We wish to thank you all for kind
ness and attendance at these games
and your hearty support. We are
very sorry that no other team or
teams in the county would join US in
taking the place of the High School
so we could continue the schedule or
make a new one We hope to get
two or more teams in an adjoining
county and make up a schedule for
the remaining part of the season.
We have enough teams in Trego
county to have good league if they
would consent to join us. As it is
they will play as many or more games
this season as they would if they
were in league and not have the
same advantages or interest taken in
their games by their home people.
Respectfully submitted,

THE JOY HUNTER.

Closely related to the ioy rider. bv
Ties of bloodshed, is the joy hunter who
is the pest of the woods and fields
every autumn. Generally speaking he
kills very little game, but now and
again while he is scattering ammuni-
ton about he bags his unoffending
fellowman, and very frequently he
kills domestic animal upon some
body's farm and slips away, like the
joy rider who leaves his victim with
ing the road and speeds away at a
rate of sixty miles an hour in the
direction OF new adventures
Real hunters are fairly safe from
real hunters. but nobody is safe from
the fool with the gun, for no gun is
fool proof The latest report of a
tragedy in the woods is that two Min
nesota hunters were fired upon while
skinning moose and one killed
other hunters evidently mistook them
for game, according to the report of
the resident correspondent
| Just what sort of game do two men
skinning moose resemble? Only a
i hunter unused to guns and game could
mistake them for wild animals Only
an excitable individual walking
through the woods with a gun and
ready to shoot without investigation
could mistake the half-skinned moose
for game. But just that type of hunter
is ubiquitous in the autumn woods
That is why, especially in thickly set
tied sections, where game laws have
protected deer, it is just about as risky
for hunter to range the woods as for
a deer.
Perhaps there may come a time
when both hunters and chauffeurs will
lie required TO produce certificate oil
mental balance and experience before
being licensed. But the question a:
to the hunter is where and how he
will get his experience without wing
ing someone or being winged from
time to time as he acquires discretion

a quarter within five years. 1t is
true that the Gary & Interurban rail-
road is now operating under such 4
franchise but the wisdom of the pro-
vision is not yet proven.
The first years of the existence of
a new interurban line are always
critical ones. Tf it keeps out of a
receivership in the first ten years of
it's history it is doing we'll.
Consequently the imposing of a
three cent fare on new line is a
condition that not only makes it's
financing impossible but deprives
those who promote it of the profits
that should legitimately be theirs.
Even in Cleveland, Ohio where the
amount of business that is done on
the surface lines ought to make a
three cent fares feasible, if it is
reasonable anywhere, was compelled
to go back to the five cent fare.
The people of Lake County want
its traction lines to prosper. They
want the stockholders i'll these COM
panies TO make money. Then they
will be able to provide the best roll
ing stock, make extensions into ter
ritory where such extensions would
not really pay at the present time
pay their men well and make the
service anticipate the needs of the
future. A pauper company can not
do these things and a three cent fare
in five years would make a pauper Of

THE PROMISCUOUS DANCE.

Some day the young girl who at
tends a public dance, where she is
permitted to mingle with men and
girls of the underworld, will pay the
fiddler If it is not in one kind of
coin, it will be in another kind.
young woman who had loved too
we'll but not wisely was shot and kill
ed by young man at a public dance
recently. The Muncie Press says:
I'm days gone by she was an ador-
able little girl with cheeks that bloom
ed with the red roses color On the
night she was murdered she was
merely an unfortunate growing into
the worlds manhood of woe. Her fate
might have been worse had she lived.
Pray, what was this girl2" There
is but one answer. She was the prod
uct of just such affairs as that put on
at Franklin hall Halloween night.
And what was the youth who. killed
her? He was a product of the same
institution.
The dance in Franklin hall was a
dance of revelry 1t was a dance of
drunkenness and ribaldry lust and de-
struction 1t was mixing of the
classes that does not raise higher the
low but does push lower the high.
There were women of the scarlet hue,
and there were young girls of white
virtue, but the young girls of white
virtue were nearing the danger mark
They were on the path that leads to
the oblivion of the red light
Nearly every city where these wine
room dances take place, has the same
story to tell.

The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

The lady across the aisle from us
had on a summer hat and an unusually
heavy winter ulster.
Said my companion: We'll. if 1
were going to have one of those ride
ulously heavy winter coats, / certain
ly wouldn't wear my summer hat with
it,
Wouldn't she, I wonder Suppoae.
for instance, that her one summer suit
got caught in a big shower and posi-
lively ruined, and she had to buy her
winter coat early. but simply couldn't
afford a hat. Now just what would she
do in a case like that?
Why take it for granted that the
lady across the aisle liked the peculiar
combination of winter coat and sum-
mer hat? Why not reckon that she
was the victim of compelling circum-
stances, under which we would proba-
bly, have done the same thing our
selves?
How often do we say loftily, Il
wouldn't do this or that?" How do we
know we wouldn't under the same cir
cumstances? We don't.
1t seems to me that one of the big
lessons of life is to realize what a diff
ference it makes what side of the fence
we are on, and not try to say what We
would do under circumstances of which
we know nothing.
1t is so often amusing to see people
suddenly transplanted into the position
of others, whom they have previously
criticised, and to see how very much
the same they act themselves, and what
a different point of view they get.

own a horse and drive great deal.

COLLISIONS UNWISE STEP.

A couple of days ago a TIMES re-
porter was assigned to cover" the
meeting of the Sixth Ward Improve
ment association of Gary, Tolleston S
Commercial club. The newsman re-
quested an officer of that organiza-
ton to give him synopsis of the
preceding nights meeting.
Thereupon it was stated that the
club in electing new officers had de-
cided TO enforce it's hitherto dormant
rules which require that the meet
ings of the association be strictly
private as far as non-members were
concerned. In consequence not one
Iof the Gary newspapers that day
printed the proceedings of the ses-
sion
In this connection we would like
to state, this is the first time that we
ever heard of q wide awake civic or
ganization deciding to hide its ac-
tivities under a bushel measure.
Publicity is the life of an association
such as the energetic businessmen of
| Tolleston have formed. It has ac-
complished much good but we will
venture ito predict that it will soon
be an impotent factor if it decides to
keep secret its endeavors to get new
streets, sewers. cement sidewalks,
new factories, and other similar i'm
Drovements
No civic organization can thrive
unless 1T has newspaper backing and
there is nothing more pleasing tc
editors than to devote columns to
boosters.
We hope that the Tollestonites
will repeal their unfortunate rule
They have done wonders in booming
their community and anything thai
tends to counteract their good worl
should be eliminated at once.

This speeding is outrageous. There
ought to be a jail sentence instead of
a fine. Automobiles ought not to be
allowed to go more than ten or fifteen
miles an hour. The way some of these
chauffeurs try to see just how close
they come to your carriage wheels
IS abominable. 1t makes me disguised
the way the automobilists keep on
footing when you are already giving
them three quarters of the road
these were a few of their structures.
They have only been in the ranks
of the automobilists about six weeks
and already the man of the house, who
runs the machine, has been arrested for
speeding. 1 did not hear any pleading
for Jail sentence instead of a fine
One of the finest men 1 know is a
baker. Although he abides by it per-
fectly he does not approve of the law
requiring every loaf of bread shall be
wrapped in paraffine paper. He says
ii is a foolish law, because the bread
is contaminated quite as much while
wrapping as it would be If left UNI
wrapped. He thinks the people who
agitated the law were either short
sighted or self-interested.
Now. this man is a thoroughly sin
cere, splendidly honest man. and yet I
cant help wondering II he were not a
baker If he might not see things diff
ferently.
What a difference II does make what
side of the fence We are on!
1t is simply impossible that 1t
shouldn't The human equation can't
help but enter into the judgments of
the best and most Just of men.
But L do think we can remember not
to say Il wouldn't of anything.
Perhaps we would" twice as much
If we were on that side of the fence.

said about the franchise which the
company seeks.
/. A franchise is sought on only
one street, Seventeenth street, in
striking contrast to the blanket
franchise which was awarded to the

build the Gary division within Il
reasonable time.
3. The company's agreement as
to transfers is a fair one
a. Its promise to pave the space
between the tracks coincidently with
the paving of the street is a liberal
one.
Alderman Castleman has made
some good suggestions. The two
most important is the more precise
wording of the paragraph relating &c
the paving of the space occupied BY
the tracks. Castleman would make
it necessary for the railroad to make
its share of the improvements OIL

affirmative action on the part of the
city This will avoid a delay similar
to that which the city of Gary ex-
perienced in the case of the Gary
