"There's such a lot of people in the city who've never found time to look up at the sky, though they've lived under it all their lives," said the old farmer who's in town visiting his married daughter. GATHER round children, father is going to see how far he can go with you this Christmas. "CALL me early mother dear so I can do my Christmas shopping." THE PASSING OF THE CEMETERY. Time was when the dead were buried in the church yard in the heart of the cities and villages of this country. Then they were forced into the suburbs and now the laws f the state of Indiana prohibit the laying out of a cemetery within the cor porate limits of any city. The action of Mayor Reaumont Parks and such aldermen as Paskovitz and Burton in forcing the vacat ing of the Whiting cemetery is highly commendable. It is one of the progressive acts of a progressive city administration. Posterity will praise these men. The site of the cemetery is to be used for manufacturing purposes and no one will question the statement that its utility for this purpose is much greater than that for which it formerly was used. Some day burying people in the ground will be considered a barbarous practice just as they now consider the practice of certain Indians in leaving their dead exposed to the winds and weather in the branches of trees, evi dence of a lack of civilization. Then everybody will be cremated The law will require cremation and it will come to be recognized as the best way of disposing of this human temple in which the sou finds its temporary resting place. Ground is too valuable to be used in this manner. The cost of purchasing and maintaining a lot, only to have it forgotten and neglected In a hundred years, is too great. That la why mausoleums are coming Into vogue. The mausoleum is the first step towards cremation. Besides cemeteries obstruct pro gress. The are unsanitary. They in trude themselves on certain districts, they prevent the opening of streets, their owners seldom try to hide thei unsightliness from the public and in short they have no pace in a progres sive community.

Ol? for THE

BEYOND TUB VEIL. They are all gone Into the world of light! And I aloae alt lingering here; Their very memory la fair aad bright, Aad my aad thoughts doth clear. It glows and glitters la my cloudy breast. Like atara upon some gloomy grove. Or those faint beams la which this hill la drear. After the sun's remove. I see them walking la an air of glory. Whoe light doth trample on my dayai My days, which are at beat but dull and hoary, v Mere glimmering and decays. O koly Hope! aad htgk Humility, High aa the heavens a bo vet These are your walks, and you have ahawed them me. To kindle my cold love. Dear, beauteous Death! the jewel of the just. Shining nowhere but In the dark. What mynteries do lie beyond thy dust. Could man outlook: that mark! He that hath fouad some fledged bird's neat may know At first sight if the bird he flown i But what fair well or grove he sings In That Is to him unknown. And yet aa angels In some brighter d reams Call to the aoul, when man doth sleep. So seme strange thoughts transcend our wonted themes, And Into glory peep. If a atar were confined Into a tomb. The captive flames must needs burn there; But when the hand that locked her op given room. She'll ablne through all the sphere. O Father of eternal life, and all Created glories under thee. Resume Thy spirit from this world of thrall Into true liberty. Either disperse these mists, which blot and fill My perspective attll aa they pass. Or else remove me hence unto that hill Where I shall need no glass. Henry Vaughn. Some day not very far distant all cemeteries will be forced Into the country. They will be compelled to go miles from human habitation. Then there will be certain requirements as to landscape gardening and other methods of hiding them. bo the action of the Whinner authorities in forcing the cemetery out of town is a splendid one. It Is one that should be followed in other cities in this region. And in the fu ture cemeterys should be located so as to avoid the possible future development of our cities. YOU might put all your pennies into Red Cross seals. They are for an object that never goes amiss. WHAT'S interesting women more than the tariff is "who will be the next White House bride?" A FINE PRODUCTION. The young people of the Hammond high school who amazed their friends and relatives at the Hammond theatre last night by staging the quaint Elizabethan comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew," are worthy of compliments for their work. It is no small task to put on. a production of that calibre. There are a thousand and one things to take care of besides the mere speaking of the written line. The stage direction and equipment were admirably looked after. Really aie quite proua or our young scholastic Thespians. It was hard work but of such is life anyway and they will always remember "The Taming of The Shrew" with the most pleasant memories. HONESTLY some of these demo cratic pie-counter warmers think thev are doing it out of sheer love of their country. ANNETTE Kellerman the "Diving Venus" is to wed. Hope it isn't the fatal plunge for the shapely Annette "CIRCULATING THE TOWN." Among the many absurd channels through which inexperienced adverts ers waste their money in vain at tempts to gain the public eye none is broader or deeper than that called "circularizing the town." One of these missives recently sent out in great numbers was found, by perhaps the only one of the recipients who took the trouble to examine it, to on tain three separate sheets of printed paper and a stamped enveope. To send this to every one of the daily Herald's regular buyers and subscribers would cost $5,000. To send it to the Sunday Herald's list would cost

about three times as much, and it is estimated that each eopy of a highpriced paper like the Herald is read by at least five persons, while not one Ircular in a dozen is ever looked at. Five thousand dollars would get a page in the Herald for a whole week, including the great Sunday edition sufficient to awaken interest in every drawing room, club hotel, cafe, banking office and high-class business house in the town and among the weathier classes in all parts of the country. Does any one really believe that 10 times this sum spent in "circularizing" would do as much? New York Herald.

OXE of the things that worries most of us the least Is whether Mr. Wilson shall be inaugurated in March or April. IF the railroads do not get b'usy the poor coal dealer will not.be able to get enough to buy his Christmas turkey. FOXY WHLUM. "Taft Leaves Tariff to Next President; Nation Prosperous." Chicago Dally News headline. v Mr. Taft is certainly handing Brother Wilson a nice sugar-coated lemon. However, as his regime has made money for all of us, giving us wide prosperity, no one an get angry with William for wanting to have a little fun and relaxation now in the shape of playing jokes on Woodrow. GARLIC is now recommended as a cure for tuberculosis. Constant trips in a South Hohmah street car then might be advised as a cure for that hacking cough. STATISTICS show that there are 2,740 goats in Indiana. This does not include those that were obtained in Hammond during the last campaign THIS WILL REMOVE THE "TAINT." 'There is the sum of $5,000 going unclaimed in the city of Gary. The money was alleged to have been used for the bribery of officials. The harge was denied and failed of proof in court. As a result, there is no one to claim the money. The peope of Gary are busying themselves In a movement for a suitable memorial to Willie Itugh, the newsboy who have up his life to save that of a suffering girl. The memorial fund is expected to provide a public drinking fountain in Gary, to endow a bed in a hospital and to aid the fami ly of the dead boy. Why not add this $5,000 of "taint ed money" to the memorial fund? That will take the "taint" off in short order.,' THE inventor of the circus lemon ade died recently. He showed that all men in the long run eventually get what is coming to. them. PRESIDENT Eliot of Harvard ad vises the freshmen to marry early They certainly will have to do so If they marry at all. ROOSEVELT WONT RUN. We are prostrated. Roosevelt has announced through the chairman of the bull moose party that he will not run for president again. Neither was Sarah Bernhardt ever to appear again oil the American stage but she is back again just the same. The last time Theodore went into retirement he was unwillingly haled back into the limelight by seven gov ernors; four years hence he may suc ceed In getting seven real live con gressmen to insist that he make the race and after that he will probably ome out at the instance of seven real aldermen. Our notion, guaranteed by the United States pure food and drug act of Teddy's retirement is the Irish man's remark when he saw the dromedary in the zoo, ' They ain't no such thing." With Teddy and his "tremendous popularity," with Teddy and his pro gressive crusade, with Teddy and his Jeremiah Beverldge, with Teddy and his Chicago Tribune, with Teddy and the support of the mal-contents al over the country the bull moose cause lost. Less than one third of the people of the United States wanted Theo dore. He cut the republican party in twain got 70 presidential electors, ou of five hundred and some and gave us four years of tariff uncertainty. And now he announces that he "won't run." Good heavens man what will become of the country. He is going to turn the baby moose over l to other nurses. Can anybod imagine him abandoning it if he thought there was a ghost of a show of perpetuating his candidacy for th presidency or even of making a re spectable showing in the next elec tion.

EMPEROR ELBERT. The immensity of the United States Steel corporation of which Elbert H. Gary is the chairman Is realized by but a few. It is an empire in Itself and no empire has such autocratic authority over its subjects. More than a quarter of a million men take orders from Elbert H. Gary. His word is law in 1,700 industrial communities, of which we have a few

in this region. He Is at the head of more than sixty constituent com panies; and he is a power in banks that control the finances of the na tion. He is at the head of six big railway lines owned by the corpora tion and 4 2.00Q men a whole army corps mine the coal and ore used by this big trust. And he dominates over a fleet of ore boats having more ships and more tonnage than the Italian navy. The United States Steel corporation is the greatest business organization n the world's history. It is financial ly formidable enough to buy and sell half a dozen European kingdoms and its revenues are great enough to make the chancellor of the exchequer of a great country envious. Yet the head of this big industrial empire is the product of an Illinois farm. A lawyer, a country banker. village president and an obscure county Judge were his titles before the realization of his abilities by financiers placed him in a high sta tion. When the history of the present day industrialism is written Judge Gary's name 'will occupy a prominent part. If we think that the empire over which Gary reigns is a vast one twenty years from now we will find that it is a dwarf compared with the gigantic mergers that are yet to come. Now we deal with national trusts; we are approaching the dawn of vast international combinations. A little more than a decade ago we though that the Federal Steel company, of which the Illinois and Lorain Steel companies are a part, and the Carnegie Steel companies were marvels of corporate immensity. Today they are but provincial components of the one ruled from 71 Broadway New York their heads simply viceroys. This tendency for concentration and the creation of greater industrial empires is on the increase and there will be a lot of industrial emperors and vieroys needed to rule them and the material will come from the young men of today. The rise of Elbert Gary from the farm to such a commanding position ought to be an inspiration to the young men In the Btel business, however low their pres ent rank is. ONE distillery at Hammond is pro ducing 22,000 gallons of whisky a day. No wonder one of Indiana's favorite sons went through the entire campaign: "Pass prosperity around." Muncie Press. HE TAKES IT RIGHT. Cheer up. What are your petty woe to the monumental afflictions of some other? List to the editor of the Jamestown, Kas., Optfmit: "A year ago the editor had awlfe and two children, and a small deposit in one bank. Now we have a wife and three children, and an overdraft in both banks. There is always something to be thankful for about holiday time. CERTAINLY gets to be a bore when you hear somebody shouting off a string of figures only to find out they are calling off the only so many more Christmas shopping days. SOUTH Bend holiday season is to be somewhat marred by the an nouncement that Frank Heney of Frisco, the human blatherskite is to make a talk there soon. EE A;H ID BY RUBE CHESTERTON businss men are kicking because of the cocky attitude of the express companies lf refusing to deliver packages. Well, wait until after Jan. 1. Chesterton, and the postal par cels will put the quietus on the express companies. WE hereby request our subscribers in Gary, Indiana Harbor and North Hammond and other "wet" lands to be careful in selecting Xmas presents for our proofreader. We had an awful time with him last year. . SEEING what a wide experience he has gained from being arrested so many times and being tried in court so often Woodrow Wilson should appoint hlzzoner, the Hon. Tom Knotts, to a place on the federal bench. AN increase In the Stork family: "Mr. and Mrs. Lambert Stork, 1800 Maple street, are the parents of a ten-pound son, born Sunday." Lafayette Morning Journal. The kaiser wen't let German diplomats marry American girls. Must be

an extra surplus of old maids in the fatherland. WE are pleased to note that the trade-at-home crusade inaugurated by the Gary merchants has taken such a hold on the Gary saloonkeepers that they want the family case trade to follow the motto laid down hy the mer chants. Our special correspondent. Hennery Coldbottle, however, will continue to ge his Bud from the Anheuser-Busch folks at St. Louis. If there are any bull moosers in the crowd who feel that they have more money than they can spend on Xmas present, they might send their share to Brother George W. Perkins to reimburse him for his contributions to the cause. IN speaking of the motion pictures of the funeral of Billy Hugh, the Gary newsboy hero, which are being exhibited throughout Indlanny, the 'steemed Michigan City Despatch carries a reading notice which states that the funeral panorama is the most "gorgeous affair of recent years." No doubt this is the way they feel about it at Michigan City. GREAT HADES! Switzerland may join in the general European war. In this event the holes in the Swiss cheese

will get bigger and we'll have to dine on the festive limburger. THIS Is the time of the year when the citizen who bought a 1912 auto at a goodly price begins to feel cheap when catalogs showing the 1913 models begin to arrive. IN case those Gary patriots don't keep quiet In their efforts to grab off state and federal jobs it may be necessary for Congressman Peterson to have Chief Martin guard the spoils of war for safekeeping. NOW that the federal courts have declared that Thomas Edison didn't invent motion pictures there is a chance that the pe-pull may be successful In getting out an injunction preventing the Hon. Charley Fowler of Indiana Harbor from imagining that Calumet is the center of creation. LAFAYETTE man has invented an auto that will use kerosene instead of the costly gasoline. He wants to get ahead of the Standard Oil. Just as likely as not Jawn D. will boost the price of kerosene now. Up and Down in INDIANA THREE DIE WITHIN' 24 HOl'RS. Three South Bend men have dropped dead from heart trouble within the last twenty-four hours, a circumstance probably never before duplicated in South Bend. The victims are Andrew A. Ebersole, 65 years old; David Hepler, 69 years years old, and Niels Rasmusen. 0 years old. The last victim of the disease was Mr. Hepler, who succumbed suddenly at his home shortly after 10 o'clock this morning after a two days' illness. Mr. Ebersole dropped dead while at work ia the milling, room of the MiBhawaka Woolen Manufacturing Company an hour before, while the other man died suddenly In the home of his daughter, Mrs. Catherine Nellson, late yesterday afternoon. DISEASE GETS NEW FOOTHOLD. Ten new diphtheria patients were placed under quarantine yesterday at Hartford City following a report from the state laboratory on the cultures from the throats of children dismissed from school following,.medical inspection. The epidemic appears to have gained a new foothold and the school and health officers will redouble their efforts to stamp it out. Thirty-one cases were reported last month. BUY FARMS FOR OIL. A company recently formed by Indl anapolis capitalists for the purpose of prospecting for gas and oil in Brown county has bought the George Allison farm near Nashville, and it is said will buy or lease a total of 1,000 acres in Brown county and some Bartholomew county. Former Auditor of State Bill heimer and Will Gardner of Indianapolis are members of the company. More or less gold has been found in Brown county from time to time, and it is the belief of the natives that the new com pany may find paying quantities of the yellow metal while prospecting. ATTEMPTS Sl'ICIDE AT GRAVE. Going to the grave of his wife, who was buried about a year ago, Charles H. Henrlte, 80 years old, and a civil war veteran, tried to kill himself by slashing his throat with a knife at Jeffersonville. He was found weak from loss of blood, but will probably recover. He had left a note which read: "Bury me where found. Many other old soldiers have been buried in thi sway." Recently he sued his niece. Lily Eagerly, to set aside a deed con veylng to her and her husband proper ty for which they were to treat him as one of their family, asserting they had failed to do so. NO SUNDAY PICTfRE SHOWS. Moving picture proprietors are preparing to contest the right of a Chautauqua management to give Sunday entertainments during an engagement at Crawfordsville the coming summer. Last summer the moving picture men asked the City Council to permit them to open the shows on Sunday. The Council would not grant the request and to make certain that shows would not be given an ordinance was passed prohibiting any sort of entertainment on Sunday for which an admission fee is charged or asked. COURT GRANTS NEW HEARING. Judge Bartholomew has granted the plaintiff a new trial in the case of Mrs. Lizzie Waltz against the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company, a suit for damages of $10,000. The case was tried at Shelbyvllle several months ago, after having been brought to Shelbyvllle on change of venue from Indianapolis, and a verdict was returned for the defendant. The case had previously been tried at Indianapolis and the jury had returned a verdict for the paintiffs in the sum of $3,500. SPORTSMEN!
