RED CROSS STAMPS.

Hammond Ind, Dec. g.
Editor TIMEs:-Every little Red
Cross Christmas seal now on sale in
the leading stores in Hammond, will
help to stamp out the most dreaded
disease of Indiana. Remember these
seals will not carry letters. The regu-
lar postage stamp must do that, but
every Red Cross Seal used on the back
of letter, or package, goes to show
that the sender is assisting some per-
SON to regain his health.
Consumption, tuberculosis and white
plague are three names for the same
disease. This disease has killed one
person every two hours in Indiana for
more than seven years In 1910. 2.49o
children under twelve years of age
Indiana alone. 1868 children have
ben robbed of father and mother in
seven years in Indiana.
DR.. Weis says, MANY persons VIII D

it be known. while it should be report
ed the same as any other contagious
disease
Perhaps your nearest neighbor is
affected Tuberculosis Is no respectsr
of person. 1t may enter your home
next. Why not do your part in fight
ing the disease in Indiana. Why not
use some of the 1000, 900 seals that
must be sold in Indiana this year to
stamp out the $4,000 persons now
affected by the disease in this state.
All the money raised by the Red
Cross Christmas Seals will remain In
| this state and be used here to check
prevent and cure tuberculosis. Stamps
are now on sale in Hammond business
houses, schools, churches, clubs and
! lodges and If you cannot buy more. buy
one seal any way, for it only costs, one
cent.
Tuberculosis costs Indiana nearly
s27.5o0 day. More than 100000
a year. Perhaps your family may be
touched before the progress of this
dread disease is checked. Then dc

A LETTER OF APPROVAL.

Hammond, Ind, Dee 6.
Editor TIMEs:=Your editorial, In
yesterday evenings TIMES upon. "A Y.
NJ. c. A. Needed sounded true note
for the welfare of Hammond The
Minister'S Association in it's regular
meeting today fully discussed the con-
clusion of the article and unanimously
goes on record as approving the posi-
ton taken. You have SCI forth the
needs OF the young men of city
and the difficulties they meet in try
ing to do the best things for them
selves. No one who knows how well
the Y. NJ. c. A. would tit into this
situation can doubt the business of
your conclusion. We need just sucn
an institution. 1t would afford a clean
and wholesome gathering place, ee-
lightful reading rooms, amusement
gymnasium. swimming pool. oppor
tunity for night schools and club feat
ures, all of which would constitute it
"a center that would promote clean
and noble living. BY such movement
the churches ould affiliate with all
other organizations in doing what no
one organization can carry out.
1t is true it will call for a large
building, thoroughly adapted to the
needs and this would require large
expenditure of money But no other
outlay among us would give back SUCH
satisfactory returns. Other cities, such
as Michigan city. LaPorte and Lafay
cite. all smaller than Hammond, have
splendid buildings and equipment AMI
feel able to AIRY forward the work.
In no one of those places are there 50
many young men who would profit ny

feel able to carry forward the work.

give earnest support to such an en-
terprise. BY unanimous vote of the
association this letter of approval wa

RED FLANNEL.

1t develops that another Oklahoma
girl won a niche in the hall of fame
by yanking of her red flannel petit
coat, tagging train and saving
hundreds of lives.
This practice seems to be getting
so popular that it might be a good
thing If every young woman were to
equip herself with red flannel
petticoat to be used in crossing rail-
road tracks and other cases of
emergency and it is possible to go q
little farther and make every man
wear a red flannel undershirt
Look at the heroes and sheroes
then who would be visibly aroused
to get into the race for Carnegie
medals.

RECALLING YESTERDAY.

In the early nineties when one of
the members of the White Chapel
Club, daredevil organization of
Chicago newspaper men and some of
their companions, died he stipulated
that he should be cremated Of
course, the club decreed that the
cremation should be attended with
such ceremonies that the event
should be one that would be long re-
membered by those who even heard
or read about IT..
Plans were made for a night
cremation and readers of yesterdays
TIMES were acquainted with the
weird details if they never heard OF
them before To carry out such pro-
ceedings it was necessary to seek
out one of the most isolated spots in
the Central states, one far away
enough from the law that there
would be little danger of interior
ence on the part of the authorities. :
The quoted words are those of a
member of the club.
Such a spot was found to be at
Miller beach. Probably in those
days no other point along the Lake
Michigan coast was so isolated and
possessed of such lonely surround
ings. To reach the rendezvous
where the cremation toon place il
was necessary to make a wearisome
march from the old Calumet Gun
Club, opposite the present site of the
Gary steel works.
Yesterdays story of a death of Z
member of this once nation-famous
club recalled the history of yester-
day The lately deceased member is
to be cremated but in a crematory a
Greenwood cemetery. Yet were i
possible that the remnants of the oil

CHAMP WON'T DO.

1t may be just as the Huntington
Herald says: Champ Clark won't do
for president. and proof is found in
the following. In a current number OF
woman's magazine he says: L like
to sally forth on Christmas eve, min
gle with the happy. joyous throngs
and do my shopping for wife, children
friends and strangers Any full
grown man with whiskers who puts
off his Christmas shopping until
Christmas eve isn't entitled to the dis

Judge Bordwell who sentenced the
McNamaras at Los Angeles yesterday
today issued a statement to the effect
that the claims of Lincoln Steffens,
the anarchist who said he brought
an ending to the Mcnamara cases
are false. 1t was our contention yes
terday in this column that Steffens,
mush-writer and muck-raker, is also
a Grass empiricist. We take it back
today. Steffens is just plain ordi-
nary liar. Judge Bordwell says so.

MR.. GoMpERs' CREDULITY.

1t is not without a smile that those
who know Mr.. Samuel Gompers read
his statement that the McNamaras i'm
posed upon his credulity We have al
ways given Mr.. Gompers credit for be-
ing astute; we have held that he was
man who could not be imposed upon
and it is shock to hear that he is
credulous by nature. The leader of
American Federation of Labor should
not be credulous. Hence he is a self
confessed poor leader. Since the Nc
Namara confession was made. public
lit develops that overtures were made
by Clarence barrow to the state LAST
JULY to have plea of guilty to save
McNamaras neck from the hempen
rope 1t is reasonable to suppose that
Mr.. Gompers, who has been great in
strument for the defense these many
months knew nothing of these over
lures? Is is probable2
The unions of this great country will
do well to insist that the men they are
keeping in high places and paying
them hard-earned money to sit in those
high places, shall do their utmost to
clear themselves of this stigma. The
time has come when beating about the
bush will not satisfy the man who pays
his dues and his special assessments
for the McNamaras and their ilk
They want to know why Mr.. Gompers
was crdulous.
