They pronounced his disease to be Bright's disease of the kidneys He was gradually failing in strength, los- ing flesh rapidly, and altogether pre- sented a very pitiable spectacle, the remnant of a once strong and happy man.
 I had been treating a neighbor of his successfully. This neighbor had highly recommended me and thus it was he had come to me

SNORING NO CRIME.

Recent decision of municipal

His Honor has ruled that snoring

AFFECTS GARY.

There is no doubt but the stories Of
the ontinued civic unstableness that
come out Of Gary affect the city in
more ways than one The unsavory
contract lettings are hurting Gary.
More than one director of the steel
corporation has expressed the opinion
that If Gary does not behave itself as
far as civic affairs go that it may
suddenly find a rival for the big cor
poration's favors
No less a person than Judge Ebert
H Gary. the executive head Of the
steel corporation. last June stated TO
. TINES representative that future
additions in Gary depended upon the
attitude Of the people OF The steel
city. OF course, this included not
only their attitude toward the cor
poration but the future conduct OF
the city itself
We fear that Gary may yet take a
step too far and it will find that
Aladdin and his wonderful lamp is
distributing its favors elsewhere.

THE SOCIALIST VOTE.

The socialist vote in Indiana this
year for the head Of the ticket is
estimated at 36.210 Four years ago
the vote was 13,473. The gain IS
about 270 per cent.
Four years ago the chief socialist
strongholds were Marion, Elkhart,
Greene. Allen. Clay, St Joseph. Van
derburg. Vigo and vermiHon coun-
ties While most of these counties
show gains this year the heaviest
gains in proportion have been made
in counties with larger rural popu-
lation. Only a few of these counties
fail TO show a large increase.
Marion countys vote, 5.268, was
the largest polled in any county. but
the proportion to the total vote cast
was largest In Sullivan, where it was
one-sixth Next to Marion county
the largest vote polled was in Van
derburg, with 2,572.

A CURSE TO HIS RACE.

When Jack Johnson won the
heavyweight championship of the
world. and especially when he re-
tanned it in his fight with Jeffries,
there were those who said that he
had done his race a great service
They argued that he had put fresh
pride and confidence into millions Of
men who needed such a spur to ambi-
ton The theory was that Johnson s
prowess would encourage colored
Americans to strive more vigorously
for equal rights and equal attain
ments in better fields Of occupation
and achievement
Now Jack Johnson has done more
to discourage and dishearten the best
and wisest men Of his race than he
could offset by winning ten cham
pionships They are ashamed and
disguised and In such a frame o.
mind that thousands Of them would
welcome an opportunity to give him
q coat OF tar and feathers ana ride
him on a rail over The nearest inter
national boundary. Johnson has
done more than any other one man
Of his color to put arguments in the
mouths Of enemies Of his race who
would deny the negro any form Of
equal rights. If it were in their
power to do so
All Of which goes to show that
brains and character not brute
force. must be depended upon to adj
vance the interests and widen the
future of a race lately freed from
slavery It is to the Booker Wash
ingtons, not TO the Jack Johnsons.

Hammond TO take charge of the trial

estimated, conservatively that he
saved the county $4,000 in the cost

of the opinion that Ross is the first
deputy prosecutor who ever handled
the office with such high efficiency.
They all favored his retention by the
new prosecutor.
And the first official act Of Prose

commissions Ross as his deputy will
meet with general and enthusiastic
approval Of those who are conscienti-
ously fighting crime in this county.
