R. QUILLAN. A MODERN SHIPWRECK. Shipwrecks don't have the glamour about them that they used to. Compare the sinking of the "Indiana" off Chicago a couple of days ago. It went down three or four miles of shore but thanks to the enterprising newspapers of today the reporters and camera men fere there and recorded the whole affair from the time the passengers and crew left tho doomed vessel until they landed safely at dock. And the ship sank in time for the five o'clock editions which contained pictures of the whole proceedings including the shipwrecked ones escaping on the ice. DECENCY TRIUMPHED. West Hammond has redeemed itself. The four years fight on the part of the reform element to save this modern Sodom, from destruction has been won as a result of the triumph of the reform ticket headed by K. M. Woszczynski the reform candidate for the nomination for mayor. , - ' The action of the citizens of West Hammond in the primary yesterday in administering a decided rebuke to the members of the old grafting ring indicates that West Hammond still

has some pride .some sense of de

cency. The reformers were charged with ruining business and destroying real estate values as a: result of the publicity that has been given to the campaign for reform. They answer, "It Is better for us to hold our property Indefinitely without a prospect of selling it than it is to have it stolen from us by special assesment grafters." The gang of ringsters who have controlled the situation in West Hammond for so long put up a hard fight BUT THEY WERE BEATEN BY THE OVERWHELMING SENTIMENT AGAINST THEMi Knowing that the people's ticket generally wins as a result of the large Polish vote on the south side the crafty gang leaders decided to induce men of their own stamp and stripe to run on that ticket. Their purpose Wa8 a double one. Had Goyke been nominated they would have owned him, soul and body, and he would have beeai putty In their hands. But- they figured even farther. Even in the event of Goyke's defeat they plan to have him raisa enough disturbance in the general election to enable their candidates on the citizen's .ticket to slip throught. But even . this cunning, born of desperation, born of the necessity which forced them to fight desperately for every advantage they have gained in the past four years, availed nothing against the torrent of indignation which was given expression in the vote yesterday. The position of THE TIMES In this fight has been One of consistent opposition to the rule of crooks and dive keepers la West Hammond. SHOULD THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION PROVE TO BE AS CROOKED AS THE LAST IT WOULD MEET WITH EXACTLY THE SAME TREATMENT. THE TIMES is representing a cause in West Hammond and not a set of men. That cause Is the redemption of the village. If the reform ticket had been defeated that defeat would have been heralded as another fight lost by THE TIMES. In the light of jesterday's victory THE TIMES does not claim the credit. THE CREDIT IS DUE TO THOSE SELF SACRIFICING POLISH AMERICANS who have come to West Hammond to teach native Americans how to conduct a clean city government and to the starting of the fight by Virginia Brooks. They propose to substitute native American misgovernnient with Polish American good government. Winning or losing makes but little difference when a paper is on the right side of a question, when a question of decency and honesty is involved. BY ALL MEANS. We note with a great deal of interest an extended article by a sob sister ,to the effect that all wealthy women should be taught to care for babies. She's right, you never can tell what may happen. A SWEET MEMORY. The mention of son-in-law Nick Longworth's name the other day recalled that famous violet speech he made a couple of years ago. At the time 7sTick suggested that pa-pa would be a candidate again although pa-pa had already Issued the famous statement, which is now in the discard. Nick spoke of eight years for William then four more for pa-pa and then four for he was to modest 'to mention his name. However, Nick Intended to give William a better show than pa-pa is doing. He was at least respectable enough to suggest eight years. HATRED. To hate a man, is bad for the blood. That is, it Is bad for YOUR blood. It doesn't do the other fellow's any particular harm. . If, by malignity, through force of evil, thoughts, you could turn a single hair of your enemy, or shrink his bank account, HATRED WOULD BE A BUSINESS ASSET. Skilled and capable haters, with good recommendations, could securt situations at fair salaries in almost any up-to-date business house, and one of the questions asked of every applicant for a position would be "Have you had any successful experience as a hater?" We would have haters unions, schools for hating, and scientific books on the subject; and every loyal employee would have to pledge his willingness TO HATE AFTER BUSINESS HOURS BURNING THE BUSY SEASON. But fortunately for the Book of Gold, hatred is not a business asset. It 13 a liability ;and a man hurts

THE TIMES.

himself through his wish to Injure others. Haman was hung on his own gallows. THERE ARE LOTS OF HAMANS AROUND HERE. Hatred and fighting are essentially different things; for there is some chance of accomplishment through the Big Stick. Milk from contented cows Is good milk; AND THE MAN WHO HATE3 CANNOT PRODUCE. Bill . Sykes would have been a poor business man, and Shy lock's fatal mistake was when he sought to injure another rather than to help himself. IF you see a pale, white little thing, sickly and half starved, wandering around in the woods and you don't recognize it, study it carefully and see if it isn't the Tom Marshall presiden tial boom. IT is announced from Laporte that a feminine Crumpacker is to stump the country against woman's suffrage. You'll notice the words "from Laporte" of course. THERE doesn't seem to be half as much pother made this winter about who wrote "Beautiful Snow" as there is about who is going to be compelled to shovel it. WE trust the man who complained about old-fashioned winters has nothing worse than an old-fashioned attack of grip, but he really deserves that. WOMAN got a divorce from her husband the second time. She evidently forgave and forgot, when she should have forgiven and remembered. WE will never be satisfied until it gets to be stylish for men to have coats that hook up in the back so the missus can see what it is. MIGHT be well for some of these mothers to warn their daughters once again about Ice cream parlors and chop suey houses. WHEN a woman Is stage-struck, it is a cinch that her husband'B admiration has not made Itself as manifest as it should. COURT has decided that pink pajama parties are no grounds for divorce. What color is grounds, judge? WHO ever heard of any one admiring a girl who chewed gum, and yet they will do It. the little jaw-waggers! MR. Taft so far has a hundred delegates and not a struggle, but the rest will probably come harder. CLEVELAND mermaid had her pink silk tights attached for debt. And the weather so fierce, tool. IT is almost time for some prisoner down at the county jail to complain about eating Boap again. NOTICE now that all the anarchistB are against Mr. Taft. Well, what else can you expect? WE suppose you have an advance order in for several neat little shamrocks. WONDER how the tickets are selling for the great bribery benefit? IS Mr. Lafolletfe as much in favor of the recall as he was? CAN it be that somebody is talking through that hat? HEARD BY RUBE JCST now the Marshall-for-presl-dent movement is suffering from lnocuous desuetude. HARDLY a week passes now days that some newspaper doesn't try to sell the Aetna powder mills site. The poor ola Aetna mills had better be nailed down before they are carried away In the rush. OUR Idea of nothing to worry about just now is to how you would store away your furs when the hot weather comes! ONE Hobart society woman is said to be so fastidious thst she uses ten-cent stamps In order to match her stationery. VOlt the benefit of the good people of Center township we will say that the Hobart referred to in the polar dispatches Isn't the one over near tho county line.

MESSRS. Lukoski, Woszczynski. Le.

Wandowskl and Waeherwicx were primary candidates yesterday at West Hammond. This may not interest you. but wo have to have our little fun with the linotype men now and then. .. 'OCR esteemed fellow townsman, A. C. Mllward laid a dozen eggs on our table today." says a Gary newspaper. A. C. if you had laid the egg when the hens were on a strike your efforts would have been appreciated. In any event we have a bum set of Leghorns and any time you feel like laying a dozen on our table drop In. ONE way to guess when there's going to be more wars very soon is to note that The Hague tribunal is clamorlng for universal peace. The north and the south poles have been discovered, but what does it get us? Can a married man get any reduced prices when he buys a hat for tha old woman? PORTER county can blow all It wants to about Its melon crop, but you have to go a long ways before you can beat our little bantam-weight Whiting Its not every day that they cut a nice oily melon worth $29,000,000. IF Messrs. Scott and Amundsen came up to this county they would find Just as many glaciers and icebergs around our own little. Lake Michigan shore. IF a sheet of fly paper were a dollar bill it wouldn't stick to the most of us any longer than the present kind. THE -Gary post Is uncertain whether Jule Caesar was stabbed in the forum or in the abdomen. Make it the appendix for safety's sake. AN Ohio proofreader passed It, "Miss N ls suffering from the heaves." although it was carefully written "hives." His funeral takes place on Thursday. TOM K NOTTS says that he won't ba a candidate for the mayoralty nomination again. Please pass the coffee. GREAT Caesar! What Is this age coming to? The students of the Chicago Veterinary college have organized a fraternity. Order the pennants and the frat pins, William. A PERT! XEXT LETTER. Editor Times: In crossing the Broadway bridge over the Calumet south of Gary I noticed big- cracks in it on the top and on looking over the sides they extend down through the body of the concrete some of the tops of th posts which support the nailing have fallen off or have been knocked off. When the water ls low In the river you can see that the foundation ls crumbling away. It has not been used by the public as long as it took to build It and it cost 137.500. If I needed a bridge I would not give one half the amount for It. The original Superior Court house at Hammond cost $81,879.11. The first rain came after the court house was built It leaked like a slevo and when it got cold they had to ad' Journ court because they could not keep warm. The original brick court house at Crown Point before the late addition waa put on cost $45,000. Every brick In that house was an honest brick and It stood there as a monument to the honesty and Integrity of the men who built it. The two bridges at Indiana Harbor, one to cost $100,000. The county poor farm buildings. are to eost 160,000. Are we to get our money's worth? Or are we to be beat out of about $125,000? S. B. WOODS.

The board of trustees of the Indiana reformatory Is In session and will be busy until tomorrow evening. For the! purpose of acting as parole court, the trustees will meet In a new chamber over the chapel Just fitted up for the work. The room is arranged like a courtroom. From fifty to sixty inmates a month ago before the board, the condition being that they have made a perfect record for six months sino being advanced to the first grade or since their last presentation for parole. As arriving inmates always go in the second grade and must serve there eix months before advancing to the first grade, one year is the tnlnlmum tlmo before action may be taken. FOUND NOT GUILTY. The circuit court jury yesterday returned a verdict of not guilty In the case of the state against William Hagood on the charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill. The prosecuting witness was a sixteen-year-old boy, Clovlce Fry. Hagood Is a! farmer living a short distance west of Bloomfield. On the night of January la party of boys. In passing, began to bombard his residence with stones. Hagood fired his shotgun In tho direc-i tlon from which the stones were com- f lng. Fry was In a buggy In the road at the time, and It was proved that he ' had nothing to do with the stone throwing, but the defense took the ' ground that If In the protection of his home a man injuries an innocent bystander he could not be held guilty.

The possessor Is proprietor of a Greek candy kitchen, and when time permits, or official title and signature are necessary, gats by thla this:. Pappatheodorokokoummountaourgeotopoulos, a cross between a sneeze and a sneer. When said P-and-so-on Is In a hurry he signs his name Speros Michels. The shortest name in Elkhart is that of John Bi, who wins over Oscar Ek, who held the record two years ago. It It declared that Elkhart county holds th unquestioned title to the shortest name In the state Ed Ek. He says hU

Barne, at Hope, was a quiet affair, but what happened right after the wedding was not so peaceful. Some Hope youths armed themselves with pots and pans, "horse fiddles," tin horns, shooting arms, etc., and proceeded to conduct an old-fashioned charivari. Justice Henry Barnes it father of the bride and it was at his home the newly weds were staying. Anything antagonistic to peace Is said to work on the justice's nerves. Ha clashed with the noise makers, but they continued their noise. Then J. shotgun barked from the Barnes home and Harry Splcer and Harry Howsrd, boys In the crowd, found themselves wounded. Splcer waa shot In bne hand and one leg whila Howard waa ahot in one leg. They accuse Justice Rarnes and say they will prosecute. Barnes threatens to prosecute . the whole crowd for disturbing the peace. WHITE CAP CASES MAY EXD. AH except one member of the Monroe county council is opposed to appropriating any monejr for further prosecutions of whitecaps, a suggested by Governor Marshall. Their views on the question were made known in personal interviews. TWEXT DOGS KILLED. Two mad dogs, owned by Charles Bass and Chalk Harris, living near Bengal, were killed yesterday with shotguns. The dogs were bitten by the Charles Bowen dog, which was killed two weeks ago after it had bitten twenty-five dogs and some liva stock. At least twenty dogs have already been killed. Henry Babb, who was treating one of his hogs that had been bitten, put his hand in its mouth and. having a sore on the hand, it became affected. He applied a mad stone, which clung two hours to the Wound. Mr. Babb went to Indianapolis yeFterday to have, the wound examined. 35 WIDOWS IX VILLAGE.
