NO SNAP HOLDING OFFICE. Hastily surveying a retrospective of five years and recalling the old saying that he who holds public office in a Latin-American republic sits on a pile of dynamite, we see a mighty big connection between holding office in the duBky climes in occupying an official portfolio in Gary. No other group of positions in Indiana is so pregnable to assaults as a public berth in Gary. The patriots who manage to stay on the city payroll are constantly dodging projectiles, dum dum bullets and minie balls. And, from time to time, a victim, all pitted through, or the subject of a deftly given stab in the back by his colleagues, either superior or subordinate, rolls over the breastworks. Should he survive he is ever after at war. If It is that te leaves town (after being well paid to do so), there is no telling when he will return to give Incriminating testimony in the courts against the bounty dispensers. For sixty months and more General Tom Knotts, the dictator of thirtyone Bquaxe miles of Indiana, has managed to hold the lid down. At times the volcanic fury beneath has caused a boiling over, but General Knotts has always managed to keep the elements downed even If the cost was a few
broken heads and an Increase In the next annual tax levy to help pay the
court bills. Trusty adherents of the throne have come and gone, but Tom
goes on forever. The too ambitious have been silenced by additional gratuities, or, at times the ever ready double cross was used to hurl the too faithful
servant out Into the common herd.
And what does it all amount to? Quarrels, intrigue, blood-shed, deceit
and constant worry is the lot of an office holder in Gary.
IN THE DAYS OF PORTER B. TOWLE.
A comparison of the newspapers in Hammond today and those which
were printed when Porter B. Tcmle was the editor of the Hammond Repub
lican shows the remarkable advance that has been made in that time.
Not only do the papers of today contain twenty times as much news,
but the editorial policy is now vigorously honest, while it was then viciously corrupt. In those days when the editor got hard up, and he was hard up
most of the time, he called around for a donation. If the donation was not
forthcoming the budding political ambitions of prospective donatee were
nipped in the bud by maliciously slanderous articles.
And finally when all the skeletons had been brought out of their respective closets and had been permitted to dangle before the public gaze for a while
the old Republican would come out with an exceedingly complimentary ar
ticle. The donatee had "come across." The editor of the Republican was
finally arrested by the federal officers for using the mails for fraudulent pur
poses and was compelled to leave the city. This marked the passing of
blackmailing Journalism in Hammond.
It marked the beginning of an era when the Hammond newspaper is Judged by its stand on the vital issues of the day. It paved the way for the
generous appreciation that is shown a paper that is honest.

BILLY SUNDAY.
Despite the disclosures made about the work of Billy Sunday under the
guise of religion, Billy continues to wade elbow deep in coin gleaned from
his converts. He got 112,000 for three weeks' work at Erie, Pa.
.There are always a lot of interesting details following in the wake of the sensational Billy Sunday. At Wheeling,. W. Va., last night an ordinance was passed providing for a fine of any person, who, In public address, uses
vile or vulgar language. Councilman P. F. Haberstick, who offered the or
dinance, said he did so with the intention of curbing the vocabulary of "Billy" Sunday, the evangelist, who is to open a religious campaign in this
city early next year.
Coming nearer home, during the course of his remarks before the New
Thought club at Indianapolis, Dr. Houser, speaking on the topic, "Commer
cialism Religion," took occasion to term "Billy" Sunday a "fakir" and "grandstand artist."
M'ALEER PRAISED.
, President McAleer of the Northern Indiana league should be applauded tor his open rebuke to Captain Fowler of the Hammond team for his dirty ball playing.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
During the month that followed the, Let me tell you something that
THIS IS MY 81ST BIRTHDAY. Paris Gibson.
Paris Gibson, at one time United i
States senator from Montana, was born at Brownneld, Me., June 1, 1830. He received his preparatory education at Brighton and Fryeburg, Me., and then entered Bowdoin college, from which he graduated In 1851. tie entered poli
tics -and, three years liter, was elected to the Maine legislature. Four years later he went west anfc settled in Minneapolis, Minn. Together with W. W. Eastman he built the fit-st flour mill and the first woolen mill 14 Minneapolis. In
1879 he settled In Fort Benton, Mont. In 1883 he made a trip to the falls of
the Missouri river and founded the city the convention which framed the constitution of Montana in 1839, was elected state senator in 1891 and to the
United States senate in March, 1901, to
fill an unexpired term ending March 4, 1905.
explain away and apologize for Intemperate, wild and positively foolish
statements and actions of his col
leagues in the social struggle.
Let us understand once for all that it is in no sense socialism to denounce every man with a healthy bank account. It is not socialism to endorse
the thousand and one vagaries of every labor organization with a strike on its
hands.
A local and recent Illustration of
what I mean was presented by a trav
eling so-called socialistic speaker who
held forth on the corner of Fayette and Hohman streets one night, a week or two ago. He had a magnificent speaking voice, clear and resonant, and a forceful, self-assured manner of delivery. He could have done splendid service for a splendid cause had he not, unfortunately, mistaken viciousness for vigor, denunciation for logic and ranting for reason. He positively injured the socialistic cause with every thinking, intelligent man who paused to listen. As an earnest, ardent believer in the socialistic tenets I for one turned away, sorry and ashamed. To that speaker everything was
wrong as conducted in this country and under this government, from schools to slaughter houses, from labor to love. Every man engaged in business, in manufacturing, in mercantile or business lines, was an enemy to the race, a plutocrat, whose only thought and purpose in life was and Is to crush the toilers of earth, etc. Now, all that tommyrot has nothing in common with socialism any more
than it has to do with Christian
I Science or the outcome of the National
league race, and every intelligent socialist in the land knows it and realizes the great wrong that is done his cause when uninformed labor agitators are thus permitted to deal - out splenetic mouthings under the cloak and in the name of socialism. True, socialism does at all times and everywhere stand for the rights of the toilers, but it certainly does not endorse labor's short-sighted policies, its
wedding of one of the girls in our neighborhood the engagements ot two other girls were announced, and a third engagement which is aa yet se
cret, was entered into.
"Tha old French proverb, "Quand on
n's pas ce qu'on aime, 11 faut aimer sa
qu'on a,' " says Agnes Repplier, '"has
married generations of women.
That is undoubtedly true. And equally true it seems to me is the fact that other girls' engagement rings, other girls' dear little homes have wonderfully helped this proverb in marrying off the feminine half of the race. Who would dare to say that the sight of Evangeline's delectable chest of linen, and of the dainty filmy lingeries, smart new gowns and heartsatisfying complete accessories that made up her trousseau' did not have some influence upon those friends who announced their engagements so closely upon the heels of her weddngT One of. these girls I happen to know has been hovering on the brink of an engagement, trying to decide if she really cared enough for the man to marry him, for over a year. Of course, she may have suddenly found out that she did care enough.
But then again, it isn't impossible, is it, that she was swayed the wee bit necessary, by the sight of Evangeline's pretty things, the lure of her important position as central figure in a wedding, and the spell of her happiness? Unconsciously swayed, I mean, of course.
Naturally no girl is going to say to herself: T want an engagement ring and a trousseau and a wedding and a little home of my own, like the other girls, and so I will marry this man who has asked me to be his wife, even though I do not love him." Usually she mistakes the enticement of these considerations plus her liking for the man plus the eternal power of sex for & real love. You think I am overrating the influence of such things.
young manied woman told me frankly
during a acussion of this subject: "Do you know," she said. "I think it was an open fireplace that really married off. The year before John and I were engaged a cousin of mine, about ny own age, was married. She had aa adorable little home with a very attractive living room and a beautiful, biff, open fireplace. All my life I had wanted a fireplace, and had never come any nearer to having onee than a gas log. John and I were going about together that winter, and we used to go to my cousin's home a good deal, and I really think that it was because 'I thought it would be so lovely to have a flreplacee like theirs and sit before it In a sort of Hanglng-of-the-Crana style, as they did. that I finally consented to marry John." Of course, I didn't voice the question, but I am afraid it must have been in my eyes, for she ent on most emphatically: "Not that I've ever been sorry. Why, I arn as thankful to that fireplace as I can be. Just think, I might not have my two darling babies and my sweet little home, and my dear good husband if it hadn't been for Its Influence. It knew what I wanted
better than I did." Oh, dear, I'm afraid I've punctured my moral! You see. I started with the firm intention of pointing out the folly of this kind of marlrage, and giving you Marcus Aurellus sternly beautiful advice: "Love that only which the gods send three and which is spun with the thread of thy destiny." And now I'm not quite certain that is the best advice for all of us after all. 1 Perhaps it my be best for some ot the greater souls, but for most of us commonplace popIe, who knows - but that other girls' engagement rings and trousseaus Hid weddings and dear little new homnt are wise baits of fate to lure us into t happiness and a usefulness, we night otherwise have missed.

Time and again able, well-In- j formed socialists in speech and in print , have pointed out the way. the Amerl- j can way, the only way to right the, wrongs of the toiling millions: The i

Socialism has all sufficient of reason and logic, of common sense and love of humanity to appeal to every human heart and convince every human intellect that will but open to its call. It has no need of the blatherskite, the loud-mouthed soap-box "Jimmy" who feels he has a "call" to orate, nor to the dark, pessimistic soul who looks only through Jaundiced eyes and bellows that the whole earth is saffron.
