"How would you like to be com B?JI?I. --fr"ye yourself as you do your neighbors?" asked the woman who had just come from an innocent little gathering that had murdered the character cf everybody not pres rep ent. HOME RULE BY ALL MEANS. Lake County has a right to expect many things from the present General Assembly. One measure it wants above all others, for its cities home rule. Give us this, and we; can take care of ourselves. It is the most democratic measure, not ia, a partisan sense, that could be 'passed at this time. We In Lake County cannot see the justice of limiting us to an expan sion pace that represents the growth of a stand-still town. We progress aa fast In five years as the older cities do in twenty-five and to hitch us to their wagon is an arbltray boss rule. Many meritorious measures have been Introduced already, and If they are enacted into laws, so much the better, for the whole state, but few nave been introduced that go to fundamentals of civil government. The unvarnished fact is that this great state of Indiana, about which campaign orators spout glibly and volubly, is one of the most unpro gressive in the union In the matter of twentieth century legislation. Be cause we have no scandals that stir the state from one end to the other, we continue in a sort of a stupor, satisfied with the old order of things because cunning bsses make us like them, or at least because they keep us in a docile state of mind. It would be expecting too much that our method of legislation should be regenerated Ja'll at once, but home ruie ior me cities would De a big stei; In the right direction. It would pay the various civic bodies of the Calumet region well to keep a powerful lobby at the stat capital to stir up state wide interest and a state wide demand for home rule. ; And to think that at this very time there is a strong designing lobby at Indianapolis that is actually trying to foist upon the cities the disreputable "gray wolf system," by which all the power would again be centralized in "Jack pot" splitting aldermen, who could divy up by means of the committee system. Our present system though far from perfect would be more desirable, the commission form of government would be still better, but the best of all would be home rule by which we could devise a system

Can't Mrs. Hurty keep the doc. busier with the baby than she is doing? AN EXCUSABLE ERROR. Representative VanHorne lias i introduced a bill giving Indiana ! cities power to replace their city governments with commissions. He has confined it to cities be tween 19,000 and 60.000 people, thereby cutting out Lake county cities except East Chicago, probably not an oversight. The bill should bo amended to take in cities of 15,000 and over. Then Hammond and Gary would come within its provisions. Gary ' Tribune. The bill DOES include Hammond. Probably the esteemed Tribune thought that Hammond had over 50,000 people and was shut out of the bill on that account. According to the U. S. census taken two years ago Hammond had at that time 20,095 people. But the bill we admit should include Gary, by all means and should not be passed unless it does. HAMMOND is just as bad a place as any other to be carrying $1,100 on the streets in loose change as we have repeatedly pointed out. WE disagree with the naturalist who says that the lobster is becoming extinct. The two-legged variety will always be plentiful. MOVING PICTURES AGAIN. "Says Movies Replaces Drinks. "- Headline. The headline tells the story of the report of a college president who finds that motion-pictures has lessened the drinking tendencies among the students at his institution. And yet some good church people in Indiana are trying to make the motion-picture houses close on Sun days, with not a word said about the Sunday closing of saloons. We are in favor of Sunday moving picture shows as long as they are orderly and decent and not run on Sunday morning. Out in Denver the picture show managers became hog gish and operated on' Sunday morn ings. They now face a determined fight on the part of the church peo pie who want them closed altogether on the sabath. For daring to com pete with Sunday morning church services the Denver theatrical men deserve to lose public respect. The motion-picture house as it is in this manufacturing district is almost the sole recreation place of the workmen. To close it means nothing more than greater Sunday patronage for the saloons. We hope that the church people will see the logic- of this. AWFUL sorry about the stopping of that inaugural ball. Tell Tim Engelhart he doesn't need to have his golden-brown dress suit pressed. IF your egg didn't see just right this morning you'll know that biddy felt the young blizzard all right. YOUR EMPLOYER'S TIME. How do you use the hours general ly set apart for working? The Philadelphia. Telegraph takes to task salaried men who fail to work every

minute of the time during "working" hours because some i3 paying for it and is therefore entitled to all of it. "Suppse you earn a yearly salary of $2,500. and work eight hours a day and four on Saturday," says the Telegraph. "You receive $1.30 for every hour of the forty-four you work. Did you earn it? "If you are late every day oi" so; if you gossip every little while with the office force; if you spend more than the alloted time for lunch; if you do private business during your working hours; you will lose probably half an hour a day. or rather your employer will lose it. And at your rate of pay this will be a loss to him of just $170 a year. And you have been overpaid by just that amount. "To be successful you do not need to watch the clock, save to be punctual and scrupulous of your employer's time. It is paid for whether you work or loaf. This, is a small matter, but it is important. It lies at he basis of real success. "leafing that, nets you $170 is just 'grafting.' And you are not the man

to go out and shout about the gang in politics or business. You are a member in good standing so long os you graft $170 off your employer." The subject is pertinent. Ths Telegraph writer assumes that salaried men are paid on a time basis, so much an hour. The work of some salaried men, which is fully accepta ble to their employers, may not depend on the number of hours they keep at it, but rather on the results they achieve. -When they may seem to be loafing, for example, they may be performing their keenest brain work on behalf of their employers. DOC Eliot of Harvard suggests equal standards for men and women. Well they dress so much alike now that you can hardly tell them apart. NEW diamond weighing 1400 carats has been discovered to be a little off color. Well give it to some of these chaps who wear off-color neckties and tell off-color stories. FOR MARRIED MEN. Really men ought to be ashamed of themselves, especially married men. How many of you does this ap ply to?. "Last Sunday an Atchison man snoozed in bed until 11 a. m. Then he arose, dressed leisurely, had a nice breakfast, read the papers, smoked, loafed, ate a nice dinner, read some more papers, smoked, oafed, took a nap and in the eveningat a lunch, a little, smoked, loafed and was as agreeable as only a thoroughly worthless man knows how to be. His wife arose early, scrubbed the children and got them off to Sunday , school, cooked breakfast, cleaned up the house, cooked dinner, picked up things after her husband and the children,, did some darning, got a Sunday night lunch, washed up the dishes, sorted out the clothes, put on the boiler ready for the washing next day, darned some more stockings in the evening, and that night when the children went to bed on of them said to another: 'Isn't it nice to have papa home all day? He is so much pleasanter than mama.' Isn't that the way? Worthless people always get the bouquets." Pretty faithful picture isn't it? READING that fresh eggs are cheaper, after, breakfast thi3 morning, we fully determined however thai cheap eggs should be fresher. OUR old friends the rebels about to attack Juarez again. are MIGHT ASL0 KEEP STILL. Man signing himself John W. Williams, of New York, is trying to heckle Mr. Wilson. He writes the President-elect among other things: "Use your brains and keep your mouth shut." John W. Williams, of New Yorkmight recall the response of the stage manager to the objector in the West ern music hall: "Howsomever and notwithstanding which Miss Birdie Maginnls will now sing 'Down in the Valley.' WILLINGNESS to sit, at the feet. as it were, of other governors who have preceded him does not seem to make such a hit with Gov. Ralston and on that account he is more to be admired than ever. THE GASOLINE GAME BAG. The evil and unsportsmanlike practice of pursuing wild game by means of a gasoline launch, is about to be put to an end, if a bill now before the legislature becomes a law. The bill, we are somewhat ashamed to own, was inspired by the practices of Lake county hunters. Many and perhaps all of the men who have made use of the motor boa.t to pursue wild fowl here in Lake county fancy themselves true sportsmen. They would scorn to indulge in what is known as "pot hunting."

New York, Jan. 22. Miss Helen Mil ler Gould, one of America's wealthiest women, was married at 12:30 this afternoon to Finley J. Shepard of St. Louis, assistant to the president of the Missouri Pacific railroad, a system cre ated by the wizardry of her father, Jay Gould. M-iss Gould and Mr. Shepard rehearsed their wedding last evening in the great drawing room of Lyndhurst, Miss Gould'e country home To such perhaps, it has never occurred that taking so great an advantage of game, as the pursuit of it by motor boat affords, is unprincipiled and "yellow." . At the best, or the worst, according as you view it, the hunter has much in his favor, when the deadly character of his weapon is taKen into consideration, and pitting his intelligence against the instinct of the wild creature he pursues. But at least there is the element of skill which enters Into the bringing down of a fowl on the wing by a man in a row boat, or on dry land, as against the fleetness of the bird. When, however, the hunter is able by mechanical device, to cheat his prey at its own game,, the odds are all against the latter. A true sportsman with an inborn sense of the principles of sportsmanship of which, alas, there are too few would derive no satisfaction. from so uneven a chase. The same amount of credit and no more as due, than belongs to, the pot-hunter, who by means of an electric bull's eye, lures his land prey to its doom. IT is impossible to get unduly ex cited over M.' Poincaire's prospective duel. COLLECTOR Loeb says he will not resign before March -first. Erer see a man in a restaurant tilt hta plate so as to get all the soup that's com ing to him. CHINESE REPUBLIC LIMITED. China has held its first general election as a republic, but the suff rage is so loaded down with restrictions that a very large part of the people were unable to vote. It appears that abundant precautions have been taken by the men in power to keep the control of the government in the hands of their own class. A voter must live in the same elec tion district for two years before ex ercising the right of suffrage. He must nay an annual direct tax of not less than $2, which means any where from eight Jto forty days' wages for a common laborer, according to the part of the country in which he has his legal residence. lie must own immovable property valued at not less than $500 which is a sum large enough to bar out the great mass of the population, and he must be a graduate of a school higher than the elementary class. This educa tional qualification alone Would be enough to exclude the bulk of the' Chinese nation. j In the light of these restrictions upon the suffrage, it is clelir that the complete control of the lawmaking power in China will remain in the hands of classes which constitute not over . 1 0 per cent of the people. The vast majority will be as effectually shut out of the government as

at Tarrytown. The Rev. Daniel Russell, pastor of the Irvlngton Presbyterian church, who performed the marriage ceremony, prompted them In their replies and instructed the attendants in the roles they were to play, The wedding was marked by simplicity. Good taste instead of ostentatious display was the keynote. Fewer than seventy-five guests, all these either relatives or close friends of the couple, were present. they were under the Manchu emperors. But in time the franchise restrictions will be relaxed and finally removed, if China is to remain a republic That is the law of national development which holds good In all countries, under any form of popular ( sovereignty. j WRITER says marrieo. women should not be spineless.
