MARTIN & GILL, JELLY FISH RELIGION. Tk I a - . . it its noi strange to nna among the delegates to the Christian church convention now closing in Hammond, a considerable number whose idea of Christ-worship 13 to be a preacher on Sunday and something else on Monday as well as the rest of the week. The -mad craze for money and wealth is making serious inroads into church policy these days. Away with sacerdotalism, eccles!asticism, monasticism and all the otner spiritual "isms" even If to bring about means church anarchy The world of religion moves in a strange orbit. The first principles of religion, the commands of Christ seem to count for nothing. Keiigion has become a pestle in which preaching and business Is be. ing pounded together so it will mix The policy of some of .the delegates to the convention seems to be: don't offen'd the congregation, don't con deum anything, Just feed it a little pap. Be a good fellow, juBt preach about something which doesn't mean anything and nobody will know.th difference. V it isn t tne unprofessing world wnicn menaces religion today. It Isn't the man outside ot the church it Is the man Inside. For hundreds of years the church has withstood the destructive work of the faith shatterer the religionist looking for innovations but the latter is batter ing down the walls. where Is the good old-fashioned preacher of our fathers and our father's fathers? "EASY EOADS." Almost without exception the great scholars of the world have been men who have studied contin uously from young manhood to old age; and in this class are Included both those who were quick and those who were slow at tha. start for the race for scholarship the track Is so long that the handicap at the start is not a matter of great conse-

quence.

The familiar illustration of Cato, that old, Roman philosopher with the large Adam's apple, comes readi ly to mind here. Cato began the study of Greek at 36 with the poet Ennius, and took up Greek literature again at 82. simply for the sake of keeping hid brain in trim. Henry Clay, brilliant as he was !a his youth, did not consider that the real foundation of his future greatness as an orator was laid until at the age of 27 he began the practice of temporizing daily upon some current topic, his efforts being witness ed by an audience of cows and hens. And there is many another young orator who ought to do his practicing on the same kind of an audience. Dr. Robert Hall, the eminent Eng lish divine and scholar, in his o'd age, was once found lying upon the floor, racked with pain, engaged with the study of Italian, in order that he might become able to teat the correctness of Macaulay's famous comparison of Milton and Dante. How weak and feeble, in compari son with this, becomes the "painless method" adopted by many of our modern educators, who want the pupil to have education pumped into him with the aid of laughing gns and local anesthetics! And whose chief concern in life is to invent games and tricks whereby the un suspicious child may get a thimble ful of brains without knowing that he's got 'em. Does Willie object to eating meat? Then chop it up Into tidbits and mix it with candy, or else put on so much tabasco sauce that he'll never recognizethe taste. Does he refuse to work? Then build a toy automobile around his awn mower ,so he'll think he is violating the speed ordinance while he cuts the grass. My word! COME OFT TO IT. Oil or water, which? That is the question which Hammond property owners have a right to and should settle for themselves at a mass meetting In the Lake superior court house, called for-thia evening, by the board of public works. The board will in all probability let the contract to the lowest bidder tomorrow, but before doing so, it will make an effort to get the senti ment of the people who pay the bills. Were the matter left with the board alone, it is safe to say that it would promptly and wisely decide on the use of the oil, for past experi ence In Hammond has shown the water wagon" to be an utter failure. The difference in cost between daily applications of water and two applications of oil for the season is so alight, that the cost wilL not be an Issue at this evening's meeting. The question is merely one of effi ciency, and economy. The ordinary crude oil or road oil as it is called, Is far from being an ideal dust layer. It is true, it lays the dust effectively; on the other hand, or Bhould we say feet, it some time tracks Into the house, where it is ruinous to carpets and floors. That is only a temporary fault however, and in choosing between two evils, it is decided by the lesser. Even this fault may be overcome It is Baid. if the taxpayers care to pay a little more, by the application of a finish with screening. These are some of the questions that are to be discussed this even ing, and now is the time for the property owners to act in the mat ter. THE PROPER SPIRIT. The Hammond Chamber of Com merce performed its first real service to the community yesterday when F, C. Deming, the chairman of committee on automobiles and roads, secur ed promises from nearly 100 automobile owners and machines from about 50 of them in which tha- dele gates to the Christian church con vention were taken on a tour of the region. Mr. Deming performed his part of the work well but nearly half nf those who promised machines diss?! pointed him with the result that only half of the party could be ac comodated. bui iorgetting tne failure or a small portion of the people of Hammond to show the proper Bpirit rf hospitality to the strangers within our gates; those who did take their machines out on the bad roads have demonstrated that at heart Ham mond is hospitable. When the Chamber of Commerce has leavened the entire city with spirit of civic pride ;when the deslro to do something in the interests of Hammond's reputation as a host becomes the prevailing one, it will be less difficult to arrange for these splendid courtesies to strangers. The Hammond Chamber of Com merce has arlready justified Its existence thus far. F. C. Deming has proven that he does well what he undertakes. If the same activity Is

shown, by the other committees tfe new organization is. sure to be a powerful factor in the up-building of the community.

1858-1912. Looking over the press dispatches of the Taft and Roosevelt campaign in Ohio there are many strong reminders of the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. However, there are not the comparisons between the two contests as a contemporary would have it for the political battle of the bygone days was devoid of much of tbe personalities that exist in the present campaign. One dispatch of the thirteenth reads: Stubenvllle, Ohio, May 13. President Taft's first day of his final campaign swing through Ohio, which came to an end with a speech here tonight, was marked the most pronounced verbal assaults upon Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to which Mr. Taft so far has given . public utterance. In speeches that were filled with indignant attack, that bubbled over with uncomplimentary , adjectives, Mr. Taft discharged his oratory at his predecessor In the White House. He started out upon his las, campaign to urge the people of Ohio to support him in the primaries of May '21 at Marietta in a cold rain which kept up for several hours, but which finally fled before the sun. . Late today, when he spoke at Dennison. Uhrlchsvllle, St. Clalrsville. Belial re and Bridgeport, the weather was fair and the crowds came out in summer attire. On August 30, 1858 the Chicago Tribune printed this dispatch wired from Freeport: The second great debate between Lincoln and Douglas came off at Freeport, on Friday afternoon. The day broke chilly, cloudy and lowering. Alternations of wind, and sunshine filled up the forenoon. At twelve o'clock the weather settled dismally, cold and damp, and the afternoon carried out the promise of the morning with the single exception of rain 1. At ten o'clock a special train from Amboy, Dixon and Polo arrived with twelve cars crowded full. Mr. Lincoln "' wn on thH train and some two thousand citizens of Freeport and vicinity assembled to escort him to the Brewster house. Reports of today are more ac curate than they were in the time of our fathers and grandfathers and while many of the newspapers ( of 1858 represent the great debaters us hurlers of mud, reporting facilities were not as adequate in those days and there was less of a disposition to record , accurately what really took place. ' ' WHEN cleaning upholsterel furniture it is often either Impossi ble or inconvenient to move it outdoors. In such a case place a damp cloth over the piece of furniture and then beat It. Suburban Life. Yes it is a good plan to beat It, if you dampen it with benzine and 6trike a match and the faster you beat it the better. A PREACHER in Columbia in vented a collection plate that would discharge a pistol when a suspender button was dropped In. This would make the taking of a collection in some church sound like the storming of San Juan hill. TO say that a president is with out sense in one editorial and. then call him a giant and liken him 6 Lincoln in another shows what effect these dog-burying stories have on some editors. CONNECTICUT woman . seeking divorce says her friends warned her against her husband before she married him. Well it that Is grounds tor divorce lots of nice ladies have one coming. SENATOR Tillman asks re-elec tion on the ground that he wants to die in office. Tes and. after dying in office some politicians want to go back for a third term and die again. AS moving pictures are largely Influential in educating children It Is time for parents to quit patronizing' these blood and thunder Indian scalping pictures. NO gentle reader one real estate edition does not make an advertiser these days, but there Is no trouble to get the advertisers so be satisfied. GREATEST trouble with most reformers la that they want to change other people when they themselves need renovating very badly. WHEN ever frwe hear of a man advertising for a wife' and In leap year too, we cannot help but wonder what ailB him? MEN who wed angels are not alIways extra-keen to get to heaven

where the good book tells us all tha angels are.

THE question seems to be do thsy like' speeders in the superior court any more than they do in the city O'irts? THAT arch-Roosevelt organ the Lafayette Courier says that all the lemon-peddlers are against Rooset. IT Isn't hard to predict what the republican party is going to get out of this presidential campaign. TRUTH never hurts any one but it is funny how many people seem just scared to death of it. THE smoothest joker in the world is the one who never attempts to joke with his wife. THE weather man even sleep in peace. refuses to HEARD BY RUBE "MINISTERS PRAISE THE TIMES" headlines. And on Monday night hizzoner Mayor Knotts praised The Times. So you see we are getting roses from both, sides. SEE by our Lowell correspondence that Mr. Merryweather of Shelby visited the former place yesterday, in this connection we might add that Miss Rainy-weather is the guest of Miss Spring. WHENEVER there is a gap to be filled in the editorial column 200 words on punishing reckless autoists is always staple stuff. WITH a religious convention in its midst it's no wonder that Hammond is trying to look more pious than It really is. FOR SALE Two superior courtship nominations. In good condition, 191J models, though they may be used later on. Apply to Dan Moran, Hammond, or Mayor Wheeler of Crown Point. WITH T. H., President Taft and Ringllng Bros.' circus in town all on the same day Wellsvllle, O., must have been as live a place as Valpo or South Bend. . Tut, tut! What's this the Indianapolis Star is saying? Governor Marshall had the superior judgeships created to pay some political debts? Bet you that his receipt are fraudulent. AN East Chicago man attended a party and then tried suicide. How ever, even if the social side of life at E. C. is rather tiresome they do put over some good real estate deals now and then. SO Miss Whiting is doing some leap year flirting with Hammond and wants to be annexed. However, if Hammond Is wise there'll be no marriage until John D. comes across with that sanitary drinking fountain or some other suitable wedding dower. "SEE Indiana First" is the name of a new league. Now, if a good many Lake county people would start out by seeing Gary first and if a lot of Gary folks started to appreciate that there are other spots on the county map there would be a better feeling all around. R. H. I writes In the Chicago Tribune. "What Shall I Wear." You would naturally think that we would say your "heavies" while the present weather keeps up and now that you think that we are going to say otherwise we are not going to say what we were going to say but w will say what we first meant to say before we said that we would say what we started to say, but which we didn't say because we have said enough. W. H. F. P. Here are some words from that new song "Mine:" Mine when the dawn Is breaking. Mine in my dreams at night, Mine when the birds are waking. Mine when the stars are bright. A rtewly married man might sing it, but we understand that since the supreme court has ruled that superior judges can hold on two years longer that L. H. B. and J. K. are warbling it in a most appropriate manner both in English as well as in German. OUR Gary social calender Is so big that the natural inference is that you can hardly meet a female in that city without being pressed to cough up for some dance, social, benefit or klrmess. OUR versatile correspondent. Hennery Coidbottle, will be en masse at the annual batl of the Gary cops tonight. The Day in HISTORY "THIS DATE IX HISTORY" May 1. 1801 William H. Seward.

ers, take turns in walking with her for a few miles. Sometimes she is accompanied by a considerable party. At the towns along the way she is entertained with ceremony. On one Ohio road an automobile party preceded Mrs. Beach, strewing violets in her path for a quarter of a mile. "This might be taken for a bridal party," she commented smilingly. ,? . In Painesville Mrs. Beach was greeted by many school children, who had turned out to meet her. Several girls from Lake Erie college accompanied her part of the way. J. P. Moody, a vegetarian enthusiast, asked her to rest a while at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Charles F. Howe. Mrs. Beach consented, and for an hour and a half she played the piano or listened to the latest phonograph records. -She is herself a musician, it may be noted. One of Mrs. Beach's pleasant experiences was her meeting with one of Painesville's oldest citizens, whom she greeted with a hearty handclasp. A photographer happened to be on hand at the moment, and he snapped the accompanying picture. Two miles west of Painesville 11-year-old Georgia Elight, who 'was playing by the roadside, attracted Mrs. Beach's attention. She lifted the child baby by Mr. and Mrs. Hochadel. He was reared as their child. Mrs. Hochadel died in February, and some of the relatives then told him . the truth. It was at his suggestion that the adoption petition wa filed. Judge Ross made the order. CHARGED WITH THEFT.

The fugitive was captured on East street by Patrolmen Elmer Anderson and Young. Olive was held under high bond pending an Investigation. BIDS WIFR (iOOD-BV, EXD5 LIFE. Cassius C. Buck, 46 years old. building contractor. Thirty-fourth street and Arlington Place, Indianapolis, committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself in the right temple. His wife, Mrs. Anna C. Buck, was in the room when he placed the gun to the side of his head and bade her farowell. "Good-by, mamma, I'll put my pipe in the same old place," he said, but Mrs. Buck paid no attention to him "as he always talked so when drinking. She was standing with her back to him and did not see the revolver. The shooting occurred at 9:3) o'clock in the morning and Buck lived until afternoon. Two physicians were called. Buck, it is said, was despondent because he could not quit drinking. He is survived by a widow, a son, Clifford Buck, and a daughter, Mrs. Elsie Lee. LEAPS TO HIS DEATH. An insane man, named Burdell, from Brownstown, Ind., jumped from the incoming 6:60 train last night near Dupon and received, injuries from which he died a half hour later. APPLE SHOW PLACE IX DO CUT.

In her arms, and the two were instantly warm friends. A steady drlszle set in while Mrs. Beach was approaching Cleveland. Her auto had taken a detour, and h was obliged to plod along in the rain with no extra wrap. Bad weather do not disturb her much, but she did mis her breakfast, which also went along wltfe the auto. It was 9:30 before Mr. Beach could have her morning repast. It consisted of a glass ot orange juice, a glass of pineapple Juice, and a bowt' ot apple souffle. "I believe I have walked far enough already to prove the value of a vegetable diet," said Mrs. Beach. "On account of the scoffers, however, I Intend to keep right on until I get to Chicago. One scoffer in New York remarked that anybody could walk for a time, whether he ate apples or arsenic, prunes or paregoric. I think he will have to talk dieerently now. "I'm feeling in fine trim. Of course I'm not out for a speed record but maybe we can give them something to think about" this with a twinkle in her eye. Not since Weston's time has a pedestrian attracted so much attention. When Mrs. Beach reaches Chicago she will have accomplished what few women have ever tried an undertaking that would baffle all but the sturdiest men. shown that Fort Wayne now has the , "inside track" on the big show.

Governor Marshall "was consulted in regard to j the apple show by Ed R. Smith, chair- : man of the commission, and the Gov1 ernor declared that the money spent by the tate last year in furthering ) the exposition was well spent. The ' promises for the Indiana apple crop this year are splendid, according to Mr. Barnard. The state Institution this year will be represented at the show more extensively than last year.
