FOR THE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP. Never In the history of Lake county has been Buch a local interest taken In the great national game of baseball as there Is at present. There Is not a town or city in tbe county that hasn't a baseball team better than it has ever had before in its history. Indiana Harbor, Crown Point, Lowell, Gary, Hammond, Whiting and Hobart each have baseball teams in the field that are exceptionally strong and able to vanquish the majority of the

strongest Chicago semi-professional teams. An uhprecedented rivalry among these teams has taken place and It has resulted in a great deal of ; bitterness which "promises to grow very heated as the season changes. Each of the teams, by reason of its conquests over others, has claimed championships and not one of. them has a right to these claims which are specious and fooli6h. There is only one way to settle the question of supremacy among the teams of Lake county and that Is by a series of games to settle the question for once and all. There is no athletic event which could be arranged which would arouse as much attention and stir up as much interest among the baseball fans as a county championship series. No one team can claim the supremacy legitimately until it has battled with all its rivals and the team to come out of fray unbeaten would be entitled to the honors that all are now seeking- A so-called championship series is now being waged between Crown Point and Hammond. No matter which team wins it has no right to call itself the champion. Neither team has played Whiting nor Indiana Harbor and even though trie winner did play either of these nines, there are other nines in the county which could rightly dispute the so-called championship claimant. Let the managers of the team3 get together and promote a series of championship games to be played in different parts of the county, the final games to be played at the place easiest of access, and the interest taken

in the games would be unparalleled. The box receipts would be enormous and the series would be most profitable. The umpiring, of course, must be left to professionals, brought from outside the county, so that no charges

cf bias or prejudice could be brought.

THE TIMES would only be too glad to promote such a championship

series and will be pleased to hear from all Lake county baseball team man agers and fans regarding such a proposition.

Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE.

KEEP YOUR CHILDREN OFF THE STREET. Keep your children eft the streets. The worst habit a young boy can form is that of loafing around the streets at night. If this be true, with regard to a young man, may it not even more truthfully be said of young girls of tender years who are seen constantly on the streets at night? There are many such cases in this city among the younger boys and girl3- If you would take the trouble to investigate you would see these self-same girls and boys on the streets every night. It is a rare occasion that they spend an evening in the quietude of their own homes. Hammond and Indiana Harbor has within the past two weeks had shocking examples of these truths. It is at these times that a boy or girl casts their lot in slippery places when at any moment they are liable to fall from grace.

All the good and noble lessons taught to them by their mothers are

there forgotten and nullified. They learn nothing that is good but everything that is bad. The boys and girls who spend their evenings within the .sacred precincts of their homes will fill the higher positions In life while those who run the streets will fill penitentiaries, alms houses and lunatic asylums. Parents who are responsible for these broken laws of decency, will have broken hearts, and bowed heads in the awakening years that will inevitably follow. This is a serious question for parents to consider. Father, are you setting your boy or girl a bad example? Are you on the streets at night instead of being at home? Where is your boy and girl tonight?

FINANCIAL calamity like a physical ill Is largely a state of mind after all Is said and done. PERHAPS if Mr. Bryan comes to Indiana he may find out the names of those eight bribers. . e

WHY PUNISH THE CHILDREN? The other day I saw a poor little kiddie, the daughter of a foolish mother. In mnch misery. It was a warm day. The little girl's hair was crimped by tight braiding and there were big white bows. She was done up in silk and lace. Upon her head was a heavy, overtrimmed hat, and dainty white slippers were upon her feet. And this for a play costume! A few paces down the street I saw another ' little one, the daughter cf a sensible mother, who was having an excellent time at play. Her hair had been loosely braided.

She wore a plain, serviceable gingham

frock, a light straw hat and tan san

i dais.

The poor little dressed up thing with

her expensive frock and val insertions and must not get dirty slippers was

being sacrificed on the altar of some

mother's silly vanity.

Did you ever note the wistful look

on the face of one of those bedizened mites as it watched other children at

play?

The other youngsters In their plain

clothes are having a good time, and the fixed up kid looks on and yearns

to join the happy group. She Is de

barred by fear that she may soil her

clothes.

The suffering of the child is worse

when he happens to be a boy.

Not long ago I witnessed a revolt by a youngster with red blood In his

veins.

His fond and foolish mother had

dressed the young hopeful in immacu-

"THIS IS MY 87TH BIRTHDAY" , Gerrlt J. Keilen. Dr. Gerrit J. Kollen, one of the prominent leaders and foremost educators of the Reformed Church In America, was born In the Netherlands,

August 9, 1843. As a youth he was

rought by his parents to America and

was educated at Hope College, Holland, Michigan, from which institution he graduated In 1868. In 1871 he returned

o his alma mater as an Instructor. In

878 he became a professor and since

1893 he has been president of Hope

College. Dr. Kollen has a wide reputation as a churchman and educator and for many years he has been one of

the leading members of the national board of education of the Reformed Church in America. In 1906 his edu-

atlonal work in behalf of the Hol

landers in America was recognized by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands,

who made him a knight of the Order of

Orange.

THE STRAIN HAS BEEN AWFUL. Thanks to Mr. Rowley, the alderman from the Second ward, and his near neighbor, Mr. Feuer, whose constituency rambles at large from Clark

road to the Miller borders, the city fathers of Gary are to have a two weeks' vacation- That is they will not meet on two successive Mondays. No doubt this bit of Intelligence will come as a bit of relief to the already over shattered nerves of many of the good burghers of Gary. They In their anxiety have secretly shed many a liquid madrigal into the lacrimatory fearful least our statesmen should over-work and consequently overlegislate the community. The Roman senate in all its glory never failed to take a vacation- Our own congress adjourns when the electric fans begins to whirl, the common councils of New York and Chicago meet not for two moons in the dog day3 and that effervescent institution, the Illinois legislature, has adjourned on cycles at times. v Perhaps the brevity of the recreation of the Gary statesmen is due to their anxiety to keep the ship of state from being dashed on the rock of Sycilla and Charybidis, but whatever motive induced them to cut it short should be admired. In the meantime while the venerables are pursuing earthly joys fora fortnight, the common people can rest assured that this slight intermission will serve as a check for over legislation.

do all we could to make it pleasant

for them. HILL says that business is hampered by politics, but he was not the first to make the trite remark nor will he be the last. WHAT'S the matter with having a business men's picnic and everybody taking a half day off and have all the stores close? SOME of these pseudo-insurgent papers would help the party a good deal

more by reading people into it instead

of out of it.

She sent him out to play and doubtless had given him many warnings

about soiling his clothes.

The little fellow, every inch a boy

went around the square and as soon

as he was out of the range of his

mother's eyes went on a little ram

page. In a few minutes he was

sight to behold. But he was having

the time of his life.

Could you blame the little rebel?

Sensible mothers will not be' very particular about the clothes of their

children in vacation and during hot weather. They will save themselves trouble and vorry and expense and the children much suffering by dressing the youngsters plainly and simply and turning them loose. What have the children done that they should be punished with the curse of fine clothes? When the proper time comes in their lives they will take to frills and furbelows without suggestion. Why punish them now?

GROWING OLD. Your eyes may fail and your limbs grow weak, and the blood In your vtins run c6ld; deep lines may furrow your shrunken cheek, and your heart, that was strong and bold, may do its work with feeble beat; the road may weary your stumbling feet; you may sigh for friends that you'll no more meet but that isn't growing old. The years may number four score, or more, that over your head have rolled; you may hear the wash on the other shore of the waves that are dark and cold; while your brain is keen and your soul is strong, and your heart is full of a hopeful song, you still are one of the youthful throng, and years will not make you old. When your voice is harsh and your words are mean, as you sit by the fire and scold, and your mind is fat and your heart Is lean, and your thoughts are blue with mould; when you bring to the breasts of the children fears, and bring to the eyes of the women tears, it is not needful to count your years we know you are growing old.

SUGGESTION FOR CHARITY ORGANIZATION. With fuel as expensive as It is, and with recollections not yet obliterated of the suffering of many poor families during the long and hard winter of 1909-10, it is painful to reflect on the vast number of bon-fires that are blaz!ng along the rights of ways of the various railroads, under repairs, that enter this region. These fires are fed by cords upon cords of ties which as foundations for the iron ways have passed their usefulness, but which would nevertheless still make excellent stove wood. It is now little pest midsummer and the apparent value of the wood thus destroyed is minimized, yet persons who are not oblivious to the future, cannot help speculating on the amount of comfort to the poor, that is being thus ruthlessly destroyed by just one or two of the railroads entering Indiana Harbor, for example. It would appear that If some of the churches, or other reputable charitable organizations, approached the railroad officials in the right way, it might be possible to get this waste at small , cost, where rail

roads are putting in repairs, and thus save a great deal of suffering . and

misery during the cold months that are In store

and once in thirty years only that's

just now during the triennial Templar

conclave.
