CHOOSE A GOOD DATE.

The cold water enthusiasts or in
other words our friends the Lake
County Prohibitionists have chosen
well in deciding to hold the annual
meeting and election of officers in
Hammond on next Tuesday-the day
after all the good resolutions go into
effect. Were it not for the fact that
the first day of the year is illegal
holiday. the meeting would un-
doubtedly have been set then. thus
giving a chance even to the black
slider whose resolutions cannot with

We predict a large meeting, if not
in the body at least in the spirit, and
we hope the waterwagon will be pack

MORBID DEGENERACY.

Old-fashioned people find some
thing disgustingly shocking and even
revolving in the revelations which
have been made public in the Sim
clair-Kemp mess and the Wright
Borthwick scandal They may well
ask what is the world coming to when
such relationships are permitted in
society. There is no law that can
touch these soul mates. If the COM
munities in which they live would
take the Kemp-Sinclair couple out and
tar and feather them, it might have
b wholesome effct Some of these
days il conditions continue to grow
worse that is what outraged society
will do. This nauseating soul-mate
business has been carried on so long
and so brazenly that clean healthy
people will turn on these morbid
degenerates one OF these days and
reckon with them according to their
deserts,

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

The country newspaper will not
be driven out of its field so long as
men or women are at the helm who
have the ability and the inclination
to fill the local field The trouble
with altogether too many local pap
ers is that they pattern too closely
after the big city papers and neglect
the local field. 1t Is mistake to
assume that these two types Of news
papers are in scope and reality COM
petitors says the South Bend Times.

RADICALISM'S APOSTLE.

The Lafollette invasion of Ohio in
which the pompadoured statesman
from the land of the pickerel and
muskallonge is delivering speeches
that for radicalism beat anything that
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan ever
spoke in swinging around the circle
will have a SOLDERING influence on the
citizens of this country who have
been inclined to wander after false
gods. Senator Lafollette fairly out
did himself in his remarkable utter
ances relative to the recall of the
judiciary and his attack on the SUI
preme court.
It will be a sorry day for this
country when Lafollette's plan TIC
deal with the judiciary is put into
force. When that day comes to pass
it will be but a short step to the
guillotine and terrorism Lafollette
IS far more sensationally radical and
socialistic in his platform. diatribes
than the most hair-brained rantel

that hLrls his platitudes from the
street corner, because he can't get
people into hall TO hear him.
OF Lafollette's sincerity there Is
not much question. If he were in
sincere In his heart never would he
permit himself TO make statements
that have put him without the pale Of
the presidency. The Wisconsin sena-
tor has about as much chance to be-
come president as the man in the
moon has of being appointed street
commissioner in East Chicago. The
speeches that he makes henceforth
will no doubt give him notoriety. II
he goes in for literature or the chau-
tauqua platform they will help to coin
money for him as Mr.. Bryan's efforts
have done for THE Great Commoner.
but that is all. American people in
the main are progressive but they
are not proposing to stand for La
follettism Not yet!
If Mr.. Lafollette is ever made
president for PHYS sake dig hole
four feet deep and throw your money
in it.

And thrills me as it plays

Then let your magic bow
Glide lightly to and fro

And to the tunes we knew

Your instrument
Poured out of some dim dream
OF lulling sounds that seem
Like ripples of a stream
Twanged lightly by
The slender, tender hands
OF weeping willow wands
That drocp where cleaning sands
And pebbles lie.
A melody that swoons
In all the truant tunes
Long. lazy afternoons
Lure from the breeze.
Where woodland bougs are stirred
And moaning. doves are heard,
And laughter afxerward
Beneath the trees.
Through all the chorusing
hear f,r, Ioaxrae
The drip and psttering
OF April skies.
With echoes faint and sweet,
As baby angel feet
Might make along a street
Or Paradise.

 The first bale of 1911 cotton to be sold on the Newport mar ket and bring down the pre- miurns offered on the first bale, reached the city Thursday af- ternoon and was ginned by the American gin.
 Tom Robinson, negro who owns his own farm just east of Walnut Grove cemetery was the lucky man. A number of other bales are expected later this af- ternoon or tomorrow and will get the premiums on the second and third bales.
