ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF "DEPRECIATION."
We nave found it hard to understand a part of the sentiment of some people with regard to the recent crusade in Gary, -whereby vice has been driven apparently from its fastnesses In the levee district. The TIMES has
insisted mat tne proximity or vice depreciates the value of property. There were some real estate men who declared that they were being ruined by
tne iact tnat disreputable places were ousted from the "Patch." A Chicago
paper say3 today: The first evidence of depreciation in the value of real estate on the North Side, caused by the proximity of Police Inspector Healy's recently established segregated "red light" district, was presented yesterday when a large number of reductions in realty assessments on property in that part of the city were sought from the board of review. On various representations of depreciation during the last year the reviewers granted reductions which totaled $700,000.
This is another proof that vice costs the owners of real estate dearly
when it ravages territory in their neighborhood. The Gary real estate dealer
never needs to lose any sleep about his property diminishing in value because
there are no bawdy houses n its vicinity. GREAT NATIONAL SNEEZEFEST.
sreai many longing L,ane uounty eyes are taking a squint in the dir
ection of the hay-fever resorts these days. Up at Mackinac, there are
numDer or our people. It is one Mecca for sneezes. Over in Pennsylvania
is another Mecca. So numerous are they there, in fact, that their sneezes
can be heard on the summit of Mt. Washington, some twenty miles dis
tant. The sneezes are if all tones and sizes, ranging all the way from the "false" r "cat" sneeze to the real, robustious kerchoo that sends the loosened rocks rumbling down the hillside. The meeting will probably last until the supply of handkerchiefs' is exhausted and a good many sneezes will be interchanged. Many of the delegates want to adopt the onion a3 the sneezer's floral emblem. A new secretary will also be elected. At last year's meeting, while he was presenting his annual report, the secretary carelessly sneezed and blew all the minutes of the meeting on the floor. Before ha could recover them all the delegates were sneezing and the records of the convention were wafted into another county.

THE TIMES ARE PROSPEROUS. There isn't any doubt about it! It is impossible to go back of the reports that are coming in from week to week about the steel, iron and metals industries. From all the manufacturing centers of the land comes the news that prosperity and industrial activity is leaping forward at tremendous bounds. Business i3 growing by tremendous strides. There is no cessation, no
let-up. The indications are that the climax will not be reached either for a
long time. The bountiful harvest, following bumper crops, makes even the most confirmed industrial pessimist declare that good times have come to stay for a long period.
MR. CROLIUS' MERRY DANCES.
And in the meantime, Mr. Crolius is going merrily on sewing up the
democratic votes in his vest pocket. The Crolius fences are reported to be
in beautiful shape, but it is simply for the reason that "Meester" Knotts
has not been able to do anything with them. Mr. Knotts is busily engaged in repairing the debris of his own fences and has not the heart to get on the
offensive while his defenses are in such bad shape. Mr. Crolius is arranging a number of events whereby his cohorts are to trip the light fantastic toe now and anon. He has brought the muses and all the tarpsichorean hosts
into the grim old battle of politics. 'Tis a pleasing division forsooth and
relief to turn to after the nauseous odors rising from the Knotts underworld. "On with the dance," indeed Mr. Crolius "Let joy be unconfined." For there'll come a day when you'll have to do something else beside dance.

DON'T R.IDE WALK. The present year Edward Fayson
Weston, at the age of seventy-one,
walked from New York to San Fran
cisco in one day less than four months.
His average rate of progress was
forty miles per day through all sorts of weather and over every variety of
roads. Nevertheless he arrived at the end
of his trip in fit condition, being apparently as strong as when he started.
"While the feat was for a wager and
more or less spectacular, it was more
than that. It was an object lesson in pedestrianIsm vrhlch ought to cause a revivuMn
the fine old custom of walking. It would seem that by every modern device of automobiles and flying machlneehsrto say nothing of vehicles, street cars and lnterurbans man is trying to rid.blmBelf of the necessity for using .his legs. In the cities especially few persons make any systematic effort, at walking. One may see men and women wait on a street corner for ten minutes in order to ride a half dozen blocks on a street car! Seemingly man has almost dost the habit and forgotten the art. oft walking as exercise. Even the farmer must have his riding plow.
But man was built to go as a walking machine, and when he walks he best performs his natural functions. That exercise puts oxygen in his lungs and blood and compels circulation. It opens the pores of the ekln and disposes of the waste. Walking gives the vital organs-thelr natural and needful massage. The diaphragm is the willing masseur, and
it only needs-to be set to work kneading the organs. Therfman who walks regularly need never be troubled' by a sluggish liver. Besides, the exercise Is taken out of doors and - requires time for Its performance. And therefore all the healthful and exhilarating influences of air and sunshine come to the walker. It is not necessary that the average man should try to duplicate Weston's performance. Weston is a professional and sets a pace that even a much younger man would fall to .meet. ButAll of os would be healthier, stronger and 1 happier were we to walk every flay persistently from four to eight miles. If you should feel bad. tone yourself up by a, good walk. Should you have a" fit of the "blues," take a walk. The exercise will cure both physical and mental ills. Envy no man his fine carriage or automobile. Many a closed carriage is but little more than a hearse. Many an automobile is hurrying Its owner to the cemetery.
Be you wise and walk.

MANY NATIONS TO PARTICIPATE. Thirty nations have signified their intention of participating in the celebration to be held on the Hudson River next month to commenorate the discovery of that waterway by Henry Hudson and the first successful application of steam to Its navigation by Robert Fulton in 1807. Some of them
are going to send merely a distinguished citizen, while others will delegate a personal representative and also despatch one or more naval vessels. The naval parade will be the greatest affair of its kind, seen in this vicinity since the opening of the Harlem ship canal. Among the nations that will be represented are Japan, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Mexico, Argentine, France, Germany, Brazil, Italy, Austria Swredcn and Russia. Great Britain is to send a squadron, made up of the Drake, Argine and the Duke of Edinburgh, under the command of Rear Admiral Frederick T. Hamilton, one of the most distinguished officers of the royal navy. France has declared her intention to send three battleships, and the navies of Italy and Germany will also be well represented. Mexico will send the cruiser Bravo, while Argentine will be represented by the warship Sermiento.

CRUMPACKER FOR SPEAKER. If the newspapers of the Tenth Indiana district have their way, Mr. Crumpacker will succeed Uncle Joe Cannon as speaker of the house. The newspapers of northwestern Indiana are unanimous in the belief that Mr.
Cannon has outlived his usefulness and that Mr. Crumpacker is his logical successor This idea is not confined altogether to the Tenth district, for in the political forecasts of the metropolitan papers Mr. Crumpacker is mentioned frequently as a probable candidate for speaker. All agree that he possesses the experience and peculiar qualifications necessary for the position.
