approval of ornamental lights and their disapproval of the action of their aldermen; they might change their attitude. It means just one thing. That is that the present city council is to be wiped off the map if its does not howto the wishes to the people and give them boulevard lights. The opinion was expressed last night that no matter what plan is adopted the cltiens tvzant the lights installed. More installing and less stalling is what this community wants from its councilmen. Only a few of the councilmen were present last night. It is too bad that the entire administration could not have been present.
CLEAN UP JUSTICE COURTS. To nine out of ten of the litigants who are forced into the justice courts in cities of Indiana it is the court of last resort. There is no appeal from justice courts when the defendant does not possess the price of the appeal bond.
For that reason just that as many thrown about the possible. And the take advantage of

who expect him to administer justice is the worst sort of a crook. In the absence of any legal safeguards by which the rights of poor people may be preserved it is time for the Lake County Bar Association to take some action against the lawyers who prey on poverty in these courts. The vigorous prosecution of one of them would make the exploitation of poor helpless people less attractive than it hag been in the past.

LOS Angeles has a school where girls are taught dressing, as a fine art. It ought to have an annex where future husbands can be taught how to hook 'em up.
A WESTERN telegraph manager advertises for "girls with wheels." He ought to find them by going to any moving picture show.
PLEASANT TIMES. The Tafts have invited the Wilsons to spend part of the Christmas holidays at the White House. This is a charming compliment on the part of the president and his wife. The visit ought to be a pleasant one for the Wilsons. There is always pleasure in anticipation Mr. Wilson is now anticipating his forthcoming life at Washington. In realization there is sometimes vexation; but let's hope not.
THE REASON WHY. Hammond, Ind., Nov. 13. Editor Times: By what right have you to suggest who Mayor Smalley should put on the board of public works of Hammond? What business of yours Is It If he appoints Jake Schroeter or not? DEMOCRAT. "Absolutely none," is the answer to both questions put by the curious end ungrammatical democrat. Pereonally it would make no difference to THE TIMES whether Mayor Smalley appointed Jake Schroeter, Pete Bennett or Old Mother Hubbard Who Lived in a Cupboard.
If THE TIMES were a rabid, rancid, partisan republican organ, it would be tickled to death to have the genial mayor cast Jake Schroeter, like bread of old upon the waters. Purely however in the interest of the city, of good citizenship and the common weal this paper wondered why It was necessary to oust a competent man like Adam R. Ebert in order to satisfy the tailor-dictator of State street? Kindly let that soak In.

These philosophical paragraphs are merely preliminary to a mention of the fact that there were scores of people in Hammond who, instead of rejoicing over the fact that the Northwestern Iron Company had located here, declared their solemn belief that it would never build.

THE EDUCATIONAL HERillT. There were in the early days of the Christian religion, men who sought to show loyalty to the cause of heaven by separating themselves entirely from the things of earth. They were known as Anchorets, hermit?, ascetics. They dwelt in caves and lonely cells. apart from mankind, and manv of them attained great "spiritual eminence" through separation.
But because they excluded from i their thought the real problems cf; mankind, they did not prosper. No one attacked them and compelled them to forsake their celibate and; solitary lives, but through their very J uselessness, they passed away, and the earth knew no more. These strange creatures were, but typos of the literary ascetics of our' day, a class of men whom the modern i
state university and technical school is literal!- putting out of business, for the good and sufficient reason that they have no business. Like their prototypes in the religious world, they must pass away from simple uselessness. We are ready to swear by Dr. E. J. James., President of the Illinois State University, when he says. "In a word, the State University which most fully performs its functions for the American people, will stand simply, plainly, unequivocally and uncompromisingly for training for vocation; not training for leisure, or training for scholarship, except as training for scholarship is a necessary incident to any proper vocation or may be a vocation in itself." What he says of the State University, is true of other schools. It is the dominant no4e in the education of today.

MR. PETERSON AND PIE. The troubles of John P.. Peterson
congressman-elect from the Tenth
District have begun. He is already being besieged by letter-writers nnd
personal interviews with applicants for office. lie will be the sole arbiter for patronage In this district and will
be able to build up a powerful ma
chine by the way he doles out the offices. As an exchange polnta out:
Mr. Peterson like other -politicians, will no doubt evince greater dependence In a material organization, as a means of keeping himself in office, than he will fvince faith in himself a popular public servant. Not on what hewill do at Washington, but on how well he satisfies the workers around the district, will be Mr. Peterson's dependence. There is quite a pleasant little
time in store for Mr. Peterson as far as Lafayette is concerned. In the capital of Tippecanoe county there Is
a little coterie of democratic politicians who do uot like Mr. Peterson They wanted to run Mayor Duig.n. in the convention It will be remem
bered that they acciised the congress
man-elect of being a. Standard Oil
mission. We imagine the tender
solicitude of Mr. Peterson for this crowd when they begin to snuggle up to the pie-counter. But there is trouble for the Crown Foint man which ever way he looks at it. No matter how good a congressman he makes he. cannot satisfy everyone as to political pie. It was the sore heads, the grouches and the disappointed in office that defeated Judge Crumpacker. No oir had a word to say ngMnst his ability or his work at Washington. But because he couldn't hand out a job to every Tom Dick and Harry, they gjt tm scalp.
IS anybody taking up subscriptions for a monument at Armageddon? We will give a Chinese tael with two holes in it.
WHAT has become of the old fashioned man who used to say, "Well I see the democrats are in the saddle again".
PAPERS say that Constantinople is ready to fall. Well let her fall we have time to watch the fall now.
CUBA must be under the weather, or something. Its election passed off witb.ouL.any rioting.
THE RIGHT IDEA. ,Ve have to record here our thanks to Superintendent Walter Edwards' for the courteous way in which he assisted THE TIMES yesterday in gathering the news about the Aetna Powder mill disaster. Correct news with facts, not distorted accounts, were printed as a result. Usually corporation officials, for some unknown reason try to block news efforts in cases of accident. Yesterday it was different. Mr. Edward's attitude is to be commended to the other factory heads in this region. A great deal of the misapprehension that the public often has of a corporation would ha lessened if more tact and less churlishess were shown. In enabling the facts to be known Mr. Edwards yesterday performed a distinct service to his company and we are glad to tell about it here.

And yet, some of us go there not more than once or twice a year, some of us once or twice in a lifetime, and some of us never. And that Fpot is simply the bbttom of our hearts. How often do you go down into the very bottom of your heart? A little friend of mine was trying to make up h-r mind about something. "In tiie bottom of your heart," I asked, "don't you know that you don't care for him?" t She sat thinking intently for a moment or two. "Yes." she acknowledged slowly, "In the bottom of my heart, 1 guess I do know it. I don't know- as I ever went there to rind out before." That's the way with most of us. Yv'e have some Important question to decide, and we argue with ourselves, and range disadvantages and advantages against each other in pit' bed battle, and get needlessly confused and eembroiied. while down in the bejttorn of our hearts, clear and distinct as the pebbles at the bottom or a crystal well, the true answer lies waiting for us to come and look for it. To fen men who are honest with other men I don't believe there is meire than one who Is thoroughly honest with himself.
