ALL MEN ARE DEPENDENT. The absolute dependence of one man upon others would be immediately felt by any man who would start out today to live without making any use whatever of conveniences furnished in whole or in part by other people. , He would b obliged to leave hia homeffrstr tor "that was built with materials furnished by the cooperation of thousands of others, even the nails being the result of the labor of dozens of men engaged in the various operations of mine .railroad, factory, -tore and carpentering. He must leave the city, for he can buy nothing not made by others and even the coin he might offer in ex change has been handled as ore, bar metal and coin by many laborers and elerks who have used the conveni ences offered by hundreds of other men, to do their work on the ccn most easily. He must leave all mankind, and then watch diligently to avoid using what others have labored upon. He must swim streams, for he may not cross on bridges made by others. lie must not pluck an apple to eat from an orchard, for a man once planted the tree. He cannot chop down trees to build a house in the woods, for a hundred workers co-operated to make the axe. Man is never independent in the sense that he can get along without other men. He is strictly dependent from the very moment of his birth; and this dependence imposes an obligation of service froni which no true man will endeavor to eRcape. The tramp and the idle heir of millions are alike unworthy of the high privileges of life; and, look at it from any angle you will, there is no moral difference between them. Service is the only certificate of moral worth, and no title to possession can possibly be right or Just unless it is founded upon labor. A MAN'S MOTHER. But your mother's life has not been easy. Your father was a pqpr man, and from the day she married him she stood by his side, fighting the wolf from the door with her naked hands ,as a woman must fight. She worked not the eight or tenhour day of the union, but the twenty-four-hour day of the poor wife and mother. , She cooked and cleaned and. scrub bed and patched and nursed from dawn until bedtime, and in the night was up and down getting drinks for thirsty lips, covering restless little sleepers, listening for croupy coughs. She naa time to listen to your stories of boyish fun and frolic and triumph. , She had time to say the things that spurred your ambition on. She never forgot to cook the little dishes you liked

Pfir for THE Mf iDAY

the rain-sonu of the koui.v. V Ok. the raJa-song ot the robiaS Hove It thrills my heart to hear The rata-aotiK of the rebln la the summer of the year' How I loag for winds to. join him where his carol poureth free. And for words toabear the secret of his magic Balalstrelsy ! Doea he sin became he revels in the fury of the Mornt In the thunder and the lightning; dors he find a hidden charm f Or with the prophet eye, enraptured, doea he see the darkaea past. And the beauty which shall blossom when the clonds disperse at laatf When thy rain on me deseendeth and thy cloud a Lout me roll. Grant, O God. the power of singing to my tempest-shaken soul! May I see Thy mercy shining far behind the outer Bloom! May I hear thine angels chanting! May I see Thy lilies bloom! She did' without the dress she needed that you might not be ashamed of your clothes before your fellows. Remember this now while there Is yet time, while she is living ,to pay back to her in love and tenderness some of the debt you owe her. You can never pay It all, but pay down something In account this very night.- Ladies' Home Journal. GET NEW SIGNPOSTS. The city of East Chicago has taken a mighty progressive step in ordering several hundred sign posts for the purpose of designating street In tersections. Its example should be followed by the city of Hammond. The only street signs that were ever erected in Hammond were of tin and bore the advertisemnt of local business men. The business men of the city aided and abetted in billboarding the whole town. The expected happened. The tin signs soon became battered and worn. Some of them were shot full of holes. Today a few of thm are still hanging to the telegraph poles to which they were attached. Most people have forgotten in what year this nuisance was perpetrated by city officials who had no conception of the city beautiful but a lesson should be learned from this and when new street signs are installed they should be an ornament to the city. People who know the streets of the city do not need sign posts to guide them but the absence of this little convenience is noticed by the stranger tisiiing the city. It is one of the many little things that are needed to put the city on the plane with other progressive dies of the country. And when new signs are purchased, for heaven's sake let's avoid the tin can variety. WATCH THE FAKERS. Another fortune teller has skipped town, this time from Hammond. For a long time Gary was bothered with rakers of this class and then the council passed a high license ordi nance regulating this business. Usually when clairvoyants take French leave moneys and valuables of some of their "clients" usually go along with them. A good ordinance providing for police regulation and the payment of a stiff license fee and the putting up of a heavy bond would be a e-r.ir protection to the public. A GOOD EXAMPLE. First conceived of by the Inland bteel company of Indiana Harbor other big corporations in this region appear to be following its example in giving an annual outing for Its empolyes. An outing day the whole mill shuts down and the men and their families betake themselves away to some recreation, spot and have a good time. The event is looked forward to and with the Inland it has become an annual institution. The latest "concern to adopt the annual outing is the South Chicago works of the Illinois Steel company. On August 19 it will give an outing at Cedar Lake in this county for the families of the 9,100 men in its employe. Although mills are busy these days an dsteel is in much demand work will be forgotten for one day. That good results and a bettor feeling will be obtained all around cannot be enied and other corporations ought to find time for outings. HE IS EXCUSED. A Pittsburg newspaper reporter friend writes us about the wedding of Mr. A. P. Moore, which he had Just covered. "I wrote a bum story,"

he adds, "but I'm new at it. it was the first Lillian Russell wedding I'd ever reported.5'

MAN returning from Germany brought back a mattress with him which, on being searched by the customs authorities, was found to contain fifteen lambskins, twenty-five yards of silk for a dress, eight embroidered and two lace scarfs. That's nothing at all compared with what some of these hotel mattresses have in them. FUNNIEST sight after the adjournment of a National Convention is the homeward parade of 1,067 out ot 1,088 delegates wondering how on earth the coup could have been pulled off without their knowing anything about it. NO fool like an old fool. Still you can't help but feel envious of an old stager who feels the prickle of spring in his veins every year and wants to get out in the back lot and kick top his heels a little. JUST found out why Col. Roosevelt wants to be president so badly. There is $100,000,000 in the U. S. treasury just" now. George W. Perkins and Bill Flinn please write. CHICAGO sixteen year old says she was married in Crown Point and didn't know it. Judge Nicholson simply must make these nuptial events more impressive. TOM O'Connell will get mixed up in this mule business so far one -of these days that he'll have a little civil war on his hands the first thing he knows. THANK Heaven we shall have no more of those shocking things yclept "pictures" showing candidates at their telephones receiving the glad news. TIME was "when the party was greater than the man, but then lots of things are changing since Tim Englehart became an alderman. COUNTRY Club members think that as long as Gov. Marshall wears pajamys he ought to play golf as well as Taft and Wilson. THERE are 25 million bubbles in a cake of soap. No we never counted them, but some fool scientists have lots of time you know. WHAT has become of the oldfashioned man who put a wet cabbage leaf in his straw hat before starting down town? MR. Wilson doesn't kiss babies during a political campaign. Probably tried it and found he frightened them half to death. HOWEVER all party platforms are very much alike. They all promise much more than they will ever accomplish. PORTLAND Oregonlan says the life of a shephard' is not bad. No but after running a paper in Oregon its darned exciting. LIGHTNING struck two men in Gary the other day. Probably looking for a candidate for-alderman from Tolleston. r BOY took poison recently in a theatre down state. Well some xrt the shows are certainly enough to drive one to it. WHY doesn't the original Tom Marshall-for-vice-president man pfick his nop out of the woods and be photographed. SUMMER is certainly here. In the Calumet region the fatality rec ord has reached the high average of ten a week. TEDDY is talking yet about the "interests." Whose "interests," Teddy? Yours? BILL Bryan hasn't even time to send a P. S. to Tom Marshall, it seems. HOTENOUGHFORYOU? EVERYBODY'S doing it. TALKING politics. IT'S a habit.

MEMBERS OF DEM. NATIONAL COMMITTEE CALL ON WILSON AT SEA GIRT, CONGRATULATE HIM ON HIS VICTORY. ASSURE HIM THEIR SUPPORT AND PREDICT SUCCESS IN NOVEMBER

S. Oava-nor Wocdrow Wilson and mem bare Democratic National Committee. m IembT.' .ths I0"1'0 national committee called on Wood row Wilson recently at hi noma at Sea Girt, N. J. They congratulated Mm on nia victory at Baltimore and grave him enthusiastic assurances of their support. Plana for the campaign were discussed, and there waa an atmosphere of hopefulness about tha gathering auch aa ha rarely been seen among Democrats for a long- time. Tha camera man waa on hand for a picture. Governor Wilson la seen in tha canter of tha group. At hi left la eea Norman EL Mack, chairman ot the Democratic national committee.

HO WD ypu like to be a bull moose and get back to nature, and into the company of Brother George Perkins, Brother Munsey and Brother GIfford? to say nothing of Brother BUI Flinn. CHICAGO Judge has decided that the expression, "Oh. you beautiful doll" Is a compliment. However, the recent wife of one Gary millionaire didn't think bo. SOME theological, students have voted that hell has no fire. We always did believe that old Nic got hie preliminary training as a Janitor. "HEAT KNOCKS OUT NEWSPAPER EMPLOYES." Times' headline. Are you sure that It wasn't something else? NEWSPAPER says that the cost of living is a burning issue. It is especially so when your wife forgets and lets a 65-cent porterhouse steak smoke. IN the meantime what's become of the old-fashioned camp meeting the kind that brought forth fried Fprlns chicken as well as heavenly prayers? NOW days half the republicans have to spend most of their, time figuring out whether they are irregularly regular or regularly irregular. AS to news accuracy we might mention that on Monday night one Gary newspaper said that the name of a man struck by lightning was "Kurth." a second one printed it'as "Gurth" and the third as "Kurtz." Whether tha lightning or the misprinting hurt the victim the most hasn't been found out. AMONG other things that many newspaper editors have shoved Into the profit and loss hell box are a Idt of photo plates bearing the Inscription, "May occupy the White House" and showing visages of the Oscar Underwood. Beauchamp Clark. Theodore Rosenfelts, Herb Hadley, etc., and families. IF a lot of married couples "liked" as well as "loved" there'd be less running to the divorce courts. WILD BILL DUNROY, the effete press agent at Lake Woods park, has thrust the following little immortal upon us. Tlie' calm potato looks at me With wide unwinking eyes. And, somehow, strange as it may be It never shows surprise. v GARY is using twice as much water as it did a year ago, says the waterworks superintendent; In addition to the strain on him, poor old Lake Mich!, gan must be terribly wrought up trying to figure out whether lees beer is being drunk or whether the extra water i-J being used by the natives for bathing purposes.- Come to think of it the Y. M. C. A. lnstalleed a dozen shower baths, so' the increase in water used might be there. SPEAKING of water. Hennery Coldbottle called on his mother-in-law last night and when she asked Hennery if the water was good down at Baltimore he was unable to answer.
