" The recent riots at Indiana Harbor are but "an expression of the feelings . of . the .great array of , unemployed which inhabits this entire . region. ' The only difference is that the sentiments "broke out" In this Instance and It is liable-to- break out again not only in Indiana Harbor but elsewhere. The first feeling by the public when hearing of these outbreaks Is one of

' tensure and resentment. But If the condemn and censure could go Into the

pose these mobs and see the evidences of the poverty and want that has robbed them of not only every simple comfort ! they might formerly have ; possessed, but of the very necessities that sustain life, they would have 'patience. Violence is the only law known to the hopelessly ignorant, when j their willing toll and the fruits thereof, are denied them. In many instances the starving folk, know not wher.e to turn for aid. They are unfamiliar with the laws of this country and the means they afford for the care of those unable to help themselves. All they know is that there are others less poor than themselves who have food and clothes and fuel. That work means bread to them. And that they have neither work nor bread. They must have these end as their; minds run in simple channels they cannot see the utter hopelessness of force, the only law they know In the great struggle which

, In the end represents to them the survival of the fittest.

But notwithstanding all this, the fact still remains that all violence and all demonstrations that may lead to violence, must be met promptly and unflinchingly by the police . Riots, whether fully developed or incipient, must be put down with a firm hand for they serve only to harm all parties con-

cerned. It is the only way.

Now while these things are in the air, while the conditions that have I brought -them -about are 'too apparent to be ignored, there Is a rift in the cloud3. It appears in the coming election. There can be no doubt that If the

panic, which brought the present depression, had occurred a year or so ! earlier than it did that it would have been of short duration. But election year,l3 always an off year under the most propitious circumstances, and starting off as Inauspiciously as did this election year, the havoc wrought was great.

An official in one of the must important Industries throughout the Cal

timet region recently made the most year. The fact that the present hard not by reason of any national calamity, ' depletlcra of the natural resources of
