CAN'T GET COURT
RELIEF BY FIGHTING
One Hundred Gary Citizens Cele-
brate Court Fight and Messrs.
Proctor, Bowser, Wickey and
Kiver Are the Only Legislators
Who Were Present at the Fight.

Bury the hatchet and get together"
This was the summary of advice
handed to the citizens of Gary last
night by the guest of honor at the
Lemon banquet held at the Gary no
tel The speaker was State Senator
E. R Proctor, of Elkhart, and he was
referring to tho recent memorable
struggle of the cities of Lake county
before the legislature, to obtain relief
for the present court congestion.
Caused a Sensation.
Senator Proctor is the man who lent
more influence than any other member
of the legislature for the passage of
the Gary bill, and has studied the To-
cal situation through all the varied
stages Of the fight. After explaining
how the court bills were defeated
Senator Proctor caused profound SEN
sation when he finished with the
words, Gary and Hammond must
consider the rights of each other They
must get together, for you can't get
relief by fighting"
Senator Proctor spoke last night to
over a hundred citizens of Gary who
met for the purpose of celebrating
their gallant ght. even though they
acknowledged by their decorative
scheme in yellow. that they ahd suf-
fered defeat They felt, however, that
there was no disgrace in their defeat
and the slogan of the speakers. re-
iterated in the applause of the guests
was that the fight had just begun. and
that the banquet. after the next tern
of the legislature, would be a plum
instead of a lemon variety of a cele-
bration.
Nothing Sour About Banquet.

banquet last night except the lemons

AEADE'S WATER SYSTEM
Is In Bad Shape and Needs
Immediate Attention.
everyone SHOULD GET INTERESTED
And Assist the Council in a
Proper Solution

Atthe city council meeting last
Monday night the matter of a new
waterworks system for Meade was
discussed. The facts are that the
present tank is in bad condition and
is liable to spring an irreparable leak
at any time and is also liable to fall
down as some of the large timbers
which are directly under the tank
are rapidly rotting away. A new
engine has been needed for some
time so that we practically need a
new system.
We are right up against the prop
osltion whether we are to have a
| waterworks system Oh not, whether
we are to have fire protection or not.
That is for the people of the city to
say. The old system has not cost
anything in the way of taxes and has
saved several times its cost when
fire threatened the city.
The only course open is to vote
boi-ds for it and If this is done the
amount should be enough to put in
substantial system that would last
for many years. From $40 to SIS,
900 would probably put in a good
system, extend the mains and put it
on a substantial business basis.
The people who expect to remain
here permanently, the merchants,
and everyone interested in making
Meade a first class city should get
to work and help the council solve
the problem.
The couneil will hold a special
meeting next Monday night to talk
the matter over and would be pleas,
ed to have everyone interested at
tend and have your say in the mat
ter. They want to determine the
matter at the spring election.

NOT To MisIead.

In last weeks Globe appeared the
following:
"Among the bills allowed at the
last meeting of the board the Globe
notices: |. F. Conrad, CO. Com
and expenses to- Topeka, S84.
]. w. King, CO. com. and expenses
to Topeka@s8I.2o; William Jobling,
co. com, and expenses to Topeka
$50. S4. Will the 'sof6cial organ"
please tell the taxpayers what this
junk ting trip was all about and
what was accomplished? The Globe
readers would like to know"
Now, should we attempt any ex-
pianation that paper would say it
was more .'bluf'' and that we were
trying to mislead the public, so we
refer you to the county clerks rec
ords for the information and will
ask that yoa publish it Just as it is
found there.
The fact is that you are off half
cooked again-ln fact you go that
way most all the time You will
find that Sthe charges are legal and
that the county got value received
for the same. You better look up
some other items which were al
lowed and you will find that the
county did not get value received al
though the county could be held le-
gally for it.
y county commissioner cannot be
a narrow, contracted individual, for
if he is it is liable to cost the county
much more than be attempts to
save by being penurious.
You will find by consulting the
county clerk that Mr.. Paul has or
expects to go on '.junketing' trip
shortly, in connection with the same
matter, and we presume the "official
organ" will be called upon to ex-
plain the expenditures of the present
republican board.
We would suggest that you in
qulre into the bill filed by Harry
Bone for $500 for services render
ed in the bond matter and report to
your readers what you think about
it. This bill was presented at the
January meeting and was checked
up to the new board by that horrible
democratic board about whom you
have had so much to say.

Relics of 1000 9. c.

An English antiquarian VINO has
been Just recently doing work in Peru
has brought out some very interesting
relics and more interesting informa-
ton concerning the people who lived
in that land in prehistoric times. He
dug into an Inca burying ground sit
uated about 200 miles from Lima,
where he found relics dating back to
about 1000 years B. C. When the
bodies were exposed to the air the
bones and skulls crumbled. Eacn
grave contained the remains of food
and glazed clay jugs and two long
handles and cover. with long. tap
ering spout, which were filled with
liquid supposed to have been wine OF
some kind. The cast of the features
of these ancient Peruvians resembled
the Mongolians. with scattering OF
Indian and negro types, according to
the discoverer. The warriors could
be easily distinguished by their great
wooden clubs resting on the left arm
or their huge copperheaded battle
axes. beaten out from the pure metal.

HUMANE EDUCATION OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN.

OF all work, the most important
in the line of humane endeavor is
that of the humane education of the
children. California is one OF twelve
states in which there are laws pre-
scribing instruction in humane edu-
cation. But before any real OF ap-
preciable gain to the children can
result, this important study must be
placed upon an equal footing with
the olher branches in the school.
This important instruction merits
something more than "wedged in
place among othe studies.
1t is evident that all children
must have moral training. The ma
iority of them will go entirely with
out it unless the public school comes
to the rescue.
There is great need of scientific
humane" text books. the preparation
of which must be thoughtfully un-
dertaken. They must be written
from an enlightened humane stand
point, and fact and sentiment must
go together. If such text books were
at hand, it certainly would facili-
tate the work of securing for the
study its proper place in the schools.

In a Submarine.

In describing the sensations under
water one of the crew said: Tine
first sensation that you feel when she
goes under the water is the COM
preston. The farther down she
goes, the heavier the compression be-
comes. This is noticed mostly In
the ears. A ringing sensation comes
to you, and as you drop the ringing
becomes more pronounced. 1t Is sim
liar to hearing a buzz saw in the dis
lance, and then as you get nearer the
sound is heavier. When the boat stops
sinking and starts ahead, the feeling
becomes less pronounced, and in
short time you pay little attention to
Ii. This is the case every time we
submerge. Under the water and be-
low the level OF the sea, the 'oat goes

about six hours. and then the bat
teries must be recharged. This is done
by the gasoline engines. The principal
objection to submarine boat is the
noise. The engine is placed right in
the room where the men eat and
sleep. and the noise from the engine
not only makes conversation very
difficult. but it also interferes with
sleeping. According to the men who
have made several cruises on this
type Of boat, the noise of the engine
Is the one thing that they cannot get
to- When the men try to
sleep on their first night out 1t is
nearly impossible. After several days
they become partly accustomed to the
noise, but their sleep is broken. This
is the same on every trip. The men
selected Tor service on a submarine
must first serve a fall enlistment on
one of the large boats. The service, on
account of its many hardships, pays
better than for any other branch OF
the navy. The men are. allowed 81 each
