anteed to all.
A corrupt practices act should be
passed limiting the expenditures for
the several Offices, so that poor and
rich alike should have an equal
chance to be chosen as representa-
tives Of the people. Such Is the law
in Great Britain governing the choice
of members Of Parliament and SINH
lar laws are no won the statute books
of several of the States.
Practically no complaints of cor
rupt expenditures are heard in En-
gland. A defeated candidate there
can cause an investigation before a
court. The result is that all are care
full and the old corruption has been
nearly done away with.
Kentucky is cursed with too much
politics. No sooner is a man chosen
for office than he must begin can
vass for denomination. Take the
local fight in Clark county. More
than a year before the election, the
candidates were in the field for the
county Offices. And in the State, in
the Beckham-M -McCreary fight for the
Senate, the primary was held two
years before there was to be va
cancy.
A well regulated State primary law
fixing the times for nominations, re-
inforced with a thorough corrupt
practices act would go far to do away
with ''too much politics."

HERzOG
MAKES FINE
ADDRESS
Mayor Of Mishawaka Ad-
dresses Catholic Foresters
at Smoker for State Off1c-
ers Given in Weis' Hall,
Hammond, Last Night.

The meeting of the state court of
the Catholic Foresters in Hammond
yesterday will undoubtedly result in
an increased activity in the ranks all
over the state. according to local For
esters, who attended the state court
session and the smoker last night The
society in Indiana was In no particular
need of a stimulant or impetus just
at this time, but the occasion yes
terday was undoubtedly a great in
vigorator and the effects of the meet
ing are far reaching.
Backed up by the opinion of experts
that the biggest feature of the Catho-
lie order of Foresters. its insurance
to members is sound and up p-to-date,
the state court is taking the lead TO
increase the membership and work
along this line Will be actively pursued
during the ensuing year. To stimulate
the interest the state court has divided
the state according to the number of
courts into north and south section.
the Wabash river being the dividing
line. AS a second step it has set aside
a bonus fund to be divided among the
two sections. As a third step an ex-
tension committee, composed of mem
bers of the state court. was appointed
who are planning ways and means for
the field work. This committee will
meet at Lafayette next Sunday. 1t Is
composed of Michael Lauerman of this
city as chairman and has for it's other
members, Jacobs Dienhardt, George
Strickfadden and Louis Busha of Laf-
ayette and W. +. Ward of Otterbein,
Ind. It Is highly probably that when
they will get together next Sunday
that they will divide the state into
eleven districts in order to enhance
the competition not only between the
north and south. but also among va
rious sections of the state. They will
in all probability carry this plan into
detail reaching the individual cour IS
and finally the individual member him
self AS a further stimulant the initia-
ton fee. which is now So. will in all
probability be reduced 10 81 for pc
riod of seven months
The smoker last night was a most
pleasant feature of the day. The state
court was given a reception at Long s
hall and was attended by many of the
local Foresters and a number of out
of-town visitors. John A. Herzog. may
or of Mishawaka. who is the state
chief ranger, made the principal ad-
dress of the evening. and was fol-
lowed by the other members of the

BRANCH To
Be BUILT IN
HAMMOND

The Illinois Car and Manufacturing
company, which has capital stock of
s1G0, 900, has incorporated in Indiana for
$4,000 for the purpose of building the
branch in Hammond.
P. H. Joyce is named as the presi-
dent OF the company. The concern is
now engaged in the construction of a
plant on the north side in Hammond
and is rushing the work as rapidly as
possible.
The new concern, as stated in the
TINES before, is expected to employ
500 men at the start. and will later
increase the capacity of the local plant
until 1T will employ in the neighborhood
of 1000 men.
The men connected with this com
pany are locating in this city and the
officials are securing residences here
as fast as they can get hold Of them.
The scarcity of houses, however, is one
of the discouraging features of their
locating in Hammond.

AMATEUR
HUNTSMEN
SMELL BAD
Men Get Some
Shell Ducks at Lake
George, and Oh MY, What
an Odiferous Tale This Is
Going to Be.

Anybody who is on very friendly
terms with Judge Frank Prest, William
Pepperdine and Henry Lundt may take
the liberty these days of asking them
how they enjoyed their duck dinner.
To be more specific they may be asked
how they liked shell drake or fish
duck.
Now there are ducks and ducks, but
of all the nauseating taste in a fowl.
that of a shell drake or fish duck is
about the worst.
There is good hunting on Lake
George these days, and one may go out
almost any day and secure fine brace
of ducks from the huntsmen on the
lake. Messrs. Prest, Lundt, Pepperdine,
Eric Lundt. and Jimmy frost were at
the lake yesterday to negotiate with
the hunters for part of their game. In
big heap lay the mudhens, red heads,
shell drake, teal ducks and mallards.
They were tempting lot to the un-
suspecting. All of them rummaged
around in the pile and all, with the ex-
ception of Jimmy frost, had an eye as
to size and plumage of the birds. Jim
my picked out a number of mudhens,
for they are good, and also found a
number OF red heads. The others not
being connoiseurs of game, secured
large numbers Of shell drake. All
had larger number of birds than Jim
my. On the way home they grew
generous, and they wanted to divide
their number of Jimmy. Just then
Jimmy saw something through the car
window which made him smile broad
~. but he assured them he thought
that he had a suffciency and hoped
that they would enjoy their feast.
Arriving in the business district,
where they showed their game, know
ing glances We're passed around. and all
with the exception of Jimmy frost
grew suspicious. They came to Jim
my for advice but Jimmy had to blow
his nose, when he imagined how the
she'll drake would smell on the table
and incidentally to hide another smile.
He assured his questioners again that
their game had q long bill and fine
plumage and that the test of the birds
would be the eating of them. He opined
further that the knowing smiles which
were passed around were caused by the
fact that men who laid no claim TO
ability as huntsmen should come home
with so much game,
At any rate, Jimmy had a feast today
at his home. and just what the other
! three had can only be learned by ask
ing them. Eric Lund was fortunate
enough to secure one or two good birds
along with his counterfeits.

Up GOES
THE PRICE
Of MILK
Eight Cents a Quart and
Five Cents a Pint Will
Be Charged by Hammond
Milkdealers, Who Charge
Farmers With Boost.

The price OF milk in Hammond and
West Hammond after Dec. l will prob
ably be cents quart, and 10 cents
II bought by the pint for the latter
measure is to sell at cents.
These figures and the date have not
been definitely decided on, that is. they
are not as sure as death, but any 100
to-1 bet to the effect that milk will sell
at 8 cents a quart after Dec 1 may be
considered a good one. With these fig
ures a pint of milk is put on a par
with a pint OF beer, or a loaf of bread.
Milk is higher just now" said e
big Hammond dealer this morning than
it has ever been, and in my opinion
the price is unreasonable. The value
of a quart of milk. taking into consid-
GRAFTON the cost of production, is not
worth cents. But both the dealer and
the consumer is at the mercy Of the
farmer
The only explanation that I can
give for the high price is the fact that
the farmers surrounding Chicago are
in strong union by which they can
control prices almost arbitrarily. They
get it into their heads that the dealer
is making an enormous profit and they
demanded 70 get some OF TINS, ana Sc
they have raised the price step by step
According to the last raise. which went
into effect on the 1st of October, they
have demanded an increase of little
more than a cent a quart. 1t naturally
follows that the dealers must raise
without any profit themselves. The
prices are fixed twice year. in May
and October. There is no telling wheth-
er the farmer win reduce the price next
May or not

FOOTBALL STAR
PARALYZED

New York, Nov. 1s.-"Dad"
White, fullback of the Fordham
eelven, may never again play foot
ball. His injury in the game
against Rensselaer, Saturday is far
more serious than at first imagin-
ed. Whites lower limbs are al
most completely paralyzed. So
grave is his condition that Ford
ham has called in an eminent spe-
cialist, who will subject the foot
ball player to an X-ray examina-
ton. Every possible energy is now
being devoted toward controlling
the injury before it assumes a fatal
character. It is the opinion of
specialists that Whites athletic
days are over and that he may be
crippled for life. His chances Of
complete recovery are remote, it is
stated.
