RANDOM THINQS AND FLINGS
RETARDING THE REGION'S PROGRESS.,
The progress of the Calumet region and of every city thereof Is throttled
at present by reason of the dilatory methods used by contractors and cor
porations.
There is not a single city in the district that doesn't feel the affect of it
and there isn't a single person, living in the district that Is not affected
directly or indirectly. The amount of Indifference on the part of these con
tractors is amazing. The amount of patience shown by the taxpayers is in
finitely more amazing.
The delay in paving old streets, opening new roads, building bridges,
retards the public weal and must be stopped. The newspapers simply tear their "passion to tatters."
The people look on, while the county officials permit these men to throw
monkey wrenches into the machinery of municipal progress in the great and
wonderfully endowed Calumet region.
HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO STAND FOR IT, MR. TAXPAYER?
GARY AS THE WELSH CITY. Sociologists have frequently wondered which branch of the Anglo-Saxon race would predominate in Gary. Some say that it will be the Teutonic people, others the sons of John Bull, some than see the supremacy in the immigrants from the Irish island, while others loudly proclaim the merits of the Scotchmen. But all have another guess coming. Official confirmation has been given us that the American Sheet Steel & Tin Plate mills will be fifty per cent larger than any other tin plate plant in the world. Not only will the tin plate plant be Gary's largest industry, but it will pay the highest wages. Rollers in tin plate mills earn from $10 to $20 daily. In tact the prize possession of Judge E. H. Gary, the chairman of the steel corporation, is a photograph of twenty-three automobiles and their owners, all rollers in the Vander griff (Pa.) tin plate mills. Whenever anyone says that the steel trust does not pay high wages, the chairman shows him that picture. In fact, he recently showed the picture to an investigating committee, made up of United States senatorial It is this claas of workers that will be employed in the Gary tin plate mills. Eventually there will be 12,000 of them in this line and they will be the highest paid mechanics in the city. Seventy-five per cent of the tin plate mill men are Welshmen. They first got the knack of making the product from their native Cornwall in the Welsh mountains, and when they came to America they kept up the high wage scale by being very jealous in giving away the secrets of their trade. Unless a man was a Welshman or a son of one, he has but-little chance cf breaking into the clannish circle of the men of Harloch. These kind of people are coming to Gary, beginning in the autumn. They are coming from Newcastle, in Pennsylvania, and Newcastle, in Wales, from Muncie, from Elwood and other tin plate centers. As the highest paid workmen in the Calumet steel belt, they will constitute the industrial aristocracy of the region. There will be more tin plate workers in Gary than steel workers.
Considering that the Welshman is no believer of race suicide, a quarter
of a century hence the name of Roberts, Davis and Jones will predominate in
Gary. Just as Milwaukee is known as the German town. New Orleans as the French city. New York as having more Jews than Jerusealem, Minneapolis as the second Stockholm, and Boston as the rival of Dublin, so Gary may be
known as the Welsh city.

NEWSPAPER FARMERS' FRIEND.
In an audience composed mostly of the members of the Farmers' union
recently, one of the speakers expressed the mutual friendship between the farm and newspapers in the following: "As a rule the farmer has no firmer
friend than the country press. The home paper is distinctly the farmers'
own paper, supported directly and indirectly by farmers who compose the
backbone of the subscription list of the printer, and largely for what the enterprising merchant advertises. Now, brother, let us rot forget our friends Let us see that our subscription is paid a year in advance; we can do it
The man or the paper that fights our battles shall have my support. Another thing, the merchants advertising are the ones who make it possible for us to get a good local paper. The man or local firm who is too penurious to
advertise and help support the local press has no right to the farmers' patronage. I promised, hereafter, to go to the live advertiser and the man who does his share in supporting the local press, thus contributing my support,
ratner man a man who proposes to take all and give nothing back. If
farmer as a' class would support their friends, the other fellow would soon
go out of business."
"THIS IS MY 40TH BIRTHDAY" Adolph O. Eberhart. Adolph O. Eberhart, the present governorof Minnesota, was born In Sweden, June 23, 1870. When he was 10 years old, his parents lrnigrated to the United States, but the family funds would not
permit of the boy accompanying them, and he was left in Sweden. A year later young Eberhart made the Journey alone and soon after his arrival In America he found employment on a ranch In Nebraska. He aided in the support of his parents and not until he was nearly 21 years of age did he find an opportunity to attend school. With a little money he had saved up he entered Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn., in 1891, and by extraordinary diligence he succeeded In completing a seven years' course study in less than four years. He then began the study of law in Mankato and after his admission to the bar three years later he speedily attained prominence In his profession. At the same time he took an active Interest In Republican polltics and In 1902 he was elected to the State senate. His legislative record brought him prominently before the people and In 1906 he was elected lieutenant governor. In 1909 Mr. Eberhart became governor of Minnesota by the death of Governor Johnson.

HE WOULD DO FINE, WOULDN'T HE? It is always the man who doesn't happen to own a newspaper who thinks he would publish all the news. The man who has the responsibility knows better. He knows that there are good and sufficient reasons for not even printing all the news that's "fit to print," reasons that do not necessarily appertain to the counting room in any way. In every newspaper office in the country, big and little, fully as much news is suppressed as is printed and often it is the most interesting. But no good purpose would be served by printing it and no harm is done by leaving it out. On the contrary, its suppression is as often dictated by public policy as private In terest. It is only the man who doesn't own a paper who would print all the news "just as it happens."
THE PEE-PUL'S CANDIDATE. The democratic candidate for representative In the Tenth district is attorney for the United States Steel corporation, the Western Union Telegraph company, the Standard Oil company and all the railroads that run through Crown Point. Mr. Peterson is an able man. The corporations prove this they seek his services. It will be interesting to see Mr. Peterson making a campaign against the trusts and corporations It will be refreshing to hear his voice raised in behalf of the common people in the battle against the interests. Mr. Peterson is a safe, sane and conservative democrat, the kind that's been getting roasted in The Commoner and the sort that has been in contempt at democratic banquets. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the politicians will probably whoop things up in behalf of the common pee-pul. Lafayette Journal, ,

THANK Heaven we won't see any more pictures of Teddy, jr., going to see his fiance with a bunch of flowers In one mitt and a piece of bamboo In the other. HAMMOND youth says he went calling on girl the other night and asked for a drink of water. Says girl told him that he'd have to wait till her mother came home as she never went into the kitchen herself? - STRANGE that the Lake county democrats are putting off their campaign so long and lcsing all these op
portunities to ten tne rarmer wnat a
lot democracy has done for them. A GREAT New York paper in a head
line says "Hamilton Started His Career
as a Boy." Most of us were under

THE TWO STORIES.
j A pleasant yarn to me was told about the man who lives next door. It shows he has a heart of gold a thing I never knew before. And I will spring this cheerful tale on every fellow that 1 meet; I'll spring It till it's growing stale, and then I'll tell it and repeat. I hold that when we hear of good, we shouldn't hide the fact away, but chase around the neighborhood and tell the story every day. I've heard a story, dark and sad, about old Jinks, two doors below; it Indicates that he is bad, and full of wiokedness and woe. But I'll forget that dismal tale; its profits no one to reolte the
weaknesses of those who fail, In this life's march, of doing right. It profits
