PROSPERITY IN TWIN CITIES. During the recent panic Indiana Harbor set the pace for the whole region in building operations. While the other cities of the region were at a standstill and the investors and financiers were undecided as to the course they should persue, the work on buildings at Indiana Harbor went right along as though nothing had happened. ' East Chicago made some improvements, but East Chicago has never been quite so active as its "better half" In the rapidity of its development.

nut at that, East Chicago managed to

large number of residences. Now East Chicago is coming to the front. Sol Friedman, of Chicago, has let the contract for the construction of a fine store building with flats above, to be erected at the corner of Chicago and Forsythe avenues. This building is to be modern in every particular and will cost In the neighborhood' of $35,000.

A contract was recently let for the construction of a large addition to the school house in East dhicago and this Is the best indication of the city's

growth. And so East Chicago and Indiana it is not expected to be long before

cities will be as large as that of Hammond. And then his neat invention about the "tail wagging the dog" will not look so funny. East Chicago has the first benefits of the canal, Indiana Harbor has the canal and the very excellent railroad facilities. East Chicago is represented in the business world by the East Chicago company, which has millions of . -MS . SLANDERING SENATOR BEVERIDGE. If there is one thing above another calculated to make real republicans ineffably weary it Is the constant'repetltion In the democratic papers of the state of the phrase, "The Indianapolis Sun, the personal organ of Senator Beveridge, says, etc." Always some bit of rank political hersey, some hysterical squawk, some outrageous misstatement of facts, or some grotesque bit of inane drivel appears aa the quotation and by Its appearance Senator Beveridge is presented to tho public as a freak, whose true scene of activity should be a dime museum. Of course, people who are Informed understand perfectly that tho democratic press is unfair and Insincere In its presentment, but no doubt there are many who really believe that the erratic young gentleman, who employs the Sun as his toy, actually receives his Inspiration from Senator Beveridge and that the senator is In fact responsible for all the atrocities committed in his name by the possibly well-meaning but certainly misguided and misinformed amateur. . Senator Beveridge most assuredly is not to be held accountable for the Sun, nor should the sins of noisy notoriety seekers who endeavor to exploit him for their own aggrandizement and glorification be visited upon his head. Common decency demands that the flagitious misrepresentation of Senator Beveridge by the democratic press come to an end. Fort Wayne News.

A SCHEDULE IMPROVEMENT. In order to take care of the summer excursion crowds the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Electric Railroad has decided to increase its service between South Bend and Chicago from a car every two hours to hourly trains. This is an improvement which the company should greatly benefit thereby.

The new time table went Into effect

considerably. In addition to the more frequent service the cars will be run faster so that the average running time between South Bend and Chicago will be cut one half hour, something that ought to be appreciated by those who want quick service. ' This is to be the regular summer schedule and will give the people along the line of the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend line and opportunity to make the most of the summer resorts along the line. With the other interurban companies making their improvements right along, it is encouraging to patrons of the South Sh,ore to note that It doesn't propose to be a whit behind the rest.

THE TIMES We are much distressed that the

peevish because it has once more shown up as a paper that doesn't give the news and publish, the following: Where the Hammond "TIMES gets some of its alleged news is often a mystery, but this last outbreak is more of a mystery than ever. Here folks are all excited over a street car franchise that has not yet been read before a meeting of the council, and yet this "news" dissemiator has it that such a franchise had passed one reading and would be put through second reading.

After the fretful Call fell down so' obviously on the Castleman franchise and failed to tell the good people of Whiting anything about the grant until

the TIMES published the story, the

son. As a matter of fact it doesn't interest the people of Whiting whence this paper gets its news, as long as they DO get it. Perhaps the Call's mystery is now cleared up seeing that the Whiting council passed the

franchise to its second reading just as -T9 GARY AMAZES If one-tenth as much building was Gary in the whole state of Indiana, the

upon columns aoout "the greatest building boom," yet the newspapers of Gary think no more of printing stories of the erection of two or three substantial building every day, than they would to chronicle the accounts of an

ordinary accident.

Gary doesn't have to boast about its building boom because it has been so busy building during the past four years that it has done .little else. But a glance over the building notes in the trade journals, "The American Contractor and Builder," for instance, shows that building activities in the

Steel City are only j eclipsed by cities hundred thousands. t

AN EAST CHICAGO paper, which is somewhat given to lugubriousness, calls attention to something which ought to be investigated and learn if the

cnarge is true. This paper says: "Decorum is a branch if study sadly neg

Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE.. A COURAGEOUS YOUNG NAN. The best work one can do is the work one loves the best. And it is one of the sad things of this life that so many are obliged to do the work they do not enjoy merely for the sake of getting on in , tha world. But None of us should be rightly content until he is able to do the task that is congenial to him, the work in which he finds delight. I know a young man who longed above all things to own a small newspaper in which he could write his own opinions and conceits free from all dictation and supervision. He was not able to save enough from his reporter's wages to buy even a small paper. The young man took up the job ef soliciting orders on commission for a shirt manufacturer. He did not like the work, but worked at it as a money making device. It was a means, not an end. He made money and after a couple of years was offered a five Tears' con tract at a large salary to continue the business, handling a larger line. He deliberately turned his back on this comfortable offer of , a certainty to buy his village newspaper. My young man cannot hope to make ont of his paper in five years what he was offered for one year in the com merdal line, but he is happy in his newspaper work. He is fitted for that work, and he does good work because he takes joy in his work. You say it takes courage for a man to give up a certainty for something he likes that is less remunerative? No. It takes more courage to stay at the uncongenial task. The smart thing to do is not to give np your uncongenial task, but to fin lsh it. Get it out of the way as quickly as possible so that you will have left the necessary time and opportunity to do your real work in the world. Some of us may have to work at the thing vwe do not wholly like or even despise. We dream of our castles, but we do not make our present la bors a stairway to lead us to the top of the castle of our dreams. We loiter on the stairway, view the landscape o'er and stop there. Young manDo, not be content with your present labors if God Almighty intended you to do something else. Do not rashly quit your present '"' labors, but make them stepping stones. If you are to find happiness In this world at all you must find it In con genial work. I UP AND DOWN IN 1-N-D-I-A-N-A BENJAMIN OFFERS COMPROMISE.

The Poet Philosopher

- SPRING IS HERE. The hens they are clucking, the colts are a-bucking, the zephyrs are Joyously murmuring tunes; the peacock is haughty, the gostlings are dotty, the farmers are laboring, sowing their prunes. The lambkins are jumping, the Windmill Is pumping a lot of wet water to fill up the tank; the hired girl so flossy, is mllkirvg old Bossie, who knocks o'er the pail with one biff of her shank. The hired man is fussing with harness and cussing whoever invented a slabsided mule; the old hen is squawking; she thinks it Is shocking that ducks will go swimming around in a pool. Oh, spring, you're a dandyl My harp isn't handy, or I would embalm you In measures that charml I think It a pity that folks in the city can't all, at this season, be out on a farm! I would that town legions, In green rural regions, might gambol and monkey and chortle and sing, and, far from skyscrapers and fierce daily papers, get down to the grass-roots and know what is Spring!
