But here the similarity ceases.
Common law is more often right

and the cemeteries are full of bodies

habits that were vicious and injuri-

STOCK SPEECHES.

Gary had a convention last week
and it is doing the honors to another
one this week. There have been a
score of conventions in the steel city
this year and before the year ends
there will be half dozen more.
Each convention means that
Mayor Knots must deliver an ad-
dress of welcome and President H. s.
Norton must extend the courtesies OF

THE LAW OF THE INDIVIDUAL

1t is a commonly accepted idea of
Jurisprudence that law is founded
upon precedent.
A certain rule of conduct in GER
tain transactions between men per-
sists for series of years
Presently dispute arises over such
a transaction, perhaps before a
statute covering the point has been
enacted.
The judge rules that since the
recognized custom has been so-and-
SO, the decision must be in accord
ance with the custom.
This is the usual origin of what is
known as common law"
Habit does for the individual pre-
|cisely what common law does for the
State or Nation.
A certain rule of conduct becomes
established in the daily life of a
man
Presently he finds that because he
has done a certain thing in a certain
way many times, it has become fixed
in his mind as a law of conduct

STOP LOOK AND LISTEN,

Exchanges of THE TIMES which
by reason of the awful auto tragedies
that have happened in this region
feels that it has pioneered in a
worthy movement are beginning to
carry on THE TIMES crusade to
stop, look and listen at the rail-
road crossings. A little care and a
stop of moment may save human
life. The Huntington Herald will
say:
"One great railroad system is
trying to do it's share to spread a
little caution throughout the land
The Pennsylvania road is sending
out large posters for bulletin
boards at all stations appealing to
drivers, with the above words of
warning and caution
The poster says that It costs an
average of $4,000 70 remove
grade crossing, and to remove all
grade crossings would cost up
wards of $500, 5000
This bit of caution ought to be
repeated in every newspaper in the
land. The toll of life at grade
crossings Is proof OF a criminal
negligence that public sentiment
can and must modify There can
be no saving OF the drunken driv-
er. but there ought to be some way
or reasoning with tho speeders
fevered with desire to outstrip
the limited trains. Caution at
grade crossings takes but little
| time and less trouble. and nine
| hundred and ninety nine in every
thousand fatal crossing accidents
might easily be avoided. Most
| motorists learn caution through a
! hatr-breadth escape, but the hair
| breadth escape is too dangerous a
! lesson to take"

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE

Hammond will entertain this week
the Northwestern Indiana NJ. E. Con-
ference, the first time the ministers
ever came to Hammond as a body. 1t
will be an important clerical gather
ing as will be attested to by the
scores upon scores of people who are
throwing open their homes to the
visitors. The meeting will be a great
thing for Hammond and the other
cities of the Calumet region. especial
tly Gary for but few of the clergy
men have ever been in the Calumet
district to appreciate its energy and
voltage. 1t is in one sense of the
word a more important convention
than the one which adjourned at
Gary last week. Numerically 1t will
be greater. The results will be Just
as far If not farther reaching for the
visiting ministers will be able to SEQ
| for themselves what the district is
and not have TO form their opinions
tinguished men will be here. Bishop
Mcdowell of Chicago, Former Vice
President Fairbanks, Ex-Governor
Hanley are among those who will
add lustre to the occasion by their
lpresence.
1t is to be hoped that the clergy
men will be Hospitality treated while
in the district. They have none too
many of the good things of life. 1t
will be sort of a holiday for a great
number OF them and our people
should endeavor to have the visitors
leave Hammond with the tenderest
of recollections.

Democratic district chairman for the
Eleventh district, came to Indianapo-

him but the Governor was out of his
office and the two failed to see him
However, they left the impression at
the Governors office, all right that
Elston wants the appointment.
Elston was in the insurance bust
ness at Angola before he was appoint
ed a deputy game warden, in which
capacity he has been serving for sever

spends his summer vacations at Lake
James, which is in Steuben County
and he has known Elston for years.
Elston says he has the Endorsement of
Congressman Cline and a number OF
others high in Democratic councils. and
he believes he Is going to land the

The only other candidate for the
place announced thus far is E. v. EN-

Speaking of gambling at race tracks.
there is gang of hand book makers at
the state fair here this week that is
doing let of business. There are -four
or five in the bunch, and it is said that
they are from Columbus. Ohio, though
this is not certain. The management
of the fair announced several days ago
with vigor that no betting or race
gambling would be permitted at the
fair, but these men work quietly among
the sports and they are cleaning up
bunch of money.
They were uncovered by a newspaper
man the first day of the fair. They
worked unmolested by the police and
detectives who swarmed in and around
the paddock. There was no interference
from the police. On the second day
the Marion county sheriff was asked
to visit the place with deputies and
stop the hand book making, and he re-
sponded. but did nothing. One book
maker took in and paid out money
within a few feet of the sheriff him.
self and the sheriff did not see him.
The police say they did not see any
thing. If they did not it was their
own fault. There is considerable talk
here about the fact that betting is be-
ing carried on at the state fair and
that the police either do not or will not
see If, and 1t is pointed out that in this
particular the situation is different
from that at Mineral Springs. Cover

day and sat in the grand stand.

Journal of Medicine says:
Some weeks ago considerable
publicity was given a case OF ac-
cidental poisoning from bichloride
Of mercury tablets. The case was
SO featured" as to lead the pub
lie to infer that corrosive subli-
mate poisoning was not only a
sure but also painless route to
the other world. Since this acct
dent. the papers have chronicled,
almost daily, cases of suicide in
which bichloride OF mercury was
the drug used. There IS no doubt
that many unstable persons who,
In Ats of depression contemplate
suicide, are restrained from taking
the fatal step by the dread Of the
unknown agony they may suffer in
committing II. To such, the knowl-
edge of sure and painless method
of death removes the only re-
straining inuuence left. It is fit
ting then that the public should
know that there are few modes of
suicide more painful and in which
the agony is longer drawn out
than that due to the taking of
bichloride of mercury. If this fact
were given the same publicity that
was accorded the case OF acct
