THE TIMES ta published la the beat aeea always Intended to promote tae SENSATIONAL

It may be all right for a minister of the gospel to-use sensational methods to induce people to come, to his church, but to try to set them there by calling at their homes on the Lord's day in a police patrol wagon which clatters up to the house amid the din of the pounding of a big bass drum savors to us of a hideous farce and a travesty on religion. If people will not go to church unless they have to be hauled there in a patrol wagon ominous of thugs, blacklegs and fallen women, they will never go. As to the energy of the Rev. Nelson Trimble of Gary and his religious enterprise, against them there is not a word to be said.- but his latest escapade does the cause of religion no good. It is shockingly irreverent. Of course it was a great piece of advertising for the cider, but what good did it do the cause of holiness? When did a preacher ever MAKE a man go to church? To make a joke of religion is in mighty poor taste. '

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS. True bravery is shown by performing without witness whaS one might be capable of doing before all the world, says a contemporary to a newspaper. A friend whom you have been gaining through a whole life you ought not to be displeased with in a moment. A etone Is many years In becoming a ruby; take care that you do not destroy it in an instant against another stone. The meaning of the music goes deep. It leads to the edge of the inI finite and letg lis for a moment gaze into that. Some qualities Nature carefully fixes and transmits but some, and those the finer, she exhales the breath of the individual as too costly to perpetuate. But I notice also that they become fixed and permanent in any ' stock, by painting them and repainting them on every Individual, until at last Nature adopts and bakes them into her porcelain. Sorrows are gardeners; they plant flowers along wast places and teach vines to cover barren heaps. Every man measures others by. himself he has only one standard. When a man ridicules certain traits in other men, he ridicules himself. How - would he know; other men were contemptible did he not look into his own heart and there see the hateful thing? God gives every bird it3 food, but does not throw it into 'the nest.

, W. R. HEARST AGAIN. The most important political development of the week in a national sense was the return of William Randolph Hearst to the democratic fold and his realignment "with the party. The news dispatches teil tis that. Mr. Hearst's expressed intention of realigning himself with the democratic party presages presentation of the publisher's name to the New York delegation as candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, according to Oscar W. Underwood, democratic floor leader of the house of representatives. Mr. Underwood made the forecast in an interview, and declared he thought 'the Hearst following in the California delegation to the next democratic convention would support Hearst. If Mr. Hearst chooses to be a presidential candidate again be will be a formidable candidate, for he is strongly intrenched. His services to the democratic party, his fight for sound money and against the flesh-pots of Egypt are worthy of recognition. He ha? done a great deal for the democratic party despite the scoffing that has been done at him by members of his own party. His entrance into the party councils at this time is especially significant, and that he i;s more a factor to be counted with henceforth than he ever was before is an established fact.

TO TELL THE TRUTH. Somewhat of a new era in the relation of railway officials to the public has started as the result of the publication of an official bulletin by the Missouri Pacific railway giving the results and causes of an accident that occurred near Omaha the other day. This is a radical change from the old policy of concealment. It does away with the custom of dismissing officers and employes who were suspected of giviirg information to the press, and it removes the Obstacles against le?;al investigations. We venture to predict that the new policy will benefit this corporation more than it does the press. Efforts to prevent the publication of facts have always caused suspicion, which often aroused more adverse judgment than that which a corporation sometimes rightfully deserved. j More than one Lake county corporation can follow this new departure and

be better off for it.

THE MAN WHO IS NOT AFRAID TO CHANGE HIS MIND. We respect the man who has courage enough to change his mind when convinced that he is mistaken. The hopeless: individual is the one who makes up his mind and then sticks to his conclusion unswayed by argument or his own best judgment. The man who never changes his mind is one lacking in intelligence and good sense, says the Benton Harbor Palladium. There is no one wise euough to be always right, and when he discover that we are on the wrong track the best thing to do is to take the right road as soon as possible. It has been, truly said that "A wise man sometimes changes his mind, but a fool never."1

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTTf CAMERON

The other day I was asked to write something which I had no Idea how to word. I asked four people what to say. Three of them answered, "I'd say something like this" and then madee some vague and indefinite suggestion. The fourth took a paper and pencil, and wrote his suggestion In definite, finished form. The fourth is an unusually successful young business man. I wonder how much of his success he owes to the habit which this little incident shows he possesses the habit of deflniteness. I believe that the habit of infinite thought Is one of the most common weaknesses that keep men and women from accomplishing things. It is so much easier to think and talk and plan and live In "glittering generalities," to make up one's mind to say something like this," to plan undertakings in vague and sketchy outlines, than to be definite and accurate in one's thoughts and words and plans. Of course, the indefinite and general Idea must come first, and the definite and concrete afterwards, but the trouble with many people is that they nevfer get beyond that first stage. The indefinite idea la the powder the concrete plan or thought Is the shot. And the reason so many of us make much racket, but never hit the Council has forty-six anions affiliated with it. representing a membership of 5,030. There are also a number of unaffiliated unions, including the railway brotherhoods. he work of the label section of the 3an Francisco Labor Council, in pushing the use of union brooms, has resulted in such an increase in demand that all the brooom makers in that city now are employed. The union of glass workers and glaziers of Sacramento has been granted an Increase of 60 cents a day under an agreement effective Nov. 13. The men will receive $4.69 a day, with half-holiday on Saturday. The San Francisco Lumber Clerks" association, the Lumber Handlers union and several other labor organisations engaged in practically the same industry, are considering a proposition to amoisramate under on charter. There are now In the building trades alone In the United States and Canada i approximately 7.000 men who are working an eight-hour day and at a wage 20 per cent higher than the wages flfteene years ago. The International Association of Machinists has Increased the per capita tax from 45 cents to 75 cents per month so as to be ready to finance a general Btrike in case one should be calU-d. Hy thl change the income will be Increased from $600,000 to $1,000,000 a ; year. New York's wage-earners number 1.I 400.000, of which the workers In fac- ' tories lead all the rest with a total of 600,000. The store clerks are next In line with 290,000. There are 220,000 laborers and mechanic, 58.000 men In the liquor business. 45.000 office workers. 40,000 In the printing trades, 2t.000 educators. 8.000 church workers, 6,000 lawyers and 5,000 physicians.'

I know a man with such a passion for deflniteness that he always meets ny general statement by saying, "Such as, which Is his way of demanding a concrete example of the generality. He says that half the time the person who makes the general statement cannot give any concrete example. When I was out driving the other day, I passed two farms were produce was offered for sale. On the sign at one farm was printed: "All kinds ef farm produce for sale." At the other place was a sign which read: '"For sals Farm produce. Fresh eggs, celery, squashes, cider, apples and lettuce." The broad generalisation of the sign made no appeal to me. The deflniteness of the second reminded me that I wanted some celery and brought out my poeketbook. So deflniteness won out a It always dee.
