DEMOCRACY LOSES DR. ALEY. The democratic party and incidentally the Indiana state democratic ticket has lost one of its most valuable assets in losing Robert J, Aley, superintendent' of public instruction and a candidate for re-election. Dr. Aley is to leave Indiana and accept the presidency of the University of Maine. , If we are not mistaken it was Dr. Aley who said in a recent speech that he had "no taste or fitness for politics." We are not surprised. Dr. Aley has hob-nobbed with the democrats in politics to have lost all his desire to associate with the party any longer, and seeing a chance to divorce his daily

life from political squabbles and dubious odor that sticks to things political,

he made hi3. determination ta resign. Dr. Aley is a splendid type of man. He has been one of the best state

officials that Indiana ever had. He would have made a strong gubernatorial candidate for he measures up with the biggest men in the state in any party.

Whes Dr. Aley visited Hammond recently, and men of this city were privileged to meet him, it was not hard for them to see that in the educator there was little of the politician.

BOOMING THE CALUMET REGION. If you are interested in the phenomenal growth of the various cities in the Calumet region you cannot fail to be interested in the weekly building editions that THE TIMES prints in its Gary, Hammond, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor editions. They ought to be of intense and extraordinary interest to you. They represent an enormous amount of work. The bright young men, whose duty it is to rake this district for news with a fine tooth comb, are driven at high speed to keep in touch with the development of this wonderful industrial region As week by week these building editions flood the county and state, they tell of the progress of the great Calumet district and so successful have they become, that other papers are falling in

line and specializing along the lines where THE TIMES pioneered. We trust that all the newspapers will follow suit. We grudge no one success. It is impossible for one man to have a monopoly of success in the Calumet region, or anywhere else for that matter, and the newspaper which sulks on the fence while the procession goes by, Instead of falling Into line and joining the happy throng of boomers, simply hastens the day when the sheriff or the constacle puts the key In the door. Let ail the newspapers follow THE TIMES', example and boom the cities of the Calumet region. It needs it. It is deserving of it. It is growing, It .is going to grow more. For four years THE TIMES has with inexhaustible fertility given its readers the news of this district and especially from a commercial, industrial and financial standpoint. It is proud to say that it has been instrumental in being the press agent par excellence for this corner of the state. If you are not a subscriber for THE TIMES you ought to be. Every little helps. If you are not buying from five to fifty of the building editions printed by THE TIMES for the city in which you live, and sending them to your friends in other states to induce them to locate here, to bring their money, their families, their hopes and ambitions here in the Calumet region, you are putting the brake on the district's progress Let us all get together. - SHE GIVES THE TEAM LOYAL SUPPORT.

Nothing testifies to the up-to-dateness of a town, if the word is

permissible, more than the manner in which its citizens support their base

ball team. Indiana Harbor, in this respect, stands in the front rank. , Her

baseball team is as the apple of her eye. There is no city in th Calumet region where the baseball team is so loyally supported, nor supported by as substantial a lot of citizens, as the Indiana Harbor team. There are two reasons for this. The primary reason is a love of the sport. The secondary

reason, is the knowledge that nothing advertises a city as extensively as

does its bail team That is to say. if the team amounts to anything. Sometimes the situation is reversed and 'it ia this knowledge which constitutes

the primary reason, while the love of the sport is a natural sequence of the ether. In Indiana Harbor, business men who are in no sense sports, in the common acceptance Qf the term, are as crazy over the ball team as a school boy. Many of these men never took the slighest interest in the game, until they were brought to look upon a ball team as a good advertising medium. Thus they were induced to patronize the game at first, and gradually they hecame interested in the game for true sport's sake. There is never a Sunday when the home team performs at home, but what fully 1,000 fans congregate to witness the game. " On the Sundays that the team played in Tolleston and Hammond, between five hundred and a thousand loyal rooters followed "the boys" to the scene of conflict. If that is not loyalty, what is? It therefore behooves the Indiana Harbor ball team to merit this loyalty. It is to be hoped that in future the sport v. ill not be marred by any unseemly brawls ilike the one which on last Sunday lost the game to Hammond which hundreds .of loyal Indiana Harborites had come to Hammond to witness. It is a noteworthy fact that the fans who follow the Indiana Harbor team, are not the hoodlum, nor the rough element. In the

crowd are to be found the very best and most substantial citizens Indiana Harbor boasts. These include doctors, lawyers, merchants, in fact business

and professional men in every walk in life. This is the highest compliment

a community can pay its ball team, and the members of the organization

owe it in consequence to merit the confidence and respect thus shown them

The king of all the grouchers passed away In New Jersey a few days ag"

He believed himself to be haunted by misfortune; he lost his farm, his horse.

and all bi3 property, no doubt through the continued cultivation of a grouihy

temperament. At last he took to bed, disgusted with life and everything else.

For thirty-one years he kept his bed and refused to speak to any one. It was

a queer way of "getting square" with the world. He would rise at night, eat a little, take a walk in the dark and go back to bed. He deliberately closed the door gainst. all human kindness and social intercourse; and when at last

this poor unfortunate passed away, he took his grouch with him, for nobody wanted it. This was an extreme case, of course, and alienists would have pro

nounced the man crazy; but from all the records, his afflictions, which were : probably of his own making, held no justification for such folly as his. Job,

the most afflicted man that ever lived, was an optimist in comparison

Grouching is the poorest kind of retaliation against conditions that can not

be controlled. Let us look on the bright side of things, and whenever we

feel dispose 3 to grouch, let us remember the poor victim of his own tempefa-

naent who nursed his grouch until it killed him. The Christian Herald.
