JACOB FRIEDMAN. ; TRUTH IN THE END. It has been said by those who are only too eager to think so, "the Gary bribery cases are ended." The ancient Romans had a motto of which they were very fond. It was. "Magna est Veritas, et praevalibit." i In our tongue it is "truth is mighty and will prevail. The Gary bribery cases are not ended. Far from U. They will be a very live topic in, this state for a long, long time. Some day the truth shall be known; some day the facts will be published abroad and the guilty will want the very mountain tops to fall tupon them. The thin crust of earth that hides the Seething lava from him who Id wells on its surface in fancied security can burst open in a second. ; io return to our Latin lor a moment we refuse to believe that 'Gary is like that corrupt patrician :orator . who shouted in the Forum, ;"ideo. meliora proboque deteriora Bequor!' (I approve of the better things but I follow the worse.) GULLIBLE WOMAN. 1 Although the police of the cities of the Calumet region arrest "a man every week or so charged with obtaining money under false pretense3 by means of some agent's scheme or Another; the women of the region appear to be just as gullible as ever ' Only the other day a man was ar rested after taking dozens of subscriptions to the Ladies' Home Journal at 98 cents a year. Now it is a well known fact, every woman ought to know, that it impossible to buy a subscription for the Ladies' Home Journal for less than f 1.50. The Curtis Publishing Co. will not even enter into club agreements with the other magazines. . And yet the women of Hammond and Gary did not stop to think that an offer of a year's subscription to! this paper at 98 cents was a fake on the face of it. It would be like buy- . ing $1.00 bills for 50 cents. You would know that something is wrong. Running a house is a business proposition involving the expenditure of all of the way from $500 to $5,000 a year, depending upon the character of the establishment, and yet the woman who runs it often does not have even the rudiments of a business experience. Usually the rwoman who admits an agent after the girl has handed her his card Is

IF I CAN LIVE. If I ran ltvr To make Hat pale face brighter, and to give A second luater to aome tear-dlmmed eye. Or e'en Impart

One throb of comfort to an aching heart. Or cheer aome wayworn soul In passing by If I r lend A strong hand to the fallen, or defend The right against a single envious train. My life, though bare. Perhaps of much that aeemeth dear and fair To u m on earth, will not have been in vain. The purent joy. Moat near to heaven far from earth's alloy. Is bidding clouds give way to sin and shine. " And 'twill be well It on that day of days the angels fell Of met "She did her bent for on of thine." Helen Hunt Jackson. just as gullible as the woman whom the agent finds in the kitchen doing her own washing. it is a safe assumption to make that you can buy anything an agent has to sell for just as low a price in the stores of your own town, so why bother with them? But if you must buy of the agent then use common ordinary business judgement and don't pay for anything until you get It. The agent who wants a deposit as an evidence of good faith on your part usually is not good faith himself. If he has a legitimate proposition he 13 willing to take your word for It that you will take the goods when they are delivered. Why take all of the chance yourself? THE FIDDLER. Some of the newspapers have been running stories about Thomas n Dean singing his swan song to Lak county. And in this connection it is well to remember that every tax payer in Lake county will contribute towards paying the fiddler. It isn't the singer that foots up the bill. It is those who make him sing. During the past few years we have heard a lot of swan songs, all costly ones too. HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. The home rule bill for Ireland presented in the house of cmmon3 a few days ago is characterized on one side as a .very liberal measure and on the other side, especially by the Ulster Unionists, as "ridiculous fantastic and impossible to adminis trate." It may be of interest to our Irish readers to know the main points of the home rule scheme. The bill provides that the matters to be excluded from the control of the Irish parliament are the crown the army and the navy, Imperial affairs, the Irish land purchase and the old age pensions and natolnal in surance acts, the Irish constabulary the postoffice savings bank and pub lie loans, in addition to thoRe ex eluded by the home rule bill of 1893 which left the customs under control of the imperial government. The Irish constabulary is to be automatically transferred to the Irish government after six years and power is given by the bill to the Irish parliament to demand the transfer of the old age pensions and Insurance act to its control on giving a year's notice to the imperial government. The Irish parliament is debarred from altering the home rule bill or the power to appeal to the privy council. Provision is made for the protec tion of religious equality in Ireland and stipulating that the Irish parlia ment can not make laws, directly or indirectly, to establish or to endow any religion or to prohibit the free exercise thereof or to give a prefer ence or privilege to any religion or to make any religious ceremony a condition of validity of any marriage.' The lord lieutenant of Ireland is to have the power to veto or suspend any bill on the instruction of the imperial executive. Any question regarding the Interpretation of the home rule billis to be settled by appeal to the judicial committee of the privy council. The Irish senate is to consist of forty members and the house of representatives of 164, of which Ulster is to have fiftj-nine and the Univer sities two. The collection of all taxes is to re main in the imperial service, and they will be paid into the imperial exchequer .which is to pay over to the Irish executive an amount equivalent to the expenditure on Irish services at the time of the pass ing of the act. MODERN METHODS. The announcement of the Gary Land company that it will advertise each week the list of houses it ha3 for sale cills to attention the advanced work the United States Steel cor poration is doing towards enabling its employes to secure homes of their own. An employe of any of the subsid-

iary plants of the steel trust In Gary may purchase of the Gary Land company a house and lot on the most liberal terms. Ten per cent is required to be paid down and the balance In . monthly payments, a little more than rent. A buyer may havo ten years In which to pay for his property. Another fact deserving attention is that there are no obnoxious forfeiture clauses about the contract. In case an employe decided to move elsewhere or wishes to get rid of his

investment the Gary Land company will buy back the property from him deducting only for rental and inter est. WHAT OF THE FUTURE! At a recent meeting of the Guild of St. Luke, in New York city, statistics were presented "which do not make pleasant reading for native-born Americans. They show that neither New York nor New England can just ly censure the French on the score of race suicide. In the city of New York the birth rate is given as 46 in every 1,000 of the population for Italians, 35 for Jews, 25 for Irish and 14 for Ameri cans. The birth rate in this country. as in Europe, is lowest among the rich and thrifty. . The birth rate in the advanced nations of the earth was lower at the close of the nine teenth century than at the close of the eighteenth. What will be the future of this country when immigration practical ly ceases and the prosperity now enjoyed by the average native American Is shared by the children of the foreign-born? ' Is the prediction to be borne out that the human race; a? it increases the refinements of civilization, will gradually eliminate Itself? MISSOURI paper in a little heart interest story says "he could always hear the prattle of his little daughter's feet coming toward him." by which we infer that daughter was some prattler. MR. Dean has furnished more copy ior ine newspapers man any one man around these parts for a Ion time and his name is great to give a headline the necessary punch. NOTING the increasing number of divorces filed in the Lake Superior Court at Hammond, we are constrain ed to remark that marriage is an in stitution that is quite often not worth the trouble. IT turns out that Mrs. Wiley per saaded the genial Dr. Wiley to resign. Thought he resigned because the , air was so bad in the Department of Agriculture. EXCHANGE has a wedding story in which neither the names of the bride or groom were mentioned. There is a coming reporter on that paper quite evidently. GOV. Marshall has found time aft er denouncing the lawyers to write one of those beautiful little procla mations for Arbor day for which he is so famous SOME men never take any chances in life at all. We saw one man on the streets with a pair of ear flappers attached to his skypiece the other morning. CHICAGO reports the marriage of Annie Rooney. It seems that Annie has the old habits she used to have at Cedar Lake. . YOU will probably hear something like tbe sound of a few shovels in East Chicago one of these bright spring days. PERHAPS you thought the flowers that blossomed on your wife's hat were a sign of spring. Well they are not. JUDGE in the east has put his offi cial o. k. on the turkey trot. Now we suppose everybody'll be doing it BALDHBADED man's Wife Is suing him for divorce. Probably tired of the bare necessaries of life THIS is the spring in which a good many young mens fancies lightly turn to thoughts of real estate. HOWEVER when will we know the truth of the Dean affair In Gary THE "Call of The Wild" isn't th call of the delegates by a long shot THE pussy willow says "hail, hail the gang's all Jjwe."

IEAHB BY R U BE

"I TOLD you so I" WE will give five thousand reward for the name of the next reformer who would like to grapple with the city hall. HAVING been vindicated, all of the Gary, city official mixed up in the. late unpleasantness are now back in tha class of Alderman Battle Axe Castleman, who saya he Is "fearless and honest." . ' WITH the Bryan divorce suit over the board, the dictagraph scandals smothered, Mayor Knotts not- waiting trial for anything, Gary will certainly become a tame place. AND, while all of the rest of the towns are scrapping foxy little Indiana Harbor is getting away with the cheese. WE have to announce, wlrea our porting editor from Lexington, Ky., that the wrestling bout between the mayor of Gary and the governor of Indiana has been settled and Is decidedly in favor of the former. The court Burgeon believes that the latter will recover from the several scratches he received. ,. "PANXTERS FOR JUNE BRIDES," newspaper headlines. For the Information of bachelors and men who have been married over ten years, we will state that a pannier skirt looks as if a girdle has been tied somewhere south of the waist line and Just north of the hobble. "HITCHCOCK IN WARM DENIAL," reads another headline. If our ex changes keep coming In as late as they have been we'll Join in the wish that Hitch be in a still warmer place. CHICAGO TRIBUNE speaks of T. B. Dean as the retired savior of Gary. "WHAT feels better than to go to sleep with a smile on your face," writes H. S. Now what is? One guess, please, and don't crowd. WITHOUT doubt your Uncle Tom Knotts is one of those Individuals who can go to bed these nights with a big smile upon his face. POOR old Chicago! With her Uncle Sam trying to wrest her harbor away from her it must be pretty tough. But the old lady will have to yield tha palm to these young and irresistible Lake county sisters. "REFORM as reforming looks like it might pay, but when it doesn't, line up with those to be reformed and you will not lose." Now this is not a Hindu maxim. "THERE are good men there, but they don't run the city," says T. B. D. in his parting shot at Gary. Of course not but they have been trying too demned hard these past six years. A GOOD man Is any man who hasn't broken Into office or-is temporarily 're called. CHICAGO police say that they found a model chauffeur. We believe this about as much as most of us believe that Mr. Moose had to stay away be cause he was sick. GREAT CAESAR! Uncle Sam Is go ing to help us save money. Size of paper bills Is to be cut down one-third, so we'll only need a 50-cent wallette lntead of a 75-cent one. ' THEY are ail doing it now," espeIally any one who gets to be fo lucky as to become a graft witness in a Lake county case.

Heart to Heart Talks. Bjr EDnVr A. NYE.

TWO FARM HOMES. I visited two farm homes. On a table in the living room of one of these homes I found several late magazines, newspapers in plenty and some good books. In a corner of the room was a fair sized library contain ing books on agriculture, history, travel and fiction. In the other home there was no pe riodical literature save the county seat newspaper and books wnre scarce. I found what I expected to find as to the character of these two homes. In the home where good reading abounded there were intelllgence,thrlft. economy, business system, prosperity and joyous home living. In the other borne there were bicker ing and nagging, wastefulness, lack of good management and a woeful igno rance concerning the progress of the world at large. More than that The boys and girls in the home with out magazines and books found their pleasures away from the home. Some of these pleasures were silly, and some were harmful. Gossip took the place of reading. The moral tone of the home was not high. The difference? Books and good reading! Without books and newspapers of general circulation the farmer can know little or nothing of current events, of the news of church and state, politics the things that make for good citizenship and intelligent activ ity in human affairs. And Without books and farm papers and newspapers father and the boys will know scarcely anything of market tendenciea or acientinc farming methods or farm management or horticulture er breeding or veterinary and other lines of np to date farming. Nor WithOUt farm Journals or magazines will mother and the girls know very much about domestic science or poultry or nursing or home management. t ,. , 1V .... Above all else there Is lacking the sllent influence of good literature in the building up of character. A good book not only gladdens the heart, but broadens the vision and lifts up the life. Books and good reading are infallible indices of tbe character of a home. Missouri 31, 36 New York 99 North , Dakota, .to ...

The state showed its hand in the Price murder trial yesterday, at Greensburg and in the opening statement made by the prosecution it Indicated that it would attempt to prove that Zachariah Price shot and killed Fletcher Cook, his tenant, while he was running away. Seba Brown, the prosecutor, said that the state would show that Cook was shot three times after he fell and that Price was preparing to fire the fourth shot when prevented; that when Mrs. Cook ran to her husband's side Price threatened to shoot her. In Its opening statement the defense said it would endeavor to prove that Price did not shoot until he believed his life was In danger, that Cook had repeatedly threatened Price's life and that when he fired the first shot he believed Cook was going into the house to get a weapon. GIVEN RECTORSHIP FOR LIFE. The Rev. Walter J. Cronln of Rush ville has been appointed rector of the St. Mary's Catholic church in that city to nil the vacancy caused by the resig nation of the Rev. J. F. Mattingly. The Rev. Father Cronln will come to Rushvllle aome time next week to take charge of the parish. The Rev. Father Manning, assistant rector, will con tinue to hold the same place under the new priest. The Rev. Father Cronln will have the same rectorship as the Rev. Father Mattingly, the priest hood of St. Mary's church being an ir removable office. TWO DIE OF SCARLET FEVER. " Scarlet fever has claimed two vic tims in the home of Mrs. Laura Brooks, and six other persona are very low, with the disease at Rushville. Sidney Brooks died Saturday, and his nephew died a few days ago.
