JUST A LITTLE BIT OFF THE TOP.
IT IS KOT NECESSARY TO POINT out the fact to the business men f r.rv that if thev wish to draw trade to their stores and get rid of the
merchandise on their shelves, that it will be profitable for them to ad
vertise in any newspaper that reaches the people. The Times is broad
. i,- kn on ovorHainir la swd advertising. Because a news-
naner is Huilt and conducted on picayunish and narrow-minded lines, fear
ing honest competition, using subterfuge in the obtaining of its business, wailing and whining because it cannot get ALL the business is proof enough nf its weakness. The business man should advertise in the newspaper that
will give him results. . If he finds that he is advertising in a newspaper that is not getting results for him, he might as well throw his good money into the street. It is his business to advertise in such away that he can show up his competitor no matter whether that competitor be located in Chicago. or Garv. It is entirely unnecessary to enumerate the superiority of The Times
as an advertising medium; all that is necessary is to compare it with any paper circulated' in Gary. It reaches people who take it because it gives the news of Lake county, as no other paper can give it. There is nothing provincial about The Times. Thriving youngster as Gary is, no one can ever call Gary provincial. Its' citizens come from all parts of the United
States, but they come in flocks and droves from Hammond, Whiting, Indiana Tiarhnr F.ast Chicaeo. Crown Point and other places in Lake county. They
have friends, relatives and interests in these places. They want to know what is going on in all these cities and the only way they can inform themselves is by reading The Times, which is not only the first daily paper that Gary had, but it has done more to bring Lake county people to realize the greatness of Gary and to cause many of them to settle there and to buy real estate there, than any other means. There are hundreds of people who take The Times in Lake county just to watch Gary's growth. Many of them will make Gary their homes ere long. The argument that The Times is not printed in Gary has about as much weight in it as a feather in foam. The circulation of The Times is not circumscribed by the city limits. The business men who advertise in its columns know .that it is widely read in Gary and in the region that feeds Gary, and fears no competition. In fact The Time3 welcomes' it. It glories in the fact that the paper that ."knocks" it fears it an is boosting-it by an absurd effort to boycott it. The Times can fight for itself as it can fight for Gary, and it is in Gary to stay. The sooner that fact is recognized, the less wincing the "galled jade" will do. O v--THE MISTAKE OF MR. GOMPERS.

A CRUEL JEST. At Cleveland, O., some time ago. this
advertisement appeared in the newspa
pers:
WANTED. Two hundred laborers and
teamsters immediately. Wages $2 50 per day. Apply D, E. BROWN. The Holien-den.
Mr. Brown was assistant superin
tendent of the Crucible Steel company of Pittsburg. He had just been mar
ried. The newspaper account goes on to say: "In blissful unconsciousness of the trouble in store for blm Mr. Brown opened the door and was greeted by a delegation of teamsters and laborers wbo wanted work. He told them there must be some mistake. "Downstairs he was 6tormed by 200 more. Packing his grip, he and bis
bride fled from the hotel. Friends of humorous Instincts had perpetrated the joke and got much enjoyment out of
Mr. Brown's discomfiture." As to the latter expression no doubt
Mr. Brown's friends were plainly of
that sort who would get much enjoyment out of that gentleman's discomfi
tnre regardless of the feelings of others. ButWhat of the two or three hundred worklngmen so cruelly fooled to make a holiday for the friends of Mr. Brown? These men were looking for employment and neediDg work. Who knows? Short meals may have been eaten in laborers homes because of the disappointment. The creel delusion may have blasted the hopes for a little money to pay on rent to save eviction or on pressing bills. Who knows? It is no joke to be looking for work and be turned away. It is just such wealthy snobs as these friends of Mr. Brown who by
their callous feeling for the workingmaivby their indifference for and contempt of the welfare of honest working people it Is these Gallios, who care nor, who are widening the breach between capital and labor. When decent, deserving, calloused handed laborers can be cruelly used to point the jests and adorn the practical jokes of rich young lazaronl such an episode becomes a social tragedy. How one wishes some of those big fisted workingmen might have located the. perpetrators of the 1oke!
APPROVE NEW ROADS. The viewers on nine gravel roads in
Hamilton county made their report this morning and recommended construction at a cost of about S0,000. The bonded indebtedness on the townships of.llamllton county for school
houses and road improvement for the year of 190S will aggregate $500,000.
JEAN VALJEAN A WITNESS. John Allison, formerly of South Bend, now of Jackson. Mich:, better known as Michigan's Jean Valjean, because of his reformation after escaping from prison and living an honest life for two years before being recaptured, will
be a witness in the disbarment proceedings against Prosecutor Joseph Talbot. CITY AFTER PACKERS. The culmination of a long standing fight between the Ft. Wayne city administration and the Leikauf Packing company came this afternoon when Chief of Police Ankenbruck posted an officer before the plant to prevent any one purchasing meat at the establishment. GLASS FACTORY" RESUMES. The Cicero glass 'factory at Noblesville started yesterday after being idle three months. The factory Is being operated by nonunion labor for the first
time since it was built. A carload Of
glass blowers arrived last night. The
glass company and the union for the
last year have been unable to agree. BOY AND GIRL ELOPE.

IN THE MEANTIME WHAT DOES Mr. Gompers think about it. One cannot help feeling sympathy for the great labor leader who has been so deluded. It is hard to tell whether it was personal ambition or really love of union labor that lead Mr. Gompers to make the mistake that he did. Not even Mr. Bryan is so completely discredited as is Mr. Gompers. Early in the campaign The Times pointed out that the laboring man was not to be lead around with a ring in his nose and that he had brains enough to do his own thinking. ' Had Mr. Gompers frantic effort to dray labor into politics not ended in fiasco, the American Federation would have had cause for deep resentment against the man who misled it. Fortunately for its members and not for him the good sense and self-respect of its members saved the organization from disaster.
In the face of warnings from his own experienced colleagues Gompers tried to make a political Moses out of himself. No host followed him. Mr. Bryan himself was deluded by Mr. Gompers. " The American workingman showed as he always has shown not only that he is capable of forming opinions of his own, but that he is determined to exercise his own reasoning faculties. More honor to him. The American Federation will increase in usefulness after this lesson and Mr. Gompers, whether he Is re-elected or not, will see the folly of trying to drag union labor, that great respected assembly of toilers, into the turmoil of politics.

This position he held until four years ago when he became the British ambassador to the court of Italy. Sir Edwin In 1885 married the daughter of Prince Nicholas Lobanow Rostowskl.
RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
POPULIST TOM WATSON of Georgia, seems to be entitled to the most profound condolences of any of the presidential candidates. Receiving no votes to speak of, that is gentle treatment compared with the social ostracism which he says he has undergone at the hands of his fellow citizens down in Georgia who have even refused to recognize him, returning his salutation with his stony stare. They still take their politics vrey seriously down in Dixie, almost as much as they do in Lake county. We sympathize with the pathetic statement he has made as to the personal indignities and sufferings he has undergone for daring to challenge the dominant party's rifle. Poor Tom. REJOICING AT BINGHAM'S DEFEAT. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL of satisfaction in Hammond over the de
feat of James Bingham, the republican candidate for attorney general, and there are several members of the Lake County Bar association who would
go away and celebrate if business wasn't so pressing.
Perhaps a little history will explain this. It is generally known over the state that James Bingham is Governor Hanly' s right hand man and it
is said on good authority that Bingham was more responsible for the calling
of the special session than any other one man with the exception of the
chief executive himself. The republicans here recognized that fact and a glance at the tabulated returns shows that Bingham was subjected to a slashing right and left. This was due to the fact that he was recognized as an exponent of Hanlyism. Bingham was one of the state candidates to
be defeated and those who resent the dictatorial Hanly are generally re
joicing over the fact. IS T. TAGGART AFTER IT ?
THE BRIGHT AND SMILING face of our friend, T. Taggart, is brighter
ill an ever as they mention him for senator. There are worse men than T,
Taggart, and we look for him to make some of those other democrats hump
yet. Of course, the republicans won t have a word to say about the In
diana democratic senatorship, but while they are standing by looking on
they fortunately have a right to express their opinion, and it is safe to say that opinion is, "Watch Tom's Smoke." He is the kingpin of Indiana
democracy.
THIS IS MY 4TH BIRTHDAY". Henry Grter Bryant. Henry Grier Brant, noted as a trav
eler and explorer, was born in Alle
gheny, Fa., Nov. 7. 1859. After a three years' course at Phillips' Exeter academy he went to Princeton college and was graduated from that institution
in 1883. Subsequently he studied law
at the University of Pennsylvania. With a natural taste for travel he made extensive tours of the North American
continent, evisitine especially thos
places that were off the ordinary routes of travel. In 1891 he visited and explored the Grand Falls of Lab
rador. The following year he was sec
ond in command of the expedition sent
to the Arctic region for the relief of
Lieutenant Peary. In 1894 he commanded the Peary auxiliary expedition
to the far north. In 1897 Mr. Bryant
headed an exploring expedition to Mt.
St. Elias. In recognition of his work
as an explorer and scientist Mr. Bryant has been honored with membership In
the leading geographical and other
scientific societies in Europe.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 7. Many events of interest are on the calendar for the coming week to share public attention with the aftermath of election news. Both at home and abroad there will be a variety of happenings of
interest and importance.
At Quincy, Mass., will take place Tuesday the launching of the North Da
kota, the first United States 20,000-ton, all-blg-gun battleship of the Dreadnought type. The christening ceremony will be performed by Miss Benton of Fargo and the state after which the big ship takes its name, will be further represented by a distinguished delegation headed by Governor John Burke. The formal opening of the social season in New York will be marked Monday night by two important events, the opening of the annual horse show in Madison Square Garden and the inauguration of the Feeond season of grand opera at the Manhattan opera house. Men of national prominence will speak. at the unvcaling Saturday of tn Prison Ship Martyrs' monument, erected in Fort Greene Park. Brooklyn. The ceremonies have been planned on an elaborate scale and the event is likely to be one of the most notable celebrations of its kind in the history of Greater New York. . The national monetary commission appointed at the last session of congress to devise plans for currency legislation is to resume its sessions in Washington Tuesday. On the same day there will meet here an army board appointed to make selections for detail of officers to lill vacanios occurring in the personnel of the general staff. At present there are three vacancies, and seven more will occur next year. Tlie king's birthday and Thanksgiving Day will b; generally observed Monday throughout the Dominion of Canada. The special grand military maneuvers of the Japanese army will begin Tuesday and last four days. The operations of the troops have been planned on an unusually extensive scale and will cover tif five provinces of Klnai. According to the latest despatches from Tfheran the assembly and senate of Persia will convene next Saturday. The proceedings will attract international attention owing to the, present disturbed conditions in theShah's dominions.
Of more direct interest to American readers will-hp the flections in Cuba'
next Saturday for president and members of congress. It is quite gpnerally predicted that General Jose Miguel Gomez, who has been nominated by both factions of the liberal party, will be elected to th presidency. He has for the first time the united support of his party, and his policies and personality are popular. Owing to the active participation of President Samuel Gompers in the recent rational election considerable public interest will attach to the proceedings of the annual convention of the American Federation of I.abor In Denver, beginning Monday. Other important conventions of the week will be those of the National Prison association in Richmond. Va., the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, in Atlanta; the Farmers' National Union in New Orleans, the National Grange. Patrons of Husbandry, in Washington, the national convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Atlanta, and the Southern Cotton association In Memphis.

Practically anyone can make -good bread in small quantities, but all with few exceptions fall down when they attempt to make it on a wholesale scale. But F. C.
