OSSATER THE DIFFICULTY, MORE GLORY IN SURMOUNTING.

It ta qvtte erMbeot to tbe friends of amalgamation in Eaat Cbicago, Whit-

iaeamd Hammond that too Ktast Chicago plan of annexation i doomed to defeat, one rwaUow does not make a sunauier, howeyer, And the Jos of one battle in a war does not necessarily mean the loss of the campaign. The

ease with which the antl-anoexationisti in Hammond are spearing signers to the remonstrance show that the document wUl go into the eoorts with

far mora than enough names to defeat the annexation intdattre as taken

by Mayor Schlieker of East Chicago. 1 However, there is no reason why the friends of amalgamation should he discouraged at this setback. The seeds

of amalgamation have been sown in good ground and the people are thinking. The majority of the people in Hammond who signed the remonstrance are

in 4aer of it They all say "I am in favor of amalgamation, buW In that

little word, they object to the method, not to the'plan itself.

There is only one way to bring about amalgamation of the cities pf jUTiitlng, Indiana Harbor, East Chicago and Hammond, and that is by a plan of education and getting together that will demonstrate to the taxpayers of

each cf the cities that it is the best thing for them to do. Amalgamation will

oome a sore as the sun in heaven shines. When a plan is adopted showing the great benefits to accrue from it, showing that it is inevitable, the move, meat of oentralliaing a civic government will follow, : This paper is proud

to be a pioneer in the movement of amalgamation. It is proud of the fact that it has been big enough to give both sides pf the question. .It is proud of the fact that, thought it favors amalgamation, it has dared to print commtmicatioDfl from civic bodies who have taken a stand against annexation.

tbat no other paper "dared to print. This paper will continue to fight for

amalgamation, for it believes that the big men of these cities win soon

devise a plan of action that will meet with general approval. It believes

In the elimination of politics from the situation and that the whole proposition is purely a business one from the standpoint of the taxpayers. It believes that the day of retribution is soon coming for the little papers who fought the proposition, simply because they were afraid of losing the little pap they are getting for city printing.

THE TREE BUTCHER. THE TIMES has received a communication from Charles C. Dean, secretary of the Indiana state board of forestry, urging the more careful treatment of shade trees. "The tree butcher," he says, "ruined many valuable shade trees last fall," and he expresses the fervent hope that this class of citteen will find steady employment at some other kind of work before spring Advances very far. "Shade trees," continues Secretary Dean, are usually pruned by some one temporarily out of employment. His only qualification is the possession of an ax and saw. He needs work, so he finds some property owner, who has some nice shade trees and importunes him to have them cut back. The owner consents. The axman is to receive so much for the job and the wood the limbs make. "The workman at once sees that it is to his advantage to cut the limbs off close to the trunk of the tree, because he can complete the job quicker with no dangerous climbing and by so doing he gets more wood. Consequently the tree is ruined. Shade trees should be trimmed up when young so the top will be at least twelve feet above the walk. After this all that is necessary is to cut .out the dead and superfluous branches. The: amount and kind of pruning will depend a great deal upon the species of tree planted. COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE. They were' stirring words- those spoken In Egypt recently by ex-frea indent Theodore Roosevelt. Tney are splendid words for the young men of the present generation to heed. They cannot be too firmly impressed on the minds of the) young. Here they are: . "No man may reach the front rank who is not intelligent and is not trained with intelligence. Mere intelligence Itself is worse than useless

unless it is guided by an upright heart, with strength" and courage behind It. "Morality; decency, clean living, courage, manliness, and pelf-Tespect are more important than mental subtlety. An honest, courageous, and far sighted politician is a good thing in any country, where his usefulness depends chiefly on his ability to express the wishes of the population in which the politician forms only a fragment of the leadership, and where the business man, the land owner, the engineer, the man of technical knowledge men of a hundred different pursuits represent the average type of leadership.

QUESTION: "What is Weston walking for?" has not been answered and the cocky old "ped" has come and gone, i ft . AMONG the "Opry" singers now in Chicago, is Gatti-Casazsi. If it was eatty-casazxi, nowwe might say something.

WHAT THE LAW STANDS FOR. State Food Inspector Frank Tucker is doing in Gary Just exactly what we predicted he would do a few weeks ago- when we announced that the Inspection of conditions would occur. There have been a lot of places in Gary that have been dishing out a bad deal to the public in the form of impure foods and unsanitary conditions.- - Not' only that, but they have received ' ample warning of their misdemeanors, .some . of them, such as S. L. Eisler, 'have caused the-health board untold trouble on other occasions, and as a whole it is believed that they deserved just - what they received in sthe way of punishment. Whn a grocer and a milk dealer are fined for not giving the public a square deal, it is not the few paltry dollars that thoy give up that hurts, but it is the reputation which they get among their customers, the undesirable publicity that galls them, and which in flagrant cases has amounted to the ruination of their business. " u 1 1 n i i . 'iftSj a i. i ... GETS AND ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION. The reception that Senator Beveridge's great speech at Indianapolis has met with over the stata ia. remarkable. It Is nthuslatie lrj tlta extreme. The majoritythe big maJority--of the republican papers in Indiana are in thorough accord with Senator Beveridge. The feyette Courier says; f - "As Senator Beveridge said: 'The only way to keep secure a policy, a "system or a government that in Itself jg good, ia to aj, minister It with Justice and wisdom. The only way to keep a party solid and growing to keep ft right and progressive,' Tb9 wisdom- . of these words cannot bt gs4nsaid, ihd the effort to reallis all th& ought to be as engaging a platform as 007 voter could wish."

WELJL, we can all view from a distance the merry little scrap that our democratic friends over the state are soon to have. THE fishing season is expected here any day hut that anything bigger than minnows can be caught is much to be doubted.

TROUBLE with a lot of people is that they cannot understand the difference between prosperity and throwing money away. WE have not yet been able to solve the question why married women wear just as much false hair as the unmarried ones, IF Mr. Taft is going to cut short many more of his visits he will have Jots of time to spend with Mrs, Taft

and the children, SIX pairs of twins have been born to an Ohio woman. Gee, what a lot of sitting up nights the father of that flock must have to do. - - MAGAZINE is making a great fuss

because girls kiss fellows before they are engaged. Who ever heard of a girl getting engaged without kissing a chap?

A Public Benefit

Hammond People Greatly

interested in the Gener-, ous Offer of Kaufman and Wolf.

The people have already demonstrat.

ed that they would rather trust a man who is naturally honest than one who

Is honest only because he had to be. The Lion Store Pharmacy has a nrmly established Reputation for square dealing and sterling honesty. When they told the people that Rexall Remedies are the purest and most dependable medicines that it is possible for modern science to produce, and that they would tell the public what each one of these 390 or more remedies contained, and that they sold Rexall Remedies on their, personal guarantee that they would give entire satisfaction or they would pot cost the user a single cent, they were believed. Ever since this announcement the Lion Store Pharmacy, Kaufmann & Wolf Props, has been largely patronized by people buying Rexall Remedies, all of which proves that this store has the confidence of the people and that honestly is the best policy. There Is no "cure-all" among the Rexall Remedies, There are ? different and separate medicines, each one devised for a certain human ailment or a class of ailments closely allied. For instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are recommended for the positive relief of stomaqh irritation, indigestion, flatulency and dyspepsia. They are rich in BUmuth-Subnitrate, Pepsin and Carminatives. They are prepared by special processes which perfect and enhance the great remedial value of these well-known medlelnal agents. This remedy sells for 25 cents, 50

cents, and $1.00 per package. Every one suffering from stomach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, Inasmuch as they eest nothing if they do not satisfy. n Remember, Lion Store Pharmacy, Kaufmann .& Wolf Props, is the only store In Hammond where these remedies may be obtained, and every one In need of medicine is urged to investigate and take advantage ef the frank and generous manner in which they are sold.

RACING DEAD JEN MEXICO New York, April 8. A message was flashed across the country last night

rrom Galveston, Texas, announcing that horse r&eing in Mexlee was dead. It went further and said that the Mexican government had recalled all racing eoncessions granted to Americana, who had also suffered the loss of 178,000 put up as a forfeit to ereet four tracks In that country. The failure to build courses at Monterey, Chihuahua and Mexico City was given as thp reason tor tha forfeiture of the $75,000. Colonel Matt J. Winn, the manager ef the Juares enterprise, is in the city and when Informed of the story Immediately pronounced it false. "Juares is closed," said Mr, Winn. "In fact it has been closed since March 1, when the meeting ended. There is no posslblity of our concessions being rescinded, as it is irrevocable for twenty years."

STORE OF QUALITY You take no Chances here The Hats this store sells are not worth double, nor one-third more, hut are worth their full price, $2.00, no less-

H. & B. HATS represent correct styles.
