We are creatures of habit, but only of the habits we CHOOSE to have. The final decision, in most cases, rest3 with the Bupreme court of self. SIMPLICITY? PIFFLE! It will doubtless be a great shock to the Jefferson Club of Hammond as well as to others who have become obsessed with the idea that the honored Thomas Jefferson was a plain man to learn that simplicity and Jefferson were as wide apart as the negative and positive poles. A lot of democrats when they picture Jefferson In their mind's eye think of him as some horny-handed son of toil who wore homespun ate his pie with a knife, had hayseed In his whiskers and. wiped his nose by drawing the back of his hand beneath it. This idea of Jeffersonian simplicity is getting to be somewhat of a bore The only genuine Jeffersonian simplicity is the belief, if anybody really cherishes it, that such a thing ever existed outside of the fairy tales of politics. Thomas Jefferson was one of the most accomplished men of his age, an athlete, a horseman, a snot, a dilettante, a violinist, interested in a hundred arts and sciences and ele gancies, from dancing and dining to agriculture, architecture and landscape gardening and forestry as has been pointed out. He capered it nimbly with the girls in the gover nor's 'palace' at Williamsburg. Afterward he became familiar with the most polished society of Europe. In this age he would be regarded as a plutocrat, an aristocrat, a dude,' and he probably couldn't be elected con stable in St. John township. The horseback-Inauguration legend has been 'exposed" as many times as the ereen goods game. Let us be con tent to say that throughout such parts of these United State3 as were setled in 1801 Jefferson's accession was celebrated by more bands and marchings and celebrations and salves and triumphal arches and general gilt, fuss and absurd parading legs in proportion to population than any other event before the visit of Lafayette in 1824. There was no

TELL. VOIR TROIBLES TO THE BREEZES. When the winds adversely blow, and your heart la wora with, woe. And the bells of life have got a somber tone. Don't unload your cares and fenra Into other people's ears. For remember they have trouble of their own. Bear the load an beat you can, with the courage of n man. And when over you the lowering skies are dark. When your troubles aweep your breast till they nil you with unreal. Go and tell them to the brezea In the park. Clouds at times obscure the sun In the lives ef every one Till the trail ahead looks shadowy and dim. And the man who atrugglea en, praying for the early dawn, Doesn't want another'a earea piled onto him. When you feel that you must lire off your tale of troubles dire. Do not rhoose a fellow toller for a mark) If at sympathy you aim, you will get It just the same. If you tell It to the breeaea In the park. Always bear this fact In mind when to morbidness Inclined, That you're not the only sufferer on earth; Other breasts msy harbor wo when there Is no outward showHarbor sorrows bid beneath a cloak of mirth. When the cares of life oppress, and you're wrestling with distress. And your star of hope seems but n fading spark. An you feel that you must talk, take a ulet little walkTell you troubles to the breeses In the park. Denver Pont. Jeffersonian simplicity Jeffersonians. among the IT will undoubtedly keep Congressman Peterson pretty busy trying not to reduce the tariff too much. r- . 1 YOU may succeed when other do not believe In you but you certainly wont' If you do-not believe IjsS your self. the hypocr: JBSSfltfe thy would paint' the names of owners on the doors of resorts In the levee district. If they ever started this in Gary and also included the names of the rental agents some leading church members would be like the little boy who woke up in the night and found he had kicked all the covers off SOMETHING NEEDED. Now that the parcel post has be come an established feature of the postal service, the necessity for drect transportation of the mails between the cities of the Calumet region, once more assumes the proportions of a crying grievance. There will be a great demand for fresh vegetables, butter, eggs and such like commodities between the cities of East Chicago, Whiting, Indiana Harbor, Hammond, Gary, and the farming districts of the southern end of Lake county. The inconvenience . of routing perishable stuff through to Chicago and back to its destination, as will be the case with much of the mail matter unless an interurban postal service is establish ed, cannot be estimated. The cities of the Calumet region hsould unite in a concerted clamor for decent service that will make Washington sit up and take notice. GOV. Sulzer of New1 York is said to read all the papers before breakfast Gee, he must eat late on Sunday if he wades through all the New York papers. MR. Patterson should ask his pre decessor Mr. Greenwald how he work ed It. WHAT ABOUT THIS? George Parker was ground to death under the wheels of an Erie freight train Monday night. Had Parker been where he belonged, in the insane asylum or the penitentiary, there would have been one less tragedy. The man about a year and a half ago shot and killed his housekeeper while in a drunken frenzy. He was not punished for his crime, as it was declared he was insane. However, his "insanity" did not interfere with his release and it failed to prevent his holding a position from time to time, on the faithful attention to which many lives depended. This position was that of flagman on a dangerous railroad crossing. His own end which came when he was struck by

an engine while Intoxicated, .proclaims how ill-flttedh was to bear the responsibilities' his position imposed. --' It seems a unique circumstance that in Parker's position could be so situated that it is possible for such a tragedy as that of Monday night to occur. Why was not Parker either hanged, or confined in the penitentiary of an insane asylum long ago? If of sound mind one of the former, if not the latter disposition should have been made of him. All of this furnishes food for

thought as to what is the matter with the administration of justice, or the responsibility of the authoriies regarding the care of irresponsible persons, in Lake county and what of a corporation that permitted a lunatic to guard a crossing? , The freeing of John Katara who killed his victim with an air hose, is another instance of how lightly is regarded the taking of human life in this locality. If there is now law to cover such cases, it is high time one was made. Possibly Katara did not mean to kill his victim, but he knew the chance he was taking. A similar plea might be entered in any case of homicide or murder, and would be worthy of the same consideration. GARY patriots are beginning to wonder whether some of those lucra tive sinecures at Indianapolis haven't been lost in the mails. ' SENATOR Bailey's swan .song sounded like a croak. There wasn't a bit fit music in it. T. E. Jt We fear that hi'izoner, the Hon. Tom Knotts, pri.rce royal of Garv. will upset sociaVtraditions by the reception that isbeing tendered to him tomorrow night by the admiring pepull. t Althougb. the Gary ruier is to be the gu&st of honor he has taken upon himseif the duties of designating the proier costume. It need not be full dress for men dor evening dress for the ladies. . Thusly, hizzoner demoralizes the social traditions of the steel city. All the good that the charity balls have done in educating the Gary native, the donning of formal dress and boiled shirts now and then if he is to keep up with the progress of cvilization is blown away like confetti in a high wind. . . . What in the wofld'are we going to do with our charity ball stories in the future? LOCAL man has reached the point where he has just commenced to inspect his Christmas bills. CHICAGO is wrestling with a $66,000 slush fund. It, is always slushy weather in Chicago always some thing needing investigating. BE KIND TO HORSES. One of the worst features of "slip pery weather" is the abuse of horses which always accompanies it. As though the poor creatures do not suffer enough by reason of the same inconveniences humans are obliged to endure, under like circumstances, coupled with the extra diffi culty experienced by being compelled Improperly shod, to pull heavy loads. the most sickening cruelty on the part of the drivers is often the last straw to the unfortunate animal's misery. Of course it is only the most ignorant and unintelligent of drivers who will abuse their horses when they slip and fall, but unfortunately drivers frequently represent this class of humankind. If owners of horses could see for themselves the manner in which their animals are often treated by unreasoning boys, and brutal men who drive them, it is doubtful whether they would put up with it. But unfortunately they are unable to keep watch over the actions of these scattered employes. One thing however, they can do. That is to insist upon their horses being properly shod during the winter months. There is no excuse for adding to the weight of suffering borne by horses, that of being smooth-shod and expecting them to pull heavy loads when it is all they can do to keep themselves in an upright position. Any owner of horseflesh should feel himself responsible in the matter of providing his horses with proper shoes. TOO bad there is no homeopathy in law. A little application of air hose to John Katara' who killed a lad at the Standard might help a little. NEVER did have much faith in the weather man but since he neglected to say anything about that sleet storm, we have less faith in him than ever.

THE TIMES.

IS WIFE A LADY? "It's a hard thing for some men to remember that women are ladles even if -they are wives. "Occasionally a man thinks that just because he happens to be married to a woman he may insult her, and swear at her, and humiliate her with impunity. "It's always such men who can't see why so many women are invading the divorce courts," said the woman whose mouth is beginning to droop at the corners. MAGAZINE has lengthy story in how to make thin arms plump. Can be told in a veryfeAv words. Use a scrubbing brush frequently. SOME of the Indiana cities are declaring that they have too many aldermen. It is a cinch there are too many of one kind. IS IT SIGNIFICANT ? We don't know whether there la any connection between two Incidents that have taken place in, Gary lately but the facts are: r That Prosecuting Attorney J. A. Patterson was inaugurated into office last week. That an edict was put in force by the temocratic administration to carry out what is known as golden ule administration I. e. plain drunks are not to be arrested in Gary but taken home. This cuts down the prosecutors fees until they won't buy shoes for a two year old. Rather hard on Mr. Patterson who is a republican. ACTOR S wife in Texa3 took two shots at her husband and missed him both times. Certainly Texas is decadent. What better proof could you want. X. NO we don't feel sorry for the blacksmith, the poor coal dealer Is the only one who has our sympathy. THE DIFFERENCE. There are all kinds of orgies. Some sanctimonious souls will get up in a public meeting and denounce a New Years party as a debauch. But If the mask was torn off their own little private affairs, they would have to go very far in the rear and hide their faces. : Glass houses? .A - . Gee! ' COUNT that day lost whose sun sets without an accident or a fatality somewhere in the Calumet region. MINNESOTA health official says the only place to kiss a woman is on her photograph.

HEARD BY RUBE ANY doctor knows that the seriousness of an appendicitis case is gauged in proportion to the cipher's in Pre patient's wealth. YES, it does look like Gary has forgotten its hero, Billy Rugh. IN case that Mr. Wilson finds some of the burdens of office too heavy he can pass his pardoning power to Mr. Marshall with the full assurance that the vice president won't let any rust accumulate on it. ' "WE learn that at his home-coming reception tomorrow night Mayor Knotts will stand amid a background of ministers and lilies. Why not liave a few angels, a couple of Bibles, a fewdoves, the Hon. Bill Cain, and the Hon. Cy Howell punctuating thit scene to lend it additional purity? Auto Kirk vs. Horse Kirk. (Hobart correspondence to The Times.) Dr. R. C. Mackey is nursing a broken arm which he sustained on Friday from the kick of the engine while attempting to crank his auto. THESE are great days, indeed, when a man has to approach his auto carefully lest the pesky critter kick him. Bet you that the doc wishes now that fie had his old Dobbin and surrey back again. AMONG distinguished visitors expected very shortly is Mr. Zero Mark of Medicine Hat. But down in effete Crown Point, where they imbibe knowledge with every gulp they are "anticipating the arrival of Boreas."
