RELIGION IS MARCHING ON. This newspaper has frequently called attention to the fact that religion is keeping pace with Industry In the Calumet region. The truth of this as. 8ertion Is borne out at least so far as East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Gary are concerned, by the doings of last Saturday and Sundy. On these
two days the cornerstone of one church was laid In East Chicago, and another church in Indiana Harbor was dedicated, while Gary witnessed a cornerstone laying and a church opening on Sunday alone. All of the events were very well attended, large crowds being present at all the services. These facts must be encouraging to the church people of the Calumet region, as they prove that godliness according to old and true standards. Is by no means obsolete aa many skeptics would make it appear. If regligion can flourish like a green bay. tree in the heart of the inddustrial world, where the majority of the population are as busy as are the people of this region, the severest test has been complied with.
THE SOUL Or GOODNESS. There's a soul of goodness In thing evil. Shakespeare. Xerxes, the great Persian, tried to Impose his oriental civilization on Europe, and he might have succeeded but for the Greeks. In beating back the hosts of Xerxes the Greeks exhausted themselves. It was tbelr last great fight for a new civilization. "When Xerxes put his vast army on a war footing he organized an effective commissary department Among other
things Xerxes carried a large amount
of alfalfa for horse feed. The seeds of the alfalfa; -were scat
tered far and wide, and for hundreds of years Europe has used this rich forage. Today the great plant is making the transmissouri region to blossom as ths rose.
There was the soul of goodnesseven in war. Thousands of men died who fought under Charles Martel; women were widowed and children orphaned, but Europe was saved from the Mohammedan scourge. And so of calamity Out of Charleston's earthquake came the flower of sectional reunion. The destruction of San Francisco made the world kin and gave a new dispensation of Anglo-Saxon energy. The soul of goodness! Wind and wave wrought awful havoc at Galveston, but out of it came- the Galveston form of city government, which, modified by "the Des Moines plan," bids fair to solve the problem of municipal operation. And so through history History, colored now with the red blood of war, now black with man's hate and now white" with his fears up from It all, out of it all, shines the soul of goodness. And so of yonr history. Out of your failures and fallings have come to yon strength of manhood character and sympathy for other souls and the wisdom, which Is of righteousness. The race is traveling slowly and painfully, but traveling toward some "faroff divine event." '
Shakespeare saw in these things' the
soul of goodness.
Some of us see In them the God of
goodness.
THIS IS MY 70TH BIRTHDAY. Michael K. Bernlrr. Hon. Michael Esdras Bernler, one of the veterans In Canadian public life and at present a member of the Dominion board of railway commissioners, was born at St. Hyaclnthe, Que., S?pt. 27. 1841, and received his education In his native city and at Montreal. In 1S65 he married the daughter of the late Simeon Marchesseault, who In 1837 was a leader in the rebellion, and subsequently was exiled to the Bermudas. The general election of 1882 marked Mr. Bernier's entrance Into federal politics. In that year he was elected to the house of commons, to which body he was re-eleeted at each succeeding; g-enerri election until 1900. In the latter "year he was appointed minister of
nland revnue in the Laurler administration. His present position as one of the board of railway commissioners he has held since 1904.
Up and Down in
INDIANA
Herbert S. H. Evans of Newcastle has been painted. This time th paint was black and the cow is badly blistered, as
the painting- was done some time be
fore it was discovered and removed.
On the horn of the cow the person
who did the painting-, tied a tag- wDicO read: "This was do no by an enemy; prosecute me if you can." The state's
ttorney thinks he has a clew as to
who Is guilty of the outrage and will
make an effort to punish him. In. both
nstances the painting: was done nt
ight while the cow was in a pasture.
"TH.E TRAIL OF THE TROLLEY." s Things are hunlming on the proposed route of the Gary-Hobart interurban line. The4ractIon company, which is backed up by the citizens of Hobart, alreadvr has franchises from Gary and the neighboring town. Preliminary construction work is under way surveys have been completed, right-of-ways have been given gratis and the printing presses are turning out the bondiue which has been subscribed by interested citizens and farmers, who realize that population always follows the trail of the trolley. . , Before many months have elapsed you can travel from Hammond to Hobart by way of the interurban1 and this means a great deal, the east and
west, cross-county trolley. Linking Crown Point with Gary and Hammond
is the next objective point in the traction game.
NEEDS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
It is plain to be seen that until Gary gets a stable government with freedom
from civic turmoil, and until those that direct its city affairs do so in a
business-like manner, conditions are going to be upset in the steel city.
Two years ago, when this newspaper advocatod this policy, it was jeered at and it" was said that Gary was being made the victim of the sledge hammer. But Time, the great equalizer, has broughtthe business interests
of the city to realize that Gary's progress will be' arrested as long as pres ent conditions obtain. ,
"Until Gary's government is conducted exactly along the lines of a busi
ness corporation for economy, for the advancement and for the tfest inter
ests of the ; citizens there is going to be dissatisfaction. Municipalities conducted on a systematic basft are successes. Those that are not are failures. When Gary is officered by a board of -directors that, understand
their business there will be no repetition of its present pitiful condition.
THE PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER.
' It was a wise statesman who said that if he had his choice between government without newspapers or newspapers without government, he would
lane newspapers without government.
A newspaper conducted or backed by a small class or party, faction.
eompany, interest, or for purely personal reasons is a menace to any com'
munity, for its sole purpose is to defend the wrongful acts of those for whom U stands, and hookwink its readers into believing what it says. It merely
follows the dictates1 of those whom it serves. On the other hand, a free-lance paper, having respect for no one, pre
terriDg to dip into the affairs of private citizens, printing scandalous articles which are reported to be exposes, giving sensation the rein over news, Is
also equally obnoxious to any community.
A paper, however, that will tell the news, print the truth, play no favor
ites yet handle its articles in a dignified and truthful manner, is the greatest protection the people have in continuing those right3 which are theirs by law, in securing others that are needed, rebuking those who transgress or withhold their free-born privileges, directing attention to the delay or in
solence of officers, educating the people with the advance of science, government, art Industry, resources and general progress of the world, makes It indeed entitled to become the Fourth Estate. It becomes a power in moulding public opinion. . . ' Printing the news often hurts some one or a number. It is at times necessary, for those who are hurt, as a rule, care not what they are doing to their fellow-man. Criticism is. a just prerogative of a newspaper when prompted by judgment, and only after careful study of a question. A good citizen need never fear a good newspaper. Those who are blind to their own faults, who outrage the rights of others, and have a contempt for the feelings of their fellow-man, are those who prefer the curtailment of the privileges of the newspapers. With the exception of a few Initances, libel suits have been failures, for newspapers must have tangible evidence before they accuse. And the law allows great latitude to the press. Muzzle the press and anarchy or monarchy will reign supreme; permit It to xerclse its rights to the limit, and education and a republican form ot government will live forever. Fairbanks (Cal.) News.'

FIFTEEN TIMES AROUND WORLD.
Oscar Bowman, who has been driving
the stage coach between New Albany
and Paoli for many years, has covered a distance which he calculates at near-
y fifteen times around the jworld since
he has "been handling the reins over the
four-horse, team that hauls the stage
back and forth between the terminals. He has made 3,276 round trips or 6,652
one-way trips. The total mileage is more than 360,000 miles, or equal to more than fourteen circles of the globe.
Bowman Is Known from ona end of the
pike to the other and seldom fails to take his passengers and mail through on schedule time.

tions me. I wonder. Jt Is a new point of view on myself, to me. But really I don't think I am. To be sure I may point out feminine foibles ; more frequently and forcibly than i' do the masculine, but that's only as a man could tell you tbe weak points and inconveniences of the house in which he lives better than those of a neighbor's house. I assure you, I do not find more fault with my sex, because I think they have more faults. Not by any means. Please attend, Mr. Critic, while I try to vindicate myself from your criticism. I know five obstinate men to one obstinate woman.

The very pretty, unusually attractive

The contrast between men's fidelity
and women's fidelity is too much a tru
ism to need mention. On the other hand. It seems to me that women are seldom as broad-minded as men. almost never as altruistic, as interested in the good of humanity In general. , They are naturally more peT nd Inclined to cast th first stone, and they seldom have much sense of business honor. Women. I think, are more jealous after marriage, men before. Women are more patient in smalt things, men In large. Men are more just; women more merciful. j There, perhaps I am still under indictment, but I hope not, for 1 have truly tried to borrow a masculine virtue and be neither hard on my own sex nor the other, but simply "Just" to
