SHOULD WIDEN STREETS NOW.

Eleventh avenue in Gary is the gateway from the city to Tolleston and

Hammond. At the present time it is so narrow that two street cars could hardly pass. On account of its being the route of the most Important branch

of the Gary & Interurban-line it ought to be widened. Broadway is & mag

nificent conception and is destined to become one of the remarkable streets

of the state, but one's impression of Gary, as he enters it, is that some of the other streets must have been narrowed down considerably to provide

ground enough for the construction of Broadway.

Undeniably the greatest growth in Gary is to the westward, where the subsidiary plants of the street company are located, and to provide for this

growth and guide it into the main artery Broadway, a number of intersect

ing business streets will have to be built. Fifth avenue is one, Eleven&h

avenue is another, still another might be located at Fifteenth, Twenty-first

and so on. But these streets will have to be made wider than they are at

the present time.

The only serious inconvenience la widening Eleventh avenue would be

to the property owners oa ths first two blocks west of Broadway. The rest

v.ould be easy. But this work must be done now or it will be forever im

possible. Other cities in the Calumet region are lamenting because they

ctarted out with narrow streets.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS

A BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.

THE TIMES today celebrates its sixth birthday and enters upon an

other volume with the utmost satisfaction and viewing the circumstances

and conditions of the past year with perhaps an excusable complacency. Its bona-fide gain has been greater than the entire circulation of any other dally paper in this corner of the state. The volume of advertising business done in the period has shown a steady Increase over all hitherto yearly statements. The Improvements in the paper, its appearance, its achievements and the news service modesty forbids mentioning. That Lake county is blanketed every night with THE j TIMES is due only to the fact that its attitude on public policy, its unremitting warfare against individual and collective deeds of darkness have endeared it to the law-abiding people of Lake county. The publishers' plans for further Improving the paper and maintaining Its prestige in the coming year are impressive and announcement of them ''will be made when timely. THE TIMES upon its sixth birthday, wishes to express its thanks to the multitude of friends who in many ways have made It possible.

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED Is it possible that the unusual quietness on the part of Colonel Timothy

W. Englehart and other Ridge road boomers is due to their having gone

into the dumps because they have failed so far in their efforts to get South hooked up with the "loop" district by means of a trans-river street car line? Although franchises have been granted. Injunctions issued with a free hand, aldermen hauled Into court for contempt, tracks torn up and others laid, money spent and oratory given out by the column the net results have been nothing so far. Usually the Itidge road contingent are a noisy but an enthusiastic lot.

II they have calmed down they are not to be blamed. They have moved

heaven and earth to get street cars, but somehow or other their efforts have

been fruitless. But they neednt give up hope. Another attempt to get street car service might be a winner. Gary needs street car connections

below the Little Calumet and now is time for business.

THE UNITED BUNK ASSOCIATION.

We note with considerable amusement a United Press dispatch in a

contemporary that "LA FOLLETTE IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESI

DENCY AND IS ALREADY ASSURED THE SUPPORT OF ONE-THIRD

OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION."

How a news-getting agency can expect to peddle such guff to gullible

clients is inexplicable!

To Bay that LaFollette or any other man "has already been assured support of one-third of the republican convention," when no delegates have

been elected, Is absolutely ridiculous. If the Wisconsin fanatic is a candidate, it is about as Impossible to fore

tell how muph support he would have as it is to tell how many flies will be

born on the Fourth of July 1912.

WHERE are you going this year, if

anywhere?

JUST think of it, they had sleighing

in Canada last week.

AND how much joy it does give you

to read that it was hotter somewhere

else.

IT was by no means a quiet Sun-

day in the customary noisy quarters

either.

AN actress recently jilted an Eng

lish aviator. He then sure did "go up

in the air."

BE cheerful. The shadow of an

other super-heated political campaign looms .up as big as the broad side of a barn on a 640-acre farm.

PEOPLE who do any thinking about

Gary election cases and the Valpo trials should remember that a stream

is no higher than its source.

j COLONEL Bryan is talking about The Passing of Plutocracy." Yes,

just like the famous march of 16 to 1

and the militarism two-step.

IN the Gary election case trials at

Valparaiso, the eld quip about "it's be

ing easier to start something than it

does to stop it." seems to peter out. WOMAN suffragette is still climbing mountains in South America. Seems

as if she ought to be able to make a

little money on the Bide painting signs. WE have yet failed to observe, how

ever, where Governor "Princeton" Wilson has shown himself to be very

much "peeved" at any man who in

troduces him a3 "Our next President." -

BEGINNING RIGHT. Harold Durrall of Boston Is wise. A

graduate of Harvard, sun of a wealth

man, society favorite and an athlete who made a record, be has taken his

place behind the counter of a small suburban grocery store to learn the

business. Clad ln the clothes of a

grocer's clerk, he Is learning how to sell goods and tie up bundles.

"W-h-a-tr said bis friendi. shocked. Harold Durrell clerking ln a grocery

store! why should he do such an erratic thing?"

But young Durrell Is not erratic. lie

is Just a kecu. wide awake, level

headed sort of chap, unspoiled by for

tune.

However lie admits his course la rather ono-

sual for a young man so favored. But he says a man cannot begin business at the top of the ladder, and he is determined to show that college life has not unfitted him for serious effort.

Also he is gritty. It is said of him

that he Is of strong will power, and whea he sets out to do a thing, whatever it may be, he usually ends with

achievement. And he is thorough. He says to know a thing welt at all one must know it through and through. Therefore he must begin with the alphabet of the grocery trade to qualify for the position higher up. Wis young Mr. Durrell! His father, a retired jobber, also began at the bottom of the ladder, and. although he wanted his son to do something else, he could not discourage the boy by reciting the hardships Incident to the long apprenticeship one muat go through to master the grocery business as it should be . mastered, as any business should be mustered. It la pretty plain that If in his college life they got his bead up among the stars his feet remained planted on the ground. Many a college graduate's head is "swelled" by his education, and he has failed because be insisted upon starting at the top. Like young Theodore Roosevelt, who in order to learn the carpet business began as a factory apprentice, so young Durrell begins at the beginning.

Wise youth!

Connersville, of Orange township, Fay

and others said he was a Baron Munchasen. Rivers has traveled extensively, and his stories of adventure bordered on the remarkable. He never pretended, however, to have performed any such feats as Opie Dildock brags about, but the town lads took him for an "easy mark." and succeeded ln wounding his sensitive feelings to such a degree that he finally fled. Rivers is of Spanish parentage. 9IEGRO ATTACKS LITTLE GIRL. While walking througm McCullough Park, at Muneie, the city's public park, early Saturday evening, on tha way to the home of an uncle, little Pearl Piner, the 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. Ida Piner of Whitley, was attacked by a negro, whose identity has not been learned.
