do so.

If Mr. Carr were a loyal republican and working in the interest of his

party, he would not be using these questionable and underhanded methods,

to make himself the Poo Hah of Gary. The republicans should study his

methods and ferret out his aims. Mr. Carr cannot hurt any one but him

self. His wings are being clipped.

THE REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE A GOOD START.

The republicans of Gary have already made the preliminary plunge into vision

what is to be for them a remarkable and arduous campaign. The party must

make no mistakes. In sporting parlance, it "holds the edge" already and

there is no reason why it should not have an airtight cinch on the "edge"

until the ballots are counted in November. The wise counselors and leaders of the party must see that clean men are put in charge of the campaign.

Energy is needed and political acumen. The enemy's forces are divided and

at sea.

The republicans have everything their own way, if they do the right thing3 and they must be right. At the beginning of the campaign, these will

be things that can and must be remembered. The TIMES would be recreant to the trust imposed on it, were any other advice to be offered. It will not

do for the republican party to go back. It must press onward all the time

This Week's News Forecast

Washington, D. C Aug. 14. No public engagements are scheduled to

break the Quiet of President Taft's second week at Beverly, though lunch

eons and neighborly calls, with a possible run over to Marblehead to witness the trial sonder boat races for the Taft cup, and daily contests on the superb golf links at Beverly will serve to prevent time from hanging heavily on the hands of the nation's chief executive.

Events of political interest are scheduled for three widely-separated sec

tions of the country. In South Carolina local option elections held simultaneously in twenty-one counties that are now "wet" will determine whether

that state shall be added to the fold of prohibition territory which now embraces nearly all of the southeastern states. A general primary will be held in Nebraska to nominate candidates for tho state offices to be filled at the November election, and in San Francisco, where the political situation has attracted national attention, a primary will be held for the selection of candidates for mayor and other city officials.

The final step looking to the re-organization of the Great Western railroad will be taken in St. Paul Saturday, when the road will bo sold at public auction. The sale will be purely a legal formality incident to the reorganization and rehabilitation of the property according to plans completed by J. P. Morgan & Co.. who will obtain control. A busy and Interesting week is promised at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Wednesday has been designated as German day and Is expected to draw a record-breaking crowd. State days will ze observed In honor of Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Michigan. Foremost among the great gatherings of the week will be the twentieth annal meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, which will open n five days. Many speakers of notesin Denver Monday and remain In sesslo are to be heard and tho congress promises to attract widespread attention. Other conventions of interest and Importance will be those of the American Prison association at Seattle, the National Association of Postmaster at Toledo, the National Fraternal Congress at Boston, the International Fire Chiefs of America at Grand Rapids, and the National Negro Business League at Louisville.

L. A. W. meets, when thousands of cyclists were went to assemble from every section of the country to engage in championship speed contests. The

only difference is that the gathering now holding forth in the Hoosier capi

tal is one of motorcyclists and not bicyclists.

The National meeting of the Federation of American Motorcyclists, having spent several days in disposing of preliminaries, began in earnest yester

day with the" opening of the two days' racing programme. Teams and individual riders were on hand from New York to California in readiness to conest for the trophies and purses offered in the various events. The races are being held on the new speedway, which has just been completed at a cost of many thousands of dollars. The track which is being used for the contests is fifty feet wide on the straightways and sixty on the turns. It is banked to a height of twenty-one feet, the last few feet of the upper part of the track being at an angle that makes it practically an impossibility to ride over it.

ANOTHER WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. It is an all too common story. A minister with a wife and family eloping with one of his girl parishoners. Rev. W. N. Stuckey of Williamsburg, with a wife and two children, eloped yesterday with sixteen year old Grace Sutherland. The police are now trailing the couple. Stuckey, a wolf in sheep's clothing, has given religion another body blow. He has made it harder for people to have faith in the preachments of men. Not that religion is to be sneered at or made light of, because of this preacher's going astray, only some people are forever pointing out the shame and hypocrisy found in the pulpit. These things make it very hard for the inestimable men who on small salaries are living the golden rule and preaching the divine gospel, setting an example to all men by their lives. It is the Stuckeys of the cloth which do more harm to religion than the most blasphemous sot that ever lived.

GARY HASN'T LOST ANYTHING. There will be no tears shed in Gary because the carnival company declines to come in September.

The story that the carnival managers concoct as an excuse that they were afraid of losing money is simon-pure poppy-cock and they know it. The

circus which came to Gary the other day was attended by thousands and made big money. Gary is the biggest drawing card in the state and thousands would have come to the city from all parts of the country to see the carnival. But there need be no wiping of eyes. The company would have taken thousands of dollars out of the city and there are two cities in Lake County, Hammond and Crown Point, that have had carnivals in the past, but never again for them. Gary hasn't lost anything. Few cities have more than one, for a carnival is one of the biggest grafts on the map. They bring all sorts of disreputable characters with them. " i IN THE MEANTIME conditions In the Patch at Gary are little better than they ever were. There are resorts that go on doing business under the kindly protection of Mayor Knotts and his crew. They continue to defy public opinion and by their conduct brand themselves as being the pliant tools of notorious women and those who live from their efforts.
