THE TROUBLES OF AN LNTERURBAN COMPANY.
The troubles of the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Interurban railroad seem to be never-ending. Yesterday, at Indianapolis, a temporary restraining order was granted to the Pennsylvania railroad preventing the interurban railroad company from crossing its tracks. The Pennsylvania road evidently sees' a chanoe to- bullyrag its- little competitor for business
and annoy it as much as possible. The Tolleston town board encouraged
the interurban comp? to its effort to get into the town by granting it a
miwu uao wkumuu ituu uuw uib uuuns nave given tne aoutn tsena company another" set-back. It i3 hoped, however,- that this- will only be tern
porary. The Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend interurban company is
deserving of every possible encouragement for it has kept faith with the people of Lake -county and the various municipalities through which it
passes from Its very inception. It haa met with several uundeserved rebuffs which it has valiantly overcome. The city officials of Hammond are to be eongratulatetd on the stand they took, for they have given the road
every encouragement and refused to get obstacles in its path. It may be
pointed out in return to that the interurban company has been rather bacliward in giving Hammond an intarurban depot This the city needs badly
and tne officials of the company can show their appreciation for the favors
they have been handed by the Hammond city fathers by putting up the stan tion right away. OFF AGAIN-ON AGAIN NEW. Burt New, one of the democratic state aendidates for office, who was to
Btrumental in helping to bring the election contest for the purpose of trying to oust bis regularly elected republican opponent, is doing the "off agin, on
agm , act. Mr. isew said at first that he would contest, then he said he
wouldn't, now he says that he will. Fainthearted Mr. New has evidently
Deen bolstered up by his companions in the fray. They want him to stick even if only for the moral effect and it would be interesting to have heard
just what the other contesting democrats said to New when he flunked.
In the meantime the contest at Crown Point goes merrily on. The patient justices who are hearing the evidence, are yawning while the lawyers do
tneir yammering. Even Mr. Blodgett, the staff correspondent , of the democratic Indianapolis News says in his dispatch that the democrats have sinned
as well as the repupblicans and this is quite an admission for the Marshall organ to make. And there you are! ANOTHER FUNNY CONTEST. Indiana is not the only state that is having troubles over the senatorship. A peculiar situation has developed in Missouri in regard to the United States senatorship. Senator William J. Stone is the democratic candidate for re-election and his party has a present majority in the legislature of seven votes on joint ballot The republican managers have announced that ten contests will be filed when the legislature meets. If four of these contests are decided adversely to the democrats the political complexion of the legislature will be changed and Lieutenant Governor McKinly, who carried the senatorial primary, probably will succeed Senator Stone. The democrats are having a lot of hard scratching this year. MR. ROCKEFELLER is quotted aa saying that we live too rapidly. Suffering oil cans! . Rapidly as the ordinary individual can beat it, It is mighty hard to keep up with the tail end of the procession that is passing out any rebates. THERE ARE SOME people who 'think so much of Mr. Roosevelt that they refused to do their Christmas shopping early because he didn't say anything about it in his message. A SOCIETY FADDIST has a tew one. He carries a string of beads and when he comes across a bore he starts counting them. Probably puts
in a. great part oi tne ume aoging mirrors. OF COURSE, if the TIMES published any "advance rumors" in regard to the local police department, the holier-than-thou sheet would hold up its hands in horror. A LEARNED PROFESSOR says T has discovered an ape that talks He will please not specify. It might be embarrassing to him. THE ANNIS-HAINS trial promises to waste almost as much white paper as the Thaw trial.
COURTESY AND CASH. Can a youos man succeed In business without cash capital? Yes. One young news dealer in New York city is getting rich on a capital of PERSONAL COURTESY. Where the tida of surging humanity rises highest on Broadway, near Trinity church, he keeps a successful newsstand. His father came over in the steerage a few years ago. The son left Bchool early to heip support the family. He is a keen merchant. This young man keeps a full stock of newspapers and periodicals and turns his cash ertry day a possibility of profit shown by a news dealer in Carlisle, Pa., who died recently worth $100,000. All sorts of people, millionaires as well as mechanics, buy of the young dealer. And always, even though the purchase be of 1 cent always there 13 the sincere "Thank you." He makes every sale, however small, a dignified business transaction. Ha is never too busy to be polite and attentive. And his open, frank courtesy makes one want to do more business with him. . His stand is in close touch with Wall street, and the brokers buy of him, but he gives Just as much attention to the poor woman who buys a penny paper as he gives to Pierpont Morgan. ne is a gentleman and an American citizen who is engaged in an honest business. There Ib no snobbishness in him.. He treats all alike. Around his newsstand there converges perhaps more utter selfishness, more hardness of greed, more recklessness of hurry, than in any other locality in the world. And there he stands in vivid con
trast with all this forgetfulness ofi
numane things. He is never too much In a hurry to be urbane and kind and
gracious.
That is one reason why hundreds patronize him day after day. It is the instinctive hunger for kindness and
courtesy.
The lesson to those who contemplate
a Dusiness career or to those engaged
in Dusiness is plain: Courtesy costs nothing. But it yields bis dividends.
Combined with character, it forms the greatest capital known to the busi
ness world.

But she reached this sad conclusion: 'I don't see what I want I'll look around.' "Here's a very lovely trinket. But, my dear, I hardly think it Really suitable for Katy,' then she frowned. No, I guess I will not take it. For the dear child's apt to break it;
" lsi i wnat l want I II look around.' Do you wonder that I am leary Of these shopping tours, and weary? Do you wonder that my teeth I've madly ground? When I thought she'd buy a present She remarked in manner pleasant, "No, it isn't what I want I'll look around.' "

Fifteen different municipalities of Alsace-Lorraine, ranging in population from five thousand to 175,000, conduct employment bureaus which aim to keep in close touch with the various organizations of employers and employed, with a view of supplying the needs of both.

There is little doubt that Willis C. Brown, tbe senior vice prt-Mident of th Sew York Central lines, will succeed William H. Sewman as president oi Ihis important system. . Mr. Brown is remembered by many people in Hammond and Gibson as the man who made sueh a splendid speeeh at the Gibson Y. M. C. . a few months a. Hi letter in the TIMES regarding the political situation from a railroad man's point of view attracted attention all over the region. It was known in railway circles that when Mr. Brown was taken from Chicago over two years ago and brought to New York as senior vice president that he was being placed in training for the presidency. He was given charge of all departments, and since then Mr. Xewmau has been gradually preparing for laying down the reins, presumably for Mr. Brown to take up. In the event of Mr. Brown's becoming president it is understood that C. K. SchnfT, who took Mr. Brown's place as vlee president in Chicago, will be made senior vice pres. tdent at New York.
