A QUESTION. No doubt the people of the state must have opened their eyes when they learned that the new, city of Gary has the most wealth per capita in Indiana, $1,127.04 to be exact. Whiting, a comparatively youn.5 community follows second with $1,033.93 while Indianapolis, the metropolis of the state, has to take third place; with figures of $908.45. Such old and prosperous communities as Terre Haute, nineteenth, Evansville, twenty-seventh. South
Bend, thirty-ninth, and Fort WayueJ
seventy-sixth on the list are not as wealthy as has been thought. If these two Lake county youngsters can show such wealth at the outset of their careers what will they have ten years from now?

CHARGED TO PICTURES. From the moving picture shows of
Manhattan to death at the hands.of a band of lynchers In Montana is a
far cry. but we are asked to con
template It.
A father, a business man in Brooklyn, has just laid away all that remains of his nineteen-year-old son, shipped home to him from the West. The boy, he was little more, had shot and killed a woman who hal
suddenly come across him robbing
her home on a lonely farm near Forsythe, Mont. He had also shot it her son, but he escaped and gave the alarm. A posse of ranchers caught him and his end was short. For his son's untimely end the bereaved father blames moving pictures. According to the elder man, hia son began frequenting moving picture shows about a year ago, and commenced to talk about Western life. April 12, having armed himself with an automatic revolver, het started on his travels, evidently going straight to Montana. Six days later he was dead. There's a lesson here somewhere.
WE saw a man going home with a lot of incubator and fancy chicken catalogues the other night and from his serenity it was quite plain that he little knew what he was up
against.

NO SHORT CUT HERE. It is as impossible to become a scholar in the twinkling of an eye
as for Caliban to become a Chester

You must get a little ever day.
It is aaid that Benjamin Franklin,
when a boy, became very much wear
led at his father's long grace before each meal, and one day, in hi3 quaint; droll manner, rolled into the
dining room a whole barrel of pork
beseeching his father to invoke the
Divine blessing upon It all at once,
and thus have done with the business. But . hia father rebuked him
sharply, reminding him (and thers was a whole lot of philosophy in the old man's remarks) that the blessing of Heaven was wanted, not on the pork in the barrel, but on such portions of it as were consumed day by day. Education Is not to be secured in a single moment, but only in the course of a long studious life. A fortune may be made in a day by a masterful stroke of financiering or a lucky bet on the stock market. A skillful operation may restore a man to health in half an hour. We are told by certain of the orthodox that the vilest sinner that ever stood before the throne of grace may become a saint in the regeneration of a moment ;but there is one thing on
earth that cannot be acquired by any
short cut. The thing is intellectual power.
Young men and women are intel
lectually ruined by the thousands be
cause they imagine that education is
a thing to be limited by a school
house and concluded upon the receipt
of a diploma, while all around them
are successful people lacking early
adavntages "who, because they knew
no aipioma, Decanse tnejr Knew no
place to stop, did not stop, but con
tinued to pursue their studies long
after their companions had ceased to
trow..
POOR MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTING. The present system of bookkeeping in the Hammond treasurer's office Is about as loose and cumbersome m
could be devised. It is almost im
possible for even the small property owner ,to say nothing of the owners or custodians or large estates, to
know how much taxes they have to
pay.
The average property owner goes
to the city treasurer's office and ask3 to pay his taxes. After waiting for
half a day to be waited on he glve3 his name and a description of hia
property.
He asks to know the amount of
hia taxes, special assessments and
water taxes. He is given a list of
them, pays the amount of money de
manded of him and in a few months
discovers that his property has been
sold to satisfy some claim for a ,dis-
trict sewer assessment that he did not know about or that he had for
gotten about.
The city treasurer tells you that you are supposed to know of every pavement, walk, local sewer, lead
pipe, water end sprinkling assess
ment and if you forget any of them
you pay the cost of redeeming the
property.
Any other than a municipal cor
poration would render a bill, giva
the necessary receipts In full to date
and give its customer the satisfac
tlon of knowing that all accounts
with that corporation were satisfied
There ought to be a system nstall-
ed by which the city treasurer would
be compelled to give the taxpayer : bill for his taxes and a certification that the bill included all the property owner owed.
The system of accounting ought to
be so simplified that a child could go
to the office of the city treasurer and
secure a complete statement or the
taxes due from any property owner
in the city. . .There is no excuse for shifting the responsibility for the
failure to pay taxes onto the property owner because he or she did not happen to remember that there was a sprinkling assessment on soma
piece of property on the outskirts of the city. No business man who cared a rap about his business would go away and leave it when his offices were besieged with customers who were compelled to wait all of the way from an hour to five hours to be served. There is lots of room for improvement in" the conduct of affairs
AND in the meantime the people
who thought Champ Clark's candidacy was a Joke are beginning to
look like the man with something
biting him.
CHRISTIAN Science lady says, "I
consider my Christian Science above

FINDS FARM GONE.
When John Hagner, a well-known
German farmer living southeast of
Newcastle, came to the county treasurer's office yesterday afternoon , to
pay his taxes he was surprised to learn that, so far as the records were con
cerned, he did not own a fine 200-acre
farm, which he has been tilling for a number of years. In fact, there was
nothing on the records to show thst
he owjied any land at all. and no taxes were charged up against him.
An investigation was started, and
after some time a peculiar situation was discovered. Some time ago Hag
ner decided to make a -will so as to provide for the future of his four chil
dren after e was dead and gone. He
secured the services of a Newcastle attorney, and what Hagner though wis his last will testament was drawn up and signed by him, leaving his farm t his children after his death. Instead, however, the paper Hagner had signed proved to be a warranty deed conveying the land to the Children. DEAF MUTE KILLED BY CAR. Lenny Yodeer, a deaf-mute, was struck by a St. Joseph Valley traction car while walking on the track yesterday afternoon, near South Bend receiving injurlesf which caused his death an hour later.
