WOMEN AS A POLITICAL INFULENCE. While the so-called "strong-minded woman" is generally acknowledged as a person to be avoided, there is a tendency, on the part of womanly women to get too far away from some of the hobbies that are ridden to death by women who try to act like men. Many women fall into the error of believing that they, should leave politics absolutely sacred to the men of their households. This is' the result of the penrnicious example set by the strident-voiced, and mannish-mannered lady who of late has graduated from the style and title of the "advocate ot-jVVom-ann's Rights," to the "suffragette." As a matter of fact, there is a place even in politics for the thinking woman. There is no necessity for her going outside tb "sphere" of the most womanly of women, to wield her influence over, tae destinies' of govern

ment. There are questions which by nature she ,iould understand far better

A TTMVT V MAtrr

The other evening when the Gary common council called for bids on fragettes to bake for a prize. We the South Broadway and Ridge road sidewalks, Timothy W. Englehardt, a stand ready with an entrant for roastproperty owner in the vicinity, submitted figures. On the Broadway project, ing contest. which is to be sidewalked from Ridge road to Forty-first avenue, a distance of one-half mile, Englehardt's figures were $8,521.91 as compared with the TOLLESTON seems to be obliged high bidder, the Cain Construction company, which wants $10,523.50. This to get along with one alderman, but Is a difference of $2,001.59 or 20 per cent. , he will probably be able to bear up Englehardt's bid was accompanied by a certified check of $2,500 while under the burden. but $280 was necessary. This shows that he means business aC the outset. : As his bid is the lowest, the cotncil cannot do otherwise than award him A GOOD moving, picture of, Candi-

iue joq. - . - ,i . v date Winker paying his. poll-tax after

The Englehardt bid does not represent any desire to go into the con

tracting business. Englehardt handles real estate and has been eminently I successful. His bid -merely-represents a protest against the extortionate prices which property owners have been subjected to in connection with their assessments. In the ordinary course of events the Broadway improvement Job would have gone t6 the Cain Construction Co., as O'Brien doesn't stand in favor with the council for some .reason, or, other, a cause defying the analysis of those who are not worldly wise. - As the case now stands Englehardt has the bid, his figures are the lowest, and he has attested his sincerity with the certified check required. ; Assessment payers who have, to be plain about, been mulcted of thousands of dollars by the Gary contracting ring, should study this case carefully. On a $10,000 job a prospective assessment payer can come In and underbid the Cain Co. by a margin of $2,000. With regard to other Improvement projects if a few more otside cootractors can be induced to bid on Gary work, similar savings might be . complished and perhaps thousands of dollars, vhich now go into the con

tractors bank accounts, would go to the people. It takes a long time for a dollar to earn 20 per cent and that's what the south side people will save

on every dollar If the Englehardt bid Is sustained.

For a long time property owners have not only been suspicious, bat

know by expert engineer's advice that Brother A. F.'s Gary Construction company and its "twin sister", the Cain Construction company, have been

getting more for work than was a fair profit. Not only did the old town

board, but certain members of the city council have kept these "twin sisters' well supplied with fat contract to the elimination of other bidders and a

the expense of the people, who pay the bill. . . Nowcomes the Englehardt bid exposing the rotten high rates and showing that a $10,523.50 Job can be done for I3.52l.dl. It is merely the flrfit concrete expression of a protest against fgh assessments and more protests will follow.

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 the 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 he happened to be, and no one would know it. Eight men were purchased and the second ballot went through. I received thirty-six votes and Benjamin F. Shively, atttorney for the brewers, wa3 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 liefore 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?
