The political diagnoses of the Gary Tribune, in so far as they apply to conditions in Lake County, are notoriously incorrect. Invariably they are governed by personal or sectional prejudices. Following the defeat of Ralph W. Ross for the nomination for the office of prosecuting attorney of thi3 judicial district the Gary Tribune heralded the information that a new political alignment had taken place, that the old Hammond ring which "had ruled the party for years" had been beaten, that the combination between Hammond and East Chicago had been broken up and that corporate East Chicago had formed an alliance with Gary, the pur-

pose of which was the control of the by the feat of W. H. Gray of Clevepolitical situation in Lake County. land Press in locating the fugitive em-

Hammond was unquestionably fori Ross, just as Gary was for Hodges and Indiana Harbor and East Chicago wert for Patterson. Ross was defeated but the Gary Tribune falls to grasp the political situation In Hammond and East Chicago if It thinks that this lncident was of sufficient consequence to cause a complete political realignment in northern Luke County. The first glaring error in the Tribune's diagnosis of the situation is its statement that the Hammondfno-1 Htical ring, "WHICH HAS RULED LAKE COUNTY POLITICS WITH AN

SOME GREAT WORK. There is probably no profession that calls for such varied accompllshments, that demands so much resource and judgment, so much diplomacy and strategy as the profession of journalism. That is what makes it one of the most fascinating occupations in which a man can be engaged. A newspaper man's field is the whole world and he must become familiar with about everything in his field. The versatility of reports is shown bezzler John C. Jurgens and securing Gray not only came all of the way I from Cleveland to Chicago to find his man but he practically', made hlmj prisoner and then induced him to make a full confession regarding his defalcations. Had It not been for the viligance of other Cleveland reporters who I were working on the same case and who were pitting their skill against I Gray's the Press man would have been (able to take Jurgens to Cleveland and deliver him to the authorities. Not only did the reporter discover that a crime had been committed but

crook or tho bank president. He must be the best mixer in tho world or he is a failure. And he can't deal In generalities. Vivid and florid descriptions are no longer tolerated in Journalism. Facts are what the people want and the well equipped reporter has the ability to get at the facts. Gray's work for the Cleveland Press

got him an increase in salary. He deserves It. The same ability applied in working out a business enterprise would yield ten times the financial reward and yet reporters stick to the game. It is a game; the greatest in the world. A game in which the brightest minds in the country are constant ly pitted against each other. A game ln which glory is everything and financial reward a second or possibly no consideration, at all. IF a husband kicks his wife in the back with his bare feet it is not assault and battery rules an Indianap olis Judge. It is getting now so it isn't safe to either talk or kick in one's sleep. , A WOMAN who got into trouble in the east wore what was described as a black velvet honeycomb hat." Probably trying to out do one of those fuzzy horrors. DANCING used to be controlled by the priests, and it was about the same kind that is now controlled by the cops if we know anything about his tory. PULMOTER continues to save men and women "medically dead." The doctors will have to look out, the pul moter is stealing their thunder. YOU will remember that there was somewhat of a commotion started to by President Harrison's hat during the campaign. MY word and the pussy willow is getting ready to come out in all her new spring finery! Shame on you Boreas! TO aim high is all right but if the game you are after is scooting along the ground, don't shoot up in the air. THE crooks and thugs of Chicago will certainly have a lovely time when the new subway is built. WHAT difference if the new bon nets are less in size they'll cost just as much. WAR has been declared on the decollete gown again. Let 'em alone HEARD BY RUBE THE desire to annihilate the weather man and spring- poets grows stronger upon us each day. DOCTORS are getting more grasping lately. Times headlines yesterday: "Doctors Take Steps." suggest that you had better nail down your steps while the docs are around. AFTER reading the weather reports it takes a strong imagination to believe that one is not living in northern Siberia. r "WE read in the cables yesterday that a Persian governor was flayed alive. More than once some Gary patriots would have liked to have doubly flayed a certain governor in these dominions. Spain ought to be fortunate ln her military enterprises seeing that General Luque has been appointed minister of war. FOR the benefit of the great un wasned we win say that as bad as President Taft is painted as yet he hasn't turned Teddy's picture to the wall. THE vacuum trust has gone up the flue. Evidently nothing to it. GENTLEMEN, who have been clam orlng for the judicial recall are re spectfully referred to the little occur rence down in Virginia two days ago, where they recalled the judge as well as the officers of the court. RUMORS from Wisconsin dairy makers are that the cheese crop will be short this season, but withal this we still will have the little cheese smells at Roby and at Globe station. THAT tobacco will get the user sooner or later Is shown by the fact that a man down the state died the other day after using it continuously for seventyfive years. MAGAZINE editors have put the kibosh on stories where the cub reporter beats all of the star reporters and eagle-eyed detectives to it. Oh, for deliverance from the young political leader. NOW that the Gary police have recovered the stolen house outraged assessment payers might put them on the trail of some grafting contractors who have pulled off jobs more audacious.

Scene from "The Cowboy Girl," at the Orpheum Theater, March 18, 19, 20.

"THE COWBOY GIRL AT THE ORPHEUM There are pony ballets, "broilers" and all that sort of thing with the various musical shows, but the bunch of show girls known as "The Frisky Broncos" Lawyer, Guard in Court." SCIENTISTS say that the most hu mane way to kill an oyster is to eat him. Many of us, no doubt, have the worthy desire to spear a few luscious j oysters, but not the mazuma wherewith. "DR. J. C. WATSON of Gary, formerly of Hobart. is very much alive, re ports to th contrary notwithstanding, and is doing business as usual." Hobart Gazette. After reading this there is no doubt that the doc is alive and that those who owe him will know about It the first of the month. BEING In congress from now on will be a dismal Job. A bill has been Introduced prohibiting members from inserting here and there, whether It happened or not, such little decorations as "(applause)." "(aughter)," "(great applause)." With these little spots of humor removed what attraction will there be ln a wearied constituency reading the speeches of its congressmen? ETHYL Yes, there is a great difference between a chiropractic and a chiropodist. HERE'S hoping that Mayor Knotts will make up. his mind which party he wants to run. Up and Down in INDIANA PREDICT SHORT CROP. Fruit growers of Bartholomew County who have made examinations of the fruit conditions of the countyhave given it out that the peaches ars killed and that the crop of apples, cherries, pears and all sorts of berries will be short this year, because of unfavorable weather conditions the past winter. FIXD NOVEL WAV. Women of the Falrmount Friends congregation at Marlon have prepared a list of 150 persons, each of whom will .be asked to buy one yard of carpet, so that the building may be made more tenable. Improvements already completed and those under way at the church will cost the members a little more than $9,000. In addition, practically the same persons have contributed about 113,000 for the addition to the Falrmount Academy during the past year. SPLITS WOOD WITH POWDER. Joseph Rogers, 15 years old, ot Shelbyvllle, while splitting wood tried powder when one of the blocks tougher than the others, refused to yield to the blows of his ax. He put the powder In a crack in the block and touched it off with a match. He may lose hla sight. His face was powder burned and he lost his eyebrows and the greater part of his hair. Jl'RY KIX DEATH PENALTY. After deliberating fifty-live minutes yesterday afternoon the Jury trying John Fits on the charge of killing Guard Hiram B. McWllllams, Nov. 21, 1811, by braining him with a hammer in the cabinet shop at the Indiana Reformatory ln Jetfersonvllle, brought a verdict of guilty and fixing the leath penalty.

His brother, C. L. Hannan, and hla father-in-law, Gus Hoffman, were at his side when he died. His wife was at the hospital most of the day, but departed at 8 o'clock.

May Irwin in "She Knows Better Now" at the Hammond Theater Sunday Night March 17.

BIG ADVANCE SALE FOR MAY IRWIN May Irwin is coming back to town after staying away many seasons. Her absence has been much too prolonged to suit her many admirers here, judging by the large advance sale of sats. For many years her abundant good nature, her likable personality, and her genial comedy methods have served to provide what has ben termed a "May Irwin entertainment." This season she ,1s promising more than that, for. it is i said, she is coming to the Hammond This Week's Washington, D. C, March 16. The promises to be the political head-liner

i tho first occasion on which a popular vote on ' candidates for President has fever been taken' in this country. North Dakota is a hot-bed of progresslvism and as a consequence the public interest in the primary centers almost wholly in the bitter contest between Roosevelt and LaFollette, the rival progressive candidates, for indorsement for the Republican nomination.

The principal events on the Democratic calendar will be the State conventions in Maine and Indiana. The former will meet in Augusta to name tional convention. The Indiana convention, to be

held in Indianapolis, will be broader ln scope, as. it will nominate a State ticket In addition to naming presidential electors and delegates to the Balt timore convention. Governor Marshall is expected to receive the indorsement of the Indiana convention for the presidential nomination. Woodrow

Wilson appear to be favoed ln Maine, although an uninstructed delegation is a probability. President Taft is to leave Washington Sunday night for New England. He will make several speeches in Boston and take part in the Evacuation Day celebration in that city Monday and will visit Nashua and Concorn, S. ll the next day. Although no announcement has been made of subjects for speeches the President will make on this trip. It is regarded as practically certain that he will not fail to include in his addresses some of the topics touched by Colonel Roosevelt ln his Columbus speech. Word comes from Lincoln that the annual Bryan birthday banquet to be held in that city Tuesday will be the occasion of a nation-wide progressive Democratic conference. Senator Gore of Oklahoma. George Fred William's of Massachusetts. Frederick Townsend Martin of New York ani a number of other prominent party men have accepted invitations to attend th" patheting. The senate committee appointed to Investigate the right of Senator Loimer of Illinois to his seat in the upper house has named Saturday as th day for proceeding with the examination of the matter with a view to making a report. i The first legislature of the State of Arizona, which will eject two United States senators, will convene in Phoenix Monday. Both of the senators will be Democrats, Henry F. Ashurst and Marcus A. Smith having: received the popular indorsement at the late election.
