WHY GO OFF HALF-COCKED?
When Detective William J. Burns announced to the world that he had
captured the prepetrators of the Los Angeles Times murders and scores of
others in various parts of the United States, the press of the country asked
that the accused be given the benefit of the doubt.
J. B .McNamara," his brother J. J. McNamara and Ortie McManigal were
.Charged with crimes more heinous than any since Harry Orchard shocked
the world with the recital of the murders that he claimed he committeed
The inclination was to believe Burns, on account of his reputation, when lie said that he had positive evidence of the guilt of those under arrest, but
the press of the country said, "Let us suspend judgment."
In striking contrast with this fair-minded attitude, when it would have
been so easy to have denounced the dynamiters, is the announcement that
the arrest of McManigal and the McNamara brothers is a frameup, a deep
laid plot against organized labor.
So when people rush into print with the firebrand exclamation that the
arrest o fthe men charged with the Los Angeles Times murders is a "frameup" and "A plot against organized labor," they are not as fair as the country et large that is willing to suspend judgment until the case goes to trial and
the evidence is heard.
THE FINE WORK OF A 'TREACHER."
The Rev. F. E. Hopkins, who with noisy clash of cymbal and blare of
trumpet, became pastor of a Gary church a year ago and who got more free advertising out of his pulpit than all the other good Gary pastors put together, has turned tail on Gary. In the vernacular of the street "he laid
down on the job." '
He didn't even do his trustees and congregation the courtesy to advise them, but simply quit, and in the Chicago newspapers bemoaned his fate and
rebuked Gary. Hopkins was paid a higher salary than any other pastor in
Gary. He reecived due consideration where he gave none.
The first intimation that Gary had of Hopkin's bleat was when it was printed in these columns. Dr. Hopkins' purported interviews in the Chicago papers have been copied in the metropolitan press of the. country and have done untold harm to Gary. The following is an editorial from the Indianapolis News of yesterday:
The Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins, who has resigned the pastorate of the Congregational church at Gary, is quoted as declaring that Gary is. "hell on earth." This must be somewhat disconcerting to the Gary boomers, who are celebrating the fifth anniversary of the founding of the city, and recalling that in the spring of 1906 there was nothing but the sand dunes, Bcrnb pines and jack oaks where the present city of twenty thousand now stands. Many may be inclined to believe that the reverend gentleman has overstated the case slightly. But, clearly, Gary thus far is a disappointment. The fifth anniversary observances recall to mind the fact that the steel trust promised to build the world's "model industrial city" on the Indiana shores of the lake. It was not only to have the finest and largest steel producing plant in the world, but the city to be created was to be a crucible in which a new model workman and worklngman's famtly were to be produced. There were to be no saloons.. As substitute for them were to be large club-houses where drinks' might be had, but where there were to be games and magazines and other dis
tractions to wean the men away from drink. For the children there were to be great playgrounds; for the wives and daughters and mothers of the workers there were to be parks. Vice was to be under the ban, there were to be great public libraries, and even bath tubs in every house to regenerate the workers. Gary has been no more noted Tor its steel plant than notorious for its saloons, dives and bad conditions. It . was predicted that it would have 100,000 population in five years; it has twenty thousand. For this, Gary is indebted to a preacher of the gospel to whom It has given its best. '

fir Louis Henry Davies, K. C, one of
the judges of the supreme court of
Canada, was born in Prince Edward
sland. May 4. 1845, and received his
education at Prince of Wales college.
Before making his advent into the
wider field of Dominion public life he
ad been honored with numerous po
sltions of responsibility in his native
Province. During the ten years be
ginning with 1S69 he served success
ely as solicitor-general, leader of the
opposition, premier and attorney-gen-
ral. He was elected to the Dominion
ouse of commons in 1882 and was re-
lected continuously until his appoint
ment to the supreme court. From 1S96
Wo 1901 he served as minister of ma
rlne and fisheries of Canada. He was counsel for Great Britain before the
international fisheries arbitration at
Halifax in 1877 and was also on the
joint high commissioners on the part
of Great Britain in 1898 for the settle
ment of various differences between
the United States and the Dominion of
Canada.
WHY NOT TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD. Those back of the Kern boomlet will doubtless be entirely sat- , isfied, despite the declaration of the senator that the effort is a joke in which he is not the least concerned, if it serves to put the Marshall boom completely out of business. The whole proceeding, including the attitude of Mr. Kern, emphatically shows there is pronounced opposition to the governor among Indiana democrats and that his opponents are willing to do almost anything to accomplish their end. " South Bend Tribune. ' There is absolutely no question about the opposition to Marshall. It is virulent, breaking out in first one form and then another. Why It should be so marked, however, is hard to understand when the fact is taken into consideration that Governor Marshall has repeatedly averred he is not a. candidate for the democratic nomination. Why not take Marshall at his word?
FORMER' Sen'ator Depew says he
can look back upon his career In the senate with recollections of a very good time. One long, sweet joke, as it

UP AND DOWN IN I-N-D-I-A-N-A
A MISSING BOY. A correspondent from Cedarville, N.
J., tells me a pitiful story of a miss
ing boy.
Four years ago Willie Frallnger of
that place, then aged seventeen years, disappeared from his home and has
not been heard from since.
Some said the boy had been murder
ed, others that he was kidnaped, but his mother believe he Is alive and somewhere in the west.
The mother is -grieving herself al
most to death for her boy.
She says he was a good son and
there was no apparent reason for his disappearance beyond the fact, that frequently he talked of going west to
make his fortune. And she wants the newspapers to print the facts so that If by any chance the eyes of her boy may read the lines he will know that his mother yearns for him day and night. Poor mother! v Thoughtless boy! If young Frallnger Is alive and should happen to see this talk, surely he will write home to his mother. He did not think. It sometimes happens that way. A heedless boy hopes to go to some Eldorado where he will make his fortune and then return, disclose his identity and surprise the whole community. lie does not consider the heartaches he leaves behind. Maybe something in this story will prevent some foolish boy from thus leaving home, or it may cause some boy who already has made that mistake to write home to his grieving and anxious friends. Boy! The days are lonely for the old folks at home, and the nights are long and drear. They tnlnk of you by day and dream of you at night. Write them a letter.
Tell the dear old folks that you are In the land of the living and ease their
troubled hearts.
Tell them where you are and what
yoa are doing. It matters not whether you are making your dreams come true or not. It is not your good luck or
your bad luck they care so much
about. They care about you!
KKLIT CROP NOT HURT BY COLD.
No loss of fruits and crops was re
ported from the section near . South
Bend as a result of the sudden cold
spell which settled over the vicinity re
cently. The continued cool weather of
April held back the buds of all kinds
of fruit and vegetation, and it will still be two weeks before they will be far
enough developed to be damaged by a
frost or a freeze. Fruit growers in the
peach and grape belt predict unusually
large crops this year ana hope to re
coup their losses of a year ago.

With Cobb, Bush and Crawford on speaking terms once more, the Detroit Tigers are a mighty hard bunch to beat. In the first ten games of the season Frank Schulte of the Cubs made twelve hits, including three homers, one triple and four doubles. Philadelphia fans are happy over the good showing of the Quakers and claim that Manager Dooln got the best of the trade with Cincinnati. Lajoie and Jackson are doing great work with the stick for Cleveland, but the Napa need pitchers in order to keep up in select company. With Pitchers Marquard and Raymond doing their share of the work, the Giants should stick pretty close to the top InVthe National league race. Ten put-outs in one'game for an old settler who started his major league career in 1894. Mr. Frederick Clarke, manager of the Pirates that's him. Pitcher Ward of the Brockton, New England league team, is the first heaver In the east to pitch a no-hit norun game this season. Haverhill was the victim. The veteran Jack Powell is pitching good ball for the St. Louis Browns. Jack has been In. the game a good many years, but is still there with the puzzling slants. Last year the Boston Red Sox copped Just three game . sfrom the. Athletics,but this season the Red Sox got a better start and have already taken three from the champions. Manager Jennings of the Tigers is saving "Wild Bill" Donovan for the warm weather games. When Old Sol sets fire to your celluloid collar is the time only when William starts things.
