IMPOSING ON THE DELUDED FOREIGNER.
The business men, officials and cltteens of Hammond have nothing but the severest words of condemnation for the English-speaking leaders of cMVa of tVia Rtanriard steel Car works because of their anarchistic
efforts to incite the poor, deluded foreigners there to deeds of riot and law lessness. ,
'The danger in the situation is only too apparent. The foreigners, hundreds of them, are as sheep led to the slaughter, in the hand3 of these
strike leaders Imported from McKee's Rocks It is an unusual thing to find a Slav or a Hungarian at the car works who understands anything but a
few words of the English language. They have no knowledge of the merits
r Homerita nf tha rmoatlnnft In controversv It is to be doubted whether a
fraction f them even understand what they are fighting for. Certain It Is
that they do not know whether they are in the right or wrong.
Having no sense of proposition; coming from a land where they live
from hand to mouth; Imbued with the idea that officials of law and order
are their mortal enemies; taught by the doctrine of anarchy that therlch are their oppressors, it is small wonder that these Ignorant Slavs look upon
all outside of their particular nationality as their enemies at heart.
There ought to be some way to reach the leaders of this strike and order them out of town. Thev have done enough injury to the city now. If
they are permitted here longer, it doesn't need a great stretch of imagination to figure out what may happen. '
COUNCIL RUNNING WILD.
The Gary city council, afflicted with the dread malady "annexitis" last
night at a special meeting unanimously decided to take Miller within the corporate limits of this city. The only Justification for this act, it would
seem, Is analogous to the grounds upon which Harry Thaw was acquitted of
.murder. Of what service is Miller to Gary, or Gary to Miller?

A NEW YEAR VOW.
I dont go much on glided vows, for I have mads them in the past, and
they are with the bow-wow-wows they were too allfired good to last. And
so I'll make one vow today; I'll simply try to do my best; that vow should
help me on my way, for it embraces all the rest. I'll take the middle of the road, and always do the best I can, and pack along my little load, and try
to be a manly man. A man may end his journey here too poor to buy a de cent shroud, and planted be without a tear of mourning from the worldly
crowd; but when he's in the judgment scale he'll come triumphant from the
test; no man has failed, no man can fail, who always, always does his best.
And though my pathway be obscure, and void of honor and applause, and though the lean wolf of the moor to my cheap doorway nearer draws, I'll keep a stout heart in my breast, and follow up this simple plan: I'll always
do my very best, and try to be a manly man. - WALT MASON.

The crushing of Charles Vickers of Lead ford. 111., under a mass of elate in Francisco mine formed an old coincidence. A few years ago Joe Vickers was caught under a mass of slate and his right leg broken and body badly bruised. " HJs brother, Charles - of Princeton came to visit him and de--cided to take up his brother's work. In the same "room" in the mine he was similarly caught under falling slate and his right leg broken and body badly crushed. Both- are now in bed side by Bide. They will recover. TO SUE STUDENTS, ' Vowing vengeance 'upon the crowd of Indiana university students who have heaped calumny and disgrace upon him, as he avers, Rlckard Peak of Washington, Ind., will enter suit for $10,000 against, half a dozen students who recently "spiked" the freshman and pinned the colors of the Wit a Zeta sorority on him telling him that he was becoming a member of an international organization of which Dr. Starr Jordan was a charter member at the Indiana state institution. LIVE STOCK BURNED. The large barn of Andrew Parson, south of Wabash, was destroyed by nre of unknown . origin early in the da-. Eighty-seven head of live stock, Including five horses, sixteen cattle and sixty, five sheep, were burned, together with a large quantity of hay, grain and other property. The loss is 110,000.
lake front park, outside of the limits of the town would be lost, if the territory were not annexed by Gary. This message from former Town Attorney L...L. Bomberger, who has this case in charge, was the reason, they say, why Miller was annexed. This puts the eouncil In a ridiculous light. - If the condemnation case comes to trial today, as they assert Miller will not have become a part of Gary until the citizens of the latter place have been given the proper time in which to remonstrate. If Miller does -not immediately become a part of Gary, of what assistance will the passage of the ordinance be to the attorney tomorrow ? ' Furthermore, Miller citizens will remonstrate against annexation. The sentiment of the city is as solid against t as those of Tolleston were for the consolidation of those two places. They have organized to fight it, have already held mass meetings for that purpose and the town means business. With the park question out of the way, it leaves the annexation a simple matter of territorial expansion. Already Gary has within its boundaries territory enough to house over half a million people. There would be nothing to prevent swallowing up Miller when that action becomes desireable and its acquisitions beneficial to Gary. At present there is no improved property In Miller which would be of any great tax revenue to the city, it has only BOO population, and the unpopulated district comprises nothing but intermittent hills of sand and brush, and valleys with typhoid-Incubating swamps, of which Gary is already plentifully supplied. Again, it might be said that if it is really necessary t6 annex the" lake
front park site in order to condemn the property that land is contiguous ter
ritory and could alone be taken into the city of Gary. The least that can be
said concerning the annexation is that Gary has been given an over-dose to
effect the cure.

HOW ABOUT THOSE RATES?
Gary now has as well a regulated and organized fire department as can
be found in the northern part of Indiana. Its equipment and fire fighting apparatus are far superior to any of them. Chief of the fire department,
William, Feeley, is one of the best-known fire fighters In the mlddel west.
The Installation of the new fire alarm boxes is another Improvement. Gary's water pressure is sufllcient to throw a stream of water twice the height of any building in Gary. With all these things, why has there been such a long delay in rerating and lowering the insurance rates of the city. For the past year THE TIME3 has repeatedly brought the matter to the state insurance inspector In an effort to bring the matter to an issue. At times reports were sent out saying that inspectors would be sent to Gary and work would be started at once on re-rating the city. Has anything been done? The matter has been put off and delayed from time to time until it seems now that it never will come to an issue. Is it not high time that something was started? Are the business men going to be compelled to pay these abnormal rates for another year? ; Would these not be good question for the Commercial club and the Retail Merchants' association to consider?
JOY OVER COURT'S REVERSAL.
contractors ana Donanolders in Lake county, affected by the gravel road decision in the supreme court, hailed the news of the reversal of the
ruling with a great deal of satisfaction
The scare they got recently was one they have not yet got over and
they are as nervous as the spinster who thought she saw a man under the
bed and found it was something else.
v nue a reversal was generally expected, the number of dissenting
judges showed that it was not assured by any means The decision means
tn&t wors: wnicn.,nas Deen interrupted can go on to completion. The con
tractors have not lost much anyway because it would have been impossible
lor them to have worked their men during the frigid weather.
A DISPATCH say's that the authorities of Indiana university have for
bidden the young women students to witness the performance of "The Girl
From Rector's." The action of the college faculty in, forbidding attendance
on this filthy show by the young women of the college is, indeed, commendable.
A lot of decent people have been lured into theaters to see the bill, not knowing what they were going to see, and it is perfectly rlstt that people
should be apprised of the n&stlnesa, tbay tKas&-tt (tare.
