LET HIM TELL IT TO THE GRAND JURY. The grand Jury now in session at Crown Point will not have completed" its labors until It SUBPOENAS THE EDITOR OF A CERTAIN PAPER PUBLISHED IN GARY and generally accepted as the personal organ of Thomas E. Knotts, and finds out what HE KNOWS ABOUT THE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF LAW BY THE SALOONKEEPERS OF CROWN POINT. Repeated statements have been made by the paper aforementioned that these saloons are violating the law. As Crown Point has long prided Itself on the fact that its saloonkeepers observe the Nicholson law faithfully THE STATEMENTS MADE BY KNOTTS and his organ, that they are violating the law should be fully Investigated and these persons should be given a chance to prove their stories before the grand jury. May be that they have secret information as to the Crown Point saloons. If they have the grand jury should know it. We believe that Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald and his assistant, O. J. Bruce, who lives in Crown Point, SHOULD ISSUE THE SUBPOENA RIGHT AWAY.
LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT. Governor Marshall in his address at Gary Monday evening gave the followjng ingenious explanation of his attitude on local self-government: , "I believe in the doctrine of local- self-government. But local selfgovernment does not mean lack of government. It has been my intention not to interfere with the management of municipal affairs in Lake county, Just as it has been my intention; not to interfere with the afflars of any county unless some complaint should come to me that the law was not being enforced" ' . ' - ' ' Very good, governor, very good, indeed. So very good in fact that you will no . where find . a republican so hidebound as to . ask anything better. Upon the whole, governor, whenIt comes right down to shoe laces and brass tacks you're not such a bad republican yourself except on the subject of the tariff. You're dead 'wrong there on theory, but there is a lingering 'fcplief that if it were ever put up . to you in practice you would be -found

Unde Walt - y The Poet Philosopher
The gossips said that Mark Twain was dying, as once before they haa him dead; it beats all how they have been trying to put a halo on his head. Mark Twaln,'that blithe and genial spirit, fears not the sunless river's flow; and when he thinks he's drawing near It he won't forget to let us know. The triumphs of savants and sages seem vain and profitless as chaff; they filled with lore their turgid pages, but Mark has made the nations laugh. A king creates a knight at pleasure, or kills a courtier with a frown, and thinks historians will measure all mortal greatness by his crown. Far greater than a monarch's sceptre the wand that Mark has waved so long; summons laughter, and has kept her dispensing happiness and song. It drives from weary hearts the sorrow, it banishes the base and mean; it gives us strength to meet the morrow with hearts courageous and serene. Long may he live, and long be funnyl And when he does decide to move, the world he leaves will be less sunny, the world he goes to will improve. V; WALT MASON.

- WHICH WAY WILL HE COME? There are a good many people in the country who believe that Theodore Roosevelt will be a candidate for the presidency next term. Seth Gibler, for Instance, was in the office the other day and when the subject arose in conversation, declared his abandonment of all his political creeds and isms In such an event and his hearty- support of the strenuous hunterstatesman. And there are a. whole lot of people In Will county like Mr. Gibler. There are many who believe that the PInchot-Ballinger affair has been seized upon, emphasized and exploited with the idea of getting Mr. Roosevelt to enter the race and there have been numerous collateral matters that seem to indicate that this may be true. , . There ia now on his way to Africa, a special ambassador. If such he can be called an influential Pacific coast republican, who bears to the dark continent a message inviting Mr. Roosevelt to return by way of San Francisco instead of New York.
Of course, if the former president' lands at San Francisco, he will not state that he is a candidate, but it is safe to say that his assertion that he
Is just a private citizen, on his way home, will be discounted by events,
His friends, doubtless, will give him a tremendous reception and arrange for a continuous performance of ovation until he gets home. He will en
counter all across the country a double-breasted lin3 of emotional ad
mirers, three thousand miles long, yelling themselves hoarse and burning all
the red fire that can be manufactured after the announcement, of the trip
is made.
Until President Roosevelt announces whether he will reach the United
States by way of San Francisco or New York, there will be considerable
doubt as to his future Intentions. When he announces his routs there will
be little question. - ' .
If he comes by San Francisco, it will be taken that he is a candidate for the Dresidencv: should he come by New York, that he is not. Joliet

BUILD MORE HOUSES
The establishment of another interurban line in Gary goes to emphasize
almost more than it does any other fact the necessity of building more homes in Gary for the workingmen. The operation of cars with frequent service between Hammond and Gary means that a large number of men employed in Gary, and unable to secure residence at a reasonable rate, will look else
where for homes if they can-depend upon their transportation between their
home and place of employment.
If these men are to benefit Gary as they Bhould, they must be kept in Gary, and spend their money where they earn it. Other cities will offer an
Inviting field for many of them to locate where rent is reasonable, and the merchants are active and up-to-date, and once located out of the city they will form acquaintances, become attached to their surroundings and be hard to root out and brought back to this Gary. Before transportation to outlying districts becomes still more alluring, it is up to Gary to devise a means at once of keeping the working men within their borders.
