SPEED THE PARTING GUEST.

Not single visiting member of
the Indiana State Municipal League,
which closed its annual netting at
Gary to-day, is there, who is not
pleased with the city and the splen-
did hospitality showered on the dele
gates with her proverbial warm
hearted welcome to the stranger
within her gates. Gary has only
added new jewels to her crown of
hospitality. The present convention
has been one of the best advertise
ments for Gary ever given her. Out
side of the storm on Tuesday the
weather has been nearly perfect and
there has been warm rivalry to see
who shall give most freely in well
coming the guests of honor. 1t Is
safe to say that none of the visitors
go away disappointed. but they will
always have the kindliest recollec-
tions of the Magic Steel City when
such yellow sheets as the Chicago
Tribune are printing malicious
stories of dives and lawlessness, as
appeared therein last Tuesday.

A NEWSPAPERS SPACE.

A newspapers great staple is its
advertising space. Without it, and
the receipts bring, there would
be no newspapers. Yet this import
ant fact never seems to reduce the
long line of well-meaning people who
stream into every sanctum every day

out to them free.
OF course they don't ask for the
Ispace of the advertising columns.

The point lies in the money. The
newspaper publication is no value tc
them save as 1t attracts money-bar-
ring, of course, such satisfaction as it
may afford the publishers to contrib
ute to movement of which they ap-
prove.
| We have no doubt that many peo-
| pie are asked to give and do give
freely to these many causes. The
newspaper is usually expected to con.
tribute automatically. Moreover, the
newspaper is only a human institu-
ton. It can give to everything and

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS,

In an Ohio town where the good
people get most of their amusement
by fighting the bad, there was a
mayor whom the good" people sus-
pected was bad So this was how
they put him to the test They
hired an alluring woman and got her
to make friends with his honor A
|skilfull woman, out to ensnare a
man, especially If she be pretty and
dimply and apt in the affectations of
a beauty in distress, generally, SO
history tells, makes some Roadway.
1t was so in this case. The woman
tempted and the man bit like the
great, gawky gudgeon that a man is.
Nothing wilfully wrong understand.
No deliberate plotting or perfidy on
his part. just a foolish yielding to
a lure as old as creation.
And when the trap was ready to
be sprung, 10. there came detectives,
policemen and a photographer; the
good" people chortled with glee and
La flock of them hied TO the governor
to see if they could get the bad .
mayor removed.
Wonderful reforming. isn't it?

Await the Outcome.

G. w. Shaffer, alderman from Prince
ton, states that a delegation of six
from his town are here with a vital
matter at stake. They await the opin-
ion of the convention on the Public
Utilities Act and the decision may have
a decided effect upon the city they
represent. Tom Duncan, chairman of
the Public Utilities commission, is
from Princeton. The city is a railroad
center and is in the gas and oil belt.
1t is to let valuable franchises or have
municipal ownership, all according to
how the delegation is impressed and
how they impress the people when they
get back.

WARNING TO TOURISTS.

Notice by a current cable from
Cairo, Egypt, that a mummy dealer
was jailed because he sold an Amer
lean tourist a bundle of calf bones,
saying they were the remains of u
Prince of the III Dynasty.
Excuse these smiles. Despoiling
the Egyptian used to be an old game,
but not now. He has learned. The
worm has turned.
The old Sheik beyond the gate ut
Luxor has sold to confiding tourists
enough scarabs from the tombs of the
Ptoleys, Rameses and Thothmas to
duplicate the pyramids at least
twice. and we blush for the back
sheesh bamboozled out of us in other
ways by the sons of the sandy Sou
dan.
Just why, in view of the high and
rising cost of meat, bundle of call
bones wouldn't in a little while be
valuable as a mummy of the III Dy-
nasty, of course, concerns the pur-
chaser alone
Outside of the individual incident
recalling to the mind of the Grimm
Iologist that the development of the
thriving mummy and scarab business
in Egypt was coincident with the dis
appearance of the rich gold brick in,
dustry here, it occurs that the whole
matter backs up the old patriotic

the spring floods Shank worked for a

press stories that got out at that time
by the fact that Indianapolis was cut
off and that they must have originat-
ed in newspaper offices elsewhere.
