Providence Newa-Democrnt. OH LOVELY WOMAN! Somehow in this day and genera tion it is n longer possible to even insinuate that women are not able to tab- n , ion: ui misjiiseives. rne man who tells you that a woman's brain is lighter and of an inferior quality than a masculine cerebrum and cere bellum, brands himself bb an imbecile Here is a woman, a bride of a day, weighing 18o pounds, who asks for a divorce. On what grounds does this tender little clinging vine ask for divorce? Simply that she lost her birth certificate and wants to annul I. . uer marriage on that account. Intri cate plea? Well, rather! She is evi dently trying to prove that as she was never born she could not have been married. And yet they say that it is a snap to sit on a bench and mete out justice! THE INTEGRITY OF COURTS Today the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois will be in the throes ot a judicial election. The campaign has been notable for the reason that it has been necessary for the metro politan papers to point out the dan gers, nrst, ot corporate influence in the selection of judges, 'Sind secondly, of general indifference on the part of citizens which might result in the se lection of inefficient judges by the floating vote of the slum districts. Wtyle the slimy trail of graft ha been found in Lake county, principal ly among the officers of the larger mu nicipal corporations, the people of this county are to be congratulated upon' the fact that its judges, without exception, are efficient, honest men. There are liow three judges in Lake county and the fourth, who alternates between Lake and Porter counties. All four of them are men of unquestioned integrity and ability. They are a credit to the bar of the county and state. Lake county now has a number of large corporations, but eo far they have never attempted to use their influence in the selection of judges that ' would be friendly to their interests. Exact justice. In so far as it is possible to deal out justice under our ritimsy method of judicial procedure, has been meted out to criminals of high and low degree. If there has been a complaint made against the courts of the county is has been against the juries and not the judges. So Lake county may congratulate

itself .on the fact that its courts are became very much incensed, threatclean, that its judges ate not under ened to fight and said that was his the thumb of - the corporations and busin?;

that its citizenship holds the office to be of such importance that only the beat men are eligible.

DO YOU RECALL TRAPPERS? We clip this from the Lake County Star: The trappers were allowed to get after the fur bearing aniiruuls last Wednesday, but fur in Lake county is scarce, while up to twenty years ago it was a gold mine. The Kankakee and Calumet regions were the homes of rats, mink and other animals, and besides every pond, creek and water hole furnished 6onie A trapper with a good "claim" those days was nearly sure of reaping a reward of from two to eight hundred dollars for his fall and spring work." Every wek Editor Wheeler of The Star has some philosophic reflections in his paper regarding the changes that are coming over the county. Down the state they refer to their pioneer trappings days and place the year 1830 after them. But here in Lake county the high school lad still retains a memory of trapping days. A decade ago, before Gary was born, and Indiana Harbor was just springing into existence, the north part of the county was the trapper's paradise. So rapid is our advance that we do not have to lcok back far to recall the muskrat and the water hole and yet the work accomplished seem to place the trapping days back to a half a cenutry ago rather than to the near days of a decade or two. TRAGEDIES OF THE POOR. The sad story of another child which fell into a tub of boiling-water and was scalded to death is only an other of life's saddest tragedies. This happened where the mother, who had to do washing for a living, left the baby in the kitchen while she was pre paring lunch for the other children when they came home from school. It is only another case where one poor woman had too much to do. The real sorrows of life happen in the homes of the poor. DEGRADATION OF A CITY. Mark Twain once wrote a story in which he explained how a single man with a strong personality, a suave, affable manner and adjustable morals was able to corrupt an entire community. That man found a city lawabiding, honest and contended. He transformed it into a city of grafters. A few years ago Lake county was contaminated in the same manner by Chicago influences. The present affluence of several Lake county citizens dates back to the old pilzcfight and race track days. Michigan City Is now under the stigma of a contamination that is even worse. In Michigan 'City the morals of the community are being degraded in the interests of "business." We, from the outside who have visited that fair city, know it to be a fact. It is patent. . Why is it? The corruption of the city began with the establishment of a line of excursion steamers between Chicago and Michigan City. Every day during the summer season the excursion boats would deposit between 500 and 1.000 people in the fity. These pec pie were, for the most part, the rougher element of the city of Chicago. They went to Michigan City in search of adventure. They spent money in the saloons, restaurants and stores. Michigan City prospered with the trade of the excursionists. The town lid was lifted Bky high. Did any one complain that the city was wide open? That complain was hushed up by the explanation that an open town is a good town for business. Thus it is seen that evenS"ue mer chants were willing to profit indirectly by the lowering of the moral tone of the city. Conditions became amaz ingly corrupt. Saloonkeepers violated the law with impunity. Winerooms were the ad junct of every groggery. Brothels flourished. Vice flaunted itself in the face3 of the citizens. "The Bucket of Blood," one of the notorious places of the city ran on unmolested. And after a while it was noticed that the contamination had spread to the citizens of Michigan City. The best people had winked at gross immorality so long that the daughters of some of them came to have liberal ideas and became habltutes of wine rooms or brazenly walked the streets in search of adventure. Judge Harry B. Tuthill in a statement from tie bench in the superior court in Michigan City, said that the prosecutor had the names of fifty girls under the age of 17 years who were in the habit of frequenting wine rooms. Others say that number is fully 200 The father of a girl who was seen frequenting a wine room was informed of the fact by a fraternity brother and

When a number of saloonkeepers, resort keepers, young girls and boys were arraigned in court it was noticed that the resort keepers rode to court in automobiles and paid their fines out of the cash bond they had put up. This is the story of the corruption of Michigan City in the interests of BUSINESS. It is the old. old story of parental neglect that leads to the ruin of young girls. The hideous face of vice no longer terrifies the people of Michigan City. They have grown accustomed to it. '

TRUE RELIGION. People of Baltimore, who know Cardinal Gibbons best, love him for his genuine democracy, says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican; At certain hours of the day he is acces sible to all visitors. Busy as he is with the large affairs of his church, he has never allowed a barrier to arise between himself and his neighbors. At his annual reception all classes and religious denominations are repre sented to do him honor. Only recent ly a prominent Hebrew citizen at his death left a large sum of money to the cardinal "to do with as he wishes." The Philadelphia Telegraph recalls that not so very long ago the vener able prelate prayed at the side of a dying Episcopalian "not as an inter loper but as a Christian minister who recognizes the full import' of the brotherhood of man and the father hood of God." It is added: "Cardinal Gibbons has even appeared in a Meth odist church to attending a meeting called for the promotion of public wel fare work. His ministry has done more perhays, to reconcile the views of American Christian than any other one man." CHICAGO'S health commissioner vows emphatically that strong winds make the city sanitary. Yea bo, they do. Also the strong winds around Hammond, on their joyous way from the Globe stink factory raise particu lar Ned with the olefactory nerves, blessed, or perha.ps cursed, with large beaks. ONE of the most pitiable thingsNn the world is a partisan republican newspaper depending on the pie-counter for its livelihood, trying to make people believe that there is naught but peace and harmony in the republican party today. IT is good advice, but few will accept the warning from an editor who said: "Don't demand free publicity from a newspaper. Speak kindly to the editor man. He will notice it, all the more particularly because it will seem so odd to him." DEMOCRATIC investigating com mittee blames the republicans for vice in New York. Wre should be very cautious about making any remarks anent this until the republican Inves tigating committee gets busy. CLUB women attending a New York federation convention were not permitted to wear hats. Yes, but they don't care about that. Suppose the edict was that they, were not to wear any rats? AS if to prove that a married man's troubles never end, we note that the newest style 6hoes for women are diked out with eighteen buttons. This will add materially to the high cost of living. COME down to it, we don't see why a married man has any more right to spend all his evenings in a club house than his wife has to go and do likewise. IF the Gary bribery cases could all be nicely disposed of by Thanksgiving, how gladly would we all go to the turkey and its sidekicks the cran berries. GROUCHY old maid says woman who lived to be 100 years of age with out being kissed by a man, never missed much. N. THANKSGIVING is set this year Nov. 30, despite the fact that there are four Thursday in the month .TAPAN has over 500 earthquakes a year, so Gary will have to take a back seat as far as quakes are concerned. WITH 167 indicted saloonkeepers at Michigan City, the town seems to be trying to out-Gary Gary. AFTER it is all over, somebody is sweetly calling for a safe and sane Hallowe'en. ' WELL, have any of your sons been killed yet this year' playing football?

Although it may be President Taft's ambition to end war for all time by means of arbitration treaties Setween nations, he isn't too idealistic to realize the peace provoking qualities of an all powerful navy. The president's face, as the great flleet of battleships assembled In New Vork harbor swept past him on review Thursday, while he stood on the deck of the presidential yacht I'ayflower, was a study of pride and pleasure. In a formal statement issued afterward he declared for a bigffer navy and a higher ranking for our rear admirals. The president and Secretary Meyer are shown In the upper picture leaving the flagship after the Inspection which preceded the review.

GOETZ OF SOUTH BEND 10 LAND CHA1WJSH1P

TIMES BlBEAf, AT STATE CAPITAL 7. From Indianapolis, Ind., Nov rewort has such a reasonable foundatlon that it makes him look like the real candidate for the place. Goetz s supporters are counting on a united I party behind him. They say that he is the one man in all of the state that lean take hold of the party in the next campaign and carry it through the, campaign without any friction on any side. TNnc.i wliA hnt' hArn hv hn talking nf Goetz have been feeling out the memI bers of the party on the matter more than anything else, and it is said that they have found him to be so popular and so satisfactory to ail factions of the party that his election to that po.illnn to.mi1I a irnA start In the cum. ing campaign. It is known, too. that I Goets spent several days at Frencn Uck, recently, and it is known further that no Democrat can go to French mlliute! wlthout ta,k politics. It is the fountain head of all Democratic politics in Indiana, and if the real truth of all that transpires there could be learned It would make f-xtremely Interesting reading for everybody in the state. Not much has been said about Goetz publicly. All of the talk about him as a possible candidate for state chairman has been under cover, for the purpose of finding out Just how an announcement I would take wlta the party. Those who have been urging his name put lortn several very potent reasons Why lie I would be the right man for the Job. In the logical candidate. Northern Indiana has not nan a l'emocratic staie 'chairman for many years. The Democrats say that they are going to pay more attention to the north part of the state from now" on han hey ever did before. They say they have found that northern Indiana is susceptible terri tory to the spread of Democratic docirin. Tt ia notntpn nut that tha electUn rcsuUs in recent years ha9 shown this to be the fact. Up until the last two . f fl.n a tVlA T)( TT1 DP T fl t ft h(t rtflirf utUo attentlon to the northern counties, so far as state politics was con cerned. The state of Indiana seemed to be divided by a sort of Mason and Dixon line, which gave the Democrat" supremacy in the south half and the Republicans control of the north half. In the northern counties the Demo-..-fn, nrs entertained little hunft Industries had located in them, bring iiiaiiuio-1 u ----- - ling ln thousands of workmen from all lover the country, and that these men 1 nearly all voted the Republican ticket. I Now. however, the Democrats say j they have found that this Is fertile soil for their efforts, and that they are con-

' -'.-' -jf m , -

From the inside of the Democratic circle comes the news that Goeta is looked upon as the strongest man !n facturers than any other man In that ' part of the state. If he will only go out and do it The Democrats who are figurlng on bringing him Into the race for state chairman say that campaign tunas next year will be a scarce article in both parties, and that the man that can collect in the most money Is the most desirable man for state chairman. I When vou oolnt out to these Democrats that South Bend was for a numer ' me uallIC v.-. tne most inner pari iib" (vr Known in wie ucmn.iwi. ,., ... , l"a ' .Edward Fogarty, former mayor, on tho other, they come back at you and say , '

naianei. xncy i huw ......., . more, w.y " , tnese man ts a is mv , " . " , I tlon as state chairman would be entiresatisfactory to all elements of th 'party. ' 1 The Democratic machine in St. Joseph county Is said to be behind Goetz in the race for the state chairmanship. Another thing that Is looked on with a good deal of satisfaction by those who are booming Goetz Is the fact that since Fogarty have settled their difficulties and become political friends again it would mean that Goetz would be satisfactory to Governor Marshall as a candidate for state chairman, for Fogarty is no wa member of the Governor's ofiiclal family, the Gorernor having appointed hi mas warden of the state prison at Michigan City. It is not claimed that Fogarty represents at all times the view's of the Governor, but that bare fact that Goetz would be sat isfactory to the Fogarty crowd is believed to place him in a position where the Governor could not object to him. That Goetz would be satisfactory to Taggart and his followers is well known. There is another phase of the Goetz matter, also, that is entering Into the state chairmanship race. Senator Shively will want to have his hand on the party organization from now on, because he will be a candidate for reelection as United States senator Jn 1911. He will not be so vitally Interested ln the organization next year as he will two years later, but he knows it is time to begin looking after his fences for 1914. Shively and Goetz both live at South Bend, and It Is understood that Goetz as state chairman would be entirely satisfactory to Shively. If Shlve- . - - - position where he can arrange things in his own Interest for the following campaign, when he will have his official life at stake. It will be remembered that last year Governor Marshall compelled the stale convention to -nominate for United States senator, instead of following the old custom of allowing the legislature to use its own pleasure. This resulted.

w r

r

in the utter rout ot the Taggart forces, who opposed the Governor's plan. Shively was temporary chairman of the convention and made a speech In which, he fought against the overnor'n plan and urged the convention to decline to make any nomination for United State Senator. But the convention refused to listen to him, and decided by a majority of thirty votes to make a nomination. It selected John V. Kern for the place. Now, since this precedent has been set by the Democratic state convention it Is not at all unlikely that the next star convention may do the same thing, not care to take the chance. 1 neretore, : a state, organization that would be friendly to him next year would d m a position to do a great deal toward v " " "' h'P out of the etate convention ln 1914 This Shively feature of the Goet talk Is regarded here as one of the main reasons why the inside of the machine is planning to make Goetz chairman. The machine Is for Shively and naturally it would do anything that might advance his chances for re-election. The talk about Fubius Gwln. of Shoals, for state chairman. Is said by some of those on the inside to be mere talk. They say that he Is not going ta bps elected, but that the talk is for the purpose of aking It easier for him to iSecond district. It has been generaly Bal(1 that Gwin was the Taggart canI didate for state chairman, but the Goet talk has taken the wind out of that proposition. None of the other candi dates thus far mentioned for the place is regarded as strong, and none of them has a chance, according to the latest Information. Goetz Is the one best bet, accordin gto the latest Inside information. DAILY FASHION HUT. A Nlns Oore Skirt.
