WHAT IT REALLY IS.

We dislike to call attention to it

but what was billed far and wide as

a stand at Armageddon and a battle for the Lord has turned out to be just a common or garden variety of dog

fight.

SOCIAL REFORM.

If the owners of disorderly houses could be effectively reached by law,

white slavery would find it hard to

exist and the social evil in general -would receive a vital blow. This is

just what has been accomplished by

the injunction and abatement law initiated by the state of Iowa. Note

some of its advantages over criminal

proceedings. Any citizen can insti

tute action against such a public

nuisance. If the offender is acquit ted on action for temporary injunc

tion, he can be tried over again for

the same offense for a permanent injunction, and, if again acquitted, the

Supreme Court can be appealed to for

review of the evidence and the penalty entered there. In the succes

sive nuisance injunctions, too, subse

quent violations may be introduce!

as evidence, whereas in a criminal

proceeding this may not be done

The general reputation of a place is

aiso accepted as evidence.- "it you are able to establish the existence of

the nuisance," said John 15. Ham

mond, before the Sixth International

Purity Congress, "the court shall, not

may, permanently enjoin the occu pant, the Inmates, the property own

ers and the property itself, and abate the nuisance by confiscating the

furniture, closing the building and

placing a lien of $300 against the property, to be collected in the same

way as taxes are collected." Leslie'

Weekly. ;

STATE Chairman Hotchkiss sa;

that there should not be over 2,000

words in a bull moose platform

Great Scott, in the big bull moose

platform there are almost that manv

"I's" alone.

THOMAS Edison worked 122 hours

out of 144 to perfect the phonograph

The result showed that he failed at night to close the windo'v looking

on the fence where the cat3 roosted

ed as something of an outlet to the

suburbs for New York's population but transportation by street car was

slow and the radius of suburban de

velopmcnt was only slightly ex

tended.

The "tube" was built. Passengers

were picked tip in the heart of New

York and in a few brief minutes they

were taken in electric underground trains to the subuibs. A few minutes

more and they were far from Broad

way and out where land was cheaper.

The result was that in the space of few years great cities were built

along the line of the "tube." The

development was the most marvelous

that New York has ever known. And

that development is still going on.

Now Chicago's subway will prob

ably be built, partly at least, out of

the cities share of the earnings of its surface lines. There may be some

private capital added to it.

The subway at present Is planned

only to be built as far south as Sev

enty-nlnth street on Cottage Grove avenue. The Hammond Chamber of Commerce should point out to the

proper officials that Hammond is the

gateway to tbe grent Calumet region;

that this region i3 experiencing the

most remarkable industrial develop

ment that Indiana has ever known

that there will be a million people

living in Lake County in twenty

ears ana mat any subway system

that is planned for Chicago can not

ignore these facts.

ine subway should be built to

Hammond and thence straight west

to wary, wnue these suggestions

may not bear fruit now it will e

well for the citizens of Hammond and

Gary to make themselves heard on

this proposition. The idea of th.i

great future of the Calumet region

should be inculcated in the minds of the great financiers of Chicago until

they will not be able to leave this region out of their plans In the future.

for chewing up a block of wood. That's right, how are we going to get

up our wood resources?

JOHNSON A CUR. We have had occasion several times to refer to the raucous, loudmouthed notoriety seeker by name Johnson who is running sexond with Roosevelt on the bull moose ticket. Here is his latest effusion r "It Is with shame, as an American citizen, that I day that today the most humiliating; character In all American history Is the president of the I'nited States." When this fellow Johnson puts President Taft, an honest respected executive whom Johnson's own superior, Roosevelt two years ago called a "noble, able and upright president," lower than Benedict Arnold we have our opinion of the smug little cur who dreams of being vice president.

PROSPECT ENCOURAGING. Henry Clews says that advices

from the west and middle west are

increasingly encouraging." In the

course of this week's business resume he says: "Bank clearings for August

show a gain of over nine per cent compared with last year. Mercantile

houses with scarcely an exception report an active demand by consumers

for both necessities and luxuries. Railroad earnings also .testify to trade expansion, 37 roads reporting for the third week of August an in

crease of eight ,per cent over last

year. Better results should come later. Importations continue very seavy; the Increases being in raw materials for American manufactures and also in articles of luxury, euch as

precious stones, etc. The dry goods

trade at the Interior is unusually active, and jobbers report a satisfactory distribution in all classes of clothing, both cotton and woolen."

MEXICO complains that the Unit

ed States has not given it a square

deal. But if it had, Mexico would

now be eating its meals oft a mantel.

standing up.

PRESIDENT Taft's inability to play golf because something ails his hock puts him in the class of some members of the Hammond Country Club.

S. WELL we concede that the "Ohio idee" touching woman suffrage

Is quite correct.

GOODBYE summer here's your hat.

A MACHINE has been invented for

the washing of bank notes. Now the debtor can suavely tell the importunate collector that his money hasn't come home from the laundry.

THE men whose pocket was robbed

LET'S PULL FOR THE ' TUBE."

New York City had become dread

fully congested in population. Land values soared, skyscrapers climbed

higher, the restricted area of Man

hattan made it appear that the time must come when the great flood of

population would have to cross to the mainland. Brooklyn bridge was built and resulted in development of Brooklyn which was afterwards made a part of ' greater New York." Other bridges were built subsequently but the population of New York continued to become more dense. Then the "tube" was planned. The bridges over East River had serv-

HE IS NOT GUILTY. The Gary police are holding E. J. Niver, 52 years old, a father himself, as a suspect in the murder of little five-year-old Mary Grubba. They

ought to release him at once.

Basis for arresting Niver was occasioned by the fact that he used to live near the Grubba house and knew the child. He long ago took a fancy to the crippled tot and frequently came to her home and played with her and gave her small presents. The chances are that he often gave hi? little friend candy and money on the streets and may have often taken her for a ride or to a store to buy her ice cream. That he had an affectionate interest in the little one was known to the parents and was tolerated by them. Such friendships be tween men, whether they are old bachelors or men who have had chil

dren are not uncommon. The love ci

small children is a common trait. It may have been possible that Niver met his little friend on the day she disappeared, ir so It has turned out to be an unfortunate circumstance for him as there is some slight evidence that he did. But Niver never killed little Mary Grubba. Everything goes to show that he sympathized with the little I cripple and being alone in the city

ANOTHER PACE THAT KILLS.

The life Insurance business is not a "gamble." Its "risks," considered in j bulk, are not risks at all. They aro: based on cold, hard rules obtained as1 the result of many years' close and comprehensive study of morality records. So, in cases where life insurance companies refuse to issue policies, there are good reasons for it. The national association of life insurance men met in Chicago, last week. One of the most Interesting subjects it considered was the increasing desirability of women as insurance risks. It is estimated that there are about 6,000,000 women earning their living in this country, many of them with other dependent on them for support. The insurance companies are gradually including them In their field of operation?. But this is what one of the most eminent insurance authorities said during the convention: "Women who live the so-called high life have a hard time getting insurance on their lives. Companies do not want to take them. They eat such indigestible foods, drink so many harmful beveridges and so weaken their vitality by an artificial way of living that they go the quick route to the grave."

Denunciation, ridicule and argument have in vain assailed the mode

of life followed by many of the Idle

rich and the ultra-fashionable. Nevertheless, high society ha3 gone se

renely and gaily on its way. But here, at last, is something which may well make it pause. The verdict of the life Insurance actuaries is a warning so grim that it can no lightly be disregarded.

IT does seem a trifle spiteful when an ex-wlfe procures her ex-husband's arrest on nonsupport charges just in time to interfere with his wedding.

Till" newspaper writer that sprung the West Hammond story about the "Mack bottle," the "twenty murders" and the "death tunnel" ought to be writing for the Nick Carter Weekly. DESPITE the hot weather the -e teemed Elkhart Review continues to get fussed up over politics and it hurls such Mack pots as "loan shark," "sewer for spleen" and "egregious ass" at its opponents. IT Is to laugh when one reads that Tom Honan, tha attorney general, is going to immolate Brother A. F. Knotts' Porter race track. It was Brother Honan, who raised so much smokeless smoke In 1910 when Gary was afflicted with the blind pig habit. Honan ought to try some other form of Joking. IT'S a down right shame that those grass-eating worms appeared the same time that the Gary park board did. And to think that the worms got more newspaper space.

REMARKABLE FUNERAL TAKES PLACE IN JAPAN TODAY

Toklo. Sept. 12. After six weeks of,

mourning, which have given rise to demonstrations of patriotism almost without parallel in the history of Japan, the funeral ceremony of the Emperor Mutsuhito, who died on July

30, will be celebrated tomorrow even

ing on the Aoyama parade ground.

The interment will follow at Motoyama Kyoto, where an estate has betin purchased by the imperial household as the site of the Imperial mausoleum.

Tomorrow's ohse.quies will be a

magnificent tribute from the people of Japan and the powers of the world to

the memory of the late tmperor. It will be the most numerous assem

blage of eminent representatives of foreign rulers ever brought together

in this country. The United btates has

sent Philander Knox, secretary of state, the .sending of whom on such a mission is understood to be without precedent in the history of the great American republic. That Japan fully

appreciates the unusual courtesy has been evidenced by the marked cordiality with which Secretary Knox and his party have been everywhere received since their arrival in the country. Two other foreign envoys of note have shared equally with Secretary Knox as the recipients of official courtesy and public attention. They are Frlrice Arthur of Connaught, representing King George of Great Britain, and Prince Henry of Prussia, representing the German emperor. Neither Prince Arthur nor Prince Henry is a stranger to Japan. The former was sent here several years ago by the late King Edward to bestow the insignia of the Order of the Garter upon the mperor Mutsuhito, while Prince Henry of Prussia has twice visited Japan In his capacity as an officer of the Germany navy. In addition to those named the foreign envoys Include distinguished representatives of the Czar of Russia, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, the

King of Italy, the King of Spain and the president of the French republic. The foreign envoys, as well as all other participants In the funeral procession, will march on foot. Cariages will be used only to convey the empress, the dowager empress and the princesses of the blood. Tokio's millions and great crowds of visitors from the provinces will line the route of the procession, whfch will start from the main entrance of thepalace and proceed by way of the new road, thence to the right along the moat, through .Vchisaiwalcho and thence through Omote-machl street and Into the parade ground. where a large, building has been especially constructed In which to hold the funeral services. The order of the funeral preeesslon will be as follows: Imperial Body Guards. Mounted Police. In Modern Dress. Representatives of the Old Feudal

Nobility. Spearmen In Ancient Costumes. Musicians Tlaylng on Native Instruments. Priests Carrying Mortuary and Other Emblems snd Priests Carrying Offerings of Food, to Be Presented at the Grave of the Emperor A Solitary Mourner Attired as a Pilgrim, Bearing a Pair of High Wooden Shoes for the Weary Feet of the Emperor on His Last Long Journey. Imperiar Princes Dressed In the Old Mourning Garb of Japan. Shinto Trlests In White Robes. Funeral Car, Drawn by fi White Oxen. Officers of the Court. Favorite Horses of the Emperor.
