TIE WORLD GROWS BETTER.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Said my neighbor-
what a trail of corruption has been
over the landi Foulness in San Frau
cisco. graft in Albany, shame in CO..
lumbus, bribery in Springfield, per.
version Of justice in Chicago. I tell
you the world is not growing better"
But hold,
Think you the world knew nothing
of craft and greed and graft in the
day when civilization was young?
Why, you may read that, 5000 years
ago.. "Samuel's SOM walked not in hix
ways, but urned aside after lucre and
took brides, and perverted justice"
And the sons of Samuel are yet with
us.
There Is evil in the world and hN
man nature is much the same as in
the days of Israel, but
1t is also true that the world has a
greater stock of goodness than eve
before. Broadly speaking
The peoples sense of justice is keen
er. There are more helping hands.
There are more kind hearts. There
is wider opportunity for the merciful.

"of course you heard the scandal
about Mr.. Latimer and Mrs. Rice?'
No. what?'
Why. he has been staying right
down near the Rices' cottage and going
about everywhere with Mrs. Rice, sail
ing and driving and riding. Everybody
is talking about them. guess Mr..
Rice is the only person in the settle
ment who doesn't know what's going
on That's the way it always is, you
know, the last person in ton TO know
about a scandal is the hus-
band. But. may dear, / don't see how
that can be news to you. / told your
sister Marcia all about it yesterday.
Marcia! Well, you might as well
expect me to hear of it by your tell
ing it to that lamppost out there. Any
thing like that always stops with her"
All of which conversation. to which
1 nance to be a casual listener, l have
repeated that may say. Three cheers
and a tiger for Marcia"
Can you think of any prouder praise
than her sisters complaint. Anything
like that always stops with herr"

Not long ago 1 met, twice in the same
week, a young married man and a young
woman, to whom he had been very
attentive before his marriage, together
in a city several miles from their home.
When 1 came home my natural i'm
pulse. of course, was to speak of what
II had seen. Several times actually

THE JEWEL OF CONSISTENCY.

Apropos the recent dramatic marriage of Mrs. Eugene Adams" who
IN order to comply with the terms of her eccentric uncles will, which made
the woman the testators legal benencny provided she would marry within
a week. the country has stood aghast at the idea that there were actually
men in the universe, who would sell themselves ino an hours husbandhood
fol the paHry sui o 5000, he mou Mrs. Adams offered for a gentle
man who would accommodate Ter to the extent of becoming her husband for
an hour
There is no doubt that this is n atrocous thing o do, but how many
Men are there who for a financial consideration are willing to sell them
selves for life? How many men and women, too. for that matter, literally
marry money and nothing else worthy Of consideration, when they stand
before the altar and make their pledges for until death do us part"
This state of affairs is not SO common in the United States, to be sure
inspite Of h European assertion that all tn American cares for is h al
mighty donar-as in any other country, but it is becoming quite common
over on this side of the Atlantic.
And yet these alliances are by society clothed with the habijments OF
righteousness and responsibility.
Oh, consistency, thou are indeed a jewel!

GARY ALDERMEN TAKE ACTION.

Last night the Gary aldermen did two good things, while a third good
thing they might have done, but didn't do it.
which va fathered by Alderman Castleman INC which was about as odoor-
ous piece O legislation that ever came before n city council.
This meant that for the first time in a year Caslemans power was held
in check and some assurances we're given that the sinister shadow that he
has cast over the city administration will be eliminated or h time being
Angered because his plans were defeated. the intoxicated alderman tried
to resign, but the council CAV him a chance. For the benefit of al concerned
it would have been best had it been acted upon.
Only two aldermen stuck with asteman lastn night One was Walsh,
who will wake II p I'M day and then ret IN the side of decency a. there seems
be opportunities for him.
Gibson, the newly elected alderman, made a miserable failure last night
the nw Toneson representative voting with Casteman in everything that
was efarfous, but h e toe may see a light. If Gibson does nt see the straight
path he wl be classed with Casleman. To Antony Baukus credit, also a
newly elected alderman, it may be stated that lie opposed bad measures last
night which leads to h conclusion that he may be determined to be a use

CALUMET RIVER RESPONSIBLE.

Gary. notwithstanding the fact that its crib is located farther from the
Jake shore than that of any of the rest of the Calumet region cities, is
wruhing in the grasp Of a typhoid fever epidemic of apparently greater
maIgnence judging from the number of fatalities, than is usual in typhoid
epidemicsh ereabouts.
It signifies that a clean bill of health will lever b accorded the Calumet
region cities. until the Calumet river, that cesspool reekfng with the waste
produced by a population of $4,000 is cleansed.
In constructing TIL Gary water system, every reasonable precaution was
taken to guard against Lake countys omipresent curse, typhoid fever. The
lance from the shore. The filtration equipment was perfect The people
of Gary we're told that they we're safe from the menace which has beer the
bugaboo of other cities of the region ever since they became cities
The presence o. a fully developed typhoid fever epidemic raging in Gary
prodaims the futnity of attempting to do anything in the way of securing a
heathful water supply from Lake Michigan, until u m as the sourceo
the evil the Calumet river ceases to pour its tons upon tons of unspeakable
filth into the fountain head.
Then, and OF until then, may the people who derive their waters supply
from Lake Michigan, feel safe.

SELLING GOLD BRICKS.

Says the Washington Herald:
The great secret of the goldbrick business, so far al the selling of
article is concerned, is that it must be sold in a manner in variablv
That is the secret o almost any fraud. Nine times GU of ten, where
a person is cheated, 1t is accomplished through the desire to get something
fol nothing. That is the basis of the greatest fraud, the most persistento ne
thai was eve prepetrated in this counhy-the green goods games, IS it
is called.
There is n 10 way of w estimating the number of people who have
been swinded by the socared green goods men. Hundreds of in
stances have beer published, but it is safe to sy that thousands of instances
occur where the public does not hear of it because always the person cheated
hs been a party to What he believed al a fraudulent game
As a matter of fact. if it were possible to remove the desire of obtain
ing something for nothing, there would be very little fraud lin this or IN
other county-that is if the desire could be removed om those defrauded
it would not be necessary to remove it from those who defaud; they would
be of a job any way. But ne might as well talk about removing the

Donald w. Combs. a native of

trict of Yauco, in Porto Rico, has

judge, only twenty-one years old, Is
in charge of a big district filled with
reckless Latin-Americans. His chief
town, Guanco, is a sugar town and

been frequent in other districts as a
result of the campaign, his district
has escaped. He called five known
assassins of the two parties before
him at the campaigns start and put
them under peace bonds of $4,000.
That might have kept the peace.
But they could not put up the bonds
and he adopted the summary and
effective method of throwing the
five into jail till after election.
