ISN'T IT?

It Is much easier to put a muzzle on your dog than it is to have to screw

a coffin lid over your child and IT DOESN'T COST NEARLY AS MUCH, IF

MONEY IS ALL YOU CARE ABOUT. GARY'S TWO CIVIC BODIES.

The announcement is made that the "sole" purpose of the Gary Chamber

of Commerce is to boost Gary. We wish that the word "sole" did not seem

to explain the whole motive for organizing this new civic body. It seems to imply that the Gary Commercial club has been engaged in some activities

of which the moving spirits m the vary Chamber of Commerce do not

approve.

The Gary Commercial club' is entitled to the support of every citizen in Gary and it is to be regretted that this splendid organization will no longer have the co-operation of the men who have organized the Gary Chamber of Commerce. Had the Gary Commercial club proved its inefficiency, had it failed to fearlessly met the crises in the city's history there might have been some excuse for the organization of a competing civic organization. Has the Gary Commercial club done its duty well? It has given Gary some of the most valuable advertising that it has had. The Commercial club's first banquet at which Governor Hanly, E. J. Buffington, Congressman E. D. Crumpackef were the guests of honor, was the finest affair that has ever been given in Gary. It did more to foster the spirit of civic pride in Gary and bring its citizens into close communion than any other similar affair that has ever been held. The ceremony in honor of the arrival of the first Boat load of ore, in which a number of notables participated,, also did wonders in advertising the city and was a real achievement. In later years when the Commercial club was faced with the disagreeable duty of solving the labor problem and of combatting dishonesty and corruption in public office, the Gary Commercial club had men who were strong enough and game enough to look the situation in the face .and remedy it. It ls natural that the organization should have made enemies and that the organization of a competing .civic body should have resulted, but unless the new organization faces all the music when the time comes, its influence will not be what it should.

THE UPLIFT IS HERE. The rest of Indiana, the classical part, down along the Wabash river, Tosey county, aristocratic Richmond and other favored spots where green

com, good cider and poets are the big crops, has long looked "upon the County of Lake as a smoky and forlorn and sandy region where they produced steel, railroad taxes and election riots, and one of their sole ambitions

after they leave Indiana has been to take pot-shots at Lake county. Whit

Ing, alone, they believe, had the only refining influences in the Calumet

region and that is because they knew the crude oil tanks to be there.

If it is true that the people of Lake county have been too busy with their industrial advancement, and haven't had the time to groom a coterie of versemakers and novelists, it doesn't signify that they are barbarians.

THE PERNICIOUS BREWERY INFLUENCE.

One of the most noticeable facts in connection with the selection of

the Gary park board, a body which will control the expenditure of a half million dollars and which will select the park sites for a future metropolis, is

the intrusion of the brewery interests in an effort to name candidates. And

are they going to start a brewery in the new park?

One Tolleston brewery agent and a Gary brewery agent are unusually

active in the matter while a third and rival brewery will shortly brin;; out

another candidate. As it is, Gary is now governed by breweries, for f ix of

municipal politics and their efforts to dominate the park board cannot be

regarded other than insolence? ,

Miss Constance 'Mather, heiress to millions, daughter of Samuel Mather, of Cleveland, and a social leader, has given up her social life and will engage In mission work on the bleak coast of Labrador, under tutelage of Sir Wilfred Grenfall. She will likely be stationed at Indian Harbor. She plans to establish schools of domestic science among children as the first part of her work.

ELK PUNISHMENT. A great painting. "The Pursuit of Fortune," shows a woman on horseback, riding at breakneck speed to catch up with the goddess of Fortune. Behind her rides grinning Death. Which fitly symbolizes the career of the late Mrs. Charles T. Terkea. Terkes was a cold blooded, money making genius, who early in life got into the penitentiary for embezzlement. Afterward, going to Chicago, he made a big fortune in the street car business. His faithful wife stood by him when he was sent to prison. When he got rich he rewarded her devotion by di

vorce ana marnea Mary Moore, a beautiful young girl aged twentythree. He was then fifty.

The second wife was ambitious so

cially and hoped to be a leading fac

tor In high life, but Chicago society

deliberately snubbed and repulsed her.

She persuaded her husband to move

to New York. Yerkes built a mansion there, but the social doors would not open to the golden key.

Disillusioned, embittered, Mrs. terkea

shut herself up in the Fifth avenue

palace.

Yerkes sold bis Chicago holdings

and went to London, wner he made

more millions In traction. His wife

made a third essay to enter society.

but in London, as in America, she was turned down by the smart set.

There was domestic difficulty, and she came back to New York.

Then Yerkes returned to New York,

The story is told that Yerkes died

alone, bis body being dumped into a big laundry basket and taken by a

taker's wagon.

When the will was read she -was

cut off with $200,000. Even the rich

widow spent money and energy trying

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

Death cannot long divide. For Is It not ai though the rose That climbed our garden wall. Had blossomed on the other side There is a certain inconsistency sometimes exhibited by Christians that I cannot understand. I wonder if it has ever puzzled you. It is this: A beloved friend has died a mother, a father, a husband or child. Say, for instance, a husband. The bereaved wife says, ."I know my husband was a Christian. No better man lived. I know he has gone

straight home.' " And yet she la

plunged into deepest sorrow.

Is this consistent with the professed

belief of Christiana in an after life

vastly happier and fuller and finer than

the one we are now living?

It seems to.me that It is only the

person who does not believe in a hap

py after life or who is uncertain about the dead one's fitness for such a life, who has reason to grieve this way.

You say, "But perhaps the wife ls

sure that her husband ia happy her

grief is only for herself at losing him." No, that can't be quite so, for how often you hear her type refer to the dead as "poor Charles." Besides, suppose the grief were wholly for herself. Isn't that an extremely selfish attitude for a Christian to take to believe that the one she loves ls far happier, and yet to give herself over to rebellious and unconquerable grief because she Is separated from him for a time a time. too. which, according to her belief, is infinitely armall compared to the eternity which she shall enjoy with him? "Oh, it's easy to talk, but when you've lost some one you love and the

years stretch barren before you " Yes, I know, my friend. In the first agony of grief it is next to impossible to see anything but those barren, lonesome years. But after that first grlaf, don't you think you owe It to your trust In the one you have lost as one fit to be happy In the hereafter, and to your faith In Christianity as a consistent doctrine, to show by the renewed serenity and cheerfulness of your : life that you believe that he ts really happy and that death ts only a temporary separation? I was talking these thirgs over with a young man who not only believes this, but has lived it through the loss

of both father and mother. "No crepe was hung upon the door when my father and mother went away," he said, "just a bunch of flowers. And this ls the wy It should be. Nobody could miss them more than I sometimes a million times a day. But the anticipation, the belief, the thorough confidence that t'ere Is something beyond the grave, ls quite sufficient for me." It seems to me that the Christian who does not gradually come to this state of mind Is denying bis faith. It Is for him, as well as for the out-and-out Infidel, that WhlUler sighs: Alas for him who never sees The stars shine through his cypress trees! Who, helpless, lays his dead away. Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marbles play! Who hath not learned in hours of faith The truth to flesh and sense unknown. That Life is ever Lord of Death, And Love can never lose its own. RUTH CAMERON.

Following the quarrel Mrs. Larsen went to the home of neighbors and stated that her husband had gone away from the house after severely beating her. Neighbors stated that the couple had quarreled the greater part of the night. Mr. and Mrs. Larsen had been married but two months.
