YESTHOW BECKER LOVES MARSHALL. Mayor Becker's personal organ "deplores Mayor Knotts flings" at the governor and says they are "underserved and Ill-advised." "Would these men" speaking of Becker and others "aid much less permit to go unnoticed a slap at Gov. Marshall?" THIS IS THE RICHEST JOKE OF THE YEAR. At Lafayette on Monday night in a public meeting, Becker assailed Marshall. He accused him of making mistakes. -In Lake County" thundered the basso Becker voice, "Marshall has done much to hurt democracy. He has never dene anything to qualify himself as a national leader." Mayor Becker went further even. He boosted Ben F. Shively as a democratic presidential candidate and gave It as his opinion, that Shively was of presidential timber. Imagine Shively over -whose nomination for senator there was such a cloud of unholy brewery alliance, boomed for the presidency by the mayor of Hammond! Shades of Jefferson And Jackson! Becker's slap at Marshall following up the nasty flings hurled at the governor by his new bed fellow Tom Knotts, show unquestionably the animus these two have.
WHAT DOES THE BOY LEARN IN THE POOLROOM? It is not often that a newspaper in taking a stand for the forces of morality and decency has- met with such hearty commendation and innumerable responses of approbation as has this paper in its crusade against permitting lads of tender years in pool-rooms. The commendation has been wide-spread. It comes from every city and town in Lake County where pool-rooms are permitted Let It be understood at the outset that this paper has nothing whatever against the pool-rooms, per se. The proprietors surely cannot expect to grow rich from the patronage of young lads. Pool playing is an expensive game at best. Young lads cannot afford to play pool. They have as a rule except In Isolated cases the means to frivol away in games of this sort. But pool-playing is the least objectionable of the amusements in places of this nature as the news columns of this paper have shown from time to time. The worst
evil is the feature of loafing and of idleness that comes of the visits to these
ws who have no money to spend. The influence is most

Despite her age she is as lively as many persons half as old. The members of the home gatheredin the corridors of the hospital this evening In reception for Mrs. Sharp. POLICEMAN IS SANDBAGGED. Policeman Dare Glpson of Bedford, while making his rounds, was assaulted by an unidentified man at the Southern Indiana passenger station early this morning. He was sandbagged from behind and beaten into unconsciousess. That he was not killed is evidently due to the assailant being frightened away. RAID LAST SALOON. A raid was made on the old saloon of Canstantanie Gaussin, the last bar to go out of business In Bedford, which has been running as a soft drink parlor. Ten barrels and twenty-five cases of bottled beer, as well as 250 gallons of whisky find other liquor, wforth about $1,000. were found. Three wagon loads in all were taken to the city halL The police claim to have positive evidence that the liquor was being sold. MARSHALL FOR PRESIDENT. The name of Governor Marshall, suggested by orators at the Jackson club's fourteenth annual banquet at Lafayette, marking the anniversary of Jackson's victory at New Orleans, as a candidate for president of the United States, was greeted by prolonged applause.

TAXPAYERS BULLETIN OUT. J. L. Peetz, state statistician, out of his own office fund, has had printed the Taxpayers' Bulletin," and yesterday prepared to mail the limited edition of 10,000 copies received from the printer. Mr. Peetz states that he is convinced the information should be presented to the people. and, inasmuch as there was not enough money in the state printing fund to warrant the expense from the state fund, he decided to do the printing from his own office expense fund. He proposes to issue the'bulletins annually, i AUTO SM ASHES SLEIGH.

The teachers of Shelby township, ten In number, are threatening to go on a strike if the township does not provide janitors for them. The teachers held an institute Saturday and during the sessions of this monthly meeting It was learned that all the teachers had to do work along janitor's lines. One of them stated that he had been building fires, sweeping and dusting his room, and that was out of his line. He declared that he intended tcTpresent a bilL to the township for these extra services.

CHANCE FOR BASE BALL FANS. Base ball fans all over the Calumet region and this corner of the state will hail with gladness the news that the probability of a league among the several cities is exciting attention.
That it will prove fire instead of smoke is to be hoped. This district is now big enough to make it amply able to support a semi-professional baseball league. The 'movement simply wants a leading spirit who will refuse to let sentiment die out. These athletic leagues and combinations have been
formed with glowing prospects in the past, but the first time the wind blew the wrong way, some weak sister got cold feet and allowed the bottom to
drou out of the movement after a few faint protests. Athletics Is like busi
ness. It cannot always have smooth sailing. It encounters many rocks
and thoal3. Much enterprise and diplomacy is needed to keep these things going so that advantage may be reaped from them. There is no question, .however, but what such a baseball league as is mentioned above would in
the course of a year or two be a profitable proposition for those who are be
hind it. The national game cannot be called a losing proposition at any stage of the game, and there is more money made out of it today, than out of any
oihe-r branch of sport not excluding racing or pugilism.
LET HER GO, GALLAGHER! We can readily understand Mr. Gallagher's reluctance to seeing Tolleston mad a part of Gary. It is quite natural for him to oppose the plan whereby he would lose his official identity as head of the Tolleston town board, but after all, it seems rather selfish for Mr. Gallagher to take the position of opposition when the majority of the people of Tolleston realize that annexation sooner or later is as sure as fate. Come it must in the near future. What then can it benefit Mr. Gallagher to be so obstreperous and to try to . butt his head "against a stone wall, for his opposition will avail him just about that much satisfaction. Mr. Gallagher proposes to spend $500 to fight annexation. This will be money thrown away. If the town president is fighting-for a principle why does he not spend this money out. of his own pocket instead of spending the money of the taxpayers. Isn't it about time that Mr. Gallagher saw' the light?

WHAT A GOOD PAPER DOES FOR A CITY. That the very best medium for advertising a city lies in the newspapers of that city, is a fact constantly before the minds of even their most casual readers. If a municipality has a newspaper which is recognized in other cen
ters as being conducted with ability, courage and honesty, that fact, alone
will compel respect and rivet attention on the city and care for the best in
terests of the city in which the paper is published.
The TIMES claims that through its wide circulation outside of Lake County, that It has done more to edvertise Gary and the rest of the cities
of Lake county than any other paper published herein. Dozens of new sub
scribers from all over the state and union, comes to the paper unsolicited every month and it would be suprising to the outsider to see the number
of Inquiries for sample copies that are received by the circulation department
every week.
The TIMES has boosted Gary to the four corners of the earth, not be
cause it was the duty of the paper, but because Gary with all Its wonders de
serves to be boosted. The community which supports such newspapers will
be unevitably benefited through the high opinion created elsewhere. In this connection it may be pertinently said that a city is In truth known by its
newspapers.

are asking the reason.

A WOMAN'S TONGUE. William Watson, the English poet, wrote a poem entitled "The Woman With the Serpent's Tongue," a vitriolic diatribe. Richard L Gailienne, In reply, wrote a poem, "The Poet With the Coward's Tongue," branding Watson's stuff as
ungallant and untrue, whereat there his been talk of a hostile meeting, etc.
A woman's tongue. Men have jeered and jested at it,
but have found no fault with the
tongue of man, because, you know, his
tongue knows naught but gentleness and savors always of seraphic sweetness!
A woman's tongue. Whose? Your mother's, or wife's, or
sister's, or daughter's, or sweetheart's?
No, no! Of course not! Some other
person's mother or wife or sister or
sweetheart has the serpent's tongue. A woman's tongue. Whose tongue was it sang the lulla
by to you in the days when, helpless
and dependent, some one's loving arms
held you in embrace? Who brushed
away your tears and with soothing tongue hushed your childish troubles? Whose tongue prayed to God for your
welfare? What tongue was it bade you "Goodby and God bless you, my child!" when you went away? And whose tongue still prays for you? A woman's tongue. 8ome woman's tongue said "Yes" when yoq asked her to marry you and help you and love you through all the years. Whose was It? Was it not the same tongue that sang your babies to sleep the same tongue that, when you went to ber despondent and broken, sweetly said, "Never mind, dear try it again?" , A woman's tongue. Is It a serpent's tongue that calls you by the endearing name of "brother?" What tongue quicker to respond In defense of you. to intercede for you. to bless you. thau a sister's tongue? A woman's tongue.
Does a malignant tongue say "dear daddy?" The little daughter's tongue lisps "papa" with its earliest accents, and the big daughter writes that you
are "the finest father in all the world.
Are the serpents tongues of your flesh and blood? A woman's tongue. Is there guile under the tongue of
"the dearest girl of them all" your sweetheart? Is hers the serpent's tongue. What woman's tongue? Occasional sharpness there may be; but. oh. the tender, soothing, loving accents of a woman's tongue! Only the poet with a coward's tongue could fault it.

"THIS IS MY 48TH BIRTHDAY. Henry I. JVUUer. Henry Irving Miller, president of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad.
was born in Cleveland, O., Jan. 12, 1862, and was educated at Mount St. Mary's
college. Emmitsburg, Md., and Cornell
university. Ills career as a railroad man dates from 1880, when he became
a clerk with the Pennsylvania com
pany. From this position he rose In
the Pennsylvania service until he be
came division superintendent. In 1901
he was appointed general manager of
the Vandalla Line and from 1903 to 1905
he filled a similar position with the Rock Island system. He left the Rock Island to become vice president of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and soon
after was promoted to the presidency.
Some time ago the Mikado of Japan
honored Mr. Miller by conferring upon him the Order of Sacred Treasure,
Third Degree, for his aid in bringing
Japanese railroads tip to a high stand ard.
WORK.OF THE DAY IN CONGRESS
(Tuesday, Jan. 11, 1910.) SENATE. That the committees of the senate have not taken up the work of the session In earnest was made evident today when, after a sitting of flftyflve minutes, the calendar was exhausted, and it became necessary to adjourn for the day. s HOUSE. After passing the army appropriation bill, carrying the sum of $95,200,000 for the maintenance of the army, during the fiscal year of 1911, the house today proceeded to consideration of one of the so-called "white slave" bills. Opposition developed to that portion of the measure reported by the immigration committee which makes it a felony for any person to assist another to go from one state to another for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. It was contended by Representatives Bartlett of Georgia. Goe-
bel of Ohio and Richardson of Alabama that such action would be an encroachment upon state's rights, as under the constitution each state had the sole power to regulate its own morals. The bill still was under consideration when the house at 4:30 p. m. adjourned until tomorrow.
Triumph of the Blind. A California scientist has discoverod that the native flea does not see. The creature does not need to see. How curious are the triumphs of the blind!
i
we want a man who is not conserva
tive. What's the matter wiyi Benjamin F. Shively? The tariff issue is paramount and -will be in 1912. He is the'
greatest advocate of a reduced tariff in
the United States today. I'm for him because he fits the issue. Governor
Marshall, I do not think, has ever done
anything to qualify as the national leader. He may be the man for us, but I have to be shown. Governor Marshall, I believe, has made a number of mistakes.
SAYS HE HURT PARTY. In Lake county he has done much to
hurt the democracy. He declared Ham
mond a wide open town, full of evil and corruption, and never even investi
gated the real conditions. Hammond
has been villified and much abused without cause. I tell you it is a well-
governed and well-behaved city, where
no gamblers or resort keepers are al lowed to land."
Mayor Becker further rubbed it in on
Governor Marshall by pointing to Governor Harmon of Ohio, and Mayor Gaynor of New Tork City, as presidential
timber, and closed with the statement
that "I have not seen any evidence of
Governor Marshall's ability as a nation
al leader. I am from Missouri. I want to be shown. I want to see it before I support him for the presidential
nomination." WAIT T1M TOM GETS BACK,
Governor Marshall is in Washington
and Just what he thinks of this speech
of Becker's will not be known until he returns.- But it is pointed out here that the Becker speech comes just at
the inopportune time for Marshall, fo
if he cannot make good right now with
the bulk of the democrats when hi
popularity is at its height it is difficult
to see how he can make good later on
in case his popularity begins to wane.
Mayor Becker, undoubtedly, tees
something that looks like a handwrlt
ing on the wall that spells the name "Gaynot." In fact, there Is a suspicion
that he is trying to get on the ban
wagon, for there is a good deal of Gay nor talk In connection with the presi
dential nomination. Gaynor has started
In as mayor of New Tork in such a wa
as to attract much attention. He has
appointed some of the very best me
in that city to offices in his adminis
tration .and he has not paid a partic!
of attention to Tammony. He has Tammany in such a position that It dare not say a wcrd. It has to like It, whether It gets anything from the mayor or not. This is the first time in many years that any democratic mayor of New York has dared to Ignore Tammany, and for this reason Gaynor is drawing around him many friends. Whether Becker locks at the situation through these glasses is not known, but some of Governor Marshall's friends believe he does.
BOOMING R ALSTON. Another thing that developed at that Lafayette dinner was the recurrence of the boom for Samuel M. Ralston for governor. The democrats used to nominate John W. Kern for governor with a charming and refreshing regularity, but Kern is down and out with the organization because he denounced the manner in which he was doublecrossed In the race for United States senator last winter, an dnow they are
with the same rejrularlty with which tor PP'".

A new name is heard as a candidate
for republican state chairman. It is that of Henry W. Bennett of this city.
president of the State Life Insurance society, president of .the Indianapolis Stove company, and former postmaster
of Indianapolis. It is said that he is to be elected district chairman in the Seventh district, but If his chairman

campaign and was one of the hardest and most effective workers in the en
tire party. He has many friends
throughout . the state.
James Walter Pritchard of this city.
state president of the college organiza
tions which are part of the Indiana Lincoln League of Republican clubs, has notified I'resident E. E. Neal of th Lincoln league that several hundred members of the college clubs will attend the state convention of the league when it is held at Columbus on Feb. 12, Mr. Pritchard also will be on the program for a speech in behalf of the college clubs.
