ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE FAIR.
We believe that the Gary city administration will "be fair In Its conslder-
eratlon of the Gary & Southern Traction ccmpany,stclaim3 insomuch as it
seeks entrance into Gary.
We believe that the administration wants Gary' to be a bl. magnificent city and that the upbuilding of the city is largely-dependant on the ease
with which people can get in and out of Gary. .
We helieve that it is generally acknowledged that Inierurban street
railway and traction development is largely responsible for the civic pros
perity of (he Calumet region. Without electric roads the cities would be in a sorry fix. That they are not dependant on the steam roads entirely is a matter of congratulation. The more electric lines the better; the more
possibility in the way of inter-city communication; the-jmore factories; the
more homes; the more people, and the more money. ...
If the Gary & Southern is acting in good faith, and, there is no evidence
to the contrary, the promoters are entitled to every consideration at the
hands of the Gary city administration.
If Mr. W. H. Seaman is sincere in his assertion that he desires to give
Gary additional city street car service, his application for a right to enter
the city over the Gary & Interurban should be still more seriously con
v sidered. This is a matter which vitally effects the transportation problem
of the future. -
In judging of his ability or inclination to build the route for which he secured an extension of time yesterday, nothing has occurred so far to
detract from a favorable opinion. It is true that the two years' time allotted him for the construction of the road had expired, but there were mitigating circumstances which made the delay excusable. Mr Seaman could not be blamed for not wanting to build a line when he did not know whether the
Calumet river bridge at South Broadway would be completed In six months
or two years, iudcine bv the way that the work was being prosecuted. Also
it was uncertain when the pproaches to the bridge would be completed.
In this case, instead of Crossing a bridge before he came to it, the promoter --ild not intend to come to thjfe bridge before he could cross It. He has, however, completed his grading which was about the most that could be ex
pected under the circumstances.
The Gary & Southern Traction company is not asking for the franchise
south of the river, they Relieve that they have it and that nothing can take
it away from them. If there is a legal difference of opinion about this,
however, and the grant is made to the Gary & Interurban by the city council,
It must be fought out in court. That will mean nothing less than there
will be no car line in this district at all for at least a year.
Why not give the company a chance? To foster city railway competi
tlon in the city would be the best possible thing for it. It is believed that
there is room for two roads here anyway.
MR. Seaman is putting up a strong fight to get farming truck into Gary. - GREAT deal of "revision downward" in the "blind pig" cases at Crown Point.
J. W. Kern's love for W J. Bryan is
very touching. It is of "the prickly burr kind. .
JUST start the grouch habit if you
want to handicap yourself and keep

BEVERIDGE AN INDEFATIGABLE WORKER.
In these days of how to get the money easiest and with the least work
n these days where we find so many examples of men elected to serve the Interests of the people "laying down on the job," it is refreshing to say the
least to find examples of men who believe they have an honest duty to th
constituents who elect them.
Indiana is represented at the national capital by a man of whom every citizen in the state, regardless of politics, regardless of creed, religion or
occupation ought to be proud.
This man is Senator Beveridge, who, tlnci he became a factor in public life, since he became senator from this great commonwealth of Indiana, has labored unceasingly and unremittingly for the people of this state. Where
Is there i man, a senator if you will , who has done as much for his state
as has Ser.itor Beveridge. It is, Indeed, almost impossible to pick up a metropolitan newspaper in which Senator Beverldge's name is not mentioned in some line of activity. His diligence and ability are astounding. The amount of work he gets through dally is such as to command the admiration of the multitude. He is ever active in well-doing for the state of Indiana, and no Indianan has ever called upon him for help in which the senator has not responded. It would be Impossible, indeed, in a preachment of this kind to really tell how valuable a man Senator Beveridge is in the place he now fills at Washington, and how hard it would be for Indiana to put a man in his niche who would fill it as satisfactorily. ; - Indiana will do well to consider that It will be a great loser unless Senator Beveridge is returned.
TALKS ON CHARITY MATTERS. Dr. Busse, superintendent of the
Southeastern Indiana Hospital for Insane, met in Madison Tuesday with the
trustees of the institution and talked over matters relating to the buildings soon to he completed and salaries to
be paid. He was a guest the same night
of the Rev. J. H. Barnard, former pastor of the Second Presbyterian church
of Madison. v
GLASS MANUFACTURER NAMED. David C Jenkins, a Kokomo glass
manufacturer, was nominated In the republican primary for the office of
joint senator, defeating William Morton,
chairman of the committee on public
morals in the Hanly legislature. For
representative Anderson Johnson, a
prominent leader for the "drys" In the recent liquor fight in Howard county, defeated Harrison H. Stewart, the present representative.
RIVER HIGHEST IN TEARS. White river continues to rise at
Decker and now Is at a higher stage
than for a year and a half. It registers 22.9 and is rising half an inch an hour. All residents of the lowlands are floodbound, but on account of warm weather are not suffering. Thousands of acres
of wheat will be drowned as the river has been over most of it eight days.
INTRODUCE TAGG ART'S DEPOSITION
Immediately following the Introduc
tion of Thomas Taggarts deposition at Paoli as president and manager of the French Lick Springs Hotel company the state rested its case in the charter revocation suit Tuesday afternoon. The
defense expected to rest its case the next day. The state would then give
some evidence In rebuttal.

vides that all sweeping of houses and
premises must be done from the front to the rear and that the sweepings must be taken up and placed 1 na re
ceptacle. Heretofore the sweeping has been the other way round and especially so by the housewives of the . city, who have swept thrash from the front yard out upon the sidewalk and finally into the gutter. . SOUTH BEND LID ON. The lid was clamped on South Bend tonight, and for the first time in years
it was Impossible after 11 o'clock to
get . into a saloon in the business or
outlying districts. The order for the strict observance of the Indiana liquor laws came from Mayor Goetx. At midnight a tour of the city showed that
the order had been obeyed ta the let

as to allow a full view of the bar rooms , in compliance with the Niohol' son law, ; MAN SLOWLY OSSIFIES.

CARE IN AUTO DRIVING. Twelve people were killed and a score more were maimed In automobile accidents in Lake county, alone last year, and one man has been killed and seven others injured so far this season, and it is hardly begun. It ought to be time for. those who own automobiles to realize that the machine Is simply an engine of death in shocking form when it is manipulated without due consideration to the safety of its occupants and the people who meet it. - - An automobile in the hands of a careless driver, or one who is incompetent, or one who is totally heedless of the rights and privileges of other people, is a dangerous thing. Ninety-nine per cent of the accidents that take human life and malm it, is the result of somebody's carelessness, and particularly is this true of automobile accidents. With proper vigilance and care the use of the automobile never, or very seldom at least, need be attended with anything but safety and enjoyment Without this vigilance it. is nothing' more nor less than a juggernant. It is time, surely, for those who own machines to cease scorching and speeding; to exercise care in approaching railroad and street 'crossings; for their own personal safety and the safety of the public. There is no reason why the auto should be a sacrificial instrument of death. -js .

The Poet Philosopher
THE SORREL COLT. A sorrel colt, one pleasant day, ran round and round a stack of hay,
and kicked its heels, and pawed the land, and reared and Jumped to beat the
band. The older horses stood around and swallowed fodder by the pound, and gave no notice to the kid that gayly round the hay stack slid. I loafed along and murmured, then: "If horses were as mean as men, some old gray workhorse, stiff and sour, would Jaw that colt for half an hour; methlnks I hear that workhorse say: You think you're mighty smooth and gay, and you are fresh and sporty now, but when they hitch you to the plough, and strap a harness on your back, and work you till your innards crack, and kick you when you want to balk, and slug you with a chunk of rock, and cover you
with nasty sores, and leave you freezing out of doors oh, then you won't
kick up your heelsl You'll know, then, how a workhorse feels!' But horses have no croaking voice, to chill the colt that would rejoice; no gray-beard plug will leave Its feed to make the heart of childhood bleed; no dismal
prophecies are heard, no moral homilies absurd, where horse stand and eat
their hay, and so the colts may run and play!' WALT MASON. Copyright. 1909, by George Matthews Adams.
