TWO CLEAN CANDIDATES.

Prank N. Gavit, of Whiting, has Just announced his candidacy Cor the

republican nomination for the state senatorship for this district. His only opponent so far Is WLUard B. Van Home, of Indiana Harbor, who has been a candidate for several weeks. It la particularly gratifying to this paper to

note that both of these gentleman have a large following because of the quality of their republicanism. Both are loyal republican-republicans. They are party men of principle and they have never ben weighed in the balance

and found wanting. This formal announcement entitles them to every con

sideration at the hands of the voters, for they ar rich In this most essential

qualification loyalty to the party.

The situation so far In regard to the senatorship is particularly a happy

one for the republicans. They are not called upon to fight a candidate for the high ofHce who' has been taken up on the high mountain by the democratic party, tempted and then fell. These men have never been accused of supporting a democrat. They have been regular, and are regular, and will

always be regular ' Now let the best man win.

il E LP FROM THE SOUTH. We do not feel that the business men of Crown Paint and Lowell aa

whole are showing enough interest in the traction situation. There does not

seem to be the pulling effort, crystallized and concentrated effort to help the promoters and those interested to the north in solving the preblems that have

been presented-

Crown Point has a Business Men's association. Are there not on Its

roster some live wires, who, forming a committee, could not influence those

who are inclined to put stumbling blocks In the way of the proposed electric road to the north end "of the country? , Does it make no difference to Crown . Point and Lowell -Whether this means of inter-city communication comes to them or pet?" The road Is badly wanted and needed m both places, but good things are not handed around on silver platters in this 'day and generation.

The Evening Chit-Chat; By RUTH CAMERON

i

."What is this Ballinger-Pincbot affair anway?" Is heard one young man

say to another the other day as he spread open a newspaper ln whose headlines Mr. Ballinger and Mr. Plnchot were prominently mentioned. .',

"Oh, I don't know. Some kind of a fight about some land somewhere."

answered the second young man vaguely. "I haven't been following lt at all."

Have you? And did it ever occur to you that It was your duty to follow that and

other things like it? '

Sometimes I hear people usually young women say in tones of evident

pride. "I almost never read the newspaptrs."

I think that every man and woman In this land should read some things

in the newspapers whether they read anything else or not.

And by "some things" I mean things like the Balllnger-Pinchot con

troversy.

Present this public with a large and involved and more or less abstract

question like the Ballinger-Plnchot controversy, and it balks, skips It for thedescription of latest things In murders or the interview with the latest novelty

ln defaulters, doesn't "try to follow it."

By and by the abstract question gets unpleasantly translated into terms

of everyday life the price of timber goes up or the government fostered monopoly brings on a tremendous coal strike, and the public reads all about these concrete things avidly.

If lt would only do its reading In the first Instance lt might not have to

ln the latter.

How many people cared to read and digest much of the tariff discussions? When the information about the tariff is offered ln tabloid form, in out

lines, or in headlines, so that he who runs may read, they may give it a little attention, but when lt Is presented ln long paragraphs, unbroken by conver

sation, most of them promptly skip it.

But later, when the tariff begins to get ln Its work and prices go up and

there is a meat boycott, then the shoe begins to pinch, an the public begins to read every word about this concrete result of the abstraction which lt

Ignored so blithely a few months ago. "An ounce of prevention," etc. as maybe you've heard before, and likewise an ounce of interest ln the tariff would have been worth a pound of protest against, higher prices; an ounce of Interest ln the Balllnger-Pinchot controversy will be worth a pound of protest at shortage oi coal or wood ten years from now. Are you glad or sorry that you live in a democratic country, where public opinion, whatever some people say, is a gTeat power? If you are glad, suppose you show it by reading ln the newspapers the chronicles of the Important things of the day, such as the Ballinger-Plnchot controversy, and making your part of the public opinion a valuable one. And if you are sorry, suppose you find a better country.

THE RIGHT STAND TO TAKE.

Alderman Bowser, pf Gary, Is acting well within his rights when he in-

i slsts that the city should be properly compensated for all franchise grants

which lt hands out

. He is not only acting within his rights, but he Is doing his duty by the

constituency which elected him. That is exactly for what the people of

Gary put Mr. , Bowser in office to protect their rights and the rights of the

generations to come.

It is an invariable rule in the experience of all municipalities that they are not properly compensated for their generosity which enables corporations

to fatten up their own purses. It is refreshing to find a councilman who is

taking the stand that Mr. Bowser is. May he remain firm in his conviction.

A franchise is worth something to its seekers or they would not be after ' lt. Let them pay for lt Let them give the city something in return. The

day Is passed when Gary neds to give presents.'
