INTO ONE GREAT MELTING POT.

Tha assimilation of the large proportion of foreigners In Gary, bringing about a mental and moral uplift Is a psychological question worthy of pro

found thought and possibly of organised effort on the part of "the other half of this city who hare been more fortunate. So long as this region remains

as a center of industrial activity this problem must be contended with, and

looking at it from a humanitarian trtanfl point from a nobler view of life

this apparent burden upon the American populace can be made a means towards the accomplishment of an infinite good in the deration of the more

undeveloped type of man.

In furthering this idea it is essential that the attitude of the community regarding the foreign element should be broader-minded, seeing them as men and women, human beings that are to be pitied perhaps and helped rather than scorned and ignored as a mere mechanism in the industrial development of this community. Upon a close observation, many persons with an ancient

and unfounded prejudice, would be surprised to find in them many qualities

of merit and undeveloped ability.

Of the men who have migrated to this country they have one quality in common that of ambition. The desire to better themselves is what led them to leave their homes, their friends and relatives and their country, everything

that is dear to them that they might cast their lot In greener fields where

patience, seal and honesty is rewarded proportionately.

Beneath their rugged countenance and simple costumes there is to be .. found a mind and soul that is capable of limitless development. They are

quick to show their appreciation of efforts to educate them and improve their

: conditions in general. This responsiveness is a most encouraging character

istic. Some months ago the school board of Gary installed a night school, nevs the feature of which was the teaching of the -English language and

the .elementary studies to all foreigners. It was surprising how quick many ot them were to grasp the opportunity and how assiduous and sincere they vfrts.o -tw.fi r V r'x.- 5 a v-velation to the authorities and they soon found

soon to be ereoted In tnis city, v.: ie ierced to the uplift of the foreign

population and as in other cities where this work has been undertaken i is thought that much will be accomplished ' in surrounding them with moral

and Christian influences. The Presbyterian church has already prepared to establish In the south end a mission which will be devoted to a constant

effort towards their betterment. These efforts are most commendable in that they show a broader tendency towards the improvement trather han the

tollerance of these people.

The process of the assimilation of the foreigners, is a step towards the uplifting of mankind in general, which after all, is of vastly greater importance than the commercial value of this constantly increasing class of

cf citizens for which purpose they have been induced to emmigrate to this

country. It is only necessary to cite the improvement of the conditions of

the negroes who were brought to this country and were far less civilized than the Europeans coming to America today to realize the possibilities and the

virtue in striving to cultivate their latent powers.

A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME ONE.

The annual election of officers for the Hammond Business Men's asso-

eiaUon Is at hand and the members of the association should be looking around tor a Uve man to fill this most important office. W. G Paiton, who has headed the affairs of the association for some time, will rot be a candidate for . re-election. ' Under Mr. Paxton's regime the affairs of the association have prospered remarkably and he has made an efficient officer. The affairs of the association, during the coming year, are fraught with so much Importance and pregnant with so much possibility that the Business Men's association should have at it head the livest wire In the city. It Is a hard Job to fill; there is no salary atttached to it: 'It means many sacrifices to be the head of such an organization, but the honor that

comes, to a successful president more than compensates for what one must

give up to serve in that capacity.

There are many loyal men in Hammond capable cf filling the office-

men iuu oi cmc zeal and patriotism, and if they are called upon to allow their names to fee considered, they should think twice before saying they cannot afford to take the great honor. -

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN MAINE. During the two weeks beginning- today municipal elections are to be held in all the chief cities or Maine. Both parties are making strenuous efforts to qarry the cities, for the-moral effect it will have on the general elections next fall. Augusta is now in the hands of th republicans, but the democrats hope to redeem it, Auburn and Lewiston will hold their elections next Monday. The first is naturally a republican city, but on account of the unpopularity of the enforcement of the prohibition laws the democrats believe they have a good chastee of victory.

THE TIMES desires to call the attention of advertisers to the statement on the first page regarding its phenomenal increase in advertising There is a reason for It The business men know the value of THE TIMES' advertising. THE TIMES' subscribers, when they read a TIMES' ad know ITJLN?T EAD Dr 8leepIng- Therknow it is paid advertising' THE TIMES does not carry EXCHANGE advertising.

HAM AND EGGS TO SEPARATE Ham and eggs have taken separate routes. While ham is soaring oward etheral realms, eggs are hovering almost within reach of despairing humanity. Hogs on th hoof set a new high mark In Chicago yesterday when the record price of $10 a hundred was paid." Eggs, on the other hand, sold at 23 H to 24 cents a dozen, good fresh eggs such as a few short weeks ago brought 42 cents a dozen in the open market. Since Saturday the price dropped a full cent. The first sale of pork at $10 yesterday was made. At Indianapolis the price was $10.05.
