CAN GO AHEAD
NOW WITH SCHOOL
Attorneys Advise That Status of The
School Board Case Is AS IF There
We're No Litigation

After q conference with Judge John
III. GiIlett and Attorney Peter Crum-
packer, both OF whom were retained
by the citixens' committee in the recent
school board hEht, Attorney n. b. Nc
Aleer of McAleer Bros, advised the
members of the school board, indivfd-
ually, to ignore the threats of Attor-.
ney William j. Whinery, representing
Contractors Caldwell & Drake, that he
would appeal the case to the supreme
court II the school board did not COM
promise and proceed ms though there
had been mo- litigation.
Attorney r. B. McAieer said teday,
TT would be foolish for us tosfompro-
mise after we have ven the fight in
thenlcsEer conrt. beat them in the SUI
preHe court on appeal and nnaIly com
vinoed the supreme court that they
ought not to have a sre-hearing of the
case. kess lsfe
Besides after a conference with 9TH
er attorneys who have been interested
in the case we have decided that there
are no constitutionaIh questions in
volved and that It is exceedingly
doubtful whether or not an appeal could
be taken to the federal supreme court.
Like a New Case.
ACC0fQlDSty, we nave dQNiScu thc
members of the board to go ahead as
though nothing had happened. The
situation is, in fact, just as though no
litigation had ever been commenced. II
the matter is taken to the supreme
court It will be just as though a new
action had been started and the school
i board would not be justified in holding
! up all work of public improvement
because some one threatens litigation

Old Masonic Temple on
State Street Will Be Made
Into Moving Picture Au-

c. w. Horn. the vice president of the
Peoples Circuit Co, a 100000 Indiana
corporation. yesterday closed a ten
year lease State street.
The Peoples Circuit Co. is a concern
which is taking leases on twenty the
atres in the vicinity of Chicago. Among
the other Indiana cities which are to
be on the circuit are Gary. Laporte and
Michigan City.
The Hammond theatre is to have a
seating capacity of 500 and is to be
made the equal of any of the small the
atres in the region. The new Playhouse
! will be given over to the production
of moving picture feature plays.
It will be the plan to have good mu-
sic and possibly one vaudeville act,
but the feature of the entertainment
will be moving picture plays in which
! the great stars of stageland will ap-
pear.
| For instance, Maude Adams in Peter
! Pan" and David Warfield in the Music
! Master will be among the picture plays
! that will be seen. 1t is estimated that
/ 1t will cost at least $4,000 to remodel
1 the theatre
| The upper floors of the Masonic tenn
/ pie are to be taken over by Hugo
h Freels, who will remodel it for room,
I, ing house purposes. 1t is understood
/ that in addition to his lease that Freel.

Il The signing of this lease is regarded
as an important thing for West Stat,

has taken place on the street in years
The business men there are hopeful

feet of attracting business there

The case does not present any OF
these phases 1t is ridiculous for Cald-
we'll & Drake to attempt to force this
community to believe that it will have
to wait from two to four years for
school house facilities unless they COM
promise a case in which they have been
numerically whipped all along the
line.
.If Caldwell & Drake were to at

aid the payroll for the two weeks just
past was close to $4,000.
The plant is now running at it's full
capacity for a single shift. If two
shifts were to be put on the force it
would be increased to 1000 men and
the payroll would be close to $175,ooo

Under the new management the

A FALSE ALARM

The citizens movement will con-
tinue to grow in the favor of the
common people as they come more
thoroughly to understand it"-Trib-
une.
No. the Tribune is wrong. The
better the so-called citizens move
ment is understood the smaller 1t
will grew. And there is a reason.
The reason is that the so-called
citizens movement is case of false
pretense to the extent that it will not
be able, even if so disposed, 10 carry
out its promises.
The fundamental defect in this So
called citizens movement is found in
its origin.
Where did it start? Did it have it's
inception in a spontaneous outburst
Of popular enthusiasm?
No. it started in the Tribune office
and in two real estate offices in the
jefferson building. 1T began as a
purely selfish enterprise on the part
oS these interests TO get control of the
city government and patronage.
Most people understood this, and
have not identified themselves with
the so-called citizens movement; a
few do not. and they have fallen into
the trap. With the office and patron
age seekers they compose the So
called citizens movement.
When they discover the purpose for
which they are being used they will
extricate themselves.
The so-called citizens movement is
a false alarm. IL is based on nothing
more substantial or worthy OF cOnsid-
Grafton than petty spite and sordid
greed. 1t has nothing behind IL more
worthy Of confidence than a news
paper that has fed on the patronage of
the republican party for forty years
and a little clique OF scheming poll
ticians.
Under different auspices. the cir
cumstances considered. an independ-
ent movement might have made a re-
spectacle showing. but this Tribune

l didn't know I'd miss you so,
But honest, Bill, / do,
And every day that you're away

My ways, somehow, don't suit me
now.
I've lost the old content.
The peace of mind ! used to find
In pleasant hours we spent.
Your battered chair stands empty
where
So many times you sat,
When we would smoke and jest and
joke
And talk of this and that,
And when we each forbore from
speech
And let the time drift by.
That, too, was good; your understood
Ny mood as we'll as l.
A goodly line of friends Is mine
Why hold my warm regard

Who's comrade, pal and pard.

BY A PHYSICIAN.

Individual resistance to disease is
the best preventative.
At the beginning of each school
year, many parents have very natural
misgivings about sending their boys
and girls into the crowded school
room where disease may be lurking
upon the person of one or several of
the other children.
The wisest way to insure the health
of your child is to keep his power of
resistance high
Many people cannot explain the
reason for the fact that some adults
and some children seem TO take every
thing that is going, while others rare
ly have anything the matter with
them. The individual with a high re-
sistance is very much more likely to
escape ills than the one with poor
resistance.
1t is simply the law of the survival
OF the fittest applied in a very practi-
cal way.
Keeping the child ''fit" can only be
accomplished through the constant
carrying out of sensible rules Of liv-
ing in the home.
1t is the old story, so old yet so
necessary to be repeated.

\ PROGRESSIVE CITY.

South Bend has made remarkable
progress during the past ten years.
No city Of its class in the country
has advanced more rapidly. many
have failed TO keep pace with it.
In that period the population has
Increased from about 10000 TO ap-
proximately $4,000, a fifty per cent
growth. and the character OF the pop
uiatiOn has notably improved. In
1907 and for a year OF two following
South Bend lost a considerable num-
Der OF its less desirable people. The
effect OF the financial depression
forced a survival Of the fittest.
In the place Of these less desir-
ables South Bend has acquired a great
many people Of the better class who
have found IT TO their advantage to
locate here, factory operatives and
mechanics. business and professional
men. who have contributed materially
20 the elevation OF the standard OF
citizenship.
The reasons for this growth and the
resulting higher standard are found
in the advantageous location Of the
city and the progressive spirit that
animates its people. Live people like
TO live IN a live city, and they find
what they want in South Bend.
They find one Of the best paved and
severed cities in the country, they
find superior transportation facilities,
pure and abundant water. good sani-
tary conditions. we'll conducted public
utilities. and an orderly Industrious
and thrifty community.
Now these things might be charac-
teristic of a misgoverned city. but
there are no instances of the kind on
record. Mismanagement, graft, cor
ruption and loose business methods do
not produce such conditions. They
are the products Of intelligence and
honesty in the administration of pub
lie affairs.

HIGH POWER OF RESISTANCE is BEST
WEAPON TO WELD AGAINST DISEASE

1t is the story of food, of ventila-
ton, of regular sleeping hours, Of
regular exercise in the fresh air, OF
suitable recreation and sufficient en-
ployment to keep the mind and body
in trim
Simple, systematic home life, a SEN
sible diet "a proper consideration of
the Importance of outdoors in the life
Of every growing child, and immedi-
ate attention and remedy for email
ills will usually result in maintaining
a resistance sufficient TO withstand
many of the child diseases which go
around each year in the school COM
munity.
Though this program is very simple
it means self-denial and constant
watchfulness on the part OF the pa
rent!
You cannot expect your child to
learn system in eating and sleeping IL
the meal is not prepared at the reg
ular time, or if the bed time hour is
not consistently maintained.
You cannot expect the child TO re-
tain it's power Of resistance if you al
low a cold or a case of indigestion to
linger without prompt attention.
Keeping the child fit means reg
ulating its lift according to common
sense!
