The vote of thanks by the Ham mond Chamber of Commerce to the Chicagoans and others who rendered assistance at Washington in getting through the recent appropriation for the breakwater at Indiana Harbor, Is in line with the pollicy adopted by those who have been most active in working for the appropriation from this region .some time ago. That th policy was a good one is evidenced by the results. Up to about the time set for th hearing before the board of United States Engineers In Chicago, at which the board was to decide upon its recommendations to congress con cerning harbor improvement at In diana Harbor, it had been the habit of the Chicago press to oppose every demand made from this region. The idea seemed to prevail that the people over on this side were trying to benefit at the expense of Chicago. Shortly after the hearing before the board of United States engineers, a committee of citizens from the various cities of Lake county, visited the newspaper offices and asked the city editors to "cut out the knocking." They explained that Indiana Harbor did not seek to tread on Chi cago toes in the matter of securing eminent aid for their harbor pro t. It was immaterial to them how much Chicago asked for ,or received That city might demand a billion, for all they cared. What they did want. however, was to promote their own harbor, irrespective of any other har bor. The same line of talk was given to the private harbor interests in Chi cago, who had been unfriendly to In diana Harbor In the past. When the situation had been fully explained all around, the editors of the Chicago papers realized that they had been laboring under a misapprehension and accordingly practically all opposition from all sources ceased then and there. Peace having thu3 ucru eaiauisnea u was considered ad visable to lose no opportunity in fu ture to show our friends, the erstwhile enemy, that this side appreci ates the cessation of hostilities.

Twenty-three years ago, in an ex plosion of naptha on the steamer Tioga, in the Chicago RJver, twenty eight negro stevedores were killed. The matter found its way into the lawyers' hands, suits for damages were started with varying success and, after the manner of such litiga tion, carried up. Last Tuesday the United States Court of Appeals decided that the heirs of the twenty-eight victims were entitled to $110,000 damages. With the lapse of time every direct heir of the Identified dead has died or disappeared. The steamship com pany wound up its affairs years ago, The attorney that defended the case and the lawyer that prosecuted it are dead. It would be a good thing to trace this suit step by step, learn just what delayed it and see that no other case ever dawdles along for twenty-three years or anything like it. SUSPENDER concern has been driven into bankruptcy. Too many wearing belts or else the high cost of living has put a lot of fat men out of business. F. M. Certainly not. You never saw a newspaper who would sidestep 13 or any other unlucky number. THE INSPIRED CANE-CARRIER A cane lends dignity, gives a spick and span appearance and goes far to ward Inducing dignity to be your creditor. A cane absolutely prevents that absurd swinging of the arms so prevalent among the present youth both male and female. A cane can be used as a staff, a bludgeon, a cudgel a shillelah, a life preserver. With a cane no license is required, no fear of legal punishment possible. A cane is the symbol of a gentleman, the armorial of aristocracy, and the man who carries one will probably find that it adds considerably to his personal appearance, his income and prestige during the year. Letter to New York Sun. GOOD thing after all that governors are elected for four years for it takes the first two to undo what the previous incumbent has done. QUIT your yelling. Lots of folks worse off than you are. THE SALT OF THE EARTH. These "institutes" which the farmers of Lake county are holding this month have brought up a train of reflections. It was Thomas Carlyle who said: Two men I honor and no third. One the toil-worn craftsman who with earth-made Implement, laboriously conquers the earth." It does not matter for present purposes who the other fellow was who shared the illustrious philosopher's esteem, but first and foremost he eulogizes the toilworn craftsman who with earth made Implement, laboriously con quers the earth. In other words, the farmer. The farmer of the present day is the recipient of more encomiums than usually falls to the lot of men in other walks in life. He is no longer however, the "toil-worn craftsman" described by Mr. Carlyle. At least, not to notice. Neither is his con quering of the earth so laborious : matter as it once was. The earth rather seems to yield to his demands That is to say to those of the scien tific farmer. The institutes promoted by the state, seek to make every farmer, a scientific agriculturist. They seek more than that. As Mr. Woods, the county chairman of the farmer's or ganization in Lake county suggests, it is desired to get as many as possible outside the ranks of the tillers of the

soil, to come and share with the lat

ter the knowledge offered through the medium of these meetings so soon to be held in every locality throughout Lake county. America as a nation, knows far too little of the rudiments of farming. And yet how many thousands of business men and men employed on salaries in large cities desire after they are weary of the grind of city life, to retire to the country where they can get close to nature, breathe deeply of unpolluted air and help to "make things grow," to do. In fact the things that God intended them to do. It were sacrilege to accuse the Almighty of having had any hand in the establishing of the hurried, fev erish, unnatural life of a great city In England for example almost every man has some knowledge of horticulture, or of agriculture, or both. Many an Englishman finds his chief pleasure in life in doing his little bit of gardening, and that is one reason why the English are such a sturdy race. How often is an American man found who enjoys coming home after a day's work in store or office and busying himself with the lawn, or a vegetable or flower bed? And yet to such the bit of out-door life this would afford would be a priceless boon as a health preserver. If more of it were done there would be less tuberculosis. We cannot all be farmers, but there are few of us indeed, who might not dally a little with spade and hoe, to the betterment of our constitutions and of our dispositions. LOOKING BACKWARD. The angry housewife who kicks against the high cost of living in these days has none of the worries that confronted her predecessor who lived in Europe medieval times., A writer recently unearthed the startling information that pepper, of which you can buy several varieties today for 40 or 50 cents a pound, usedjo sell for $10. Even as late as the seventeenth century a pound of nutmeg could be exchanged for a good horse, and cinnamon was quot ed at $S for 16 ounces. 'But very few could a,fford sugar and olive oil and until a little more than two hundred years ago salt was 30 cents a pound. Knives and forks were only for royalty and china dishes cost so much that the common herd had to eat out of wooden bowls. However, royal and wealthy the man who lived on this earth during the middle ages, he hadn't even the ordinary personal comforts that are possessed by the family of a $1.25 section hand today. The writer who did all of this disclosing may have dreamt some of it but readers may take it for what it is worth. COLD wave in California has froz en all the lemon3. Better put certain people we could mention, under cover. SILK trouserettes to the knees are reported by a New oYrk paper to be the proepr garb for teas. If it is either saucy silken "panties" or no tea we shall have to cut out the cup that cheers. ' NIGHT TELEGRAPH SERVICE. The Lafayette Courier prints: "The Kokomo Dispatch has been noticing The Courier's demand for continuous telegraph service for this city. The Dispatch reprints The Courier's editorial touching the mat ter and heads it, "Likewise in Koko mo." The Dispatch says that Koko mo has no telegraph service after 1 o clock in the evening, and along with The Courier thinks that a pub lie utilities commission is needed to intervene In behalf of the public in this matter. "In the meantime, if the press of the state, especially the papers In the smaller cities, would join with The Courier and the Dispatch in agitating for continuous "service it is possible that the cities would soon get into a telegraphic equality with those vil lages and 'tank stations' where there are night operators at the railroad stations. This matter of continuous telegraph service is one deserving at tention from all places that haven' it. To get continuous service should be a common battle. Kokomo should rightly join with Lafayette. What will it avail for Lafayette to have con tinuous telegraph service and KokO' mo not to have, and vice versa? There would be no sense in tele grahping Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Voor hees Pike at. Kokomo unless the off ic there should be open to receive and deliver our message." WILL somebody kindly page old Battleaxe Castleman and find out why he is so quiet? MR. Hammerstein of New York says that success is what the public does to you. Candidates for post- ' masterships please write.

INDIAN A WILI, GET THERE IF THE GARY HUNCH HELPS OUT. (From the lieutenant governor's inau gural address.) May this work be so well done that Indiana shall become a state so superb in the character of Its citizenship, so rich and varied in the exHeart to Heart - Talks By JAMES A. EDGERTON THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS. To stand on a mountain top it is necessary to climb. This has been said before, which only proves Its truth. The higher the peak the harder the climb: Fame is a mountain top. The climb to it is not alone, or chiefly, physical, bat is none t!e less arduous. Despite the bricks thrown at the United States senate on account of the character or affiliations of some of its members it is perhaps the greatest legislative body on earth. Membership in it is a station that any normal man would wish to bold. The other day I made up a list of present United States senators, tabulating their educational advantages. early public positions and other like, facts. Most of them were poor boys. While more than half bad a college education. many of these bad to pay their own way. Forty per cent have been members of state legislatures. Now, membership in a state legislature is not considered a particularly lofty station. Some jokesmiths compare going to the legislature with going to jail. Yet. with the right sort of man, service in a legislature may not only be worthy service, but may be a stepping stone to something higher. Despise not the day of small beginnings. One of these senators states In his official biography that he has been "lumberjack, cowboy, clerk and cash ier in a store, newspaper reporter, hodcarrier and lawyer." This recalls a similar statement by the present speaker of the national house of representatives, who says that be "worked as a hired farmhand, clerked in a country store, edited a country newspaper and practiced law." These men are not ashamed of their humble origin. They are proud of it. They have a right to be proud. It shows the length of the climb. The man who is ashamed of small beginnings may have a real cause for shame of his smaller ending. Abraham Lincoln worked as a hired farmhand, clerked In a country store and also served in the state legislature. Has be not made small beginnings honorable? The Prince of Peace was born in a stable and worked as a carpenter. It is not the depth from which we start that tells the tale. It Is our ability to climb.
