OVER
FEDERAL COURT

Henry Racke, the confessed counter
feiter from Hosford Park, was bound
over to the federal court at Hammond
by United. States Commissioner chas..
Surprise after a hearing which lasted
all yesterday afternoon. His bond was
placed at 1000.
Ford FREEDOM. who was implicated
in the case by the confession of Racke,
was not held. 1t was brought out in
the hearing that Racke had 1t in for
FREEDOM. and it is believed that he SIM
ply involved FREEDOM to get even with
him
The state was represented by Clar-
ence w Nichols, assistant district at
torney. There were number of wit
nesses from Hosford Park who testified
in the case.
1t was shown that only a short time
ago FREEDOM had whipped Racke and
that the latter had vowed vengeance.
FREEDOM has served a term of four years
for counterfeiting, but claims that he
has reformed.
For some reason or another the Sc
cret service operatives did not search
for the moulds in which the 100 coun-
terfeit half dollars were made. They
did not seem to care whether or not
they got them.
This is considered strange in view
of the fact that the occasional dis
coveries of counterfeiting are said to
be due to the fact that a member of
the family becomes hard up. goes out
and digs up the old dies and starts to
making money.
Ford FREEDOM was released for the
reason that the only evidence there
was against him was that which was
offered by a confessed counterfeiter.
Racke admitted having passed 81 half
dollars out of the 100 he claims he
got from FREEDOM. The remaining three
were found on his person.

Writing this beautiful sentiment
ON a piece Of old cardboard Adolph
Hufenhauser, bachelor, hermit and
miser, lay on straw covered bench
in his little log shack on the Ridge
Road east of Highlands, determined
to remain there until he died.
Neighbors noticed that he had not
been around recently and Investigate

covered windows of his shack and
saw him lying there. At first 1t
looked as though he was dead. His

In an editorial entitled, Why Toler-
ate This" the Chicago Tribune this
morning says very pointedly and with
equal application for Hammond:
IF we read every morning that a
dozen ,children in Chicago had been
nipped by coyotes, mauled by cata
mounts. or chased by timber wolves,
we'd be energetic in "cussing the con-
stabulary" and cunning for the beasts.
Because the work is done by dogs. we
take 1t for granted, seemingly, that a
certain number OF children must be
chewed by pets No sincere lover of
dogs would tolerate this any more than
sincere friends of children. 1t isn't
necessary. An ordinance compelling
the muzzling or leashing of dogs is the
easiest law enforced in the world En-
forcement might fH the dog pound for
few days. but attacks by dogs on
children would be stopped"

THE GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.

It is to be hoped that the National
Good Roads convention in session a,
Atlantic City will at least make some
near approach to a solution Of the
kind Of material that makes for good
roads and enduring good roads.
Vast progress has been making in
this direction during the last few
years. but 1t is the opinion Of en-.
gineers that with all the experimental
tien the ideal Dad has not been
evolved. Each type has Its advocates
and volumes have been published pre-
senting the virtues Of each type. but
perfection has not yet been reached.
More progress has been made since
the invention OF the automobile. the
motorcycle and the bicycle than in all
the years previous. the farmers appa-
rently being most tardy in recognition
of the value .of such Improvement,
though 1t has been shown that wher.
ever the roads have been bettered the
price of farms per acre has been
much advanced.
North Dakota Is spending thou
sands for good roads. Many states
are spending millions. New Jersey.
somewhat Of a pioneer in this work,
has expended scores of millions in less
than a quarter Of a century. New
York and Ohio have just appropriated
$5O.o00.000 each. Now that the states
have shown themselves to be eager
to spend money judiciously II is to
be hoped the inventive genius Of the
engineer and others will give US ma

to send her to school in compliance
with the compulsory education law
and the filing Of a suit for divorce by
attention to the necessity for legis-
lation that will prevent the marriage
Of children.
Evidently the requirement for the
consent Of parents before issuing H.
cense to those under age does not go
far enough. In the Pennsylvania case
it offered no protection to the child
whatever. In the Missouri instance
the marriage was performed by a Jus
tice without parental consent. For

placing the prohibition upon those
who perform the ceremony and hold
ing them crirninally responsible for
violation.
The st. Louis case proves very
plainly the necessity. The child who
has been married nine months and
now seeks an annulment admits that
she does not know why she married
him. that she thought he would back
out" at the last moment. and he
thought she would. She says: II
didn't care for him. don't now. and I
want to have the marriage annulled."

Such marriages are rcpugnant to
American ideals. If the parents.

from the burden of caring for their
child or through a misconception Of
their duty. consent to such alliances
the law should step in and protect the
child.
