THE SHAM OF IT. What a joke some of the election laws of Indiana are was brought to light yesterday at the Gary democratic "primaries." Wholesale thefts
of voting, repeating, police intimida
tion and Tom Knotts overriding the election sheriffs were the features of the day. The whole proceedings were saturated with rank highhandness dishonesty. In no progressive state where there are decent primary and election laws is such outlawry tolerated. What kind of laws has the state of Indiana got when armed police at the behest of a brazen officeseeker, whose head is turned with power, can go in and trample upon the law?
(Kan.) policeman has to undergo. There members of the force must be
able to run 100 yards in 16 seconds
or less. This is a civil service regu
lation based upon the theory that offenders against the law usually are fast runners. Along that line of argument it occurs there ought to be fat men on the force. Handy to stand still and stop runaways. How many Hammond cops could do a hundred in 16 flat or 20 flat?

LONDON WOMEN'S GOWNS. The other night I nearly swooned when my astonished eyes lighted upon a little lady whose dress was slit to the knee. She was wearing fan
tastic lace stockings so lllmy in texture that the marvel is how on earth
she ever got into them or out of them. Her dress was so tight that she could not have put one foot be
fore the other if it had not been slit. It was really a case of the glad' knee weeting the glad" neck. But nobody seemed to be startled. There is no knowing where the modish. woman is
going to stop, in her revelations.
"Not Cleopatra on her galley's deck Display'd so much of leg, nor more of neck." It is this lack of discretion that

cobwebs. Where is the satin ball
gown that ued to be stiff enough to
stand up by itself? Where are the
stately brocades and majestic vel

TIME FOR MORE BUNK.
Time for the Indianapolis Star to
hail that decision of the United
States supreme court establishing the
right of a state to fix railroad rates
witntn tne Dorder lines or reason, as
another "Great Progreslve vrcrory."
Yet a majority of the members of
that same court, we believe, are ap
pointees of William Howard Taft
that hopeless reactionary and tool of
the "speshul intrusts." What a lot of lying has been go
ing on with reference to Taft, the
republican party and the federal
courts. We are again reminded that
political necessity is the mother of
invention. Muncie Press.
fairy from day
THE CONSIDERATE NEWSPAPER.
Names are frequently left out of articles published in newspapers to protect innocent parties and for no
other reason. There is no intent nor
desire to show partiality. When a husband and father gets into some disgraceful entanglement his name is usually omitted owing to the humiliation it would cause his perfectly innocent wife and children. Painesville Telegraph.
SELF-TOLD FAIRY TALES. That many normal people indulge in what he termed "autistic thinking," or "seeing life in fantastic pictures," is the statement recently made by Professor E. Rleuler, of Zurich, at the Henry Phipps paychiatric clinic, in Boston.
"The normal man has his tales when he was withdrawn the world, when he dreams
dreams. At other times he hides the fairy tale, not only from strangers but from himself. "To the insane man the fairy tale is real. He lives it. The understanding of autistic thinking !s
necessary to .the study or morbid mental conditions. "If we cannot heal the defective brain like we can a broken bone, we can at least send it out into the world improved and able to earn a living." One of these self-told fairy talc; is that the democrats will elect the next mayor of Hammond without the stiffest fight ever made in the city's history.
I note in Monday's Chicago American an excellent editorial reference to the fact that the railroads of the United States are responsible for the rather stern and uncompromising attitude of the public toward them. As a matter of fact, even more could be said and more postively said along this line and in support of the position of the State of New Jersey
that the railroads must protect th? lives of the citizens at the murderous railway crossings. Unquestionably the railroads must conduct all their business with dun regard for the safety of the public, and they must take at their own expense the steps necessary to INSURE
the safety of the public.
Mr. Rea's suggestion that the pub
lic pay for making the grade crossings safe is no more just than would be a suggestion that the public pay
for safety couplings, or steel cars.
Of course, the public pays for
everything indirectly, but that is one reason and a good reason why it should not pay again directly.
If the railroads had issued less
watered stock they would have less dividends to pay on water and would have enough money to keep up their
equipment and modernize their con
ditions generally.
If they had spent less in subsidiz
ing Senators and bribing bosses, corrupting public service commissions and debauching the people's govern
ment they would have more money to spend in conducting the legitimate functions of their business'and maintaining satisfactory relations- with the public.
OF ALL THE BRIBING. BULLY
ING, CORRUPTING AND INTIMI
DATING INFLUENCES IN THE UNITED STATES, THE WORST HAVE BEEN THE RAILROADS, and among the worst of the railroads, alongside the New York Central with its "public be damned" policy, and the New York & New Haven with its record "of monopolistic extortion, staifds the Pennsylvania Railroad, the convicted crony of Quay and acknowledged accomplice of Archbold in political corruption. The Pennsylvania Railroad and the Standard Oil Company have made a rotten borough of the whole State of Pennsylvania a borough so rotten that the state is known throughout the nation and throughout the world as a fearful example of the destructive evil of corrupt money in politics. But, like most bullies, the railroads are cowards, and, after having kicked the public when it was down now beg for mercy when the people
are rising to a proper position of
strength and power.
The railroads speak of "justice," but that is the last thing they want. THEY WANT NO JUSTICE THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL. NO JUDGE THAT THEY DO NOT OWN. Thus Mr. Rea asks that this question of safeguarding the railroad

Louisville negro who confessed to the
killing of W. H. Fielder of Bedford, a Bloomington Southern Railroad contractor on the night of May SI.
The trial was started yesterday morning and the Jury was given the case at 6 o'clock, after going to supper. The jury took but one. ballot when it arrived at a verdict giving the negro a life sentence in the Michigan City Prison. The finding was for murder in the second degree.

ATHLETIC POLICEMEN. Large, fat men in as little clothing as the law allows, running around Harrison Park circle and larding the lean earth, is what should happen to a few Hammond pol icemen pushing bay windows in front of themselves. To remedy these defects the bluecoats weighing around the two hundred and fifty pound mark should try to reduce and incidentally amuse the populace at the same time. They think it's hard but it's
SOUTHERN SUPREMACY. The times have changed. The "southern brigadiers" are in the saddle as they have not been since the days of Pierce and Buchanan, and nobody seems fb care. What a waving of the bloody shirt there would have been if, twenty years ago, all the important chairmanships but one in the lower house
of congress had been given to southoners. But now the announcement of the house committee lists, turning
over the organization of that bodyalmost wholly to representatives of the southern and border states, has failed to bring forth a single protest or even attract much attention. The North has changed and the South has changed. The differences betwen them have almost disappeared. As a tariff revisionist, Mr. Underwood is far more moderate than Roger Q. Mills was. Chairman Sim-
tee is even classed as a semi-protec
tionist. In a few days the veteran"
of the Union and Confederate armies
will meet and shake hands across wttat is left of the trenches on the
field of Gettysburg. The quiet acceptance by the couutry of southern supremacy in Washington was the last thing needed to demonstrate the fact that the wounds inflicted by the terrible struggle of the '60's have almost entirely healed.
THE DRINK QUESTION THERE
America has not a monoply of the' discussion over the drink question by!
any means. in London, too, tne wheel of fashion has turned in the matter of drinks. Champagne now
takes a back seat, and claret, mosel'ej
and whiskey and soda are the drink of the moment. But temperance is also a current craze. Barley-water in special "brews" may be found at many of the fashionable clubs, while grape juice and buttermilk are growing in favor. A few very smart men drink plain water. Beer is seldom seen at dinner or luncheon, but iced larger beer is popular at balls and late parties.
LID YOU KNOW IT! While eight of the greatest nations of the world are discussing and agreeing to the peace plans of Secretary of State Bryan, of the United States, it is a noteworthy fact that Belgium is putting more stress than ever upon the organization of her army. It is not generally known that Belgium with a population of scarcely 7,000,000, will have the greatest army in the world in proportion to the number inhabitants. The Belgium Parliament has just passed a bill requiring that every man of 20 be trained to bear arms. This will raise the war footing of the army to 340,000. At present Montenegro has the largest army in pro-
