OLD PREJUDICE OVERCOME. That the people of Hammond have extended their horizon and are taking a broader view of their relations with the neighboring cities is being evidenced every day. Time was when a Hammond resident limited his sphere to the city of Hammond and an occasional trip to Chicago and knew little of what was going on in the rest of the county. In fact, Hammond looked with something like contempt upon the other cities of the neighborhood.
The Influences that have been at work bringing about this charge have ln a lot of p!aces:
been many, and with all due modesty THE TIMES must claim its share of
the credit. ' THERE were the customary Sunday

to overcome the sectional prejudices that had grown up to the end that the
cities of the Calumet region might eventually be welded together into a single

As THE TIMES circulation grew and its influence was extended an effort

that this paper not only printed foreign news, but accepted foreign advertis

TIMES circulates did likewise.
The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
I was ln a home the other evening where the whole family go about on
tiptoes with their fingers on their 11 ps, making any necessary remarks in awesome whispers, from 6 to 7.
Why all this hush and mystery? Why. because the baby goes to sleep at that hour, of course. I was in another home yesterday where the two big brothers were play
ing tennis under the bedroom window and little sister was practicing her scales ln the parlor and big sister was entertaining a group of swains on
the front veranda, while little mother was putting the baby to bed.
As she closed the baby's door and came smiling down the stairs to me, a
sally from big sister was greeted by a n uproarious burst of laughter from the swains, big brother started a new set with the loud voiced and triumphant announcement "Three-love," and little sister reached the loud pedal part of
her exercise.
"You don't mean to say that baby will go to sleep In all this racket?" I
demanded, ln amazement.
"Why, certainly," answered the little mother, serenely. "He will.be asleep
ln three minutes the precious."
"How can he?" "Why, just because he always has. He couldn't, of course, if he were trained to expect absolute quiet, but he hasn't been, so he can go to sleep und
er pretty nearly any conditions, and I hope he always will be able to."
Which of these two mothers do you think was the kindest and wisest? Of course, I scarcely need to tell you what I think. The man or woman who Is the least a slave to conditions and circumstances of this sort Is apt to be the mo st comfortable and the most efficacious ln this wolVd. "I simply cannot sleep well ln an y bed but my own," I heard some one say the other day.
If I felt that way it seems to me I' d upset the family to the extent of sleeping a night or two ln eevry bed i n the house until I had freed myself from that dependence upon condition. An author announces pride that h e cannot do good work unless he is seated at a desk near a certain window that looks out upon a favorite vista. I don't call that matter for pride. I call It weak-minded slavery to circumstances. I think that man aught to have his desk moved Into another room and break those chains, and make his power to work independent of conditions.
Do you remember in the "Hoosier Schoolboy," I thing it was the story of the boy who could not write unless he twisted a certain button on his coat, and how some of his enemies ma naged to cut this button off just before the examination day and the boy f ailed utterly because he missed the button? i That sounds rather absurd, doesn't it? And yet a lot of us have fetish buttons of one sort or another upon whose presence we let our comfort and facility depend. That first baby, for instance, when he grows up will have the fetish of an Inability to go to sleep unless there there is absolute quiet. Isn't it better when we find we ha ve gotten into such ways, to cut off the button ourselves and learn to recite without it, rather than to risk being utterly upset if it is unexpectedly cut off by circumstances?
Uncle Walt The Poet Philosopher
THE EXECUTION. He stood upon the gallows tree, hia eye devoid of fear. "I have the sheriff's leave," said he, to those assembled near, "to talk a while before I pass out of this world of crime, to sleep beneath the jailyard grass through all the years of time. And so, my friends, I'll now discuss some large and vital themes; the Pinchot-Guggenheimer fuss, insurgents and their schemes; I'll touch upon the postal banks, the tariff law review, and roast these conservation cranks who keep things In a stew. If Taft a failure or success? I'll weigh him In the scale " Then, with a signal of distress, the sheriff of the jail released a pair of fateful string the ghastly scaffold strained! The truth about those vital things will never be explained! WALT MASON. Copyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.

DEPORTATION BY A GARY JUDGE
As has often been stated before in these columns of daily historical
opinion the decisions rendered in Gary courts, if they are Bhort on legal
points, do not lack originality. It was only a few days ago that a special judge on the city bench gravely handed down a ruling which had no other
effect than that one man has a right to kiss another man's wife as long as

Countless other instances that have disarranged the legal precedents of

HERO WORS0IP. We are all hero worshipers. We admire our hero because there Is
something in us like that which we
admire in him.
The boy's early hero Is the police

cause there is something in his hero
that Is like something in him.
And so of the race.
My cave man ancestor made his hero
of the man who could crush the most
skulls with his club. And there is something of my stone age ancestor
in me, his heir.
Therefore the worship of the war

goes unsung.
But the time will come when we
shall build our monuments to the
heroes of peace, to the men and women who serve the race and sacrifice
for the race, rather than to the war
riors who roll garments in blood.
Some day we shall cease to admire
a Charlemagne, who made his special
ty that of killing men. and celebrate the virtues of a Pasteur, who by his patient laboratory discoveries saves men from such horrid deaths as that of hydrophobia. Some day an Edison will rank abov a Caesar. Some day we shall understand thai one David Livingstone, on his knees in Africa, praying for "the open sore of
the world," is worth a hundred Charles Martels, who hammered the Mohammedans; that the perils of a Paul and his labors are Incomparably greatergreater in sacrifice and patience and heroism than that of all your bloodletting generals. We shall see clearly, some day--That the Thirty Years' war was
r a mere skirmish compared with the
age long campaign great and good men have made against ignorance and superstition and brutality and poverty and the evils of political and social life. Some day The race of man will pull down tho

For then our heroes shall be like us only greater, nobler, better. And we shall be like them, but less ereat and noble and good.

If the old saying, that a calm precedes a storm holds good, then the present calm, which is one of the calmest calms every witnessed before a democratic gathering forebodes a storm of the stormiest variety. What looks suspicious is the apparent disinclination of the patriotic to have office thrust upon them. As yet, upon the democratic horizon there has not been a silhouetted and striking figure who looks like a possible wearer of the title of senator. . The same situation prevails with respect to the other officers, and if any of the statesmen are desirous of breaking into the public payroll they are keeping themselves ln the hazy mist. Once the curtain arises upon the stage the public is going to view one of the most thrilling political melodramas ever presented. This present quiteness means nothing but mischief. Some deep-dyed plots are under way and as the clocirTeeoTds the passing of the time until the denouement is reached, it looks like we will have to guess at the possible results.
