THIS IS SO tniEXPCTED.
Doesn't it look as though patriot
Roosevelt would have to live up to that "under no circumstances" pledge
after all?
Did, you notice that the Saturday
Evening Post came out strong for T
R. in the incipiency of hia boomlet
that 48 hours after his Columbus
speech friend Munsey's magazine re
posed gracefully on the news Btands beside the militant. Everybody's and
the glorious Outlook, Munsey's print
ing a heroic sireati entitled "Catch
ing up with Roosevelt?" Every
body's with a hoarse blast about cor
ruption of jugdes, and the Outlook with a touching yarn, "In Happy Kansas, Where the People Rule the
People"?
Dear, dear! Can it be that all thi matter was In type some weeks before the "overwhelming demand" (voiced by the eight governors) made itself heard? Letter to the New York
Sun.
dives could not exist without the
ationage of Hammond people.
Every night the village is infested
by young "would be" sports, barflies,
toughs and bums who flock across the
line and make the night hideous with
their orgies.
The responsibility for -this condi
tion may rest upon the police force
itself or the police may be getting
their orders from the "higher ups
as is probably the case, but that iloe3
not enter into a phase of the situa
tion which is discussed in this edi
torial.
Whatever may be their responsi
bility for conditions as they exist the police are charged with the enforcement of the law in other respects. They probably Tiave been conscientious In their efforts to rid the village of thieves, crooks and criminals of
the worst type.
Knowing that the dives are re
sponsible for a great deal of the law-
breaking in West Hammond they
have been exceedingly careful to suppress hoodlumry.
The other night four young tough3 from Hammond invaded West Hammond. They were "going down the line." Their conduct was such as to attract the attention of an officer. He placed one of the party under arrest. The others resisted him. One of them reached for hi3 hip pocket. It looked like, gun play and the officer fired. It develops that the man was reaching for a cigarette. The friends of the man who was shot say the offi
cer was hasty." But It W a self-evi
dent fact that a police officer is not going to take any chances with a
gang of that character; especially if
he suspects that they may have been
ntoxicated or were of the hair
trigger type of gunmen who would as
soon kill a police officer as an ordi
nary dog.
The sympathies of the fair-minded
person will be with the officer in this
case. The young men had no busi
ness going "down the line"; especial ly the married members of the party
They had no business creating a dis
turbance. They should have submit
ted to arrest peacefully and if they had a grievance against the officer
the court room was the proper place
to thrash that out.
The young men who were the vie
tims of this tragedy are along responsible for, what happened. The
public generally recognizes the fact
that in a case like this if there is to be any gunplay that the officer is the
man who is expected to start it.
Had these same fellows succeeded
in bluffing the officer they might
next haVe attempted to take away his gun and star. And furthermore as
soon as the lawless element comes to
understand that a police officer can
not be trifled with the Booncr will a
greater respect for the law be estab
lished.
! character is a matter of serious Ini-!
portance. '
It is a business asset to have your
ability and reliability well thought of.
Such acts of life as form the basin
of your reputation should be clearly
thought out and carefully performed.
But when a man places reputation
above character, he makes a mockery of it.
When he cultivates it to nurse his
vanity, he degrades It.
When he sets fashion above com
fort, appearances above facts, gossip above truth, religious forms above
morals, or popular applause abova happiness, he "has his reward" as the good Book says; and it is a poor
one.
The desire to seem to be rather
than to be is a mild sort of crime; but
it brfhgs in its train more actual
physical discomfort and mental re
grets than many evils that are in
themselves much more vicious and
diabolical. It is the essence of fool
ishness, and same of silliness, and yet it is probably the most universal of
follies.
' INSPIEED GEMS. Among the inflictions on our ex

This is what we glean from one page:
"In order to succeed we need leaders of inspired idealism, leaders to whom are given visions, and strive to make their dreams come true, etc." You will note that the contributing editor doesn't use "I" once in this slice of wisdom. Our leader is
thoroughly inoculated with the editorial "we."

lived together happily, and then he was
attacked with appendicitis.
In an Anderson hospital the appendix was removed , and after that his whole disposition changed, she sets forth In her complaint. With the loss of his

to pass food to her while at the table.
