INDIANA'S HOMfcl TO MB. was hern la Indiana, And It'a aomrhoir home to me. Tho the Southland's foil of beauty Nature's hand has lavished free Flowers bloom brightly all the season. Bint's sweet warbling nil the air. And I know I should be happy, Bat, somehow, my heart's back there. Back where wave the rnstlinjg- corn !. Bark where blooms the clover sweet. Where the crass Is soft as velvet Like a carpet 'neath the feet Dona there la the dear old orchard Laden with Its pink white bloom Oh, I'm tired of orange blossoms, Tired of their sweet perfume. Then I want to see the winter. See the saow fall once again; Drifting; In Its pure white stillness Over hill, and vale, and plain; See the Icy, frescoed windows. Hear the storm of wind and sleet. Feel the bliss of chanfclne seasons. Winter's cold and summer's heat... If desire had nines to bear 'me. I wonld soon be home once more. With old friends to cheer and love me. As In happy dsys of yore, Yes, I'm homesick, why deny It? For the thlnas thnt used to be; Though I love the sunny Southland Indiana's home to me.

The astonishing drift toward Mr. Taft after all the Rooseveltian clamor of the past few months is clearly shown by the march of political events in the past few days. Espec ially Is this true in the farming comm unifies .. where the Eober-miniied husbandman has at last become con vinced since Mr. Taft's recent decla rations, of his fearlessness, uprightness and. absolute disinterestedness. Republican leaders in the Tenth report that the Roosevelt movement throughout the district is as tangible as a mirage or a will-o'-the-wisp. Incidentally the Taft candidacy Is gathering .such momentum that nothing can stop it. It Is only a question now of how big will be his majority on the first ballot. One cannot help but feel a tinge of sympathy for Mr. Roosevelt. There Is no question in the world but what the GIf Plnchots the Jim Garflelds, the Med McCormicks and others of that self-seeking type have misled Mr. Roosevelt for their own aggrandize ment. They have blinded him as to the real situation. If Mr. Roosevelt had known of THE TRUE SITUA TION he would never have permitted himself to be used. It is too bad that the former president did not think of his words given out by him on June 18, 1908 on Mr. Taft when he said "I feel that the country is indeed to be congratulated upon the nomination of Mr. Taft. I have known him Intimately for many years and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time we worked for the same object, with the same purposes and ideas. I do not believe there could be found In all the country a man so well fitted to be president. He has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs without and within, and the broaeVst sympathy with all our citizens.' He would be as emphatically a president of the plain people as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of any kind. He has a peculiar and intimatu knowledge of. and sympathy with the needs of all our peopleof the farmer, of the wage-worker, of the business man, of the property owner. No matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter what his creed, his color, or the section of the country from which he comes, If he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the most fearless of champions. Mr. Taft stands against privilege and he stands pre-eminently for the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the foundation of our national well being." i WHY NOT A POET? Perhaps few taxpayers noted that Alderman Battleaxe t3astleman la planning another raid on the already over-tapped city treasury of Gary by creating the offiga of .poundmaster,

THE T3XIE3.

I For five years Gary lias struggled f along without a court philologist or a I poundmaster and just why the latter berth should be created in this late day probably none but the Immortal champ-een ot the pe-pull himself cart explain. Certainly no hogs, no I lolstein milkers, no Leghorns and no gobblers ever wander from their fireside to busy Broadway these days and Captain Newman, who shot more dogs in one day than did Bwana Tumbo shoot lions in Africa all the time he was there, has rid the city of its Rovers, its Neros and its Fidos. If the office is to be created why not add along a few more ornamental but good paying places for hungry patriots. It seems that Battleaxe has overlooked a city poet. At one time the aldermen of London had a poet, Settle by name, whose job was to compose panegyrics once a year and draw his pay twelve times oftener. If a poundmaster why not a poet laureate? Unless we are out of order we should like to recommend the author of "Old Box Car Hank" for this job. PLANS FOR NEW CLUB. In the neighborhood of 20 repre sentative Hammond business men met at the University Club last evening and decided to take the initiative in the organizing of a commercial club. No more important step has been taken in Hammond in the last five years. A big mass meeting Is to be held at some place to be designated later in the week and at that meet ing the new organlzaion will be launched. It is expected that the new commercial club will be representative of the commercial interests of the ENTIRE CITY. It is expected that it will have a membership of at least BOO. It Is proposed to employ a secretary and obtain permanent quarters in the business district. There are so many things awaiting the impetus that could be given them by a good commercial club that such an organi zation is an absolute necessity. At the meeting last night the necessity of a commercial club was unquestioned. The only matter that will have to ,be determined by the citizens who will, meet next week is the best means of perfecting such an organization. The old Hammond Business Men's Association was declared to have been a close corporation and it was to this fact that Its failure was attributed. "The new commercial "club will "be made as representative of every business interest in the city as a large, membership and a large directorate can make it. E. F. Johnston, formerly the sec retary of the Hammond Business Men's Association was present at the meeting and performed the obsequies over that organization. He said that it bad cost him $500 in the loss of time, the expenditure of money for postage and clerical hire to be secretary of the old asso c.'atlon and that he was done with it. He said he thought the time was particularly propitious for starting a commercial club. . And the time is propitious. Ham mond is on the verge of a year of great prosperity. Splendid city building projects are under way. Transporta tion problems remain to be solved While the city administration Is furthering the work of street exten sions in a number of notable instances yet there are other projects that must be-taken up. Big plans tha: mean much to the city are awaiting the initiative of a representative body of men. The building of homes must be en couraged to make possible large increases in population. Parks, parkways and playgrounds must be purchased and laid out while land Is still cheap, streets and sidewalks must be widened and a modern street light ing system must be substituted for the present one. These are but a few of the im provements that must be made if Hammond is to retain its present position as .one of the three largest cities in the Calumet district. The meeting next Tuesday will give the people of this city the opportunity they desire. THE COURTS. He interfered with the course of justice as well as with the course of trade .and set up his own crude no tions of equity against the law as expounded by the unanimous voice of the greavest magistrates. It never occurred to him that men whose lives were passed in adjudicating on questions of civil right were more likely to form correct opinions on such questions than a prince whose attention was divided among a thousand subjects and who had never read n, law book through. The resistance opposed to him by the tribunals inflamed him to fury. He reviled hi3 Chancellor. He kicked the shins of his Judges. He did not ,it is true. mteua to act unjustly. He firmly believed that he was doing right and

A HOBART youth is greatly perplexed over the problem of how to put hU arm around the waist of his girl when they are out riding in their Bulck forty. When he had a horse and buggy, he says, all that he needed to do was to let the lines drop, but now he daren't leave his hands off the steering wheel. After several investigations of this serious problem we find that the difficulty might be overcome by letting her drive the car.

Wampler waa stabbed thirteen times in the back wjth a small knife and one cut barely missed the spinal cord. A fight started when Wampler came from a church social with Miss Graca jHlte. Reves said he had engaged Miss Hite for her company home. Reeve says Wampler struck at him first, then he struck Wampler with a rock tied up in a handkerchief. In the scuffle he drew his pocket knife. Wampler staggered home and did not tell his parents of the trouble until next morning. He was then weak from loss of blood and is now in a critical .condition. All are prominent people. Amos Reeves was formerly deputy sheriff. The fight occurred near the church and almost caused a panic among the women who attended the service. BILLET IMF.RCES BODY. Walter A.

Allen was taken to hi boarding house, where he shows some improvement since last evening, Chandler has signified his willingness to surrender should the wound prove more dangerous. XOT ML'MPS. WISDOM TOOTH. There seems to be some psychologi cal phenomenon connected with the epidemic of mumps that baa been threatening the student body of Indiana university for the last month. Not long ago one of the coeds at St. Margaret', hall at Bloomlngton, went home with a supposed attack of mumps. Soon after three of her intimate friends developed symptoms, and they, too, packed up and went home. The first coed had not been at home long until she discovered that she did not have the mumps at all. A new wisdom tooth was making its debut in her gums. Ni report has come from the girls who contracted mumps from association with her. Meanwhile however, several students of the university are engaged in d-f ending themselves against real, for sure mumus.
