To give charity and deny justice is a mockery. The man who secures a great fortune by business trickery can not Justify himself In the eyes of people of sense, to say nothing of the Almighty by endowing colleges, building libraries, or contributing to relief funds. Charity is the sweetest Incense ot sympathy, the register of the heart's fullness, a blessing alike to him that gives and him that takes; but from the hand of a robber it comes like a stinging insult. The doctrine that the acceptance of tainted money hurts the cause of any sacred organization, is a doctrine that is economically correct; for gratitude prevents resistance and the bondage of the almsman is more vile than that of the slave. An almsgiver, who gives away wealth secured through injustice, seems to be like one watching from a safe harbor the struggles of a drowning man, without offering him either encouragement or aid, who when a crashing wave ' flings the struggler senseless upon the shore, shall rush to furnish him with a cordial to revive him, and then force him back again into the pitiless deep. Human Justice would make charity unnecessary, everywhere. Men and women starve not because the privileged classes are uncharitable to them, but because they are unjust. The great fundamental natural right to work for one's self la forbidden to the poor by men who employ vast fortunes "to prevent labor -that U. by men who buy land and hold It unused, for profit to themselves. There will always be pitiable poverty on earth, while this dog-in-the-manger policy is permitted and encouraged by law. It Is a very simple proposition that no man should be allowed to prevent another from working land which h? is unwilling to work so simple that it should be unnecessary to refer to it as unjust. It would be an exceed ingly simple matter to remedy the whole difficulty by the government refusing to grant title to unuoed land; but we throw up our hands at the suggestion, "because wa have al ways done the other way." How difficult it is to see and act upon the simplest truths! How many thousands of people will read this and similar statements of the samo principle, and grant that it is true. without doing anything about it! V THE CLASSIFIED COLUMN.. One way to judge a newspaper is by its classified column and by read ing that column you may Judge a community. The classified column of a live newspaper mirrors the a& tlvities of the community. Two years ago the "Help Wanted' column was about as thin as the early morning mists. Industry was dead and long lines of laborers waited at the gates of the various fac

Today the classified column reveals the fact that six of the leading industries of the city want help of various classifications. The "Help Wanted" column is long drawn out. The situation wanted column contains Just two ads. The manufacturer realizing that THE TIMES is the only paper which reaches out through this great industrial community and gets in touch with the men, patronizes its columns liberally. Another thing that indicates the great revival of business activity is the "For Sale" column. Real estate dealers have learned that one of the effective ways to get in touch With "prospects" is to advertise in the classified columns of THE TIMES. It is absolutely the only way to rent a house at a minimum cost. And then there are the scores of miscellaneous wants and needs of the community that are presented to the public through the classified columns of THE TIMES. The habitual use of THE TIMES classified columns indicates studied method in business. It is the business man's short cut to what he wants; and usually wants in a hurry. A and B want an interview with Mr. J. "A" walks a mile to see him; "B" uses the telephone with equal effect and at a great saving of time and energy. A is the kind of a man who would run all over town in search of a stenographer. B is the fellow who would telephone a classified add to THE TIMES and have a stenographer at his elbow the next morning. . , It is all a matter of method, of em ploying the facilities one has at hand. It is a matter of appreciating a good thing. The keen business man knows, his powers of observa tion have taught him, that THE TIMES is distributed all over this growing community every night. Why then should not the man who is seeking a position, the man who has something to sell, the man who wants to buy, an article of general use, the man who desires in any way to get In touch with a large number of people within a limited time; ufe the classified columns of THE TIMES. The classified columns of THE TIMES are not going to put a clerk at the head of his firm but the clerk with the ability to Bee the quick re sult getting qualities of this column Is a man of the kind of stuff that you can't keep down. FOR HISTORY'S SAKE. Present day newspapers of this new Calumet region "will not be available forty-four years hence when Gary observes the first half century anniversary of its existence. All the local important news and historical events of today will be lost save such as are recorded in books, magazines or the memories of those who live until the fifties of this century. With the processes employed in the making of print paper these days there is little hope that the present newspaper files will last beyond twenty years. In any event, by twenty-five years, they will have crumbled to dust. This was not the case In the old rag paper days for many newspapers of the 1812 vintage are in a better state of preservation than those of 1892. Of course, there are chemical processes of treating bound newspapers for long-time preservation but the cost is said to be a considerable item. Yet, there ought to be some means whereby at least one set of THE TIMES file3 and others of the im-

port ant newspapers in this region be treated with preservatives so that those who are to follow may read ot what we are doing in this generation.

HINT FOR MILLER. . The Illinois Central railroad, which traverses considerable areas of low, flat land upon which are many stagnant pools, breeding places for mosquitoes, acting on the theory that minnows destroy the larvae of these pests, has announced it intention of stocking every stagnant pool on its lines with that variety of crap known as the gold fish. It is said that the gold fish minnow is the only one that can live in such water, and it is hoped that by their employment the mosquitoes may be entirely eradicated. There are many such stagnant pools alongside Indiana railroads, both steam and electric, and the example of the Illinois Cen tral is worthy of Imitation by them. Indianapolis News. TEDDY STARTED IT. Chairman Maloy at tha . mass meeting Monday night condemned newspapers for calling the progressive party the Bull Moose party. In fact there should be a law prohibiting the use of insulting cartoons against any party it does the parties mora harm than good and newspapers should cut such a practice out. Lowell Souvenir. The esteemed Souvenir might make a hit by asking Mr. Maloy Iwhat he thinks of Mr. Roosevelt for saying that he "felt just like a bull moose." ' REMEMBER THE "VELOS?" Thirty-flve years ago: And now the flery, untamed ve loclpede Imperils the safety of the unwary pedestrian. Behold it is not the velocipede, but the untamed auto that makes us all hop pretty lively these days. AND our old friend Tim Englehardt crosses his legs, fills his pipe with klnniklnlc and passes it along to the rest of the boys. Tim is for peace first, last and all the time when he can have his way. WHERE can you beat the line of fiction that a runaway boy 12 years old can dish out. Having run away from home once we cannot help feeling a fellow pang with young Simp son. IF there is one thing that must make Mr. Bryan feel philosophic it is the thought that this year when the democrats have a chance to win, he is not a candidate. CANADA'S contributions to the defence of the Empire so far have been in the nature of enough talk to float a ship, if some other people will buy the ship. IF the fellow who knows it all In politics and persists In starting an argument ask him what he is argu ing about and what the planks In his platform are. "HOD" Stillwell the king-pin bull mooser of Indiana is doubtless wandering up and down the state making promises that he can't fill. THAT incoherent worrying noise comes from Baron Rothschild at Indianapolis wondering on what side of the fence ha is going to alight. EXCHANGE says that the most pathetic thing in life is to see a man trying to support an automobile wife en a wheelbarrow salary. THE coal dealer simply hashes over that gran dole copy book maxim, "Everything comes to him who waits." "FAIR and cooler," said the weather man yesterday and of course it was "fair and hotter. Cinch. COME on let's all settle down to business and let the elephant, the donkey and the bull moose fight out. it IN the meantime it is safe to say that the weather man is in favor of both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt. PUSHING a snow shovel is not much better exercise than running a lawn mower, is it? SO far they haven't blamed the aeroplane for race suicide, but It will coas it will come.

HEARD BY RUBE b3 "ASTOR HEIR IN TWO WEEKS." Examiner headline. One guess, only. Boy or glrlDISPATCIIES have it that the church Is going to use influence to stop the revolutions down In South America. When the church gets through It might come up to Gary and corral Don Porflrio Dlas Knotts and General Orozco Castleman. SO Brother Tom O'Connell has donned the Harbor fan mantle and la to be the Charley Comlskey of the place. This makes it better than ever for Crown Point to head the league that is. reading the schedule upwards. IN passing it will not be out of place to mention that George Mustard is the chief of police down at Rensselaer. 'Tls said he makes it hot for speeders. ONE good thing about the bull moose convention is that you can go into Chicago while the sessions are on and know In advance that you can get a hotel room without any trouble. "They are using thirteen men on California juries very successfully, but effort to use five aces in one poker game met with its usual failure at Gary yesterday. One man was shot in the leg. one's skull was fractured and two are missing." Indianapolis - News. WILL, some one kindly cable down to the Marion county corn fields and let The News know that the poker game was on the Kankakee river? Both the Oary and Kankakee countries are mutually opposed to being placed in the same class. ONE reason that they don't like young women in bridge whist clubs la that there Is always one who will refer to her husband as "Mister" and another who will persist in telling about baby's cute sayings. IN the meantime Brother Bill Taft is sawing wood and saying nothing. WHY is It that some men waft away a ten spot seeing the Cubs or Sox and then kick like a steer when wlfle wants ft.50 to buy an electric iron for the hot days? JUDGING from the fried chicken and green corn stories out of Kansas the hired man has a soft snap these days. MODERN EVE We meant the Fern Leaf clubfl not the Fig Leaf club, would give the social. As usual, the proofreader's fault. SOME one down In Center ' township reports the katydid being heard six weeks ahead of time. Nothing to it. Merely the chirping of the bull moose in search for fodder. AS near as we can figure it out the committee that was appointed some months ago to get better mail service between the cities of tbe Calumet region is about as busy aa a member of the Indiana legislature between sessions. A DOWN the district paper has a want ad which reads that an "experienced man and wife, no children," want a position. Now, experienced in what? UNDERSTOOD that Crown Point is to have two more cops on Its night police force. Always did say that when that interurban line got running up to the Gary great white way that the county seat natives would begin to stay out later than 9 o'clock.

Recent Legal Decisions GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GENERAL There appeared in the newspapers of Kansas an article relating to the violation of the law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors; the writer stating that he had recently been in a small town in a part of the state and attended the meeting of a certain club that sold beer openly over the bar, and could therefore not see why, these conditions prevailing everywhere, all the odium of the situation should be hung on Cherokee and Crawford counties. This article came to the notice of Governor Stubbs, who immediately "directed" the attorney general to subpoena the writer of the article before him and get what Information he could in regard to the violations of the law alluded to. The attorney generally replied that he had already started investigation of the affair, but did not deem it expedient or necessary under the circumstances of the case to summon the particular witness, the writer of the article; and objected to the governor's dictating the details of con ducting a prosecution on behalf of the state, contending that while, without doubt, the governor and likewise the legislature could require him to "prose

The governor, however, insisted oa the particular witness being summoned; but. In order that a test case might be made to determine the powers of the two offices, the attorney general respectfully declined. Mandamus proceedings were then instituted by the governor. The Kansas supreme court held that the term "prosecute" also included the summoning of witnesses, as In the present case, preparatory to the trial of the cause, but refused to decide how far the stocking would stretch, as the question was not directly presented. Two strong dissenting opinions were filed by Judges West and Porter, the tenor of which were that there was no reason why the majority decision would not allow the governor to direct the examination of the witnesses, the order of their examination on trial, the questions asked, and In fact to control tha details of all prosecutions; that the two offices were distinct and separate, and that the governor had no more power under the statute to direct prosecutions by the attorney general than, either branch of the lisgature, so that the decision as rendered would permit it also to control the details of prosecutions. Finally it was denied that the term "prosecute" included the mere collection of testimony, as In this case, preparatory to the institution of proceedings, state vs. Dawson, 119 Pacina eporter, 360.
