Ed Howe of Topeka, Kan., who is now traveling In New Zealand, has found the old fashioned man who used to use hair oil, bo report haa it, and no doubt Ed feels partially repaid for all his trouble and expense in going so far from home. How times hare changed since our boyhood days when hair oil was as necessary in the house as lamp oil, when our uncles

used to comb their hair by parting it down the back of the heads and turn

ing it around up forward over their

ears. They were the forward-look

AN AMERICAN "MARTYR." A California woman abroad whose kind heartedness outran her judgment came near precipitating an international complication by demanding government interference on behalf of another American woman who was "being tortured in Holloway Jail." The "martyr" is a Miss Eraersoii, a militant suffragette, who is serving a term for smashing windows and "beating up a bobby." She went on a hunger strike and was forcibly fed wtlh a tube to prevent starvation. An unemotional English Magistrate sentenced her to two month arter the policeman testified, that Miss Emerson, in addition to window smashing with Miss Pankhurst, had kicked him on the shins and "bashed" his nose and called him "hawful, 'orrible nymes." - The matter was further complicated by some of the prisoner's friends hiring a deaf cornetist to stand outaide the jail and cheer her with the strains of the"Star Spangled Banner." Unable to hear the muttered protests the unfortunate musician kept on playing the air until the mob jumped on him and smashed his instrument. There will be no complications. Think, though, of what might have happened if a British subject locked up here for breaking the laws was serenaded by a brass band playing "God Save the King" outside the Tombs. But let's draw the veil.

wont be anything left of them. A MAN can grow up to be president in this country but the chances of his ever having enough money to become ambassador are few and far between. .

THE PROVISIONING PROBLEM.

Gary is tackling the provisioning

problem with characteristic energy

Its citizens have taken steps to build

a city market. Now the Gary com

mercial club is making a plea for the local consumption of Lake county

farm products so that the wealth of

its cities may be diverted from the

South Water Btreet. provision market

to local commission houses..

President H. S. Norton, in a charac

teristically vigorous letter risks THE

TIMES to aid Gary to call the atten

tion of the farmers to the presence.

in close proximity to their farms, of a

rich cash market for their products.

Gary's problem is East Chicagos' and It Is also Hammond's so the following

letter will be of general interest: "Gary. Ind., April 2, 1913. "Editor TIMES:

"Will you give the Commercial

Club of Gary space In your valued

paper to acquaint the farmers of your

district with the needs of Gary? Our

city has a population of 40,000 which will double within a few years and

then double again. Every pound of

food consumed has to be brought in

to the city. We can raise practically

nothing In Gary. Up to this time.

South Water street. Chicago, in an

other state, has furnished Gary's food supply with the result that we have had to pay excessive prices for inferior goods. "At our very doors, to the east and south, is the best farming country in the United States, from which this growing city and in fact the entire Calumet district, desires to be fed. We want your milk, poultry and eggs, meats, garden produce, the fruits of your orchards, ets., in exchange for our money. We offer you

a practically unlimited cash market,

right at your doors, giving you a rare opportunity for the most profitable of all farming. "The best of highways now lead in

to Gary. Interurbans reach out from

our city in every direction, ready to bring in your supplies. We have commission houses which will handle them and retailers and consumers who are eager for them. A great public market is being established in the heart of Gary, with the sanction

of the city authorities, to which you

can bring or send your product for sale. Gary and surrounding district is ready to buy everything in the way of food which you can raise and will

be glad of the chance.

"Will you farmers not meet us half way and In your spring planting prepare to supply the needs of our people? "The secretary of the Gary Commercial Club will be pleased to answer all inquiries as to market

conditions, as far as he Is able, and

we will gladly welcome the fa rmera

of Lake, Porter and Laporte counties at the rooms of the Gary Commercial club, No. 615 Broadway, at any time.

Come and see us, and bring or send us

something to eat.

ATTITUDE TOWARD FRIEDMANN

The change in the attitude of public sentiment toward Dr. Friedmann, the German specialist on tuberculosis, has been remarkable. When he first

arrived in New York he was regarded

with extreme skepticism, If not sus

picion. He has worked under great

difficulty and constant criticism, but

physicians who have been following his treatment which he claims nosi-

tlvely cures tuberculosis declare that

he has won greater confidence by his persistence, than the could have accomplished by answering the attacks

against him. It seems to be the general opinion that one who had not

faith in his remedies would not have

continued their use so persistently.

Palladium says: "The Palladium believes the school board should be commended for its decision to stand pat on its refusal to take the initial step for creating a fund to pension teachers under the provisions of the teachers' pension act, passed ,by the last legislature, which appears to be unconstitutional and which is certainly most unfair to the taxpayers of Richmond. .

public servants as teachers, police-'

men and firemen who have become incapacitated for service through accident, disease or the infirmities of old age, but It most positively is against any pensioning plan (and it believes it Is reflecting popular opin-j ion in this opposition) which retires' public servants in the prime of life at' the expense of the taxpayers. i "The Palladium believes that a law which would permit Superintendent T. A. Mott to retire from service with the Richmond public schools on an annual pension of $430 and permit him to draw a salary of $1,500 as superintendent of the Seymour, Indiana, schools, is absolutely unjust

to the people of Richmond, but this is precisely what he would be permitted to do if a school teachers' pension fund was created in Richmond. And

we find Mr. Mott advocating the creation of such a fund. "An inspection of the teachers' pension law for cities with popula-' tions varying from 20,000 to 100,000 reveals the following provisions.' Read them and judge for yourself if you think they are fair to the public which must pay an additional 2 1-2

cents tax levy to carry them out, and ceveive no direct returns on the same. "Teachers who have served between twenty and thirty years mav

be retired at any time within the period specified and receive a pension if the pension fund commission decides they are entitled to receive such reward. As teachers in this class cannot withdraw the money they have paid into the pension fund, as teachers who have served less than twenty years can, and as the majority of the commission and teachers, it Is reasonable to presume that applicants in this class who would be refused pensions would be few and far befween. Practically all teachers who would retire after service varying from twenty to thirty years would still be in the prime of life and could accept positions elsewhere without sacrificing the pension they would draw out of the school funds of Richmond. "Teachers who have served more than thirty years can retire at any time on a pension, even though they hare been convicted of a felony."

THE members of the new cabinet were boyishly hilarious at their first meeting. Now they look under the table, at every unusual sound, expecting to see an office seeker there.

OFFICERS WILL FACE TRIAL.

Officers William Blttins and William Bowles, (of Crawford! vllle, who were suspended when it was charged they went to Indianapolis S-nd returned late and under the influence of liquor, will have a hearing today before the board of safety. According to a' member of the board the invest gation will not only cover the Indianapolis trip, but will go back about three months, during which time other breaches of discipline are said to have occurred. James Green and L. A. Lyor s have been appointed to fill the placs of the suspended officers. HINT FOR ESCAPED BEAR. Farmers living near Garfield, four mile snorth of Crawfordsvllle, organized a bear hunt when a traveling bruin appeared on the farm of George Enoch.

It Is not known from whence It escaped. The farmers in the vicinity were called by telephone and the first ones to answer the calls were able to get several shots at the bear before it fled. It is not believed that the animal was even wounded and people in the immediate neighborhood stayed close within their homes last night. "DRVS" WIW BY TEX VOTES. Cleveland Township, in which South Whitley is located, has voted "dry" by ten votes and a contest will be made. The vote, light because of floods, was "dry" 321, "wet" 812. Grounds for contest include late opening of polls, assertions that election, boards closed voting places while they went to dinner and that polls wera closed at S o'clock when voters were waiting to

cast their balolts. Four years ago the "drys" carried Cleveland Township by 362 and two years ago it went dry by remonstrance. FOUR ARE FROM RICHMOND. Four Richmond people were drowned in the recent floods, one at Peru and three at Dayton. The Peru victim was Bert Smith. The Dayton victims were Mrs. Pearl Briscoe, John MeConnell, colored, and A. McCafferty, colored! Since Saturday more than eighty tons of supplies have been shipped to Dayton and Hamilton and the total amount sent these cities will exceed 100 tons. TRIAL OF PARKER BEGINS. The trial of Clarence Tarker. of New-

castle, charged with killing Irvln Whito

at Richmond on the night of Feb. 1. was opened yesterday. A jury was impaneled before noon. Trosecutor H. H. Evans, who made the opening statement, contended that the state would

be able to prove that the crime was cold-blooded and said the state would insist on the infliction of the death penalty. Prosecutor Will W. Reiter of Wayne County is assisting Evans. The trouble, which resulted In the charge of murder, occurred in a saloon in Richmond and the alleged assault took place near the T. M. C. A. building some blocks distant. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Miss Margaret Ward, a prominent young woman of Laporte, died last night aa a result of a stroke of lightning. She had been suffering from heart trouble for some time and had an attack at the time of the flash from which she recovered apparently, but was found dead in bed yesterday morning.
