that there was a president. But he has been almost as strenuous as the

Lake County mayoralty candidates. And his strenuosity means something

eventually for the Calumet region, as remote as the likelihood of it seems.

"Waterways;" that is the word. Mr. Taft, as near aa we can recollect from cursory glances at the despatches, is cruising around in the warm waters of the lower Mississippi, or among the jetties of the Gulf of Mexico, talking

about and thinking about that glad time when the Calumet river will be a part of a mighty system of deep waterways, leading into the big drainage canal and thence into the Mississippi, that is, maybe he is. In any event whether he has ever heard of the Calumet river or not, that Is what it means

for the Calumet region, this trip of President Taft's. And what a lot of work there will be on hand for the president when he gets back to Washington! Almost as much as there is for the people of this region, when the election is over, and they fall to on the- accumulations which have been piling up since the campaign became hot.

"ALL'S WELL WITH THE WORLD!" Come on now, you Gary! Begin to school your minds to forget about the campaign and the election. Think about the American Bridge company and a few of the other new industries that are about to locate in your midst, and prepare yourselves for an era of prosperity beside which anything the past has had to offer In the way of prosperity, will look like a near panic. The outlook is certainly good for such a condition, and with Brennan in the mayor's chair, the prospects are brighter than ever. But cut out the election altogether. Let us think of nothing but business after we have cast our vote. We will need all our wits about us, to take advantage of every bright and 6hlnlng moment, that the present dawning era of prosperity affords.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS

TIME TO FORGET ABOUT IT NOW.

Politics, next to religion, has probably made more enemies than any other one cause. The present dry campaign, in Hammond, East Chicago and

Gary, has engendered ' its share of bitterness even more than its share,

judging from past standards, and the sooner the wounds and the scars re

suiting from it, are healed the better. Of coarse it Js easier for the theorizer,

or the philosopher to gay, "put your feelings in your pockets," than it is for the victims of those feelings to do so. The bitterness is there and it will tske a certain length of time to ontwear-it. But with the right spirit, it is not going to take a lrfe time. People in email communities, take their politics more seriously, than do those In large- cities. The smaller the town, the more incurable the political rounds. And It is usually the cltteens 'who are not deep in the game, who take It tho most seriously. Big politicians seldom cherish a real hatred, but for a very fsw of tSelr political enemies. And if they do, they button it up ia their coats. They realize that its all in the game, and they expect to be roasted, viillfied and even ridiculed. These things seldom make a lasting Impression on the minds of the real politicians. Your smooth statesman Is the man who rises above small dislikes, and personal prejudices. He is the man who can meet with a smiling face his worst enemy, and shake hands v4th him after the battle-even if he is defeated. In other words the big politician is game. But the citizen, who has taken his cause to heart and who has worked for it and become involved in arguments concerning it, he it is who finds it tho hardest to forget, and he it is who cherishes and displays resentment long

after the game, defeated candidate, has shaken hands with his successful rival and forgiven him (at least apparently) for his victory. The really dyed-ln-the-wool politician, while hi3 defeat may arouse his fighting blood, and causa him to determine more Irrevocably than ever to win next time, is too smooth to show his chagrin, and is liable, before much time has elapsed, to make a friend of his enemy, if by no other means than his manly, dignified acceptance of his "defeat. The good politician is made up of two things, executive ability and smoothness. Let the voters in cities of the Calumet region now make up their minds, that whichever way the elections go, they will not bear malice toward their enemies. Tonight the fate of the rival candidates will be known. And from the moment they are known, let the voters and the politicians, set their minds toward healing the wounds that have been caused by "the late unpleasantness." Let them accept with a good grace the men whom the voters put into office, and set their minds upon business. It is necessary for some work to be done now. Too much time has been frittered away, in discussing the situation, and it is time to get down to hard work, exactly as though there had never been a campaign. . A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO DICK SCHAAF. Whether Dick Schaaf wins or loses his battle today, will not mean so much to him in future as it will to know that Hammond regards him as a

man in whom it has confidence and loves. This was demonstrated last night at the magnificent ovation that was given him. It swells the hearts of his loyal friends with prido to know that he could draw out such a great crowd in face of the elements for it certainly was a miserable night for a political gathering. When Mr. Schaaf concluded his arguments which were straight from the shoulder and delivered in a forceful, logical and convincing manner, he was met with a storm of applause. That he had the vast audience with him was beautifully demonstrated. That Dick enjoys unprecedented popularity and has a hold on the people that few other men in Hammond enjoys, was at least proved to the satisfaction of his friends. It was a testimonial of w-hich he may be proud and those who were there will never forget it.

LET US ALL TRY TO FORGET IT. The election is nearly over. The polls will close at C o'clock. Who ever Is elected, Gary is destined to be a great city. The past election will at all events have a great, moral lesson. It ought to show conclusively that Gary in order to rrogress must be clean. It must have honest city officials. There is no other way. The campaign lias been very bitter and the election likewise has been bitter Tho result will be that there will be many bitter things to remember. But this is not the true spirit We must all be forgiving and work for he common end. We are all here for one purpose and that is to work for the success and progress of this great city. Let us all be friends again. Gary has many great problems to work out after today. We can not achieve any greatness unless we are united In the effort. Campaigns must corno and elections must come. It is the natural course of events. After it is all over, what is there really to it. We must be men again. Sooth our ruffled minds and got out and work for the common good. Lets all get into the band wagon. Let there be no strasglers and with one united shout, a better and greater Gary.

ALSO enter the chestnut. THE "Hessians" were very busy. A THIS is the politicians Hallowe'en. 4 NOW be a busy bee, instead of a busy body. 4 Yes, dearest, we shall now proceed to slough politics. eft IT certainly was a whirlwind finish. Can't dispute that. AND it was the open season for the straw vote as well. WE are now all waiting at the church, waiting for the news. THE man who crawls in his shell never hasn't any room to laugh. NOW you will have to do something

towards filling up the coal bin. . THE war is over, naught remains

but to bring in the political dead. THE football fan may possibly have a chance now for his white alley. 4 THE man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor but not how to return one. 1 DON'T forget that you have a wife and children, if you start out to celebrate tonight. a SEASON of pressing engagements is also here. Pressing leaves and pressing pants. TIME of year for the canned pumpkin pie. What has become of the old fashioned kind?

EARTHQUAKE shock in California will be along here about 12 o'clock tonight, probably. THE meeting of Taft and Diaz cost $70,000. Well, what do we care for expense, wasn't it worth it?

A SOUTHSIDE man says that his boarding house isn't much on menu, but it ia the dickens on scandal. 4 a SAID to be a great, dust kicked up and obscuring Mars. Perhaps they are having a lot of city elections there. Zl WE would counsel the use of the hook worm remedy to a few who don't seem to be able to get over it at all.

PRINCE ITO was shot with a dumdum bullet dipped in cyanide. We trust the Japs have a monopoly on that sort of horror.

A WORTHY PRIDE. Are you proud? You should be. But you should be proud In the proi-

er way and of the proper things.

What is finer, for instance, than tbe

pride that scorns to do a mean act, tbe pride that will not stoop to conquer, or the. pride that will not "crook th pregnant hinges of tbe knee that thrift

may follow fawning," or the pride that will not permit a kind act to go unaccompanied by gratitude? But there is also a false pride. There is the pride that nils the foolish with tbe desire to keep an establishment beyond his means, the pride that leads to extravagance in order to keep up with his neighbors, the pride that leads him to the enjoyment of luxuries he cannot afford. That sort of pride "goeth before a fall." And there is the pride that makes the unwise person ashamed of the honest labor by which he makes his bread. Such a one is ashamed of the very thing in which he ought to take the greatest pride. To work for one's living, to pay one's debts, to live within one's income what more worthy? Did you ever know a man who was truly self made who was ashamed of the fact? It is the last thing he cares to conceal. True pride is self respect plus. If you are rightly proud you will live in a shack and subsist on beans rather than be supported by charity. If you are justly proud you will prefer the humblest place rather than to make a show at the expense of your creditors whom it would be necessary for you to dodge. If you are righteously proud you will wear old garments many times cleaned rather than affect rich raiment bought with other people's money.

What if some one does scorn your

plain clothing or humble home? Scorn to be scorned by one whom I scorn Ia that a matter to make me fret? 13 that a matter to cause regret?

Honest pride in oneself, in one's

work, in one's reputation that is worth while. Be proud of yourself.

But make yourself worthy of your

pride.

Be proud of your work, your charac

ter, your ambitions.

But make your character, your work.

your ambitions, worthy of yourself.

"THIS IS MY 43HD BIRTH I) A Y." Frederick W. HinlK. Frederick William Uinitt, who occupies a prominent place among American educators, wag born in Kidderminster, England, Nov. 2. 18 6.

HARBOR COMMERCIAL CLUB'S BANQUET. The Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago is planning on a house-warming, Nov. 13, which will discount enything of the kind ever held in Indiana Harbor. Of course there will be a banquet, and as Indiana Harbor men of affairs know a thing or two about matters of this kind, it is safe to say that it will be a banquet distinctly up-to-date and corame il faut in every particular. Some of the most distinguished men of the state have been asked to attend and deliver speeches for the event, and It will be quite in keeping for the new club to spread itself on such a felicitous occasion. The Twin Cities are to be congratulated on their new organization, which has fitted up its rooms in its new building in elegant fashion. The members soeni to enter Into the spirit of their organization with the proper gusto, and ther can be little doubt that the club will be of distinct benefit to the community in which it has come to be recognized as such an important factor. Other cities in this region should emulate Indiana Harbor and East Chicago in their progressive spirit. , WE CAN LOOK AFTER MR. TAFT NOW.
