DENIES REPORT OF SALE OF
CHICAGO AND WABASH VALLEY
Friend of Owner Declares the Story in
the Chicago Papars Regarding Trans
fer of Property to Vanderbilt system
is Untrue.

Two weeks ago the report was pub
Iished in several Chicago papers to
the effect that b. ]. Clifford has sold
the Chicago and Wabash Valley rail-
road of the Vanderbilt system.
This report is not true, according
to Mr.. Oscar Dinwiddie a close friend
of Mr.. Clifford. Mr.. Dinwiddie said
last night while in Hammond that in
a recent conversation with Mr.. Clifford
that gentleman told him that the re-
port was untrue in every detail al
though he admitted that the Wander
bilt system is negotiating with him for
the purchase of the road but nothing
had been done yet towards effecting a
sale.
Mr.. Dinwiddie. who lives at Dinwid-
die station, which is one of the sta
tons along Ginord's road says that a
force of loo men are now working near
Dinwiddie station putting in new
tracks and grading and that within the
next two months the road viii be COM
pleted TO Hebron.
So far the progress has been an I'm
bounded success and likewise is a great
benefit to the farmers living near the
terminus OF the road on account Of the
| excellett shipping facilities it furnishes
4 them.
| Tie only reason Mr.. Clifford gives for
even negotiating for the sale of his
road is the fact that he is getting old
and wants to see the project put
through before he dies. The Chicago
and Wabash Valley road is commonly
known as the Onion route for the fact
that it traverses tie itch farming lands
where onions ara raised in large guam
titles.

HAMMOND MAY GET C. A.
MENGES AUTOMOBILE PLANT.
Detroit Man Here in Touring Car of
own Construction, Pleased With
Hammond as Site for Future Fac
tory-Choice Between This City and
Elkhart.

Elkhart.
Charles a. Menges of Detroit. Mich.
accompanied by a party of friends in
his new Menges automobile, was in
Hammond last night and spent a
couple of hours looking over the city.
Mr. Menges. who is quite an automobile
enthusiast, recently constructed the
touring car which he was driving. and
everything known to the makers of
automobiles is put in the Menges car.
At first Mr.. Menges. who is a ma
chinist, thought only of making a car
for himself, but when it was completed
his Detroit friends persuaded him to
build several more, which are now I'M
der construction at Mr., Menge's plant
there. Mr.. Menges was accompanied by
DIR. L. ]. Mills of Elkhart. Ind, who is
trying to induce Menges TO establish q
factory there. Mr.. Nenges said last
night that he had just about decided
upon Elkhart as a location but thought
eventually he would end up in Ham
mond as he had read so much about
the eity's future as an industrial and
manufacturing center and was greatly
impressed with it from what he had
/ seen in riding over the city last night
/ After spending a couple Of hours here
/ taking supper, the party proceeded on
/ into Chicago where Mr.. Menges viii

/ As the big 60-horse power car stood

an imposing appearance and more thar

opinions that it was a foreign car.

WHAT TO EAT.

Professor Russell II, Chittenden of Yale univer-
sty after exhaustive study of nutrition concludes
that we eat too much especially of proteid foods
meat, eggs, fish, He arrives at his conclusions af-
Ter much research and experiment with college stu
dents and soldiers, and furnishes seemingly conclu-
slve proof OF what has been generally believed or
rather vaguely guessed at for number of years.
Overeating, he declares is not only useless but
harmful And by overeating it is meant what most
OF us consume under normal conditions.
Science divides food into three principal classes
Stripped OF technicalities, they are % meats
eggs, fish, ~ cereals and vegetables, and CO fats
which come mostly from meats and nuts The
great mistake is in eating too much of the first
class Professor Chittenden points out that there
is little danger of not getting sufficient of the
food elements contained in the first class if the
three articles we have named are entirely emi-
mated from the diet. On the other hand too much
proteid food (meat, etc.) is injurious in that it
overworks the digestive apparatus to throw off the
excess. A perfect diet seems to come from the
vegetable kingdom, with not to exceed half-pounl
OF meat day. Fat is fit only for winter use
From the results of Professor Chittendens expert
nlents, we must conclude that if you want to live
longer, feel better and have more physical and
mental endurance the thing to do is to live ON veg
etabes, cereals and fruits. With such diet and
plenty of water outside and inside an ordinarily
healthy mortal runs better chance of remaining
healthy than if he partakes freely of the more TX
pensive proteid foods

for they have been active in mischieyous way
The world is not profted by such success. 1t brings
nothing into the world. produces nothing. When
the achever of such success dies he leaves nothing
after him except lot of money other people worked
for and which bad system of laws made it pos
sible for him to call his own.
Education gives earning power but it never did
and never will give the ability to make" money
The money maker" may be educated and cultured,
but his ideal is of the earth earthly and never rises
above the size of his bank account. Young men
who have completed their education as provided in
schools and colleges and are looking forward to
career should profit by the experience of Others
as we see them throughout the nation. So many
instances of prosperous money makers dragged be-
fore courts to testify to their own swindling OPP
erations have lately brought into disrepute the
methods which have made them wealthy. The
money maker, from the petty CRATER who sells
something for twice its worth just because he can.
to the criminal eOnspirator who organizes combl-
nations in restraint of trade, and all, though
possessed of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice,
are no longer regarded as good citizens. The OPP
portunties for eollege-trained young to Sc
cure for themselves that genuine prosperity and
success which at the same time promtoes the gen
eral welfare of his neighbors are here in manifold
variety. If they never lose sight of the substan-
tial difference between earning and making money,
then indeed will their career be rounded out if they
steadfastly refuse to be led into channels where
petty larceny is dignifed by the less harsh term Of
shrewd business and swindling the public in stocS
operations and bond watering deals is called high
finance The school of practical experience has
probably not produced as many high fnanciers as
the colleges of the land, and this is to the shame
of the colleges Education makes rascal very
shrewd, and if it does not teach that the ethics of
business and Christian principles one, then, if
not a failure at least it shows moral lack which
leaves it far from perfection.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

The peace conference at The Hague has been
made light of by numerous writers on the subject.
One calls it farce others look upon it with des-
pendent gloom 1t does seem Just a triAe ridicu-
lous to attempt to render war humane, by denying
an enemy the fruits of victory or by limiting the
scope of activity of one nation against another
IN times of war We cannot quite get over the old
that "all is fair in love and war" To reduce
to nicely what is fair in war is like limiting the
ardOr of pair of lovers. But as the lover is bound
by certain Limitations, so may war be. Besides
questions which the conference will consider have
to do with ether things than war in its actuaIitv
so we refuse to be led to condemn the conference
IN the over-hasty of the extremists, wheth-
er they be abolitionists and millennial day dream
erS or desponent pessimists who see no good to be
accomplished by the conference.
Arbitration of differences between nations NAV
be wldened in its scope even if the world is drained
of its wealth to keep large armies and navies in I'm
productive employment. The proposals of differ
ent nations-the disarmament idea, the Drago doc
trne, the invioability of ocean commerce and rer
chant ma, ine-may be cast aside, but in aDv extern
sion of arbitration lies strong preventive If war

from seizure in times of war, those of neutral ma
tions may be guaranteed protection And the
rights and duties of neutral powers may be clearly
set forth. AT the present time there are serious
defects in the international codes, and these may
be remedied. Tribute and bombardment NAV be
regulated
So there is plenty of good to be ACCOMPLISHED
and the ambitions of world powers and others seek
ing to establish such distinguished title NAV be-
curbed in their desires by the enactment into law
for international guidance such tremendous COM
mercial risks will make war of too great COST
to be considered except as last resort.

EDUCATION AND BUSINESS.

1t is not fact that education makes for sue
cess, if, indeed, it is not hndrance to that sue
cess In many cases. Success we are now consider
ing in the simple meaning of worldly wealth. A
young man with all the qualities of a successful
business man may enter into the requirement of an
education with great zeal, profting by the oppor-
tunities afforded by the colleges and universities
of the land, and come out of the school into the
world gifted artist or musician, polished writer
or just dandy" In the business world, success
depends not any of these things. They no
doubt will mean money to their possessors and the
college education will afford mental training that
will aid in giving "the swift touch to business en-
terprises but the fact remains that the most sue
cessful business men today learned their business
and acquired their clear insight into the intrica-
cies of their calling in the rugged school of
practical experience. 1t might have been that they
would now be more successful if their minds had
been trained in higher schools, and yet they might
not have entered into business activities if they
had received the academic polish which is highly
priced and sought for today They might, indeed,
by the very education which it is supposed would
make them successful, be untitled for the pur
suits which their natural endowments fit them, and
In which they eminently successful.
In measuring this kind of success money is
the only standard But there is great moral duty
everybody owes to money. To make" money is not
always to earn" money. may make" a
fortune In few years, but it is very seldom man
can earn" much more than competence in his
active years The ideal set before the boy learning
the articles of business in the practical school is
very largely one to make money while the ethi-
cal standards inculcated by education to render
the recipient capable of earning" money. 1t de-
ponds much upon which school a man draws his
ideal from whether he is to live a successful mon
ey-getting life whether he is to look for some
thing better than money in this world. Commercial
activity has little to do with altruism and altruism
does not countenance taking from the other fellow
without just return.
This is point which the thousands of college
graduates who are turned out every year should
understand. We like to consider the college grad
uate as a guieless young man who is doomed to
great awakening, but he is equipped for life in
sphere where success is not of the sordid variety,
if he is drawn into activities where he makes"
more than he "earns"
And how many money makers" are there in the
world who ever made anything else9 What have
our men of great wealth done for the advance
ment of learning except indirectly by endowments9
How many of them are teachers architects, au-
thors? And what have they done for the triumph
of freedoml Very little, indeed. Busy during
most of their lives in appropriating what they
could not earn, they can hardly be called drones,
