WHAT MARSHALL SAID OF GARY. There is a shade of visible annoyance ra the remarks credited to Governor Thomas R. Marshall concerning Gary In these columns yesterday. The people of Gary who are conservative in their opinions believe that the chief executive was ill-advised and didn't show the best of judgment when he declared that "he thought sometimes it would be a good thing for the state of Indiana, if Gary should slip off into Lake Michigan." If Gary has caused some concern and annoyance to the governor, that should not be 'a reason for hi3 speaking as he did regarding what will perhaps one day be a great part of the largest city in the state. The governor should remember that Gary is but a child and children make mistakes for which it is unjust to blame them if their environment be taken into consideration. To the passonlate lovers of the municipality of Gary, it would seem as if the governor would be glad if the city were to be the victim of some subterranean

disaster which would destroy It. It is just as if -a father would say of a

healthy, high tempered mischievous child. "Oh, you cause us so much trouble, I wiah you were dead." Up here in this part of the state, we believe

Gary considering what she has had. to fight against, is a marvel and if she has caused the chief executive any trouble and cost the state any sum, the day will surely come when Ehe will amply repay the great commonwealth of Indiana, because she wa3 born and mothered by her. And by the way what did the people of Indiana elect Gov. Marshall for, If he wasn't intended

to help out in the settlement of these various industrial problems that beset U3. If Gary citizens and boosters and workers have gone to the state mansion, from time to time to confer with the governor, they have done so

in a filial way as those who seek help and need advice. Gary is a proud city

She will not take Gov. Marshall's rebuff kindly. When the chief executive

said that (there was such a thing as getting money and property in a way that will not do one any good, he undoubtedly spoke the truth, but Gary is now a part of Indiana. She was conceived out of the state and Indiana cannot discard her. Gov. Marshall should make the best of it and not grow

petulant.

BROADWAY A FINE STREET.

Broadway has a striking appearance for a city of the size of Gary. It Is a street worthy of its name. Bring a stranger into the new steel city and his enthusiasm will reach its climax as he passes down the straight and

broad thoroughfare, 100 feet wide, devoid of the usual wilderness of tele--

graph poles, and clean an tidy in appearance.

Broadway looks like a street and is a source of pride to its citizens.

Lined along on each side for blocks are massive, substantial looking build

ings, architecturally beuatiful and imposing. These buildings are a credit to the street and the street is a credit to the buildings. This is one of the great advantages of the made-to-order city. The foresight of the United

State Steel corporation has guarded against the unsightliness of a squatty structure imposing upon the dignity of a towering edifice adjoining. .They have insured prospective builders against a decreased valuation through the

erection of an uncouth structure beside it.

In fact there is not a building on Broadway that the town is ashamed of

or m fact which would not do credit to any city. And then the stores are

another source of pride. Such a standard has been set by the present merchants that the people will not tolerate a dealer who cannot keep up the pace. The display windows are bright and modern, the fixtures are mostly new and well kept. The stock is up-to-date and well arranged. In a short time the new VtJhting system permanently installed, will make the street a blaze of light, a "Great White Way" as it has been termed and this ought to cap the climax of attractiveness. The people of Gary show their appreciation of Broadway. In the afternoon and evening, the streets are crowded with men, women and children, who take a particular pleasure in shopping, who find the store windows educative and entertaining, they seem to take as much pride in Broadway a If It was a part of their own handiwork, and they have reason to be for it Is a great monument to and a reflection of the progressiveness of the city.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

TOM JOHNSON says that his running for office never bothered him much. Well, the results of his windy stabs at it, show that he is telling the truth.

BETWEEN the farmer and the milk dealer, the consumer is getting it where1' the gobbler gets the rough twist. . ft - "WE are living in an age of feverish uplift," says an exchange. Bet your boots we are, feverish uplift in prices. ' ' ' ' ' RENSSELAER is trying to electrify the world with the news of another champion long distance piano thumperinno. VALPARAISO la still having P. D. P. divorce cases. Don't get this sort tangled up with the P. D. Q. marriage license. - YOU can always prove that a man doesn't know anything by his refusal to keep quiet and insisting on showing himself up.

HIS TWO TEMPTATIONS. Billy Robelon, brakeman on the

Long Island railroad, has two qualities

that go far toward making a human

success namely :

He Is honest and red headed. Billy's quality of honesty keeps him

on the straightway tracks, and his red

headed determination furnishes plenty

of motor power for speed.

The other day he was suddenly con

fronted by two great temptations.

He found a bagful of diamonds.

pearls and cash. The contents of the

bag were worth $30,000. That was temptation No. 1. And this is the way Billy Robelon met It: lie went straight to headquarters and made every effort to dis

cover the owner, who proved to be

Mrs. Schwab of New York, a very wealthy woman. Then the son of Mrs. Schwab did a

fine thing. He gave Billy a bunch of money and offered him a lifetime job

working for Mrs. Schwab at $100 a month. That was temptation No. 2.

This was the situation: Robelon Is twenty-two years old and has a wife and baby- That $100 a month lifetime job looked good to him. It was

more money than he was getting. He

might lose his Job. That was one side of the problem.

He and his wife talked It over. He

wanted to get up In the world all right, but be wanted to get up on merit, by

his own efforts, which is the real heart

of every honest, earnest man's desire.

Robelon refused the job.

Was he wise? In Justice to himself and his family was it right to refuse?

Yes! Back of him were four years of

honest service for his company. He was in the line of promotion. He

would try for the bigger stake.

In that choice Billy Robelon again

showed the stuff of which he is made.

He holds the triple guaranty of suc

cess. He is honest, energetic, ambitious. Some day he will be division super

intendent or maybe trafSc manager and then superintendent or president

of the road. Just as sure as he lives

he will succeed. He has already succeeded!

This is not a Sunday school book

6tory. but a leaf out of the real life, of

a real man.

Since Billy Robelon faced and con

quered his two temptations he has.

been promoted to be conductor.

paper. He took it over to the support of Gladstone's home rule policy, and many readers were lost, with the result that he went back to his former work. Besides creating "Toby. M. P.,"

Sir Henry has written many books on parliament, an intimate study of Mr. Gladstone, and some novels. In the course of his extensive travels he has

found occasion to visit South Africa.

Canada. Australia, the West Indies and

the United States.

LIVELY SESSION EXPECTED. Congress will assemble Monday for the "long session," which probably will run well into the summer. Senators and Representatives who have arrived in town express a determination to take up the work of the session vigorously at the beginning with the hope of having it well advanced before the holidays. The House is already organized by the election of Speaker and officers at the extra session, and the appointment of committees, so there will be no excuse for that'body not getting down to business at once. The appropriation bills are to be given the right of way at both ends of the capitol and pressed through with all possible haste. The appropriations committee of the House have been at work for more than a week. When the

appropriations bills have been disposed of, Congress will turn its attention to more interesting if not more important measures. There will be plenty to

engage attention. Every important committee of the House has a calendar full of bills, introduced in the extra session, and a flood of new measures, cooked up by ambitious members during the recess, is expected at the outset. Here are some of the things Congress will find ready at hand to work on. Sweeping changes in the railway laws, giving added power to the Interstate Commerce Commission. An amendment to the Sherman anti-trust act exempting labor unions from penalties for combination. Subventions for the upbuilding of the merchant marine and extension of the ocean mail service. ' Authorization to railroads to pool under strict supervision of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Legislation regulating the boycott and the issuance of injunctions against labor organizations. Internal waterway Improvements, according to the policy outlined by the President in his recent addresses la the South and West. A proposal to reduce the present tax on oleomargarine. An investigation of the sugar trust sjcandal will be proposed, and may or may not be undertaken.

FUNNY THING is politics. Here is Col. Bryan coming out for county option, the thing that beat James E. Watson in the last campaign. Feel sorry for you, Bill.

THE raisin crop is said to be poor

THE worst cf it all is that no sooner do we get over the Thanksgiving hash diet, than Christmas comes around with its hash prospects. GOV. MARSHALL is having his worries over the blind tiger situation at Gary, but the eity is not going to slip off into the Lake just the same.
