THE SEASON WHY. Some one who is evidently very .much discouraged because we ara .just now refusing to irritate the plebscite with any political editorials wants to know the reason why. It Is a very simple answer wo have. The people are sick and tird of pre-convention politics and Ve refuse to bore them. What's the use? How is a country editor going ti find time to pick political winners when real estate industry and business in Lake county is so busy that they havent time to sleep. Here are the Wall street odds; pick the winner yourself: 2 1 against Taft's nomination. ", 2 1 against Koosevelt's nomnation. i 5 against Taft's election.. S o against Roosevelt's election. 1 7 against Tafts or Roosevelt's nominatii. 5 1 against Taft's or Roosevelt's election. 3 1 against Clark's nomination. against tion. against nation. against tion. against 72 Wilson's nomina51 Harmon's nora101 Bryan's nomina101 Gaynor's nomina tion. And in closing we would not ad (Vise anyone to rashly swear that they will never get a hair cut or a shavo until any particular one is elected. A DOUBLE HONOR. - Credit must be given to the young athletes who represented their schools so well at Crown Point when the Lake County High Schools con tested for supremacy in athletica.i but to those who won honors there and honors at the recent oratorical contests additional praise Is due. In this connection must be mentioned our young friend Lester Ottenheimer of East Chicago. This young man tied with Whiting's representative

for first place in oratory and thealfor the benefit of those who

cn Satufday won the silver medal

Chambers. for , being second best point winner for the East Chicago school being nosed out of first place by only three points through the splendid work of Wickes of Gary. It is especially refreshing to verify the old saw that a healthy body and1 a healthy mind go together. Education only reaches its highest value when neither mind nor body are educated at the expenss of the other. College men recall that some of the greatest athletes in school were the best students. To be educated broad-mindedly, manysidedly, with body and mental functions getting all that should come to them is the truest education CASTLES IN THE ALU. To think we are able to be so; to determine upon attainment is fre quently attainment itself. These are the words of Dr. Samuel Smiles, the venerable author of Self Help, one of tbe most remarkable books of the century just passed. Why is It that the pictures that we draw upon the canvas of the future have such an influence upon our char acter? Is it the mere contemplation of a rosy picture that makes strong men and women of us? NO. We like the picture because their beauty represents what ought to be. An ideal that does not Inspire ef fort is not a real ideal. It is one which we merely Imagine that we possess. The best in any man may be meas ured by the yardstick of his ambitions; and the fellow of base metal will find no power able to convert him to gold except THE ALCHEMY OF HIS OWN DESIRES. The dreamer ' who allows his air castles to be merely fantasies forever, is not awake to the great possibilities of human thought and effort. For all practical purposes he is not ain but dead, IMPORTANT IF TRUE. The Columbia City Post says: "Over at Albion in the two precincts in the town five republican voter? in each precinct petitioned the registration boards to hold over a second day, and they did so. It was done to disgust the public with the law. There are always some Smart Alexanders around to make asses of themselves when opportunity offers." GARY'S DISGRACE. Anything goes In Gary. Only recently a number of city officials were arrested on the charge of brib ery. Witnesses disappeared, the case was delayed and finally dropped ine county was put to tha, expense of a costly prosecution So were the defendants. So some bril llant mind conceived the Idea of holding a benefit for the accused. it was tne most unique little soiree that has even been held in Gary. It took the form of a canrival and has lasted several days Includ ing Sundy. It was held admittedly had jbeen indicted

With the city administration

standing sponsor for the affair it had ample police protection. Qambling was open and above board. Doubtless a part of the profit will go to each one of the defendants in the recent bribery cases. And Gary stands for it. Gary has to stand for It for the decent, element in the city does not hav anything to say. If a bribery benefit carnival is all right why not put on a "First Ward Ball" like denizens of the red light district in Chicago used to do. ABATE THIS NUISANCE. The rights of way of the Monon and Erie Railroads in Hammond should be sprinkled with oil. It does but little good to sprinkle State street in the vicinity of these crossings when a gust of wind picks up four or Ave pounds of dust and dirt off from these railroad right cf vara and ViIaw, it Hnwn thft fstrAO Every windy day it has been a noticeable fact that great clouds cl dirt were picked up from the depot yards and were blown down the street. It was useless to sprinkle the pavement under these circumstances. The railroads which offend in this way should be taken to task and either compelled to sow grass seed on their property or sprinkle it with oil. Hammond has now got to thj point where most of its streets and alleys are paved. The only places from which big clouds of dust can now arise on windy days are tbo rear school yards .the vacant lots and the railroad rights of way. Lets eliminate these and have a spotless town. RELIGION'S NEW ALLY. Moving picture' shows ori ' religious subjects may, now be given in Roman Catholic churches in America. The Vatican has just given its consent to this distinct innovation at the request of several biBhops. The conditions under which the pictures may be shown are that the sacred host be removed from the church during the' .-performance, and that the women be separated from the men. It is also ordered that the church be sufficiently lighted. Magic lantern shows - may not bo given under these conditions. The above cable from Rome calls attention to a new era in moMon picture development. An ancient and conservative institution, the Roman church .recognizes the won derful educational value of -the motion picture. ' We hope that the day is not far when all schools and churches give part of their time to moving pictures. Bible subjects on the motion film would increase their impressive' ness a hundred-fold. CLUB women in New Jersey have started to train maids. After they have them trained in housekeeping they will probably learn that the maids will soon become wives. KANSAS man has a beard eight feet long. How in the world can a man with an appendage of that sort enjoy eating a soft boiled egg unless he puts hia beard In a bag? SOMETIMES one can't help wpnder if it wouldn't be better to have a king or a queen or a jack some, thing and get rid of all this infernal political scrapping. A VISIT to the gardens and to ths country about shows how excellent the rain has been growing things and splendid crops seem to be in prospect. THE women delegates to the re publican national convention seem to have muffed a few jobs accordingto Col. Harry New of Indiana. IT is just pitiful to see the Indl an a polls Star trying to be a political clairvoyant standing first upon one foot and then upon the other. SINCE George Ade started to kick his gubernatorial boom around it hasn't received much encouragement from other sources. THE national campaign seems to be reaching that stage where com mon people are getting mighty weary of it. WE much prefer saying nica things about people while they are alive rather than wait till they ara dead. DUUiiTLhss it won t be a very pleasant Fourth of July for Clarence Par row.

TO the list of auto and motorcycle victims there should be added the names of those rolled out flat by little Tommy Knotts' steamer roller. B. AND O. yesterday opened up a tunnel a mile long. The B. &. O. ought to be a popular Una for the honeymooners from now on. IT'S too bad that Gary can't get that park In time enough to move the carnival roulette wheels to the grounds. TOU have to hand it to those Hammond cops for the clever way in which they step upon the auto speeders. ONE reason that they don't pitch the old-fashioned game of horseshoes down at Highland any more is that most of the aristocracy have gone in for autos. FUNNY thing about Mayor Knotts big 8,000-horsepower steam roller is that it always runs out of gas about the end of October. -; . THOSE who have thought that they would get even with the ice trust by holding on to the last minute will now find it appropriate to put in the order for the first chunk. WHY worry about the Taft-T. R. squabble? In a month it will be all over. WHY is that a girl even in her early 20's will look real pleasant when you tell her that she looks like she is 16? IF the throbbing editorials of certain great and good editors, only had a national audience, the tariff question, standpattism and insurgency would disappear like a case of Bud at Kindel's grove on a hot day. SEE by The Times that Indiana Harbor looked like New Bedford the other day when there were so many ships sailing into the Inland canal. When the Inland 'begins to compete with the Panama ditch it will be simply awful if the I. H. mariners decide to charge ships from Gary and other foreign countries canal tolls. AMONG other things getting that new street car line running from Gary to Crown Point with a dime fare will certainly lessen the high cost of mar rylng in the Steel City, Now it takes a ten spot for the auto to take you to the licence counter let alone the certifi cate graft.

Indianapolis. Ind., May 28. Twentyone out of twenty-six cars entered in the Memorial day 600-mile race at the speedway qualified in the first session of the speed elimination trials yesterday. One lap of two miles and a half in two minutes was demanded by the rules. Only one car failed in the first trial, Homines Continental, and it was to havo had two other chances at the second session. Later it was announced that the Continental s crank, shaft was broken and it was withdrawn. It will have another trial tomorrow. Teddy Tetzlaft's Fiat racer No. 3 made the first trial. After warming up his car Tetzlaft's mechanician gave the sign as the car shot through the stretch toward the starting point. The racer made the trip around the track in 1:46.83, official time, which meant that Tetzlaff had made the run at an average- speed of over eightyeight miles an hour. The elimination trials continued all day at the speedway, the drivers making their attempts to qualify at their convenience. One of the rules for the great motor derby is .that all the cars must show a speed of seventy-five miles an hour to qualify for the race. The little Stutz car. No. 28, in charge of Charles Merz, was the next racer to round the track in the elimination trials. It made the lap in 1:54.09, a speed of seventy-eight and one-half miles an hour. Len Zengle in Stutz No. 2, was the third to make the rial and the care finished in 1:54.1. The difference in speed between the two cars was only one-five-hundredth of a second. OAKLEY CAPTAIN PROTESTS Hammond, Ind., May 28. Editor Times: In your issue of the 27th an article was published stating untrue facts regarding the ball game between the Hammond Oakleys and the Gary team, charging the Hammond team as a bunch of bullies' and that there was wrangling and fights, but the true facts are that there was no bulling,, fights, but there was one argument on a double play, which would have given the Oakleys the game, but they gave in on the umpire's decision. Isn't that fair enough? If the Hammond boys wanted to be a bunch of bullies they would not have given the decision. Regarding the gambling and pool, it would be a very good thing if they could make them (the spectators) quit it, but it is Just like telling somebody to quit eating, and you have a fine chance doing it. And further on in, your story it reads there was no policeman down at the park. There was a policeman down there and if he (Mr. Fox) had seen anybody fighting, gambling or wrangling he surely would have stopped them. Tours truly, ED GOEHRINGER, Captain of the Oakleys. REULBACH PILOTS CUBS TO VICTORY Ed Reulbach started, finished and won a game for the Cubs yesterday aft ernoon,' and great was the rejoicing on the west side. Hank Q'Day's prancing Reds, who gleefully are holding second place in the flag race, were the opponents for Big Ed, and he Just breezed through the contest, allowing only three base hits. The final score was 4 to 1. One of the three bingles was a tremendous fly by young Mr. Phelan, and it dropped over the screen in front of the left pavilion for a home run. That's how the Reds managed to. score. That happened in the eighth inning. In the seventh ' Hobli.tael banged one to 4the right wall for two bases and in the ninth Bescher combed a single to right, and that's all the hitting there was. Ed had a splendid curve ball and he had control, passing onl y"two batters. He could cut his fast ball over the plate easily, and there was enough speed on it to make it hop a bit. It's true en6ugh there were several balls hit awfully hard by various members of the Reds, but outside of the three previously mentioned none got away from the Cub fielders. Jimmy Sheckard had to dive into the grass and balance himself on his ear to get a drive by Senor Marsans in the fourth, and he was fortunate to be standing on the spot where at least three others fellows lined the ball or there might have been more base hits. Johnny Evers did some dandy infielding that spoiled a couple of possible base hits, and Heine Zlm plucked one back of third base in a manner most commendable.
