CREDIT TO SENATOR BEVE RIDGE. Republican County Central Chairman F. R. Schaaf, who returned today from Indianapolis, declares that Senator A. J. Beveridge is delighted with the success of the party at Indianapolis last Tuesday and points out that Senator Beveridge did a great deal toward electing Mayor Shank. The quality of his citiaenehlp and party service is certainly of the highest and the action of the disttagnished t7. S. senator from Indiana, in getting out in a municipal fight and working tooth and toe nail for the election of the republican nominee is such as to warm the cockles of the average republican heart these days, when other so-called republicans come out boldly and without shame to work so that the democrats can win the legislature and Btate next year. That Is simply wfcat it amounts to. All honor to Senator Beveridge for the attitude ho took in working for Mayor-elect Shank of Indianapolis.

TIME TO BEGIN NOW. The beginning of the construction work on the American Bridge brings borne again the necessity for the Immediate construction of more smaller homes in Gary for the workingmen to occupy. The pleihera of employees of the Indiana Steel company who now reside out of the city because of a scarcity of houses Is a thing to be lamented, but if we are to take full advantage of the location of the Bridge company the city must start Immediately to house the workingmen. If the payroll of this company cannot be retained in Gary, the plant for the present good it might accomplish in bringing more money and inhabitants to this city, might almost as well be located In Indiana Harbor or Hammond. Being located nearer these cities that the works of the Indiana Steel company, the cheap rent of the neighboring communities will prove alluring to the men with a limited income, and once established in these places it will be years before all cf them can be dislodged and brought back to Gary.

The construction of cheap houses for the working men would not be an

act of charity on the part of the investor as the investment would be profit

able from the beginning. Big business blocks in the city look good, but

the merchants will not rent these stores, the professional men will not occupy the offices until the payroll la left in this city where it rightfully

belongs.

The time to start building is at once. Dont let these workmen become intrenched in another city. Foresight is scarcely required to see that the

demand for homes will become even greater than before when the new fac torj- is being constructed and that to take full advantage of the new oppor tunity we must keep the payroll at home.

FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITY.

Ma3-or T. E. Knotts, E. C. Simpson and Harry G. Moose, the new elected

city officials were officially sworn in last night and took their seats of office today. The newly elected city council men will be sworn In on Monday. When these officials take their oath of office, they swear that they will perform

their duties according to law and for the best Interests of Gary. We sincerely belfeve they will do all in their power henceforth to promote the best In

terests of the city. The TIMES believes that the citizens of Gary have

learned a lesson. There have been conditions in Gary that can rightfully

exist no longer. Ve must rid the city or these conditions and start on a

new basis. The time has come when sham service i3 on the grill. The old day of querulous helplessness, blustering denial and shameless cynicism has gone by. With forces of government directed against municipal evils, there is every reason for hope and continued endeavor on the part of Gary's new

city officials, and the citizens of Gary must also lend a helping hand. They

must stand by those officials who will fight for better conditions, must advance their standard of service and must steadily demand much in the way

of ability and alertness from those in office. The old indifference of poll tical officials dies hard, but it is doomed if the citizens do their part.

This paper will continue to do all in its power towards directing its best

efforts for the city of Gary. It is ready to lend a helping hand at all times

We believe hence forth that the conditions in Gary will improve, because

Gary can never become a great city until the causes for these conditions

are removed.

In conclusion this paper has a few more words to say. Just as long as the affairs of the municipal government are conducted along the lines they should be, the TIMES will be ready, not alone to boost Gary, but to praise

the deserving city officials as well, on the other hand if conditions warrant

it, this paper will continue to point out the defects and wrongs, as it has

done in the past without fear or favor to any one.

PROGRESS THE WATCHWORD IN HAMMOND.

That Hammond is to have a splendid new four story building costing

thousands, to be erected on the famous flat iron site in the heart of the city

w!l be a source of much satisfaction to lovers of the city. It is the most

prominent spot in the whole city that is not adorned with a fitting building,

When the handsome structure is completed which in itself alone will trans

form the business section of the city of Hammond the people will hardly recognise it. Those who pass through the city on trains will then believe

Hammond to be a real city for the fiatiron corner is easily the most notice

able section of the city now unadorned with a big building. The eagerness

to tear down and build up in Hammond is In keeping with the spirit born this summer for a greater Hammond. The old day of passivity is gone

and we hope it will never return. Let property owners make a few small

sacrifices and spend money they can afford on improving their possessions

and a striking difference will be noted. Let the city do as much and Ham

mond will be so much different that it will be impossible to recognize it in

a few years.

CROLIUS IS GAME ANYWAY.

W. C. Crolius of Gary is up against a hard game. But Mr. Crolius, al

ways more or less a soldier of fortune, is used to hard knocks and can stand

a good deal of that 6ort of thing. It takes a gallant fighter to go In for what

Crolius has been going In for all hie life, since he reached man's estate, and

therefore CroliU3 is game. Ills latest experience, a ride In the Gary patrol wagon, was not the greatest of the indignities ho has been subjected to since hia defeat. The ruffianly mcb which assailed his home the day following the election, epaxizg neither Mr. Crolias nor the members of his household, prob

ably aroused Mr. Crolins' ire more than did the latest outrage committed against him. However If tie employers of such tactics, fancy they can drive out Mr. Crolius from Gary, by these cowardly means, they are considerably isiitaeii.r-lHe4h9 -TIES-is-mietafcan in Mr. CroHns.

ams IS MT 5CTH BIRTHDAY. George A. Harter. George Abram Harter, president of

Delaware college, was born In Lelters-

burg, Md., Nov. 7, 1853, and received his education principally at St. John's college, Anapolls. After his graduation he became an Instructor at Delaware college, Newark, Del., and two years later

he was appointed principal of the Lelt-

ersburg grammar school. In 1881 he

resigned this position, going to Hagerstown to accept a similar one. He remained at Hagerstown until 18S5 when he accepted the position of professor in mathematics and modern languages at Delaware college, becoming in 1886, professor of mathematics and physics. He was elected In 1896 president of the college. Dr. Harter is a member of the Delaware state board of education and is prominent in nu-merous educational and scientific societies.

UP AND DOWN IN I-N-D-I-A-N-A

Ing for fancy clothes led her to com

mit the Illegal act. The Judge fined her $25, which was paid by her father. According to the father's statement, the girl's humiliation might have been averted but for the desire to excel in dress. She wanted to emulate the example of girls whose parents were rich. "My daughter has frequently told me," be said, "that unless she could

be dressed as well as her chums they would not want to associate with her. "My daughter's sad case should be a

warning to other girls of middle circumstances who try to emulate girls whose parents are wealthy." Mr. North says his daughter asked him with tears in her eyes for a new gown for the select party. He felt he could not afford to gratify her. On the impulse of the moment she secured the gown by false pretenses and made the misstep which brought her bitter disgrace and her family deep chagrin. The lesson is not merely for girls. It is for schoolteachers and parents. The public school is or ought to be a pure democracy. Any considerable distinction of the pupils by way of dress defeats the equality and frater

nity of the school and should be frowned upon. Every child should be made to feel entirely at home in the schoolroom. Parents should keep the desire for expensive school clothes out of the heads of their girls. It matters not if the parents are financially able to buy fancy clothes. They are out of place in the schoolroom. BesidesSuch dressing fosters a trait in girls that needs no encouragement. Instinctively they desire to wear pretty clothes, but these need not necessarily be expensive clothes. There is plenty of time further on In their lives for elaborate and costly toilets. Poor Margaret North! Desire for dress, that craving for beautiful things which has ruined the lives of so many women, has made of her an early victim. She has paid her penalty. ; How many youthful hearts have ached and yearned nd suffered hearts of the myriad children of the nnnpl

RECEIVER IS APPOIXTED. In the circuit court at Noblesville Thursday Judge Vestal appointed the Walnwright Trust company receiver for the Arcadia High Pressure Bottle company. The receiver was instructed to sell the plant. The company was incorporated a year ago with a capital stock of $30,000 and built a factory at Arcadia, but never operated It owing to a lack of funds with which to purchase the machinery. The company's Indebtedness is estimated to be $20,000. TO CONTEST THE VOTE. City Clerk William F. Browning of Bloomington. who was defeated for re-election by W. M.
