Will or will not the suffragettes take this as a warning? LET us hope that Tommy Marshall will not carry his democratic slmplici ty so far that his simplicity will over shadow his democracy and make him a joke. OUCH. Missouri is tickled to death because President Wilson had no inaugural ball. Tbe proletariat has been heard from in no uncertain way -4n the columns of the Grant City (Mo.) Times. Being naturally gallant we pass up what is said about the quality of the fair sex attending such functions and quote the editorial brother on the lords of creation. Here it is: "Men wear clawhammer coats and vests that are all cut away except the seam, and they expose a broad expanse filled with crackers and cheese bought at a corner tencent grocery and covered with a shirt borrowed at a Chinese iaun- -dry. They wear two story silk hats that cover brains not larger than a peewee carries. These old pelicans ' and dodoes bow, scrape and geegaw like "the inhabitants ,of a well stocked aviary. We won with Wilson and he is wise." ON looking at a statue of Ceres the other day in Philadelphia, Vice President Marshall said: "If we had her out in Indiana we'd put corsets on her.' Perhaps we would and perhaps we wouldn't Mr. Vice President! Ceres was a beauty. HAVE you j'our new auto yet? What, not. yet? And Mr. Wilson .president 24 hours? What's the matter with the good times we were going to have? LAWYER FROM COLUMBIA CITY. Surrounded by the pomp of the great world of Washington the scene in the senate chamber Tuesday noon must have had a deep significance to the new vice president. To be translated from the quiet walk of the humble law office in a country town to the presiding chair of the most important and most dignified legislative body in the world within the space of a few years could not have failed to make lasting impression upon the central figure in the

There were not many substantial im provements on the street at the time and it could easily have been done. Crimp artists said, ".What does the little town of Hammond want with a wider street. It is too wide now." HOHMAN STREET MAY SOON LOSE ITS COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE WHEN CALUMET AVENUE GETS STARTED. 2. About ten years ago A. F, Knotts lead a splendid campaign in ine legislature in tne interests or a harbor at Wolf Lake, a project that would have made Hammond the most important lake port in ndiana. OP POSITION IN HAMMOND KILLED THE MEASURE AND INDIANA HARBOR AND OARY NOW. OUT SHINE HAMMOND IN RESPECT TO THEIR harbor facilities. 3. Fifteen years ago State Line street in Hammond was as important as Hohman street. In fact it looked as though State Line street would be the important north and south street of that community. OPPOSITION TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE STREET AND A LACK OF CIVIC PRIDE WHICH PERMITTED CON SCIENCELESS INDIVIDUALS TO ERECT HOUSES IN THE STREET MADE PROGRESSIVE MEN TURN TO HOMAN ST. INSTEAD. Values have remained he same on State Line street for twenty-five years and in that time Hohman street property owners have made fortunes. 4. East State street and East Sibley street were once touted, as the future residential district of Ham mond. HOMEWOOD WAS BUILT AROUND HARRISON PARK WITH THE CITY BEAUTIFUL EVER IN VIEW AND VALUES THERE HAVE EVER INCREASED WHILE THEY REMAINED STATIONARY IN THE EASTERN PORTION OF HAMMOND. 5. The South Shore interurban officials wanted to build their main line down Indiana avenue. They proposed to give Hammond the benefit of the best traction system that was ever built into the region.

The chance for the modern illumination of the business district. PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES. 1. The opportunity of the city of Hammond to own a mile of municipal docks along the east side of Calumet avenue at Lake George and thus make Hammond a "free" port. 2 The opportunity of the people of West Hammond to open up Burnham avenue and put that city in touch with the Industries at Hegewisch and Burnham. 3. The opportunity of the city of Hammond to bring about the improve ment of Fifth avenue from Cline ave nue to Gibson and thence into Hammond thus creating a short Intercity thoroughfare. 4. The opportunity of Hammond to bring about the construction of an interurban line to Crown Point and Lowell and thus permit its merchants to get in touch with the wealth of the agricultural districts. 5. The opportunity of Hammond to build a combined city market and interurban terminal and decrease the cost of living. 6. The opportunity to get rid of the Erie yards. OPPORTUNITIES EMBRACED. 1. The extension of Calumet avenue on a straight line through Lake George. 2. The building of Harrison Park. . 3. The building of the country club. 4. The locating of many industries to replace the G.

Dear me, paw where can you get a better educator than marriage? TEACHERS OF GEOGRAPHY. The teacher of geography in Ameri can normal schools is apparently a versatile person. According to in formation compiled by the United States Bureau of Education, the teacher of this subject generally has it assigned to him as one of a number of different subjects. In only 26 out of 233 public normal schools is there a teacher who teaches geography and nothing else. In two public normal schools the geography teacher handles ten other subjects. Eight other subjects besides geography are taught by the same teacher, in three normal schools, and seven in the case of four others. Many of the schools allot five and six sub jects with geography to the same teacher. In private normal schools similar versatility is required; geography frequently occurs as one of seven or eight subjects in charge of one teacher. Generally the subjects are more or less closely related, but sometimes they embrace several widely divergent fields. Geography and history form a frequent and natural combina tion, as do geography and nature study. Geography and drawing are sometimes combined. On the other hand, music is added to these com binations, with the effect of broaden ing the requirement considerably. THE New York appellate court disbarred one lawyer and suspended another. Still the sheepskin will be Just as easy to get as ever and undesirables continue being admitted to the bar.

ill W c LIBERTY OF THE PRESS. Among the other constitutional rights guaranteed the American peo - pie is liberty of the press. This is as it should be. Where liberty of the press exists, tyranny can not survive. The press has always been the guardian of the people's rights. It ia the herald which calls the people to arms against hostile enemies and secret foes. The press of America has sustained the higher standard set for it from ithe beginning. The men M ho edit an American newspaper are free menj They are Americans and patriotic

citizens. They are almost witnout'(amount 0I knowledge

exception self-made men, educated in the print shop and the printing offce. They unite a knowledge of practical j affairs and life, with a knowledge of theeories and books. This combination Is now , recognized- as the best system of education. Nevertheless you will find men in every community who would, if they had the power, divert the power of .the press to their own advantage. It is needless to state that the time will never come when any one individual or group of individuals will for any length of time conduct a newspaper for their own advantage. A news-, naner ia a child of the neonle. It will advance with the people and the ad - vance is toward a greater freedom. Goshen News-Times. . WE don't know what Gov.

WHAT HE LEARNED BY "BACHING" Said a county district judge the other day: i ,"I have noticed that I gained at least one thing by seven years "baching" as a boy. I learned to take care , Jot things instead of having a patientwoman iorever cleaning up me nuti I made. "Whenever I see a man throw his garments about the -house for someone to.,hang up, or leave a basin of water standing after washing, for others to clean up.'i am thankful that in hardship I learned to take care of myself."

That is meagre diet indeed for starving patriots. A LITTLE MONEY. The truly successful man ia he who cultivates all of his qualities, one who nas no ambition to become very rich, but who 'acquires- a reasonable All the money in the world cannot buy contentment or happiness, but a iittle money goes a long ways toward making the Ideal man. VIRGINIA Brooks will now have to return to her daily tedium of reforming West Hammond. SHOP GIRLS. Some interesting developments may result in the probe of the Illinois legjislative comittee investigation into the white slavery business. Several Chicago . department store owners haye been summoned to tell of the wages they pay their eirl employes. It is a notorious fact that some of the Chicago stores pay insufficient wages and if there is any broader path to the downward course this is one of them Many white slave com mittee investigations testify to this. An expose of some of the department store philanthropists who illy 'pay their female help may result in eliminating the unmoral and souless allitude of certain wealthy tnercnant,3.

TO be perfjeclhy in accord with the new administration it will be necessary to say that Drj Wilson gets his new title "cum laude." WHILE tM days are getting longer there is no' disposition on the part of the coal bill to get shorter. NOW that the tango trot has reached liammond, the j35-cent hair cut has struck Laporte and Willum Jennings Bryan has at last got a job. maybe the Illinoy democrats will be able to see a couple of senators. SOME HOPE FOR HIM NOW. (Waynetown correspondence to the Crawfordsville Journal.) Charlie Stockdale has secured a divorce from Attica and returned to tbe land of steady habits. WHEN a feller goes to bed these days he hardly knows whether the next day will inspire green onions or result in a dive for the arctics. WE may mention in passing that Mr. Bierwagon has a suit in the county courts. CURRENT news in Gary is that the common council is going to investigate the kind of electricity its light company is furnishing. , ANOTHER PRINTER WITH AR TERIO-8CL.KROS1S. (From the Elkhart Truth.) Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Mather, formerly Orleans fqrshrdluetaoinSrtashrdluth of Elkhart, sailed Saturday from New Orleans, for Colon, Panama. where they will be joined by J. D. Mather of Memphis. LAXTRY JEEN L.IBBET writes of the bashful bridegroom. No one ever heard of the bashful bride. IF any one thinks that he is indispensable In holding down his job let him reflect that the presidency is always filled without any great upheaval. SENATE silverware was locked up during the inaugural ceremonies. This is strange. Hadn't heard that any of the Gary city hall contracting combine had gone down to Washington. ALTHOUGH the legislature failed to legalize Sunday shows, it is hardlyprobable that the local mayer will be called upon to close the motion picture dispensaries. DIVINE Sarah Bernhardt says hus bands should! supervise clubs for wo men. This is asking too much. Hus bands of club women have enough to do superintending nursery duties for them. LAPORTE Argus-Bulletin says that one of the hopeful signs of the times is that Porter county has at last got a democratic judge. And another hopeful sign oil the times is ,that the new governor Jf Indianny doesn't let the editor of ttte A-B open the doors of the State prison ifoi a lot of rascals every time a sentimental thought comes to hand. j STRANGE; lights reported seen in the hills of Nor jt h Caroilny. .

IF you can't afford an auto this spring then have the consolation that the vice president of the United States can't even afford to biy the gasoline. IN case any local democratic officeseekers can't Quote from any of Mr. Wilson's books the low-brows may cover up their lack of knoweldge by addressing-him with his various degrees. Ph. D., Lite D., S. B., LL. D.. A. B., and LL. B., etc., appended to his name. Thus Woodrow will think that the letter Is from some college professor. RELIGION' IX KKSrt'CKV, (From the Salyersville Mountaineer.) A member of last Sunday night's congregation said during the prayer instepped a 13-year-old chap, Scrub Bowers, as drunk, as a loon. A good sermon was preached, the minister talked that the end of time waa near, and at the end of the sermon some one out in the street dismissed the congregation with a .45. ' GREAT CAESAR! RYE AND " BYE MERE MAN WILL HAVE TO WEAR A PETTICOAT DlSGt'ISE. (From a cable dispatch.) London, March 3. One solitaryman who succeeded in getting into a meeting of militant suffragettes at the Pavilion theatre early this afternoon was roughly . handled. The Pavilion is a cheap theatre, where the admission fee to the regular per-, formances is from threepence to a shilling. The suffragettes immediately took the man in hand. Fifty of them pounced upon him, dragged him around the hall and punched and pinched him. Then they tried to drag him to the platform for the amusement of the meeting; from which all men bad been barred. The man lost his temper and prevented the women from carrying him on the platform by a display of strength and violence. He was not allowed to escape, however, until he had receiver! further rough treatment, was thrown to the floor and finally pitched into the street through 'a side door. -, Effete thing to do now if you want to be in style is to say "dorg" Instead of dog. The Hon. Walter Edwards of the Aetna kennels will please be governed accordingly. ' ALTHOUGH the democrats hive been in more than 48 hours, we haven't noticed that the price of bacon ia any lower, that tfcere is a marked reduction in eggs nor that the gtoceryman ia selling sugar for 4 cents a pound. IF the barbers of Israel had raised the price of hair cutting to 35 cents without a doubt the natives would have done like the La Porteans did the, other day and every male would have had his locks and alfalfa trimmed before the raise went into effect and the chances are that Absalom wouldn't have been caught in the tree. ; EVEN the old-fashioned nickel ia passing.
