SAD BEAST, THE MOOSE.
In the quiet of his study In Stam
ford, Conn., the Rev. William J. Long
has been refreshing his memory
touching the bull moose, and has Just
made public his findings in the In
dependent. His verdict is that "bull moose" is not a high title for a man
nr a party to adopt.
"From a book entitled 'The Wild
erness Hunter,' and written by one T
Roosevelt," says Mr. Long, he takes
these quotations:
"The bull moose lives on the pub
lie domain and Is a very wasteful
feeder."
"He is of a wandering and flighty
disposition. His flesh, moreover
coarse and stingy; his hide is thick and 'of very poor quality' " "Hhe frequently shows a clumsy slowness of apprehension which amounts to down-right stupidity." Mr. Long, it may be mentioned, is the naturalist who was termed a nature faker by the claimant, but there can be no going behind the returns la this instance. As a simple matter of history just recall that the Colonel said he felt like a bull moose.

CUPID HOLDS THE RECORD.
There is every reason why the
Burns ditch project should be hast
ened and the Little Calumet valley
drained. This year, with the over
flow, the Little Calumet went on i
regular rampage. It has always been a source of bother and the only one that ever laughed at it was Cupid. We cite the incident at the
wedding of Betsy Prents and
Lorenzo Beebe In the year of grace
1837. They arrived at the banks of
the Calumic, as it was than called
intending to get married at Squire Ball's cabin out Hobart township
way, on the other side of the stream
But the river was wide and the boat
ing facilities meager. However, the squire had leather lungs and he shouted the words of union over to the lovers on the Jersey side and they replied back. This is about the only time that man got ahead of the sinuous Calumet but if the Burns ditch comes the stream will be conquered.
HOW THE NEWS TRAVELS. Captioned "Building Thirteen
Houses at Garytown," . the Gary Evening Post last night printed two
paragraphs about the boom at the new air line settlement just past East Gary.
The Post clipped this item from
the July number of the Air Line
News of Chicago.
The Air Line News clipped the
self same item from the LaPorte Argus-Bulletin.
It went to the last-named news
paper from THE TIMES without any
credit. Just one month ago today,
THE TIMES, printed the Garyton
story that has since gone the rounds of two states and which appeared
last night In the Gary Post.

DOING THE RIGHT. "Stand' by the right," cries the preacher. That's a pretty tough task sometimes, but not so hard as to
know what is right, when there are
thousands equally Intelligent and honest, to gainsay almost every proposition supposed to be right. For Instance, there is the editor of a secu
lar paper. He may be aa anxious to do the rigth in his sphere as the preacher, but what phase of the
thousand, and one questions that come within his range of observation and action Is right? What is just the right position on the bank question, on finance generally, tariff,
labor, temperance, etc. What posi
tion on any of these is there that haa
not been deemed wrong by many?
Though one may make thorough
study and conscientious effort to
reach right conclusions, he may still have looming up before him the
great question, "What is truth?" The
Immortal Lincoln made a qualiflca
tion ever needed when exhorted to do right. "Let us do the right aa God
gives us to see the right," There Is no doing better than this, says the
Lagrange Standard.
WHO TAKES RESPONSIBILITY I To the farmer, the herder, tha ranchman and the hunter a dog is a necessity. In the city it is a nuisance. While the dog is a domestic animal it is not natural for it to Inhabit the cities. The close confinement is foreign to its nature. That is, speakJ" of dogs generally.
For this reason dogs which have
no visible means of support should be killed. Dogs which have a visi
ble means of support may bo
dessignated by the tax tag and a muzzle. . ,
It Is the mangy tramp dog that Is a
menace to the community. He is poorly fed and subject to disease. That points to the wisdom of killing all dogs whose owners do not care enough about them to pay the tax and buy a muzzle. Some of the owners think they are above the law and
don t need to buy muzzles. It looks
as If they were right.
ine aog tax is u a year and a
muzzle can be bought for 50 cents
so that if a dog is worth keeping he is surely worth that much. A mm
who is content that his dog should be
menace to the children and bableB
of the community deserves to have
it shot.
There is no use In going into the
terrors of rabies. Enough has been
said about that. The point is, If one
of the tramp dogs innoculate a child
with this dread disease who will take
the responsibility?
No matter how well-bred or how
rich an owner he has, any dog with
out a tag or a muzzle is a tramp.
Some of these days one of these
dogs will bite about a dozen children.
They will die in the horrible agonies
of hydrophobia.
Then the people of this city who
pay taxes and support city officials
and policemen will wake up.

INDIANA
Washington, D. C, July 13. Governor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nominee for President, will go to Chicago Monday for a conference with the members of the National Committee. The conference will discuss the preliminary arrangements for the national campaign and will probably decids
upon the managers and their lieutenants who will be given charge of the campaign headquarters both In the East and the West. ,
The first definite step towards the crystallization of the third party
movement will be taken next Saturday, when the Roosevelt supporters in
Michigan will hold a convention at Jackson to complete the organization of
the "National Progressive Party." It Is planned to hold the convention in the same grove of oaks under which the Republican party was organised in 1864. The convention will nominate a complete State ticket.
Several thousand delegates will assemble in Chicago Monday for the na
tional convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Another important gathering of the week will be the annual convention of the American Forestry Association, which will begin its sessions Thursday at Bretton Woods.
N. H.
Prime Minister Asqulth has fixed Thursday as the day for his triumphal visit to Dublin.

The calendar for the week calls for numerous fixtures that will attract
the attention of all followers of sport and athletics. Prominent among the events on the list are the annual amateur championship tournament of the
Western Golf Association, at Denver; the annual regatta of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association, at Put-in-Bay; the annual national meet of the Federa
tion of American Motorcyclists, at Columbus, O.; the Grand Circuit trotting

her mother, who had been adjudged by
the circuit court to be unfit to rear her own children, Ethel Favors, a frail child, eleven years old, on seeing Sheriff White coming to the Favors home to take her and her sisters, Lil

physician. The little girl will recover.

SONG IS FINAL MESSAGE. "It was best to leave you thus, dear; best for you and best for me," so ends the final stanza of the old melody, "In the Gloaming," two verses of which

by Inhaling Illuminating gas.

that she sent her eight-year-old son, an only son, to spend the day with his aunt and asked her husband to take
