Governor Ralston is receiving ed itorial comment from the metropolitan press that he may well feel proud of. His action in the recent strike, when ho did so splendidly, made him a record as a big man that Is bound to grow. He made Rood In a real crisis. His friends knew he would do it. Rosswell O. Johnson, the former Adams county man, who defeated Knotts for re-election as mayor of Gary, Is now on a visit to his parents at Monroe for a rest after his strenuous but victorious campaign. Mr. Johnson is amply justified if he indulges in a bit of exultation Aver hi.< victory, but his really big job is yet ahead of him. He's going to have a four-year fight ahead of him with the element that made Mayor Knotts and his sort of administration in Gary possible.—Fort Waytje Sentinel. If one reads the editorial columns of the various papers these days, he Is sure to smile at the political predictions he finds therein. Republican papers are sure that the progressive party is disintegrating, and the bull moosers are just as absolutely sure that the republicans have "done played their last tune.” Both these offer evidence by adding the combined figures of those who voted in opposition that the democrats could easily be I skinned if peace could be restored I in the ranks. Os course that's a fair Ij good sii.ed "if,” and so everybody tlie republicans, bull moosers. socialists and democrats have their something to smile about and are doing it, but it’s not a very difficult matter to pick out the fellow who is ■ enjoying the smile.
