If Governor-elect Thomas Marshall and the coming session of the legislature will -wipe out the metropolitan police law, there will be general rejoicing in a number of Indiana cities that during the administration of Gover
nor Hanly have, frankly speaking, been harassed with the law. There are some good features in connection with the statute but there is one paramount evil one that has been hard to swallow and absolutely indigestible when it was swallowed. Hammond fceople have been sick and tired of being screwed down under Governor Hanly's thumb and squirming whenever he pressed it down. Hammond Is one of the cleanest cities in the United States and there is absolutely no reason why it should be ruled through a telephone receiver or by a telegram from Indianapolis. Hammond can keep its morals clean and hold up Its head without any assistance from Hanly.. In connection with the desired repeal of the metropolitan police law, it is pertinent to see what Governor Hughes of New York says on the subject : "1 hope the time will come, and I believe some day it will come, when , we shall not attempt to prescribe the petty details of government for our different communities. I hope the time will come when we shall give them in a charter the general rules' which will assure the maintenance of a proper general system of administration and leave them to work out their own salvation and to develop their local citizenship by dealing with their own problems." How could it be expressed any clearer ? But Governor Hanly has no doubt by this time seen the folly of his trying to be a savior to Indiana cities, when he couldn't rule his own Lafayette. NINE OUT OF TEN.
The Marion Star hits the nail squarely on the head in the following: "The next time the Century have a scoop the magnitude of the kaiser
interview, they will probably run it, be the consequences what they may.
At the request of the German government the Century people suppressed its sensational interview with the kaiser in the interest of the peace of nations and the common good of the world. What's the result ? Almost every newspaper on the globe worth the name, those of Germany beiny m possible exceptions, have printed an outline of it, printed in a form doubtless even more objectionable than would have been the interview given aa a whole. It's the same old, old story. Every newspaper in the land has been served the same way. The newspaper gets hold of a good news story and then this interest and then that, comes in and wants it suppressed, giving one reason or another why it should not get into print. Then what happens ? Nine times out of ten, the very parties who seek to suppress the story, will Immediately go out of the newspaper office and tell the story themselves." SPEED THE GARY-CROWN POINT ROAD.
FIRST TRIP TO THE CITY. That was a long time ago. Down at Libertyville the sun sometimes seemed to stand -stllL The community gait was easy going. Everybody worked; nobody hustled. Everybody knew everybody. Grown men went; barefoot on occasion. Libertyville was slow. "When you got off the cars in the big city the atmosphere of . Libertyville was yet about you.
My, how people raced! Surely they were going to a fire. Would the pro
cession never pass by? They do not
sprint that way down at Libertyville.
Then how knowing you got. You
would hide your verdancy. Meantime,
poor boy, every motion, your garments, your gait, gave you away. Even your speech betrayed you. Before you took two steps you were spotted as country
bred.
you couldn't keep the wonder out of your eyes; you couldn't even keep your mouth closed. It was not Sunday, yet
everybody was dressed up! Your feet
had known nothing but country roads. Here everywhere you went the pave
ments covered the whole roadway.
You "rubbered" at the tall buildings.
Here was a new sky line. Down at
Libertyville Jones & Co.'s "trade em
porlum" the pride of the town was
only two stories, wltn the opera
house" upstairs. Here were great plate
glass windows, big as the front of
Sim's barn. And street cars! Oh, it was all gloriously new!
Why, here's the place where father's Tribune Is printed. There's a truck
load of soda boxes same as in moth
er's pantry which makes you a mite
homesick. Not a soul knows you.
And the boys of your age here are
some of them, just out of knee breeches, trading on the curb near the
board of trade and talking an un
known jargon. What a gulf between
these smart chaps and you!
And the swinging bridges and the
lake craft and all the marvels that
made Libertyville a speck! That was long ago.
Now the city ways sit easily upon
you. At Libertyville you would have
followed a brass band for half a day
Here you do not even go to the window
when the military band crashes by.
Brick walls and stone pavements and
elevators and a stuffy office and a desk
plied high seldom is it quite cleared up are you really of the same soul
stuff as that illusioned, lonesome, tow headed lad? . And yetHow your tired spirit goes back to the dear days of Libertyville, where the folks were all "so happy and so poor!"

POLITICS
THE CREAM OF THE
orning News
The optimism of the people of Crown Point anent the proposed Crown Point-Gary interurban railroad, manifests a good deal of significance. The desire of the county seat to get interurban connections with the north part of Lake county shows how deep it realizes the benefits that will accrue as well as the necessity for it. The road must come in time and the willingness of the business men of Crown Point to get electric connection with Gary is worthy of a reciprocal feeling on Gary's part. It behooves the officials of the steel city to lend a helping hand and do everything in their power to faciliate the venture. It must come in the near future, and to take time by the forelock and rush the project, is certainly no mistake. If the promoters of the road are acting in good faith, and there seems to be no visible reason to doubt their sincerity and faith, let the good work go on. A FEATHER IN the cap of the St. Andrews society of Gary ! All power to it ! The canny Scott is a valuable asset of this land. The quaintness of his dialect, his thrift and dry humor are to be welcomed. The strain of his blood is helping to make America the grandest nation in the world. We reiterate: More power to the St. Andrews society! THE UNOFFICIAL NEWS that new postmasters are to be appointed in East Chicago and Whiting shows that Congressman E. D. Crumpaclrer has parted with two more troubles that have harassed him for some time. The selections he has made are wise ones and the people of the two citiej are giving him the proper credit.
GIVE BATUNG NELSON credit ! He certainly deserves it. If our little
neighbors, Hegewisch and Burnham, had more men of hi3 indomitable spirit and tenacity of purpose, they would be all the better for it. His seeking to improve his native city is praiseworthy 1n the extreme. It needs it badly enough. .

Vienna, Dec 2. Sixty years an emperor! Such is the extremely uncommon
record achieved by Emperor Francis Jo seph, who was called to the throne of the dual monarchy just sixty years ago today, in the midst of the storm and ' tumult occasioned by the revolution of 1848. In observance of the anniversary,
the capital was today a mass of flags and bunting, and in windows everywhere:
were displayed pictures of the aged emperor, beloved by all his subjects and
respected by all the world. Services of thanksgiving were held In all the churches and the day was observed as a general holiday. During the past summer elaborate pageants and other spectacular features were held in celebra
tion of the emperor's jubilee. The observance of the actual anniversary today was confined principally to the presentation of formal addresses of congratu
lation in behalf of the army and the various departments of the government.
the foreign diplomats and numerous societies throughout the empire.
The serious illness through which Francis Joseph passed last year sapped
much of his vitality and deprived him of much of that physical vigor which
was regarded as mavelous in a man of his years. Mentally he is as alert and
active as ever. During the recent course of events in the Balkans, which
threatened the peace of Europe, the aged ruler held long daily conferences
with his ministers of state and, as on so many occasions in the past, the results furnished strong evidence of his consumato diplomacy and keen insight of the situation. -
During the sixty years of his lgn Francis Joseph, amidst extraordinary
difficulties, has done more than falls to the lot of most rulers to improve tho condition of his subjects. When In December, 1848, he was somewhat unexpectedly called to his high office he found his realm in a state of indescribable confusion. The policy of his immediate predecessors had been harsh and repressive, and the great revolutionary war of 1848 caused formidable uprisings
in both Austria and Hungary. These -were sternly repressed and drastically punished. The ancient liberties of the Hungarians were curtailed and ultimately abolished. , and Francis Joseph seemed destined to he perpetuated in history as one of the greatest despots of European monarchs. From this bad reputation he was saved by what seemed at the time a series of tragic misfortunes. In a short campaign in 1859 Austria was defeated and forced to content herself with Venltla as her sole foothold in Italy. Then followed the crushing defeat inflicted on her by Prussia in 1866, and her expulsion from the German federation. A man of coarser fibre and more unfeeling nature would probably have been crushed by such a series of nation al humiliations, but they only served to make apparent the statesmanlike qualities of Francis Joseph. From projects of foreign aggression he turned to plans of national betterment. The claims of Hungary began to receive the consideration they deserved. After the dis disaster of 1866 the plan of Deak, the greatest of Hungarian statesmen and jurists, for a federal empire was adopted, and Francis Joseph was crowned anew king of Hungary in 1867. So peculiar a constitution as that of Austria and Hungary called for the exercise of patience, tact, and administrative ability of the highest order, but for forty years he has managed to overcome all difficulties and yet retain a personal popularity which is paralleled only by that of the British king among the crowned heads of Europe. For sixty years has Francis Joseph weathered all stormB, alike of pupbllc anxiety and domestic sorrow, and today he stands out among the world's sovereigns as one of the strongest and most attractive figures.
