We sometimes wonder If the girls who ride on the rear seats of motor cycles with men stop to think what a spectacle they are making ot themselver and what other people must think of them. What must a mother be doing who lets her daughter ride in this manner? A girl who will straddle a wheel with her dresses over her knees, her hair dishevelled going 30 to 50 miles an hour hang ing on to some man isn't a very edi fying spectacle. Constant danger to life or limb at tends riding of this sort. And the Intimate way in which a girl has to cling to the driver of the machine isn't one that increases her self-re spect. Of late, we have had a good deal of this double riding and there has been twelve Berious accidents One police chief in this vicinity says that a lot of girls ride with strange men. Cities and towns can regulate this nuisance by ordinance and it ought to be done at once. AN English locomotive built In 1847 is still working there. We had Bupposed that all the old engines built at that time were employed In the Erie yards at Hammond, so as to be in keeping with the Noah's Ark used as a depot. THE poor tobacco trust which wa3 knocked into a cocked hat by the courts has just declared a 20 per cen dividend. Wish somebody would knock us Into a couple o! cocked hats. ST. ARMANIS' EPISTLE. From now on all local Bull Moosers In good standing will make the T. R. confession of faith or get out. Confessions may be made to Prophet Bill Cain, the local Bill Fllnn of the cult. - Anyone protesting against high assessments, praising the dictagraph, or not standing for a third county ticket shall be expelled into the outer darkness. The doubly-shrived shall attain Armageddon and Btock in the Mineral Springs race track association upon the payment of the usual price. The chiefs of the Bull Moosers shall appoint wise men, who shall be annolnted to battle for the Lord, and who shall see to it that all subscriptions, whether for the cause of right eousness or for 'the racetrack, are dl verted into their proper channels. It is decreed by Mohammed that the Great Rough Rider shall sit once more upon the throne and that Brother A. F. shall sit ln the halls of congress and that Brother Tom shall have another terra maybe.

There uuc uuc ui Luuttiwuuu mere and it is woven around the very clods of the grave. ' The men tell their wives, their wives tea ineir neighbors, tne young men of the town discuss the latest details, girls whisper it to each other, the liveryman tells it to the grocer and the atmosphere is surcharged with scandal. - And as might be expected when these stories are published by word of mouth instead of in the public press, which is held responsible fori what it says, the stories have become I exaggerated or distorted according to the gossips who relate them. The men seem to be just as gossipy as the women. A well known Crown Point man was involved in the scandal by the wilful untruth of another and upon di3coverlnc thel author of the gossip compelled him to send out 100 letters denying the truth of the canard he had circu lated. ine scanaai nas reached the affi- . ... . davit stage. A number of reputable citizens whose names have been drawn into the affair have compelled others to make an affidavit to the effect that they were ln no way compromised. It is safe to say that the moral tone of Crown Point has been reduceu iwenty-nve per cent by the universal circulation of this scandal, the exaggerations of the story and by the scurrilous remarks that it has elicit ed. No man knows when he Is safe or when his name will next be con nected with the affair. The attractiveness of the place as a residential district has been discounted by the fact that no one feels sare from the attacks of scandalmongers. iNO One wants to live in a piace wnere ne is compelled to prom nimseii against baseless slandAnd this calls attention to the fact that small towns often have a lower standard of morality than the larger cities. mat is; there are more scandals, per capita, than in the big cities Decause of the hushing up of V lucdo awnes.

In- the cities of northern Lake county, for Instance, there is a remarkable absence of scandal In social circles. People are too busy with their daily pursuits to bother about scandal. Then too if a scandal breaks out the newspapers publish such facts as the public ia entitled to

have. That eliminates more than the momentary discussion of the matter. It protects citizens whos names should not be draged into the story. It gives no wider publicity to a scandal than the word-of-mouth method and the paper assumes the responsibility for the correctness of the report. People who think they have a grievance against the paper which prints the true facts about some unPleasant episode in which they have become involved may thank their stars that they are not in Crown Point where the papers cannot afford to print the truth but where scores of scandalous stories would be cir culated so grossly exaggerated that great injustice would be done and there would be , no way of fighting back or placing the responsibility for their circulation.

WHERE IT'S REALLY WARM Miss Orah Haight thinks this weather is Just too charming for any thing and wonders why we are all so peevish about it. She says if we could be over at her house, where It gets up to 118 degrees In the shade f0r weeks at a time, we'd know what really hot weather was like.

Right thinking is nee'essarv to make the action good, but no man has vet learned how, by taking thought, to add a cubit to his suture. It is the I action following the thought, that produces the result 1 I And hora U a r,llir t.lnr

There are hundreds of times in the life of almost every man when he fetuses to act for fear the action may force him into further and deeper thought. ' l

"I don't want to ask for informa tion; I am not going to vote; I don't want to ask for more work; I don't want to economize; I don't want to go hear that speech." These are as often expressions of mental coward ice as of physical weariness or lazinesa. The plain fact of the matter is that honest, careful, original thought is one of the rarest things In the world. It is so much easier to do what has always been done by others or not to do any at all. because it re quires mental effort and careful ex ercises of thought to act independently. For these reasons we feel 6ure that thinking readers will at once recognize this deep and important truth: That man refuses to act on account of intellectual cowardice as often a on account of physical dislike. Hence, we have the formula; thought musj,' preced correct action and action must precede service. From this point, SERVICE, radiates everything in the world that is good. BY the way it has been already noted that the bandanna is the proper thing for blow-hards so let it go at that. SAKES alive is nobody going to start a Woodrow Wilson baseball team. WOULD like very much to have the postal card concession at Sea Girt. TODAY'S BEST LAUGH. Forgiving nature and frugality of woman can never be properly esti mated. One acquitted last week. after a long ana bitter trial, on a charge of shooting and attempting to murder her husband did not fail to remember his birthday yesterday. She sent him a postal card. P HEARD BY RUB E INSTEAD of catching fish the natives down at Black Oak aeem to get along famously catching prisoners for the Gary police. UNDERSTAND that out In California those horrid Taft men are planning to keep mice in the polling places when the Heifer Moosles come ln to vote for T. R. GERMS may exist around a lot of phone ear and mouth pieces but they don't live on the Crown Point line. Can't stand for the line of affinity talk that goes over the wires down that way. MAYOR of Richmond got sore at a lady prisoner and raised her bond from a hundred to a million. Richmond Is a Bull Moose center so It Is easy for them to talk in big figures down there. JUST how Bull Moose Al Beverldge is to see that no laborer gets less than 1500 a year remains to be seen. As everybody ln this county gets over that and then lome, we won't see It here. ELECTRICITY will be used as a food later on Bays a scientist. This will be ln the happy day when T. R. and his Progressive platform gets the middleman eliminated. "SOCIETY Scents New Romance.' Headline ln the Examiner. It's a won der that society doesn t scent something else. You scent a good many things reading the Hearst papers. ONE thousand more Turks are dead but thus time the Italians didn't kill them. Press agents and war cor respondents out that way are now us Ing earthquakes. ONE doesn't have to go to college to figure out how the Great I Am Is going to carry out all of those Bull Moose promises. If he gete ln there'll be oldi age pensions for all, no one will have to work more than eight hours a day, all laborers will have autos, there'll be no more floods, hired gins may run for the legislature, the government will be unionized; and there'll be a business agent to see that all rules are adhere to. The pe-pull may oust a judge but not the president; ballots will be shorter but the days longer and hope hold out that the high cost of living will be lessened." In the meantime while beef is going up and while we're all hoptng, the Porter county quartet, will rattle off the old favorite, "Meet me at Armageddon and "Wait till we get the racetrack going honey." NOTE that Governor Marshall is to take care of Doc Wilson's' Maine speaking datea. Perhaps hlaaoner knows from experience that any dry territory is a good place to get a nip when ever you wanted It. The gover nor has had to do with the Gary and Lowell blind piggeries, you know.
