The Way the WhistIe Worked.

An old-time Mississippi River
steamboat captain. who had been
successful in raising fruit in the
Northwest. could not get over his
longing to hear q whistle blow.
When his bank account had reached
a certain figure he had miniature
steamboat made. and placed it in a
small river near his ranch.
How is she built?" some one
asked him.
"Well, she has a five-foot boiler
and a seven-fOot whistle" the cap
tain said proudly.
Does the whistle wOrk?'
Work? OF course it works.
Every time she blows the engine

No SIouch,

The men in the Pullman smoker
were arguing rs to who was the
greatest inventor. One said Steph-
enson. who invented the locomotive
and made fast travel possible. An
other said it was the man who in
vented the compass; which enabled
men to navigate the seas. Another
contended for Edison. Still another
for the Wrights.
Finally one of them turned to a
little man who had remained silent:
Whom do you think"
Vell," he said, with a hopeful
smile, the man who invented in
terest was no slouch."

A Simple Fly Exterminatoc.

When the flies become troublesome
they can always be got rid of by q
very simple mixture: Halt tea
spoonful of black pepper finely
ground, should be mixed with double
the quantity of brown sugar, the
compound to be moistened with con-
densed milk. The flies will generally
eat greedily of this mixture if placed
where they can easily reach it; but
it will be their last meal for the least
taste of it will poison a fly. II
watched they will often be seen to
drop dead within short distance of
the plate which they have just left
and some of the greediest eaters do
not live to leave the plate.

WHOLE NUMBER 2,6O5.
LET cAPIPAL AND LABOR UNITE,

The true nature OF the struggle be-
tween labor and capital is becoming
more and more apparent. For years
the real aim of the employing class
was so adroitly concealed that only
a few clear-sighted students of econ
omies saw the real animus and the
constant trend of industrial condi-
tions have changed so rapidly and the
merging of the smaller into the lar
ger enterprises has come about in so
short space of time that very few
have been able to keep pace with the
tremendous revolution in our indus
trial system. Instead of the multi
tude of little Independent shops, we
now have the colossal mergers and
monopOliStic control of great enter
prises. And this has gone on until
even now, we have become a world of
masters on the one hand and serfs on
the other.
1t is now manifest that, under the
ultimate development of the master
and serf system, industrial peace is
impossible upon any other basis than
abject servility on the part of the
workers and naughty masterfulness
on the part of the favored few. And
such conditinos, if the American
workmen can be forced to submit to
them, would be altogether incompat-
ible with the highest attainable type
of citizenship, among either the mas
ters or the slaves.
Whatever the inevitable deteriOra-
ton of American manhood or Ameri-
can citizenship, under such cOndi-
tions. it is certain that the master
class has Systematically set about
maintaining just such a state of in
dustrial affairs. Todo this they must
degrade and enserf labor and enrich
and exalt the masters. And it is
now evident that that is the pro-
gramme which is being wrought out.
The most cursory glance at current
and recent events will demonstrate
the animus and intent of capital.
The election of man to the Presiden-
cy who had during all of his public
life life shown his utter disregard of
the rights of labor; the systematic
attempt on the part of the judiciary
to deprive labor Of its lawful power
to defend its rights; the makeup of
Mr.. Taft's cabinet, and the stubborn
refusal of corporations to recognize
the demands of labor-Ihese and a
number of other high-handed acts of
employing class, 60 to show that
there is no hope for the workingmen
under our present system.
Will not labor institute a common
sense policy to better this trend and
conditions? Vinegar never catches
flies. Let reason convince that mu-
tual benefit will be promoted by a
policy of peace and cooperation,
and stop this alienation of forces
that should travel hand in hand.

In front of the Hotel Des Indies is a
WOringer tree, said to be the finest
of its kind in existence and there is
an interesting legend connected with
it. About the time Mali expected to
give birth to Buddha, she concealed
herself in the center of this tree and
made herself bed. On the following
day, without warning. all the thous-
ands of roots and branches closed
down, completely covering her before
the very eyes of the people. Indria,
the Rain God, assumed the form of
an old woman to receive the child
Buddha, after which he made seven
steps towards the North, East,
South and West. exclaiming 81 am
superior to all the gods" When
Buddah entered the world, it became
very much agitated and there were
severe earthquakes, followed by wind
and rain storms, after which there
was q peaceful calm accompanied by
showers of fragrant flowers from the
Heavens above. Allah, to show his
appreciation, then said Il will make
this holy tree, by placing the nerve
or veins of the leaf on top instead OF
underneath as is the case of all trees
OF this kind The traveller who
visits Batavia can to-day see the
leaves with the veins on top OF the
leaf on this tree in front OF the hotel.

the residents were especially pleased
to receive us, and nothing was left
undone to make our stay pleasant

Heretofore, with two exceptions,
we have been visiting places under
British control. Here We saw o

had an opportunity to compare con-
ditions under the respective mode Of

of this island are apparently far in
advance of those we have been under

cation and material prosperity.

John Faulkner of Michigan City,

Porte county looms up head and

in the legislature, and for this reason
Ed Simon of Hammond, who is a per-

optimistic about his election to the
speakership of the house.
Faulkner is not only a veteran in
the legislature. this being his third
term, but he is also popular with the
democrats. Above all he has the quail

of which are his organizing abilities, .

JUDGE BROWN
BELIEVES Il
WILL WORK

Judge Brown, the promoter of the
Boyville movement in Gary, was in
Hammond yesterday and talked enthu
siastically of his plans for a boy city
in the new steel city.
Judge Brown believes that the Gary
plan will be more successful than any
that has yet been undertaken. The
Gary plan differs from the Hammond
plan in that the Boyville officers will
be backed in their efforts to exert
authority over incorrigibles by the
school officers.
The Boyville movement will be part
of the educational system of the pub
lie schools and will be known as the
department of moral education. Judge
Brown hopes to make Gary's Boyville
the model of its kind in the United

Meeting.

The Elks' automobile and lot will
be ratified next Monday evening at the
Towle opera House, and the lodgemen
invite all of their friends to be pres
ent. The drawing will be made by dis
interested citizens, and will take place
between parts of the show that will be
given in connection Howe's pictures
will be shown.
The meeting of Elks and the initia-
tion of candidates last night was said
by the fraternity this morning to have
been one of the best in many months.
There were seven candidates, all of
whom proved to be excellent subjects.
The palm of the evening is conceded
to Leslie Parry, formerly of Crown
Point, but now of Hammond. Some
of his alleged" friends came up pur-
posely from Crown Point to help take
away his angora and instead give him
ride on the Elks' genus capra. Frank
A. Hitchcock of Lima, O., who was the
guest of John D. Smalley. the secre-
tary of the lodge, last night took the
part of the esteemed leading knight
in the initiatory work and was voted
to be an excellent exponent of that
part of the ritual The degree work
was followed by a luncheon and gem

ated: Leslie Parry, F. Rinehart, r. f.

FR|EORCHS
WILL ENJ0|N
THE SALE.
Man Gets on His
Fighting Clothes and Will
Resist Proposed Deal by
Which City Wants to Sell
Central School Site.

Charles sFriederichs is opposed to the
sale of the Holman street frontage of.
the Central school property. He stated
today that he would make an effort.
to have the school city enjoined from
selling the land.
Friederichs is. of the opinion that it
is all right to have the property con-
verted to business uses, but declares
that the property should be retained
by the school city and leased for a
longe period of years
Frederichs points to the fact that the
property upon which the Chicago Tri-
bune building and the Saratoga hotel
are built is leased by the school city
of Chicago to those who nave built
buildings on it.
The Hammond man declares that this
same property is likely to be worth
100000 in ten years, and that the
school city would lose the unearned
increment
Only Few Can Bid.
He points out that only a few big
fnanciers could afford to make a bid
on the property under the arrange
| ment which the school board has made
while there are a large number of in
vestors who could afford to take fifty
| feet CT the property and build fine bus
| mess blocks on it if they only had to
raise the money necessary to put up
the building.
/ Friederichs thinks the property
| ought to be a re-valuation every ten
/ years In this manner the city would
/ get $500 year income from the
property. In twenty years the total
income would be equal to the amount
/ that-thex pcepsEty is@ about sto1@Be Sold
for and the city would still own the
property.
He realizes that the city is in need
of manual rtaining school, but says
that the manner in which the board
| is going about getting it is childish
He declares that it is willing to sacri-
| flee a sure thing for the temporary
necessity of having new high build
| ing.
Friederichs says that when the s20,-
600 is paid for moving the schoo
buildings and $40 to $4,000 is paid fol-
property on Fayette street there will
be only about 100000 left, and the
most valuable property the school city
| owns will be sold

STILL
WITHHELD
BY MAYOR

There is much conjecture in Gary to-
day to whom Mayor Knots will ap
point for city controller. 1t is under
stood that Mayor Knots will make the
appointment late this afternoon, but so
far he has been very reticent as to
who the appointee would be.
Now that Attorney Emmett White has
withdrawn from the city judgeship
there is some talk about town that
Attorney White will be the next city
controller while others who are close
to the city administration say that
former town trustee Millard Caldwell
or Attorney H. E. Corbett will be the
appointee At all events the suspense
will soon be over and the anxious Of
fee seekers will know by this evening
who the next city attorney will be.

VILLAGE BOARD
HOLDS MEETING

The village board of West Hammond
held special meeting last evening for
the purpose of granting an extension
to the time limit on the franchise which
was recently granted to the Eastern
Illinois Traction company.
The meeting was not called to order
on account of the fact that no quorum
was present. Another meeting was
called for next Saturday when the mat
ter will come up again.
The street car company. has showed
good faith in the building of the car
line, and it is believed that there viii
be no opposition to the plans of the
company to go ahead and give West
Hammond street car service to all
parts of the Calumet region in Indiana
and Illinois.
