Senator Albert J. Beveridge In striking and, brave speeches In this great region last night, showed how unwavering he can be in his fight for the
rights of the common people yesterday. The immense crowds who heard
him were infected with his enthusiasm and the election of legislators in
Lake county, nledsed to return Beveridere to the senate, is cinched and
double cinched. The people understand now that the senator has come and
gone, that Indiana's fight is the nation's fight. The words he spoke for
Congressman Crumpacker, where he touched upon the congressional fights,
and his clean arraignment of Mr. Peterson, showing the fallacy of any ex
pectation that the democratic candidate could do anything to help the fight
against corporate Interests in face of the democratic combine at Washington, was without parallel in its convlncement. When Mr. Beveridge finished the people were not confused. They understood. Their minds are made up.
It is the republican party for them next Tuesday.

GARY'S CENSUS ANNOUNCED. Sixteen thousand eight hundred and two.
This is Gary's population according to the government's official figures.
That many souls were in Gary April 1 of this year. It is now seven months
since that date. Gary is fifty-flve months old. Consequently the span be-
tween that time is equal to one-eighth of her whole life and assuming that
the population has grown on the same equable basis nearly 19,000 now make
their homes in the Steel City.
In 1900, when the census takers of this section of Calumet township
trod the sand dunes in search of the dozen families that lived near the Penn
sylvania depot, little did he dream of the magnificent city that would be in
that wilderness ten years later.
Now that the 1910 census is announced predictions are in order as to what it will be In 1920. The guesses will be wide and varied. We will be
conservative and shall place it at 150,000. Of course if in the meantime

Beveridge Expressions. The watchword of our mutual peace, ' prosperity and power is brotherhood. ' One characteristic of progressive republicanism is that it puts country and humanity before party or person. Progressive republicans fight for definite ideas of human welfare, so are attacked by the forces or organized greed. The whole present -tendency of the so-called democratic organization is reactionary look at Taggart in Indiana and Murphy in New York and the dark influences behind them. . We propose to save the farmer's prosperity and decrease the cost of
living by' a. just and honest tariff
builded on the facts, and by preventing over-capitalization of railroads.
As a human being, the workingman
"cannot be treated like a mere com modity, to be used only for his efficl
ency, regardless of what the laborer
gets out of life and regardful only of
the .work that can be gotten out of
him.
The national eight-hour law must
be extended so as to cover work done
for the government, directly or indi
rectiy, so iar as national law can
cover it.
Men whose sole strength and entire time are taken by toil have not a fair
chance to develop that citizenship
which is the nation's hope and salva
tion.
Satisfied laborers do better work
than those in whose breasts burn the
fire of resentment.
, The idea of the laborer as a human
being, carried out in laws and con
duct, will solve thel abor problem.
Scientific experiments in Germany
last year proved that the factory la
borer produced more in an eight-hour
work day than in a 10-hour work day. The railroads fought the employers'
liability law; now they see that it
was a good thing even for them.
All of the noble laws for labor passed in the last ten years were opposed
and fought, covertly or outspokenly, by
reactionaries of both parties.
The next immediate reform in the
interest of Justice to labor is the end
ing of the possibility of the abuse of
injunctions in labor disputes.
Child labor must be abolished
wherever floats the American flag.
Hundreds of thousands of little American children are having their lives crushed ou of them by precisely
the same kind of unspeakable toil that destroyed English children a century
ago.
There is something wrong about an industrial system that permits such
inhumanity. ,
Since I began my fight against the
infamy (child labor) my chief support has come from organized labor and the
good women of the country.
Gigantic interests will do anything
and everything to defeat the law and the men and women who are fighting for it; they are doing everything right
now to defeat me for re-election to
the senate.
All the American laborer asks is that our tariffs shall be honestly and accurately measured by the difference between his wages and foreign wages. 1 If a democratic candidate asks you to believe that immoral rates in our tariff were made by republicans only, ask him why democrats made no real fight against such rates last year.
BAZAARS HARD ON CANDIDATES.
The multiplicity of bazaars in the Calumet region, all in progress sim
ultaneously, or very nearly so, have so infringed upon the time of the vari
ous candidates for public office, who are in duty bound to show their faces at each and every one, that at least in one instance the church fair for the
time being resolved itself into a veritable political meeting.
St. Patrick's fair in Indiana Harbor has observed this innovation, to the intense satisfaction of the candidates themselves, who thereby have secured
an audience for their oratory which it would be hard to corral by the regula
tion methods. On one night the republicans were given their Innings and
the next night the democrats had theirs.
This certainly was a novel scheme and should have proved as well a
profitable one. The ladies in charge, bless their souls, were thereby enabled
to fall upon their victims with the consciousness of having given something
In return for the change they were so politely requested to keep. They had
given ear to campaign oratory, which nine out of ten of them would have
done by any other plan. Moreover, they had loaned their husbands' and sons'
ears to party preachments.
Unlike the old saw, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make
him drink," the audience was not only led to water, but had no choice but to
drink more or less.
ONE EXAMPLE OF INDIFFERENCE.
The light regard of the people of the Calumet region of the respectable, the representative, the presumably law-abiding for official mandate, is exemplified in the almost total absence of observation of the terms of Mayor Becker's recent proclamation regarding the muzzling of dogs. There may be a few who have paid attention to the proclamation, but it is a safe guess that not one in a score of dog-owners have gjven the slightest heed to the mandate. This, in spite of the urgent necessity for the issuing of the proclamation, following as it did, the biting of a number of people by various dogs, believed by medical authorities to be afflicted with rabies. There is no telling how many dogs were bitten by these same animals which communicated the most feared of all diseases, to the human victims, but so lightly apparently, do the people of Hammond hold their own lives, and the lives of their neighbors, that they do not deem It worth their while to go through the simple performance of placing muzzles upon their dogs. There is a great to-do over the infractions of law and order, when foreigners, who are strange to this country and ignorant of its laws, commit crimes, or fail to observe the statutes and ordinances laid down for the guidance of citizens in their conduct toward each. However, when Americans, and Americanized foreigners of intelligence, set such a example of contempt for official authority, what can be expected of new-comers?

The Evening ChMChat
By RUTH CAMERON
The problem of how to go away to
the' country to recuperate and yet stay at home to save your purse, was re
cently solved by two young friends of
mine in a rather interesting and suggestive way.
The young folks are a doctor and his
wife. His wife was run down and
needed country air. But the doctor's purse was also run down.
It was one of the hardest cases he
ever ran up against. But he arose to
its lever with an ingenuity that ought
to bring him as many patients as he
can take care of. .
Although they live in the heart of the town, there is a section of high, wooded land about two miles from them. It is a very beautiful spot, and people continually remark on the purity and freshness of the air on this little pine-studded hill. Mindful of this fact, the doctor has driven his wife out there every morning before he went on his rounds all summer long. ' He establishes her comfortably with
a lunch, and then goes back to his a lunch, an dthen goes back to his work. Later in the afternoon he goes out and brings her home. Has it really done her much good? Well, I just wish I could publish a before-and-after picture of her. Why isn't that a good idea for any one whose purse and health are simultaneously out oif gear? Of course, not every one has a carriage or just such an ideal spot, but I don't believe there are many people who couldn't manage to get themselves dally transported to some healthy spot.
