The present republican campaign has sunk to remarkable depths. For instance here is what one party manager says: Every one of these statements is a willful, deliberate lie. Every man connected with the concoction and circulation is a deliberate, willful liar. These lies are circulated for the purpose and for the only purpose for which liars always lie. ., And in the meantime the democrats continue to chuckle In their sleeves and you can't blame them. The row Is only equalled by the squabbles that' country editors used to stir up fifteen years ago in political campaigns. WANTED A POOR BOY. Benjamin Franklin once said, "To be thrown upon your own resources is to be cast into the very lap of fortune." There is a certain fine feeling of strength and high purpoie that comes to the young man, who i battling alone against the world, that cannot possibly come to the person whose bills are paid by a rich father or uncle; a"hd keen business men know beyond peradventure that the one whom they can depend upoi is the one who has been accustomed to depending upon himself . "I prefer," . said a great manu facturer, "that all my employes should be married men ;for I know that a married man will work harder to keep his 'position than he would if no one were dependent on him." Precisely the same argument may be applied' to poor boys. Given a rich boy and a poor one with the same amount of education and general training, and the poor one is likely to be the more dependable, because ne knows mat tnere win be no chance or luck about his future prosperity. He will get what he earns and nothing else. -, To recount the names of the thousands of our great or rich men, who have sprung up from the ranks of poverty, would be an impossible task. To record the names of the pinheads and inconsequential sporta who have failed because they had too big a money start, would be equally Impossible. But the testimony of every county in the land witnesseth the truth of the statement that poo,' boys of yesterday are the rich ani great ones of today. In high society the poor boy is not looked for, as he is in business, for the fact that in swell circles of brainless people, the chief require ments for admission is that a fellow be thorough-going, strongly-consti tuted jackass, capable of sowing wild oats and of exciting charitable sympathy. But in business, where brains are at a premium, the situation changes. The boy with the brains is the boy who is wanted; and he is more often to be found In a one-story frame house, studying by the light of an oil lamp, than in the brilliantly lighted palaces of the avenue. Not always, of course, but generally. .

SAME OLD LAKE COUNTY! Those who think that graft is aa entirely new institution in Lake

country are quite mistaken. Back in the early fifties when the county had but a small population the state undertook to drain some of the swamp lands, ditch commissioners were appointed by the governor for each county. Of the money appropriated for the projects in Lake county more than $100,000 ' was stolen by the officials and contractors. Nothing ever came of the matter. And Lake county has always managed to get in its share of the disturbances that keep the legislature in hot water. Towards the end of the thirties the county was in the throes of a quarrel over where tha county seat should be. The people wanted it to be at Crown Point and land speculators sought to keep it at Liverpool where it was for a short time .but in name only. Finally the agitation became so great that the legislature listened to the people and directed that the county seat should be in the south part of the county. Just as likely as not some Gary boomers will he storming Indianapolis before long to have it removed back to the north part of the county. THE NEWSPAPER PERSONALITY. me newspaper personality may not and, indeed, can not reflect in detail the personality of any one man, but in a general way forceful personality may impress itself e strongly on an institution that it may partake of his characteristics to a striking degree. Then the tradition once established perpetuates itself The traits of such a visitor as the newspaper, which comes to our homes, should be good manners, en tertaining, enterprising, sane, well informed, and, above all, sincere. It should be ready to stand for ideals All of these qualities may be shown in the handling of news. While the personality of the newspaper man! fests itself in the handling of news. it comes to the surface most explici ty in the editorial page and in the arious reaiures or that page. Kansas City Star. JUNE. Is it hard to understand the Im mense popularity of June with poets and brides and all whose spirits are attuned, more or less perfectly, to the finest music, the inmost soul of nature? Why should not a month so richly endowed be the Drime favorite with lovers of light and beauty, growth and Joy? I June has longer days than any other month, more 6unlieht. less darkness. It is full of Bwift progress toward harvests. Both blossoms and fruits enrich it. The world sweepts on toward the Increase and bounty of the year and yet there are no fields of stubble, no evidences that the climax of the season has come and gone. In June the fresh beauty of spring is at its fullest tide and the heat and drouth of summer has not yet with ered or dulled the form or color of plant or leaf. The promise of early spring has been fulfilled but nothing has begun to slip downward toward autumn. The spirit of growth dominates the world and the triumphs of warmth and light and the vital forces of nature are facts instead of hopes or hints. And June is the time when vaca tions begin and marriages are most numerous, and picnics abound and excursion boats commence their sea son on hundreds of lakes and rivers. and outdoor sports take on all of the charm and amplitude of summer. It is the month of roses and clover blos soms, of girl graduates and honey moons. In June strawberries and cherries are at their best and gard ens are full of change and interest and the joy of assured recompensj for watchfulness and labor. No wonder such a month Is immensely popular. It has so much that appeals to the best in human nature tnat it could stand many things worse than the crisis of na tional political ruggles and an occa sional day of too fervent heat. ' THE merchant who mourns the passing of the old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration is the one who doesn't care how many fingers ars shot off as long as they don't belong to his own children. AN octogenarian who has just become the father of twins attributes his vigor and good health to walk ing. But he won't have to go out doors for it for some time to come. NOW that the season of open win dows Is at hand, the man who swats the fly will be tempted to transfer his energies to swatting the back yard cat and the early milkman. THAT bottle salesman who trie!

THOMAS W. Lawson has given Mayor Fitrgerald, of Boston," $250 Panama hat. We never knew that Tom harbored a vengeful spirit toward "Honey Fits." , A MAN who is studying the po litical situation says that it is hard to chew candy seasoned with red pepper and not spit out some of it oc casionally. ALL you have to do to learn what hypocrites some men are is to run .a newspaper for a while. The longer you run on the oftener you verify the statement. H. C. FRICK the steel magnate paid $250,000 for a Rembrandt the other day. . If you have any Rembrandts now is the time to sell. LEW Shank of Indianapolis should bet his whole salary on those horse races and then he won't need to run for governor. A TEXAS physician -says that rock and rye will not cure a cold. But a whole lot of Texas people will refute to beliee him. NOTICE in an exchange a story about a "retired millionaire manu facturer. where do they manu facture them? SOME of the meat packers have been indicted again. But then, beefsteak dinners are not to be sneezed at. APPARENTLY Texas is losing in terest in politics. Only three men were killed during the recent primaries. ST. Louis is assessed at a billion dollars. And are its visitors to be assessed On the same magnificent scale? WITH half-cent and three-cent coinage impending, no wonder the New York hotel waiters struck. UNLESS Congress livens up a bit. it will have to go in tha same class with the war "in Tripoli. AND in three weeks the conven tion will be over but the agony in some quarters won't. MR. Lafollette's pompadour is still unruffled. Evidently the situation looks good to Bob. THE New York World finding out for Clark grown too strong Is Woodrow Wilson. CHARLES M. Schwab has saved a man from drowning. Watered stock or steel pool? IN the meantime don't forget that gran dole runner for the presidency Eugene Debs. DID Mr. Roosevelt forget to send congratulations to Dr. and Mrs. Wiley? HEARD BY RUB E AS usual the paper contains Its usual grind of Sunday auto accidents and of speeders being nabbed. WHEN they refuse T. R.'s request for a few extra seats to the Chicago convention the political barons of these woods might as well be as contented as the rest of us and view the battle from the newspapers. EVER since Hobart began to Imitate Gary with a little "gay white way" of her own she ljas been kicking the high spots. Last week Hobart had to buy two more cells for the town bastile.

FOR the jewel of consistency we ref er you to the .'steemed Chicago Ex aminer, which tells us on the front page that the country is going to the demnltlon bow-wows unless it builds five new battleships every year and which tells us on the editorial page that the waste of building one battleship will buy 800 .farms down around Lafayette.

A WHITING poetess wrote that and how did she ever manago to do It with all the smoke arid oil fumes about? "IT'S beginnln t look more an' more like you kin fool all- th" people all th time."

"HAMMOND CELEBRATES DECOR ATION DAY. -Times' headlines, other towns and cities hereabouts observed Memorial day, but they always have to do It a little different In Hammond. THE Indiana Harbor girl who married an aviator and. who is now men tioned in the divorce column, probably figures that the I. H. atmosphere, even if it is cement-laden, is far better than the Joys of high life, THAT worried look on the face of the father with six daughters is caused by his trying to figure out how .he Is going to stake his family to a week at Atlantic City on $150 monthly salary. Heart to Heart Tallcs. By EDWIN A. NVE. WOLF FANGS. Ever read "White Fang, Jack London's companion story to his "Call of the Wild?" The latter story, you will remember, hows how a dog gently reared, baring been stolen for the Klondike ledge trail and most cruelly treated, escaped to the. wolves and became as savage as they.- White Fang shows the opposite the v force of kindness and good surroundings.. : 1 Briefly, this hi tha tale: . -White Fang is part wolf. He fights from mere inherent love of fighting and Is savagely cruel. . He falls Into the hands , of Weeden Scott, a master whose kindness to1 the vicious brute seems thrown away. Scott persists in his steady gentleness snd finally finds the one soft spot under the hide of the little beast ;, The discovery is made thus: The master leaves the wolf dog for a few days. Although hitherto Whit Fang never has responded to Scott's kindness, when the latter leaves the dog pines and refuses to eat What ia more significant ' he refuses to fight. When Scott returns the dog meets htm, trembling, and , miracle of miracles' The wolf is wagging his. tail! Which means that Whit Fang la conquered, civilized, saved. Redeemed by the power of kindness, the tail wagging signifies eternal friendship and devotion on the part of the dog. Parents ' If a wolf dog, hardened by mistreatment, can be converted by persistent kindness, how much easier it may be to change a rebellions child and melt and transform It by gentleness. Cannot you be as patient toward your child as was Weeden Scott to a hybrid beast? Is not your child worth more than a wolf dog? And teacherThere Is In you the divine power to mold and fashion with tenderness the lives of children, some of whom come to you from wolfish haunts and homes. Use that power. . And everybody Our blundering day talks of tariffs and finance and conservation as If they were the great problems of govern ment. no! . ;,. The problem of government, its real duty, Is to lift op the lives of the poor, the wolfishly reared and the neglected. When this world of ours shall have been made as good a place In which to live, for all men. women and children, as for some unfortunate dogswhy, then, and not until then, shall we make boast of our civilization.

Come to Perfect Cleanliness the Better Off We Are for SavTng Teethr The belief that when natural teeth are lost, false ones will be Just as good is all wrong, because plates only have one-tenth the power of natural teeth to chew food and prepare it for digestion. Don't irait for the condition of the mouth to become so bad that you must weix a plate, because broken down teeth and roots, and the deposits all around them, which lodgemillions of disease germs,, are multiplying, making every swallow going down the stomach from -such a mouth a source of poison to the, system, instead of being healthful food. Bridges can be made practically as useful in chewing food as natural teeth, but good bridging is seldom possible In mouths ruined by neglect. The only safe way is to always keep a clean mouth, and the nearer we come to perfect cleanliness, the better off we are both for our health, and for saving our teeth. . Very few people keep their mouths clean enough, because very few people know tho value of it, and how to do it. Every time a person with a mouth full of germs talks, coughs or sneezes, they are throwing out poison to harm other people, and it is only those who have clean, well polished teeth and healthy gums that have a good chance of escaping it. Of course, even after the germs enter the mouth they do not always develop throughout the body, because the conditions of the blood may not be favorable to them, but it is certainly wrong to run snch dreadful chances when the danger can bo so easily lessened by keeping a clean mouth. Those who have learned from experience the value of a pure, clean mouth, both for 'comfort and for health, fully appreciate It, and whn that knowledge and ex perience spreads throughout the world, diseases will be lessened ia proportion, end years of health - will be increased. ' ' The mouth which seldom gets cleaned will usually bo full of decayed teeth with disease germs in them, will have pieces of roots in, and quantities of deposits abou the teeth, the Serms from all of which make more and more damage in the mouth Itself besides poisoning its owner and his neighbors. The mouth which gets an occasional cleansing escapes a condition Quite as bad, but it is a close second to it. It Is only the mo' which gets cleansed often enough, and which Is cleansed in an Intelligent way, which becomes a pure, healthful mouth, capable of preserving the teeth of its owner, protecting his health, and not threatening that of his neighbors.
