mate OF expense for granting the
wage demands of employees on all
railroads is $100,000,o00.
The railroad stockholders and
not the employees get the other
$176,000,00O. Why are the rail-
roads in such a hurry? Because
they pretend to fear that congress
will amend the Interstate COM
merce law. to provide that the
commission shall pass upon the
reasonability of freight rate in
CT eases before allowing them to
become operative. Under the
p, esent law a shipper or consumer
may not protect against an in
crease in freight rates until he
can go before the commission and
show beyond reasonable doubt
that he has lost money trough
the operation of the increased
rates. One such protest has just
been won after a lawsuit lasting
10 years.
If the railroads are permitted
to put these increases in effect
you will not be able to dodge the
tax upon your household. IL
you eat bread you must FAY the
freight. They take their toll
from every piece OF meat your
family consumes. You cannot
even beat the game by dying, for
your estate will pay freight
rate on your coffin.
Calculated on an average of 20
Fer cent this latest plan will take

The railroads refused absolute

to the proposed increase, declar-
in g that 1t was unwise, in the face
OF the nationwide agitation
against the high cost of living
and the pending railroad bill in
congress. These railroads were

East Chicago. Aug. 23.-The storm
here early this morning was the worst
that has visited East Chicago since
the tornado in 1904 The greatest fl
nancial loss was sustained at the Re-
public mill it being estimated that it
Will cost at least $4,000 to repair the
damage. Chief Ben Flack and Officer
Dave Daniels nearly lost their lives
when they drove into the canal at
151st street while returning from a
fire in Oklahoma in the midst of the
storm.
Just before the storm broke the fire
department was called to put out a
blaze on 15lst street in Oklahoma
Chief Flack and his men responded and
after subduing the fire the chief and
officer Dave Daniels started for the sta
tion in the police buggy. In the mean
time the storm broke and was at its
height when they reached the bridge
over the canal at 151st street. All the
lights had been put out of commission
and the men were unable to see that
the planks on the bridge had been
carried away, and they drove onto what
they supposed was the bridge but in
stead were plunged into the canal.
The chief managed to swim ashore as
did also the horse but Daniels was
struck on the nose by either the horse
or the buggy and stunned but not
rendered entirely unconscious By this
time the truck driven by Fred Flint
had come up and barely escaped the
same fate.
Just before Flint got TO the bridge
he missed the buggy in front and pu
on the emergency brakes just in time
to stop right nthe brink of the canal
If the horses had taken another steI
they would have gone down on tol

about 200 feet away. He called to Officer

County has great deal to do with the
large amount of divorces that are filed
Many of the foreigners seem to have
very primitive ideas of the sanctity
of the marriage bond. At any rate a
large number of the divorces are filed
by foreigners who have left wives or
husbands in the old country and seek
to form new matrimonial alliances here.
But the cases are not limited to the
foreigners. Some Of the best families
are divided by divorce. Both the high
and the low are forced to face the judge
and tell why marriage has been fall
ure.
If the reporter who covers the courts
and is forced to read the stories CT
matrionial tragedies from day to day
| is not an exceedingly optimistic frame
| Of mind he is likely to look upon mar
| riage q game in which there is not
even a gamblers canoe.
| CaCs>s Are Plain.
The result of his observations is that
fully two thirds of the divorces name
drunkenness as one of the causes OF
domestic troubles and fully two thirds
name infideiity as the cause of the
lheartbreaks that lead to the divorce
court Fully one half of the complaints
name both OF these causes
So the hot weather being responsible
for an abnormal filing of divorce cases
1t is easy to see that the amount of
drinking is greater and the opportuni-
ties for clandestine meetings with
other mems wives is also greater. This
conclusion does not necessarily follow
but with the figures staring the people
; of Lake County in the face they had
: better look after their wives and hus-
bands.
MY wife's gone to the country
Hurrah. Hurrahr' may be sung to a
more solemn tune later on when the
divorce mill starts to grinding.

the proceeding three months there
were only 20 cases filed. In other
words out of &c cases that have been
fled during the past six months 46
of them were filed in hot weather.
Too Hot TO Love.
The answer is easy. The hot weather
Is conducive to conjugal infelicity;
what ever that is. You and your wife
may get along beautifully in the winter
time, your love may blossom and grow
in the spring when everything else is
blooming but beware of the sumner
months. The figures back up these
observations
And another thing may be observed
of Lake county. 1t has Reno, Nevada
backed off the boards when it comes to
the divorce business. Just think of it,
in three months out of 1871 cases Ned
as have been divorces. over "a per
cent of the cases filed in the Lake
Superior court during the last three
moE,hs have been divorces.
This means that IS families have
been wrecked in that time and that
many more children have been sepa-
rated from fathers or mothers or both.
And mind you this does not take into
consideration the cases that have been
filed in the Lake Circuit court at Crown
Point
august Grnsswfdows.
And along the line that hot weather
! is responsible for many matrimonial
tangles the court records show that in
the months of March, April and May
there were only 20 divorce cases filed
twenty out of the total of 1875 cases
filed. That makes the percentage fol
these months only 10.
Looking at 1t another way there were
nearly ~ as many divorce cases filed
in June, July and August as there were
! in March, April and May. There /.
J considerable significance in these fig
ures 1t is something worth thinkine
about. June brides make August grass
| widows.
| 1t is getting so that an average o.
one half of a divorce case is filed ever,
