It must be admitted that the chorus ladies in some of the com panies that have gone there from the states are somewhat passe. AT least Edison's new kinetODhone can not possibly be any more painfull than the efforts of the pianist and the man with the noise-makers to accompany the action of the moving pictures. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER, The Hammond Times remarks: "In a few weeks Mayor K. M. Woscsynski, Clerk Ignatius ManKokskl and a number of dererving aldermen will go before the people of west Hammond for the renomlnation and reelection which will amount to a vote of confidence.'

THE TIMES reflects the opinions of its readers and the community at large when it declares in favor of Sunday theatres. Last Sunday at the Hammond and Orpheum theatres ap proximately 3,500 people paid ad missions to these play houses. It is probable that an addition 2,500 peo-

The thea tre has been- the only competitor of the saJa for the spare change and the idle time of the non-church goer. The cHurch swings open its massive doors in the morning, it welcomes the faithful and an hour later it is closed, An hour in the evening, excepting for Sunday and school, prayer meeting and young people's meeting, constitutes the extent to which the average church investment actually pays re turns. The rest of time the congregation Is excluded. There is not a protestant church in the city that Is open to its members for more than 12 out of the 168 hours of the week. The rest of the time the church property is a dead investment. Any Catholic church is open from six in the morning until sir at' night; and even later if there are services, The noint ia that tha rhh an, to provide. the entertainment that keeps the minds of the Individual occuoied on Sundav- th dav fit roat an A recreation On the south side in c.hlm n White, the pastor of an independent churchs, makes it a practice to give a secular lecture every Sunday even mg on travel, merauire, nistory or most any non-religious subject. These lectures are illustrated by stereopti pan and moving nicturen Snrre music is sung by the choir and the congregation. Fifteen cents admission is charged. The result is that this is one church in which the "S R O ' sign is hung out nightly. - It is impossble to accomodate the crowds wheh seek admission. The church Is a business as well as a religious sue cess. There is no excuse in that com munity for attending the theatre on Sunday for there is not a person in it who could not be dellgb.tfu.lly entertained and instructed by Rev White's famous lectures. There is not a student of conditions in an industrial cemmunity like" this who will not admit that it is neces sary in the interests of peace and quiet,' of law and order, to say noth ing of the moral well being of the people of this community, that they have something on Sunday in the way of a diversion to take up their time and thoughts.

THE PARTY PRESS The Indiana democratic editors,f in convention assembled last week, decided that the editors of the party papers were entitled to something better as a return for. their services than a subscription to the Congres sional Record, an annual'copy of the Agricultural Year Book, a few pack ages of garden seeds in the planting season, and a lot of oratorical posies irom the party leaders at editorial banquet. you can bet your galluses the democratic editors are entitled to something better tnan garden seeds, Tney have for the past decade kept the democratic party front croaking and being encoffined. The; have lead the forlorn hope when the rest of the flannel-mouthed wind-jammers who are now moving I heaven and earth to tget the off ices I couidn t even squeak to do anything for the party. I Editors do the work for politicians I and the latter get the glory. When an editor tries to edge his way to the pie counter, some big stiff kicks him in the shins and nuts him h nra du combat, if the editor tri tn. monstrate he gets It where Nellie wears the beads. Incidentally there is much speculation in Hammond as to who should have the Hammond postofflce when Postmaster Schaaf "s term of office expires. " There ought to be no Specula tion- whatever about it. If there Is any man in Hammond In 1 the democratic party who is entitled to the job it is S. E. Swaim, editor of! the Hammond News. For over -: 20 years he has stood the gaff and been! in the thick of the fight for the democratic party and the pickings have been mighty slim. If there is any gratitude and any favor to be distributed in this vicinity for keep-1 ing the party faith Editor Swaim is entitled to it and there isn't a broadminded man .who will deny it. If Congressman-elect J. B. Peterson wishes to recognize party fealty he will make no bones about appoint Mr. Swaim and if this be yellow journal ism make the most of it. OH, yes, here's something to remember. WThen a man calls vou a and a and then - i some, don't get angry.

Nothing is easier, than ttt ry out against the sacrifice of heroes In the tragedy of the Scott expedition to tB South Pole. It Is the natural, the obvious view. The goal sought bad already been reached by the Nor wegian explorer, Captain Aniundsen, and such additions to the knowledge of the globe as might come from that source had been gained. And it IS a simple matter to ridicule the whole quest ot science in the most remote and fearful wastes of Ice and snow on the face of the earth But is this judgment sound? Is it fair? Does it correspond with the facts? Is the world no richer 'for the heroic death of the men who won their way to the South Pole and then perished on their return toward their stores and their places of refuge to wait for the ship which was to carry them back to civilization? How much is it worth to mankind to have such an object lesson of courage and fortitude? WTiat is the true value of an inspiring and thrillin tale of desperate battling against the elements," largely for the express purpose of proving tmtaat there were no barriers formidable enons-h an tht Dtanet to keen men fmm iaH their feet and their flag on any spot they might seek? Think what Captain Scott's victory in defeat and death in triumph will mean to British schoolboys, for all time to come. Picture the flush and glow of millions of young faces when they read how the Union Jack was carried to the South Pole, even at the price of the lives of the heroes who bore it there It all goes back to the elemental Question of the effect upon the char acter of-the race, the manhood of the world. If that Is fine and high, if it kindles new 'and lofty aspirations In sluggish breasts and fills multitudes of men with a new .desire to prove themselves equal to any call of duty, any promise of worthy. fame, then the cost of the Scott expedition was not heavy, if weighed in the balance with its benefits, SHE SAW THROUGH HIM.

Fifty thousand male suffragettes today stormed the nation.il Capitol demanding equal right for men. The president issued an order through her secretary to have the local garrison prepared for reserve duty. Each soldier was given an emergency can of talcum powder and a portable mirror. Exciting scenes were witnessed in Wall street when the police were called out to arrest 2,000 angry men. The rioters were recalcitrant at first, tearing the puffs and rats from some of the cops. Suffragettes arrested In London de- j dare that they will not eat until man j gets his rights. Legislatures of the several states , may consider mafe suffrage as soon as the spring millinery styles have been announced. Male suffrage Is making some headway out in California, where a handsome young man has succeeded in getting elected alderman. "Women have oppressed us long enough," declared one sad-eyed suffragette. "We peel the potatoes, tend to the children and keep house, but when it comes to voting we are classed with babies, lunatics and convicts." In several parts of England some ot the suffragettes have become so rabid that they threaten to demolish alt manicure, cigarette and corset shops and no officeholder is safe When she wears a picture hat. .C.OOD GROt ND FOR SLAXDKR.

The mind of Miss Myrtle House of Shelbyvllle Is a blank today, the result ot injuries received in a fall on the ice while out with a skating part yesterday. At first aha remained In a semiconscious condition and the physician said ah was suffering from brain concussion. Today, however, she appeared conscious and rational, with the exception that she could not recall anything of her past life or the accident in which she suffered, and it is feared her condition may remain serious. She is employed as a bookkeeper at the Hoop Brothers drug store. NOTED ACTOR M'.AR DEATH. The condition of Charles Major at Shelby vllle remains unchanged except that he Is gradually growing weaker.

Hoping to solve the high cost of living problem, twenty-five head of families at Kentland today organiced the Home Supply Company, the purpose Of which will be to purchase the various articles of food commonly used In such quantities as are necessary and distribute the same to the members of the company at actual cost. Officers 1 were elected to serve, without pay, for j three months, at the end ot which i period others will be chosen to take thelr places. Thus the work of carry ing out the scheme will be "passed around." New members who will abide by the rules will be welcomed. While local provision dealers say they will soon tire of the plan and will find that It does not pay, the members are enthusiastic and certain of success. ADVERTISE ANT AGAIN IN THE TIMES. ADVERTISE
