The statement that busy business should not take the time the "mixup in polities" betokens a small mind. To begin with, no good citizen will admit that a business man's only duty ia to make money. That is a amall. contemptible view of life. The Rlalto and the Stock Exchange are not worth the earth's most Important places. Wall Street represents selfishness, primarily; and a man be comes decent only when he abandons the exclusive pursuit of wealth and devotes part of his time to things more Important. But even if the sole duty of man were to glorify Mammon and serve him forever, politics should have the keenest possible Interest for him. From ten to fifty percent of the cost of living to every citizen depends upon government. The United States government has a tariff which affects prices and wages in practically every industry from Minnesota to the Oulf, and In the sweet persuasive language of the political orator, "from the dashing, crashing waves of the Atlantic to where the Sierra Nevadas dip their pearly toes In the golden waves of the unset ea." j The question of liquor licenses affects the purse of the total abstainer as well as of the booze-fighter. The revenue tax on tobacco bears directly upon the purse of the most delicate woman who can't look at a pipe without fainting. Government favors of every sort, from the granting of railroad franchises to the recording of deeds to unused land, touch the living of each man, woman and child. It is only the simpleton who is misled in to believing that the cost of government to him, is represented by the direct taxes that he pays. The difference between fair and unfair laws plays a more important part in the finances of each citizen than the difference between high and low wages. Good citizens are voters and primary worekrs. Political activity of the honest kind is g cardinal virtue. The united political action of all fair citizens would affect every purse and bank account in the land, banish involuntary poverty, raise wages, put an end : to special privileges, abolish the practice of holding land out of use for profit, which Is the greatest industrial crime of the world and bring sunshine and roses into the cheeks of millions that are starving. God bless the politician. PLAYING UP MURDERS. . It is bad enough to have to print a good deal about a murder when it ia committed but the way some of the Chicago newspapers are feeding their readers upon murder trials, especially the Morrow case. Is nerve-racking. But few country newspapers and t those of the lesser cities commit this

It seems to be one or the great foundations of the Chicago school of editors. Elsewhere it Is dying out but Chicago seemingly sticks to old traditions and follows a lot of set forms. ' PORTUGAL'S TROUBLES. The Portuguese government Is forced to admit that northern Portu gal has many royalists In arms. Some of the rebel bands are large and Increasing rapidly in size and strength. Good authorities estimate the sentiment of that part of the country at nine-tenths monarchical, not so much from any love of kings as on account of the extreme unpopularity of the present government. In the vicinity of Lisbon, where the existing government Is most thoroughly entrenched, there have been small risings against the repub lic and In the capital itself outbreaks of hostility to the rulers of the coun try are frequent. All of the condi tlons Indicate that real civil war is on, instead of mere local disturb ances. It is all as natural as it is unfair. No government could make Portugal prosperous and reasonably free from debt and extreme poverty. But with out such changes for the better the country can never be content under any administration. It ia a situation perfectly adapted to fomenting re volts and keeping the government In secure and greatly hampered In try ing to bring about better conditions for the masses. MAY HAVE A CHANCE. Collier's Weekly states that the era of the ameteur in politics has arrlv ed. It cities young McCombs the new chairman of the national democratic committee. If this is true then the Hon. Mike Duffy of Benton county, perennial candidate for the demo cratlc congressional nomination- of this district, may have some chance of being nominated. PRINCIPAL INVOLVED. Over in Whiting the Retail Mer chants Association was formed for the purpose of taking concerted ac tion in the matter of hours of closing etc. The merchants organized to protect their interests. The determina tion to shorten the hours of labor of the clerks was commendable. The organization was all right so long as the matter of Joining the as soclatlon was a voluntary act. But after they had signed up all of the voluntary memberships they attempt ed to cooerce the rest of the business men and women of the city to join their association. A struggling grocery woman was told 'that if she did not join the as soclatlon that she would not be able to buy from the wholesalers from whom they made their purchases. The agents of Armour &. Co, and the National Biscuit Co. were inform ed that if they sold goods to this woman they would lose the trade of the association. It was then that the woman showed the fight that was in her. She! employed an attorney and suit has! been brought under the Indiana statute which makes any act in restraint of trade punishable by a heavy fine and possible imprisonment. The action of the Whiting Retail Merchant's association was un-American. Mrs. Mary Bock, the business woman in question, has a perfect right to stay out of the association is she so desires. The only recourse of the association in such a case Ib to bring public sentiment to bear against a person who would profit by their early closing. To attempt to force her to join the association is a mistake. Fortunately there is an Indiana law which protects the woman. But ,the great principal of personal liberty

is involved and the issue is an important one.

IF the monarchists could overthrow, the republic they would nevr be able to satisfy the demands of the people. If they were to restore the kingdom they could not keep it from falling again, before long, under the weight of public condemnation for falling to do what is beyond the power of any rulers of a country desperately involved in debt and desperately poor. - . WHEN the next Olympiad cornea 'round many of the stars of the Stock holm games will be out of the running but a new ; American crop will be ready to take the places left va cant in a team of champions. SENATOR Bailey that gran dole faker from Texas says there will be i revolution in this country within 30 years. All Bailey needs Is a set of hoops and a pair of pantalettes to make him a Mother Shipton. RATHER than sacrifice a legacy of $50,000 a St, Louis man has assumed his wife's maiden name. Would you take your honeybun's, name for a paltry fifty thousand plunks? ABOUT the limit however is the man who lives in a city that has a fine winning ball team and who goes around "knocking" the players. To the burning oil with him. NO it is not Tschaikowsky's "Sixth Symphony." "Pathetlque," it Is just the wopsy weeping of Battleaxe Castleman as he thinks of what might have been. THERE is one kind of bed you make that you are not expected to lie on and that is the flower bed. The cat and the dog think it was made for their comfort. . ED Lee and Col. Lockwood assisted by Hod Stillwell are rattling around like a noise in a boiler factory but the doughty colonel is surely in the right. .' ALPHOKSO the King of Spain in vites Americans to visit the exposition in 1914 at Seville, He will probably -have a couple more kids by that time. . A BOY cannot understand why when the vacation days are on he has to wash his face just the same as he does when school days are on. AN elephant recently attacked his keeper in the east and nearly killed him. It is pointed out that he may have taken him for a bull moose. ENJOY it while you may for It won't be long before the breezes that muff us now will be coming from Medicine Hat with a vengeance. WON'T somebody please open the back door and let Frank Heney and Glf Pinchot sneak Into the demo cratic party where they belong. THERE can't be any doubt that Governor Marshall Is the real thing as a Democrat of the old, JeffersonIan school. He chews tobacco. SOMEBODY should get a stepladder and look through the transom Chancellor Day hasn't been heard from for at least three weeks. MAN 101 years old has just played his first game of golf. Still he's young enough to lose a lot of balls if he keeps on foozling. IT is said that there are 50,000 windowless rooms In New York. And New York hasn't many militant lady suffragists, either. HEAT and rain make the prize combination for growing crops if the. mixing is done carefully, with nelth er in excess. WHEN th dictograph comes into general use It will not be safe even to ask a friend Inside to have a drink DOUBTLESS by this time you have found out which as the weeds and which are, the tomato plants. REAL estate when all is said and done, is just what you yourself make it a live or a dead proposition. THIS certainly is the time for short-sleeved girls and ugly elbows,

THE , TIMES.

I took a trip to Beverly 'Twaa Just the other day. And found Bill Taft most cleverly Upon the links at play. "Forgive me for Intruding: Your pardon. Bill, I crave." Said I, "but I've been brooding O'er a matter very grave For some three weeks; I'm hearing. You've said it Is not use. Pray tell me, are you fearing The Donkey or the Moose?" HEARD BY RUBE THE butter trust Is to bo gotten after by the government. If it is as strong as some of its product we see poor old Uncle Sam stung In advance. THE way the Gary negroes have been killing tholr neighbors suggests that they evidently believe that Governor Marshall thinks that their skin is dark er than their crimes and they needn't fear the neck-rope. UNITED STATES senate is huffy and has passed a resolution getting after President Taft for trying to Influence its members. If the senate now passes a resolution of the same kind directed at some of the trusts certain of its members have been Influenced by we'll all certainly feel that it really has dignity. WHAT'S this? Bat Nelson in love with a countess? And with all of those Hegewisch belles still unsolitaired. Bat, stick to your home town first. GOV. MARSHALL is trying to decide hich has been the happiest day of his lite when he was married, when he became governor, when ha was nom inated at-Baltimore or when Jawn W. Kern was made a. senator. Better wait a while governor before you make your decision as you might get Tom Knotts' goat in the meantime. STANLEY committee will recommend that the steel trust be dissolved. From past anl profitable experience with the oil trust dissolution we advise our read ers to grab all of the steel stock they can. NOWDAYS Instead of being governed by political bosses we have to put up with colonels. This includes Col. Tim Englehart. BERLIN theatre goers are up In arms. The men say that the women put on so much powder that it fills the air and makes 'em sneeze. Once went into an Indiana Harbor show and started sneezing and thought that it was caused by the face powder, but later discovered it was merely some of the Bufflngton cement that blows over the neighbors. AS Abe Martin says if you can't go on a vacation let your wife go and stay home and take a rest. Judging from our society column the idea has. taken hold of Lake county. "A plank demanding uniform mar riage and divorce laws has been placed In tno prohibition platform. Crown Pofnt.' Ind:, St. Joe. Mich., and Reno. Nev., are not likely to be carried by the prohibitionists." Chicago Record-Her-old. It was all right to joke about Crown Point in the old days, but now since it has street car connections with Gary it is rather dignified and you have to be careful. - . GARAGE and repair men are sighing heavily these days. Alderman Tim Englehart has put the ban on women . taking Joy rides in the Gary city auto, i SEE by the dispatches that the U. S. steel has raised the price of sheets, j But they are of the steel variety, however, which does not advance the high cost of sleeping. j 'STEEMED Indianapolis News feels so bad over Teddy that it refuses to j print his name any more and Just I refers to him as the Bull Moose. j HENNERY COLDBOTTLE went to the Crown Point-Laporte baseball game the other day , and when he came home late his. wife shut him out. This is what we call a base deal. PRESBYTERIAN church down at Winona is to have a "purpose" night for the young folks. Better make it "propose" night and the girls will turn out en masse. SWISS legislature has passed a law providing that all births In aeroplanes must be registered. This is nothing new. Over here our Hearst papers have got the registration business down to such a science that they predict j births In high life long before they ever ; happen. . ! ALDERMEN of Whiting have instructed the street commissioner to turn oft the water supply of those who do not pay up. Inasmuch as Whiting has the usual quota of saloons and Jawn D. never thought enough of the town to give it a few shower bathhouses there won't be much inconvenience caused. THE film trust u to be dissolved. No

Thereat Bill chuckled tally. "Young man, pray brood no more; In strength I'm gaining dally. Dost hear that far-off roar? it is the Bull Moose grieving Down there at Oyster Bay That all Its friends are leaving To Join me in the fray. Poor Moose! Its deathknell's ringing. Its life Ted cannot save. Sweet flowers he'll soon be bringing To strew upon its grave.

"The Donkey, loudly braying. No terrors has for me. Some day. with golf-stock playing, I'll heave him out to sea. What will avail his cunning As he struggles in the brineT He won't bo in the running. Young man, the race is mine'" Thus saying. Bill Taft. smiling, A farewell bade me then, And said he'd be beguiling The hours with golf again. Heart toffeart Talks. By EDWIN A.. WYE. HER GREAT LOVE. "The Lord do so to me and more also if aught but death part thee and me." it it is aim cult to choose between a thousand stories of heroism in that night when the Titanic went down, one story stands out graphic and luminous. the story of the great love of the wife of Isidor Straus, the philanthropise She refused to save her life, choosing to die with the husband of her youth. She was urged to go. Almost they compelled her to go. Her husband, wbo had chosen a manly death for himself and who spurned alt offers of safety so long as women and children remained, added his pleadings, begging her in the name of their children and grandchildren to go to the boats. She clung to her husband. Had they not come down the years together, sharing each other's sorrows and Joys'? And sbe loved him now no less than In the days of their plighted troth. Sbe was bound to him by tender ties that even death could not loosen. He was her lover. Together they had come thus far; together thej would go. And ahe refused all aid. Think what this woman did. If she would leave her husband to his certain fate, ahead of her stretched out years of ease and comfort in her old age. Ahead of her If she would go were the love and care of her children, the prattie of grandchildren, peaceful years. Close at hand was horrid death. And this delicate woman deliberately disdained the offer of the years. If life meant separation from her other self she passionately chose death. And so, with her; arms abont her beloved, she gladly went down with him. Only one picture? Yes, but among all which the world will iove to remember of that time that tried men's souls and the souls of women will be that radiant, appealing picture silhouetted against that dark night of terror, the picture of the great hearted woman who. loving her own. loved him to the end. Oh, weary, sated woman; oh, listless husband, crying out In your complainings of the marriage bonds that chafe, look on this lasting, vivid picture of conjugal fidelity. . strong and holding fast in the hour and article of death! What may we write under It? What more significant words than those of another woman of this race. Ruth, the Moabltess: "Where thou dlest I will die. aad there will I be buried.' doubt the district attorneys found It an easy matter to see through its reel actions.
