"WHAT THE GARY ELECTION CASES REVEAL. The trial of the Gary election cases has progressed far enough to enable observer to get a pretty fair idea of conditions In Gary during the last general election. It Is a long train of events that leads up to the stirring scenes last November. In the proceeding city election Mayor Thomas E. Knotts demonstrated "what "strong arm" methods could do in influencing and intimidating the voters. There are well substantiated storie3 to the effect that scores of republican ballots were thrown out because they had boen mutilated by marks made by bits of graphite set In rings. The voters were threatened and cajoled and Knotts was elected mayor of Gary by a majority of less than 100. When the state elections approached the republicans determined to give Gary more attention. They knew of Knotts' ambition to become a figure in state politics and they knew that his only hope of attaining his ambition was to place the normally republican city of Gary in the democratic ranks. .

Knotts was playing for big stakes. a3 KnottB thought they would be, the

party might have saved the democratic ticket from defeat just as F. Richard Schaaf saved part of the state ticket during the proceeding national election. The republicans knew of Knotts "anything to win" tactics and plans were laid to combat them. Unfortunately, as the evidence In the election cases showB, some of the republicans, in some instances,

resorted to exactly the same tactics that Knotts had been employing. That was their fatal mistake. Knotts' methods were rapidly coming into disrepute and he was losing his hold on the situation in Gary. Why, under these circustances, the republicans resorted to the same "game" is unknown and was due to a very obvious mistake In judgment on the part of those who had the Gary situation In hand. The criticisms of SherifT Grant however are wholly unwarranted. Grant went around with his life in his hands and he would have been killed a dozen times on election day had he not shown his bravery and the fact that he could riot be bluffed. It la natural that the jury, after reviewing these facts, should have Bald, "Dog Face Charley" and the rest of his Ilk are no worse than some of the workers the republicans had in Gary. It Is natural that the Jury should have made the common mistake of saying that two wrongs make a right and freed the defendants on trial. That Is a sample of Jury justice. But the big overshadowing Issue is not settled in the minds of the people. Thomas E. Knotts Is the original exponent of the "anything to win" tactics in politics. It was he who brought about the condition of affairs that resulted in the disgraceful election riots In Gary. The jury may free every man now under indictment in Gary but Knotts has not yet been acquitted at the bar of public opinion. Too much is known of his methods. High priced lawyers may smooth the way for him but he is not vindicated.

THE FARMER If you want to make a farmer draft him for two or three weeks' jury farm to look after at this busy time of to be used in the drawing of juries as " Jury service works material hardship service is the source of serious financial puts it: "The jury business is getting We sit in a case, hear all the evidence

Of the case, we have just heard. Why tte first place and save our time and

Now-a-days, as in the recent Gary shooting cases at Valparaiso, it looks as

if the juryman is the court's goat. jueer proposition."

WE DESIRE to call attention of Postmaster F. R. Schaaf of Hammond, to the fact that the steps of the Trenton N. J., postofflce are to be changed, being unsuited to the use of women wearing hobble skirts.

THE WHIRLIGLG of time promises one of these days to give every other jitizen of Gary a place on the park board.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS

ANYBODY know, what has become of Charles Pltzle of East Chicago? HAVE you sent in your little bit towards Mr. Taft's silver wedding anniversary service yet? ONE, good rule for autolsts to follow is never to try to throw a thrashing machine off a county road. . ' IT is clear by this time that the U. S. Steel Corporation has nothing toconceal. It Is too blamed big. BE careful of your kimonos when you walk on the lawn. Weather man says another hot spell is on the way. COOK gives 15 ways to cook asparagus. We have already counted up 17 ways in which we have seen it eaten. WE were told that a mixture of buttermilk, and horseradish will remove freckles. Guess we will keep the freckles. BEAUTY expert says the best looking girl should be small. Sure, the bigger the girl the heavier the strain of bliss. NOTE by gaeing Intently at the cut of Senator Lafollette that it Is about three laches pompadour and four inches face. IF East Chicago thinks she can pull off prizefights without any pickpockets, we are perfectly willing to have her try. THERE is one consolation, Dog Face Charlie will not be employed to shoot anybody at the coming Crown Point election. PREACHER says that summer resorts are responsible for a great deal of domestic infelicity. Well that's alf they are for isn't it? THE Benate need not be so fussy about its dignity. Look what's going on in England! It makes senate dignity look like old boiler plates. LOUD humming of 17 year old locusts is said to be heard in the distance. , Why not hitch a lot of them up and run them as a street concert band? WHITING woman says If her husband doesn't quit messing up the house by following THE TIMES swat-the-fly advice she is going to ask for a separation. WE don't feel a bit sorry for the Tobacco trust and don't care if the attorney general does get busy. That last piece of rope we had certainly was fierce. JASPER county has a lot of mad hogs, afflicted with rabies. Some of them were on the roads near Rensselaer during the auto caravan to and from Indianapolis. ANDREW Carnegie says that friend ship is the true test of sport. Yes, ever try, Andy, to borrow five blues when you are "sitting in" and give the hailing sign of distressEXCHANGE says woman has no sense of humor. Real truth Is that she has too much politeness to laugh every old time her fool husband does something ridiculous. CHICAGO proudly announces that on a hot day it consumes a million gallons of beer a day. Perhaps it is another reason why there are so many deaths there during a heated spell. THE Hammond baseball team promises to play better ball. Don't care if the team threatens us with better ball, by the nine gods of war, as long as it materializes. SEE that a woman has been badly burned by the explosion of a fireless cooker. Some of these new Inven tions are great things in the lnven tor's eyePEOPLE who insist upon laying the burden of their troubles upon other people's shoulders deserve to have their troubles multiplied and generally get what they deserve. ' CONVENTION of appendicitis vic tims was held in the east the other day. Might be good thing to pull off a Scarlet fever party in Hammond and give a prize for the kid showing the biggest fever spot.. WE do not envy John Hayes Hammond's nervous attack from too much excitement at the coronation. It is nobody's fault but his own for he could have gone' fishing and bad a great deal more fun.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. TEE DYNAMITE OF SIN. Tears ago somebody drilled a hole In a rock near a Massachusetts town and placed a charge of dynamite therein. For some reason the charge was not fired. Years passed. Gradually the soil filtered into the hole In the rock, and the moss grew over it and the grass concealed It- It was an innocent appearing place. Then the unexpected happened. A man and a boy were working over the spot a few weeks age. The boy happened to strike the rock with a hammer. The charge exploded. The man was mortally Grounded and both hands of the boy were blown lnte fragments. The dynamite awoke. It was hidden away and men had forgotten all about it, but it was there, and it had not lost its power. The Immediate lesson of the incV dent is the need for greater caution la the handling of dangerous explosives. But also there is a moral significance, in the explosion of the bidden dynamite. And that lesson is this: Beware of the hidden sin. Beeanee yon may hide It never se safely from the sight of men; you may cover It over and it may fads from the general recollection; you may grow over it the mosses of concealment, but some day, mayhnp whes you least expect, a hammer will strikt the reck, and Then? But yon protest there is pardon. Surely there is pardon. But there 1 po salvation from the consequence of wrongdoing none! Yon can no mors escape from the results of a wrong act than from the resnlts of putting your hand in the fire. Sin is dynamite. Fllde it, and some day the hammer of destiny will strike the rock. There will be a flash, a noise, and somebody's contentment will be destroyed; somebody's hope will be shattered. "Be sure yonr sin will find you out." Macbeth understood. He realized that "even handed Justice commends the ingredients of our poisoned challcs to our own lips." Therefore it is better to look the consequences of your evlldoing fully In the face. It Is better to stand up and take yonr punishment. It Is better to know than to fear and wait And better still Ware the dynamite of evil! No rock la strong enough to hold it It will "have Its own. though it rend the foundation stones of the eternal hills. failure to return caused people to believe that Poole had disposed of him. SrARROWS BllLD I.N WHISTLE. When the engineer of the water works at Ellwood tried to sound the alarm a few nights ago for the first flre that had occurred in two months, he found the whistle would not blow. Investigation showed that English sparrows had taken possession of the whistle and there were four complete nests built in 'the copper cylinder, three Of Which were filled with eggs and the fourth was crowded with young birds. The eggs and birds were cooked by the steam that was turned into the whistle when the cord that opens the steam valve was pulled. PEItU HAS $40,000 FIRE.
