Woman Stops Sermon.

Before a congregation of nearly a
thousand persons, and while the
preacher was in the midst of his SER
mon, at Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs. A.
b. Sims, a society woman and holder
of the national woman's whist cham
pionship, arose Sunday morning in
the University Church of Christ and
denounced card playing as a sin.
Mrs. Sims is one of the most prom
inent of the city. For many
years she has been an active member
of wopien's clubs which affect whist
and other card games. Two years ago
Mrs. Sims won the first prize for
women in the whist tournament held
at Cleveland. Last year at St. Louis
she won the national woman's cham
pionship.
1t is said that recent evangelical
meetings held in the city are respon-
sible for the change in Mrs. Sims
ideas. She attended all of these meet
ings, which lasted for three weeks,
and since that time has come to the
conclusion that all card games are
wrong.
During the service Sunday morn
ing Mrs. Sims impulsively stood up
and renowned card games forever.
Her friends in the congregation
who knew Of her pride in her whist
triumphs, gasped in amazement. She
had told no one of her intentions.

So far as Berger is concerned the

He Is For Reform.

Gov. Charles E. Hughes, of New
York, in his first message to the leg
islature. made the following recon-
mendations:
A o of the votes cast for
mayor in the New York city election
in 1905, when, on the face of the re-
turns Hearst was defeated by George
d. Mcclellan; that the courts be em-
powered to order a recount summar-
lily in the future and that the power
to bring an action to try a title to
office be taken from the attorney gen.
eral and conferred upon the supreme
court.
The adoption of a new ballot
whereon the name of a candidate will
appear but once.
That the amount of money which
a candidate may expend to procure
his election be limited.
That the courts be empowered to
review the acts Of political state con-
ventions and state committees in ex-
polling delegates and members.
That any general committee of a
party may adopt rules for direct NOM
nations of candidates at primaries
That the state board of railroad
commissioners and the commission
of gas and electricity be abolished
and a new board be constituted with
power to enforce its orders through
the courts

FOGARTY PUTS LID ON.
Mayor Issues Sweeping Order for
South Bend.

The lid is or in South Bend. Not
partially on; not tilted to one side;
not on for a few and off for others;
but on for everybody and on tightly.
In tact there is a weight upon the
cover emblematic of reform. and woe
unto him who dares to tilt it one>jot
or title. The reform wave has ar
rived. 1t has swept the city majesti-
cally and has carried everything in
the way of vice before it. The laws
must be obeyed. The order went
forth from the office of Mayor Ed
ward ]. Fogarty and it is to hold
sway indefinitely.
The lid has not been on long. The
reform wave, in truth, did not arrive
until Thursday evening. 1t is far
reaching however, and covers every
feature that is associated with what
is known as a wide open town. The
order was given by Mayor Fogarty
to Chief OF Police McWeeny Thurs
day night. The orders were issued
to every man in the police depart
ment at roll call at z O'Clock. They
were instructed to see that the laws
relative to vice are obeyed to the let
ter, and to note and report all viola
tons. In accordance with these in
structions the city was closed tighter
than it has been in years. Even the
mayor himself could be seen hustling
about the business. district afer IL O.
clock to observe the effect of his new
order.
The order embraces every depart
ment known to vice and corruption.
The edict says with all positiveness
that the saloons must close in the fut-
ure at IL o'clock at night, that they
must not be open on holidays or after
hours, that the Sunday closing rule
must be obeyed, that gaming devices
will not be tolerated and that the Ii.
quor laws will be enforced to the let
ter. The order goes further. 1t de-
clares hat bawdy houses will not be
tolerated, that gambling must cease,
and that all forms of vice must be
stopped. Violators will be severely
punished, as the various proprietors
have been notified. Roulette, slot ma
chimes, pool rooms, poker rooms and
in fact, everything contrary to law is
included in the edict.
South Bend will be a closed town
in the future. At least this is what
city authorities say is the meaning of
the mayors edict. Following his usua.
custom the mayor is non-committal.
He declines, to have anything what
ever to say for publication. He leaves
the public to be the judge. The order
recognizes no Intermediate stage, it
evidently being the purpose of the adj
ministration to have either a closed
town in every sense of the word, or
under other conditions a wide open
town in every particular.

LANDED IN BREMEN.
Young German With Family Is
Found Destitute.

Emigrating from Russia, where de-
velopments during the last few years
have made life unbearable for the
man in moderate circumstances, and
expecting to find a brother-in-law
in this country, Wilhelm Stappe, a
young German, who was born and
reared in Russia, with his wife and
two children arrived in Bremen
Thursday evening, after travelling
over 10000 miles which completely
exhausted his funds and left him pen
niless and without friends. Stappe,
with his family, left Russia to seek d
home in the land of the free, and ex-
pected to find his wife's brother, who
has lived in America for some time.
The only address Stappe, had how
ever. was Bremen, North America"
being ignorant of the fact that there
are dozens of towns named Bremen
in the United States.
Their troubles began, however, be-
fore they left home. The steamship
agent took them in charge aud ship
ped them to different European ports
finally landing them at Liverpool.
Here a British agent for a steamship
lien took them in tow and sent them
to Newfoundland. With only the slip
of paper addressed Bremen, North
America" to designate their destina-
ton they were sem hither and thither
over the whole breadth of the United
States, being as far west as the Pa
cihc pecan. They were finally return
ed to Chicago, where the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad shipped them to
Bremen, Indiana. There they arrived
penniless, discouraged and friendless.
until Rev. R~oesener, of the Lutheran
church. discovered their dilemma and
secured employment for the husband
at the Holland Radiator Works,
found them an empty house, and pur-
chased the necessary household fur
niture to start in their new home.
Nh. Stappe is a young man about
30 years of age, well educated, and
with his family, will receive every
consideration from our citizens, who
join in the hope that they may here
find the home they 50 long sought in
their extended neutrality-suspicious.

Obscene Advanced Thought.

There is no possible objection to a
mans rolling himself in a muck heap.
That is his privilege. But there is
every objection when the man insists
that other people shall join him in
the proceeding. He then trenches up
on other peoples rights and becomes
a nuisance.
Some scores of people gathered in
a hall the other day and welcomed
back to Chicago a man who has been
spending some time in the penitentl-
airy for sending obscene matter
through the mails. These people loud
ly ~applauded the returned prisoner
when he declared that he meant to
repeat his offense. They talked loud
ly about the right Of free speech and
a free press. What they really meant
was that everybody must join them
in a roll on the muck heap.
That is the effect of promulgating
printed filth. 1t besmears and con-
teammates people who detest it and it
forces foulness upon the young. The
right of free speech and a free press
does not mean and never did mean
that people are free to scatter a con-
tagion more deadly than smallpox.
That is not freedom but criminal Ii
cense.
Why should these children of free
dom insist upon spreading their mast
mess broadcast? Why should they
seek to roll everybody in their muck
heap, to force everybody to partake
of carrion with them? Have other
people no rights as against the prop
agators of moral pestilence? Is all
the freedom to be on one side of the
matter?
If these people really enjoy wal
lowing why should not they do their
wallowing in private or at least why
should not they keep themselves to
therns elves in their ~convocations?
Why not let the general public alone
quit assailing the noses of people?
There is no tyranny involved in such
{ policy. 1t is simply a matter of per-
sonal liberty and independence which
ought to be enjoyed by those who
have no sympathy with people who
get into the penitentiary for circu-
lating obscene literature.
The amount of it is that the com
munity has a right to be protected
against the nastiness Of a clique OF
people who teach obscenity in the
yuise of advanced thought" Ii these
people desire to befoul themselves
let them do so, but when they insis;
upon befouling others they will and
should find themselves in jail.
Any person who sends obscenity
through the mails ought to be i'm
prisoned-Chicago Chronicle.

The heartless wretch, who says he
murdered Miss Schafer, ought to be
taken at his word and hung on gener-
al principles. That's the kind of a
race suicide The Herald believes in.
Instead of getting more people in the
world we should get out many that
are in it. The Russian who killed his
wife in New York and told the police
it was nobody's business but his own
is also a fit subject for the hangman's
moose. The sooner we get such cat
tie out Of this country, Or out of the
world, for that matter, the better.
Then there is that miserable organi-
cation of Italian scoundrels known as
the Malta. Get rid of it by all means.
Hang its members as high as Ha-
man, that no more remembrance may
be had of its evi! doings. Let's make
hts country intolerable for deadbeats
1runkards, murderers, grafters and
,awbreaekrs of every kind. In that
way we will be Fastening the millen-

1T Senator Bailey is denied a re-
election by the Texas Democrats it
will, we think, be the first instance
in American politics of a candidate
being defeated without anyone run
ming against him. The case eve now
is unique.
There is undoubtedly serious OPP
position to Senator Bailey's reeIec-
ton, but it is NOT the opposition
which whchh as for its center an op-
posing candidate. The anti aileyites
are vigorous in their purpose to de-
feat Mr.. Bailey, but they have no one
TO suggest in his place. A dozen men
of more or less prominence have
been perfunctorily mentioned" but
not one Of them has secured a fol-
lowing.
The policy of the opposition seems
TO be to beat Bailey first and look for
a man to succeed him when that has
been accomplished. 1t is an imper-
sonal movement in the sense that it is
not designed to advance the ambition
of anybody.
Whether a successful political cam
paign be conducted upon such a basis
remains to be seen. The result will
be interesting because of the novelty
of the issue involved.

Fall Road Work.

Chesterton Tribune: There is only
one thing | want TO ask you to do.
Bowser, when you go to 1~ndianapo-
lis this winter, and that is to abolish
this id fall road work This re-
quest has been made to me by almost
every farmer that / have seen since
| was elected to the senate. And yet,
to give the people any relief means
the destruction OF Ernie Trips raj
road monopoly, and Ernie has en-
trenched himself SO strongly in the
state that it is all but impossible to
touch him. He has agents in every
supervisors district in the state to
see that his interests are not disturb
ed and when a legislator attempts to
remedy the evil he finds himself up
against-not Ernie Trip, but against
he farmers themselves. The thing to
do is to abolish road supervisors en-
tirely, and abolish all road work
taxes. Let every man pay his road
taxes in cash and then the railroads
will not be getting their work done
for sixty cents on the dollar, and the
trustees can go out and hire good
men and teams, and pay them market
prices for a days work, and get a
days work for the money. By doing
nermaueuf work on the roads IN a
few years a township would have
something to show for IT'S money
Now, there is absolutely nothing to
show for it.
