SENATOR BEVE RIDGE'S CONSISTENCY. Senator A. J. Beveridge has disappointed about a score of democratic papers in Indiana. Perhaps more than that number outside of the state, butfor-them we care naught. He has treated the democratic press very badly, because they freely

predicted that even though he lead the insurgents that at the last minute.

he would vote for the adoption of the conference report. He did not do so. Hence the bitter disappointment. No longer can the democrats call Senator Beveridge inconsistent. He fought the tariff schedules as proposed incessantly and he kept it up to the last. Indiana Is proud of Senator Beveridge. The democrats will now of , course, proceed to read him out of the party, because President Taft signed the tariff bill thai he fought. Senator Beveridge could not do anything else than what h did do. His constituents demanded tariff revision downward. President Taft could do nothing else but what he did. He fought along the same lines that Senator Beveridge did, but he had to take what he could get for the sake of the prosperity of the country. The tariff question had to be settled for the Industrial peace of the nation. On scores of commodities President Taft secured from the conference committee revision downward. Because Senator Beveridge could not vote for a report which resulted in a bill signed by the president, is no proof that he is at outs with Mr. Taft and the republican party. He is stronger than ever with the republican party and President Taft. There is no question about that. He is a bigger republican than ever he was and when he is a candidate for senator next year from Indiana, his candidacy will meet wirh a yell and a whoop of approval.

A SUPPRESSION OF VICE. A moral wave is passing over Lake county and vice of every kind has been hit a severe blow. About every so often the hell-haunted spots are raided and closed and then the enthusiasm subsides and things are as usual. Whether the report that Governor Marshall sent a warning to the officials . of Lake county or not it matters little but from some cause great activity has been manifested In some localities. We believe the responsibility for the maintenance of places of vice rests as fully with the people as with the officers of the law, whose duty it is to execute when their attention has been directed. The, crusade on places of vice and resorts of questionable character at Gary struck full force last Sunday when the town trustees took radical step towards nailing down the lid. The orders went out that all saloons running without a license, all houses of bad repute and all gambling resorts must be closed and stay closed. Scarlet women were given orders to leave town forthwith, beer wagons were stopped upon the streets and a general "cleaning up" was inaugurated. The closing of the lid will also include the strict enforcement of the Sunday law and it is predicted that next Sunday it will be Impossible to get a cigar or a drink of soda in the new steel city. Gary is to be "good" for a while at least. Hobart Gazette.

GOOD NEWS FOR HAMMOND. That the Hammond Distilling company will in the short course of time, he able to turn its valuable liquid product into a solid cattle food, is a matter of rejoicing to the people of the city for many reasons. One of the chief reasons is that the Hammond Distillery long recognized as one of the city's most important industries, will be able to do away with cattle feeding without any loss to the company. The product which it has been feeding to cattle here is a most valuable one and had the company been forced to do. away the, disposal of that product, it would have resulted in a loss which might have driven the plant from Hammond. Gen. Mgr. Fitzgerald has been searching for four years for a way to convert the liquid food into a solid. product. That he has been able to do so, is a matter of congratulation for out of the process will come another new industry for Hammond.

THE SPANISH KINGDOM DOOMED. Another blase and effete monarchy is crumbling and proud Spain, but a memory of the time when the great Armada was sent to wipe the seas clean of England, is nearing the end of its decay. If it does not come this year. It will come sooner or later. The kingdom is doomed and out of its ashes' will arise a republic where the people will rule. For Spain's sake, let it be hastened. No revolution amounted to anything when it was bloodless. Out of the shedding of blood will be born a new country, a new people, a new link in the great International chain of brotherly nations.

THE POLICE OF Gary began cleaning house early Monday morning, and at noon all saloons were closed and the women kept in resorts had taken to the woods by orders from the police, who gave them a stated time in which to get outside the city limits. That shows what can be done in the way of renovating if the law officers feel so disposed. By evening it is said a great amount of foul air in the "patch" had blown away, and the good people there were drawing breaths of relief from a burden that had been forced on them and was giving the city a black eye. Crown Point Star.

We PREDICT that in six months, If the latch-key is shut-in what once was the "Patch" at Gary, the real estate values there will take a jump that will surprise realty owners. If similar situations that have obtained in purged vice districts in Chicago are any criterion as well as in other cities this will certainly be true In Gary. Property owners there may suffer temporarily, but it won't be for long.

A "GREAT" CRITIC says, "The Bible is not up to date." We feel like commiserating him. Probably he would like to run a few serials in it or stick a few scientific dissertations of speculative rot amid its pages The chances are that the Bible will be here after the g. e. is dust on some quiet graveyard.

IF YOUR BOY can't swim, it is your duty this fine weather to take him out to Lake Michigan and teach him. Let him learn to swim and have the time of his life. The same applies to your girl. It may come in handy : . THE BEST THING now for Cedar Lake to do. would be to put in a nice motherly sea serpent about 25 feet long, one that is guaranteed to be perfectly harmless, but one which will draw great "dry" crowds.

GUILTY PARENTS. "In seven cases out of ten where a child is punished by a parent for a fault, the parent should be punished instead of the child." So declares an eminent authority. The statement may be somewhat overdrawn for the sake of emphasis, but there is much truth in It Seldom does the parent in punishing the child stop to consider whether the child is inherently naughty or whether it has done something that might have been prevented by a little care or foresight on the part of the parent. For instance Much misbehavior on the part of the child is the natural result of its lack of occupation. The child, like nature, abhors a vacuum. The boy or girl bursting with vitality simply cannot endure a state of idleness. There must be something doing. It is useless to command a growing child after the manner of some "Keep your feet still." "Don't fidget so much." "Don't make so much noise." A normal child cannot keep still. It must fidget if there is nothing else to do. It must make a noise. Its vitality boilers must have a safety valve. Its cup is full of life; if more is poured in the cup must run over. Now If you, the child's parent, do not provide work or play or something to occupy its mind and body, the outcome will be restlessness, fidgets, noise and, if opportunity is afforded, mischief or wrongdoing. The trouble with most of us as parents is that we forget what we were once like; we cannot put ourselves in the child's place. It is easy for us to sit still for a length of time. We have our reminiscences. But the child has no past history to speak of. It is governed by impulses. Besides We have learned how to exercise the power of the mind over the body. Years of self-control have disciplined the body to the service of the mind. The child has not this power. If anything, its body Is stronger than its mind. The physical dominates the intellectual and the result is: Caprices. Of course, it is not always an easy task to provide occupation for a child, but it pays. Either the parent or tbe child must direct If the parent neglects to do 60, the child will choose for Itself, and to its peril. Do not punish your child for doing something that you might have prevented had you done your duty.
