'HOW WE ARE GOUGED' Socialist Lecturer Wants to Tell Us About ItThe socialists are sending to East Chicago as the first number on their lyceum course Arthur Brooks Baker, who Is going to talk to us about "How We Are Gouged." Seems lo us the socialists have an ungovernable penchant for selecting irritating subjects. If we have to be gouged, and according to our trust and tariff experts we do, why not have It over with and forget It? Really, we don't need the talented lecturers of the socialist party to keep It ever in our minds. Of the two sides of the socalist philosophy, give us the bright one every time. Don't tell us how we are gouged,

AETHUK BROOKS attk, Tell us how every working man can , have a home of his own and feed his family three good meals with four hours' work a day, and spend the rest x of his time sitting In two-dollar seats at the ball game rooting for the home team. It may not be true. It may not be half as true as the undisputed, undeniable, cast-iron fact that we are being gouged by the sugar trust. But It s so much more interesting! Mr. Baker is going to lecture at Moss hall. East Chicago on March 9. Why not get up a petition asking him to forget how we are gouged and paint us one of those beautiful word pictures about five dollars a day for' four hours.

REPUBLICANS MEET TONIGHT Republicans of Gary will meet at the Blnzenhof hall tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock to elect eight delegates and eight alternates to the Lake and Porter county judicial convention, which Is to be held in Valparaiso next Saturday. Republicans of Calumet township outside of Gary will meet at the Griffith town hall. The township is entitled to one delegate. W. V. Hodges, Gary's candidate for the prosecutorship nomination, Is very optlm stic over his chances for reelection. Committeeman Punrhen Another. Considerable fun Is being had at the expense of the township republican committee. At the last meeting several of the more patriotic wanted to make speeches and each man was limited to to minutes. It appears that John Bennett objected to Martin Bennett over-lapping the time limit and that as John went to gently push Martin Into his seat, so another committeeman says, John swat Martin too hard, and Martin hit the floor with such force that he got a bloody noae. John didn't mean to be so rough, and there Is talk of putting either Judge Huber or a partition between the two cousins the next time the committee meets so as to ward off any telling blows. TRIES TO BREAK UP HOUSEKEEPING East Hammond Man Filled With Mountain Dew Grew Riotous. John Baze of East Hammond was arrested early this morning' by Special Officer Mike Zlvlch of the Standard Steel Car works after he had tried to break up housekeeping In the rooming house of Mary Grosso. He was brought to the police station, where he was booked on a charge of malicious trespass. Filled . with squirrel booze, John commenced action about 1 o'clock, when he awoke the boarders in the building by his cursing and said he was going to kill them all. He was asked to be quiet, but he refused and went on cursing as before. Soon tired of this he left the building, where he went to a saloon nearby and filled up with more whisky. He came back again about 3 o'clock, when he found the door was locked. Unable to get in he used a beer bottle as a club and soon had all the window lights out in front of the house. An officer was then called and he was placed under arrest. His trial came up before Judge Barnett this mornir.g. where he was found guilty and fined 12 and costs, amounting to $12. Attorney O. C. White appeared as special prosecutor. REFORM ELEMENT SUREJF VICTORY Miss Brooks Thinks Its Election Is Practically Assured. Miss Virginia Brooks says that conservatively speaking the reform ticket In West Hammond is gaining so much strength that the election of Wosiciynski, Mankowskl and Kamradt Is a foregone conclusion. She says that these candidates, not only have great strength on the south side, but they are strong on the north side. Their suocess will, of course, mean the success of the other candidates on the reform ticket. Miss Brooks is campaigning actively. One of her best arguments is a fac-sltri. lle of a warrant that was Issued by Treasurer Goyko of West Hammond, which did not bear the signature of the president of the village. It Is said that thin occurred so long ago that criminal proceedings cannot be instituted, but that a civil action win be started to recover the money. Bondsmen will be made a party to the suit. Miss Brooks has compiled figures j showing the enormous sums that have been paid out in attorney's fees by the

officials of the present administration. It Is said that the amount Is over S10.000. She then has the figures to show

that In the town of Evanston that the amount expended for attorney's fees in the same length of time was only S3,800. Other of the gross extravagances of the past administration, including the attempt to saddle a $21,000 bond issue on the village for the purpose of building the Blue Island power line, will be re-cailed. The compalgn Is to be a house-to-house canvas. Miss Brooks says that the village was never so much alive to Us duty as It Is today. She says that the spirit of civic pride has been aroused and that West Hammond will for the first time !n Its historv, be cleaned up effectually and thoroughly. DR. T.riLHS AHfilVERSARY PARTY Hammond Dentist Remembers When Pete Meyn Got His First Teeth. rr. T. Edwin Bell is today celebrating the. twenty-five anniversary of his establishment In the dentistry business in Hammond. The doctor asks that the public be given the impression that he was very young when he started. His first patient, the books show, was "a little German boy;" his next was Peter W. Meyn and his third patient was John Fred Krost. This may throw some light on the ages of these men. Dr. Bell has documentary evidence that they both had teeth that long ago. Dr. Bell opened an office on the ground floor of the building that Is now occupied by Brandt's meat market. He has been In on the ground floor In everything in Hammond since that time. At that time Hammond was a struggling village, but like most of the early pioneers. Dr. Bell had faith In it and today the growth of the city has justified that faith. When visited by a Times' reporter Dr. Bell's office was filled with flowers, which had been presented by friends and members of his family. He was asked for statistics regarding the number of teeth he has pulled, the number of fillings he has made, the number of teeth he has crowned and the number of plates he has made, the number of laughs he has' got from gas. but owing to the fact that he was very busy with a patient it was impossible to get this information. Today the doctor is receiving the lungrmuiauons or nis many friends and his springy step, splendid good health and jovial manner indicate that he is still a young xnan in spite of his twenty-five years of professional activity. ARMED WITH HUG LICENSE-USES RAZOR Joe Tesso Thought Parchment Gave Him Permit to Slay or Kill. What do you think of a man who Imagines that because he has an old Illinois hunting license in his pocket it gives him warrant to hunt humans? Such a case developed In Judee Prest's court yesterday afternoon, when Joe Tesso was being tried on a charge of drawing a concealed and dangerous weapon. Tesso thought the license would be a strong point in his favor and he was so sincere In his belief that he drew the Illinois hunting license from his pocket and handed it to the court, thinking1 it would give him protection from the strong arm of the law. When he was taking the precious document from his pocket the judg thought that another razor was coming forth and started, to make a quick retreat to the corner of the room. But Judge Prest couldn't se whpre a hunting license had anything to do with humanity, so he assessed a fine of $1 and costs, finding the defendant guilty. Tesso was arrested Monday afternoon at the C. & O. yards, where a free-for-all fight between some Italians and Roumanians took place. The fight followed a quarrel In which the rival nationalities took part. Unable to make any headway with his fists Tesso drew a large razor from his pocket and would have used It if it had not been for a burly negro, who took him. into camp and held Tesso until the arrest was made by Constable Huber.

The proposition which Manager Green made the Hammond Manufactur ers' association was not at all satis factory, according to a prominent mem ber of that association, and steps will ba taken at once to come back at the Green line with a counter proposition. A letter is now being drawn up in wbjch the demands of the Hammond Manufacturers' association will be fcuIincd in details and this will be sent to A. L. Drum, the operating manager or tne company. It will also be published In all of the papers of the city. In the meantime if a more satisfactory proposition is not made there will be a joint meet ing of all of the Improvement assoqla tlons In th city and the traction sit uatlon will be thoroughlv gone over. The members ot the manufacturers' association rather expected that the company would hedge on the nronosi- , non or accepting its plans for Improved service, out declare that they did not think that it would come back with such an unsatisfactory proposition. The association is now going after the proposition stronger than ever. ana it nopes to be able to eet some thing like the service that it believes the city deserves. Lodge Assemblies. The members of the Protected Home Circle entertained with a card party and dance- last evening In the old Masonic Temple in State street.

Pedro was played and after several rames the honors were awarded. The young people enjoyed a program of dances following the card games. The members of Silver Light Hive L. O. T.

SCHMUESSER BETTER. Victim of Operation Is Recovering. John Schmueser, the painting contractor, who underwent a severe abdo minal operation at St, Luke's hospita'l, Chicago, is recovering nicely. He was at the hospital three weeks, and returned to his home in Clinton street last Saturday. He is able to be up and around, and hopes to be strong enough soon to be at his place of business again. For a time Mr. Schueser was a very sick man, and his many friends aree glad to hear of his reco-ery. ANOTHER SCENARIO ACCEPTED Mrs. Myrtle Champaign Wright, 60 Sibley street, Hammond, who is look- 1 ing up as a prolific writer of moving picture scenarios, has received word from the Melles company, telling her that her western ' drama, Hoskins' i Nell," has been accepted. This is the . tenth scenario that Mrs. Wright has; had accepted, and it will in all proba-' bllity be shown In Hammond either at j the Orpheum or at the Trlncess the- ; atre. Several other plays that she has . written are In the hands of the editors. Mrs. Wright Is also the author of "Her Heart's Idol." and her many friends hoped" that it would be shown in Hammond, but it appears that it has been delayed because the first film on which It was produced was acci-j dentally destroyed. j

Dog Is Killed.

The beautiful black Gordon setter, owned by Joseph Miller of Hammond.' was run over by the t;19 Monon passenger train Tuesday. The dog lost a hind leg and the end of its tail and it was necessary to kill it. It is valued at $100. The log evidently did not see the train and in his confusion ran under one of the cars. It was a registered dog of very fine breeding. Hunter Very 111. Grant Hunter, who underwent a severe abdominal operation last fall, suffered a relapse last week and since then has been very sick.

Hoffman of the First Presbyterian church, who has been at St. Margaret's hospital, Hammond, since last Friday night, owing to an attack of pneumonia, is reported to be improving rapidly and hopes to be out of the hospital some time next week. ' Great Meetings. The largest week night congregation and the strongest sermon of the series of revival meetings was enjoyed at the Methodist church last night. The standard set up by the sermon was on work. Nehemiah, who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in 52 days had done go by zeal that was coined into work. People do not work till they are in dead earnest. Nobody wonders at the zeal of politicians and the hurrahs of campaigns. Why should they be surprised when Christians arouse to far greater things? Men go to every kind of sacrifice to get wealth. Why should not the saving of men be as eagerly done as mining coal or gathering a narvest? The "always at it and never give up" nristian is the only genuine kind. Evangelist McDonald s sermon was the most telling on he has yet delivered. No one can charge him with lack of enthusiasm. lie paid his respects to theatrical seductions and to the curse of a saloon-ridden community and no one was; left in doubt about his attl1 1 TTA 1 . . . 1 ... gives ou.ir.ie iiae an on slaught of riflemen.

Before washing lace collars baste them closely on a piece of white cloth. They will not be stretched 'nor torn. If no starch is put In them they will look like new. Most housewives use the broom dish cloth, made of cord attached to a handle, which is vastly more convenient than the old method of Immersing the arms to the elbows. There are many ways of saving the firing, which at its present price Is a heavy item in household expenditure. All ashes should be sifted. Cinders mixed with coal dust and household refuse may be burned and will give out a good heat. Moreover, burning refuse is a more sanitary way pf disposing of it than emptying it into the dust bin.
