MORE ABOUT EUGENE PURTELLE.
Some time ago, in order to warn the public that the financial operations
of Eugene Purtelle, the promoter of the Indiana & Northwestern Traction company, were, to speak charitably, not such as to impress those who had
investigated his " career with any degree of confidence in him, this paper
published the result of its findings and the story was widely copied.
It might be said at the outset that this paper has always fought for new and reputable interurban projects and lent them every aid within it,s
power. It has welcomed them all and gratituously devoted column after
column to these important and legitimate "schemes. The Indiana & North
western project was received with open arms until Purtelle's operations
and misrepresentations cast suspicion on his campaign to finance the propo
sition. Then followed the expose.
Recently the Rensselaer Republican interviewed Purtelle anent the revelations made by this paper and quotes the promoter as saying that "THE
TIMES' attack was because the paper was the mouth-piece of a rival railroad
project." The interview was sprinkled with assertions that are absolutely false and as a reflection was cast on this paper, it becomes a duty to brand Purtelle as a deliberate falsifier. Purtelle said, according to the Rensselaer paper, that he has a franchise in each town where his road is to opeate. HE HAS NO FRANCHISE IN HAMMOND. He said that the city has a $9,000 bond that he will carry out the franchise. THE CITY HA8 NO BOND OF PURTELLE'S WHATEVER. He said that thi3 paper is the mouth-piece of his rival company. THE TIMES is the mouth-piece of no man, no set of men, r.or does it speak, nor has it ever spoken for any stock-peddling proposition like Purtelle's. PURTELLE HAS NO RIVAL COMPANY, FOR THE FRANCHISE TO WHICH HE REFERS HAS EXPIRED. The simple reason why the people of this part of the state have little faith in Purtelle is because he ha3 made statements all over the region that are not true. No man can legitimize a project by lying to the public. Those who are interested in Mr, Purtelle will da well to watch these " columns for further news of his operations in this county.

Linemen employed by the Ft. Wayne & Wabash Valley Traction Company are busy cutting down trees along the
right-of-way which shut out a view of the track at curves. The accident at Kingsland, which might have been prevented if the motormen could have
had a clear view of the track, is re
sponsible for the new move.
EFFORTS HAVE FALLEN FLAT. The desperate efforts made by the democrats to undermine Congressman Crumpacker's strong position with the people Is shown by their efforts to array the old soldiers against him. They are spreading tales to the effect that Crumpacker has been either indifferent or hostile to the demands of the veterans for pension legislation, and a supreme effort is being made to incite the soldiers, o whom there is a very considerable number in' the Tenth district, to vote the democratic ticket.
Holliday, of Indianapolis, in the Star punctures these stories and en
larges the Ananias club so as to admit Crumpacker's traducers to membership. No man is better qualified to speak of Mr. Crumpacker's real attitude
toward the soldiers. Not only is Mr. Holliday a veteran himself, but in congress he was a member of the Committee on Invalid Pensions, which has
jurisdiction of pension bills, public and private. He also was a member of
the sub-committees that drafted and signed the favorable reports on the
Sulloway widows' pension bill and the McCumber service pension bill.
"I know whereof I speak." said he, "when I state that Crumpacker has worked as hard as any member of the House in behalf of the soldiers. He came before our committee as often "as any member to urge special pension
bills for soldiers in his district and he gave strong and effective support to both the Sulloway bill and the McCumber bill. It is grossly unfair to him to charge him with being inimica to the soldiers' Interests. I will go further and say that it is pure demagogism. For one, I resent the use of the soldiers as a political football , to help somebody into office and I am sure these attacks on Crumpacker will react on his accusers when the facts become known. "Crumpacker is a man of great ability and tremendous energy and the Tenth district will make a sad mistake if it retires him from congress."

KERN CHARGED BRIBERY. Lest you forget. These are the charges made by John W. Kern, candidate for United States senator on the democratic ticket, against United States Senator B. F. Shively. They were made Dec. 26, 1909, and published all over the country. "Forty-four democratic members of the legislature gave me pledges of their support their constituents '.. required it- When I seemed sure of the nomination te brewers suddently manifested a lively interest in the situation. It was proposed that the democrats, meeting in caucus, cast a secret ballot. - I understood what that meant pledged members of the legislature could vote for the brewery candidate, whoever s he happened to be, and no one would know it. Eight men were purchased and the second ballot went through. I received thirty-sixi votes and Benjamin F. Shively, atttorney for the brewers, was nominated. I think I know the names of the eight men who were bought up." Mr. Kern has repeatedly since then reiterated the damning charges. Since he was made the nominee, he has been silent. Not a move for an investigation has been made. The democratic papers have nothing to say. More significant yet, not a word has been heard from Senator Shively asking for an investigation of the charge that sullies his honor and pillories him Wefore the country as the beneficiary of a great crime. Kern is the man who is opposing Senator Beveridge. What do you think about the Kern senatorial scandal?
The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAM ERON
I want to take exception to a very old . proverb Half a loaf is better
than none. In one application that is true, of course, but in another sense
I think it is way off. For although In getting, half a loaf is certainly better than none, in spending I think it is more often worse than none. That is, it
you are going into a venture of any sort it doesn't pay to go in in a half-a-loaf style. On a paper on which I once worked the management decided to
feature a certain big festival. "Feature," let me explain to the uninitiated, means "give a lot of space to."
"We will send all our special writers and cartoonists to this affair," said
the editors, "and have them write and draw a lot of stuff that will interest
and flatter these people. Then we will advertise on the grounds what
splendid accounts we are giving of the Such-and-Such convention, and that
will make all those people buy our paper, and we shall get our money back in advertising."
AH of which would have been very splendid if they had only done it in
a whole-loaf style. But they didn't. Somewhere in the process the management evldenty lost Its courage about spending all that money, and instead of
advertising the paper's intention to devote so much space to its reports of
the convention in a wholesale way that would have brought results the man
agement stuck up a few posters so small and obscure that no one who wasn't looking for them could have found them, and let it go at that. Result Because they lost their nerve and spent so little in their at
tempt to attract attention they failed utterly, and the money they did spend
accomplished absolutely nothing and was completely thrown away. If they had spent three times as much they would undoubtedly have a hundred times the results. Half-a-loaf is the worst kind of economy. Isn't it better to spend more than you really can afford and get it back twice over in results than to spend half as much and thus lose it all? Big money often gets big money. Small money often gets lost. The man who puts all he can afford, and then some.into a venture burns his bridges behind him and therefore goes ahead with a desperation and determination that are almost sure to bring success. He musn't lose, and doesn't! All of which, although I have put it in terms of money because that was the easiest way to express it, is meant to apply just as much to the whole-hearted use of other things time and energy and self, for instance. If you are about to start any venture, whether it be getting up an entertainment, winning a man's love or going into business for yourself, remember that half a loaf is better than none applies to getting, not to spending, and go about it in a whole-loafed way or not at all.
Children at Play Wko Met Deatk Beneath Heavy Steel Mixing Box.
A COURT'S COMMENDABLE ACTION. Judge Virgil S. Reiter, of the Lake superior court in Hammond, is to be commended for his decisive action in ordering Bailiff. Agnew to eject the six young men who filed into the court room yesterday for the purpose of hearing the revolting testimony of little Edna Hoin in the trial of Edward Winters. ' It is enough of an ordeal for a mere child of Esda Hoin's tender years to have to recite all of the shameful details of her seduction to the court, and those who business it is to hear and record that testimony, without subjecting her to the morbid gaze of half a dozen grinning idiots and filthyminded fellows whose only occupation 6n life seems to be hunting opportunities where they can listen to licentiousness. It would be better if such trials were, conducted in chambers so that only the judge, the jury and the court attaches could hear the testimony, but if that is impracticable the action of Judge Reiter in barring young men, who plainly, had come to be amused at the .tragedy of a child's downfall, was a proper and fitting rebuke.

The Political Whirl in Indiana
TAKE AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW. Even if the Indiana Steel mills are laying off a few men, take an optimistic view of the situation and don't feel discouraged. Gary, the past year, has had unbounded 'prosperity, while other cities' began to feel the effect of the slump in business early... , '
In these columns yesterday was nublished the fact that a mimhr nr
new men were taken on yesterday and, according to the mill officials this will take place from time to time. While those who have been let go are common laborers on construction work mostly, Gary doesn't feel the loss as much as if it had been the higher salaried men. The conditions at the steel mills at Gary won't, it is believed by mill officials, continue long as work in certain departments,, especially . on construction, is being rushed. Whether the approaching election or the railroads In holding back their orders has brought on the conditions is not known, but Gary is not the only mill town that is suffering from a slackness In business at the present time. -, V
