WHAT IS THE STATE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. Never in the history of Hammond has there been such a 6torm of indignation Been as there la in the fta.cuv laet. -oeak in tvhlrh aiv men uf tiiranH

of debauchery in which a child told how she was worse than mistreated by these degenerates. Yet the men who ruined her are all at liberty. The people of Hammond demand that a grand jury be called by Prosecutinng Attorney Charles E. Greenwald at the next termof the Lake superior court to indict, if possible (and in the lace of most overwhelming evidence there is small doubt that it is not possible) these lewd and impudicious rakes who rob the kindergartenThe people of Hammond expect Mr. Greenwald to do his duty. - They expect him to see that when the grand jury is called, these libertines are brought to justice. ' They expect the state of Indiana to see that a married debauchee, now in Jail, who ruined a guileless and innocent fourteen-year-old child, is properly punished. ' These are the crimes that bring on lynchings and tar and feathers. It is not going to be possible to hush up these crimes. There are young men implicated in these cases who have vowed that if teey are arrested they will not shield some men who are trembling in their shoes for fear the whole truth will be told. THE TIMES proposes to watch this scandal with Argus eyes!

THE ART OF MAKING "FIRST VOTERS." There is a whole lot of misinformation being circulated in the state of Indiana regarding the foreign vote in Lake county. A good deal of it is inspired by the loosely written accounts which have been sent out by correspondents who have no idea what they are writing about, and such sensationmongers as the Indianapolis SunThere is no question that a great many foreign Americans have voted at recent elections who have acquired their citizenship through the efforts of politicians, whose only interest In them is their vote. This offense against the state has been committed by both republicans and democrats. It has resolved itself into a question as to which organization could get the greatest majority of the foreign voters. The republicans lined up most of this vote, in the recent state and national campaign and the democrats captured most of it in the municipal elections. The trouble Is with the naturalization laws, and until they are changed it may be expected that Issues, both local and state, will be settled by the foreign American electorate. They hold the balance of power. One of the most incorrect statements regarding the political situation in the state, as it is affected by the foreign vote in Lake county, appears in the Indianapolis Sun of recent date Editor Rudolph G. Leeds paper declares that every republican elected on the state ticket two years ago was elected dishonestly, through illegal and corrupt practices. After making this declaration the Sun demands that these republican officials resign. The article goes on to state that 2,000 to 2,700 foreigners were voted illegally, as is alleged to have been shown by the records of the immigration bureau. To speak plainly, the Indianapolis Sun lies. The facts are still fresh in the minds of the people of Lake county. Peter Lyons of Hammond made his famous trip to the offices of the Immigration bureau and if he came back with any proofs that a large number of foreigners were permitted to vote without having resided in Lake county, he failed to introduce this evidence at the Simon-Wickey election contest. Further it will be remembered that the whole question was threshed out in the courts at Crown Point and the democrats failed utterly in their efforts to prove that any appreciable number of republicans had been voted illegally. The democratic state committee had a legal representative present at the tria of this contestA record of the evidence that was taken at this hearig was then submitted to the state legislature in an effort to unseat E- W. Wickey, and even the democratic legislature refused to act In the matter and Wickey retained his seat. It is doubtful if a more thorough investigation was ever made, of the manner in which an election was conducted, and yet the democrats failed utterly in their efforts to prove that Wickey was illegally holding his office. In the face of these facts, which are still fresh in the minds of the people of Lake county, facts which can be proven with documentary evidence, the ery of the Leeds sheet that certain "republicans wero elected to office by fraud and by the illegal voting of foreigners, is nothine but cant.

However, as we have remarked before, it is the system that is wrong, and as long as there are 2,000 foreigners who can be enfranchised it is betor to make republicans out of them than it is to permit them to become democrats.

GARY SETS ANOTHER PRECEDENT. Few people realize the good that Is being done at the Emerson school these summer months, and it is surprising that more do not take advantage of the opportunities offered. It Is to the little ones that the most attention has been paid, and under Superintendent William A- Wirt's plan, the swimming pool and gymnasium are being kept open during the entire summer vacation period. Every dav many youngsters makd use of these up-to-date featurtiS. and any one visiting the school at any time of the day may see them at play The plan also includes recreation for the grown-up folks, for several evenings a week are allotted to them and only a minimum fee is charged foa few hours in the swimming pool. The day is now passing when school houses are boarded up for the summer. They are built for the people and by the people's money. Superintendent Wirt believes that the people who own them are entitled to their use at all times. This plan is an admirable one and will no doubt be universally adopted in a few yeara

POET PHILOSOPHER. Nine monarch followed in the gloom when King Edward journeyed to the tomb; nine monarchs walked, as in a dream enough to make a baseball team and cast upon King Edward's bier the futile tribute of a tear, And at his task the sexton sings (the man who digs the graves for kings): "Nine monarchs, in their brave array, are bending over Edwards clay; and does the silent sovereign care, or does he know that they are there? A nd can the tears of monarchs nine make those dim eyes of Edward's shine? And if they give their nine commands, can they bring life to those cold hands? Can all their armies and their ships bring laughter to those dead white lips? Can their nine crowns and sceptres nine, bring to the dead the life divine? Nine paupers at a pauper's grave, who claw their rags and weep and rave, can do as much to help the dead as those nine kings at Edward's bed." WALT MASON Copyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.

Quebec. July 31.-iTfienoatTng prison

Montrose disgorged its two unconscious captives, Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve, on the docks at Quebec today. At dawn this morning the American dentist, charged with the murder of his wife, and his companion, accused as an accessory, stood on the deck of the steamer and gazed with straining eyes toward the dim shores. They thought they saw liberty. Even while they looked a boat put out from the shore and touched the ocean vessel's side. A moment later manacles clicked about the dentist's wrists. Seeking to escape expiation of his alleged crime, he had sailed into the very shadow of the gallows. The arrest of Crippen and his companior. brings to a close the most remarkable flight of modern times. No episode lik it is embraced in the history of crime. turned home after a two weeks' visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Deer of Valparaiso.
