Each of the leading candidates had friends and supporters on the executive council and the Socialist element were extremely antagonistic to Governor Wilson or the endorsement of any one at this time. This idea prevailed, hut the Federation will prohably issue a statement between now and election time. it is becoming more and more apparent that Governor Wood row Wilson will find it a hard task to explain away to the trades unionists of this country his economic writings on questions that affect labor.

ONLY ONE FROST FEARED. Farmers in this part of Indiana are
hoping that frost will remain away
for a couple of weeks yet. There
are many fields of corn that are late
in ripening, and every delay of a day before frost brings the corn nearer maturity. The weather Indications are that it will warm up somewhat after the middle of this week, and it is likely that there will be no reaction to colder weather for another week. The crop outlook in this county is excellent and with favorable weather there will be more corn in the county this fall than was ever produced in one season before. Columbia City Post. About the only frost the farmers of the country are really paying against is that Democratic Free Trade frost. It would mean a freeze-out in the way of mortgage farms and a curtailment of comforts. The Commercial Mail of that same town happily answers with: A Democratic paper has two arguments, one on "Wil.son's great interest In the farmer." and another, "(iovornor Wilson's love for the workineman."

And now that the awful truth about conditions in West Hammond has been revealed there is hardly anybody, who now rises in defense of them.

The slot machine owner, who fattened on wide open conditions.

LOVE'S TOOTH TEST. There is something neufjinder the sun after all. According to Dr. Jacob S. Wells, of Fargo, X. D., a delegate to the National Dentists' convention in Washington, "young men would do well if they would have their sweethearts' teeth examined be
fore marying them. Girls who have pink tinted teeth make good wives and those with chalky teeth the opposite." Time may come when a young man will not write to his sweetheart, "Send me a photograph," but "Send me a tooth." Suppose we can get used to it, but can't well imagine any one looking Into a pretty girl's mouth like a farmhand trying to guess the age of a horse. Still, the whole thing may be slmplified by the prediction of another dental expert at the convention, who declares we are to become a toothless race, so it may be as well not to discard the old methods of selection entirely.
DR. KEBLEK of Washington adds to the general payety by predicting a
The last word inadvertently omit-toothless race. Well, after having

GOMPERS DEMOCRACY. The executive Council of the American Federation of Labor held a meeting in Washington, D. C, on August 15, among other things to consider the endorsement of political candidates for the presidency. Some of the leading officials of the Federation and many of its organizers had been working hard for the nomination of Charnp Clark on the Democratic ticket. President Gompers and Secretary Morrison, both of whom are Democrats, were much disappointed when Clark, who has always been friendly to the cause of labor, was defeated at the Baltimore convention.

GARY'S COLORED MURDERERS.
i nree colored murderers from
Gary's underworld were arraigned in the Lake superior court at Hammond
yesterday. All of them had killed their victim with a revolver. There
have been other murders by the re
volver route in Gary.
A revolver in the hands of a man
of limited mental capacity is a dan
gerous thing. A moment of passion
of fight a moment of fear and a gun
is whipped out and another murder
occurs.
The city of Gary ought to have an
ordinance making it a serious offense
to carry a revolver. Then the police ought to make it a point to look for concealed weapons on the negroes of Gary.
When he is caught with a gun he
ought to be arrested and fined $2."
to $50 and costs for' the offense. It will then become so apparent to the negro population of Gary that it is dangerous to carry a gun that the
practice, which has become a menace
to the city, will be abandoned.
The situation in Gury is just seri
ous enough to warrant the police 'n searching every negro thev meet for
the next few weeks to ascertain whether or not they are a walking arsena 1.
About the time five or six of thes fellows are arrested and fined for
carrying dangerous. weapons, the cus
tom of carrying shooting irons will disappear.

QUITE COMMON HERE. Congratulations, Crie C. Wiley. After seventeen years of feeding at th-? public pie counter, through the assistance of the Republican party, the distinguished jurist, with tears in Ms eyes and hunger in his stomach, executed a double flip-fop into the Bull Moose camn. and within fortv-eight
hours had been paid off with a nom: nation for congress at Indianapolis, where he is temporarily residing. His distinguished brother. Dr. Harvey Wiley, having jumped on the Wilson band wagon, after a third of a century of office holding as a Republican, is said to have his eye on a place in Professor Wilson's cabinet. You can't lose that Wiley family when it conies to passing out the political provender, says the Muncie press.
But at that it is a very common custom up here. We have a county recorder honored for years by the Republicans, who did one of those flipflops in great style.
PLENTY of reports going around that the Bull Moose in Indiana is not getting any fodder, and that is what makes it so peevish.
