ANOTHER TRADITION SHATTERED. Some notable decisions, and vital ones at that, have been handed down In the halls of justice of Northern Indiana, Even those who have memories of short duration cannot fall to remember Judge Tuthill handing down from the LaPorte superior bench a decision that nightgowns are luxuries. And, of later memory, there still lingers the impressions that stick to the minds of many, the final ruling of that well-known jurist who has .said farewell to the bench. We refer to Judge Fitz of Gary who decided that a man has a right to beat his wife. Gary now stands In the scorching rays of the limelight once again by reason of her profound judicial rulings. Special Judge White has found that one man can kiss another man's wife without falling into any legal bogs as long as the lady Is willing. While the long arm may not reach the offender because the Indiana statutes lacks specific mention about cases like these, the court does not guarantee that the long arm of the angry husband will not get in some work if he finds it out. A few days ago a Gary husband found his wife and admirer vociferously kissing each other. In less time than it takes to tell the outsider was running for a drug store and Bhortly after both he and the woman were In the hands of the police. When the case came for trial the angry husband wanted to have the man who upset his family peace deported to a desert island. However, after searching high and low Judge White could find that it
was no legal offens9 for one man to kiss another man's wife as long as she liked it. Not only that, but the defendant's lawyer found that there is a law that provides for the punishment of angry husbands who beat up men kiss
ing their wives, so the husband was fined instead, and the kisser went free
So, husbands finding men paying marked attentions to their wives and who interfere by whipping the offender, are more apt to get into trouble
themselves if the wife has sympathy for the whipped one. Judge White's ruling will attract widespread attention and will untangle another weighty croblem that has long engaged the profound attention of every court iu
Indiana.
SAYS IT IS A WISE STEP. - The endorsement of Judge E. D. Crumpacker, of the Tenth Indiana dis
trict, for speaker of the house by the Indiana republican congressional nominees, is a good piece of political strategy, calculated as it is. to eliminate the so-called Cannonism Issue from the congressional campaign in this state, and at the same time constituting an appeal to state pride. Indiana has three times had the honor of the speakership. John C Davis was speaker before the war. A peculiar episode in his history was that after his retire
ment from congress, he served as a member of the Indiana legislature and
speaker of the Indiana house of representatives. Schuyler Colfax was the next Indiana speaker of the house, and later came Michael C. Kerr. Judge
Crumpacker is one of the really strong members of congress, of an extremely independent cast of character. In Indiana politics Le has always been a sort of free lance, without factional affiliations, and in congress he has oc cupied much the same position. He is probably as well qualified for the speakership as any member of the house of representatives, and because of his rather independent position. would be a formidable candidate for the post. The two wings of the republican party in congress could come as near uniting upon Judge Crumpacker as upon any other member of the house. Of course it is not impossible that the next house may be democratic, in which case floor leadership on the minority side would be the highest position to which any republican member could inspire.

CHANTECLER. My highbrow neighbor reads that play which treats of hens and dogs and hay, and comes to see men In my yard, where I am reading "Old Sleuth's Pard," and throws five kinds of fits, and cries: "This play is sane and sweet and wise! Since closed the grace o'er Shakespesr's clay, no man has written such a play! Delicious satire, humor true, end thought as sparkling as the dew, and all the elements that make a drama take the current cake the art of ancient Rome and Greece are in Ed Rostand's masterpiece!' Oh, gentle reader, can it be that I am full of egg-i-see? Is my large head a hollow shell In which the bats and tomtits dwell? Have I no sense, and is my hand fit but to pound cheap grades of sand? I ask these questions, for that play, concerning hens and hogs and hay, appears to me the dullest dope that ever made a reader grope, and vainly grope, for evidence of one stray 6lgn of common sense. If it's a sign of mental strength to find in that play's dismal length things good as old Bill Shakespeare said, I'm glad I am a leatherhead. WALT MASON.

OUR. RAPID AGE.
Last month Hamilton, the aviator, drove his aeroplane eleven miles in ten
minutes. And he complained that his
engine -worked poorly.
By the time you read this that record may have been broken several
times. This is the age of bird men.
And, as the slow going stagecoach
was superseded by the locomotive, so
the highest speeder the locomotive
will be considered a slow pace com
pared with that of the flying machine.
There are great possibilities In aerial
navigation.
Now the aeroplane must carry a
heavy engine and fuel for it. Some of
MAKE YOUR LAWNS BEAUTIFUL. Many persons in East Chicago complain of the thoughtlessness of owners of lawns, which they are endeavoring to keep green, in leaving their hose so placed as to make it impossible for pedestrians to have the use of the sidewalks. In walking down any of the better class of residence streets in this city, it is necessary to make freequent sorties into the street in order to avoid
getting drenched by the spray of garden hose, whose owners have not the time or the inclination to handle their hose themselves, and allow the fountains to be left for hours at a time regardless of the fact that the stream is playing over the entire width of the sidewalk. Tn the night time, when the hose is working fquietly, it is possible to be drenched before a pedestrian realizes that he is walking into a spray so directed as to bar safe use of the walk. While it is commendable for householders to keep their lawns in condition, it is questionable whether it is so, to do this by methods which preclude the use of the sidewalks for the purpase for which they were Intended.
STILL IN THE GAME. 1 am ready and eager to do my part as I am able in helping solve problems which must be solved if we, of this, the greatest democratic republic upon which the sun has ever shone, are to tee its destinies rise to the high level of our hopes and its opportunities. This is the duty of every citizen, but it is peculiarly my duty; for any man who has ever been honored by being made president of the United States is thereby forever after rendered the debtor of the American people and is bound throughout his life to remember this as his prime obligation, and in private life, as much as in public life, so to carry himself that the American people may never have cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their head.

Ashby, accused of killing Samuel Wad-

submitted the case to the court without calling he other witnesses. Mrs. Ashby testified that on the night of

We shall see the realization of that
prophecy.
Which leads you to ask what is to
be the moral effect of these things, Never fear.
The Almighty did not intend that man should fulfill his destiny as a
worm crawling on the surface of the
earth. As man has conquered land and water, so will he conquer the air. Also It is true that as the means of destruction multiply wars must diminish. The time is coming rapidly when nations no longer can afford to go to war. Never fear.

THIS IS MY 67TH BIRTHDAY. Sir Henry Howard. Sir Henry Howard, who has been prominent in the diplomatic service of Great Britain for many years, was born
Aug. 11, 1813. and entered the service in 1S65. Since that time he has was in charge of the British delegation at The Hague and was a conspicuous figure in the first peace conference held there. Sir Henry has been frequently mentioned as the probable successor to Sir James Bryce in the event of the latter's retirement from the post of ambassador to the Vnited States. He is in touch with American affairs, for he was an attache of the British legation at Washington in 1867, and in that year was married to the daughter of the late George W. P.iggs Of Washington.-
