perspicacity is shown in the following comment on the Gingles case from the Jasper County Democrat: "Perhaps her own attorneys did not believe the cock-and-bull etcry told by this girlin fact no one of ordinary intelligence could. If a lot of Chicago idiots had not raised considerable money for her defense it Is scarcely likely that Pat O'Donnell, a Delphi product who went to Chicago some years ago and was later arrested on the charge of jury bribing in the Windy City, would have worked so zealously for the girl. Her story was silly and unreasonable from the beginning, and it has been so thoroughly refuted by irreproachable witnesses that not a shred of it remains. The girl has not been so much to blame as O'Donnell.
THE ISSUANCE of building permits in Gary lately, show a gratifying increase in the number of smaller houses and cottages that are being and about to be built. These permits call for an expenditure of from $1,000 to $2,000. They are the kind of houses that will ultimately make Gary a city of homes as well as a city of industry. The wage-earner's home is to him as much his mansion as the millionaires. By all means build more homes and more homes.

Juan vincente Gomel, president of
Venezuela, was born July 24, 1859. In his youth he devoted himself chiefly to agricultural pursuits, first in Venezue

FEAR HAS been expressed by a New York minister, that "we are in danger of losing the bible." The dominie should not get unduly excited, this hot weather. If they lose the bible in New York, there are plenty in Lake County that are kept in safe places. Indeed their owners are keeping them so safe, that they are afraid to take them out and read them.
IT IS DOUBTFUL that a vigilant search of the Lake County cities, would result in finding a busier policeman than Officer Gas Newman of Gary. Who seems to be mixed up in the limelight for being a policeman nearly every day n the week. Gus is a policeman of the Kooseveltian type. He has to be doing something or feel that life isn't really worth living.
SOME TIME AGO we had occasion to comment on the cowardly action of Cornelius Shea, who stabbed a woman for whom he deserted his wife and wounded her 27 times. Shea Is well known in Hammond and no sympathy for him is expressed, when it is learned that he has been found guilty and sentenced to prison in punishment.
A HIGHLY INDIGNANT citizen writes to the editor of this paper, advocating "the' muzzling of policemen" who are shooting the day-light out of dogs unmuzzled. Just what good a muzzled policeman would be, ve are self-confessedly too dense to see, the h. i. c. aforesaid not diagraming his little Joke.

This Week's News Forecast
Washington, D. C, July 24. The windup of the extra session of con
gress and the departure of Its members for their homes or vacation retreats will give to the national capital the proverbial dullness that Is said to characterize ditch water. Nearly all of the high ofncals of the government from the president and his cabinet officers down to the heads and sub-heads of the
various departments will be away from town. The president plans to spend the week quietly with his family at Beverly Wednesday he will take an automobile trip to Boston to attend an Informal luncheon of Yale graduates.
Interest will be added to the extra session of the Alabama legislature, which is to meet Tuesday to discuss needed State legislation, by the fact that it will probably take up for ratification the proposed amendment to the Constitution and be the first to Indorse or reject the proposition of an income tax. Republicans of Virginia will meet In convention in Newport News Wednesday to name candidates for governor and other officers to be voted for at the next State election. Unusual confidence on the part of the Republicans of the Old Dominion and the Interest which President Taft is reported to take in the situation there will attract more than ordinary attention to the convention. The case of Harry K. Thaw, will come Into the limelight again Monday, when the hearing to determine hi3 sanity will be resumed before Justice Mills at White Plains. Delegates representing all parts of the country will assemble Thursday at Atlantic City to discuss the general subject of employers' liability. The feature of the convention wll be the starting of some plan for uniformity of State laws bearing upon employers' liability and the prevention. If possivle, of legislative enactment by any State, n the furture, that might conflict with the laws of another State. - The foreign field promises to furnish an abundance of interesting and important news items during the week. The Miners' Confederation of Great Britain will determine definltiely whether or not there is to be a general strike of the local miners The situation is regarded as extremely critical. If a general strike is declared a million men will quit work and the result would be an almost complete paralyzatlon of British industry. The evacuation of the island of Crete by the International troops is fixed for Tuesday. The condition of affairs in the island is very unsettled and it is freely predicted that serious disturbances may follow the withdrawal of the troops. The meeting of President Fallieres of France and Emperor Nicholas of Russia, which is to take place in the Cherbourg roads at the end of the week, will be made the occasion fur a great naval review in which the ileets of both nations will take part. From Cherbourg the Emperor will cross over to Cowes for a brief visit to King Edward. Other events abroad that will attract more or less attention will be the opening of the imperial defense conference in London, the world's conference of the Young Men's Christian Association, to be held at Barmen Elberfeld Germany, and the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the founding of the University of Leipsie.
