The Journal of the American Medi cal association has laid its profaning hand upon the common towel and says it is full of germs. We deem It unnecessary to say anything in de fense of THE TIMES' printing office towels. They are strong enough to take care of themselves against any attacks of the medical profession and are abundantly able to stand alone. 0RIGNIATED HERE. "Safety First," a slogan which travelers now see painted along vari ous railroad right of ways, calls attention to the great extent of the safety campaign. In Chicago safety campaigns are being conducted among school children so as to lesswn street accidents, the coroner is head ing an auto safety campaign, and the newspapers are urging traction safety rules. The safety campaign originally itarted in the Calumet region. It was

Such results were obtained that the princlpllea were adopted in all plants of the United States Steel corporation, eluding those at Gary. Then, other corporations, mainly railways, took up safety campaigns with the result that countless lives have been saved and millions of dollars gained. Safety has been confined to general fields. Its value being realized the scope is now extending rapidly. A THREE VOLUME NOVEL. "He won me with bright lights, wine and music," says a woman In a divorce suit, "and when I went away with him I found It was a case of bread and cheese and kisses with mighty few kisses." The witness has the art of condensation down fine; There is a whole three volume novel in that sentence. 'WARE FOOD FAKERS. Beware of freak diets and of fakers calling themselves food experts. Eat what you want when you feel like It, giving attention to cleanliness and wholesome cooking. This is the official advice of the Department of Agriculture In a wani ng to the public issued as a result of n investigation Just finished by gov ernmental specialists Into the operations of self-styled "experts in dietetics." No reference to Dr. Wiley, of course. Obliged for the permission to eat what we like if we think it's clean, but what does the label "Guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug3 Act" really mean? HAMMOND PLATFORMS. THE TIMES this week, for the benefit of its Hammond readers particularly, gave space setting forth the platforms of the various political parties in Hammond. Platforms may mean much or little, It depends on the integrity of the party submitting the declaration of principles. It may be frankly stated that the platforms of the republican the progressive and, the socialist parties all contain something to wnicn every voter m tne city can sub scribe. As for the democratic party in Hammond he is left completely In the dark as that party apparently has neither principles nor a creed which it has seen fit to make public. The republican platform is a prac tical document on which any set of officials in a city hall could go to work with a constructive policy. It was this party which recommended that Immediate steps be taken to deed a right of way to the federal government for the straightening and widening of the Grand Calumet river. At the Chamber of Commerce the other evening, this was pronounced one of the most important things in the city for its general prosperity. The republican platform has a dozen tangible propositions, such rs parks, track elimination, better mail delivery, the improvement of the water works system," a new bridge over the Grand Calumet river, and the cooperation of republican city officials with civic and local Improvement bodies in its platofrm. The progressive platform it set forth in fourteen paragraphs, the most striking of which are the one dealing with the divorcement of municipal affairs from national politics and another pledging the party to work for the commission form of government. The platform Is sane on municipal ownership of public utilities. This paragraph reads: "We favor the municipal own ershlp of public utilities as soon es conditions arise as would Justify such ownership and the financial condi tiors of out city will warrant such action." The Immediate demands of the socialist party are practical and are worthy of consideration by any party

WHEN one hears that Governor Sulzer has worn the same stylo of clothes for twenty-five years you can't blame the New Tork legislature for being on edge. SOME folks will want to pay the income tax just to show that they are in the swim. OH. FICKLE WEATHER. Way this weather Is going It's hard to tell from day to day whether flannels and dysters or iced tea and B. V. D.'s will be in order for the next day. "WILSON SEES MORNING MIST." Headline. Tut: tut! Has Woodrow been gazing on September Morn? HENNERY COLDBOTTLE read in Thb Times that there were snap and ginger at the Hammond republican convention last Saturday. At Gary conventions they want nothing stronger than Budwelser. MAYBE the Xew Ilaven line Is paying Ex-preoent Mallea 930,000 a rear out of pure Joy of getting lid of him. WISCONSIN now has 34.170 autos. This means 34.170 badger natives who are not tearing their hair over the La Follete policies. NOW develops that it was on De cember 21 that Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Bryan to relieve him of part of his that may be In power next year. Any man can subscribe to a platform which reads as follows: "A public comfort station to be Installed in the business district as an aid to women, children and men. other BUt-h stations to be installed In other parts of the city as they are neerfeO. "A strict enforcement of the laws compelling factories and railroad stations to maintain toilets In a more sanitary condition. "A more up to date and effective equipment for cleaning streets and collecting garbage and rubbish. "Rigid quarantine In regard to contagious disease. The city to pay the head of the household & compensation during quaratnlne as it Is no more than fair and just that the public pay for Its safeguards instead of the person or persons quarantined who must suffer all the Inconvenience and expense. "That the rule of the majority be supreme. "Lastly, we are unalterably opposed to the deep sewer project as proposed by the Board of Public Works of the City of Hammond. "The Introduction of scientific city planning to provide for the development of our city along the most sanitary, economic and " attractive lines. "The opening of publio schools and other municipal buildings for public gatherings." THE TARIFF. By the time they get through amending the tariff bill it will be a tariff bull. It's own father won't know it. If the measure is amended your way it's the work of the tariff conferees. If otherwise it was done by tariff tinkers. It is as Important to remember this as It Is not to forget the difference between specific and ad valorem. Then you must say it glibly and pass rapidly to something else, unless curious nersons start asUlBg unanswerable questions. The latest work of the 8tateBmen was to cut the prlce of hata and ralM the price of lemons and it's a peculiar coincidence that Secretary of State Bryan Immediately bought a new eight dollar bonnet. MOTHER'S BREAD. One Jay Burns, a baker of Omaha his name may or may not be a pun addressing the master bakers fore gathered at Buffalo, seems to have gone and done it. List to his words: "The bread mother makes, after placing the dough behind the stove to rise, is not pure food. Kneading dough with the hands is imperfect In the first place, because the lumps of glutten made by flour and water are, not thoroughly mashed. Then, covering the dougl while it rises is insanitary, because carbonic gases from the yeast and flour are unable to es cape," says the Grand Kapids Press. Whaddye mean , not pure, Mr. Burns? Are you trying to drum up trade. or are you sincere? Furthermore, did you ever refrain from eating that bread raised behind the stove, and call for the baker's article instead? If you are sincere, and have so refrained, you have a right to speak. Otherwise .better hold your peace. In these days of eugenics, hy gienics, sterilization and machinemade baker'B bread, the weary villager is ofttimes moved, with a sight, to the reflection, "What doth it profit a man?" To maintain th&t the bread mother used to make behind the stove could ln any way be compared with the loaves of the modern machine bakery, however O. K.'d and approved by the crank 0t sanitation, is to Stretch hu-

work by becoming Secretary of State.

WOMEN JURORS Recently twelve Oak Park women. constituting the first full woman jury i , , . ever impanelled in the State of Illinois to near a misdemeanor case tried, brought ln a verdict of guilty in Strict accordance With the law, and thn most of them proceeded to "have a good cry." some through nervous- . . . ness and others because of sympathy for the prisoner, who, by the way, was a woman and appeared In court with her four smaUchildren.

TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 1. Mayor Lew Shank, the clown mayor of Indianapolis, will become a real actor at the end of his term as mayor the first of next January, and his first appearance on the vaudeville stage will be made at South Bend, Terre Haute and Rvanavllle. It is said that negotiations also are pending for his appearance at Fort Wayne. He announced last night that he would perform at the Orpheum j theatre. South Bend, the entire week of January 4th. The first half of the following week he will be at the New Orand theatre, Evansvllle, and the last half of that week at the Variety theatre, Terre Haute. He will do a monologue and If he does this In his own natural manner he Is sure to make a hit. It would be better than anything that anyone else could write for him. Not only will be perform at the theatres in these cities, but ln each town that he visits he will Inspect the city markets and tell the people whether they are run right. He wll also have a look at the police and fire departments in each city, and will criticise them for the benefit of the suffering and patient public. In addition to all 6t this he will conduct auction sales for charity in each clety. Any charity or charitable Institution thst'wiahes to have him conduct such a ale can have his service free of charge. It is said that Indiana Congressmen have fared better thus far in having postmasters appointed arid confirmed by the Senate than the congressmen of any other state In the union. Up to this time sixty-six Democrats have been appointed postmasters in Indiana, and none of the men recommended by the Indiana congressmen has been turned down for appointment. The Indiana members are feeling good over their record ln this matter thus far. and are pointing out that the class of men they have recommended Is so far above the average that this accounts for the ease and speed with which they have had their appointees Confirmed. Senator Town-end, of Michigan, is the member of the Senate committee that fen. a ... a 1 . n . . 1, ( - . . . tigatlons of men recommended for ap-

agree with this criticism. The court jl3 undoubtedly the place where Justice shall have its most perfect application, but it is a rather narrow spirit that would object to the tempering of justice with sympathy and

mercy. Some stronger argument will have to be found against women as jurors than the fact that in the first big case that twelve of them were called to pass upon they first found a verdict In strict accordance with the letter of the law but later shed a few tears because of the pitiable plight of their Bister against whom they had been compelled to give Judgiment. Up and Down in INDIANA RECOGXIZE9 HORSE FROM CAR. Wilbur Ballard, 15 years old. of Dayton, O.. and Edwin Shafer, 17 years old, of Tippecanoe City, O., were taken in custody by Deputy Sheriff Wllkerson when found east of Winchester today with a stolen horse and buggy in their possession.

In his own state it Is said that few appointees i have been confirmed because it has j ben found that a good many of them are addicted to drink, and this is one thing that the postoffice department always has objected to. But this has not been urged against any of the In diana appointees. Davis W. McKee, of Connersvllle, baa announced that he is a candidate for the appointment of United States district attorney for Indiana. He ha sent word to the Indiana members of Congress and Senators of his aspira tions and it Is understood that he proposes to make an active campaign for the place. The Republican state executive corn- ' mitu-e which held a meeting here this week took a rap at the proposition of nominating fusion city tickets for this fall's city election in many of the cities of the state. The committee was not opposed to the plan of nominating citizens tickets, but It did let It be known that it believed the Republl cans should make straight party nomlnatlons rather than combine with the Progressives. Reports which the com mittee received from all over the state regarding party conditions were Such as to cause the executive committee to e much encouraged over the prospect for party success next year at the state election, and the members were J of the opinion that nothing should be aone this year that would tend to In iUre the chances for next year. The executive committee nor the state committee has anything to do with direcaing city campaigns, and the views of the members as expressed were not given for the purpose of undertaking to control the city campaigns. They were the individual opinions of the members. It was said at the meeting that the result of the recent election in Maine, when the Republicans elected their candidate for Congress by a good vote, has put renewed ginger ln the Republicans of Indiana, and that they are getting ln fighting ari mfor next year's campaign. The executive committee will hold another meeting In a short time to lay some plans for next year and for the reorganization of the party in the state next winter.

Here, on Nov. 4. 1873. four Cuban patriots. Cespedas. Ryan. Del Sal and Verona, who were nasaene-era on tha
