PRESIDENT TAFT'S VISIT.
President Taft's timely Tislt to Chicago only emphasizes the fact that he
has never been more welcome-in the great middle west than he is at present. The stand. h.l3 administration has taken with reference to reciprocity, has
made the president exceedingly popular with both democrat and republican, with both Insurgent and standpatter. The president's policy in thl3 matter, it may be said, ages like wine and the more its features are considered, the
better it is thought of. Those who are standing in the way of the new eco
nomic relationship between the United States and Canada will be ground to pieces one of these days. An avalanche will overwhelm them and it will be
the most relentless avalanche ever known public opinion. -The president
of these United States has carried out his part of the program. He has

THE COTTON MAPLE SCALE.
The cotton scale has attacked the maple trees In Harrison park and if omething is not done to come with this practice it will destroy many of
the fine trees in Hammond's beauty spot. It was expected that the park au
thorities would be the first to discover this pest and would not only take steps to save the trees in the park, but would issue bulletins informing the
residents of the city how to spray their trees and save them from destruction. And up to date horticulturallst would take pride In solving these problems not only as they affect property In his custody, but for the protection of the
trees of the whole city. .
But, as has been remarked before, the present custodian of the park is
more concerned in feeding the birds In the public duck pond and in looking after that eye-sore of a chicken coop which his peculiar ideas of the city j beautiful prompted him to erect in full view of the street,' than he is about
tne destruction ci tne cotton scale or the eradication of the dandelion. Some steps should be taken at once to rid the city of cotton scale and if the
park custodian can not provide the formula of the liquid f pray that is used
and will not encourage the property owners to take steps for the protec
tion of their trees, the Hammond Business Men's association ought to make
it a subject of special inquiry, :

Up and Down in INDIANA
Tou all probably read in the newspapers a few months ago of the sensational shooting of David Graham Phillips, the novelist, by a, semi-sane crank. Have you also, I wonder, read any of the stories and essays of this author, which have been published in various magazines since his death? If you haven't, I think you should "you" meaning all American women, especially wives and wires-to-be. I'll tell you why. David Graham Phillips had evidently been studying the question, "Why is
j marriage a failure " very deeply, and
he had come to a conclusion. This conclusion is set forth in all of his later works. Whether it is right or wrong, I don't know, but It lectarlnly Is interesting and suggestive. This Is the sum of it: American women of the middle class are not doing their part In the partnership of married life. The average woman considers that she is bestowing a sufficient boon upon a man in marrying him and does not realise that she has Just as definite obligations after marriage as he. This, according to Mr. Phillips, is a totally wrong point of view. He considers that the woman should go about her business of running the home as
smoothly and successfully as possible, of getting the greatest possible effl-j clency out of the money supplied, of being a first-class mother and as at-' tractive to him as possible. Just as seriously as he goes about the business of earning a living, and that a failure on her part to do her duty is Just as flagrant as a failure on his part to support her. Here are a few quotations which Illustrate the point of view: "It Is painful to an American girl of any class to find that she has to earn her position as wife. The current theory, a tradition from an early and woman-revering day, is that the girl has dono her share and more when she has consented to the suit of the ardent male and has intrusted her priceless charms to his exclusive keeping. According to the same theory it is the husband who must earn his position, must continue to earn it. "The woman emerging from a girlhood of alarm lest she should never be able to achieve the married state
PARENTS LEARN SOW IS ITT rRISOX.
Sheriff Mountain Saturday received a
letter from Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Warren of North Wllkesboro, N. C, asking for
information regarding their son, Kufus
Warren, the Alexandria bandit, who Is
serving a life sentence in the Michigan City Prison for the murder of two Alexandria policemen last March. The parents of the young man state In their
letter that they Jiad Just learned of their son's predicament and asked the sheriff to give them the details and to advise them as to what steps to take to
secure a pardon for their son. It is not known how they let-ned to Warren's
predicament, as he frequently expressed j himself, while in the County Jail, as saved his train and passengers. The

physically, none the less though she concean mental deterioration under the cheap and lazy "culture" claptrap, and
physical deterioration under the paint.
powder and dressmakers' devices for
faking up a decently appearing body." After speaking of the difficulty the
undowered middle class girl has a find
ing a worth while husband, Mr. Phil lips concludes:
"The remedy? The independence of
the middle class girl her economic in
dependence. Not by means of the dow
ry or of the divorce with alimony; for
tne powerea or aumoniousiy aivorcea woman only fancies she is independent. But real independence, ability to do
things practical, useful, to perform
saleable services that sort of educa
tion. will make her fit to marry, and
worth marrying." Again In his novel 'Enid," the hus
band and wife who suddenly discover after two years of married life that they do not love each other, are dis
cussing the situation.
Says the man: "Tou may not realize it, but you are degraded by taking
money you do not earn.
" 'Ah,' and she laughed in mocking
scorn, you want me to earn my board
and clothes I -your wife.'
"He smiled amiably. T simply say,' he tossed the end of the finished cigar out of the window and rose, 'that In the future I'll expect as good service as I could get at a hotel for the same
mooey.' "
isow please ao not think I am saying that this is the only possible point of view on the American marriage question, and that the American wife
is always a shirk. By no means.
You and I and everybody know
plenty of women who bear their half,
and more than their half of the bur den.
But that the other kind of woman exists in the middle class and that the
accusations Mr. Phillips hurls at her have at least some truth in them, I do believe, and I contend that his idea of equal obligations has at least a suggestive germ of thought in it for all wives and wlves-to-be. RUTH CAMERON.

I ask that you please postpone my hearing until such time as I may be able to assure you that my counsel will be here." Judge Ellis did as was requested, and the prosecution only made a formal objection to the postponement.
