A TIME TO HALT. . '
The fact that death has entered into the intense rivalry between the two
factions of the union electrical workers in Gary should bring the' opposing sides to a sober realization that some of the tactics that they have used
must end. In this case the blow has fallen into their own ranks.
Young William Howard, who passed away yesterday at the Mercy hos
pital following his shooting last Friday night during a mixup of the fac
tions, gave up his life because his fellow workmen did not see fit to obey
the laws. When it is taken into consideration that human life has been
taken, the situation begins to take on a serious turn. Not only this, but the
shooting of Howard causes suffering elsewhere when one thinks of his
parents and kinsmen.
The murder of Howard brings this conflict home to every city in the Calumet region as well as Gary. The troubles in Hammond have become
notorious.
The electrical war Is a matter of general regret, both in and out of labor circles. True unionism, as well as "the public generally which has no affliation with organized labor, deplores such strife as has characterized
the electrical workers relations.
Shooting, assaults and violence of all kinds, tend only to weaken un
it r ionism, both with the members of the unions and with all classes. The
thing for the electricians to do, is for the warring factions to get together,
talk over the situation In their sober senses, with a flag of truce on txjth. sides. With the bitterness engendered by friction, eliminated for the purposes of argument, it Is altogether likely that harmony would be established. A" good understanding generally results in a peaceful adjustment of difficulties. The trouble between the warring factions of the electrical workers is one of long stand, but the public Is not generally versed on the Issues at stake. The main feature of the incident seems to be the question of authority, which is being thrashed out by the rival officials in an onslaught of bitter personalities. It seems a pity that all classes of labor, engaged in the building trades, to say nothing of contractors and the builders themselves, should suffer while this needless strife is engaged in between the Reed faction and the McXulty faction in the electrical workers. The Illinois miners did well, and showed their good sense, in protesting before the St. Louis convention of the fedesation, against permitting the anarchic conditions to continue between the warring factions, demanding that the federation make a ruling by which the electrical workers will have to abide on pain of expulsion.
If the troubles between the factions of the electrical unions must continue, they should devoid of disgraceful shooting affrays and physical contests. Following the shooting of Howard a second man was shot shortly after which goes to show that the first incident had no restraining effectNo doubt the death of one of their number will now bring the warring workmen to a realization that further disturbances Will only result disastrously.

love her still. Note that we said

INTERESTING TO EVERYBODY. That portion of President Samuel Gompers' annual address before the American Federation of Labor at its opening session in St, Louis on Monday, dealing with the establishment of trade schools, is Interesting not only to every union man, but to every one who has the education welfare of the youth at heart. His remarks are particularly pertinent to the cities of Lake county, inasmuch as the spirit of progress has anticipated Mr. Gompers, and those who advocate vocational training in connection with mental equipment. Mr. Gompers said in part: Conservation is one of the topics uppermost in the minds of the American public today, but there is one phase of conservation which is not receiving the attention which it deserves: -I refer to the conservation of the brain and brawn of our American youth. Our. school systems are givig only a one-sided education; the boy may go to school and prepare himself for professional or commercial life, or he may drop out of school and enter a trade with no particular preparation and become a mediocre workman. Training r of the brain and muscle must go together for the complete preparation of men. While the public schools and colleges aim only at teaching professions, the greatest need of America, educationally, is the improvement of industrial intelligence and working efficiency in the ' American youth. We. need an educational uplift for the work of the boy who will work with hishands, and 'we not only need to give an educational uplift to craftsmanship, but the school needs the help of the" workman and his better work in education. We should realize the interdependence between our common education and our common in- ' dustries. . This can be effectuated only by a system of industrial schools, differentiated from the manual training schools, which shall actually . train workmen for the trades and at the same time give them -x broader mental culture, .

ftft COMMISSION government must

the fight is started the better.
ONE can't like people who are always running others down either with gossip or with an automobile. ft A CONCERN that steals 1,000,000 gallons of water should get jerked up the same as any other petty larcenee. MR. Taft will be pained to learn that Mr. Roosevelt called at the White House while he was on the isthmus. ft INCIDENTALLY" neither Hammond
nor Gary need do any bragging about
their importance on the criminal docket.

THE coming of the state board of

trepidation.

ft IF some people were as confident
about .having turkey in the house
next Thursday as they are about things political, they certainly wouldn't
go hungry.
. - SO fathomless are the stratae of
misery into which some people are
plumped now and anon that about all they can say is, "In the lowest depth a lower depth awaits me.
THIS agitation about paper money
being full of bacilli, doesn't excite
half as much interest with us as the
announcement would be that bacilli

YES, indeed, as the Ohio State
Jiurnal says: "The trouble is that
every time some official scoundrel gets iff on a technicality he goes blathering
around about his triumphant vindica
tion and demands another term on the
strength of it." ft
THIS sounds ridiculous now. You
remember it in the New York Herald:
"Nevertheless, and in spite of all that has happened, the World makes this prediction: Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated for the governorship. He will be nominated by acclamation. He will be nominated apparently against his will." " .

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
IS IT FAIR.? Yes, he Is a bum. There is no mistaking his sort. Blotched face, bleared eyes, cringing pose, in a whiniag voice he begs you for a dime to buy a sandwich when
you know It is a drinkthat he wants.
If he gets your -10 cents and another or two," that wllf be enough to make him comfortably drunk. Somehow he will get more cheap whisky after awhile, and then he will be dumped into the police wagon along with other refuse humafcity. Wretched body of death! And yet do you know that vag is your brother disowned, but a member of tbe family? Disinherited for his fault, discarded by his tribe, wretched, undone, nevertheless he belongs to the man family. You see. he may have been unfortunate beyond you. Or the road be traveled was rockier than yours. Or his start was uneven. Or he met with an accident by the way. Perhaps John Bunyan got the right of it. Pointing to a staggering sot, he said, "There, but by the grace 6f God,
goes John Bunyan."
It Is in order to ask what the family
is doing for its weaker brother. Well, it license the saloon keeper to sell
him stuff that steals his brains, "pays a policeman to beat him over the head
with a club, hires a judge to fine him
and pays the jailer a price to feed him
on bread and molasses.
What? Is that all the family does
for one of the family who is sick unto death with the dread disease of alco
holism?
That is all.
Some day perhaps we shall be wise
enough to devise the proper handicaps.
You know what a handicap is, say. in
a race? The least able to run is al
lowed the start of the other contest
ants because of his inability. The oth
ers are handicapped.
We recognize the justice of handi
caps in our sports, but not in real life.
If that bum who whined like a dog for his dime was "born short" or became lame in his mind by the way we put tbe handicap on him, instead of upon ourselves, abler to win is that fair?

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
Doubtless most of you have read in
your newspapers within the last few weeks of the death of America's grand old woman, Julia Ward Howe.
And by the obituary notices you were
doubtless reminded of Mrs. Howe's having written the -Battle Hymn of the Republic," and of her great services
to the cause of abolition.
I happened to have the great honor
of knowing Jiriia Ward Howe and of
being occasionally received into her
home, and I want to tell you the thing
that impressed me trie mosi about her.
And that was, not the work that she had accomplished, but simply the won
derfully beautiful old age which the quality of her life made possible for her.
You cannot often say "beautiful old
lady" and really mean it. You could of
her. I never saw a young woman who gave any more pleasure to the eye than this exquisite old lady as she held
sway from her "Throne Chair," as her

She almost -always wore a lavender
gown and a white lace cap 'beneath which her white hair was parted and drawn softly back. Her hands and face looked as If they were out of ivory. Thomas Lawson, who paid her a beauti
ful tribute at her death, called her -
Dresden china figure. She always made me think more of lavender, ivory, old lace, and things of that sort.
But the really beautiful thing about her wast he wonderful expression of that old face. You see, Mrs. Howe had never
stopped really thinking, never ceased being interest in things. She has had
a large family and done her duty by them. A lovlier family of children and
grandchildren' you could not hope to see. But she has always had time to be interested in the outside world, to study, to read, to be thoroughly alive. Mrs. Howe was ninety-one when she died, and yet up to her last illness she wrote a little every day, read a little Greek and Latin, and practiced at her piano. Last spring , there was some question about the purity of the milk the Boston babies were getting, and it
was Julia Ward Howe's pen and presence that aroused the public in this serious matter.
There is a little story about a portrait of Mrs. Howe, which her son-in-law
John Elliott painted, without which no
tribute to her is complete. It seems to me this illustrates her greatest service to American women. This portait. which represents Mrs. Howe sitting In her morning room reading, was exhibited at her son-in-law's studio In Italy. Queen Margherita, who was at the exhibit, was so impressed by this picture that she would scarcely look at any other. She asked many questions about the. original, and as she was about to leave came to Mr. Elliott and said, "You tell me that this is a portrait of a distinguished old woman of your country, but I tell you htat it is a picture of old age as it ought to belt seems , to me it isn't what Julia Ward Howe wrote or her work in the abolition cause that markes her such a great figure. If la more the quality of her life a life ripening into old age that deserved ouch a tribute as that a life which stands as a pattern for that which, without neglecting her home or children, a public spirited woman's life ought to be.
