This paper does not believe that "The king can do no wrong." Some partisan republican papers have taken umbrage because it has expressed
views with reference to republicans and republican policies. The day of the rabid party organ has passed into oblivion. THE TIMES has never posed aa
a rabid republican organ, but has always asserted its independence. Down state papers have seemingly been offended because this paper has expressed
its opinion relative to the part Joe Kealing played in the recent visit of
President Taft. We have no excuses to offer and only reiterate what we
"have said before. THE TIMES has never stuck its feet upon the pie counter and it is due to this fact alone that it possesses the large constituency It
does. They know that there are no strings tied to THE TIMES and we don't propose to have that opinion changed.

OPPOSITION TO CALUMET AVENUE WIDENING. The usual number of unprogressives have risen up in opposition to the plans to extend and widen Calumet avenue in Hammond. Short-sighted obstructionists, they are, with no thought for the general public good and their whole thought for their own selfish personal interests. The time has come when a list of the remonstrators against a worthy project of that kind ought to be printed in the newspapers so that the people of the next generation can know who it was who attempted to thwart the present "plans of the city officials to give Hammond at least one wide street Ilohmaa street is now too narrow to carry the traffic that Is poured into it. State street, which could have been widened a few years ago, is now doomed forever to be a narrow street.
And so the city of Hammond goes on with its bungling city building, carrying the weight of Its slow moving and unprogressive citizens while Gary
parades its beautiful Broadway to the world.
With their eyes focused down so that they can't see anything larger
than a silver dollar, there are hundreds of people in Hammond who think that so long as two teams can pass in a street it is wide enough.
These people have no imaginations. They are unable to see that Calu
met avenue will some day be extended all of the way from Lake Michigan to the Little Calumet river to the south of the city. That it is destined to
become the Appian Way of the Calumet region.
They haven't the imagination to see that if the street is made wide
and beautiful and is constructed so that it will encourage traffic that soon
IT is time to get the hook and use

The executive secretary who is to direct the work of Gary'B Young Men's
Christian association, has arrived to town. He is Charles M. Mayne, an en
ergetic young man from Lincoln, out in Nebraska, where he has held a simi
lar position for the past eleven years.
When Lincoln heard that it was to lose Mr. Mayne it was surprised and
the people wondered why a young man with such a brilliant future should
go out Into the sand , dunes. It is interesting to know what the editor of the Nebraska State Journal thinks about his coming to the new city. Here
is the editorial: Lincoln people who are interested to know just what kind of work it is which draws Secretary Mayne from the Lincoln Y. M. C. A. to the sand hills of the south shore of Lake Michigan will find it worth while to read an article in Hampton's magazine for July on the new school system now in operation at Gary, Ind. The Gary schools are founded on the idea of giving childran what they want at school. School keeps six days in the week, from half past eight until five o'clock and all the year around. Study, hard work and play are sandwiched In these schools. No child has a fixed spot to study and recite, but "moves round" to each part of its program. Children of different ages wor ktogether and have opportunity to observe and learn from what the older children are doing, thereby restoring in some degree the lost ladder of the country school house. Raising children by work and to work, as they are raised on the farm and in the primitive industries, is the fundamental theory of the schools. Gary is the city of the steel trust, the children come from the families of workers in steel trust mill3 and shops and include nearly every tribe and tongue on the face of the earth.

Prince Albert was barried in 1869. Monaco is a small principality with an area of only eiht square miles and Is surrounded entirely by French territory excepting on the side towards the Mediterranean sea. The revenues are derived wholly from the famous gamb
ling casino of Monte Carlo. Until a
short time ago the Prince was an absolute ruler, there being no elective rep
resentation. Last January the popular demand forced the ruler to errant a constitution. The people, however, are
not entirely satisfied with the constitution and it Is possible that Prince Louis may never become ruler of the little principality. Yet it is scarcely believed that popular antagonism will
go to the lengt hof a revolution, and
it Is expected changes will be made in
the constitution which will satisfy the people.

J often wonder !f others experience the same bewilderment about them. The thinkers I mean are those who claim that they are atheists. A specimen of this queer species, a man who insists that he unwaveringly disbelieves in the existence of a God has lately focussed my attention on
the subject and I hava been wondering again if it is always a pose or if there ever was a man who even way down in the bottom of his heart didn't have the least belief in some kind of a God. I don't mean that I can't understand the man that doesn't believe in a personal God who watches every act we do and spends his time preparing brimstone and boiling oil for those who
don't follow certain narrow little rules
of conduct, and harps and white dresses for those who do. The man I mean, the one I can't understand, is the man who doesn't believe in any kind of a power greater than man, any definite, Intelligent force behind the universe. The agnostic, the man who asserts that the existence of a God cannot be either proven or denied is a comprehensible creature. But the atheist the man who disbelieves and denies the exlstenco of any God well, don't you truly think
that way down In his heart of hearts he knows, there Is some God? I do. But if he doesn't- if ha is genuine and not a poseur, not eve na elfdeceiving poseur, aren't you sorry for him with all your heart? I am.
It seems to me that of all men he Is the most unfortunate. It seems to me that we might with reason cease our effort to bring cheer to the blind, the bereaved, the shut-in the sick and suffering, and Just conconcentrate on him. For he needs it more than all the rest. Don't you think so? Live not without a friend! The Alpine rock must own Its mossy grace or else be nothing but a stone. Live not without a God!

MOB MENACES MARSHAL. Thomas Stimson, town marshal at Ellettsville, seven mllB north of Bloomington, was almost mobbed, tarred and feathered by Ellettsville citizens last night. When Sheriff Browning, of Blooming, arrived on the scene a crowd of several hundred had Stimson half stripped- Stimson is said to have drawn a revolver. His name had been connected with that of a woman. Both were taken to jail. .

RISKS LIFE FOR BIG FISH. George W. Freyan, of Lawrenceburg, age fifty-two, a cabinet maker, who, with his wife, and four sons and his brother, Fred Freyan, all of Indianapolis, are camping on the Kentucky shore of the Ohio river, nearly lost his life in the river yesterday.

The TIMES Will help you to Satisfy
Uncle Sam in this Particular
The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at the close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will put out are of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postoffice Department They are provided with a large locked receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and are recommended by the Postmaster. One of these Boxes wTill be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one paying one year's subscription in advance, OR a Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, OR you can secure one of these boxes by cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES' office six (6) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents. These Coupons are numbered and all that is required is that your Coupons bear six consecutive numbers. These MAIL BOXES are the very best made and cannot be purchased elsewhere at less than One Dollar each. We shall be glad to have you come up and look at them. You will be surprised. .
Hammond Post Office By drectlon of the Post Office Department, the attention of patrons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently accessible boxes or cutting suitable slots in their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a prompter and better delivery service with the means at his disposal, since the carriers can cover much more territory in less time if not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mall are also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mail In the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hour! It has been shown by actual experience that the benefits derived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense Involved. As this office is Interested In furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully, F. R.
