IT IS IN THE AIR. Our own Lake county, which has been the- scene of a continual turmoil since a year ago this time, with Gary and East Chicago alternating as the storm centers, is not the only the political division on this earth where there Is unrest. It is a singular fact that there is a strange sense of restlessness through
out the world. Every click of the cable
parts of the globe. Spain has within its limits a smoldering revolution. There is a sharp struggle over grave economic questions in Italy and Portugal and elsewhere
in Latin Europe the edges are sharp. England has been, and Ireland now is, convulsed with labor troubles and important parliamentary problems are
confronting the British empire. Food in other cities. The poor ask for bread Germany are on the verge of war as a London fears outbreaks in Egypt and
The whole continent .watches the life thread of the aged Emperor Franz Josef, for his passing may mean the parting of Austria and Hungary with
an aftermath that will be an omnious one. ; Darkyclouds have again settled over the Balkans. But lately the red

"'Montenegro is preparing trouble for the young Turks. The map of Persia is about to change and from western China comes distant rumblings. Any minute may bring word that the pope is no more and Tuesday's news told that the troops in the Vatican were being armed with new rifles. The Russian premier has been laid low by the assassin's bullet and a reign of terror may follow in the czar's realms. Of events just passed we have seen the red flag waving in Haytl. Diaz deposed by the revolution in Mexico, and today there is unrest in all of the republics to the south of us. But lately the plague has raged in Manchuria and the shores of the Black sea and the Adriatic have seen thousands die of the dreaded cholera. In our own land we are going through trying periods. Congressional investigations, nervous capital, labor troubles, a tendency to rout out the graft evil, the protest against the cost of living and other grave problems are confronting us. We see arbitration treaties signed one minute and rush orders for Dreadnoughts given in the next. On all sides there is a strange and indefinable restlessness. The kaleidoscope change of events are almost too rapid for us to follow. Everywhere there is protesting. What with wars, strikes, the plague, revolution, high
prices, assassination, graft upheavals, ness the year 1911 will go down into -

DOES THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANS? A man who poses as a reformer is more or less of a public character. If the public is to listen to him his speech must be temperate, he must square his own acts in accordance with the preachments and his whole course of action must be consistent, logical and straightforward. Guy Surprise may be sincere in his effort to make conditions at' Cedar Lake better or, as has been suggested, there may be a motive behind his sudden activity against the forces of evil which are said to prevail there
One thing is certain, Surprise revealed his true character when he wrote Governor Marshall denouncing Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald and Sheriff Grant for an alleged failure to clean up Cedar Lake without first making a demand upon those in authority, locally, that they do their duty. If Surprise assumed that It would be useless to appeal to these officials to alleviate conditions of which he complained, his assumption was unfair and unwarranted. ' - The sheriff and the prosecutor were the proper men to whom to refer a matter of this kind and only in an extreme emergency should a matter of this kind be taken over the heads of the local officials to the governor of the state. If it was revenge that Surprise was seeking he did not get it. If it was notoriety he was after he got a lot of the undesirable quality. If he was sincere in his attempt at reform he proves his ignorance by the method of proceedure. Incidentally it might be pointed out that this is but another Illustration of the injustice 'to which a public official is frequently subjected. People would have more confidence in real reformers if they were not discredited by the actions of the other fellows who jump at conclusions, mistate facts,
adopt questionable methods and take means."
WHEN THEY are arrested for speeding a second time in South Bend they go to jail and when we say "go to jail" we mean exactly that. Good thing to try here.

THE claim is made that it is Just as possible to have perjured testimony with a dictagraph as it Is without it. . GOVERNOR Marshall strong point is the issuing of proclamations. Lordy, how he "goes to one of them things." - THE Heartbreakers are coming to Hammond in a few days. The Backbreakers have "done been and gone." s GREAT sensation in ocean-to-ocean flying contest.

There was some consternation throughout the state until it was found that the Hon. Chas. W. Fairbanks is at home in Indianapolis. SEEING that they are going to make the stock yards bloom like the rose, will all those who would like the Globe Station stink works to be sent to tbe stock yards, kindly remain standing until the gentlemanly ushers can count you all.

He was showing the girl a new revolver whlc'u he had purchased. She said she also had a revolver and took It out of a stand to show It. Playfully she pointed It at his head and made the jesting remark. She did not know it was loaded. Powell was hastily removed to St Joseph's hospital, where he died at midnight. TROTH FOLLOWS STRAW HIDE. A straw ride and a broken arm started a romance which ended yesterday in the marriage of Miss Zella Agnes Hyde of Edlnburg, and William Lloyd of Columbus. The couple first met on a straw ride seven years ago, when Miss Hyde fell from the wagon, breaking one of her arms. Young Lloyd took her to a surgeon and otherwise tenderly cared for her. Their acquaintance developed frienship and later love, which resulted In their marriage. The Interviewer Complaint having been made against a newspaper that its reporters or in terviewers did not correctly quote the party aggrieved, the paper says, among other things: "It is a habit in certain quarters to question on all occasions the truthfulness of newspaper reports and those who write them. The country is famaliar with the spectacle of the public personage, caught in the tangle of his own indiscretion of speech, taking refuge in the conventional claim of misrepresentation. In truth, in all but the rarest instances, interviews and reports are accurate. An interviewer or reporter Is specially trained to observe closely, to remember precisely and to reproduce fairly that which he hears. He is a specialist In accuracy, and while he makes mistakes In common with all other men, the chances of error while he is working In his own particular line, are small." Not only is the reporter a specialist in the matter of observation and accuracy, but he takes great pride in his ability to be accurate. The inaccurate reporter does not last long; It Is a weakness and the reporter knows it, and unless it can be overcome there is no place in the newspaper office for him. In their eagerness to build up a good story, the newspaper reporter of other

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
Tes, we are going to get out somewhere at least twice a week. Sometimes we'll go calling, and sometimes we'll go to church or to a concert or lecture or to the theatre.' But wherever we go, wee' re, surely going somewhere together at least twice a week, and maybe more. We made that our wed ding anniversary resolution. Tou know we had been married seven years last Wednesday." The lady who announced that determination, Is one of the brightest littlee women in our neighborhood. She his two children to whom she Is devoted. One Is four, and the other six years old. "Tou see." she went on In explanation, "Harry and I got to talking things over the other night, and we just decided that we had slipped into a rut. When the children were little babies, of course, we couldn't go out very much. But now that they are older and we have a very trustworthy maid, there really isn't any reason on earth why we shouldn't go out more and yet we are so in the habit of staying in that I don't believe we go anywhere together once in two weeks. Harry plays with the children until they go to bed, and then reads the newspapers, and the magazines, and I read or sew, and half the time we go to bed at 9 or half past. "On our . anniversary, some friends of ours whom we visited on our honey, moon, invited us to go to dinner and the theatre with them and we did enjoy it so much that when we got home we sat down and talked it over, and we made up our minds that we had days was likely to exaggerate, or even to wilfully misrepresent, but that does not prevail today. Every reporter knows that the best story is the true story. The trouble is, a great many people make statements which they are afraid of when they see them In cold print. Or, when the statement is printed it may not sound exactly as the speaker Intended It to sound; it may in a sense, convey a different meaning. But that Is not the reporter's fault. If the newspaper were seaklng to make trouble for the average public man It would not have to distort any-' thing he says or misquote him. It could tell the truth and ruin him quite J successfully. For there is not one man in a thousand who does not make remarks that he would not have put into type and generally circulated. And therein li a difference In reporters. The reaily valuable reporter does not have to be told what is intended for publication and what is not. He knows intuitively what a man would not want printed. Every reporter who interviews a public man hears a great deal which he knows Is not Intended for publication, and very few of them indeed attempt to get into print that part of a man's conversation which he does not desire printed. Men long in public life understand all of that; hence there i less complaint from the experienced man In publio than there Is from the would-be or near-great; they are the fellows who seek to hide their shortcomings under the stereotyped allegation that "you can't believe what you see in the papers." If you smoke a La Vendor once you wl!l always call for'them. WHT ARE TOU NOT A TIMES READER?
W Si. A toil -'-"Jm gotten into a rut, and we ought to get out of it, "We think we owe it both to our selves and the children to keep alive and young and in touch with things, and we can't do that if we sit down f and stare at a book or each other every night. "Harry works hard, but not so hard that he needs to drop into a chair and doze or read all the evening, and he says he felt better and more alive the day after our little 'spree' than he had for weeks. "So we're Just going to drive ourselves out. We're going to look uft some of the friends we lost sight of when we were so tied down by the babies, and we're going to take in A good play, or concert or lecture occasionally, and we're going to take some part in our church life, and we're just going to get out of this married folks' rut. "I know it may come a little hard at first we've vegetated so long, but I'm sure we'll enjoy ourselves and everything else better, once we get thoroughly waked up, and I think, too, that when ear children get old enough to want to be friends with us, we'll be better able to be friends wtth them than if they kept on vegetating the way we are." Does the lady's resolution appeal to you? I must say that it does to me, and that I know more than one married couple who would benefit both themselves and future generations, by making and keeping a similar one. RUTH CAMERON. COLOR LINE DRAWN IN LQGrANATHLETICS The color line in high school athletics at Logansport has precipitated turmoil which threatens to end In disrupting tha football team. Following the election of Carter McDonald as captain of the football team, McDonald announced that no negroes would be allowed to make the team. Heretofore some of the best players on tha team have been colored boys. Following this decision of McDonald a number of high school boys have appealed to the faculty, claiming that students at the high school who are not members of the fraternities are "frozen out'" of the team. The faculty Is considering disbanding the team as a solution of the difficulty. PREACHERS' AID FUND Society Meets and Report Shows $60,000 in Treasury.
