view to better economy was adopted.

four democrats joined the republicans In voting for the final passage of the bill. The democratic substitute for the bill of the majority was

GUARD AGAINST OVER-INFLATION.
The people of Hammond should guard against the tendency to raise the price of their property to a figure that will discourage the Investing public
and make It seek elsewhere for a location for homes.
There is an economic law which governs the price of .. property and vioi - v i.n sura tn r.rini? about a reaction. That reaction Is
uonularly known as the ."slump" which usually f oltows a boom.
ThA man whn nata il.500 for a lot and $2,500 for a home may safely
estimate that his rent Is costing him at least $40 avmonth in Interests, taxes
insurance and depreciation.
Consequently.lt can easily be seen that If the price of desirable resi
dence lots is raised above that figure the point is reached where it may be it yet

Judge Gary will always be welcome in the metropolis which bears his

his annual visits here and Gary was but an infant city on the sand hills.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt called attention of the English the other day to the fact that nothing Is too unimportant for him to notice. He has for many years, given a lot of people over on the other side the Hea that he deslreB to have a hand in everything that Is going along, no matter whether It Is running a spelling school or the nation. In England the other
.day he wr.s in an elevator and noticed a man wearing his hat. Mr. Roosevelt glared at the unfortunate Englishman, Bhowed two rows of ivories and bellowed: "Take off that hat." Whether the man removed his chapeau or not, the dispatches do not state. Mr. Roosevelt gets on one's nerves sometimes. If the Englishman wore his hat in the elevator, he might have done it abstractedly. It was not respectful to the ladies for him to do it and not justifiable, but with some propriety we venture to ask whether it was Mr. Roosevelt's business what he wore or did not wear. Had Mr. Roosevelt given the command in some American elevators, he might have been consigned to a certain place where it is Impossible to keep Ice in the refrigerator, but the sight of the Teddy's teeth were undoubtedly terrifying to the timid Briton. How would It be to give Mr. Roosevelt the title of "Royal Kuler and Arbiter of Everything" and be done with It?

WHERE ARE THE FIREBUGS? While business In most lines is enjoying unprecedneted prosperity, there Is one profession that Is experiencing a season of inertia, which must be
discouraging to these who would fain follow it. This is the profession of firebug. What has become of the Indiana Harbor firebugs, anyhow? Where a
hort while ago fires blazed merrily in every side of town, where Chief Doherty and his men had a hard time finishing with one blaze in time to re
spond to the call for the next, the department now is sunk In a condition
hordering on innocuous desuetude. Pitch and seven-up are beginning to pall,
and even quoits have lost their charm. What has become of the fires, anyhow? Why has the festive firebug lapsed into Idleness? Can it be that he has taken warning by the fate of Pete Doppo and his colleagues In arson? It would appear In the absence of any other plausible excuse, that such was indeed the case. There nothing, after all, that tends to the abatement of crime,. like a good healthy, full-sized "horrible example."

JUST COMPARE THE PLATFORMS. The Lafayette Courier takes exactly the same " view of the democratic platform adopted at Hammond as did this paper. It says: "The platform adopted at Hammond will have to be accepted for campaign purposes only. The last national democratic platform declared for free lumber, yet half the democratic senators voted for the highest duty proposed a duty Increasing the house rate. The present platform, by implicatiin, at last, calls for free Iron ore; yet nearly two-thirds of the democratic senators voted for the highest duty on iron ore. Excessive duties which even protectionists could not tolerate many democratic senators voted for, and nearly every increase of rates got a democratic vote. So the voter would do well to contrast the platform as adopted with actual democratic performance? In tio mattf
