Among the Worst CITY Noises.

All American cities are afflicted
with too many noises. most of them
wholly unnecessary, and in the opin-
ion of scientists this is the cause of
many of the nervous disorders which
are characteristic of the nation. None.
however, is so useless and annoying
as the raucous yelling of the street
peddlers who drive their carts at
snails pace through the residence
districts, shouting at the top of their
voices from morning until night. The
practice is offensive enough to well
persons who have enjoyed a nights
rest. but to the sick and to night
workers who are compelled to sleep in
the daytime it is an intolerable hard
ship from which they have a right to
be protected by law.-Kansas City
Journal.

The Cubs got even with Philadelphia
for the way they were treated on the
opening day. and goose egged the home
team, winning 8 TO 0. Brown was in
the box against Corridor and had all
the better of the argument up to the
eighth when Richie was sent in. Only
four hits were the Phillies able TO get
off Mordecai, while the Cubs piled up
nine. Tinker was the fielding star of
the day at short and Doolin was not
far behind him in handling the whizzers
in pretty fashion. Johnny King was
injured in the last inning when a foul
from Osborne's bat carried away a
piece of his thumb and Moran succeeded
him.

O'Strander hurried to the Sandbur Of
fee. He didn't wait for explanations
or apologies, but waded right into the
blatherskite and libelous editor.
ST was thumped plenty before the
underpafd office hands could interfere
and drag his Infatuated assailant away.
When Mr.. O'Strander left the Sandbur
office the job printer was sponging off
the mangled mug of his stupened en-
ployer.
1t isn't likely that the blatherskite
editor Of the Weekly Sandbur will
again refer to Mr.. o'Strander as de-
ceased, which many Hopkins people
pronounce as if it was spelled diseased.

Many Hopkins residents have prefer
red TO invest their surplus money away

promised fabulous returns, were more

Editor Gets a Deserved Thumring.
TOM BONFIELD

Edltor Gets deserved humping.
The blatherskite editor of the Weekly
Sandbur. 81 Slivers, got deserved
humping after his vicious sheet was
printed Thursday afternoon. The
thumper was Sam OStrander, the for
mer political boss Of Pembroke town
ship, of which Hopkins is the CONNER
cial and social center.
Lately Mr.. O'Strander was deposed
as boss by the county central commit
tee. For several weeks past the Sand
bur has been making malicious thrusts
by referring to him as the late Mr..
o'Strander." Here are some of its ILL.,
timed and far-fetched drives:
The late Mr.. O'Strander is repaper-
ing and repainting his beautiful man
sion on Hay Press avenue"
The late Mr.. o'strander was late at
church Sunday morning"
The late Mr.. O'Strander is writing
a book on Has Beens. which will in
clude his personal "reminiscences"
Mr.. O'Strander is a patient man and
slow to anger. but when aroused, he's
a iend. The Sandbur's venomous and
/ persistent roasting aroused him. But
even then he might not have resented
this unjust treatment If it had not been
for his wife who was exasperated by
what she called these horrid caIum-
MES"
The last straw happened last Thurs
/ day when the Sandbur said.

WITH THE EDITORS
Boosting Anderson.

Anderson has two organizations
which are working in harmony in be-
half of that well known Indiana city
The Commercial club is composed of
business men and performs the func-
tions expected of such an association.
1t takes UP matters of vital interest to
Anderson, including the securing of
new Industries. The other organiza-
tion. the Booster club, is composed of
younger men and is in reality sort of
auxiliary To the other.
At present this booster association is
devoting its attention TO the raising of
a S200 600 factory fund and the outlook
IS decidedly promising. While il is
proposed TO use the fund in securing
new industries 1t Is understood that no
bonuses are to be offered. 1t is Well
if such is the case. for the chances are
that more substantial concerns will be
secured if cash offerings are withheld
As a rule the factory which is after
money is of a type which does city
little or no good.
To return 10 the Anderson organiza-
tions. though. the young men interest
ed In raising the factory fund are go
ing into the scheme with much en-
thusiasm and in very thorough man
ner The work has ben cut out in
systematic style. The plan which is
TO be pursued is as thorough as that
which is followed during a political
campaign. The definite scheme is a
subscription Of two per cent a year
for three years on the land value of
the city, based according TO the 1906
assessment. The matter is to be pre-

tribute. While many believe that the
raising of such a fund should depend
entirely on voluntary contributions the
Anderson plan is likely to be closely
observed.
The Anderson organizations. both of
them, deserve commentator for the

on the right road and very likely to
secure results.-South Bend Tribune

Value Of Good Intentions

l don't believe very much in good
resolutions; for my experience is that
the people who make plenty of them
are not always as good at carrying
them out. You see it takes so much
out Of one TO make really fine reso-
luton. A solid ounce of good trying
IS worth more than whole pound Of

The Giants are still trying to bolster
up the team and have signed third
baseman Sundheim of the Houghton,
Michigan, team. He will leave for the
east Immediately and join the team.
Somebody must be going to get a
chance to warm the bench. They will
have to go some to win against Pitts
burg in the race for second place, the
latter winning again yesterday.
1t took old Cy Young to trim off the
Maps at their own grounds yesterday
and possibly the old man wanted to
show his neighbors just how good he
really is. Cy lives somewhere In Ohio,
and formerly played on the old Cleve-
land team. The sluggers got just four
hits off Cy.
The Hammond team is to try out
new pitcher today against the Senacas
at Normal Park. Tobias is his name
and he is touted pretty well, but he will
have to show Charley Randall. If he is
good we will all sat chance to see him
tomorrow when the locals line up
against the Mystic Giants, the strong

Primitive bookkeeping.

Clay Kershaw, our popular liveryman,
recently took a partner. The partner
ship lasted three weeks. two weeks and
six days to be exact.
Clay had a primitive system Of keep
ing books, which satisfied him because
he understood il. Clay's entries were
simple. They ran like this: Paid
Hoosier Dick IS on acct" use for one
horse feed" Keeping Dice Ellis mule,
$3.50, unpaid"
Clay's new partner started a double
entry set of books, explaining that it
was necessary in striking balances.
Clay got suspicious of figures he
couldn't understand and confided TO a
friend: L believe that son of a gun Is
trying to cheat me. What does all this
Or. and Dr.. mean, anyway"
Clay dissolved partnership and re
turned to his primitive style of book
keeping. Clay can grasp such simple
propositions as evolution, the Corey
Gilman affair and green bugs, but fancy
bookkeeping is beyond him.

MR.. WATSON ON HIS TRAVELS
Account OF the Incident of the 40
Cent Charge for Bread.

From the New York sun.
To the editor Of The Sun-S!r: The
facts of my dispute with a Pullman car
conductor over a charge for bread are
that I gave an order for beef. eggs. and
coffee and these We're served. Never have
1 known charge to be made for bread
when a meat order of this kind was
given. l objected when the porter wished
10 charge ten cents for the bread, and
the gentlemanly conductor sustained my
objection. There was no scene" no
damning, no clustering The incident did
not interrupt the conversation between
me and Attorney General Hart. OF this
State.
In few minutes I said TO the porter:
Here is a tip OF 10 cents foi youths
will show you l cared nothing for the
money, but merely to protest against an
improper charge"
The conductor made no threat whatever
and not a discourteOus word passed be-
tween US
Your correspondent states that the Pull
man conductor told me / must pay the
porter or get off the train

powers Of a Pullman conductor is quite

From the New York Tribune.
We are not Inclined 10 regard the naval
authorities as immune from criticism. In
this country We have often 10 depend

best results from ali sorts and cond:-
tons Of public officials. and We take
pride in the belief that, in some respects.
at least this enables Us 70 accomplish
better things than those nations can
which DO not enjoy freedom OF criticism.
But such sensational outburst as the
sailing Of the feet has been regarded as
the Psychological moment" Tor must
be simply bewildering 10 The public.
Who can be expected 20 believe. Tor ex-
ample, that the designers OF American
war ships plan them in a haphazsrd
fashion; that they do not know until a
ship is afloat whether her arm0r belt
viii be above water or below IL. or
whether then the captain VIII have 20
keep an able seaman constantly employ

guns or n0t-in fact. that. al things con-
Sidered. IL is gUesswork with .-our bu-

marine Yet this is hardly an exaggera-
ton. SO stupid and happy-go-lucky are
the methods OF the department represent

opinion where the armOr belt on a war
ship should be; that authorities differ,
and then. If il is possible 10 show. by the
practice Of foreign nations or otherwise.
that the American custom Of putting the
armOr belt low is a mistake. why not 20
ahead and show il? Why assert dog
matlcally that a ship with its heavy
armOr where that on the American YES
sells is placed is protected only against
SwOrdfsh and in case OF real war would
have to run up on dry land 70 be safe

cism would be 20 show. by precept and

stances can a jury be induced TO convict
railroad employee Of criminal miscon-
duct, although the same jury would mulct
the railroad company In heavy damages
for the consequences Of that very en-
ploye's negligence" The employe usually
escapes any personal penalty beyond dis
missal from the service. and does not
share IN the obloduy which attaches TO
the management
Inasmuch as in majority of cases the
immediate cause Of railway accidents is
the neglect of duty Of some subordinate.
Mr. Haines would invoke new legislation
for the punishment of the employee:
TIE code Of train rules should have approval as
police regulations. An infraction Of them should be
penalized II would be necessary for the penalty
to be severe. but that il should be speedily and
Justly inflicted In no way could uhe press Of THIS
country do more 10 insure the safety of railroad
travel than by insisting that violation q train
rules should be punishable by law
AS to the men higher up. let the press
perform its Office Of criticism. blaming
officials responsible for niggardly expen-
diture or for the retention OF incompe-
tent subordinates. and inveighing against
a manager or superintendent who has
personally failed in his duty. What the
railroad managements respect" says Mr..
Haines. is the criticism which follows
upon letting the light in on their deficien-
cies. In view Of the impossibility Of
convicting higher railway officials. or
even of indicting them In connection with
railway accidents. il would appear that
