COVERS LIKE THE DEW. After reading over what Roosevelt stands for one finds that there is nothing left out. Everything is promised. Of course, such petty details as three half-holidays a week for the chambermaids, double votes for mothers of twins, free fertilizer for the farms, sterilized toothpicks at the free lunch counters, military titles for professors, commissions for the propagation of pickerel, etc. are left out. Yet withal it is pleasing to observe that planks are for the owning of trowel3 by bricklayers and for the elimination of green grocers, butchers, delicatessen shopkeepers, butter and egg store proprietors and all middlemen. Middlemen who earn their living commit treason. Therefore down with middlemen! Will the middlemen kindly remember this in November. GERMAN3 are said to be taking quite kindly to baseball in the Kaiser's realm. Wonder how they get along with the vocabulary? And also whether they have got as far in hurling pop-bottles as we have over here. WE stand with both feet for the abolition of the ancient practice of hurling rice and shoes at bridal coupler. The bridegroom suffers enough without it, as we who have been there can testify to. AMERICAN was arrested in London for throwing money into the streets, but as a rule the English waiters and porters do not allow Americana to get into the street with very much money. DO YOU THINK FOR YOURSELF? A source of ever-increasing astonishment to the person who dares to think, is the largest number of men and women who do not believe the simplest and plainest facts. When you consider Columbus In the days when the world was square and flat, or think of Salem when witches. had no defense, the thing is laughable enough; and the child of ten smiles superiorly at the ignorance of the fifteenth century scholar. But the world Is not free from 'falsehood yet; and one has but to look about him with half an eye to 'see absurdities more ridiculous than the one that exploded in 1492. Consider, this, for instance. Nearly everybody will admit off-hand, as a fact too simple to debate, that, personally, no man can possibly deserve anything for which he does not render a service fairly commensurate with the reward. Also almost every man who thinks will see at once that, socially, It must be foolish and cruel to prevent men from working Independently, who desire to do so; for when you prevent a man from working inde-

31 V FRIEND. It la a irweet thing, friendship a dear halm, A happy and auspicious bird of culm. Which rides o'er life's ever tumultuous ocean A god that brood o'er chaos In commotion i A flower which, freak as Lapland roses are. Lifts Its hold head Into the world's pure air. And blooms most radiantly when others dieHealth, hope and youth, and brief prosperity.. And, with Use light and odor of lta bloom,v Shining- vritaln the dungeon and the tomb Whose routing Is as light and music are 'Mid dissonance and isloom a star Which moves not 'mid the moving heavens alone. A smile among dark frowns a gentle tone Among rude voices, a beloved light, A solitude, a' refuge, a delight. If 1 had but a friend! Why, I have three. Even by my own confession j there may be Some more, for what I know; for 'tis my mind To rail my friends all who are wise and kind. And these, heavens known, at best are very few. But none can be more dear than you. Why should they bet My muse has lost her wings. Or like a dying swan who soars and . ataga I should describe you In heroic style. But as It la are yon not void of gullet A lovely soul, formed to he blessed and bless A well of sealed and secret bappiaeanj A lute, which those whom love ban taught to play Make muMc on. to cheer the roughest dayf Percy Byssbe Shelley. pendently you reinstate the Mason and Dixon line. Yet both these evils are at once involved when the law gives any man a title to a natural resource which he will not make use of. For instance to grant a railroad a franchise and then have it hold that franchise to sell at a profit as has been done, not only allows a set of men to earn without service, but enables them to prevent others from building a railroad until their "profit" is realized. Land ownership, which is another form of franchise the exclusive use of a natural right granted to individuals is a most fearful privilege when it is granted and not used. It means that some speculator is making profit without service and that laborers are compelled to work elsewhere if at all and that refers again to the Mason and Dixon line. How simple Is the proposition that a title to unused land 13 the source of unspeakable poverty and ruin. How many people are there who even dare to think about it? And yet the remedy is as simple as the eivl.. Simply stop granting titles to unused land. SOLDIERS OBJECT OF CHARITY. It is Just as well for the old soldiers who are drawing pensions to bear in mind that Wood row Wilson regards them as the recipients of charity rather than the recipients of merited rewards. In his "History of the American People" he vigorously defends the pension policy of Grover Cleveland and on page 180 volume 5. Dr. Wilson says: What most attracted the. attention of the country, aside from his action In the matter of appointments to office, was the extraordinary number of his vetoes. Most of them were tittered against pension bills, great and small. Both , democratic house and republican senate were Inclined to errant any man or class of men who had served In the federal armies during the civil war the right to be supported under the national treasury, and Mr. Cleveland set himself resolutely to check their extravagance ne oeemed It enough that those who had been actually disabled should received pensions from the government, and regarded additional gifts for mere service both an unjustifiable use of the public money and a gross abuse of charity. THE Rudy Leeds of Richmond who yips about the handful of followers that Taft has In Indiana was evidently dumfounded when he read of the real republican convention at Indianapolis. GUESS the Indiana republicans are not missing Almighty Jeremiah Beveridge or Frederick Landi3 very much. THANK goodness, the convention claquer will fold himself up for four years now and silently steal away. CLEVELAND writer offers Ti to anyone who will read his new book.

Why not have made offer 3c, the prevailing Cleveland rate? Probably 3c would be all It was worth to read it anyway.

DYER is acking to be lit up and if you ever went through there on a dark wet night looking for five gallons of gasoline you can't Mame her. CANDIDATES FOR DISCARD. In one of the hundred and one little things that are going to make either Hammond, East Chicago or Gary the largest and most important city in Lake; HAMMOND HAS FAILED AND ITS RIVAL3 HAVE GONE FORWARD. Gary has long since Installed a system of ornamental street lighting. It did this because the most progressive cities in the country are doing it. East Chicago has just signed a contract by which its streets are to become "great white ways." The Hammond city council, therefore, has put the city it represents on record as bedng the least progressive of the three largest cities of northern Lake county. It is humiliating to the progressive citizen, the man who knows that the struggle for position is now being waged ceaselessly by Hammond's neighbors. TO KNOW THAT HAMMOND COUNCILMEN ARE WILLING THAT THE CITY REMAIN IN STYGIAN DARKNESS WHILE THE OTHERS ARE GAY WITH THEIR BOULEVARD LIGHTS. It is worthy of a serious thought to know that Hammond is being rep resented in the city council by men who have no conception of modern improvements and their, need. Men who deliberately misrepresent the progressive element among their constituents for the purpose of catering to ivory headed unprogresslves who makes him think that his views are those of the community at large. Twenty years ago Tacoma and Seattle were at war to determine which city should be the premier city of the Puget Sound territory. The battle was fought along lines of civic development. Seattle adopted one innovation after another. IT WENT HEAD OVER HEELS IN DEBIT. It cut away mountains to make level streets. It built one of the most magnificent boulevard systems in the world right throught the fir covered mountains. It erected skyscrapers when they were hardly needed. It pulled off one of the most successful world's fairs that this country ha3 ever known. And now it has authorized a bond issue of $5,000,000 for the purpose of building one of the greatest rail and water terminals in the world. This is in preparation for the opening of the Panama canal. Seattle will never be out-distanced by Tacoma, Portland or any other city in the great northwest. The city of Galveston, In order to I maintain its position as the principal Texas port, built a sea wall around the entire city and then raised the grade of the entire city 20 feet. Not content with this it has Just completed a great causeway between the city and the mainland whch cost $1,750,000 and accomodates four railroad tracks and a highway. Hammond is, commercially, the most important city in Lake County. ITS CLAIM, HOWEVER, IS HANGING BY A NARROW THREAD. The purchase by the Schlessinger interests of a site for the Northwestern Iron company is all that prevented the city from: taking third place in the county before the next census is taken. Hammond has only a fighting chance now. And yet its councilmen, men who are supposed to be alive to the interests of the city and are expected to take a broad viaw of matters that affect its progress, ignore the demands of its business men and KILL A MEASURE DESIGNED TO PROPERLY LIGHT THE STREETS OF THE CITY. The men who voted for and against this proposition ought to be put on record. The people ought to determine by such acts as these that some effective pruning is necessary in the city council to make it an efficient body. John E. Fitzgerald says: "It is bad to have grafters in your city council BUT A GRAFTER IS BETTER ANY DAY THAU AN OBSTRUCTIONIST. You can get results with a grafter but an obstructionist kills off your town and YOUR ONLY WEAPON IS TO REMOVE HIM AT THE NEXT ELECTION." FOR STREET LIGHTS: Whitaker, PascalJy, Schutz, Markmueller and Hubbard. AGAINST STREET LIGHTS AND CANDIDATES FOR THE DISCARD: Moriarty, Eggers Kahl, Stodola, Cotton. Hower, Sturm, Kane, Lauer, Eastwood. One of these men doesn't live in his Ward and hiian't i. i cy i catu lcu 11 for years

THE TIMES.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. The republican state convention Chose a ticket of which the party can be proud. Headed by Durbin who gave the state the best business administration It has had in a decade the ticket is one that will appeal to the sane business man and the farmer who have no use for political "isms" and farrango. The people who think that because Almighty Jeremiah Beveridge is running for governor of Indiana on a bull moose ticket that the republican party Is dead, will be sadly astonished when the returns come in next November. Beveridge will run a very poor third and perhaps fourth. Indeed we predict that the socialists will get as many and probably more votes than the Beveridge-Landls ticket in Indiana. DEATH-DEALING HASTE. We heat a great deal of talk about the return to the simple life. Would it not be well if we returned to the simple life in travel, also, rather than plunge thousands to destruction? What does it profit, all this death-dealing haste? Is life held so lightly in this "advanced" age that we can afford wantonly to sacrifice it? THERE are lots of women complaining about the high cost of living and yet they are the very first to knock out about three pair of white shoes during the summer season. FEW women want men to .work night and day to make them happy. They simply want their husbands to stay home o' nights and let It go Ht that. LOTS of dogs have more intelligence than their masters and the masters' wives do not hesitate at backing up the statement. IT didn't take Judge McMahan very long to decide that the licyi and the lamb must lie down together in the traction controversy. SOME men laugh at women driving nails with a hammer. Give 'em a hair brush and they'll drive it all right enough. READ there fifteen columns of Dr. Roosevelt's confession of faith yet? WHAT with the katydids charping and the street car bells clanging Crown Point must be a pretty live town these days. YOU'LL have to admit that if nothing else is big about it there is certainly some size to the tongue of the Roosevelt band wagon. IT may please our rural route constituency to learn that Brother Louis of the subscription department, who is on a furlough until his famous hoss gets over the heaves, is almost tickled to death about the latest cute doing of his kid nephew. Kid went and used the screen fly swatter as a toaster. "NO big scandals In either private or public life have broken loose. Hammond Is decent." From a TimBs editorial. Now, Crown Point, ain't you ashamed of yourself? THE entente cordials down In the backwoods: Mrs. E. B. Newman returns her thanks for favors from Mrs. McMahan, who sent her a beautiful bouquet of fine gladioli. Mrs. McMahan has a large bed and the plants ara blooming profusely. Milton correspondence to the Richmond Palladium. SEE by a Canadian exchange that they now have a scarlet-llvered footman on hia motor car so that the pepull will know his II. R. II.. the Duke of Connaught. Good idea for H. R. H., Tim Knglehart, Duke of Ridge road, to follow. RAISING the pay of women, no more farm mortgages, no more trusts, high wages, solving the tariff question, female suffrage, twins for all mothers, and other great redemies are promised in Doc Roosevelt's confession of faith. He hai nothing on' old Doc Munyon as a ,cure-all. SOME one please tell 'em fall has arrived: At no time during the year does the complexion need a little extra care more than Just now in the early spring. Chicago Daily News, Aug. 8. "MY GOD, this Is not politics this Is religion! I say it reverently." Senator Dixon at Bull Moose convention. Please clip out and mall to Deacon A. F. Knotts. FAMOUS movements: Labor, Swedish, Bull Moose, Every Little, Money, and Little Egypt's. PROBABLY a swimming party. Note: it reads "shirt": Mrs. Joseph Howbridge and two sons, who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wenzler, have gone to Keystone for a short visit with friends. Society column of the Fort Wayne New. IS it possible that the use of the bandana kerchief as the emblem for the third party is nothing mora than a sop

to the 'Porter county natives? NICARAGUA, Juarez, Tripoli and Chicago continue as the tempest spots while Mt. Vesuvius, Battleaxe Castleman and West Hammond are strangely quiescent. PROBABLY as to John's sox: Miss Kdith StalTeldt Is plying the needle at John Gray's thl3 week. Joliet Herald. THE authoritative and ever-accurate Iron Age also refers to it as "Gary, 111." No wonder we Hooslera get arteriosclerosis. GOOD epitaph for the Bull Moose movement after November 5: "If it is so soon that I am done for, I wonder what I was begun for."

He Joined the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette in 1892. but left the same year to Join the editorial staff of the Westminister Gazette, which now ranks as one of the chief government organs. The appointment of Mr. Spender to the Washington post would mark an Innovation in British diplomacy, since he has had no training In the diplomatic service.

District Attorney Whitman. Many men prominent in New York affairs will emerge from the Rosenthal murder scandal with blackened reputations. Not 60 District Attorney Whitman. Almost from the hour Rosenthal was murdered the district attorney has been working day and night in an feltort to run down the murderers, and to get the men "higher up." He has received but little encour. agement from the mayor and police department of New York City, and a, less able or less persistent man wouli have been discouraged. His efforti have been crowned with unusual su?ess, however, and after he has procured tbe conviction of Rosenthal's murderers he will doubtless play a large part In cleaning up the police department of New York.
