FOXY? OH NOT SO VERY. The Hammond city council elected a new member of the board of education the other night. The result surprised every one cot on the "Jnsldev" and there were mighty few on the "inside." That there is a number of poll ticians in Hammond chuckling over the fact that they put one over the com

mon people is well known. Perhaps they did and perhaps they didn't. Perhaps they were not quite eo foxy as they imagine. The old republican-democratic machine in municipal affairs is still, outside of a few creaking Joints, quite active, even if that little $500 deal" was not pulled off. There will be

some warm developments one of these

THE VISIT OF THE TAX MEN. t t If the state board of tax commissioners, which visited Gary, was not satisfied with assessments there, it failed to so indicate. The board confesses that it had some mistaken ideas regarding the valuation of manufacturing properties in the north end. It was the hogglshness of the Lake Shore Railroad company in a condemnation suit in the Lake county courts which started the trouble. It placed so high a value on a strip condemned for park purposes that the tax men immediately wanted to know if land was so valuable why it had not been assessed higher. The board seems to be satisfied with the explanation offered by Assessors Escher and McFadden why certain property was taxed at $800 per acre and others at from $3,000 to $5,500. It is believed that few changes will be recommended. Industries, corporations and private taxpayers are willing to pay on reasonable assessments, but they do not want to be robbed. Nor Is it right to the workingman or the farmer that industries should be permitted to dodge taxation.

lAPORTE HAS BROWN TASTE. The people of LaPorte woke up the other morning with, a little brown taste in their mouths, as a result of the peculiar construction of the resolutions adopted Saturday morning. The resolutions .were prepared by Ben Louthain of the Logansport Pharos, Ben McKee of the Lebanon Pioneer and Royal E. Purcell of the Vincennes Sun. There was more said about the meeting thirty years ago than the meeting in LaPorte. Just one sentence in a three-quarter column resolution was devoted to expressing appreciation of LaPorte'a hospitality. Not a word of thanks was given in the resolution to the M. Rumley company for the magnificent banquet, and yet special mention was made of Colonel Conn of Elkhart, who simply showed the visitors through his factory, and the South Bend Chamber of Commerce, who served

a buffet luncheon. Less haste and a the resolutions would have saved the Euch blunders appear. LaPorte Herald. WELCOME THE The people of Hammond will be

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

Unquestionably an ideal representa-, tive body. Such a body, If composed of men of unusual , courage, indifference, sympathy and high-mlndedness anxious to represent the people, and at the same time conscientious In their determination to do nothing that is wrong, would so act that there would never come the slightest demand for any change in the methods of enacting the laws. Unfortunately, however, in actual practice too many of our legislative bodies have not really been representatlbe; and not a few of the ablest and most prominent men in .public life have prided themselves on their ability to use parliamentary forms on their ability to use parliamentary forms to de feat measures for which there was a great popular demand. Special Interests which would be powerless in a general election may be ll-powerful In a legislature if they enlist the services of a few skillful tacticians; and the result Is the same whether these tacticians are unscrupulous and Inspired by the special interests or whether they are sincere men who honestly believe that the people desire what is wrong and should not be allowed to haye it. Normally a representative should represent his constituents. If on any point of real Importance he finds that he conscientiously differs with them he must, as a matter of course, follow his own conscience, and there he may not only perform his highest duty, but also render the highest possible service to his constituents themselves. ed and prevented George I Smith, 53 years old, a farmer residing two miles east of Brlghtwood, from leaping from the roof after he had already swallowel a quantity of parls green with suicidal Intent. The building is occupied by J. C. Dehn & Co., grocers. Teague was repairing the roof of the building. Happening to turn suddenly, he saw Smith, who was a frequenter of tha grocery, swallow the parls green, using some unknown liquid from another bottle as a "chaser." With a scream Smith started toward the edge of the roof, apparently bent on Jumping to the ground. Because of a previous despondent mood displayed -by Smith, Teague was quick to grasp the. situation and leaped on the would-be suicide, at the same time shouting for help. For several moments the two men struggled back and forth, many times standing ai ae edge of the roof, until Teague finally overpowered Smith. HEAT CUTS COST OF LIVING. Warm weather has caused so many people to get their meals at public restaurants and hotels rather than cook In the Intense heat that the price of meals has-been reduced. The eating houses at Elwood are now serving meals for 25 cents and lunches for 15, cents. Eggs have dropped to 11 cents a dozen and there is no demand for country butter at 18 cents a pound. One enterprising restaurant owner !s advertising a chicken dinner for 23 cents, a fan "to carry away" and a ticket to a local 5cent picture show. Thermometers tegistered 101 In the

But in such case he should not try to achieve his purpose by tricking his constituents or by adroitly seeking at the same time to thwart their wishes in secret and yet apparently to act so as to retain their good will. He should never put holding office above keeping straight with his conscience, and If the measure as to which he differs with his constituents Is of sufficient Importance, he should be prepared to go out of office rather than surrender on a matter of vital principle. Normally, however, he must remember that the very meaning of the word representative Is that the constituents shall be represented. It Is his duty to try to lead them to accept his views, and it Is their duty to give him as large a latitude as possible in matters of conscience, realising that the more conscientious the representative is, the better he will in general represent them; but If a real and vital split on a matter of principle occurs, as in the case of a man who believes In the gold standard, but finds that his constituents believe In free silver, the representative duty Is to neither abandon his on beliefs nor try to beat his constituents by a trick, but to fight fairly for his convictions and cheerfully accept defeat If he cannot convert hla constituents to his way of thinking exactly the attitude that the late senator Lamar of Mississippi took on this very question, and triumphed, and exactly the attitude that the late Congressman Dargan took at the price of his political life.

"Gracious, It must be raining candy," said a woman riding in an automobile driven by George Forsythe, of Franklin, when a sack of chocolates dropped Into her lap. Forsythe was driving the car In Franklin street, at Seventh street when Harry Williams, age ten, son of Mr. and Mrs. John I. Wlliams, ran Into It. II was riding a bicycle and did not see the car approaching the crossing. The boy was carrying a sack of candy and when he struck the automobile the candy flew through the air and alighted in the lap of one of, the women In the machine. The boy was not injured. , UNCOVER OLD CORNER STONE. Workmen who are remodeling the old Odd Fellows' building at Rushvllle, yesterday uncovered the cornerstone, which was laid in 1854..

eart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE.

MOLLIE S GUMPTION. Back in southern Ohio they wen known as Jim and Mollle. Now thej are Mr. and Mrs. of Pittsburg. Tbey were children of neighboring hill farmers and went to ecbool three or four months in winter and worked the remainder of the year, and they were in love witb each other, Jim built a log cabin on one cornet of his father's rocky acres and married Mollle, and they managed to get along fairly well. Mollle was ambitions. One day she said to Jim: "You were always good at books, especially arithmetic. You should be a civil engineer. Let's po to college and educate you." Which took Jim's breath. "How can I go to college? We have no money." And Mollle smiled and said, "Come on. let's go." And they scraped np barely enough to" pay their car fare to the college town. Which seemed a reckless voyage. But immediately Mollle got a Job as waitress In a college boarding bouse. Jim took care of furnaces, cut lawns and did all sorts of odd chores. At the end of six months they rented a cottage and opened a boarding bouse of their own. When the spring semester closed they had $400 In bank. That was more money than Jim could have made in five years on the hills. Before the second year was over a red headed baby came to their boarding boose, which complicated things to some extent But Jim succeeded in crowding four years' work into three. Three months before graduation day a Pittsbur? man offered any senior a job as draftsman at $60 a month. All refused except Jim. Mollle had talked with the man and looked him over carefully, and she said to Jim, "Take the Job." And Jim took it. The outcome? Five years afterward the Pittsburg man took Jim as a partner, nnd last year half the profits of the engineering firm were $27,000. Now, how did Mollis know Jim would make an engineer? Why did she take a long chance in going away from the farm? Why did she advise Jim to tnke the job at $00 a. month? Why. Mollle had gumption. . And that is one of the most valuable things in the world. Many women have it It is more than intuition. It is the prophetic faculty plus pluck. It is instinct coupled with daring. The feminine mind is wonderful In Its frultfulness when given a chance. If you are married to a Mollle who has gumption do as she bids yoiu TJra TIMES IS TRYING HARD TO MERIT - THE SUCCESS IT HAS ACHIEVED.
