WEST HAMMOND. If you ever saw a South American condor on his native heath fight another for a piece of putrid flesh you may have , some idea of the persistency with' which the lecherous resort-keepers of West Hammond fight reform. Do you suppose they are going to give up easily after a quarter of a century leeway in vice? . Not so that you can notice it. They will fight to the death, "
The forces that are trying to redeem West Hammond cannot afford to be idle a minute. It is a death grapple. Every man, woman and child in West Hammond should jot it down Bomewhere that now is the time to oust the unspeakable dens across the state line; to purge the city of the blight of Whiskey Row! If the reform forces quit now, they might as well never attempt to try another battle against inquity. In the tuneful opera "Wang" sang over a decade ago there was a bit of philosophy that West Hammond ought to think over. "So what we need Is a long pull And what we need Is a strong pull A pull that's all together. Not losing our ship Nor giving up the ship ' But preserving a Phenomenally rigid upper lip We will give our preternaturally Fiendish foes the slip And all our dangers weather."
GOV. Wilson's girls are doing all they can to land dad in the White House, and enjoy the excitement of the campaign. President Taft's children are all in Yellowstone Park, not worrying about dad in the least. They know he's O. K.
GRANDDAUGHTER of college president acquired notoriety by learning to cook before she was married. Much better however thanto learn after and get no notoriety.
HUMANITY. Efforts to suppress cruelty to animals seem to indicate that the various societies in 6uch work afe successful only when they are backed by law and special officers. Their work is unquestionably goodut the best they can' do is to attend to the cases here and there that are brought to their attenion. This is not strange, for it was only a few hundred years ago that criminals were executed by torture and every itaan on earth, it appeared, had taken part in some war or other. Barbarity was quite the thing. All this has changed and solely because there has been a growing sentiment against the horrible. This sentiment never became general until education became general. Slavery has passed from all civilized nations and learned men doubt if there will ever be another great war. , But what efforts are being made o systematically spread humane educa-

YESTERDAY. It Is not far to Yesterday, ' And there we turn our eyes To where the good, glad memories In pleasing pictures rise. The faded roses of today Grow red and rich with dew. And where gray clouds are spreading now We see the skies of blue. Just down the way Is Yesterday There sunshine always beams; Today we close our eyes and see Our Yesterday In dreams; Today we hear the long-dead song. And now we understand Its cadence, and know why It made Our Yesterday all grand. A little way to Yesterday Today may have its fears. Yet Yesterday is filled with smiles, Tomorrow has Its tears Today tomorrow What of them. When we can find the way That leads us to the golden land The land of Yesterday? It is not far to Yesterday. With glamour of the rose; With haunting echo of the song That thrilled us to the close. Tomorrow and Today will lose Their darkness and their gloom, And each will soon be Yesterday, With melody and bloom. W. D. Nesblt, In Chicago Post.
tion as applied to animals? At heart man is a savage, and it has been slow work Ko reclaim him from the dark ages. The habits of this generation probably will not be changed whfle any of us are living. The opportunity lies In the coming men and women. There should be a part of the day devoted to teaching kindness to animals in every school in the country. Humane societies should organize as State bodies and work for drastic legislation to punish offenders. Meanwhile the process of education would develop a generation in which cruelty and neglect would be unknown to any great degree. It will take a long campaign, but it can be done. Some day, let us hope, animals will be treated with the same consideration for their comfort as is now extended to human beings.
F. R, L. wonders why ,w don't take credit for the cleaning up of the West , Hammond dives. Oh there's glory enough as long as we know who

GOLF is said o have originated
among the goat herds of Italy before
the Christian era. Perhaps that is where the idea of "getting the goat"
originated.
THE GARB THEY WEAR. The crusade against the indecent garb worn by some young women is growing stronger and stronger. Press and pulpit continue to Inveigh against it. "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to man, nor man that of woman, for it is an abomination unto the Lord. Taking the above as his text Rev. Frank C Eruner. D. D., of . Chicago, preached a sermon at the Ogden Park Methodist Episcopal Church last night In which ho severely criticised women who assume mannish attire. In course of his remarks he sought to explain certain fashions as follows: "The habit of dress," he said, "Is to catch attention. Humanity of the fair sex is spectacular. The apearahce of anyone In male raiment attracts attention. Consequently girls may often be seen donning waistcoats, neckties and hats of the oposlte sex. "In our time the breaking away from the distinction between men and women Is stark madness. The girls who have not been taught to appear properly are In peril of losing all that Is true and lovely."
Dr. G. L. Morrell of the People's
Church in Minneapolis said with
crushing force in the pulpit yester
day : " - "The first short skirt was made In the Garden of Eden from fig leaves because there were no Parisian dressmakers. Skirt styles today are going back to the original fig leaf fashion. Mother Eve ate the apple, became 'wise, and her first thought was of a dress, and that is about all some of her daughters have thought of since. All that some women have is their clothes, and were you to steal them they would lose the only valuable thing they possess. Some women are as long In dressing as Caesar wa in marshalling his army. They go to church to show their clothes, spend more money for their backs than for Bibles and then strut home like peaeocks. "Skirts now are .meager as a mummy and docked like a horse's tail. There are men in hell who owe their damlnation in time and eternity to the skirts of some bad. beautiful woman."
Last Sunday Rev." Father "Barrett
of All Saints church in Hammond at
tacked the present mode of garb used by some young, women in Hammond and warned his congregation of the
evils attached thereto.
DRUG FIENDS UNAWARES. Few men who use tobacco realize
that they are in the grasp of a habit which is almost as hard to discontinue as the use of opium or morphine. Tobacco, of course, is in no manner as deadly to health and moral fibre as powerful narcotics or stimulants, but it is just as tenacious. Smokers seldom break eff the use of
tobacco. A man says he will Btop us
ing cigarettes, which usually means that he will stop buying them and de
pend on his friends to supply him.
Chewing gum or peppermint drops
often suggested as an aid to the will are of little comfort. The odor of a good cigar will make any man without an iron will forget his determina
tion to quit smoking. Fortunately the habit is no nearly aa detrimental
as many women suggest.
Said a German comedian, "Ciga
rettes are very bad."
"I don't know,'; a friend replied.
"My grandfather is ninety years old.
He smoked them since he was seven."
"Well," answered the skeptic,
"they'll get him in time."
IT makes people outside of New
York titter. A police lieutenant is pub
licly defended by Gaynor the democratic mayor now indicted for murder. '
YOUNG bride Is suing for divorce
because her husband won't talk. Gee why doesn't she realize what a golden opportunity she has to do all the
talking.
WE HAVE CULTURE NOW. The enterprise of the air line ln-
terurban people In putting Valparaiso and other neighboring towns on the trolley map, thus making them a part of the great industrial Calumet region suggests that we have overlooked something. Valpo is the hub
of learning of the extended region,
the seat of the classics, the Boston,
the Athens, the Oxford of these smoky climes. All hail to Valpo the
latest city which the trolley brings
Into the region! Besides our steel
mills we now have with us a college
that is only outnumbered In students by -staid old Harvard. We house America's second largest university!
And who would have thought it?
Look .what we have done in the last
few years. Country clubs at Gary,
LaPorte and Hammond; millionaires
at Gary getting divorced and taking
new wire faster'than they do at Pittsburg; affinities at Crown Point
and our very women whlllng away
money and time at bridge whist.
THE honey crop is said to be very
short this year. Perhaps that explains the reason for some of these presidential campaign amenities.

DOWN WITH FARM DRUDGERY.
Years ago when prices were low it
was often necessary for the farmer and all his family to work early and
late to make a living and pay the
mortgage. But with better farming
methods and Increasing prices that necessity Is passing says Collier's Weekly. The farmer and his family must be able to earn a good profit on ten or twelve hours a day. . The time has passed when intelligent, ambitious people will be content, even under the favorable conditions of the great outdoors, to labor sixteen or eighteen hours a day merely to earn a living. Women are not allowed to work in stores and factories more than eight or nine hours; but often
on the farm they work sixteen or
eighteen. The economic condition that compelled drudgery on the farm must pass, and then the new farm management must teach people how to live on the farm as well as how to raise crops.

BULL Moose party's appeal for funds sounds like an exhortation from the pulpit on Home Mission Sunday.
GETTING KNOWN AS SQUEALER. We are always amused when the third termer squeals because the papers knock him and treat him unfairly. If there is any man in this world who ever treated people, especially former friends, unfairly and went to the limit of billingsgate and dastardly phrase to crush those who didn't agree with him, that man is the Bull Moose. Now whenever anybody says anything In the slightest degree derogatory to him, he shouts
HONESTLY there were some who thought that the Schlesinger plant was also a mirage.
eart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
THE BETTER WAY. "English Jack" Is dead. And thereby hangs a real romance. "English Jack," known as the Crawford hermit, lived back In the woods of north Conway, where he had many visitors and no confidants, and the story of his life has been revealed since his death. He was born in London, where be was left an orphan when a small boy. He became- a street urchin, living on the town. One day while wandering about he encountered a little maid of flTe years who had lost her rather. He belped the girl to find her home, and that day was a red letter day for him. Mary's father, named Slmmonds. adopted Jack, and from that time he had a home. Slmmonds was a ship master and found a place for Jack on board his ship. At the close of each voyage he made his borne with Mary and ber father. It was natural that he and Mary should grow to love each other, and It was agreed previous to his last voyage that the two should marry on his return. But, alasl He was gone a little more than a year, and on his return when he went to the school where he had placed her be found that Mary had died. His heart was broken. Turning bis back upon the world, he spent the remaining thirty-six years of his life in aimless, hopeless solitude lie built a shack one story and a half, the ground floor serving as sitting room and kitchen, from which a ladder took him up Into a bare garret, where he slept. 1 There be lived bis life, lonely and desolate to the end. And the lesson of the tragedy? While there Is a touch of tendernest in the sad story, one may well deprecate such a withdrawal from the world of men. How much better to have enshrined the memory of his loved and lost and gone on Working and helping and smiling to the end I There is no place in this busy world for a hermitage. The time is past " when men could hope to forget a sorrow or atone a sin by living the solitary life. Atonement is by way of helpfulness. Forgetfulness of sorrow is by way of forgetfulness of self.

MEDICAL colleges have been improved, cites an exchange. May be true, but the graduates haven't. SENATE has decided not to allow Mr. Lorimer any expenses. This sets a good precendent. Who knows if the senate had done otherwise that some politician would buy his way Into that august body for $30,000 and then after getting ousted Indignantly demand $100,000 expenses. GEE whizz. Read in our new set of Americans last night that Ecuador has had eleven constitutions since 1827. T, R. ought to scoot down there. IF a fellow thinks a girl is pretty even she has the hay fever she should have no hesitancy in accepting him when he pops the question. He loves her. GOVERNMENT statisticians say that per capita cost of laundry in the U. S. is $1.25 a year. Holy smoke, the bill for our shirts, clolars, B. V. D.'s sox, wash ties, and nighties for last week alone amounted to $1.62. Some new statisticians ought to be hired. AS it Is some of the queer things in the progressive party denials and counter accusations suggests that some one drinks something stronger than old Doc Abbott's buttermilk now and then. G. McG. We don't know where they keep the local bull moose, but we suppose It Is at the Gary city hall. IT appears that every time somebody accuses T. R. of being mixed in something he is always there with an affidavit and alibi denying it. , . TO show you how things have changed lately we might mention that down at Lowell the theatrical season opened up with that spicy play, "The Girl From Rectors," whereas South Chicago natives witnessed "The Parish Priest." Wonder If things shouldn't have been reversed? TEN years ago a kid was satisfied with a $13 safety, now pa has to come across with $175 for a motorcycle. . "THERE seems to be an epidemic of Insanity in Indiana Harbor Just now." From Thh Times. Probably due to the cement dust and activities on the part of a lot of natives trying to figure out why the Knotts brothers took possesson of the bull moose party in Lake county.i

WE wrote it that "When the Schlesinger steel works gets all built up the men will work in night shifts." As the proofreader, thinking about Sunday's doing, passed it out as "night shirts." "NEW YORK CLOSED TO JOHNSON." Headline. Tes and the county commissioners ought to see to it that the big insolent black buck doesn't do any more speeding on our roads, . SEEMS to us that there will be a lot of oily testimony and denials in this Archbold-Roosevelt contribution probe. CONGRESS has adjourned. Now If some one could only put a gag on the Hon. Al. Beveridge, High Assessments Bill Flinn, and the Chicago Tribune we might have a pleasant autumn. AS it is the Hammond ity council spends too little and the Gary city council spends too much. THERE is no truth in the Chinese cables that Dr. Sun has set.
