WHAT ABOUT IT, GOVERNOR MARSHALL? Evansville, Ind., Aug. 26. Kid Dixon of Baltimore, Md was knocked out in the nfth round last night at Rockport, Ind., by Jack Stevens of Terre Haute. The fight was to have been for ten rounds.
Richmond, Ind., Aug. 26. Ray Bronson and Jack Dillon have been matched to box ten rounds before a local club September 7. They will meet at 133 pounds. There is no prize fighting In Indiana, eh governor?
Well, perhaps there isn't, but for the past six months the newspapers
have chronicled as much prize fighting news from Indiana as any state. What about your brag that you were going to stop it, governor?
THE OLD SETTLERS' MEETING.
There is an event which is to take place at Crown Point next Wednesday which has a tender significance to a rapidly-dwindling band of Lake county
people. It is the annual Old Settlers' association meeting.
The real old settlers of Lake county are falling like the autumn leaves and the passing of the years sees them dropping off one by one and even
faster than that. There is something extremely pathetic about these meetings, where white haired old men and women, who have been in the county since its infancy, gather together to talk over old times. They know with absolutely certainty that when the next year's roll call is sounded, some of their feeble forms will be missing. There Is a bare handful of them now compared with what there was a few years ago, and it will not be long until all of them shall have joined "that immortal throng which moves to that mysterious realm" and the first old settlers shall be known only in memory. There is one man among this brave little remnant who has done more than all others to keep the association together and he is Rev. T. H. Ball of Crown Point,, now an octegenarian. To his efforts as an historian the younger generation is enabled to know the vicissitudes through
which those hardy trtoneers passed. Indeed, it has been his life work for
almost half a century to preserve the records of the old settlers. One of these days, his feeble form will pass away; his dimming eye will close for ever and his kindly voice be silenced in the grave. It will be possible only then to do honor to his memory.
Lake county, should do honor to him next Wednesday. Every old settler, every one to whom the traditions of the county are dear, every one who knows
this venerable sire should attend the old settlers' meeting and gladden his
heart by their presence. ,
The day should be made a tribute to him and to others who lived here
when Indians roamed through the countryside: when the birth of a white
child was an event; when a marriage or a death was the signal for the gather ing together of-people in times of hardship and danger.
Will it not be worth while to make a little sacrifice of time to attend this
old settlers meeting and show respect for the association?
RESULTS ANXIOUSLY AWAITED.
Whatever are the causes, whether it is Roosevelt touring his old realms or the auto races, the press dispatches from St. Paul, where the American League of Municipalities has been in session, have been both meagre and hazy. And of what there was Jhat came over the wires not a single para
graph told of the activities of the Gary delegation.
Inasmuch as the city is said to be footing the bill it was thought that Alderman Castleman, at least, would break into print or that Aldermen
Simiasko and Szymanski would be enertained by Governor Eberhardt at
soiree in the executive mansion. Then again, Tom Knotts, since he assumed
the mayoralty crown, has had a penchant for telling governors to go chase themselves, yet no accounts are available that the doughty Tom was even
near St. Paul. Gary was not advertised as she should have been.
If they did not advertise Gary-it may be that the aldermen have learned
some of the newest wrinkles . in civic affairs, for it must be known that fashions change in the conduct of municipal affairs just as they do in hobble skirts and marcelle waves. In fact, the Gary council is usually ahead of the game, and occasionally, when they relegate the state statutes to the scrap heap, it is merely because the legislature is considered a set of backwoods blockheads who make laws that couldn't possibly apply" tp a modern city like Gary. If it is true that the city fathers have become imbued with some of the latest council fashions the next aldermanic gathering should be a veritable feast of reason. Mr. Castleman will undoubtedly lead the onslaught on the old styles and from henceforth we can expect the Gary city council to be conducted after the atest and most approved plans.
RANDOM v THINGS a FLINGS
LABOR MEN QUESTION DEMOCRATIC BOSSES. For whose benefit is the democratic party being conducted? Is there but' one question of party fealty. Is there but one class of business and but one aggregation of people that the democratic party is looking after? Are all other classes to be the "goats" for the benefit of class interests? Who authorized the democratic state central committee to make any class of business a "state issue" and read everybody else out of the party who does not see the "paramount issue"?
Are the farmers and the laboring people to be cast aside and "whoop
'er up" for the grand old democratic party without regard to who the com
mittee is tied to? The people want to know who owns the democratic party and the republican party, for that matter, They want to know who
is driving and which way they are going. '
Last campaign the democratic party promised the laboring men pro
gressive legislation, and when the legislature met they offered them a full schooner and Sunday baseball. Does the democratic state central committee think there are no serious matters to be looked after? Do they take all laboring men as the offscourings of earth who think more of a gin fizz than they do of their families? Will Sunday baseball purify the air of the factory or protect life and limb In the mine? - .-. - , r Harmony cannot be brought about by excluding all the Important and serious matters of life and making the test of fealty one single question.

OUT OF DOORS. When I have lived a few more years where city noises rise, where
buildings stand in rows and tiers, and smoke obscures the skies, I'll seek me out a hermitage, a place of grass and trees, and there I'll write life's final page among tha bird and bees. Among the bees and birds I'll dwell,
remote from clanging town, and chase myself through grove and dell, and
watch the sun go down. I'll seek the cowslip and the rose, and lie in new
mown hay, exulting in the breeze that blows from islands far away. I'll
watch the little Iambs perform their gambols on the lea, and guard the chickens from the stormah, that's the life for mel This thing of work
ing at a desk, in shacks that scrape the skies, and using language pic
turesque concerning hungry Mies, is not the life for man ordained, 'tis but
the treadmill's toil; how lucky he who has attained close quarters with the soil! He revets in the rain that pours upon the fragrant sod; his heritage is out of doors, and there he visits God. WALT MASON.
