They said your eye was bleared, your vision faulty, your power of prophecy as bad as the Chi cago weather bureau. Give 'em blizzards, ground-hog! NIGHTS WHERE? Ten to one ihe boy who is sent to college by parents who pay his bills sign his report card and get the col lege to take him back when he is fired will never amount to a hill of beans, In a socgy June. Where do you put in your nights, young man? The boy who pays his own way as he goes, or, who works with his hands all day and studies two hours every night at home or Jn a night school will be signing the checks that the other man gets in his pay envelope inside of five or ten years; that is, if your hot-house boy is lucky enough to be getting a pay envelope at all at the end of that time. It is often said that boys and men who study too much of nights are like ly to ruin theif health in a fewl years. We have seen hundreds of young fel lows who have shattered their nerves by bad habits or who have . bleared their eyes and unsteadied their hands by the debauchee that takes place between half past ten and half past one; but we have never been favored with a glimpse of a man of sensible.soclal habits whose health has been .wrecked by study. Did you ever see a young man who

lulled himself 'studying, nights? There may he such people. We elmply say that we have never seen one. If one was seen we Bhould imme-

liately recommend him for a situation in the Dime Museum Department of P. T. Hamum's Great Moral Show. He is a freak of nature. Study means growth , and life, whether for a profession or for business. The "Hit-and-Miss" artist has had his day, and preparation is now necessary for success. Many a. faetgry hand has found the pathway to success through a night school. WHO CAN TELL? We don't care much about this money trust investigation, but we would like to know why a X-epot disappears so quickly after it is broken? SAME OLD STORY. There has been, another bad out break in Gary's black belt and two more murders have resulted, Cary has the same trouble as other cities that have a large Shiftless negro popula tion. The chief of police estimates that there are more than 3,000 blacks in Gary. Of those living together as man and wife few are legally mar ried and this is one of the reasons for much of the crice committed. remaps Governor Marshall now thinks that good moral effects would have come had the vile murderer, George Davis, been strung up by the neck instead of having his sentence commuted and being permitted to spend his days in comfort with a good chance of having Marshall's pardoning board let him out in a few years. The chances are that the two brutes who murdered their victims Monday will be sentenced to hang and then they'll have their sentences commuted Less of the kindness racket and stern er measures is the only thing that is going to bring respect for the law among the Gary blacks who have com mitted four murders in the city in less than a year and who have essayed other serious crimes. In this connection we might men tion that the Gary city court has been too passive and gentle in dealing out deserved justice to some of the blacks For instance, not so long ago, Walter Davis, previously convicted In the courts, was up for robbery. In the kindness ot his heart the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the case If the man left the city. He finally did. but shortly after he left, the court room he committed another t.hett. , DON'T WANT IT. THE TIMES wishes to Kcknowledge the further receipt of another batch of political, press stuff this time from the Roosevelt camp in Washington. It is very choice, very, cute and very clever. We understand another con signment is on its way from the Taft camp and the paper is besieged with a number of free political boiler-plate offers from, other sources. Unfortun ately none of the stuff is accompanied by the necessary 37 cents an inch, and it is just wearing out the waste-basket and the hell-box. . TEDDY'S COFFEE. Isn't this a dear little gem? It is from the Outlook and you know who Is contributing editor, don't you? "The Bituation may perhaps be made clfar by a homely Illustration. When a man says at breakfast in the morning: 'No, thank you, I will not take any more coffe,' it doos not', mean that he will not take any, more coffe tomorrow morning, or next week, or next month ,or net year.'" And yet they say our big Teddy bear is not foxy! Oh, will, he take it? Just accent the "take" as they do in Ohio and the question is answered. IT appears in view of what has been happening that if the average man were pursued by a dictagraph or dlctophone or woteverlnel it is the aforesaid average man . would be like unto the calm and silent clam, says the Joliet Herald. ' - THERE are only three things, in the opinion of the ,.'ew York Sun, which prevent Roose.velt from ' accepting a third term: "The custom of a century. A Solemn promise to the people, Loyalty to a friend." PREACHER says that the average man "won't tell a lie If the truth be easier. Then there are a lot of men who are either below or above the average around here. 13ALTMORE paper is exhorting against over-charging at the June convention. As a certain distinguished citizen remarks, "this is oriiinlous of a damn bad sign." ' .

Well, it is a question whether it suffers more from that or wasted energy.

DON'T go to the Gary Elk's bazaar just because you haven't any other place to go, but go because it is the best place to go. WHEN" you meet an enemy and fail to recognize his enmity it may not be so much in evidence the next time you pass each otfcer. OLD Ed Howe certainly was right when he said it, was a virtue to hate some people as well as 1o love some people. FARMER writes to ask why, if we have any reverence for old age, we keep poking fun at cold storage eggs. THE victlm.8 of Impure politics are always so ready to rail when they simply ought to be ready to vote. ST. PAUL is to have a provident loan , association. Well, that Is one way of dealing with sharks. SAD awakening for the gentilhomme who thinks that the back-bone of win ter is broken or even bent. MR. Castleman is getting almost as fussy as the man who insists on hanging Up his own night-shirt. STLYES in ladies' hats are to be smaller this year. For which we utter three silent cheers. NOTHING is impossible at that ex cept that Mr. Knotts will never be gov ernor. THE per capita share is Wonder who's got our $34.50? $34.61. HEARD BY R U jB E LENT is now upon us. IF some of the railways having bad wrecks would pay more attention to business Instead of blaming the rail mill there would be less lives lost. "BAR ASSOCIATION TO BE RE-OR GAN1ZED." Times' headlines. For how long? THE mayor of Chicago has appointed a Chinese relief commission. In the' absence of any local commissions kindly hand your Chink laundryman your five-spot for the relief fund and he'll see that it reaches those who heed It. THE pe-pull or Lake county want Tom Knotts for governor. All right, here goes for Henry Price for attorneygeneral. "SEES peril In shams,' refers to an eastern professor. He means religious shamr., and not the old-fashioned kind that grace the wooden bed. NOW WHAT AILED HER f Front "Tae Frl- She Paid" In the Cosmopolitan.) "She grew cold with fear and with repulsion. She tieither yielded to his embrace nor shook it off. He kissed her on the throat, kissed the lace over her bosom, etc." AS our old friend SI Lence suggests one-half of the world will soon be putting its winter clothes away In moth balls and the other half in three balls. AS LONG AS THE WORLD fiOKS AROUND. We notice that one of the youthful orators at th forthcoming dinner Of the Trl Mu Boys club of Gary Is to talk on, "How to Keep a Girl.' Good subjct to study as ten years hence, when they marry they'll be grappling -with the otic on how to keep a woman. A PITTSBURG pastor says that the good in us Is due to an angel germ.

Such a condition in intolerable in a republic. Such power would not be permitted to exist j long under a modern monarchy, and i should not under any other form of j ' Civilized government. i That something must be done to curb' this power is admitted by all thoughtful people who have the Interest of tlxi United States at heart.
