The Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend Railway Company has been rising in the estimation of the people of the community it serves, as a result of the excellent service it has given lately but if it is going to adopt a dog-in-the-manger attitude towards other companies seeking extensions it is about time that the public was in dicating its disapproval. Everybody knows that for . years the people of East Chicago and Indi ana Harbor were compelled to put up with abominable service on the South Shore line between those cities. Now that competition is promised the : company seeks to prevent the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago and the Gary & Interurban railroads from entering the harboT over Chi cago avenue. Chicago avenue at the point in question is to be occupied jointly by the Indiana Harbor branch of the; South Shore Line .the Green line and the Gavit line. . The street is 100 feet wide and there is ample room for three tracks if necessary. It Is apparent on the face of things that it is not because its own interests are endangered but because it wants to keep out competition that the South Shore line ha3 taken steps to enjoin the other lines from building on Chicago avenue. The time is not very "far distant when the South Shore lines will have to come before the councils of both East Chicago and Hammond for favors and when this time comes the road should be given but little consideration unless it shows more liberality now. ' " " Those who are on the inside think they know the source of the South Shore opposition to the plans for the extension of the two other lines in this township. This may also develop in the future. . HEROIC JACK JOHNSON. Pity the anguish, the sorrows and the sufferings of the poor prize fighter. Here is Jack Johnson, for instance. Ever since April 24 Mr. Johnson has been a hopeless cripple. There can't be the slightest doubt about it because he has sworn to it in the bill of complaint in a suit for $25,000 damages which his attorneys have brought for him against Oscar Orrlnger ,a Pittsburg produce dealer. The bill solemnly and impressively appeals to the Goddess of Justice at her high altar to extend her shield in protection over this helpless, broken victim of man's mad rush for wealth. For, on the day aforesaid, a motor truck owned by the aforesaid defendant earelesslv, recklessly and ruthlessly directed by an employee of the aforesaid defendant, did run into and smash, demolish and wreck an automobile owned and occupied by the aforesaid plaintiff, Jack Johnson, and did then and there crush, mangle

Dick Jack Johnson moan and weep and retire Into a home for the Incurables? He did not. He continued to burn up the roads with his automobile and pay for the sarae In the po lice court. He kept on drinking his usual modest allowance of ten or twelve bottles of champagne every day. He went into training for his championship fight with Jim Flynn by running a few dozen miles a day and knocking various two hundredpound sluggers into a condition of coma. And, permanently and incur ably crippled and injured as he was, he good-naturedly hammered Jim Flynn into the semblance of the In side of a cannibal sandwich, when he met him in the ring. Then he went cut and collected his bets and made a speech. borne performance, that, for a permanent, incurable crlpple More over, the thought can't help obtrnd ing itself that the only show for the next "white hope" is to have himself run over by the Century Limited. ENTERPRISING HOBART. Last week this paper carried the news that Hobart had opened up its new amusement park and that the town board was busy on the plans for its new 1 60,000 sewer system and it won't be long until the papers will be telling of the opening of the new Gary-Hobart street car line.The center of a wealthy dairy and farming community, Hobart is taking on growing Importance as a suburb of Gary the southeast side of that city, as some call it. It offers everything in the way of choice homes, fine surroundings, well established churches and schools and as son as the trolleys begin tapping it the town will expand wonderfully. Territorially the largest In the state, Hobart is now on itsway towards becoming one of the foremost in northern Indiana ,and if its doesn't become annexed to Gary in the meantime it won't be long until it is clamoring for city government. CHORAL SLUSH. If it were not for some of the musi cal atrocities that the rag-time song publishing scavengers inflict upon the public the motion picture houses might now be considered to be elevated to a pretty clean plane. There are censors for the pictures. Why not for the songs? Heib are examples of some of the mushy stuff now going the rounds. Just how any home will permit copies of the following nauseating garble of words is inconceivable: Everybody Two-Step. Everybody two-stnp and grab a girlie girl. Everybody two-step and do the twirly twirl. ; Shake your feet -with all your might. Everybody two-step and two-step right. If you want to two-step Just like a polar bear, Everybody does It. Nobody ought to care. EVerybody wiggle-waggle, Then you make a bow. Everybody two-step sow. GETTING RID OF VICE. The Milwaukee tenderloin has passed as silently as a thief in the night. Without resistance or defi ance, the denizens of the segregated district folded up their tents and de parted. it required no crusade no spec tacular raids, no uproar to accom pllsh this revolution of one of the city's established institutions. The word of one determined man sufficed When District Attorney Zabel noti fied the owners of River street prop erty that he would hold them person ally responsible for the continuation of vice ,he struck at respectable responsibility. And so it came to pass that within the time limit whicli hi fixed the segregated vice district, which had long enjoyed the supervision of the police and the protection and sanction of the pillars of society, faded away in a night. We have no illusions. The disappearance of the segregated district will not mean an end to vice. It is an evil that is not to be cured by

criminal statute. Yet experience has

shown, investigation hae revealed, that segregation does not lessen the evil, tl serves only to aggravate it. It is this fact which has led the So cialist party In formulating its pro gram for municipal government to condemn segregation. The segregated district In every city where vice has been placed under official protection and police supervision becomes a social ulcer. Its passing from Milwaukee should mean a clearer moral atmosphere. It should mean less temptation to inex perienced youth less opportunity to be delivered unto evil. Milwaukee leader PICKING UP PIG IRON. The introduction of the lifting magnet has rendered It unnecessary for such laborious work as the hand ling of pig iron to be performed by human effort at all. and the results, given in the unloading of the steamship Erwin L. Fisher, at Indiana Har bor, Ind., give the comparative figures for the man and the machine. With a cargo of four million pound3 or p'.g ion, the time required to unload this vessel with twenty-eight men was two days and two nights, which corresponds to about three thousand pounds a man an hour, or about fifteen tons a day of ten hours. When the lifting magnet was introduced the total time required for unloading waB reduced to eleven hours, and this v as done by two men, whose labor consisted in manipulating fhe controllers in the cages of the cranes. Thus two men and two magnets did the work of twenty-eight men in less than one-fourth the time. Under these conditions the handling capacity of a man and a magnet was nearly one thousand tons in eleven hours, or about nine hundred tons a day. Furthermore, the operation was chargeable with less than one-fourth the amount of overhead charges, while the vessels were enabled to double their number of productive trips. Cassier's Magazine. A PENNSYLVANIA wife-beater was attacked by a mob and given a sample of his own treatment. A deputy sheriff was taking him home, there to release him If his wife were willing. She wasn't given the chance to exercise woman's world-old foolish goodness of heart in his behalf. There are a number of wife beaters around here who ought to have the same treatment. IT Is said that girl scouts must learn to bake bread, wash and Iron, do simple cooking, build a' coal fire, darn socks and take care of babies. But what's the use? Girls who can do all of these things don't have to do any scouting. STUDENTS of the. University of Chicago have been forbiddeu to use toothpicks in public. If this sort of thing keeps up, Chicago will eon be deprived of all its distinguishing characteristics A BOSTON teacher says that love should be taught in the public schools. Still one would think that there is enough private instruction in this branch of education to take care of it properly. UK. Anna snaw says that soon "women will do everything better than men. We dare her to submit that question to a vote of the show ladies of the Great White Way. SOMEBODY ought to give the Indlanapolis Star a few of tluwe bandanna handkerchiefs so wipe the sweat of its face wonders who to support now. it can as it THERE are nearly 12,000 lawyers in active practice in New York city. No wonder some of the people there perfer to settle their disputes on the streets with revolvers. fT is about time for some of the republican candidates on the county ticket to either make up their minds to support Mr. Taft or get off the ticket. FOR HEAVEN'S sake please stand aside and let Ben Lindsay and Frances Heney, two loud-mouthed ranters join the democrats if they so desire. RETURNING democrats from Baltimore say that they slept four in a room there. It must have been impossible to even nap. MR. Bryan has taken his chaos back , with him to Lincoln, Neb. and perhaps he can use a little of it on the farm THANKS to tk3 democrats 20,000

CROWN Point hears the toot-toot of the interurban cars now and may let the pennant this year go by de fault. WISH Mr. Roosevelt would hurry up and get his convention over so we can get down to business MY it is going to be very quiet. Both conventions over and the Mexican revolution simmering out. SOME of these politicians Instead of sitting tight ought to lie down awhile and give us all a rest. FOR the land's sake hurry up with the vacation, the fall styles are out. . HAMMOND on the baseball map? Think It Isn't now? MR. Roosevelt says, etc. Officer he's in again. HEARD BT UBE ROCHESTER (Ind.) man was mar ried nine times and Is now insane. No comment. IF papa ever gets into the White House those three Wilson girls will have no trouble at all in finding husbands. . . I ' ' ; k - PROBABLY old Nic himself: "Miss Ellen Hansen was followed by a man with an Iron leg last evening, who later follower! Miss Ella Modrock and nearly kidnaped her only for the police arresting him in time." Stieglitz Park correspondence to The Times. "ISOW, wherelnell is this Stieglitz Park we hear so much about?" writes Judge Huber. IT'S a good thing that the state su preme court has decided that Tommy Marshall can't give Indiana a new con stitution or else he'd want to be revis lng the declaration' of Independence If he ever went down to Washington. SEE by the dispatches that Mrs. Woodrow W. "is too wrapped up in her nusDands prospects, etc." If a lot of other wives around here were satisfied to be wrapped up. in prospects instead of hundred dollar garments their hub bys would be infinitely happier. ITCHY day frrOriffith: "The chick enpox nas about run its course here among the children and is now turning its attention to the older people. Jas, aimer, me crossing watchman, is the first victim. Mr. Miller says it la no fool affair." Griffith correspondence to ThbTimks. HOBART dry goods store Is advertising bath caps for the ladles. From which we infer that the aristocracy down there has bought a few showers. ihmE little Interurban companies we have around I-nke county are cer tainly playful.

IN the great battle between the colonels and the governors the gubs appear to have won by a healthy margin. "THE Greater Joy" Is the title of a new book. To that Hessville subscriber who innuired about it we will say that it has nothing to do with Mayor Knotts' derision to be good and quiet from now on. "BEN LYNCH and wife witnessed the ball game between the Chicago and Detroit teams yesterday. Lowell correspondence to The TiMe. Hurrah for Ben for taking friend wife along. with him! A good example for other fans to follow. AN eastern 'heiress has married after SS years or courtship.

TURNING A NEW LEAF,

New York, July S. She's trying to be good on 110 a week. Is It possible for this little wisp of a girl. Just turned eighteen, this soctel outcast who figured so notoriously In one of the most sensational crimes of the decade, to turn over a new leaf and live an upright life in a big city on so meager a salary? Everyone knows of Beulah Binford; her sordid story was printed broadcast at the time of the Beattle murder trial. Beattle was put to death In the electric chair for the murder of his young wife on her account. Does it seem possible now that this girl, having always lived a life of im morality and ease, can go plodding along like thousands of girls in New York in a shabby dress, contented with a fiat yellow envelope at the end of the week? Beulah Binford thinks it is possible. At present she is a telephone opera tor and office girl In' an office on one of the side streets off Broadway. She has taken another name and only her employers, who gave her the job out of pity, know who she is. Her salary is only 110 a week. Out of this she pay 6 for her room and two meals a day. Lunches and carfare consume $2.10 more. The remaining tl.tO must do for clothing. Incidentals and amusements. people that stood out in a drenching rain to see Jack Johnson. . And Hon.

Beulah Binford. "The worst part of it," she saps, "is to have to do without pretty clothes, for I do lova them. I have only what I had when I came to New York, and these things are getting threadbare." Just a glance at them would convince anyone of that. Though her little purple suit is well cut and neat, the seams are pulled apart and it is badly worn. Her yellowish hair is curled in the styl popular In email towns, but the girl for all that has a great deal of natural style, and makes an excellent appearance. Her voice is excellent, being refined and low, and her greatest charms are her laugh and an air of gayety and good humor which is very attractive. Her hands and feet are small and well-shaped. There is something almost gallant in her bearing against the background of Broadway, so small and young she Is, to be up against the metropolis and Its hardships on her own responsibility. "New York is the best place In the world to do what I am trying to do.' Beulah Binford said, with her bright smile. "You always hear the opposite, but I believe that for people who waVt to turn over a new leaf and start over New York is the place. C There is something charitable m tha spirit of the town.

There la so much, happening here that New York forgets your history and If you are Just doln right now that's all It wants to know.'. "Why have you changed your plan of life?" Miss Binford was asked. "Well, I never realized what life meant until the horor of the trial," she replied slowly. "You see, I was started wrong, and it never occurred to me to change my way of life. Besides, I could not hava done so If I wished. There was nothing I could have got to do, nobody would have given me a chance. You don't know how things are in a southern town unless you have had actual experience. "But when the trial came and I saw what the wrong way of life leads to I made up my mfnd to live differently. There's nothing in the other way of living there's nothing to look forward to there's no happiness and no reward. "Are you happy now?" she was asked. "I was never mo happy in my llfe, she said.
