A LESSON TO YOUTH..

l ne pool room and pokr evil at Crown Point has at last been respon

sible for public revelation of crime.

A young man has fallen. How many

private revelations of crime and how much secret misery they have caused

the Lord only knows.

it is hard for a youth in a 5m a 'J town to find amustment. There is a

leisure there, h certain amount of

time that falls heavily on his hands not found in larger cities and he seeks entertainment and diversion alon.a: the lines of least resistance. Where does he find it? Where else but in the saloon or the pno! room. It was the gaming room that caused the down-fall of this Crown Point young man. H played poker. The proprietor of the establibhnient played. It is widely reported that the patne was not. always on the square. Sometimes the young; man won more often he lost. It i3 always the latter way. Then the need of money, the highway, the gun. the holdup. These things always have a sequence follow ins in natural order. There was one holdup that didn't pan out right. Now the young man and bin fami

ly are disgraced, the gaming keeper

in the toils. It has been a matter of common

Knowledge in crown j'omt lor years that there was gaming going on :n

thr' pool rooms.

Why then, people ask did the authorities of the city not put it. out

of business? Why indeed?

TAFT WAVE. Report? of a change in favor of Taft continue to come into republican headq-iarters from all part? of the country. Already this naper has published a number of those thai, have come to the western headquarters at Chicago. In Lake County the same conditions obtain and throughout Indiana. The east tells a similar story. In accord with this the NewYork Tribune publishes the following: "Letters of an enthusiaastic; and reassuring cliaracU r h;vo hrn pouriuar into repabllcnti national headquarters during the last few days, hrir.glng from individual republicans oil over the country a.Hfuranci'S of a n;i tion-wtdf swintf ot sentiment to Prc-adi nt Taft and the Vitrio is republic.-! n state ticket". 'Chairman HilN s siid yesterday that th-- lett"-s written not for publication, but for thu puirlance nd information of the republican national committee, confirmed the reports that the 'Taft wave' was unmistakr Me, that the Tloocpvelt 'bubble' I ad b"cn punctured, and that a? between a republican and a

democrat I cadrniniKtrfltlnn for the next four years the voters have determined to atand by thp republican party and prosper! t y."

comes up to you in a receptive atti

or to vote for you.

A. J. BEVERIDGE is giving Indiana peop.e many things to thir.k about says an exchange. Yes and Indiana people are giving P.everidge a few things to think about too.

THE COSEUFT FFvACTICES ACT. Everybody remembers how the Indianapolis News campaigned against the naturalization of foreigners, especially in Lake County. Hilly Hlodgett was sent up here to view the situation at Its worst and he did. He told how 2. SCO new citizens were made in Lake County's naturalzation mill in one campaign. He laid the blame at. the door of the republican party although the democrats were just as bad. And then Ed Simons contested an election on the grounds that the republicans had naturalized bo many voters illegally that he had been deprived of the office for which he ran. The case was tried, leaders of both political parties testified in court at Crown Point. Pdadgett kept viewing the situation at its worst. lie believed most of the stories that were told by the beaten and disgruntled democrats. He listened to their excuses for getting one of the worst wallopings that had. ever been administered to them in Lake county. The attention of the whole state was called to "conditions" in Lake county and the "methods" that were used by republicans. A democratic governor and legislature had been appointed and the democrats thought

their opportunity had come to put a

crimp in the "strong arm" methods

of the republicans in Lake county. The whole crusade finally petered out. Hlodgett and even the demo

crats in the legislature had to admit that nothing had been done in Lake

county that vras not sanctioned by

the laws of the state and nation.

The agitation did lead to the enactment of a corrupt practices act which was designed to curb the republicans

in their handling of the foreign vote

in the state.

P.ut the inefficiency of this act is

already being demonstrated. Five hundred and fifteen foreigners have been naturalized in Lake county in

the past month or two; most of whom have been inspired to get their papers

by republican and democratic polltl cal leaders.

Prosecution of the republicans

would make necessary the proseeu

tlon of the democrats and so the "first voters" will be almost as numerous

this year as before.

if the democrats had stuck to their

announced intention, to naturalize no voters they might have started something under the corrupt practices act

but Tim Englehart came over and witnessed the naturalization mill working so perfectly that he had them slip in a couple of hundred

"raw material" citizens. The point is that the corrupt prac

tices act has accomplished nothing

along the lines of remedying the alleg

ed abuses which grew out of whole

sale naturalizations. If the demo

crats and republicans had got busy a

little sooner the number of citizens naturalized would have been as large as ever. Mr. niodpett ought to come back to Lake county and write some more

dope on naturalizations under the corrupt practices act. He would find conditions about as they were when he started his crusade several years ago. HI Johnson Is coming back to Indiana. Let him cornel The more he comes and the more he talks, the more votes Mr. Taft will get.

FROCKS AS VOTE GKTTKUS.

Editor Times: Chicago, Oct. 10.

The. editorial under this title, appear-

lnK in your paper a few days ago, ap

proved the reply of Mrs. Oscar Straus to an interviewer, that her "special activity was clothes."

The writer takes the stand that, to

Kain a hearinn from "man, the vain animal," her most important preparation must be "a stunuintr hat." Men who.-e

influence i worth graining, have perceptions above and beyond ihir.Ziinfi rainment. And woman, in this age of co-education and unprecedented freedom should bo qualified to be of important assistam o to a husband in pub

lic life, by noble and more edifyins

means that mere drv aroous.

Now 1 am a woman and love pretty

clothes, but if 1 were In the liine-liht

with Mrs. Straus it seems it would be such a rich and rare opportunity t" try to elevate other women to higher sta nda rds.

A woman in a high place announcing

the fact that her "chief activity i.-i

clothes" is demoralizing to women not fo stror.? and influential. To appear

well-dresse.l, at a moderate expenditure

of money, time and brain-fag, is essen

tial to both men and women. P.ut to

the thinkinar woman, tho shameless

waste of money, vvrunpr from arduously

toiling husbands, to say nothing of tlia unspeakably pernicious effect upon less

fortunate women, is today, largely thf?

sourre of immorality.

Instead of sue-sresting to woman that

her fundamental function In life sho-cf-1 be porgeoua gowning, let her rather personify In her own life that to hn

fire. Is not to h flashy to select the

good rather than the gorgeous that to

be conservative is more Intelligent than to be conspicuous ;anl to lead to tho

more helpful ornaments of womanhood.

Women seem to have subordinated

every interest in life to this tinnrodue..

tive use of money. The dry coods man and mlMners mar. wth Jmmmitv. cliarere

ten times over what their wares ara worth, because women have jrone mar with vanity. Their eagerness to out-

dress each other has put a strain upon

their nerves almost to the point of hysteria. Their absortion in tho race after changing: styles has warped their, otherwise possibly, no souls. Po let us hope Mrs. Straus did not finite mean what is reported of bet. That instead, she Is a strong:, intellectual, big-soule.l woman, to whom, we Ameri'-an women may point with pride, and whose interests are of a nature to redound to the pod of her sex. II. I

HAMMOND bull mooser says the assistant democratic ticket will p.jll 11.000 votes in Lake County. Well, these sweet illusions will die a violent death November f.

MAN'S UFS AND D0W1TS. Strange story comes from Louisville of the rejection of a candidate fur enlistment in the United States

KING TOM'S D3AG00NS. We don't .see why the great powers don't take more notice of hizzoner, Tom Knott? I, alcade of Gary. Here there is a war breaking out in the Balkans and 3,20 reservists, all trained fighting men ,are ready to leave Gary for the theatre of action. Thirty-two hundred fighting men is

a great deal more than the standing army of Madasgascar, any South American bmana republic, the principality of Monaco, the Swiss republic, and the free state of Panama. Very few potenates can send three regiments to a Balkan war yet Tom

Knotts can. We advise Tom Marshall. the

grand mogul of the state, to go a little blow on the rajah of Gary. His fighting reservists are a few hundred more than the entire National Guard of Indiana. In the menatime let's hope that the chancelleries of Europe will stave off the threatened clothesline racket up in the Balkans peaks or else persuade the bantam kingdoms that it's no -use to start fighting until the snow melts in the spring for . if Kins Knotts' 3.200 reservists clear out of Gary there will be a big hole knocked in the November election and the steel city caliph will be at the mercy

REMEMP.ER that you will never will be judged in this world by what you might have been but what you have been.

AND Nicaragua -but why should we borrow more trouble? Haven't we enough?

SMOOTHING THE FUR. It must be refreshing to the pepull of Gary to note that their two Utile pet prizes, the Gary Post and the Gary Tribune, after caterwauling around and engaging in hair-pulling and wrist-slapping matches for several semesters, have evidently signed an entente cordiale. Last night the Post, advised any

one to buy a Tribune in case they do

not like the former. Lord help us

Yet for this we are almost moved to tears as big as walnuts and we anxiously wait for the old lady to forgive the Post for referring to the Elbert Gary's company as the "rteel trust." Surely thee lese majeste cracks should be forgiven now.

tut: m i. i, moose r the trfsts. To the Editor: Sir. The plan that tLe Progressive party proposes as to the trusts Is a license for every corporation in the United states. This would require an army of secret service men and inspectors. It would tend to build up the Kreatest political machine the world ha ever known and give the president power to perpetuate himself in office until nothing; short of revolution could dislodge him. We see: the tiso of fed

eral officers today influencing the nominations of prsldents, but how much worse would it be should this theory become a law? The danger is apparent. Roosevelt is planning to perpetuate himself in the presidency by posing as the great saviour of the people and crying "t hieves." " robbers." hypocrites," and a "wHrn ing every one to th Ananias club who dares to differ with him. "Thou shalt not steal." and yet tie is being backed by two of the greatest corporation officers in the Vnlted States and by some of the most disreputable political bosses known to this country. Has he ever denied that he would nor have accepted the nomination at Chicago, on the platform Taft is running on. had he been able to get iV? If it was not a selfish desite on his part to obtain the, nomination why did lie not throw his strength to some other better man and save the Republican party Rut no sooner was lie beaten than he decided to wreck the party that gave him ail he ever had at once started the cry of thieves and robters, and today be is Koing up and down the country branding every nno wearing a Taft button as a thief and not fit to accociate with decent men. There never was a bigcer political

theft planned than he and his cohorts planned at the Chicago convention when they contested nearly two hundred and fifty seats, and when taken to the floor of the convention, admitted there were only seventy-two that had any right to contest. "Onward Christian Soldiers!" He. ye not deceived. This man elected to the presidency would mean the overthrow of our government by changing the principles on which tt was founded and the end would be discord and revolution. X.
