IF BRYAN WERE PRESIDENT?

SOME OF BRYAN'S FAINT-HEARTED supporters this week have expressed the belief that his election could not hurt the country because any fad he might further in the White House would be blocked by the republican

senate. Yv'hat a shilly-shally excuse.

Bryan, as president, would do irremediable harm passively, as well as

actively. His election would affect general industry. His election would affect general industry injuriously. Creating distrust, it would keep idle the

mills that are idle, and are afraid to open because they fear his election.

His election would tend to shut down factories all over the country, now

running. Bryan is still, always was, and always will be, a disturbing factor,

political and commercial.

Business, of course, would not be crippled for years by his election

Business can get in harmony with its environment, even when that is restrictive, but for at least one-fourth, and perhaps half of "his term, it would

be crippled by the lack, of confidence in the immediate future.

While it halted the whole land would suffer, farmers as well as factory workers. Is it a pleasing prospect? The homilies and hysterical harangues

that Bryan would empty on congress for popular consumption would not sat

isfy a people yearning for the continuation of the federal policies of the past

five years. His discourses and diatribes for Bryan can be an awful scold as well as a preacher would give us a bad name, lessening our credit among nations. " With Bryan's questional financial beliefs, it would be a fine thing to put him at the head of a government by whose presidential direction

a billion dollars may be spent.

Fine prospect, isn't it? . , - -i ' THE BREWERS OPEN THE BUNGHOLE OF THEIR BARREL. WHO DARES TO SAY THAT THE brewer bosslets of Chicago, Cincinnati, Terre Haute and Fort Wayne are not working tooth and toe-nail to elect Thomas Marshall governor of Indiana? Look at them hurrying from all points of the compass to Indianapolis where the sfate legislature is now in session. With all their insolence and arrogance; with all their millions of dollars, to pull wires and to use their influence for the defeat of the county option and James A. Watson. Their shanaelessness in openly avowing that they will defeat the republican ticket, if it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it, is all the evidence that the voters of this fair state need to prove that the democratic pary and the brewery combine are bed-fellows to get control of the state legislature. The awakening that the Marshallities and the brewers have in store for

them in six weeks when the brewery dispising democrats and their

name is legion, join hands with the brewery-hating republicans at the polls, will certainly be a rebuke to their insolence The republicans at Indianapolis

should remember that the word has gone out to the brewers' henchmen and

supporters all over the state to knife the republican ticket and county opk tion. A grave responsibility rests upon the republican legislators and the democratic legislators who vote against county option, are marked for defeat.

INDIANA HARBOR WILL ENTERTAIN Senator James Hemenway and Congressman Burton tomorrow night at the biggest political rally that Lake county has seen in years. The republican organization has arranged for a

monster meeting on a night when every voter in the twin cities will be able to be out. Gary, Whiting and Hammond will also send big delegations thither and old General Apathy will certainly get his trimmings. If you want to hear the man who nominated Secretary Taft for president of the United

States, go to Indiana Harbor tomorrow night. CONGRESSMAN E. D. CRUMPACKER, who secured a magnificent $143,

000 federal building for Hammond, can afford to smile at the attacks made upon him by the little souls who are not satisfied unless he got a federal

building for every street corner in the city. We wonder how much that most

retiring candidate, that modest and maidenly gentleman Darroch would ever

succed in getting for this region?

THE ENTERPRISING GENTLEMEN, who are behind the Lincoln-Jeffer

son College of Law, which was formally ushered into existence last night in

Hammond believe they have a project which is destined to be a great thing for the Calumet region. We believe it will. The' college has a remarkable territory in which to enlist students. The founders have got on the ground

HIS MOTHER'S HAND. The purchase of the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln by an association and its forthcoming dedication raise the old question as to the forces that Bhaped Lincoln's life. What made him great? Henry Watterson, the Louisville editor, says la his lecture on Lincoln that

the man was Inspired, just as Moses

was Inspired, which sounds well, but Is Indefinite.

Which was It heredity, environment

or will power that shaped the crude

Lincoln Into greatness? '

Plainly enough, it was all these

force and something more.

He had something from heredity

that Kentucky mother.

He had something from his environ

menthardships, obstacles, opposition.

He had much from his own strong

will power, and his will power was

shaped by his ideals. Where did Lincoln get his Ideals?

Now we are getting down to the core

of the matter.

When that wilderness mother, Nancy

Hanks Lincoln, died In the log cabin in

Spencer eounty, Ind., whither the fam

Ily moved from Kentucky, she put her

hand on the head of v her wilderness

boy, eight years of age, and said:

I'm going away, my boy, but I want

you to rememDer mat your motner

wants you to be a good and a useful

man."

There was the beginning of Abraham

Lincoln's ideals!

How many- times In his after life

that boy felt upon his head the hand of his dying mother and heard her words we may not know, but we do

know that in the boyislj. heart was the

high resolve to make his mother's

dream of him come true.

Pluck, spirit of endurance, applica-tlon-PLUS A MOTHER'S HAND, A MOTHER'S WORDS made Lincoln

great

Remember how Thomas Lincoln cut

down a poplar tree and sawed out by

hand the lumber with, which, he nailed

together the rude coffin for Nancy

Hanks Lincoln?

And by the side of the grave stood

little Abraham, holding his little sister

by the hand hatles3, ragged, freckled,

ungainly a sorry beginning for a great

life. But

The touch of a vanished hand and

the sound of a voice that was still helped to fashion the boy Into what he

afterward became.

A mother's hand, a mother's voice don't forget to look for these in every

life.

INDIANA LAND HIGH.

C. J. Harris of Morocco, a large land

owner, yesterday sold 2,000 acres of land In the Beaver Lake country, In northern Newton county, for $100 an

acre. This land, -which could have

An interesting case scheduled for

trial tomorrow in the circuit court is that of Hurby Ham against his mother-

in-law, Mrs. Martha E. Leslie of Eliza-

bethtown, claiming $10,000 as a price tor the love, companionship and affection of his wife, Lottie, who, according to the plaintiff, was alienated from

him by the acts tof her mother. PREDICT REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

republican, it is predicted will result at the special election at Rensselaer tomorrow, to succeed State Senator McCain, who resigned. The counties

ORGANIZE MANY CLUBS. Through the efforts of Edward E.

Neal, president of the Indiana Lincoln

league, and his corps of district and county organizers the organization of

republican clubs is being extended over

thoroughness. In every district the

organizers are active.

The boys and girls are enjoying a toboggan

slide on Cunningham's hill at the north edge of this city. The drought has toughened the grass and the hot sun has burned the blades until they are as slick as glass. The sleds go down the steep incliive as swiftly as on the smoothest ice in winter. CORN WILL RAISE. Many Morocco farmers are holding

HIT MOTHER FIGHT Charles Baker's Services as Promoter is Sought by

' Welterweights.

' Boston, Sept. 17. Chicago wound up the season's series In Boston today with a victory, beating the doves 4 to J in a weird contest. The strife was full of possibilities, but the cubs connected. In more timely fashion and Reulbach himself finally clinched the game with a smash over third base that sent home two runs and paved the way to another. Boston had enough men on bases to

score a dozen runs, and yet it was lucky that they managed to get their ace. In every inning except one during the entire game the doves fluttered all

around the bases, and the fact that eleven of them were left on the pillows is a striking testimonial to Reulbach's

luck. The doves seemed able to hit him almost at will until hits meant

runs, and then they could not hit at all,

Charley Baker, who managed.the. Anderson end of the Andersan-Mahoney Labor day fight may In the very near future put on another contest in the same territory. This time, however, he will act as promoter he having been appealed to by Fred Lucas of New York and Dick Fitzpatrick, two welterweights who are anxious to get together. The Anderson-Mahoney bout was so successful that the fight fans hereabouts are having new hope relative to

the survival of the sport.

Manager Baker has not yet decided

when the bout will be put on but ff It

goes through at all It will be sometime in October.

Carl Anderson too, may get busy again

in a few weeks having somo Michigan game in sight.

ville (Ga.) News.

If ever the people over the state

thought that General Apathy was going

to manage the campaign for both par

ties this year, they were badly mis

taken. Groups of men congregate on

the street corners and talk politics and

there have been some heated political

discussions.

The time of the campaign is now so

short that it is sure to be heated from

now on. The republicans are planning

to literally deluge the cities of the

Calumet region with- speakers of the

very best order.

The Hemenway meeting at Indiana Harbor will be the first big one, and

that will be followed by the big Wat

son meeting In Hammond. The re

publican meetings will be held in big tents for the reason that there is no

auditorium In Hammond which is large enough to hold the crowd3 which will

attend the republican meetings.

Oh, pshaw! Charity is more

than old clothes and tolera

Some of the leading democrats continue to pull hard at Mr. Bryan's coat-

It is only a question of time, until

the records arrive, when the phono

graphs in the democratic headquarters at Hammond may be set in motion to

reel off political speeches. The rooms have been supplied with two machines and the records have been ordered, and

it will not be very long now until the faithful will find a new amusement in their headquarters. Among the records will be a number of Bryan's speeches and other sayings of democratic orators.

The K. C.s and the C. I. & S. boiler-

assured of a good game. Tho prob
