Edward William Bok, the well known

Philadelphia editor and writer, was born in the little town of Helder, near

Amsterdam, Holland, on October 9,

1863. His great-grandfather was ad

miral in chief of the Dutch navy, his grandfather a chief justice of the supreme court and his father one of the ministers of the court of King William

III. Business reverses led his father to emigrate to America with his fam

ily in 1869. He settled In Brooklyn, where young Bok received his educa

tion. At the age of 13 years he became office boy in" the employ of the

Western Union Telegraph company. He

devoted his spare time to study and soon became a stenographer. At the

age of .19 he became editor of the Brooklyn magazine which he sold after a few years, to become connected with

the publishing firm of Henry Holt &

Company, and later with that of Charles Scribner's Sons. At tha age of

25 he became the editor of a magazine for women published in Philadelphia. He has also won recognition on the lecture platform, principally by

his talks about "The Keys to Success," addressed to young men.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS And how 'bout yoh coal bin?

MR. GOKPERS IS COMING to Hammond and. Oar? with his retinae

this month to tell the honest toilers -of this section- of the- great common wealth of Indiana how to vote.

Mr. Gompers has been in the United States three years and denies the stories that he has not been naturalized. He has his naturalization papers. It is impossible to forecast the effect of his visit. That will not be

known until three weeks from Wednesday. Tfce Aimignty Diessea Mr.

Gompers with a splendid set of brains, but he will have to shown hundreds of inteligent laboring men in the Calumet region, where, when it

comes to knowing how to exercise the right of suffrage, his brains are any is treading on the heels of the rear

better than theirs. With all respect to Mr. Gompers we honestly believe guar(I

that the men who have grown up in this country and who have cut their "eye teeth" on politics, are better able to judge than he is whom they

should vote for. We believe that the workingmen of this region are better acquainted with Mr. Marshall and Mr. Watson than he is. We believe that they, understand the principles of republicanism and democracy better than Mr. Gompers does. We believe that the majority of the toilers, the union

Gary, East Chicago, Whiting" and Indiana Harbor consider Mr. Gompers

proposed visit to this region to tell them how to vote is an insult to their intelligence. . By the way, Mr. Workingmen, have you heard of an official

of the federation ;unions stumping for Taft? Why this interest of Mr,

' Gompers in politics? What Is there In it for Mr. Gompers. We believe,

Mr". Workingman, that if you vote for Mr. Bryan it wont be because Mr.

Gompers orders you to. .

la considering" tbe Isaac, of the day ,it 1. necessary to remember that nnles. Indiana elect, a republican legislature on November 3, the return of Indiana's Junior senator, Hon. James A. Hemenway, will be defeated. If the state loses the service of Senator Hemenway, she lo.e. a man who ha. become noted for the splendid nork he has done for both state aad country at Washington. The voters of Lake county should remember that they need to vote for 10. W. Wlckey of East Chicago, and W. H. Kllver of Gary, to Insure Senator Hemenway. return to hi. duties. - That he 1. deserving of their suffrage Is proved by a careful persual of the story of his public career. Senator James A. Hemenway, Junior United States senator from Indiana,

Is a lloosier, bred and born. Ills home la BoonvlIIe Is within a short distance of the house In which he was born, fory-elght years ago. He comes iroiu the pioneer stock of southern Indiana. His life has been passed In this state and he essentially Is a representative of the real Indiana. Senator Hemenway has been In public life since 1894, when be was first elected to congress from the Evansvllle district. Since that time his service In Congress has been continuous, four years of the time in the senate, the re

mainder in the house of representatives. IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL HE IS REGARDED AS ONE OP THE SAFEST ADVISERS AND ONE OF THE

so far in advance of hla party that he I COMMITTEES. It Is well known by those who are familiar with the legislation

In Washington that it la la the committee rooms where the real legislation Is wrought. In this committee work Hemenway baa performed his most valuable services. He is not of the sensational type, there being nothing whatever about him that suggests pyrotechnics. He speaks little, bat he acts much. Tbe truth Is that Jamea A.

NESS. He does not speak often nor at length, but what he says carries with it

the congress great weight because he la recognised a. a man with analytical

mind, absolutely cool and Imperturbable.

By profession Senator Hemenway Is a lawyer. The only public office be

ever held, except his several terms as congressman from the first Indiana dla

trlct and bis present term as senator, was the office of prosecuting attorney for

his Judicial district. After becoming a member of congress, however, he gave Bp all active practice of the law, and bis entire time and attention have been

given to bis public dates. HEME N WAY'S WORKTTBN THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. Henemway's busness Judgment found recognition in the house soon after

col and that It is the cheapest steam producing coal. This immediately gave Indiana coals a reputation that enables the Indiana operators t. compete suceeasfully with steam and gaa coal mined In l'eaosylvania and West Virginia. This has brought an advance ia value of Indiana coal many hundreds of thousand, of dollars. AMERICAN CORN IN FOREIGN MARKETS. In his many interviews with consuls and other foreign representative, who appeared before the appropriations committee. Senator Hemenway discovered

that the foreign .demand for American corn was not a. great as It should be because of the little knowledge In other parts of the world as to the employment of com aa food for the human family. Mr., Hfiiwuiiaj provided for an appropriation that established what was called the "corn kitchen" at tbe Parts

vxposltion, ia whicb American cooks served American corn in every style free to visitors. These cooks supplied corn-dodgers, corn cakes, homily grits, corn

in every way that it can be prepared for eating. This "corn kitchen" was one of tbe attractive features of the exhibition and proved a valuable campaign in

behalf of this American product. The following year the exports of corn were largely Increased and this Increase Is growing every year as the outcome of tbe Paris "corn kitchen.' HEMENWAY ALWAYS A FRIEND TO LABOR LEGISLATION. While be was In the house of representatives, and since he has been senator, Hemenway has been a consistent supporter of nil national labor legislation. He is one of the strongest advocates of laws providing for tbe protection of Chinese emigration. He was active ia the support of the bill restricting Chinese emigration prior to the adoption of the International Treaty on th. subject. Tbe ralroad men of tbe country have always found him responsive to their calls for laws In protection of their lives, their limbs and their rights. It was he who secured amendments to tbe coupler law requiring the use of nir brakes. ONE OF SENATOR I1EMEN WAY'S PET BILLS WAS INTRODUCED IN THE LAST SESSION OF COSGRESS, AND THROUGH HIS PARTICULAR EFFORTS IT HAS BECOME A LAW. This is the bill requiring locomotives en railroad, to be equipped with ashpana that can be dumped from the outside and without tbe necessity of the firemen getting under the engine or risking tbetr

lives in cleaning out the ashpans. When this matter was first presented to Senator Hemenway by a representative of tbe railroad organization, he was immediately impressed with the merit of tbe measure, and worked for it unceasingly until It was a part of the statutes. This was a great victory for him, as the question was not taken up until tbe closing day. of congre.., when there was much hurry and confusion, and it was opposed by a powerful railroad lobby, the railroads objecting to the bill because of the expense necessary tn equipping Jhe locomotives with the sort of asbpan provided for in the bill. Senator Ilemenway'B statement before tbe committee on interstate commerce was unanswerable. HE CONVINCED THE COMMITTEE THAT IT WAS PRACTICABLE TO HAVE ASHPANS OF THIS CHARACTER, THAT SUCH A LAW WOULD SAVE HUNDREDS OF LIVE6 THIS YEAR, THAT IT WOULD NOT, COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING, COST TIIE RAILROADS MUCH MORE

WHEN THE GOOD EFFECT OF IT IN PROTECTING THEIR EMPLOYES WAS CONSIDERED, AND HE INSISTED THAT A RAILROAD WHICH FAILED TO

DO ALL PRACTICABLE TO PROTECT ITS EMPLOYES FROM PHYSICAL

INJURY, STOOD IN ITS OWN LIGHT.

aclentioua application to tbe committee work. In the actual labors of a member Of congress Industry counts for as much as intelligence, and tn Hemenway

tbese qualities were combined. Aa a member of the appropriation, committee, hi. personal work brought about the passage of many valuable laws, and his Influence waa felt In tbe shaping of all general legislation in the house. A REPUTATION ESTABLISHED FOR DEPARTMENTAL ECONOMY. Among the first thing, tht Hemenway did In Impressing himself on tbe lift air. of tbe government was te insist on tbe application of business principles 'to tbe business of the government. Early he secured the passage of an amendment to a legislative appropriation bill changing the system of paying United Statea deputy marshal, and district attorneys. Previously to this time they received their eoanpeusatUra in fees, a system that was unsatisfactory in many ways, aad not Infrequently was the cause of unjust prosecution. This Amendment provided for their services at a fixed salary, and the first year of tbe new law's operation it RESULTED IN A SAVING OF 91,300,000 TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. The stcond. year the saving was greater than this sum, and it has served as a measure of economy as well as n measure to prevent many annoying and unnecessary prosecutions that were practiced under thcold fee system.

FORY-TWO MILLION DOLLARS CUT OFF IN A SINGLE YEAR.

- While chairman of tbe appropriation, committee Mr. Hemenway discovered that the government wa. duplicating too much work, many department, doing tbe same thing practically that was being done in other departments. Following due investigation it was discovered that tbe approprlstlons asked for that year eould be cut down 842,000,000 without any Impairment to the services, and the reduction was made. Some of the bureaus of the departments, however, were Inclined to be pretty

much more difficult circumstances, but they are not killing one-third as many men. Thereupon he prepared and caused to be adopted an amendment to. the appropriations bill providing for S15O,090 for the federal government to use in the investigation of the cause of mine accidents and to the looking into of general mine accidents in the United States. The purpose of this la to discover whether or not we can find more scientific plans of mining, tbe putting into operation of which will serve to save tbe live, of many miners and prevent tbe waste of much fuel. This is the first federal legislation ever adopted looking to the interests of the men who work under tbe ground aad supply n. with our fuel, n securing this appropriation Senator Hemenway bad the active cooperation of all tbe other republican members of the Indiana delegation in congress. The United States government, following tbe making of this appropriation for this purpose, ha. taken it up, and conference, are being held among officers of the geological survey, and the head, of the explosive commission of

Great Britain, and representatives of the mining commission of Germany, and Belgium. HEMENWAY'S SERVICE IN RECOVERING THE INDIANA WAR DEBT. Several states held war debts against the federal government, among them, Indiana. These debts were of long standing, and years were consumed la their adjudication. Several of these were pressed for final determination during Mr. Hemenway's term In the house ef representatives. To reimburse Indiana, an appropriation of 025,000 wa. made, Mr. Hemenway taking it npon himself the liberty of securing the claim, without having attached to it any expense for attorney's fees. This was not the situation in other statea. The state of

Kentucky, for Instance, paid an attorney tea per cent of the mm recovered to look after the collection of the claim that state held against the government. FROM SENATOR HEMENWAY'S WORK AND INFLUENCE, THE $623,000 WAS RETURNED TO THE STATE TREASURY WITHOUT ONE CENT FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES.

county but Mr. Carter and Mr. Simon. It is common as dead leaves that

the party is to make a united effort to do everything imaginable to elect Marshall, Carter and Simon. It is common talk that the rest of the national, state, congressional and county is to be dumped, if it will aid the democrats in electing their favorities, Messrs. Marshall, Carter and Simon. This is, of course, highly flattering to the three gentlemen named, but how will the- rest of the candidates feel about it? This is not a campaign He, it does not emanate . from republican headquarters. It is heard from democrats themselves. , The Times does not give it as iBBuing from democratic headquarters or claim that it is generally agreed upon, but it does know that the lion'6 share of the workthe gum-shoe work on the democratic ticket in Lake county, is to shove everybody overboard except Mr, Marshall, Mr. Carter and Mr. Simon.
