GIFFORD PINCHOT'S DISMISSAL. When one man employed by another with certain services to perform and certain orders to obey, disregards those orders.-his removal from those duties cannot be otherwise than expected. GIFFORD PINCHOT VIOLATED THE ORDERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Right or wrong In his contentions, he refused to obey the executive orders. What else was there to do than to summarily remove him from office? He defied the President. He threw down the gauge of battle at a time when the situation in administrative circles was tense. If you employed a man to carry out certain orders and he refused to obey, what would you do? What else would there be for you to do? It has been held In Mr. Pinchofs case that he had the friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and was carrying out Mr. Roosevelt's policies. THEODORE ROOSEVELT IS NOT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
DO SOMETHING FOR THE WATER. . - There is a unanimity of opinion in Hammond regarding the inadequacy of the water supply in times when anchor ice works havoc with the pressure sent into the mains. Prominent manufacturers,' business men and. citizens agree fervently that something must be done to alleviate the mischief. Naturally they are reluctant to suggest the proper remedy feeling as they do
that the method of solving the problem lies entirely with the city authorities WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE AND POWER TO COPE WITH THE SITUATION. Hammond people point out that the menace to life, health and property exists with conditions as they
are now and they are hopeful that steps can be taken at once to provide at ,all times and under all circumstances a proper and fit supply of water for the city. The courts .ken by the city administration will be watched with great interest .-mZ!!- Wy will be equal to the emergency is. fully believed.
ROUGHRIDING OVER THE INSURGENTS.
The newspapers which are declaring that President Taft Is going to ride
rough-shod over what has been termed the insurgents in the republican party are very far from the mark. Mr. Taft will not do anything of the kind. The
president may try to make these spirited and uncontrollable gentlemen that It is necessary for him to do certain things in order to carry out party policy and heed the will of the majority that elected him, but he is not going to make any more enemies than ls possible, by so doing. WHO BELIEVES
FOR A MINUTE THAT MR. TAFT DOES NOT REALIZE THE POWER OF WHAT IS DENOMINATED THE INSURGENT MOVEMENT? It would be the height of folly for him to grind these men remorselessly under his
feet even were he so disposed. President Taft is a peacemaker, not a warrior. He 1b not in the Aldrlch-Cannon class and it Is necessary for him to be
brake to both the conservatives and the radicals in the party. The threat of withholding patronage, he must realize, would not do anything else but
drive the progressives completely out of his fold.
The withdrawal of patronage from, the Insurgents would certainly not weaken them any with their constituents. If office-seeker John Jones has
Influence enough with Insurgent Senator Bill Smith to get in line for a fed
eral job and he finds that Senator Bill Smith has been deprived of the power
to help him gain that job, his anger will not be vented against the senator,
but against those who cut off the senatorial requisite. The president would
Burely realize this.

GOVERNOR GLENN TO TALK. Former Governor Robert B. Glenn of North Carolina will deliver an address to the DePauw university at Greencastle. r Mr. Glenn served as gvernor during the term of 1904 and it was

in his state.
C05I MISSION TAKES LEAD. The railroad commission of Indiana
took the initiative in adopting the uni
form demurrage rules of the national
committee on uniform demurrage. It
is in many ways the most important step taken in railroad matters in a
number of years, as it clears up aj question that has caused more controversy between railroads and shippers
than any other In their relations.

SAYS SYSTEM IS WRONG. Addressing the Farmers' institute at
Kokomo, Professor John F. Haines of Noblesville, for years county superin

pointed out the absurdity of forcing

ned in a set curriculum, and explained
that much time was wasted in need less studies:

many feet. The horse's legs were broken and the animal had to be
killed.
HIT HER WITH HAMMER. Mrs. Alice Grats of Fort Wayne
ford, Conn., and Mrs. Jennie Conrad a
brought suit for divorce because, she alleges, her husband knocked her down
with a hammer. He Is alleged to have
hit her three times with the imple
ment, inflicting seriaus wounds. It is
charged he was restrained from killing her only by the children and neighbors. B. & O. TO GET IV II. D. It is said that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, which has a mileage
of 1,037 miles, stock of $16,000,000 and bonds of $5,460,700, is passing into the
control of the Baltimore & Ohio and will soon emerge from its trouble. The
opiftion prevails that the Clnt-lnnatl,
Hamilton & Dayton will before many months roll around be secured aa a part of the Baltimore & Ohio system. If
it is not already in condition to become a part of that organization.

THE FIGHTING TENTH.
The fight on the convention floor at Hammond during the Tenth District convention, this week, shows that the party is very much alive and expects to put up a great fight this year. It doesn' matter to a democrat how many factions his party is split up into, he is happy when there is a fight in prospect. The Lafayette" Journal says: "The Democratic party is alive and democratic principles have not perished. The complete reports from the democratic convention of the Tenth district, prove this. This organization meeting recalled the good old democratic times and prophesied ' the revival' of democracy. There were several fights, twice the convention adjourned pending the restoration of order, there were groans and hisses and two belligerents were instructed to "fight it out" and settle their differences. True democracy ruled the daynd those in attenance showed their LOYALTY TO THE LOFTY IDEALS OF JEFFERSON AND JACKSON, CLEVELAND AND BRYAN. Despite the turmoil and confusion Charles F. Murphy, of Brookston, was named district chairman. It Is passing strange that a man of Mr. Murphy's attainments and strength should have been found by the warrng crowd. Mr. Murphy is a man of strong character and he will add dignity to thetate committee. Although James Kirby Risk was not active in the deliberations of the convention his generalship is
indicated by the election of Mr. Murphy. Mr. Risk was tactful enough to keep out of the fight, but evidently he still has some influence in his party and knows more about the game than some other aspiring -jioliticians of this
county can hope to learn."
THE EDITORIAL BUZZ SAW.
The man who prates upon the streets about his neighbors, exaggerating and falsifying about them with malicious intent, displays a lack of prudence of which the wise and most discriminating would not be guilty. This is especially true ifthe person whom he attacks is a newspaper man. The man who is guilty of this offense need expect no quarter from his victim when
favorable opportunity comes to the latter to retaliate. The foolish guy who thus gives vent to his diseased mind and putrid opinions may be silly enough to think himself Immune from attack. But when he is given a dose of the same medicine which he would administer to others, he had best gulp it
down and call it sweet, bitter though it may be. The prudent sensible man will not monkey with the business end of a newspaper man, unless he .courts
trouble. Monroevllle (O.) Spectator. '
THERE IS nothing startling in President Taft's latest message to Congress. It is a judicial calmly-tempered document setting forth the solution of grave problems in a calmly-tempered way. A number of difficult questions are raised by the president. There is much food for the gravest? consideration
in the document. A cursory reading of it shows that the president's wisdom
trTIi be ble tccope with these significant questions with which he must deal.

tleful or the bushel and milk by the pint. And because of their poverty these poor of Chicago must pay 20 PER CENT MORE for tbeir milk than the rich or well to do. Do you wonder the poor of the cities lose hope? The poor families have babies. They have more babies than the rich. The equation is like this: More babies less money. Less money higher price. Babies must have milk. Their little
Vetomachs will not digest, or assimilate
more substantial food. Milk is a necessity where there is a baby. Ami the men who manage the milk trust know that. Without milk the ' babies will die rich babies and poor babies alike.
If the milk Is impure the babies will
die, and thousands do die on that ac
count. If there is not enough milk
the baby will cry and languish and die.' The milk trust knows that thousands of poor mothers almost starve the family to pay for baby's funeral. They know as long as there is a penny In the house baby will get its milk. If there Is no money the mother will go to the pawnbroker up at the corner. Now Investigation shows the farmers are getting no more money for their milk than before the raise. The trust is not only squeezing an extra cent out of the consumer, but it is COINING 2 CENTS EXTRA ON THE QUART OUT OF THE MOTHER LOVE FOR THE BABY. Could there be a meaner thing?
The New Testament, which teaches
love, contains few curses, but it has
one especially reserved for the spoilers of babyhood. It says in substance that he who offends one of these little nr.es would better tie a stone about hlr neck and !drowri himself In the depths o? the sea. 1 It to an appropriate curse.

Three-girls who live ln my neighborhood went abroad recently. At Liverpool all of them wrote back the inevitable souvenir post-cards to their various friends,"" and by comparing notes this is what we found: That Helen had written "Nellie and Edith were very sick, but I didn't miss a meal." That Nellie had written that "Helen and Edith were in their staterooms for three days, but I never felt a qualm." That Edith had written "I was perfectly well all the way over. Nellie and Helen terribly sick." Why are people so apt to be ashamed and proud of the wrong things in life? There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of in sea sickness, but I don't know one person in ten who will own to suffering from it. There is nothing to be ashamed of about loving, but I know innumerable people who hide their affection from their family and friends as if It were a disgrace. Any good woman ought to be ashamed of having won 'a man's love when she cannot return it. And yet not one woman in a thousand Is. Any good man ought to be ashamed of risking his life without due cause, an,i yet
not one man in a thousand is. There ls nothing to be proud of In differing from your fallow beings ln some small detail in taste or habits. And yet who hasn't heard the following or simiiar announcements made in tones of evident pride? ' I never eat desserts. I never wear flannels. 1 I can't bear to eat Ice cream with a spoon. I never use sugar ln my tea. I can't endure cats. And eo forth and so on ad lnflnitsm and also ad nauseam.
