Rev. Sharp has provided a good deal of the enthusiasm necessary to build never mind

fine churches in Whiting, Gary and East Chicago, to say nothing of the help he has done to other churches that are struggling over this part of the state. The work of the Hammond pastor, since he located in this region, is such as to ehower deserved encomiums on his head. He has gone about in a simple and unostentatious manner and has done things things that have counted. When he came to Hammond the members of his congregation were few and far between; in other places nearby they were non est. 4 It Is orly necessary to point out that at the present time there is no more flourishing a denomination ln the Calumet region than the First Church of Christ, and. Rev. C. J. Sharp has to be given a good share of the credit. There is nothing that will do the cities of the Calumet region more good than more churches. There is nothing that will make the people of these cities prouder of the region than the fact that despite the sin and woe extant, it is full of God-fearing, law-re6pecting, home-loving people, who are cheered on by the work of such men as Rev. C. J. Sharp of Hammond.

AN EXAMPLE OF BROTHERLY LOVE. Never was the delightful kinship between Gary and Hobart more splendidly exemplified than it was on Saturday when the members of one of the city's leading fraternal organizations were entertained by their brethren in Hobart, who, since the loss of the Gary lodge's home by fire, have exhibited the most kindly solicitude for their homeless brothers. The Gary fraternity is amply able to testify to the strength and favor of the Hobart hospitality, for a striking example of it was given an example that will not only knit closer the fraternity spirit between the two places, but will also bring them together in civic friendship. These bonds between Gary and Hobart are bonds of love and the relations between the two places may be

pointed out as an example to other cities in Lake county that are squabbling with each other. Brotherly love there is in this world in spite of the

pessimists, for it exists in Gary and Hobart, May the spirit spread.

AT LEAST LET US BE FAIR. Says the Shelbyville Republican: "In these days of determination to speak of and write mean things about the Payne-Aldrich , bill, it is extremely gratifying to know that the government's revenues are increasing at a surprisingly delightful rate, which fact the more pronounced republican advocates of free trade should notice."

No less an authority than Congressman Crcmpacker says that when a campaign of education is put under way to show the people that the Payne tariff bill, so abominably misrepresented by some of the so-called leading

papers, is not at all an iniquitous measure,., people will look at It in a different light. There are over 600 hundred reductions ln It from the

Dingley tariff 'and President Taft may be rightfully excused in declaring that he has endeavored as far as he was able to- carry out the promises

Somebody has said something like

this: The spendthrift believes coined money was minted ln a round shape so that it would roll eaaily. The miser believes that coined money was minted flat so that it would easily pile up. However that may be, neither miser nor spendthrift knows tbetrue meaning of money that it is a 'measure of values and a medium of exchange. The spendthrift cares little for his dollar, puts upon it a low purchasing power and cares nothing for value re
