THE NEWSPAPER NAN.

Now and then one hears of news
paper man going into some other bust
ness and now and then one hears OF a
newspaper man giving up some other
business.
This doesn't imply that newspaper
men are good for nothing else, but il
does infer that there is a certain fas-
cination about the work which one
can never get away from. Someone
has called 1t the fatal smell of print
ers ink" That, however, is hardly
true in this day because the average
man on the street" does not get a
smell of printers ink often enough to
distinguish it from other varities of
perfume and toilet water.
He just likes the work, that's all.
The hurry, hurry. hurry. appeals to
him. The heart interest stories which
he is sent to get, and which he gets,
make his heart throb with Joy. The
ills, the cares and the troubles of 9TH
ers, of which he is bound TO learn from
the others, may disillusiOn him, but
they do not spoil him. He remains as
much fascinated as the day when he
made his first beat; when all the world
seemed happy and decidedly promis-
ing.
He may grow old al something else;
sometimes he has been known TO be-
come successful and has, in a few
instances. accumulated the reverse of
bad debts, still the true newspaper
man never forgets and ever longs for
return Of the days when life was
one scramble for things doing" News
paper work has been called something
more than a business or a profession,
it has been called a habit. That is it
exactly, and once the habit is formed
one can never live it down.
The newspaper man has his faults,
most anyone will cite instances, and
yet as a rule he isn't so very, very
bad He probably isn't so very, very
good either; just a fair average. y ct
with all that can be said for or against
him no one has ever been able to
honestly accuse him of not being in
terested. The fascination holds, grips
and keeps him, He may quit he may
win a something else, but at heart he
is ever a newspaper man.-South Bend
Tribune.

cost of living has greatly increased.
The easiest way to state the cause is
to say that prices have been increased.
If any one ask why" II isn't so easy
10 answer.
There can be no doubt that the
trusts have much do to with the fact
An inordinate desire to reap rich divi-
dends on investment has boosted
prices and kept the wage of labor
down, until now the rise of the COM
mon people against the plutocrat has
compelled many advances in wages.
But there is an inequality about the
increase in remuneration for labor per
formed There are many persons In
employ who are not banded together
and who may not fight for their de-
sires through organization-in the ma
rure Of their occupation organization
is virtually impossible, 1t is upon
these that the drain comes hardest, and
these are those who are the largest
single class of our citizenship.
An argument is often advanced that
it makes no differences what the cost
of living is, if those IN employ receive
advanced remuneration, proportional
to the increase in cost. In the abb
stract this statement is true. but it is
not true that those working on sal
aries have received, are receiving. or
probably will receive such an advance.
Increased cost and increased wage
makes a huge demand upon mediums
of exchange. We have long been
seeking TO place the available quantity
of money beyond the actual demand
and the present system works hard
against the plan.
1t would be easier to solve many
vexatious problems concerning domes-
tic economy. If the necessities of life
cost less. 1t would be more reason
able to accept the statement of the
conservative school Of economists who
believe the level of exchange is main
tained If we saw more money going
the way Of original producers, but the
fact is, prices on raw products. not
controlled by monopoly or combines,
are less now than in many previous
years.-TIoosier.

THANKsG1vING SUGGESTIONS.

Tomorrow Is the National Thanks
giving day and just before reaching
for the left leg of the turkey 1t might
be well for the festival diner to stop
10 remember what he has to be thank
full for. There is no man no matter in
what walk of life, who has not some
reason which should make him CRATE
full and while there is evidence of
this on every hand still a few sugges-
tions may not be amiss
Let the man who paid the ice bill
during the the past summer consider
that winter Is at the door. Never
mind the coal bill as long as we are
able to burn gas.
Another man. and this is for the
Hammondite especially, who should be
thankful is he, who has been able TO
buy or rent house in Hammond.
Then there is the schoolmaam who
has not been over popular, let her be
thankful. for she still has a job.
Let the man who has a home and
family who is able to support both
in the proper manner, despite the high
cost of living. be thankful.
The man who voted for Cox in the
last election should be thankful for
Cox again.
The man who voted for Carter has
every reason to be thankful
Let every Hammond man be thank
full for the present police protection
that he enjoys for it might be still more
insufficient.
Dad Cameron should be thankful for
having one fifty year franchise in this
city and he really ought to be ashamed
to ask for another one.
And least we forget let US also be
thankful that Hammond now belongs
to that class of cities which is entitled
to depots.
The people of Whiting should be
thankful that there has only been talk
of annexation.
In your gratitude forget not the cook
who stuffed the turkey.
Last, but not least, let US all be
thankful for having at least some
thing to be thankful for.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov. 2S.-With the ma
jority of the influential stock operators
gone away for the holiday, the stock
market felt the absence Of their OPP
orators. Fluctuations as rule We're
narrow and uninteresting barring a
few of the more active issues.
Reading started the day off strong
and higher, likewise St Paul. The
former sold up TO 1854 and the latter
at 1S4 But as usual on the strong
spots. sufficient stock was offered the
crowd to bring about a reaction Of
about two points in each of these two
leaders in the market.
The selling in St Paul was again
ascribed to the Standard Oil interests
and that in Reading to Frick and his
coterie of friends. Union and southern
Pacific also showed the lack Of lead
err The former sold off from 1854 to
1877 and the latter from 80 to within a
fraction of "a.
The statement issued by the Union
Pacific company yesterday afternoon
and exploited in the newspapers
throughout the country is more or less
Of a riddle to the average speculator.
AS market factor, however, its eff
feet was only temporarily bullish and
after the trade generally digested it,
they We're no wiser than before.
The one particular strong feature of
the session was the rise in New York
Central which advanced from $50 up to
1924 on the very best class of buying.
Lots of one thousand shares and over
were the order of the day. Rumors to
the effect that the dividend may be in
creased at the next meeting was the
cause of the strength in this issue.
These rumors, however, do not seem to
have much foundation and are brought
out every time a stock shows eXcep-
tionaI strength and activity.
In the lower priced shares, NJ. K. &
T. common and preferred were in a
reactionary mood. 1t seems some one
was willing to realize some OF the
handsome paper profits which they
have made in the last fortnight. Both
stocks showed a decline of about a
point and half each from yesterday
high price.

SANTA CLAUS AND THE
CHRIST CHILD.

Very little indeed can be expected
from the efforts Of parents to bring
back the Christian idea Of Christmas so
long as our Sunday schools foster the
pagan idea of Santa Claus If we do
not strike the right key note of the day
with our children. pray where then
shall we begin? The whole thing re-
solves itself to one point which should
be an inviolable rule in all Sunday
schools: the absolute elimination OF
Santa Claus and the substitution Of
the Christ Child. Santa Claus has no
place in the church or Sunday school:
either by decentralization in entertain
merit or by pictorial representation in
pulpit or on platform, or by the dis
tributiOn OF cards on which he is pic
tured. The lesson Of the church is
thar Of the Holy Child and that story
has in il enough beauty and enough
pictorial possibilities for any number
OF celebrations. It is too often forgot
ten by those in charge of our Christ
mas celebrations in church or Sunday
school that the mind Of a child is the
most sensitive and receptive thing
there is. and Is just as open TO pagan
teaching as it is 10 Christian teachings

WHAT is MONEY!

To the query, What is money, any
way?" the following answers are made:
Money is the loudest sound in the
voice of life.
Bate for the matrimonial hook.
Fuel for fun.
The one thing that makes crooked
things straight and straight things
crooked.
The most effective substitute for
brains.
A provider for everything but happi-
ness; a passport to everywhere but
heaven.
The New York idea,
Something that always gets the glad
hand.
Money is the most difficult root to
cultivate
Metal often manufactured from wa
ter in Wall street.
The best talking machine.
That which women look for while
men sleep.
A curse to some that have it and a
curse to all that haven't.
What the rich don't need the poor
don't get.
The breath of business.
\ Our private god.
The antidote for proverty.
That which speaks a language we
can all understand. but in which so
few are able TO converse.-Bulls and

rnLMAN on the RACE PROBLEM

The future will tell whether Mayor
Dunno strengthened himself politically
By declining TO preside at the lecture
OF Senator Ben Tillman on the race
problem. in Chicago. The future may
say that he acted the manly part and
then again 1t may say that he was
blufed by the negro colony OF the
city of which he is the chief executive.
In the south where the party TO which
he belongs rules and is making
desperate fight against negro demon
stration, he VIII be stigmatized as
"negrophile.' There are democrats in
the south who shrug their shoulders
at Tiilman's radical utterances, but
they believe in his views just as a
large proportion of the Episcopal faith
believe that Hereto Crapsey was
logical and sincere, but too outspoken.
Dunno as a reading man knew Till
mans opinions on the race question
and had no reason to doubt that they
would not be modified on account of
his presence in the chair. The mayor
knew or should have known that Tul-
man had a set speech to make and
would make It irrespective Of the per-
son who introduced him to the au-
dience. lie knew. or should have
known, Tillman before he consented to
dignity the lecture with his distin-
guished presence.
It was no new light that influenced
his declinatIon. He declined because
the negroes Of Chicago asked him to
decline. The negroes today admire
him for his pluck, but he may discover
that there is many white faced
brother who. while not holding with
Tnlman's views on the race question
despises him for his cowardice.
Tillman is lighting for the main
fenance of white supremacy. One
does not have 10 travel farther south
than the Calumet river to know what
that means.

ONE VIEW OF SUBSIDIES.

Secretary Root is frank in saying
that the tariff compels the granting of
ship subsidies If our foreign commerce
Is to be built up and fostered. We can
not repeal the tariff, he says, and we
do not wish to lower the standard of
American living which comes with the
prevailing high wages for work. There
fore. we should give back to the ship
owner what we take away from him
for the purpose of maintaining that
standard, and unless we do give it
back we shall continue to go without
ships" That Is the uncompromising
high protectlonist view. 1t has not
been the view of the mass of American
people. We shall see whether the pres
ident and his cabinet can convince
them OF its wisdom.-Chiacgo News.

BACHELORS.

large in all parts OF the world They
inhabit apartments, clubs. open fields
bodies of water and music halls. They
are also seen behind the scenes. They
hover at times near front gates, and
have been found in back parlors with
the aid of a searchlight. Bachelors are
nomadic by nature and variable in their
tastes, never going with one girl long
enough to be dangerous. Bachelors
make love easily, but rarely keep it.
Rich bachelors are hunted openly and
shamelessly, and are always in great
danger. Those who finally escape are
as rule, useless ever afterwards.-De-
lineator.

difference between that and the repub-

sixty-one republican county organ

democratic county organizations spent
$4,000. The expenditures Of the in

WITH THE EDITORS.
Bancroft's Ready Answer.

I have just heard a good mott IS
not more than a mot-of Bancroft, the
American historian, who is now United
States minister at Berlin. Lotus (our
ambassad there) thought 1 suppose.
that the Yankee was a fair and would
be an easy butt for the shafts of his
peculiarly refined wit. so attacks him
before a hundred listeners on some
public occasion with I'm Gods name.
Mr. Bancroft, why don't you Yankees
send your representatives to court like
Christians, in a proper uniform. instead
of turning them out all dressed in
black like so many undertakers?"
Whereto Bancroft replies: Really.
Lord Augustus. I am surprised that
you. as ambassador TO the queen Of
England, and with the keen powers of
penetration for which you are general
~ distinguished. should have failed to
preceive that we could not be more
appropriately dressed than we are. at
European courts. where what we rep
resent is the burial Of monarchy. -
