THE PIQUED SUBSCRIBER. Every once in a while an official gets sore because a newspaper criticises his conduct and forthwith stops the paper under the apparent impression that he is retaliating by crippling the income of the publisher. It may be a mistake of the publisher in thinking he has been done a favor, says the Jennings (La.) Herald, but as a rule whenever a newspaper loses one sub
scriber on account of pique there are usually two or three others gained for
the very reason that the one feels aggrieved. The experience of the editor of this paper is such that he considers it a lucky omen to have a subscriber
walk In and order his paper stopped because something it contained did not suit him. He is convinced that he has said something, and, whether or not he is always right, the broad-minded and intelligent subscriber will recognize the fact that it is only the negative quality in life that never crosses the feelings of anybody.
WOULD MAKE CRUMPACKER STRONG. Friends of Congressman E. D. Crumpacker, in the Tenth District, would be sorry to have him lose his position on the House Census Committee at the hands of old man Cannon of Illinois, because Judge Crumpacker has not been Cannon's idea of a "standpat" protectionist. It will be an insult to Mr. Crumpacker, to deprive him of this committeeship simply because he tried to revise the tariff downward and carry out the election promises he made to his constituency. If Cannon takes this honor from Mr. Crumpacker, however, it will not hurt the latter in the least. It will make him stronger with his constituency in Indiana. It is not too early to ay that Judge Crumpacker in the event of losing the Census chairmanship, would be a formidable candidate for speaker in the next House. Cannon will do well to be careful how he handles Mr. Crumpacker.
WHAT IS NEEDED AT CEDAR LAKE. Cedar Lake continues to be "played up" by the Chicago newspapers as a
resort where the conditions of morality are very lax. This is what has hurt Cedar Lake to a great extent. There isn't a prettier lake in the state and one of more charm. Because of that very thing, it suffers. Chicago men who have about as much principle as an Apache, have opened up places there that are extremely unsavory with the result that denizens of the underworld flock thither to make not only "night hideous" but the day. These resorts are of course in the minority, but a little speck of rottenness will destroy the whole apple, hence the respectable hotels of which there are many, suffer in consequence. There is only one way to stop these lawbreaking resorts and that Is to relieve them of their licenses for selling liquor.
Copyright, 1309, by American Press Association. BIG HATS. At last! Unprotected man has found a friend. A bill has gone Into the Illinois legislature limiting the diameter of women's hats.
By this bill the size of millinery ! headgear Is limited to not more than eighteen inches across from brim to brim, and the said millinery shall not weigh to exceed five ounces. "Whereat the Innocent bystander rejoices. Seriously, however The big feminine hat is a real danger. It Is insanitary, and it is a menace to the health of women wearers. It is productive of nervous ills, and what is of particular Interest to womenIt causes a loss of facial beauty. Think of it! Some of these hats are as much as sixty or seventy inches In circumference and with the heavy trimmings and ornaments weigh as much as seven or eight pounds, to which must be added great bunches of "rats" and rolls of wire and hair that weigh two or three pounds. Now! The nerves at the base of the brain are under a tremendous strain to carry such a burden, and the veins that carry blood to the head become congested. Result?
Loss of blood nourishment to head
and face, interruption of blood flow; therefore face flushings, therefore headaches. But worse and more of it Red noses! Ruined hair! Wrinkles! Of course women will suffer mucfc martyrdom for the sake of Dame Fashion, but when they discover that certain fads are not only a menace to health, but especially a menace to facial beauty, why, that is different. Several medical societies have recently pointed out the danger that comes from the wearing of the huge hats of the period. If women would give a little study to the origin of the big hat it might deter them some. The big hat fad was originated by Lillian Daissalnt, a notorious woman of Paris. It is worn there only by women of her class and never by the respectable women of the city. The big hat in Faris is one of the badges by
which the demimondalne advertises herself.
There are many women who will not
po to the extreme length or width of
Jhe current millinery fad. Others prefer to be out of the world rather than
out of fashion.

TROUBLES OF HER OWN. We shall not take it at all kindly if the Chicago editors criticize the Gary city administration in view of the vice revelations that have been made. The unparalleled graft scandal which is being unearthed now in Chicago should put on the muffler, as far as Gary i3 concerned. Chicago has troubles enough of her own without throwing any stones at Gary. Of course for a small town, Gary is doing pretty well, but we cannot stand for any criticism from Chicago. It has a bad taste and an unpleasant sound.

HE DESERVES COMMENDATION. Judge W. W. McMahon of the Hammond city court, is to be commended for the punishment of a young man in his court for abusing a horse. If there is an crime more reprehensible or deserving of summary punishment, than another, it is the abuse of a dumb animal. There are a number of horses in Hammond whose owners so far have escaped punishment for their ill-treatment of the horses. For the sake of the horses, we hope these owners will soon-have to meet JudgoMcMahon face to face.
ANENT THE RAT. It is too-bad. After making a hard fight on that unspeakable device worn by some women known, as a rat, we find that there is some good in them. A Philadelphia woman's life was saved last week, because she wore a rat. As it was her skull was cracked, but the doctors are very confident they will save her life and simply because she wore a "rat." Wonder if there ever was another good word spoken for these abominations.
A BIG AFFAIR ON ITS WAY.
Lake County is to have the biggest fair in its history thia year, and the
promoters of the popular Lake County three day attraction, are going at It
in the right way. They are early in the field with their advertising evidently
with a realization of the fact that the early advertising worm gets the worm.
It Is not to early for those who have exhibits to get them in shape to make
the affair the grandest ever held.

a dog chases its own tail and with just as much sense. Like the fool dog,

THE GARY MAN who with a poor sense of a practical joke, started a

London, July 27. Extraordinary efforts are being made to suppress all
public knowledge of the marriage tomorrow of Miss Violet Cruger to John Rodman Wanamaker Miss Cruger is stopping with her mother at the Hyde Park hotel. Wanamaker instructed the servants at the Carlton hotel, where
he went on his arrival here, to inform all callers that he had gone to Scotland. The American embassy, through which an application was made for a special marriage license, informs inquirers that all information is to be refused by Ambassador Reid's instructions. The church authorities take the same
attitude, and the mystery connected with these maneuvers has not yet been
explained. The present arrangement Is that the marriage is to taice place at St. Margaret's church, Westminister, at 11:45 o'clock tomorrow morning

"When man fed on raw food this w as not necessary, the food Itself and the copious flow of saliva.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
The greatest unused source of power in the Unite! States is the American child. If some of the societies and "organizations that are fighting for good would look to the American children for help instead of to the politicians and business men, or even the ministers, they mierht he better off. For however good their intentions, politicians and ministers and business men have usually twice as many things to do as they have time or energy with which to do them, whilo children are apt to reverse the proportion. In a town not far from where I live an equipment for the gymnasium for the lower grades was badly needed. An appropriation was out of the question The school board at first planned to solicit th money themselves. Then a bright nvmher suggested that they utilize the tremendous force they had at hand. They got the children interested. They put the responsibility upon their shoulders, which promptly straightened up to bear it. They turned them loose with the instructions to get a dime from every member of the community Maybe some one escaped the fine-tooth combing of that canvass, but I haven't heard of any one yet. And the gymnasium was equipped, which was a gorl thing; and the children felt the pride of having done it which was even hetter When a man harnessed Niagara, it was a great thing for the man, but It didn't add anything to Niagara, whereas the splendidest thing about utilizing the force of a child's energy is that It's just as good for the force as It is for you Nothing develops a child like feeling himself of use. When the men and women of a town get the children to join them In some worthy undertaking, they are not only utilizing an immense force for good, but they are also diverting .n equally immense force from mischief, and thereby doubly benefiting the community. And stili the wonder grows that they don't do it oftencr.
