ored by providence," forgetting that providence will favor anybody who AGREES TO HER TERMS, and that with regard to money matters, the terms of providence are atr'.etly cash In advance. The size of your account In the bank of provldenca depends strictly upon the amount and frequency of deposits.

WE trust that arrangements have been made for Mr. Beveridge to carry a dictagraph around with him this trip so he can't get balled up.

THE news that the Hull Moosers have been put fourth on the state ticket will doubtless provide quite a bellow from the big one.

AN APOSTROPHE TO ALBERT ! Albert J. Beveridge must want to be known as the "Boseo, he eats 'em alive" of the present campaign. Old man Waite, one-time governor in the wild and woolly west who was wont to wade up to the. bridle in blood, baa nothing on Mr. Iieveridge. Al said at Tipton on Saturday: I promise you that It I am elected governor of Indiana there will be a housecleaning in tho state from . the river to Lake Michigan, and I know what that means. Do you? Well, U means blood, slaughter and sudden death, for the grafters will give up their hold on the state with

out a fight to the death. I have been in such fights before. Hut I like, fighting. I wouldn't give a cent for a man who hasn't the nerve to fight for the right. "BLOOD! SLAUGHTER! ! AND SUDDEN DEATH!!!" "Ods blood, Mr. Beveridge! In another speech, he speaks of the human hide "reeking with the clotted blood of the victims" to go down to future generations as a picture of tho barbarism of this time. And tomorrow Mr. Beveridge is coming into Iake county again. "Shake not thy gory rocks at us, Albert!" Heaven forbid!" Honestly, there is more blood in one of the present Beverldgean speeches than there was in "Deadwood Dick's Revenge or the Death Rattle of the Prairie Renegade." Mercy on us poor Republicans who fought so hard for Mr. Beveridge two

years ago. ue, wno iook on our

coats and put our shoulders to tho wheel to elect him senator, MERCY!

Poor benighted Republicans who are afraid of bulls loose and sudden

death, and other things.

We hope that Albert will not. make

a Tyburn out of Hammond and Gary

We hope he will not have us poor Re

publicans hanged by the neck;, let

down alive ;our bowels taken out; be

ing alive to be burnt; heads to be cut

Off; bodies to be divided Into four parts; head and quarters to be placed

where the almighty Mr. Beveridge

shall direct.

Ah, would this cruel and gory war

were over; that we might return to

Mary in the vineclad cottage! Go to it, Al, go to it!

And in November we will find that

Winfield S. Durbin will carry Lake county, that Samuel Ralston will be second and you a poor third.

THE BAR ASSOCIATION. The profession of a lawyer is generally misunderstood. Certain ethics govern the acts of those who are true to the lofty conception of the profession. The public does not understand the relations of the lawyer to'hls client are such that it is necessary that the

lawyer have a high conception of his duties. The ethics of the legal profession Is the code of unwritten laws by which practicing attorneys in their relations with their clients are governed. Lawyers are anxious that the public shall understand them better. They are anxious that the general public shall learn to discriminate be

tween the ethical and the inethtcal lawyer. They desire to make ethics its own reward. And in this effort to get closer to the people, to become better understood, the lawyers of Lake county are

seeking the cooperation of the newspapers. They seek to have advertised the open meetings. Such as the one that was held recently, so that the attitude of the public towards them and their profession will be unprejudiced. They propose to have printed the set of rules which, in part, have come to be recognized as good ethics so that the average person will be able to "spot" the shyster when he see3 one. This is commendable and will result In raising the bar of Lake county in the estimation of the people. There is nothing so disnsterous as to be mis

understood and that is what the lawyers of Lake county are trying to avoid. And they are going about it in the right way.

IT MAY BECOME THE STYLE. Now that the fashion has been started, we expect that in November when the Emperor T. Rex I crosses the political Styx, that a lot of oil General Nogis will do junshi or harikari. While many will view it as an act of patriotism and a striking evidence of devotion to the master, there is a suspicion that many committed automatic hari-kari weeks ago when they got into the Armageddon ranks. So, some grey day not many weeks hence we should not be startled If

Generals Flinn, Perkins. Munsey and a host of lesser lights fall ufon their swords. At the present time those who deal with things material are speculating

where the old Jap warrior's soul i

went. We suppose that the haven of the November hari-karists will be in that sweet realm of invisible government that Prince Al Beveridge so ardently chimes about.

NO won;:fr that readers of Chloflgo newspapers . pet cholera morbus. Speaking of the drowning accident at 1fike Lluff the 'steemed Examiner yesterday said that "Six sailors boys drown"; the 'steemed Tribune had it that "Five boys drown at naval station": the 'steemed Record -Hera Id printed that "Ten lose lives as naval boat sinks." and the 'steemed InterOeoan quietly announced that "Thirteen Naval Recruits Drown."

hurry with those statistics so we can

see how things are going to come out ?

A PERTINENT QUESTION. If Governor Durbin Is one of the

bosses, one of the agents of the powers of darkness, one of the impalpable

factors in the invisible government,

as the Star and Starettes claim, why did Senator Beveridge, in fulsome

terms of appreciation, invite Governor Durbtn by letter to go Into the campaign for him in Indiana only two years ago? Why did he praise the

Durbin record on the stump while he, Beveridge, was still a Republican? Why? Muncie Press.

LIKE to see you get all the fun you can otit of the campaign. There are only about six weeks more to get excited In.

MISS Fall, in some glad rags, will be here this week, so will Albert J. Beveridge.

THERE may be a great deal of political activity, but we fall to notice it, and unless somebody wakes up and gets busy, somebody Is going to wake up in November and get left.

THE New York World calls our pet little governor, John R. Marshall. We believe that after all that splurge In Vermont and Maine, Thomas should get a few cards printed snd distributed to persons who don't want to get his name right.

NOT WHAT YOU EARN, BUT SAVE.

It is as great a mistake to judge

a, young man's future bank account

by the slez of his salary as by the

color of his hair. Men are rich, not

by what they EARN, but by what they save. Usually it makes little difference to a young man's future how much he earns. If he has a careful, pru

dent disposition, he will manage to save 50 cents a week if he gets no more than $2 0a month. If he Is a spendthrift, he will not save 2d cents a week out of $2,000 a year. Large salaries often ruin small men. A young man who starts out with brilliant prospects is likely to have such magnificent ideas of hvw to get rich fast that, he thinks it absurd to start in slowly, and eventmlly finds himself at the turning point in middle age, surrounded by the cares of

iamny me, with nothing saved. His new responsibilities add a new burden and his old habits continue to influence him. The trouble is that lis didn't start 20 years before, putting his money at work for him. Money works for its owner whlls he SLEEPS, while he EATS and while he is on his VACATION, tt works for his on SUNDAY, when he is not allowed to work for himself. It works for him WHEN HE !S ILL and for his estate WHEN HE IS DEAD. When he is working in CALIFORNIA his money may be working for him in MAINE and thus doubling his earning capacity. But no man can have money at work for him In this way if he has been improvident. i We speak of men as being "fav-

Old man Fritts ran away from his ;

The mother, went out to work, and Johnny grew up ; with the weed in the town streets. j Whatever mischief might be done by i the boys of the village most of it was laid to Johnny. Often the good wires' lectured their young sons, using John-; ny Fritts as the horrible example of wayward youth. ! Johnny's habits, indeed, were bad enough. lie smoked and chewed and ,

drank and swore, and nobody cared. One night a drug store was burglarized and cigars and whisky and a few stamps taken, whereat the local sleuths, working on the theory like father like son, arrested Johnny Fritts. He was sent to the reformatory on general principles. They did give old man Fritts" son a chance in the reform school, and Johnny became a model. After be had been there a year with a perfect record ha asked for a parole, to which he was entitled. They turned him down chiefly because he was old man Fritts' son. Other boys who hsd committed graver crimes got their paroles on lesser showing. They had a pull. Again, at the end of a second year, with a 100 pr cent showing on conduct, Johnny Fritts asked for his parole, and It was refused. What was the use of being goodT Young Fritts brooded over his unjust treatment find became one of the worst boys in the reform school, and they put him in a little iron cage too narrow to sit down In eight hours at a stretch.
