The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
OH, GET THE AXE. "Speaking for myself, I say that if my party fails next year , ' either in platform or ticket I shall not champion its broken faith'. . I will not share its bloodstained hire. I will not help it bear, its million fingered shame. I will not bring my conscience to another brewers' mart. I cannot stay and keep my own hands clean. I cannot stand forever before the truth and mock It with a lie, and I will not go in silence, for in such case silence wouldbe a crime." JAY FRANK HANLY. Will somebody please get the axe? ' Up to the hour of shoving the fourth form on the steam-table we fail to note . any concerted movement in the behalf of any party to get Hanly to do any championing. Hanly doesn't know what truth is. He has been convicted out of his own mouth several times in Lake county. He is a monstrous hypocrite. He can take his "million fingered shame" whatever that is with him and lecture to high school graduates at $25 per lecture. Again we re- ' peat Get the axe. WHAT PROTECTS GRAFTERS? No one who is at all cognisant of conditions in Lake county disputes the fact that some of its citiya are graft-ridden. They admit that the whole
county needs a scouring, bjut let a man be arrested and there are a lot 6f citizens who are ready to take up the grafter's plea and shout, "frameup
politics persecution.''
The public ad the newspapers are asked to suspend Judgment while 1 those under arrest give out interviews, make plausible excuses, work on pub
lic synHffiy and prepare the way for the usual whitewashing.
If the people of Lake county have had enough of grafting they had better
back up those who are trying to enforce the law by at least refusing to repeat all of the foolish excuses that are given, by the men who at last find
themselves in the tanglefoot.
In the case of the arrest of a burglar the public does not believe that
he "just went into the house to get out of the rain." It takes the position that there Is a probability of guilt and awaits the outcome of the trial. It is ridiculous to cry "politics" when it is so patent that this cleanup movement is being applied to certain republicans In East Chicago as well as to certain democrats in Gary. By what line of reasoning does it become a matter of public policy to release one pet of crooks bee&use another is juatj as bad? Take up the work at hand and dispose of it and then If there are any more grafters abroad in the land it will be easier to get them. It is safe to say that there is not a man in Lake county whose enmity towards any of the accused in Gary is so vicious that he would not want to see him sent to prison for a crime which he was not guilty. But there are thousands of people in Lake county who are convinced that Gary Is graft ridden and who are becoming mighty insistent that the guilty be punished. It Is silly sentimentality that protects grafters.
WE fear if ther is much more of this Gary agitation thre won't be any Santa Claus this year. g "SAUERKR'AUT will prolong life," says an exchange. In other words, give us sauerkraut or give ua death. J SEE that scientists are now work

A TRAVELING man with $105 lost his pocketbook in Hammond the other day. A picture of a man having $105

Which would you rather have when I you go a-vlsltinn, elaborate, and fussy fare especially gotten up for your delectation and a hostess tired out by the extra exertions, and subconsciously hoping that you won't come again too soon, or your share of the family

I can't imagine but one answer to
that query.
And yet. how many hostesses give
their guests the credit of being decent enough to visit them for their con
versation and friendship rather than
their food?
How many women have the common
sense and large-roindedness to insist that their hospitality shall always be a pleasure rather than a burden?
Perhaps one in five, but I doubt it. To all too many housemothers "com
pany" Is synonymous with "bother,"
and "unexpected company" with
"catastrophe."
And in many houses where formal
hospitality is really enjoyed, the In

As to the ways and means, the housemother says: "We usually have
plenty to eat In the house, and plenty for four can generally be expanded to enough for five. For the occasions when my fare needs eking out I keep a stock of canned vegetables and soup
and preserves. "If we run short of anything, we laugh at It together, and the novelty of this treatment of the situation usually pleases the guests. "Hospitality has been one of the greatest oleasures of our married life, and I think it is Just because we made up our minds at the beginning to enjoy our friends in a simple way and never to insult them by letting our entertainment of them become a burdensome duty. If we lost any friends in this way, we felt they would hardly be friends worth keeping." To quota the poet, "Them's my sentiments, too," anj I wish they were more; folks." RUTH CAMERON.

REALLY AN INDIANA SCANDAL. We have spoken of It as the Gary scandalt But it is really an Indiana scandal. The good name and the honor of the state are involved.' During ; the administration of Governor Marshall no more important; subject has . come before him. It Is his plain duty to exert all the power he has to clean . np this shameful situation. The fact that he has many enemies in that sec- ' tion of the state has n obearing on the case. There is no danger whatever ,that the people whose good opinion he ought to value will misinterpret his
motive. As for the other people it doe3 not matter what they think. No
such considerations as these which are purely personal ought to have the least weight with him. Nor Is the question in any sense political. It is wholly moral. Here ia an Indiana city governed by men most of whom are charged with one of the most Infamous crimes of which men in office can be guilty. Strong evis dence is offered in support of the charges. Some of the men accused have confessed. Such is the case that is now presented to the governor of Indiana. The people who have honored and trusted him are hoping that he will do his duty fearlessly.

THE PEOPLE WILL HELP. The Gary Commercial club at the risk of, and in fact the recipient of widespread criticism, has at various times done admirable work which time
