Sara Bernhardt has concluded another "farewell tour" of this country, during which she traveled 25,000 miles and gathered in $850,000.
RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
THE PROPHET OF FILTH. The gray-haired and concupiscent rarn, masquerading under the name of See, now on trial in a Chicago court, has at last been exposed in his true light. The mask has been ripped from this blasphemous creature who sought in his "Absolute Life" merely a vehicle for the lusts of his own flesh. See is but one of the modern products of the latter-day Gormorrah Chicago. He is a representative type of the libidinous male who preys upon halfbaked girls and women under the cloak of religion. He Is a social blight whose dcctrines run in the groove of charlatanry and filth. See's establishment and free-love school is but one of many that have flourished In Chicago. There are others just as bad. It is a matter of deep regret that such as he should over have to be brought into court room. He would be better wearing a rope collar and dangling from a hickory tree. 1 - . THE ETHICS OF JOURNALISM. Journalism as a profession has its unwritten code of ethics and there is no class of professional men in the country who are so loyal to the ethics
of the business as newspaper men. Some of the rules of conduct and practice that are held inviolable by newspaper men are the following: 1. Never betray the source of your information. It Is your duty to protect your informant from any criticism that might possibly be made of him for giving out the "story." 2. Never quote a man verbatim unless he understands that he Is talking for publication. When you commit him to the use of certain words in the expression of his opinion he has a right to know that he is being interviewed. 3. Never betray a confidence, properly imposed. Knowing that newspaper men make this a matter of professional ethics there are a number of people, whom the reporters come to know, who will attempt to prevent the publication of an item of news by taking the reporter into their confidence. The reporter soon icarns who these people are and avoids their persistent efforts to tie up a legitimate item of news for their own personal benefit. But when there is a good reason for respecting a confidence, when it is In the interests of the community and when it Is apparent that the imposingof the confidence is not the trick of a gagger, the reporter may be absolutely relied upon to keep a secret. When John E. Fitzgerald and F. S. Betz decided to negotiate for the purchase of enough West Hammond property to protect Homewood from obtrusive neighbors, Fitzgerald took the press of the city into his confidence. He pointed out that advantage that would come from the purchase of the property and showed clearly that a premature publication of the story would seriously handicap the agent who was buying the property. Fitzgerald did not altempt to fool the editor by telling him part of the story, but explained the whole project from start to finish.
The result was that the editor"dtd respect the confidence that was imposed in him. And the respecting of that confidence subserved the in
terests of the community as a whole. John E. Fitzgerald says that In all of his years of activity In politics in Chicago and his later activities In the business world, by which he was brought into close contact with newspaper men, he has never known one to break faith with him and violate a confidence.
An exclusive story, known 'as a "scoop" among reporters, is the chief
object of his activities. Consequently he is reluctant to pass up the opportunity to write one. ' But if the interests of the community or involved or he right of the Individual would be jeopardized by the printing of that Btory the reporter may be relied upon to forget it.

THIS IS Mt COTH HI RTH DAT. John DtUea. John Dillon, the Irish parliamentary leader who recently suffered severe injuries in an automobile accident, was born In Ireland, June 55, 1851, and received his education at the Catholic University of Dublin. Mr. Dillon la one of the fighting chiefs of the Irish nationalists and he has been frequently in trouble ever since he succeeded Justin McCarthy as leader of the antlParnellites In 1896. He has been in parliament since 1880, and In 18S8 was sentenced to six months imprisonment for taking part in the "Plan of Campaign" movement in Ireland, but he only served three months In jail, after which he toured Australia. In 1S90 he was arrested for seditious talk, but escaped to France with William O'Brien. He then visited the United States,-but' in 1891 he returned home and served another term in jail. Mr. Dillon was the chief aide of Parnell and Davltt in founding the Land League in the United States.
DID THEY HAVE COLD FEET? We note from the sporting pages tliat the attendance at the Gary bouts la3t night was extremely poor and that but few came out from Chicago to witness the manly exhibition. It pains us exceedingly to note the lack of interest shown by the Chicago frequenters of pugilistic encounters in the Gary mill. Hitherto it has always been a joy to welcome these special trains filled with lawyers, doctors, brokers and other professional gentry who permit themselves to be torn from the bosoms of their families to support our elevating athletic exhibitions. At a recent classic affair In Hammond hundreds of Chicago prominent citizens came out to view the doings and so delighted were they with them that they permitted themselves to be separated from jewels and lucre galore. It surely cannot bo that our Chicago brethren are going to desert us in our hour of need. Will the spectators please rise and join in the chorus of that soul-stirring ditty, "Oh, Willie, We Did Miss You."

PRESIDENT Taft has been invited to go out and see two engines smash into each other at Indianapolis. Funny how crazy people are to see something smashed these days. THE Wallace-Hagenhach shows "got theirs" from the Michigan City papers this week. It is said that the dips and crooks outnumbered the animals carried by the aggregation. NO metropolitan paper has thus far had the enterprise or the nerve to run a two-column cut of J. Plerpont Morgan in the knee panties he wore at the coronation. ' Even B. L. T. has
failed us.
THE DAY IN CONGRESS

DROWNS WITH RESCUERS SEA It. Although his companions were swimming desperately toward him when he was seized with cramps, John Stanch, of Indianapolis, Hungarian, IS years old, sank the second time beneath the surface of White River before aid arrived yesterday afternoon and was drowned. Pedestrians on the Kentucky avenue bridge saw the boy, who was in the water about 100 yards north of the bridge bathing with several compan
ions, also Hungarians, suddenly thrust his hands above his head and disappear. Charles Kelly, 1289 Kentucky avenue, called the police. Blcyclemen Trimpe and Rucker dragged the stream
with grappling hooks for two hours
but darkness halted the search and the body remains in the water. The search will be resumed today. According to

Fred Myers, age thirty-four, married, and the father of two small children, fell from a swinging scaffold in front of the W. II. Turner & Co. department store at Kokomo yesterday, receiving injuries from which he died two hours later. He fell a distance of thirty-five feet, striking the cement walk. Myers
was unconscious when he was picked up and remaind so until his death. A
fellow-worker on the same scaffold
does not know the cause of the tall. Myers's wife thinks he must have been seized with vertigo, as he was subject
to attacks from that malady. SETS RECORDS FOR TWINS. In the five months ending May 81. twenty pairs of twins were born at Indianapolis, and this is believed to establish a new record In twins for Indianapolis. While a comparison with actual figures has not been made, Harry Dunn, the chief clerk of the city board of health, says he believes more twins were born the first five months of this yor, than were born in all 1909. Month by month, the twins born in the city to June 1 were as follows:
January, 8; February, 7; March, 1; and
April, 14. No twins were reported In
May, but one or two pairs have been
reported thus far In June. Triplets are extremely rare in Indianapolis. No triplets were born in the city last year nor this year. HO ICS RECALL OLIJ MYSTERY. While digging in the garden at his home, which until a few years ago was known as the Black Diamond saloon, and during the plate glass days of Elwood having a reputation as one of the worst resorts of the city, r. O. Berry, a cobbler, found several bones of a human skeleton, which, when taken to a physician, were said to have evidently been burled twenty years.
Three years ago other parts of a skeleton were found not far from the same spot where the excavation was made yesterday. Al'TO DEMOLISHED BY CAR. J. O. Nelson and Frank Swift of Carthage, narrowly escaped death yesterday when the automobile they wera driving got beyond control and collided with an eastbound Indianapolis and Cincinnati traction car west of town. The two men tried to stop the automobile when they saw the approaching car, but only succeeded in running it down the track toward the car. Hoth men jumped from the automobile barely-in timo to avoid being struck, and neither of them was seriously injured. iThe automobile was denT'-Ualw

Tho town of Hope, Bartholomew county, has come forward with an egg story less likely to be believed than any sent out under a local date line In a long time. Frank Neligh, a carriage maker, says a White Wyandotte hen laid an egg that had del I cat 9 tracery on each side. The tracing in white on one side spelled "Hope," while on the other side there was the abbreviation, "Ind." The gg has been placed In a window of the Neligh establishment. The next stunt expected of this hen is to lay an egg with a postal card written on one side and a posteriut on
