RANDOM THINGS S FLINGS
WE ARE FROM MISSOURI. After the bit of wheat is sifted from the tares in the present democratic campaign argument there is in reality nothing to it but a great hullabaloo over the high cost of living. Stripped of all verbiage democratic orators commiserate with our women because they can't wear silk stockings and shed tears of sweet sympathy because we can't get a dozen links of sausage for two cents. It is time that the cost of living is high, but what remedy has the democratic party offered? The workingman is getting splendid wages and if he wants porterhouse steak for a nickel a pound he cannot continue to get
fifteen to thirty dollars in his pay envelope every week. You can't have
your, cake and eat It to. -The democratic party is of course the panacea for all ills. It admits
that. Bless the democratic party, if it were in power there would be no trouble of any sort any longer but some how the voter remembers the
disastrous democratic administrations of by gone years and he is a little
skeptical and we don't blame him.
The people of this district are hearing a good deal from that foxy
farmer-lawyer-banker John B. Peterson these days. Mr. Peterson holds up
his hands in holy horror when he thinks of the terrible plight this poverty
sticKen, aebt-riaaen, non-progressive starving country of ours is in as a
result of the fact that the democrats are not in power, but so far he has been unable to show where a democratic congress would have unguents for all these wounds inflicted on our bleeding land. ' It Is pretty hard to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. Thjey wont be as easy as they were in 1892. They bit off that year more than they could masticate and learned a lesson. As our old friend Jess Green puts it, we heartily agree that the cost of living is high but on the proposition that a democratic congress would prove a sovereign balm for every hurt THE TIMES is from the deepest Jungle in central Missouri. And we shall be badly fooled, if the people vote any other way on the eighth of next month. FOR A GOOD BASEBALL LEAGUE.
The baseball season is all but over, but with its expiration dawns a new era in the history of the game for Lake county and Northern Indiana, Recently, baseball as heretofore represented in the Calumet region, put off its swaddling clothes and assumed the proportions of a dawning league-
hood. The nucleus for the league was started in Indiana Harbor, and was started in good bands. The men who are to guide its destinies are business men of repute and standing, capable of interesting other men of the same order in other cities to be included in th elcague, in the project. This is as it should be. Baseball in the Calumet region has never had the backing that it would, had it been followed in more sportsmanlike fashion with less rowdyism to disgust the better element of fans. It is needed to render the local game the support of substantial business men, who will take care of their team in decent fashion financially, and whose acclaim amounts to something more than the most ardent rooting of the hoodlum fan element, who sit around the outside of the ball parks wherever there is opportunity for a free show, but would not let loose of a quarter or ten cents to buy a seat in the grand stand or the bleachers. With a league in possession of the field, there would be no "free shows." Good ball parks, properly fenced in and provided with the proper seating facilities will be established, and opportunity afforded to enjoy the game in comfortable fashion. And Crown Point should have a berth in the loague. Now the danger in starting a league, lies in the tendency to allow too many "cheap skates", to use a term somewhat more expressive than elegant, into the organization. The idea should be to keep the league strictly in business-like hands, for it is quite as much, if not more so, a business proposition, than it is a sportman's proposition, though without the latter element entering pretty fully into its support, the project would be a tame one. However, it is not necessary to admit into the inner councils, every follower of baseball can lay claim to having once raanaged a ball team in the cities to be included within the scope of the league. Business-like methods must -be employed in the management of the organization. Checks should be placed in escrow as . a forfeit on the part of any team failing to carry out its part cf the contract. It is not desired
to leave an opening for soreheads to "get even" for tome fancied slight or
grievance, by breaking things up in the middle of the season.
v ith business-like methods governing the management of the league, and only with such methods, can the organization hope to suceed. But with such advantages, it is bound to be a success. Indiana Harbor has set the cities of this region a- good example as to the manner in which a team should
be supported.

the words "Old Guard" will be completely absolete. - . INDIANA has begun to draw her breath again after Mr. Roosevelt's visit to the state. THEY are now selling cat felts for Greenland seal.

KERN , CHARGED BRIBERY, Lest you forget. - These are the charges made by John W. Kern, candidate for United States senator on the detrioaratic ticket, against United " States Senator B. F. Shively. They were made Dec 26, 1909, and published all over the country. "Forty-four democratic members of the legislature gave me pledges of their support their constituents required it." When I seemed sure of the nomination tje brewers suddently manifested a lively interest in the situation. , It vas proposed that the democrats, meeting in caucus, past a secret ballot.- I understood what that meant pledged member of the legislature could vote for the brewery candidate, whoever he happened to be, and no one would know it. Eight men were purchased and the second ballot went through. I received thirty-six votes and Benjamin F. Shively, atttorney for the brewers, was nominated. I think I know the names of the eight men who were bought up." Mr. Kern has repeatedly since then reiterated the damning charges. Since he was made the, nominee, he has been silent. Not a move for an investigation has been made. The democratic papers have nothing to say. More significant yet, not a word has been heard from Senator Shively asking for an investigation of the charge that sullies his honor and pillories him Wefore the country as the beneficiary of a great crime. x Kern is the man who is opposing Senator Beveridge. What do you think about the Kern senatorial scandal?

The recent action of the Miller town board In making provision for the
extension of Gary's Fifth avenue to the center of the town, is a piece of municipal legislation of considerable importance. In the first place there is no highway running across the north part of the county linking the eastern and western terminals. Secondly, it has been the lack of just such a path
cf communication that "parts of the county have been undeveloped.
It was but recently that the project was taken up to link Whiting and
Indiana Harbor by a direct road. As yet Indiana Harbor has no immediate connecting link with Gary and Gary has no road leading to Miller and Miller
Is innocent of roads leading to Porter county and the east.
Miller's latest act permits the extension of Fifth avenue from beyond Broadway in Gary to Lake avenue In the adjoining town a distance of some three and one-half miles. To the west of Broadway the steel corporation is pushing Fifth avenue to near Clark. What is now needed is available connections with Indiana Harbor and ultimately a road frcm Miller to Chesterton. Such a thoroughfare will mean automobile traffic across the northern part of the county. It will serve as the best binder for inter-city Intercourse and it will give the Porter county farmers direct access to the markets of Gary and other cities in the county. One of the reasons that roads have not pierced the northeastern part of the county is the fact that eight or nine years ago the big stretch between Miller and Whiting was one vast wilderness.

NOTICE that Frank McVeagh's wife Is going to give her husband a $250,000 residence in Washington for a Christmas present. Now Just leave this around where your wife can see it. - OH come now some of you demo
cratic brethren and say a good word for John W. Kern. What's the matter with all the democratic newspapers anyway? Don't they like poor Mr. Kern? WHEN Messrs. Winkler and Martin come to Hammond In that beautiful racing motor car, they should observe the speed laws. They can't get any votes on the wing while going fifty
miles an hour. . , REPUBLICANS who do not wish to see the state of Indiana gerrymanded for congressional and legislative purposes by the reckless and unscrupulous Taggart machine will hesitate a long time before they consent to the election of a democratic legislature in Indiana this year.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
"I'm so discouraged," said the sick lady across the street. "Here I've
been dieting and doing without candy and eating eggs, and taking exercises and cold baths, and doing everything else that doctor tells me to for
six months, and I'm nowhere near well. I don't believe he's much good."
The sick lady across the way broke down after six years of overwork.
For six years sh worked In an office where she had to work overtime thyee or four days in the-week. For six years she abused her stomach by hurried
breakfasts, followed by wild dashes tor the train and frequent cold and
and outdoor air. At the end of the time she broke down. And now. after
six months of hygienic living, she Is complaining because she is not entirely well yet.
It takes two or three days to tear down a house that It takes as many
weeks to build. Just why should one expect to reverse the ratio and build
up ones body house In about one-hundredth the time it took to tear It down. And yet,' how many men and women lose faith in their doctors because they can't accomplish that miracle. Does it seem exactly tane or reasonable or fair?
I heard a woman making a very extravagant purchase the other day. Or, rather, I heard her telling about it. It didn't cost her but fifty cents, but I think it was one of the most ex travagant purchases I ever heard about. This was the way of it. We were
on shipboard. The lady's 10-year-old son was sick and the stewardess had
advised castor oil. "Didn't he make an awful fuss about It?" some one questioned. "Oh, no," she answered cheerily. "I suppose he would have, but when he starts to make a fuss I always tell him I'll give him fifty cents if he will be good, so that's what I did today." Many things lose their value if they are bought. Friendship is one of them and obedience Is another. The woman who buys her child's obedience instead of receiving it as her due is making a most extravagant purcape, because she Is laying up trouble for herself by every cent she spends that
way. I was telling some one of the incident and my feeling about it.
"But I think It was nice to give the little boy fifty cents for taking any
thing so nasty as castor oil," she protested. "I don't see why he shouldn't
Neither do I. But that wasn't a reward. It was a bribe. He wasn't
