Man of Profound Thought.
His lecture last night on "Extraor--

tional, international and Interstate, has
never been equalled in Hammond for
profoundness. At first thought his
subject seemed extraordinary for g.
class of juniors and seniors, but the
speaker impressed upon his audience
the fact when a lawyer is called up
on to act in a case of requisition and
extradition that he must know the
law well enough to act on the spur

UNIVERSITY CLUB
WILL RAISE DUES
Fifteen Dollars Will Be the
Initiation Fee After
March l.

The new constitution of the Univer-
sity club of Hammond provides that
the initiation fee for membership will
be raised from s5 to SIS, commencing
with the 1st of March of this year.
This step is taken in consideration
of the fact that the present members
of the club have practically provided
the splendid new quarters of the club.
1t is the consensus of opinion among
the members that those who delay
making their application after March
1st should be required to pay the ex-
ira amount
The interest in the University club
project is growing every day the
club rooms approach completion. The
club is to be conducted on scale never
before attempted by a social organiza-
tion In the city.

Finances Good.

Already plans are on foot for an
opening affair that will be one of the
social events of the season. The club
is in the best financial condition, ac-
cording to the last report of the treas
urer, and 1t is expected that the new
quarters will be furnished and COM
pletely equipped without incuring a
single dollar of indebtedness.
The membership committee. consist
ing of NJ. f. Church, chairman: c. c.
Deming and w. Fl. Gostlin. Jr. has
held several sessions this week and
has passed upon a number of applica-
tions. The membership to the club has
been limited TO 200. so that at no
time will the new club rooms be crowd
ed.
The club is in receipt of a letter from
the Gary University club inviting the
local organization TO be present at the
opening of it's new quarters on the 1st
of March.
However, owing to the fact that the
University club of Hammond has
scheduled its annual election for this
date, 1t will be impossible for it to ac-
cept the invitation from the club in
the neighboring city.

cEr TOGETHER.

Iowa Is preparing to federate all It's
Commercial associations and booster
clubs into one organization. This IS
work that should have been done
years ago, but because Of rivalry be-
tween the cities and other causes it
was put off, Just recently get to-
gether'' meeting was held IN Des
Moines anl. plans were made to bring
about a statewide organization OF the
boosters. An official call has now
been issued for meeting TO be held
in#Des Moines August 80 at which
time the organization will be per-
fected. The Official call sets forth
in;. eloquent terms the necessity OF
such an organization. 1t says:
The greatest single movement that
h.s come out of Iowa in twenty years
Is the effort to bring together the COM
mercial organizations In Iowa towns
and cities for statewide booster cam
paign. During the Sbetter part OF the
last quarter century Iowa has been
the recruiting ground for all the states
and territories west Of the Missouri
river. In q single year, it is alleged
upon good authority. over four million
dollars was taken from one Iowa city
and nut into will. lands somewhere be-
yond the horizon. The federal census
Of 1900 showed the startling fact that
Iowa loses one-third of her native
born children, while the old New Eng
land states lose but one-sixth.
why shoul. people leave Iowa in
twice as great numbers as they do the
rocky hillsides of Vermont.
If. Iowa cities are to enjoy healthy
growth the state as whole must
grow. with them. Neither retail nor
Wholesale centers can thrive with a
diminishing state population. These
facts are SO obvious that it is amaz-
ing to know the. the people Of Iowa
have waited so long uetore awaken
Ing to their danger. During the past
three years several abortive efforts
have been made to bring together rep
resentitives Of Iowa towns and cities
In a commercial congress. Until
this year there has never been suffi-
cient interest among the people of Iowa
TO bring them together There is such
an interest now, and as result a
meeting has been called for Aug. 80
In Des Moines.

Iowa should he represented. We ought

WISDOM ON THE BENCH.

A st. Louis judge departed from tne
usual customs in disposing OF a case
that came before him few days ago
and settled the troubles Of two men IN
a way that saved one the loss OF his
money and the other the loss of his
liberty A case came up In which a
man who had been entrusted with
the sum of $500, the savings of Grip
pie, which he had been requested to
deposit in a bank, was shown to have
stolen $400 Of the money and only de-
posted $500. 1t was clear case and
the defaulter could have been punished
by term in the penitentiary. The st.
Louis Judge, however, thought that the
greatest problem in this case was not
hove the criminal should be punished,
but how the helpless cripple could be
reimbursed for his loss. He decided to
give the offender an opportunity to
make restitution. Instead of: sending
him to prison he gave him year and
four months in which to repay the
cripple the sum he had stolen, the pay
ments to be made at the rate Of $25 a
month. Failing to make the payments
promptly the ,defaulter Is to be sent
to the penitentiary for five years.
There is need for more Of this kind
of judicial wisdom. 1t would not have
helped the cripple if the man who de-
frauded him had been sent to the pen
itentiary and the money stolen had not
been returned. In many cases which
come up in all the courts it does not
help the dependent wives and chill
dren of men sentenced to Jail on
charges of intoxisation when such SEN
tence means to them temporary loss
of the bread winner and frequently
poverty and hunger. The St. Louis
brand Of judicial wisdom should be en-
cOuraged.

Alton Clyde, on the other hand, was
more than ever elated over his share
in conspiracy threatened by 50 for
midable foe; and when Emerson
constituted him a sort OF secretary

ceiving kilograms, his delight was pc

No sooner were they fairly under
way for the west than Emerson began
the definite shaping of his plans. ne
and George carefully went over the
many details Of their coming work and
sent many messages, with the result
that outftters in dozen lines were
awaiting them when they arrived IN
Seattle. Without loss of time Boyd in
stalled himself and his friends at
hotel, secured a competent and close
mouthed stenographer, and then
sought out the banker with whom ne
had made tentative agreement before
going to Chicago. Mr.. billiard greeted
him cordially.
"I see you have carried out your
part of the program" said he; but
before we definitely commit ourselves,
we should like to know what effect
this new trust is going to have on the
canning business.
"You mean the N. A. P. AZ"
precisely. Our Chicago correspond
ent can't tell us any more than we
have learned from the press-nameiy,
that combination has been formed.
We are naturally somewhat cautious
about financing competitive plant UNI
til we know what policy the trust will
pursue"
Here was exactly the complication
Boyd had feared; therefore, it was
with some temptation that he argued ::
"The trust is in business for the
money, and its very formation ought
to be conclusive evidence Of your
good Judgment. However, you have
backed so many plants such as mine
that you know, as we'll as do, the big
profits to be taken"
"That isn't the point. Ordinarily we
would not waver an instant, but the
Wayland-Marsh outfit is apt to upset
conditions If we only knew
II know!" boldly declared Boyd
"Mr. Wayland outlined his policy to
me before the public knew anything
about the trust"
Indeed? Are you acquainted with
Wayne Wayland?" asked Mr.. billiard,

Democrats who have been looking
upon the contest in the ranks Of the
republicans as indications of republic
can losses in the congressional cam
paigns are doomed to disappointment.
The republican voter knows that the
congressman must help the president.
The thinking voter will realize that
President Taft should have republi-
can house as well as senate to help
him carry out in full all the pledges of
the party and the program which he
has outlined in his messages. In spite
of the tremendous legislation enacted
by the last congress, there still re-
mains much to be done by the sixty
second congress. And this could not be
accomplished with a democratic house
to check all senate measures and do
nothing itself.
Abruzzi and Miss ElKins are on
the first page of the big dailies again.
Isn't it awful? We thought we were
through with that family farce, but it
seems not. In this country, real man
does not ask the consent of anyone
except the girl herself. The man and
woman in America are the royalty.
Just imagine real free born Ameri-
can man begging and whining around
for his relatives or near relatives to let
him marry the girl he wants. You
know he wouldn't do it. You wouldn't
believe that real American girl would
marry a sissy who had to do that,
would you? Well, don't bet that she
won't do it. Why? Because you'd lose!

Much regret has been expressed by the business men of Phoenix because of the necessity of postponing the proposed "Get-acrGainted" excursion to Parker and intermediate points This excursion was to have left Phoenix Thursday evening, spending Friday on the road. but word was received from several points where business men were absent from town and that eXcursionists would not meet a representative body of cit iZens were they to visit those towns at this time.
 It was suggested that December would be a more convenient date for the trip and the promoters of the ex- cursiOn have adopted this time for the visitation of the towns included in the itinerary A committee con sisting of Secretary Harry Welch of the board of trade, w.

CHILDREN LOST
 NEIGHDORS ROUsE[
Excitement Reigns In West Capitol
 Until Little Ones Are Found.

For an hour or more yesterday two mothers in the West Capitol addition were firmly convinced that they had seen the last of their four-year boys who had mysteriously disap- peared. The little son of AIr. and Mrs. Harry B. St. Claire, of west Jefferson street and a little play mate had been amusing themselves about the St. Claire home when they suddenly faded from view.
 Mrs. St. Claire and the mother of the other child, immediately insti- tuted search during the course of which the entire neighborhood was reused to action. Every man, woman and child in that section of the city joined in the search. The irrigation ditches were carefully searched. but being dry there was little fear that the children had fallen in and had been drowned
 When the search was at it's height Street Commissioner O. H. Christy appeared on the scene with his team Of sorrels He observed the pitiable plight of Mrs. St. Claire and offered to take her in his buggy in sys- tematic search of the section. After traversing several streets, MT. Christy drove to the tracks of the Santa Fe railroad and there coming down the ties were the two missing lads The children had wandered more than ten blocks from home, and while they were headed in the right direction to take them back to their own neighborhood. they were as complete ly lost as any two children ever were before.
