THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

The republican county convention, held at Indiana Harbor last Satur

day was a success from every point of view and the party in Lake county

has every reason to be proud of the ticket nominated to represent it at

the November hustings.

Indiana Harbor can congratulate herself on the success of her Initial

' effort as a convention city. Her hospitality was tested fully and not a bit

strained. The arrangements made for the accommodation of the eonven

tlon crowd were splendid and no step was left untaken that was needed to

show the city was fully alive to the exigencies of the occasion.

The ticket named by the republican party is a strong one. We do not

say this because a party organ ought to praise the work of a county con

vention, but simply for the reason that the men selected at the primaries are representative republicans and good citizens. In some cases perhaps stronger men could have been nominated to have represented the party, but some men again who are particularly well Qualified to serve the people,

refuse to carry their sense of duty so far that It will permit them to enter i the political field. The ticket from a geographical standpoint is perfect.

No one part of the county can claim any precedence over another part.

Lowell, Gary, Eagle Creek, Wlnfield, Hammond, Hobart, East Chicago, Han

over and Whiting have each furnished representatives on the ticket and a

fine distribution of offices has been portioned out. The race between Messrs. Grimmer and Wickey was a remarkable one. Two years ago Mr.

Grimmer had the popular and Mr. Wickey the delegate vote. This year Mr

Wickey had the popular, and Mr. Grimmer the delegate vote, and hence where the former was nominated two years ago, Mr. Grimmer won out on

Saturday. While Mr. Wickey's record at tbe last session of the legislature,

as has been pointed but, was a strong one, he antagonized a number In both

Gary and Hammond in the memorable court fight. Incidentally the three

legislators who took part in that court fight and had by precedent a right to expect renominatlon were put out of the running this year. These men were Bowser of Porter, Kllver of Gary, and Wickey of East Chicago. The republicans can now rest on their oars with the knowledge that their work has been well done. They can now wait to see what the democrats . are going to give them to do. The preliminary work done by County Chairman Schaaf so far in the campaign has been very effective and he has every reason to believe that the republican party of Lake county stands with him shoulder to shoulder for the coming battle.

THE "DRY SPELL" NEARLY OVER. The long period of draught, or rather "near draught," in which beer interspersed with near beer has been consumed in the Steel City, is about to draw to a close and the noise of the bar-room quartettes, clinking glasses and animated conversation will bear the tidings that Gary is again "wet." Although considerable leciency will be allowed by the public authorities the patrons of these places will not be permitted to become too enthusiastic in their celebration of the great event. There will be . 180 applicants for licenses in Gary at the next session of the county commissioners. This will mean that for the present, if the licenses are granted, there will be one saloon in the city for every ninety men, women and children In the city. Not only that, but four-fifths of the applicants for licenses are foreigners, some of whom have established reputations which should bar them absolutely at the outset from ever securing a license in this city. Several Americans may also be In the same boat, but it Is doubtful whether any one in Gary will take the pains to remonstrate against the undesirables who seek to continue in the liquor business in Gary. This :tate of affairs looks dubious. It' must eventually plunge, in spite of the most vigilant efforts on the part of the police department, the. city into another period of crime just as sure as all these places open their doors for business. This is inevitable for the principal reason that 160 saloons cannot be run legitimately in Gary at the present time and make a profit.

The character of many of the applicants precludes the possibility of main

taining orderly places. The high license and high rents, combined with fierce competition, will drive some of them into other questionable side lines. Now is the time to guard Gary's reputation.

THE ANNUL SPRING UNREST. Not alone does the annual spring labor troubles bring unrest In this country, but the microbe is active all over the world to a remarkable extent Unless something should intervene at the last moment, this week will bring an almost complete suspension of building operations throughout Germany, as the immediate result of the general lockout threatened by the organized employers in the building trades, unless the labor unions should accept thlr ultimatum. The organization of the employers comprises about 22,000 members throughout the country and the lockout will involve about 400,000 building workmen and indirectly more than one million of other workers, in some way allied with or dependent upon the building trades. Numerous efforts to bring about a compromise have been made by the government and prominent officials, but failed In every case. It may become a problem for psychologists sooner or later, this recurrent spring labor agitation and it Is becoming so marked each year that it is one of the biggest problems confronting the world. . - -- 1 mm -

SOME DEMOCRATIC POTHER. We note with a good deal of Interest that the note In the democratic harmony instrument in Indiana is just a little fiat. There is a little rift within the lute. Far be it from us to magnify it. Perhaps it is Just a wee rift. At least for the sake of peace in the democratic camp, let us hope it is just a tiny crack. The signs of the times, however,, show that there is a great deal- of discord in the state democratic aggregation because of the manner in which a senatorial candidate Is to be chosen. We remember that It has always been the democratic battle slogan to shout for the election of

senatorial candidates by the people. But some loyal democrat, Instead of

talking about it, got down to brass tacks and advocated It in something else

besides words. That democrat was none other than Governor Marshall. He simply set the Taggartites by the ears and the din and commotion is reverberating all over the state. It begins to look quite likely that the Indiana demo

crats are going to have some sizzling insurgents on their own hands.

When she missed hearing "Otjello"

Wednesday night because a dentist attached her trunks and upset her peace of mind, Miss Nellie Anheuser, granddaughter of the founder of Anheuser Busch brewing association of St. Louis determined -to fight. So did Mrs. John W. Springer, wife of a banker and cat

tleman of Denver, Colo., who came from tne west with Miss Anheuser to attend the opera.

Miss Anheuser and Mrs. Springrer do

not propose to let this determination

to fight interfere with the pleasure of

the trip to Chicago, however, and after turning the legal end of the matter orer to Mayer, Meyer, Austrian, and Flatt yesterday, they refused to be an

noyed. They went motoring during

the day and attended the opera in the evening.

and got $5, all the money in sight.

The burglar started to back away

when he caught sight of little Marie Hubert, aged four years, asleep in her

crib. What was it?

Did he have children at home, or

was it some tender resolution?

Anyway, this burglar who a few moments before was a desperado went over to the crib and looked a long time down in the face of the sweetly sleep

ing child.

Then be went back to tbe bedside of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert, handed over

the $5 he had taken, dug up a quarter

besides and said:

"This is my change, and I haven't

got a whole lot either. I need It, but

I'm going to leave it for the little kid."

His, voice grew husky.

"Just hand her this quarter when she wakes np, will you? She's all

right." Then be went away.

What is there in tbe old book about babes "stilling the avenger?" And it

says "a little child shall lead them."

There was a good spot in the burglar.

and the face of tbe child caused in

visible fingers to touch that spot.

Dickens, you remember, says there

is a way to every heart, though it may

be up winding stair.

Who knows what a crisis ia tbe life

of that man may have been made by the little one there sleeping the breathless slumber of childhood? Anyway It doesn't behoove the best of ns to talk about the rest of us.
