THE LOCAL LUGUBRIOUS BLUE. Mr. Smiley Glad met Mr. Lugubrious Blue on the street this morning and enquired: "Mr. Blue, why are you so downcast?' v "It is enough to discourage anybody the way things are going in this county. Rottenness and corruption everywhere. Our city governments are permeated with graft and the trail of dishonesty is found everywhere. "Take the situation over in East Chicago. Chief of Police Albert Lewis was impeached and removed from office.-Judge Reiter in writing the order ousting him said: 'The charges in the complaint are all true,' and he than proceeded, to give Lewis the worst castigation that a man ever got in court. "What was the result? The city administration exhibited the most brazen defiance of all sense of public decency and places Albert Lewis, the man whom the court said was guilty of protecting gambling and evil resorts, right back on the police force. "Look at the Gary situation. Here is Mayor Thomas E. Knotts, under bond on the charge of receiving graft in returning for signing a franchise. Prosecuting Attorney Charles E. Greenwald by signing the affidavit against Knotts admitted that there was a probability of guilt and yet only a few days ago he was seen riding through the streets of Hammond In Knotts' automobilehaving a solemn heartto-heart talk with the man that he is expected to vigorously and unrelentingly prosecute. "Then take the Stanford case. Here was a man apparently faithful in the performance of his duty. Seemed to be a good officer. He is arrested in an intoxicated condition charged with contributing to the delinquency of a young girl. "It is terrible, terrible to contemplate. Miss Brooks fighting valiantly in West Hammond and yet apparentl y making no headway against the crooked village officials who take their dirty graft money with never a thought of the girls that are ruined and the families that are disgraced through the influence of the infamous red-light district there." "Oh," said Mr. Smiley Glad, "Things are not a,s bad as they seem. Every community has its problems and especially new cities like Gary and East Chicago. The people of Gary are not yet acquainted with each other. The black sheep will eventually be separated from the white and Gary, with

her splendid capacity for doing things, will rise in her might and shake off the grip of the grafter. "East Chicago is ready for a political revolution now and it is certain that the better element in that city will not tolerate a continuation in power of some of the men who have disgraced the city, "West Hammond," continued Mr. Glad, "has not yet purged itself of its political corruption and moral laxity, but there are more good people than bad even in West Hammond, and right and decency will assert, itself even in the most wicked city in the world. West Hammond has Miss Brooks and she will continue to fight until the forces of evil ere beaten. "Things are not so bad. The action of the governor assures a vigorous prosecution of the Gary graft cases. If the state is able to secure half a dozen convictions it will make it so apparent that grafting in Lake county Is unprofitable that the county will be cleaned up for twenty years to come. "In the meantime we ought to be glad that public sentiment is so strong that over 1,500 people signed a petition in which they admitted that Knotts and the others would probably be 'handed a package' if they trusted their cases to the people who know them." "Well," said Mr. Blue, "It Is possible to fix juries, mould sentiment and bo create an atmosphere that practically makes conviction impossible." "The people are watching these cases," said Mr. Glad, "and we are at least assured of a fair trial." "Perhaps that is so,' said Mr. Blue as he waved a gloomy good-bye.

OH YE OF MIGHTY FAITH. It is a queer and almost uncanny influence that Eugene Purtelle seems to exert over the farmers in the vicinity of Rensselaer. It is not enough that he has lost his franchise in Hammond, Lake county and Crown Point. It is not enough to know that he failed for $750,000 and at the time was branded as a financial adventurer. It is not enough that THE TIMES made a complete expose of Purtelle after a number of well-known Hammond men had invested real money in his enterprise. Peonle still hav fnlth In ir. ,...i . it

The Conservation Congress

(Ninth Article.) The cooperative movement in thii country began to assume importance about I860. Prior to this time there had ben many associations for the advancement of various interests, but these were as a rule educational In pur pose. Real progress in business cooperation began after the close of the nlvil war. and may best lie described as a series of great movements in which the farmers were usually the principal actors. These culminated in the Orange movement of the early '70s. in which millions of farmers, united in a great national society, undertook to revolutionize the existing economc system by taking over to themselves the functions of middleman, merchant, banker and manufacturer, and to form a great agricultural trust that would dictate to the growing railroad and other monopolies. This was probably the greatest revolt of farmers. in the history of the world. It is simply astounding to read of the enterprises, colossal in the aggregate, that were launched. Millions were invested in banks, stores, warehouses, implement and other factories, railroads and selling agencies, nearly all of which collapsed within a few years, leaving only experience and deficits behind. Of those that survived, the greater part" soon adopted the methods, alms and purposes otordinary corporations. Here and there, however, a cooperative enterprise continued to live, and some of these are doing business to this day. ' Following the Grange movement came a number of state, interstate and national organisations, which grew steadily more political in their alms untl they culmnated n the Farmers' alliance and People's Party. The adoption of the main planks of these by the older political organisations, marked the close of an epoch in agricultural agitation and opened the way for a more strictly economic development of the cooperative ideal While the great movements of . the twenty-year period between 1870 and 1S90 did not accomplish all that was expected of them, they did accomplish much. They were the pioneers in organised opposition to the growth; of monoply In this country.' The organi zation of the Grange was the tiring of The Day in HISTORY "THIS DATE IK HISTORY" October 9. 1846 The whole order of English bishops abolished by an act of parliament 1662 La, Barre appointed governor of Canada. 1T01 Charter for Tale College granted. 1711 The British fleet returning from its unsuccessful expedition against Canada, arrived at Portsmouth, N.

Carter as United States senator from Montana, was born in Booneville, Mo., October 9, 1862. and was educated in the public schools of his native 'town. He worked on his father's farm, taught school, became a newspaper man and finally a lawyer. He was admitted to practice In the supreme court of Missouri at the age of 2S and practiced for some time at Booneville and West Plains. In 1893 ha went to Montana and opened., law office in the town of Hamilton. He was elected county attorney in Pavalli County in 1S94 and re-elected two years later. In 1898 he wad elected State senator on the Democratic ticket. In the senate Mr. Myers con-fined his attention largely to measures aiming at the reform of Judicial procedure. After hi3 retirement from the senate he was elected a district judge. His election to the United States senate last spring was something of a surprise, as he was In no sense an active candidate for the honor. Up and Down in INDIA N A CABBAGE SAVES THREE LIVES. Henry Wallace, 55 years old, a farmer, was drowned in White River he tween Decker and Hazleton, Ind., yesterday afternoon. He was In a gasoline launch with Fellz Zelf, William Alford and Peter Peyton when the launch unexpectedly turned over and all four were thrown Into the river. Wallace sank at once and lost his life. The other three grabbed hold of a sack of cabbage which was In the boat, floated to the bank and- were saved. HIM JOKE BETRAYS HIM. D. J. Myers, of Gas City, attended a public dance In Marion last Saturday night and when patrolman Albert DeWees was called to the dance hall to settle a disturbance he was assaulted by Myers, who took the officer's olub away from him. The club proved the undoing of Myers and led to his arrest. PeWeea did not know Myers and the affairs in the dance hall occurred in such quick succession that the officer

the first big gun in the fight against special privilege, a fight that is still

on and of which this congress Is a most vigorous expression. The Grange has never ceased to be an active factor in agricultural affairs. It has been a principal agent in the development of agricultural education and In the improvement of agricultural practice, and a constant factor In the later growth of cooperative endeavor, i Since the period of great organlzations, the cooperative movement has attracted less attention, but has accomplished more in the world of business. Men have attempted less and achieved more. The results are manifested principally in three classes of cooperative enterprise, cooperative stores, cooperative marketing associa tions, cooperative building and loan as sociations. Other forms of cooperative society that are making progress include cooperative Industrial plants, co operative supply societies and coopera tive insurance associations. The cooperative credit society that has attaned such proportions In Europe is practicallly unknown here, but there seems to be an excellent field for It, especially In the south. In all branches of cooperative activity there Is a lamentable lack of co-ordination. The cooperative stores are as a rule isolated from each other or associated In small groups, and they lose the advantage gained by the British so cieties from the concentration of their wholesale business. The marketing as sociations are for the most part separate, although there has been some movement toward federation in certain lines. While federation would. In moat cases, work to mutual advantage if well managed, the fact that such federations are rare does not argue against the as sociatlons or the movement of which they are a part. On the contrary, it la to the advantage of the cooperative movement that it is developing for the most part in small units, each of which must learn to stand on its own bottom. Progress in this country Is mainly along the slow and careful lines that have provea successful in Europe. Federation, with its great advantage, will come when co-operation in this country Is ripe to fit It. (To be continued.) ould give only a vague description of his assailant. After the talk over the trouble at the dance had subsided Myers appeared in the streets of Gas City carrying the mace he had taken from the officer and Joked about the occurrence. He was arrested yesterday and when arraigned before Mayor Wilson, of Marion, admitted the assault on DeWees, Myers was sentenced to ninety dava In Jail 'and fined $50. DeWees Is improving. BOY' LEAVES WITH TRAMP. Harold Calbert of Bhelbyvllle, age I thirteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. M I Calbert. has failed to send any word to ihi sparents since he left last Tuesday 'mnrnfns- witti a trtmn whn Viaa vlft4 that part of Indiana for the last onth and who styles himself as "A Ne. ! The man was first heard of by Shelbyville people when he was told to leave GFreensburg and he was next heard ef at St. Paul, where he gave the children, a talk advising them never to become a tramp. When he arrived at Sbelbyville, young Calbert and several other boys listened to his exciting experiences aa told lp an old barn near the Calbert home. Mr. Calbert is a traveling sales man for the Standard Oil Company, and does not know of his son's disappear ance. KILLED DOG INSTEAD OF FLEAS, William H. Rights, city engineer at Columbus, owned a valuable terrier, bui like dogs less aristocratic,' it ran around the town and brought home fleas. To put an end to the fleas the engineer an. plied a patent flea killer he had pur chased. The preparation killed the dog In a short time, but an examination of the body showed the fleas were still alive and seemed to be enjoying them selves. MEET AND WED IX TWO HOIRJ. A chance meeting of Pleasant Bybee, 21 years old of Kewanna. and Miss Avis Miller, 18 years old, of Francesville, on ja merry-go-round at the street fair be'ing held at Winamac, resulted in the marriage of the parties in less than two hours from the time they met.

- PROPER CHEWING OF FOOD Children Should Be Taught to Masticate Thoroughly and Give the Saliva a Chance. At a recent dental meeting, held in Indiana, a speaker made this statement: "The education of the average man, woman and child has been sadly neglected. They have been taught to eit, but have not been taught to use their teeth. When we bolt our food we ignore one -of the most important ferments, ptyalin, in our saliva, that has much to do in the process of digestion. But the American habit is to spit, and the Americans are the greatest spltters in the world. Between meals they spit out the invaluable saliva; then when they chew, they wash down every unchewed mouthful of food with copious draughts of water, coffee or in summer, Iced tea. What a foolish, disgusting habft it is, and more than foolish, more than disgusting, it is killing in its hurtfulness. A habitual spitter at middle age will have the broken down digestive apparatus of an old man at seventy-five. Men- who bolt their food, who put their saliva out of business, are drug shop chasers and slow suicides." In answer to inquiries addressed to one hundred and fifty leading physicians in this country, 98 per cent- of these physicians said that chewing of food was an im porta at factor towards good health, and that the bolting of food frequently caused cancer, catarrh of the stomach and gastric ulcers. If food is not thoroughly chewed and is permitted to reach the stomach in large lumps or musses, there is no Question that it must injure the soft lining of that organ, producing many of the cases of ulcer and catarrh that need careful and consistent medical attention. It has been said that fully 75 per cent, of the people of this country bolt their food. This habit is usually acquired during the early years of childhood, and carried on. during one'a whole life. In many of the homes the early morning hours are given to preparing the children for school. Very frequently they are permitted to sleep late, and then in the hurry and bustle to get them toBchool on time, the breakfast in bolted. These same conditions of hurried meals apply to the lunch hour and at supper time. From day to day this is permitted, until the habit is firmly established, carried up to manhood and then down through old age. We have a lesson every day of the bolting or food. Walk into the quick lunch room of the cities and Bee these "hustlers" at work. Look down the long row of tables, see the rapid movement of the eating contest, for which prizes are offered to the fellow that gets through first. Many of these lunch rooms advertise how quickly you may be filled from their larder, and take pride in the number that caa be filled in a given tine. It should be the tiuty of all parents to make their ch'ildien eat slowly, and chew their food properly. Nature has placed the teeth in our mouth for a very valuable purpose. If we neg lect to keep them in shape and to properly use them, we are inviting conditions that seriously threaten our health and general welfare. (Copyright, Western Newspaper Union)
