If the Chicago, Indianapolis & Meridian railroad can prove that it, has sufficient backing to carry through its project for the construction of a line

. from Chicago to Hammond, Gary, Crown Point and points southward to Indianapolis it should be given every consideration by the councllmen in the

cities through which it passes. The hope of getting a cross-county interurban through Halleck A. Seaman of the ill-fated Gary & Southern Traction company, seems to be rapidly vanishing. The time in which he had to construct the line has almost elapsed. Seamon and his crowd will have to step back and make way for some like proposition and if an investigation reveals the fact that the promoters of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Meridian railroad can be relied upon franchises should be awarded without hesitation. Incidentally THE TIMES had a story several months ago from its Indian- ' apolis news bureau, in which the plans to secure franchises for this com- ' pany in northern Lake county were freely discussed. !

SAFEGUARDING THEIR MORALS. Washington is again agitated over the moving picture business. A few months ago visiting Indians lodged complaint against one concern which depicted the noble red man scalping cowboys, burning scouts at the stake, tomahawking women, carrying off children and otherwise libelling the "latter day good Indian. ' Now comes a protest against the exhibit of moving pictures of Beulah ' Binford, "the other woman in the Richmond (Va.) murder trial. There is no desire to interfere with anybody's pursuit of happiness with'in reasonable limits, but neither of these two scenes can be considered very i elevating. ,, That there , are worse ones is unquestioned, but those are not healthy amusements for the young mind.

There is room for much work along this line, both in regard to better protcting the lives of spectators at moving picture shows and also safeguarding the morals of the children who form a majority of the patrons at such places.

HANLY OPENLY REPUDIATED. The republican party may next year declare for or against prohibition, for or against county local option! and the repeal of the present liquor law; that all depends on the will of a convention, still months away. The republican party, however, will not take dictation from J. Frank Hanly. The former governor may still have a following, probably has, but the days of his influence, the days when he could choke resolutions through party conventions, have passed, never to return. Having done all he could to wreck the republican party in Indiana, when he had the power to call a legislature in special session during a campaign and deliberately remove the paramount issue of that campaign, Hanly can expect nothing but open repudiation If he again attempts to dictate. South Bend Tribune.

DOESN'T FEAZE HIM A BIT. The confession of one of the boodled council of Gary that he received S1.000 for voting for a heating franchise must be very embarrassing to Mayor Knotta, who insists that the $5,000 found in his office desk, and declared to have been gven him as his share of the corruption fund, was "planted"' under Xlis nose by his enemies.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAJVIEROIN

"Oh friend, never strike sail to a I fear! Come into port greatly or sail with God the seas. Me has not learned 'the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear." Emerson. Can you imagine a mother who deliberately handicaps a child by encouraging habits which were sure to lead to some physical defect. Of course not. And yet how often you you come into contact with cases in hlch mothers have handicapped their j children by encouraging habits of mind j which led to mental defects. I am thinking especially Just now of the child who is afraid of thunderstorms. In nine cases out of ten when a child More often she is to blame because ! "ne GOs nommg or not nearly enougn lo 0,"me ln cnna s tear I Most children are naturally terrified by heavy crashes of thunder and vivid lightning. But there are two ways of treating that terror. One is to sympathize with It and make much of it and increase It by all the p6wer of suggestion. The other Is to pass It off as lightly as possible and Interest the child in other things or even In the beautiful Impressive aspect of the storm itself. I was with a very wise mother the other day during a terrific thunderstorm. It was the biggest storm her little 4-year-old daughter had ever witnessed and of course at first she was inclined to be much frightned. Instead of yielding to, and sympathizing with this terror, the mother drew her little girl's attention to the great beau. ty of the lightning, got her to watch for esoeclallv maa-nlficent xigsags. told her the dear old folk story of Hendrik Hudson rolling his great balls In the announced his Intention to retire from office early in November, so as to be ready to assume his duties as United States senator when congress convenes. Friends of Dr. David Jayne Hill, who has Just retired from the American ambassadorship at Berlin, are? said to be urging him to become a candidate for the republican nomination for governor of New York next year. James Hamilton Lewis, who was a member of congress from the state of Washington some years ago and who now resides in Chicago, has announced his candidacy for the seat of Shelby M. Cullom in the United States senate. William H. Andrews, who is likely to be one of the first United States senators from New Mexico, was a prominent dry goods merchant In Cincinnati before he removed to the southwest to engage In railroad building. A spirited senatorial contest Is In prospect In Oklahoma. Senator Owen, whose term will end a year from next March, will be a candidate for reelection. His chief opponent will be former Governor Haskell. A third candidate Is Justice Williams of the Oklahoma supreme court, who believes that the fight between Owen and Haskell will be so bitter that a third candidate will have a good chance to capture the toga.

mountains, explained to her how little real reason for fear there was and soon had her interested and comforted. The child will doubtless grow up without the needless discomfort of terror every time the sky darkens as if for a thunderstorm. I am convinced that there was a very few people and I mean a VERY few and it's a thousand to one you are not one of them who are so full of electricity that a thunderstorm does a! feet them physically. w The CANNOT wholly overcome their terror. Furthermore there Is a certain amount of absolutely reasonable alarm, natural fear of being struck when a' thunderstorm is close at hand. That you cannot blame anyone for feeling, although I think that "to reckon danger too seriously, to hearken too Intently for the threat that runs through all the winning music of the world," to .hold back "the hand from the rose because of the thorn and from life because of death," is to lose half the worth of living. But aside from these two conditions, I think that fear of a thunderstorm Is something to be very much ashamed of and that the mother who does not do everything in her power to help her child overcome it, or better still keep him from acquiring it. is doing a very wrong thing.
