THE Suburban, a magazine published monthly at Whiting-. Ind., and
covering1 tho Calumet region with a circulation of 4500 devotes iia leading editorial space to an appreciation of tho Lake County Time:?, its aims, methods, its attitude towards labor unions and Its treatment of its employes. The Lakh County Times has been pleased to ignore tho attempts of other papers in the Calumet region, which aro aghast at tho growth of Its circulation, popularity and influence, to prejudice the minds of the unthinking against it. It has never been tho policy of this paper to dignify with consideration those who would underestimate the intelligence of tho people of this region and clog tho wheels of its progress. It has welcomed all the unfair criticism that has been showered upon it and by ignoring it has turned It to good account. At any time it might have given an explanation such as tho one appended, but with faith in the discriminating taste of its constituents it has not considered such answer worth while. The editor of the Suburban, writing under tho Allied Printing Trades label No. 52 says under the caption "The Lake County Times." 'In these days of turmoil uml M rumple on the part of labor organizations.
men should be very careful not to Iiiiit their friends by unjust and ignorant abuse. We are sorry to note that many men in and around South Chicago are endeavoring to harass
the Lake County Times of llnmmoud.
Intl., under the mistaken apprehension
that they are nidSng their brother union
men of the printing trade. "There Is not the slightest founda
tioa for calling the Lake County
Times a scab production. At the re
quest of the proprietors, a delegation from the Siuth Chicago Trades and
Labor Assembly visited their plant,
and were afforded every opportunity
to thoroughly investigate the condi
tions In that ofllce. Prior to that time
two deputations from the printers' union bad visited the place. The result
of these Investigations disclosed the
fact that the ofllce of the Lake County
Times wan manned exclusively by union men, who were all working under excellent conditions and were perfeetly
satisited with their situations. The firm pays the Chicago scfle and Is absolutely n closed shop.
'Naturally, nil good union men like to see the label, but In the printing trade, as in many ot!ers, there are tirnss who while paying the best wages
and employing union men exclusively,
do not use the little joker." Every
man has the right to refuse to purchase
tm article that does not bear the label, but before he starts shouting "scab" he
should investigate. We are la posses
nion of n letter from the secretary of
the Piano and Musical Instrument 3l!ik er's Union In which be states that nl
though the Kimball IMiiuo company is iiufair towards organized labor, there lire many firms wl.USi employ union labor exclusively but do not use the label. fo it is wiih the cigarmakers.
inion cigarmakers manufacture mil
lions of cigars in a year which do not bear the label. 'The Chicago Tribune, Daily News, Record Herald, Chronicle and other daily and Sunday papers do not bear the "label, and yet they are not boycotted. Wbyf Because they employ union i:.ir exclusively. Let us endeavor to
keep our friends and as such we may reckon the Lake County Times lest tbey sk themselves the question. Whether It Is worth while to pay uuion wages and observe union conditions and still be branded as "rats." It is sniil some of the newsboys refuse to handle the lake County Times. It is also ald that the newsboys belong to n union and they certainly wear buttons. It is also n fact that these same newsboys who refuse to handle n paper produced by union men exclusively, will shout themselves hoarse every week end trying: to dispose of the Saturday Evening; Post one of the worst enemies of labor and the proprietors of which have been at bitter warfare with the printers union for early two years.

CERTAINLY; HELP THE MOTHERS It takes a good deal of the poetry out of motherhood to place a monetary premium upon it, but the theory of Charles Zueblin of the University of Chicago for the prevention of race suicide has both practical and humane features if it does lack sentiment. Prof. Zueblin's plan is to pension every mother in the country in proportion to the number of children she has. The pension is to be a stated sum for rich and poor alike for the first three children with a K-ss amount for subsequent offspring. There is no question but what the cost of living has a great influence in
keeping clown the birth rate in the United states. If parents were sure of a small competency for their children, it might be different, it is all the average man can do to support a wife and himself to say nothing of a family of children and the servant that is an almost indispensable accessory in large American families, at least as applied to large cities. The women of today are not the women of a few generations ago when the country was young and the life of
its citizens simple. They have not the strength to rear large families and attend to their housework, their sewing and even the manufacture of the fabrics used in tho making of garments as did their foremothers. It may be that the present mode of living is inimical to the robust constitution of the old colonial dame and it may be that mothers of "ye olden time" worked so hard for so many generations that gradually they ceased to have any robust qualities to transmit to their daughters. Whatever be the cause, one finds very few American women who are able to work as their ancestors did. This being a fact, the far sighted woman who figures things out ahead, and who knows that even with a husband difficulty is experienced in making both ends meet, realizes that in the case of his taking off she would be confronted by a serious problem in caring for a brood of fatherless ones. A widow thus encumbered is in a predicament. Few women, indeed aro. equal to earning a salary that will maintain a house,
feed and clothe tho family and pay a
servant to take charge of the said
family, to say nothing of the extra ex
pense of paying for what a servant will waste. A childless woman can at
least in the majority of Instances sup
port herself. Most intelligent business
women have more money to spend up
on their personal comforts than the
moderately "well fixed" married wom
an. But in the case of a widow with
children, it is different. To do her
work away from home entails an ex
pense in maintaining her house that
is greater than while her husband was living and the income is more than correspondingly less. Many women
who would make good mothers are loatli to bring children Into the
world to live In the sordid sur
roundings that the inroads a few
children would make in tho fam
ily exchecquer even with a well and ro
bust husband might necessitate; and
the prospect of widowhood with a fam
ily of little ones is appalling. Thre
are but few methods of earning a livelihood open to widows with families,
The occupation must almost of neces
sity be one that can be pursued at
home. The principal ones that permit
of this are sewing and laundry work
Many women qualified to do their own
home sewing could not earn their salt
at sewing for others. On the laundry
proposition, very few women have the
strength to care for their house and
do washing for others. Even if they
have, the prospect is not alluring.
A pension to mothers therefore, to aid in tho education of tho child in days of comparative prosperity and
help keep the wolf from the door in the event of adversity, might induce some people who yearn for the little arms
about their necks and for the tender
responsibilities motherhood and father
hood entail, to rear families that might
prove a blessing to the parents and to the community.
Latest Movements in Industrial Centers, by Exclusive Wire to Lake County Times.
NEW YORE LETTER. New York, April 29. Union Pacific furnished the leading feature to a somewhat erratic and dull market. Tho trade in this issue was the largest for some time and comprised almost onethird of the day's entire business. It opened at 144, or one-half a point higher than the final sale Saturday and advanced steadily until at the closing hour the tape recorded 14S. An advance of four points in these dull markets is rather unusual. The continued talk of a holding company being organized to take over all the Union Pacific's holdings in other properties wa3 the cause of the advance. If such a procedure takes place, a handsome
melon will be cut and the present stock j
holders will benefit greatly. The plan as yet In Its infancy. The practica-
Etrong with very little change from Saturday. OATS Suffered early weakness in sympathy with the decline in wheat and the more seasonable weather conditions throughout the southwest. In the latter half of the session prices advanced easily and regained all of the early declines. Nothing new in the way of news to affect the general trend of values. The market closed strong.

Union Stock Yards, April 29. Hogs closed fairly active. Light, $6.40 to 6.60; mixed, $6.35 to 6.55; heavy, $6.20 to 6.55; rough, $6.20 to 6.30. Cattle closed steady; sheep closed steady.
rate the rumors have the desired ef
feet of causing the shorts to cover.
The crop news from the southwest
was or a more assuring nature. De-
lines in the wheat market at the prin-
ipal trade centers acted as a stimulus
to the bulls upon railroad stocks. If the crop losses are exaggerated, stock
alues, especially the grain carrying
roads, show a marked appreciation in
value.
Expectation of an excellent showing
for the quarterly statement of the
United States Steel company caused a
stronger undertone for these shares.
The statement is to be given to the
public tomorrow. The earnings are undoubtedly enormous and should have
strengthening effect upon the prices
of both the common and preferred shares. The balance of the market showed advances varying from one to two points over Saturday's figures. The closing was strong in spots with still further advances probable.
The call loan rate reached the low
est thus far this year, ruling at one per cent.
WITH THE EDITORS
Garfield Is Fooling Them.
James A. Garfield continues to make
an Impression. When he began as sec
retarv of the interior there were those
who smiled and said things about the
"tennis" cabinet. Mr. Garfield, how
ever, is fooling all such; he Is making good. lie has the land grafters on the run and it is announced that he will
not stop until he has them rounded up
He says that he will get them all and it will be well for both Mr. Garfield
and the public If he does. He has a
chance to make a record, and he seem to bo starting out to do so.
The effort of the interior departmen to put a stop to grafting in connec tion with public lands and also in con
neetlon with the management of the
affairs of the Indians is to be main
talned and with renewed vigilance. At
least Mr. Garfield says so. He pro poses to do this by thoroughly ac qualnting himself with actual condi
tions by visiting the public domain and by doing the same with the Indian
reservations. Mr. Garfield has th
right idea. He will do. The first
thing is to get an accurate estimate of the thing that is to be done and then it is time to act. The secretary may not be as highly successful as present conditions indi
cate. He has never been what might be termed a brilliant man and he has not always won in what he has undertaken. He fell down on his Investigation of the beef trust, but he did quite the opposite in his oil inquiry. Mr. Garfield has always had a way of taking his work seriously. He Is determined and ready to put forth his best efforts. The present is the time for him to work harder than ever. He has a chance to score his greatest victory and an opportunity to make a name for himself. Mr. Garfield, whom President Roosevelt calls "Jimmie," seems to be starting right. He is making good.

One sure sign of the advent of the first of May was the appearance in the financial district of many moving vans. It induced the comment that in many instances moving this May is coupled with the thought of reorganization. Certain important announcements in that respect are looked for within a few days, and despite denials, rumors of dissolution of certain firms are accepted as facts.

Chicago, April 29 WHEAT. The reactionary tendency which was in evidence at the close of the session Saturday continued this morning. Foreign markets showed a disposition to weak
ness. The one bear argument which
was friven precedence over all others
was the copious rain which Kansas en
loved over Sunday. The rains stopped
the talk of damage by the green bugs

the general movement is that while the United .States is trying to minimize and even exclude Italian, Hungarian and Japanese immigration, Brazil is encouraging all these countries. The Brazilian government recently granted a subsidy of $500,000 a year "to any shipping company which phall establish a regular service between Brazil and Japan for the development of trade between the two countries, and the carrying of immigrants." Thus tha process of international miscegenation goes on and population finds its level along the lines of least resistance. It is possible, too, that the United States may discover before long that It la waste of time to try to cultivate trade with eastern nations while prohibiting immigration of their people.

One can perhaps imagine although it is not an easy mental operation young America putting up with this puritanical code for a few months or perhaps a year, but when the good father adds a corollary that men should not marry before the age of thirty or women before the age of twenty-four, the hopelessness of popularizing any such system in the United States is obvious. Besides we are very sure that President Roosevelt will not sanction the latter clause,' If for no other reason.
to the increased facilities of travel and partly of the growing freedom of people to go where they please to better
their condition. It is a comparatively easy thing nowadays for people to exchange one nationality for another, and the United States is about the only country in -the world that is not experiencing a 6teady loss of population. Even Great Britain, which Is a very good country to live In, suffered a loss of 225,038 citizens In 1906 by emigration. Of these 114,838 went to Canada, 144,701 to the United States and 19,531 to Australia and New Zealand. The Canadian government Is preserving statistics of emigration from the United Slates to Canada and at the present rate of increase It will not be loner before Canada will be pretty well

EECOIL TO UNIONS. It is to be hoped that none of tha local trade unions will follow the example of the central labor body .and commit themselves to the cause of the Western Miners' Federation officials soon to be tried in Idaho. The men may be Innocent, and it is to be earnestly hoped that they are and that tho fact may be fully established in court. On the other hand, they may bo guilty.
and their guilt may be proved beyond
question. In that event the Central Labor union will be left in a very unenviable position. The general publio is not aware of the fact that there is a distinct difference between the rational trades unionism of the American Federation of Labor of which tha Mlneworkers' union, headed by John Mitchell. Is a part, and the Western Federation of Miners, headed by Haywood and Moyer. This latter organization is radically socialistic, not to say anarchistic. No more severe ara their written and uttered denunciations of "brutal capitalists" than their bitter condemnation of Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell because those leaders strive to accomplish by peaceful an! legitimate methods what the radicals of the Haywood, Moyer and Debs stripe would accomplish by terrorism, force and bloodshed. It is well for unions governed by reason and a correct conception of their relations to the balance of the industrial and social world to consider all possibilities ere they load their guns with 'Gene Deb3 and Haywood venom and fire at the president. There may be a recoil that will hurt. Indianapolis Independent.
