A CRYING SHAME IN MANY CITIES. The agitation started in East Chicago against the practice of permitting young lads to loaf in pool-rooms is one that should receive the attention of the authorities and people" of every city and town in Lake County. THAT THEY ARE LOAFING PLACES FOR BOYS OF TENDER AGE IS NOT TO BE DENIED FOR A MINUTE. Go into nearly all of them and you will see boys in their early teens smoking, swearing and loafing. There ought to be a way of putting a stop to It. Few of these boys have any money to spend. All of them ought to either be at home, in school or at work. The habits of vlciousness and of Idleness that they learn in these places work incalculable harm to them in after years. NO FATHER WHO HAS THE WELFARE OF HIS BOY 'AT HEART WILL PERMIT HIM TO LOAF IN A POOL-ROOM. The absolute moral and physical wreck of the lives of at least two promising boys in Hammond, i3 attributed indirectly tfo the influences that they learned in the pool-room. No proprietor of a pool-room who has any respect for
himself, for his family, for his business or for the public at largewill permit boys of fifteen and sixteen years of age to frequent his establishment. They should neither be permitted to play or loaf in such places. When these boys congregate together in idleness Jin pool-rooms they learn habits of extreme viciousness. It is a well-established fact among the police that these vhours of Idleness HAVE LEAD TO PETTY DEEDS OF CRIME, OF LARCENY ASSIGNATIONS, OF COCAINE-TAKING AND EVEN WORSE THINGS. It is a crying evil which ought to be stopped. There ought to be such vigilance on the part of the police, such an uprising on the part of the public that the pool-room proprietor who harbors young boys in his establishment would get short shrift and be put out of business. If there is no law on the statute books dealing with this unpardonable offense against public morals, public health and public safety, there ought to be one put there and put there in a hurry. The boy, the family? and the state will be much benefited

DEMOCRATS SNUB GOV. MARSHALL.
The attitude of Thos. E. Knotts of Gary formerly republican postmaster
or oary and now its insurgent democratic mayor, and his new political bed
rellow Mayor Becker of Hammond, as well as the aloofness of their collea
gues Mayor Darrow of Laporte and Mayor Durgan of Lafayette to Governor
Thomas E. Marshall is attracting a good deal of attention and unfavorable comment throughout the district and state. There is a sadly discordant note in the harmony note in democratic ranks that bodes anything but good for the democrats in this part of the state. THE SURPRISING FAILURE OF
THE DEMOCRATS AT THEIR RECENT CONVENTION IN HAMMOND TO ADOPT RESOLUTIONS AND TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES ON THE YEAR OLD ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNOR MARSHALL IS ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICANT. It has hitherto been a policy of the democratic party in thi3 scetion to come out strong at conventions for democratic administrations and the slight to the governor in failing to do so will not be passed over so soon. There is a mumbling of discontent among the Lake County democrats, outside of the power-glutted cohorts in Gary and Hammond, because Gov. Marshall was Ignored at the convention and the evidently intentional snub is reported to have been carefully noted at the capitol and GOV. MARSHALL IS NOT ONE TO OVER LOOK THESE THINGS WHEN THE DAY OF RECKONING XOMES AS IT SURELY WILL..
ABOUT CANNED EDITORIALS. The republican state committee has established a so-called press bureau, patterned after the renowned Taggart Press Pureau, and is supplying aditorlal dope to those editors who are either too lazy or too ignorant to prepare their own. It is pleasing to observe that the number of papers in which these embalmed productions appear is quite small, but it is regretable that they are anywhere given space as original productions. The state committee might do very well to supply the republican papers with political letters of with political articles signed by' men of some reputation, but when it assumes to edit these papers it transcends its province. To be sure, certain editors who are suffering from the ravages of the hookworm may welcome the contributions in their present form, but the live ones will resent the offerings as nothing short of impudence Fort Wayne News.
SOME MORE HARMONY. The Fowler Leader says of the new democratic district chairman "As one of the great duties of a district chairman is to go to Indianapolis and make a holler for campaign money and to bring it back to the patriots, there is no reason why Charley, will not be better than anybody." . By the way they are having some trouble down in Benton Co. It seems that Col. Roby had his lightning rod up for the job and was double crossed by one Duffy. In Col. Roby's paper he pays-his respects' to Duffy as. follows"Mr, Duffy showed up again as a traitor, coward and sneak and put himself out of any possibility of being a candidate for congress as well as eliminated the county as a factor in district politics of the future." Oh, for democratic harmony. Oh, joy!
FOLLOWING UP its sensational allegations in its "expose of the socalled Lake County Democracy," last week in which charges of graft and extortion were made, the Lake County Democrat, whose stock-holders comprise the party's most representative men up and dowu Lake County, comes out with. a second installment in which some particularly serious charges are made. They have been widely circulated and the objects of these attacks have been dragged Into a most unpleasant limelight. There is great curiosity in the further promised expose chapters which it is said will go still deeper lnio the mess.

When you picked up your paper today you undoubtedly read In the ordinary days news of a dozen maybe many more people who died by accident. Perhaps of some painful item you said: "How- terrible!" " But you probably never thought "That might Just as well have been me." And yet it might have. ', It is impossible for a. well, strong person to truly sense the thought of dying. I know a girl who always says: "If I die," because she is so full of life and spirits that she simply cannot realize she will not always be alive. .

JOE AND SAM. I want you to read this fine, true story of Joe and Sam Leonard, brothers, aged sixteen and fourteen respectively.' I watch the newspapers pretty closely, and this Is one of the best human interest items 1 have seen. Of the two brothers Sam is blind. Flaxen haired, footsore, sunburned, one leading the other, they were found by a Chicago policeman, who took them to a station, where they were fed. They had come from New Orleans, riding in box cars. This was Joe's story : , "I don't care so much about myself, but I want to see tittle Sam go ahead. I cane to Chicago to work. I will do anything, from peeling potatoes to scrubbing floors, for Sam's sake. I will get ahead too." Joe's eyes flashed when he uttered the last sentence. As he told of the death of their father and mother in New Orleans and of their struggles Sam's arm stole around Joe's neck! Joe sold papers, but got sick, and they had only $4 left With this sum they left for "the lig city in the north," of which they had heard so much. But Joe can tell the story better than I can: "I helped Sammy on a freight train. I got on. and we rode to Memphis. I was so afraid something would happen to Sammy I could hardly steep. "One night it got cold, and I put my ont over Sam .to keep him warm. A
tramp was in the box car, and I was so sleepy I couldn't watch him. When I woke up in the morning he had left with my coat and $3 which I had in my pocket "Then they put us off at Centralia, 111., and we had to wait a whole day before a freight train s.topped. I begged a little something for Sammy to eat I didn't want much." Getting up on his sturdy legs. Jo spoke out bravely: "I am strong and healthy, and I am going to work to keep Sam. You know, Sam Is pretty smart and I will soon make enough money to put him through school. Oh, if I get a Job then we wilt get along finer Splendid Joe Leonard! Match him as a big brother if you can! In true feeling, in brotherly self sacrifice, in high will power, Joe Leonard is already a man! The city of Chicago will be unworthy of the manly spirit of this brave and tender heart If It fails to gire him a chance. And the boy asksonly half a chance to begin. Read the little story over again. It has many touches of real heroism.

(By R. Ci. Tucker.) Indianapolis, Ind January 8. What might happen in Indiana If President Taft should attempt to punish Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge for his opposition to the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill or to any meausre in which the president might take a violent Interest, has opened up a highly entertaining line oi speculation among party leaders. Senator Beveridge's lieutenants have passed the word out to the faithful that there is no occasion for alarm because of threats made against the insurgents that they may be deprived of their patronage if they make a fuss against the legislative program the president has In mind. The horde of the faithful that nearly threw fatal spasms when it was intimated that Senator Beveridge might be placed on the presidential blacklist has been assured that all is well and that none of Senator Beveridge's recommendations will be held up. This is taken to mean that the president and Senator Beveridge have come to an understanding and that the president is not goig to hold it against the latter because he would not vote for the Payne-Aldrich bill. A few weeks 8go, when President Taft poured a broadside into the insurgents In his Winona speech there was a howl from one end, of Indiana to the other that caused the ardent followers of the administration to sit up suddenly and take notice. The noise raised then, however, was
not to be compared to the rumbling that started this week at the bare suggestion that Senator Beveridge was to be chastised and deprived of hie patronage because he didn't choose to follow the president's lead. Senator Beveridge's close friends are asserting now that he Is in sympathp with the president's-plans, and they point to the work he is doing In preparation of the bill for the government of Alaska. On all matters except the tariff they
Beveridge are practically agreed, and that there is no likelihood of a split that would cause the president to adopt tactics against Beveridge that are said tc be in waiting for certain Insurgent senators and congressmen. (During the flurry produced by the report that Senator Beveridge was to be included in the Ut marked for punishment republican leaders came right out in meeting with the prediction that President Taft was laying up a lot of trouble for himself in Indiana and that if he keeps on as he is said to have started his chances of obtaining a solid delegation from Indiana to the next national convetion would be decidedly slim. If Senator Beveridge is to be punished, the suggestion is being made that his state ought to send a delegation tc the next convention instructed to present his name for the presidency. While it is not believed now that it Is likely that there will be an anti-Taft Indiana delegation, republican leaders are speculating on what might take place if the division on the tariff issue is emphasized much harder, and if there is a disposition manifested to embarrass any on in this state for opposing the administration program. Reports that the president's political advisers at Washington are not pleased with the course taken by Congressman Barnard, of the Sixth District, and Congressman Crumpacker, of the Tenth, have added to the resentment felt by a large element.
