GARY IS GOING TO CUT LOOSE AGAIN. I " ;"' IT IS POSITIVELY' REFRESHING to turn from politics to Gary, Lake -county's baby whose long dresses are getting scandalous so fast Is it growing. Gary must be put into trousers soon. Its sponsors will have to skip the short dress period of its existence. While the rest of the country is worryling over one thing and another Gary is tending strictly to its own affairs, jwith delightful abandon, it T3 getting ready to pull off another of those

big advertising stunts which make all the rest of the cities in this corner

iof the state look silly. On the 2?.d of July Gary is to have festal day nuni

make other cities around here sit up and take notice! '-. THE DEMOCRATS GOT BUSY QUITE EARLY.

THE EDITORS OF THE DEMOCRATIC campaign book did not have to wait until after their convention to prepare their criticism of republican extravagance as far as the administration is concerned. Here is one issue

on which the "outs" can always rely, whatever other issues with the "ins'

may be lacking. Extravagance is after all bi-partisan, a fault belonging to whichever party is in power while economy is a virtue always claimed

by the opponents. Moreover the issue is always new and can never be threshed out. It may be somewhat difficult to identify, by means of the

Congressional Record, the democratic principle of economy, but the ex

travagance of government will prove a prolific subject at all time and places. If the democratic party were in power, the republicans would certainly have

a great deal to say about their extravagance, but as the peerless leader's .friends have not been located at the public teat for some time, it is their

(day to cry extravagance. WHAT ABOUT GOV. GLENN'S STATEMENT?

AS TO LIVING 150 YEARS. How long do you hope to live? The answer largely will depend upon your age. Just now much is being 6ald about the art of long living. Says a recent writer, "There is no good reason why a man should not live to be 150 years old."

Beg pardon! There are some reasons to the contrary, even should a man be able to keep body and soul together that long. The reasons are inside the man in the woof and web of his spirit. The man who reaches, say, ninety years may have the desire to live

longer. He may not be appalled at

the future stretching out before Mm for another sixty years, but he is sim

ply UNABLE IN SFIRIT to accomplish It.

He is built that way. In spite of

his primal love of living, he simply

gets tired of mortal life. He has "suffered the slings and arrows of out

rageous fortune" until In the very knot

and center of his being he la weary-

weary as a tired child at eventide.

Why? The aged man Is necessarily a lonely

man. He has far outlived his genera

tion. He is out of touch with the world. His dear ones have gone beforethe playmates of his youth, the

friends of his early manhood, the com

panions of middle age, all gone. And in the very nature of things he cannot

make new friends like the old ones. Youth must consort with youth, age

with age. And, lacking the stimulus

of normal and natural associations, HIS SriRIT DROOrS. It must be so.

And again: The aged man has lost the fine flush

to enthusiasm and the fine edge to en

deavor that go with his early years.

niS SPIRIT IS DULLED.

The aged man is disillusioned. Once

he built beautiful castles in Spain.

He has seen them toppled to earth. Once the mirages of life enticed him, but he has 6een them rise and dissi

pate themselves.

Tired, lonely, disillusioned that is

why men die when they die of old age.

It Is wn for one to live as long as

he can usefully and happily. But better, infinitely better, than a mere

stretch of years is the life that worthi

ly spends its threescore and ten and

when the shadows lengthen lies down

to pleasant dreams.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS

The meeting between Ben Bell and

ex-Senator T. E. Bell when the latter

gets back to Fond Du Lac will doubt

less be a tearful affair.

GOVERNOR GLENN OF NORTH CAROLINA made the statement at the temperance conference at Winona lake that the prohibition party has

done the temperance cause more harm than good.

This remark aroused a great storm of protest at the conference but there is nevertheless a great deal of truth in the statement The great progress which has been made in the regulation of the liquor traffic has not been done by the prohibition party but by the temperance advocates in the

republican and democratic parties.

In fact the brewers and saloonkeepers would be delighted if they were compelled to face only the opposition of the prohibitionists. For years the prohibition party has been educating the people. In this manner they have

'accomplished a great deal but it would have accomplished more if it had been known simply as an association for the dissemination of knowledge

of the evils of intemperance. The Indiana citizen who vote for the prohibition ticket this year will iEimply throw away his vote. Both the democratic and the republican parties have pledged themselves to the enactment of strong liquor laws. One plank is no stronger than another. You can take your pick. But the republican party and the democratic party stand for other issues which are vital to the welfare of the community. As citizens we must recognize the fact that the temperance issue is but one of the problems which our legislators must face next fall. It is true that there is a wave, in favor of the elimination of the saloon, sweeping over Indiana. There have been many converts to the cause of temperance but if any of these think they are furthering that cause by voting for a party that has never done a single concrete thing for the enactment of laws which will eradicate, what some believe to be an evil they are badly mistaken. It is up to the prohibitionist to gather his wits together and choose from the big parties of the state as to which will best further his cause.

Take this as the last advice that Wellman Sivits could give." CORONER MACK REPORTS. Coroner Mack of Iaporte this afternoon filed his formal report on the

THE CREAM OF THE Morning News

New York, July 1". The Kings county democratic general committee adopted a resolution last night indorsing the platform adopted and nominations made by the national convention at Denver, and pledging a united support to the platform and candidates. Senator McCarren, whose contesting delegation failed of being seated at

Denver, introduced the resolution and added: "Never was there such overwhelming sentiment displayed in a convention for any man. The convention itself established a precedent in nominating a twice-defeated candidate. Never

has there been so high a tribute paid

I to the personality of one man. Inasi much as the democracy of the United ' States has seen lit to nominate Mr. Bryan, the traditions of our organization compel us to rally to his support j heartily. "It has been my privilege to know

the candidate for the vice presidency for a number of years, and I know that no matter how great Mr. Brayn is, he has a worthy associate in Mr. Kern, who, if the necessity arose, would assume the office of president with credit to himsalf and honor to the party."

According to his decision the State of Indiana had no niore right to license liquor selling than to license gambling, being dangerous to public morals and public safety. Like Seaborn Wright Judge Artman has never ben identified with th" prohibition party heretofore. He was elected to offic eon the republican ticket. Many of the delegates express the opinion that the party should not find it necessary to go outside the prohibition ranks to find their candidates.
