The man who really wants to get at the facts in the case has only to look a little way Into the progressive vote in Hammond to see that even the votes for councilmen show on the face of the returns a greater strength than the party really has in the city. There was no special fight made on these candidates and many a republican or democrat was concerned only with the head of the ticket. Inas much as he cared only for this and had given no thought to the candidates for council, or the other candidates for that matter, he simply marked the head of the ticket and let the matter go at that. Thus these same candidates for other offices got more votes than they would have received otherwise. Yet fourth place was the best that some of them could get in some of the pre cincts. PERHAPS, In emptying his desk, Governor Foss will come across that left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit which afforded him so much satisfac tion a short time ago. THE final touch remaining to be added to the Peace palace at The Hague 13 peace. GETTING TIRED. It is possible that the people are growing weary of being flattered and fawned upon by the politicians? So long as a few demagogues monopolize the practice of pretending to be the people's only friends and champions, there was something in the device, hut now "everybody's doing it," and it is hard for any candidate or set ot candidates to establish the fact that they are really the only simon pure blown in the bottle, warranted not to rip, tear, or wear down at the) heel peoples friends. Speaking of this phase of the campaign Just closed in Massachusetts, the Springfield o Republican says: "Anyone who has followed the literature and the speeches cannot help being struck by the multiplicity of ways in which each aspirant for the governorship seeks to convince the voters, by a bewildering variety of appeals, that he is the only sure friend of the people. This phase of the campaign has become highly humorous, and to the sensible mind much overdone. More has been suggested than could be digested in a score of years. If there is any promise, short of agreeing to see that every family is supplied with free dally beefsteak, which has failed to get Into the pronouncement of some one of the four candidates, it is because nobody has happened to suggest the innovation.

The independents fused with the citizens' ticket and the result will be that many of their leaders will hold office at the Gary city hall whereas the Knotts men will be out in the cold. That many of the county leaders have long sought to eliminate Knotts as a dangerous rival is known to every one. But there was none who would attempt such a fighting task.

PRESIDENT Wilson might appea'. to the life insurance companies for action calculated to bring those 5,000 Americans home from Mejcico. THE ONWARD MARCH OF LABOR. By Christmas it is expected that London will have a unionized police force that will be a power in the labor world. Cops are joining the recently formed union in such numbers that by the holidays they hope to be strong enough to force recognition. There are 20,000 policemen in London below the rank of superintendent, and everyone of them la expected to enlist In the union movement. Superintendents are not eligible for membership. Labor is advancing and England is by no means trailing the procession. What unionism has done for the man who looks for a living Is not to be estimated in dollars and cents. ALL THINGS COME TO HIM WHO WAITS. Although President Wilson hasn't rewarded Chairman McCombs he has just married an heiress so he probably won't feel blue anymore. THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR. No matter how hard that part of the population to whom Christmas means care and labor tries to put off the inevitable preparations for the greatest of holidays, the arrival of toy-laden ships from Germany calls it sharply to attention. While the American mind has been occupied wtih the Fourth of July, baseball and other things associated with summer, patient fingers in that far-away land have been busy fabri eating the charming nothings which will delight American children under the glamour of the Christmas tree. And now the fruit of their toil and ingenuity is beginning to pass through the custom houses In huge cargoes, which will soon be distribut ed among the toy stores and thence pass into the possession of eager little ones in thousands of homes. The arrival of the ship the other day with 1,600 tons of this joy-bringing freight warns us that it will soon be time to hang up the Xmas stock ing and that is already time for the wise man to be looking after the things to go into the stockings. PROMOTION OF THRIFT. A society for the promotion of thrift was organized the other day in this city. The "promoting" is to be done by means of inquiry, education and discussion. Bulletins are to be published ; typical cases of thrift are to be brought to general notice; talks on thrift are to be given In the publlc schools. The first bulletin of the committee on organization is excellent, it reminds us that the maxims of Poor Richard were once a household possession and a reflection of the na tional spirit. It points out that thJ proverbial American extravaganve ia a comparatively new acquisition. And it lays stress on the fact that the ordinary conception of thrift is erroneous. There are foolish reform! economists who write solemnly! against thrift, which they define as the habit of savine and KPlf-donlal As a matter of fact thrift means earnIng, conserving, planning, increasing,' as well as saving. j Tt is impossible not to sympathize with fh. atrrw an rio , mv..,,, o . v., society.

The catastrophic notion of re form, that it Is born of misery and despair, has been exploded. Sobriety and caution do not militate against intelligent radicalism. Chicago Record-Herald. 0N GOING TO CHURCH. A pastor recently sent out letters to a large number of non-church go ing men, asking them why they did not attend church services. He re ceived many replies and they formed the basis of a Sunday sermon. Among the reasons given were the follow ing: Unchurched men are as good as the men of the church. Too many hypocrites in the church. Dishonest church members. Large hats "worn by the ladies." Uncomfortable churches. Lack of sociability. Choir singing. Indifferent church members. Church "thinks more of man's money than of his soul." It will be noted that nearly all the replies laid the blame on the church organization, its management or its membership. The men who did not go to church did not refer to their own shortcomings, Including lack of purpose, disbelief and Indifference, and these are the shortcomings that the ministers have always been endeavoring to overcome. When a man does not. want to go to church, it ia not usually the fault of the church or the service. The fault lies In the man himself. Grand Rapids-News Press. A NEEDED WARNING. Judge Gary uttered a wholly understandable truth recently when he said that the indiscriminate attack upon great business institutions was at the bottom of all our economic danger. Recently 13,000 employes of the steel corporation petitioned the United tSates court to dismiss its suit to dissolve that corporation says the Logansport Reporter. "And what?" asks the Atlanta Constitution, "is the explanation of this remarkable fact? It is the theory upon which our demagogical politicians are operating that all big business, all vast industrial operations employing the skill, intelligence and the muscular labor of great num bers of the people who have to work for wages should be broken up and put In the hands of small operators; but it happens that the armies of wage earners who are employed in those vast establishments see in the proposed break-up only loss and dis aster to themselves." j All this has some good sense in it and these soldiers of financial fortune, who look to disturbance for their loot will find that the intelligence or the wage worker is keen enough to penetrate the fallacy of their pretensions The Day in HISTORY novemhkr s v- mtTniir 16" John Milton, the famous English !

The svernors of six states have notified Chairman S. W. Straus of the organization committee of the American Society for Thrift that they will jtet on the advisory council of the society. Several of them will deal with the problem of individual thrift as the best protection against the high cost of living, when in their forthcoming Thanksgiving proclamations they lefer to the prosperity of the nation.

Heart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LUSUE THE LONG ARM. From Russia to America, across thousands of leagues of land and sea. came Mrs. Sonie Sorln, a young widow. She came not to make a home In this country. She remained among us only a few days. She has gone back to Russia. The young woman came here In obedience to an ancient Hebrew law which says that a woman may not remarry unless the nearest male relative of her deceased husband either marries her or gives her permission to marry another. The law is very old. Orthodox Hebrew women still consider it binding on their consciences and on their courses of action. So Mrs. Sorin traveled from a little town in the interior of Russia to Columbus, O.. to get from her husband's brother a further release from the ties already partly severed by death. Curious old custom? Yes, but it illustrates well the tenacity with which she and many of h?r corelilfluists cling to their old orthodox beliefs. Arriving in New York, Mrs. Sorln said: "From Russln to Ohio is a long journey, BUT FURTHER THAN THAT EXTENDS THE LAW." Unknowingly she enunciated a great truth. "Further than that extends the law!" She meant only her religious law. but Is not her saying applicable to other laws?Take the Inw of conscience, for example. How far do you think you would have to flee to reach a place where it could not overtake you? The peak of the highest mountain, the least frequented arctic solitude, the greatest depth yet sounded in the sea? Further than that extends the law. Do you think a plunge Into the whirl of work or pleasure or dissipation will drown out the voice that tells you of your own wrongdoing? No, for "further than that extends the law." More, mnterlal laws have long arms too. Every day we hear of men overtaken by evidences of crimes committed In years gone by. Not only murder will out. but so will lesser offenses against the criminal coda. A man may flee from the scene of his crime, be may change his nnme. he may live for years In the atmosphere of respectability, bnt in many cases the law finds him out. And if it does not? Well, the law of conscience is more potent for punishment than any yet embodied in statute by man. It may be repealed for a time by a man's mental powers sitting in judgment on his own case, but in the end it is enforced. Go as far as you like in time or distance from your misdeeds, but "Further than that extends the law. 1864 Abraham Lincoln re-elected President of the United States. 1880 Sarah Bernhardt made her debtit at Booth's Theatre, New York. 18SS John E.

Cullom In the United States Senate, was born In Miami county, Ohio, November 8. 1858. Less than a year later he was taken by his parents to Illinois, which state has been his home ever since. At the age of 16 he went to work on his father s farm, and for several years all the schooling he had was acquired through his own effort from books. With money earned by helping his neighbors through the threshing season he was enabled to attend McKendroo college, where he graduated In law In 1882. AVithln a few years he was elected city attorney of Macomb, III., which position proved a stepping stone Jo the office or county judge. After one term of the bench Judge Sherman returned to the practice of his profession, and son was rated one of the leading lawyers of central Illinois. He became a member of the Illlncis House ot Representatives in 1S96, and later served as lieutenant governor of the State.

Merritt Banister, county commissioner, at Wabash, was seriously burned when he threw a sack of gunpowder into a stove where he was burning some rubbish. The powder, by some unknown means, had been tossed in a pile of waste paper and dirt, and when this was thrown Into the Stove a deafening explosion followed. Enveloped in flames, he ran from the house, but was overtaken by his wife ad the fire finally extinguished, but not before his flesh was cooked In many places. ritl.XCKTON MAN MANGLED. Samuel McDonald, 20 years old, son of Councilman Daniel McDonald, was struck and his body mangled by a traction car a short distance north of Princeton last night. It Is believed he was dead when the car hit him. His body was lying directly across the track and his legs and head were severed. A revolver was found lying by his side, with every chamber loaded.
