There will be a large number of people in Gary who will be glad to know
that Attorneys Matthews and Bruce were, lor the once, wrong in the premises
on their proposition to make Gary "dry" or practically so.
Some time back these same resourceful attorneys discovered a plan to
make" Gary "dry" under the township local option law. That time their
plans carried, although it was in direct opposition to the wishes of the ma

BE PATIENT, LITTLE CLARKE!
Do yon ever read the Clarke news usually printed on page six in
.THE TIMES every evening? If you live in Gary you ought to know what
Is going on in Clarke.
Clarke is Just three miles due west of Broadway If you follow First ave
nue, which is yet a street on paper. The South Shore "interurban cars pass Clarke road to the south and the Lake Shore road intersects it on the north,
and right through the place runs the Pennsylvania railroad. Being on the banks of the Grand Calumet, Just where they are the prettiest, has long
made Clarke a famous summer rendezvous even before Gary was thought, of.
Clarke is now a part of Gary, but no one would ever think it. It was annexed a couple of years ago. At the time Clarke lost Its independence, it was like a lone state in a big county it was entirely surrounded by Its younger but fast growing sister. When Clarke had Its own government
It still has its bwn postofflce and postmaster it was one of the municipal!
ties of Indiana Just like any other civic community. But since it has been annexed It is merely nothing more than 1-4S0 of Gary's area. In other words
the city of Gary is now territorially 480 times the size of the once town
of Clarke. Probably not. one In ten persons In Gary know where Clarke Is. True enough they have heard of Clarke road, because you get good fish
dinners at the lake's tub end of the thoroughfare.
But last night the correspondent at Clarke had a complaint. The Gary police department took the lone officer from the hamlet and now the people are complaining. The correspondent also said something about there being no telephones available In case of emergency. Clarke, you know, is one of the few communities in the middle weBt without this modern necessity. If Clarke Is neglected now everybody will hear from it soon. The American Bridge company's Gary plant is at Clarke and within a few months the press will be carrying the news that the first unit of what is to be the largest plant of its kind in the world, will fabricate steel. Then Clarke will surely get on the map. Not many years ago, as time goes elsewhere, Rev. Ball of Crown Point, the historian of the county, wrote that, you could hear at Clarke the roar of Lake Michigan a mile and a half away. But that day is gone. If you go up around Clarke in the day time now you will hear the screech of scores of locomotives from all sides, the gattling gun noises of growing mills and i the "ye-ho" of the gang foreman. Every town has its day. Clarke is to have it soon and before long it will be right in the center of Industrial Gary.

FEAR. IS EVIL. This is the suggestive picture of a modern painting: Some savages stand with upturned faces gating at an eclipse of the sun. The sun is partly in shadow. The weird light reveals the terror written upon every face. The picture is named "Superstition." The savages are frightened at the shadow; of a shadow passing over the sun's face. Fear of something, they kneyw not what, makes life a fearful thing. But. come to think of It
Civilized man is little better in some respects. He. too. . is frightened at shadows. His fear is as foolish as that of the savage. He works himself Into a mental state where be loses bis head;
the. fear becomes contagious, and The "panic" is born.
The panic Is mostly aggregated pessimism. A group of men get the idea that money Is going to be tight and
Interest rates high. They confide their fear. By and by men agree that the
outlook Is gloomy. It becomes gloomy.
Credit disappears. In abject fear the
panic spreads. Men say, "Money Is scarce."
It is not true. There is as much
money In existence as usual. None has been destroyed. Nevertheless, nnder the monstrons fear of what may be,
"hard times" appear.
Fear is an evil thing. It makes the
civilised man s victim almost as help
less as the superstitions savage. It destroys confidence. It sows distrust. It paints a shadow on the face of the
sun.
Could we banish fear we conld put
civilisation ahead a thousand years.
Could we cat out pessimism there
never would be another panic. .
Therefore the duty of all who love their fellows and desire the progress
of the race is plain: Preach optimism. Practice it Let not pessimism and the fear of what is not have dominion over yon. Does the shadow of a shadow appear over your sun? It is only a shadow and will rapidly pass. Laugh at the shadow. Laugh out loud! Laughter is contagions, as fear la contagions. Fear cannot live In the atmosphere of laughter. It Is in your power to laugh at foolish fears and make the world laugh with you or to cringe and cry oat your fears and make the world afraid.

BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS. "A short life and a merry one" seems to be the motto of some of the young men of Lake county, of whom more serious aims might be expected. Since the grand Jury was in session, a number of scandals have come to light, not only as bearing upon general conditions and Involving public officials, but relating to Individuals in private walks of life. The region was scandalized by the report that one young man who re
cently inherited a considerable fortune, wiping out a large proportion of his
inheritance, by gambling and profligate living. It seems a pity that young men who have every opportunity to get on in life, should choose a course at once so usless and so productive of the scorn or at best the pity of those whose opinion counts, as some of them choose.
They yearn to be "good sports." They realize too late that after their
money is gone, they are no longer "good sports." And the training they
receive while so classified, is not one which tends to make men of them
after they have been plucked.
What the young men of the present day need, is a little more respect
for those who are older and wiser than themselves. That every man ten
years older than they are, is not necessarily an old fossil and a back num
ber. That the world does not change a great deal in ten years, or even in
twenty years, and that a man who has ever "been through the mill" knows Just as much of the world as the young blood who is in process of being
jjut through it, and a little bit more.

It was not until two, years later, how

pieces paved the way to a still greater popularity to be won during a ong engagement at the Gaiety. This engagement lasted until 1884, during which time the actor was seen In a
number of well known plays. Mr. Terry opened his own theater in Lon
