DAWN FOLLOWS FOUR YEARS OF NIGHT

Early In October, 1907. after a period of unparalleled prosperity, the Knickerbocker Trust company of New York failed and precipitated the money panic which finally closed many of the Industries of the country( The result has been slackened industrial activity ever since.This was four years ago next October and TIME is the theme of this editorial. In the four long years since this memorable incident there has been a change in the national state of mind. THEN PROGRESS RAN PELL M ELL AND UNGUIDED TO THE DEAD STOP THAT WAS CERTAIN TO COME SOONER OR LATER. Speculation was rife. The best business heads of the country overestimated the powers of consumption of its 90,000,000 people. New factories were built and others were enlarged. Capital, which is more conservative than industry, saw impending disaster. Saw that the toboggan had been hauled to the top of the hill and was about to make a sure and rapid decent to the bottom. Money became Vtlght" and investors, taking fright, refused to follow the pace any longer. With enormous amounts of capital withdrawn from the use of industrial enterprises there came the necessary retrenchments in business all over the country. THIS WAS FOUR YEARS AGO. Now conditions are entirely different. The national state of mind has changed. Conservatism has replaced extreme radicalism. Hundreds of wildcat enterprise; have been eliminated by the law of the survival of the fittest. That the manifestations of this change have not been more violent 13 due to the fact that basic conditions have been good. Four years of bounteous crops have done wonders. The balance of foreign trade has been in our favor. And now that the country is sufficiently chastened the work of rebuilding the business of the country on a firmer foundation has begun. More optimistic reports are being heard every day. FOR FOUR YEARS THE RAILROAD CAMEL HAS BEEN LIVING ON ITS HUMP. In all that time its rolling stock, its rails and Its terminal facilities have been depreciating in value. It is estimated that the railroads of the country must have 1,000,000 new cars to bring the standard of their equipment up to that of 1907. The time ha3 come when orders for cars must be placed. Recent figures show that over a billion dollars has gone into new enterprises In the first six months of this year. This shows unmistakably the increasing confidence of the business man in the future. FOUR YEARS OF UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE ENDED. The future is roseate and the prediction is freely made that this fall will see conditions prosperous and next spring prosperity will be more in evidence than it has ever been since the high wave of 1907.

A WORTHY AIM. No one is too busy not to assist In a worthy cause. Within a short time tu management of Lakewoods park will set aside a day for the benefit of the Mercy hospital of Gary. All or part of the receipts of the day will go 'into the hospital funds. The action of the park management in this respect is quite praiseworthy. But the mere act of the amusement park people making this agreement won't roll any dollars into the depeleted treasury of the city's foremost benevolent institution. It will mean hard work on the part of a lot of publicspirited people. The women's societies in particular, church organizations and lodges are the ones that will have to come to the front. Every young man in the city should assist and if not by attending at the park purchasing ten-cent tickets will go a aong ways. , The good sisters of the Mercy hospital have never turned away a patient because he had no money. Age, creed, color or money conditions have never been considered by them. Without any resources, save their own energies, they have given Gary hospital accommodation since the early days of the city. It Is a Btriking fact that the first two mother superiors of the hospital, young women in the full vigor of life, gave up their lives as a result of the epidemics that swept over the pioneer city. There Is no Institution in Gary more worthy of support than the Mercy hospital.

ON BEATING A CHILD FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. Our Interesting governor said at Indianapolis, the other day. In pointing out a 14-year-old tow-headed youngster playing with other inmates of the reform school, said: "IF I COULDN'T SPANK THAT BOY INTO SUBMISSION IN FIFTEEN MINUTES I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF A PRETTY POOR SPECMEN OF HUMANITY. THE FREQUENT USE OF THE ROD IS WHAT OUR YOUNGSTERS NEED." Governor Marshall talks very much like a man who has never been the father of any children. Had he any children he would never talk about beating A CHILD INTO SUBMISSION FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. What sort of child would It be after such treatment? There are some singularly inconsistent things about this governor of ours. He would beat a child for fifteen minutes until he had broken its spirit, yet he is OPENING UP THE PENITENTIARIES AND PARDONING MURDERERS AND CRIMINALS BY THE SCORE.

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS THE weather has hit the electric fan almost a knock-out blow. "ANYTHING to beat Governor Harmon"' is evidently Mr. Bryan's theory. THERE never was a city yet that didn't like to be clean after it had tried it for just a little while. . THE more cool weather we have the more the ice trust will feel it there's no getting around that fact. v 4 JUST get the name of having a little money and see how quickly some people in these parts will recognize you. SOME times joining the "great silent majority" is not shuffling off this mortal coil. It is simply getting married. AFTE'R reading attentively accounts of recent aviation fatalities, we love the dear old trolley car more than ever. TEN-round contest next month between Battling Schererville and Kid St. John ought to be stopped by the constables. THE agitation for cheaper rents is stirring up a great fuss. There will be a still greater fuss stirred up if cheaper rents come. S AS We believe it has often been said before, the one great consolation a widow has is that she knows where her husband is at nights. OUR friend, the farmer, with a barnyard full of young turkeys fattening, is also planning to fatten up his bank account next November. GOOD time now to launch the infor mation in your little family circle that seal skin coats are going to be a great deal dearer this winter. WE wish to call the attention of the Gary cops to the fact that the New York police department is studying physiognomic morphology. 4 BILLY Sunday's inevitable rule in life seems to be "get the-advertising first in whatever you do, no matter what it is, but get the advertising." SAID a prominent Hindu visiting in this country: "All the money you send to us would do much more good in America." Think it over, preachers! - TOKIO reporter says that Japanese women fan their husbands all night. Great Nagasaki! If we had only known this before. Now it la too late. e BY the way, why are you chasing around looking for a summer resort Are there many places where you have to crawl under a blanket at night as you have to do here lately? - ANYBODY who thinks that Judge Tuthill has lost all Interest in Lake county Just because he doesn't hold court here any more, ought to Bee the price he is getting for some of his realty holdings here. THERE seems to be a disposition in some quarters to fly to the relief of Dr. H. W. Wiley before he is in danger. Dr. Wiley himself is not at all perturbed and reassuring words of President Taft ought to act as a sedative. Dr. Wiley isn't going to be decapitated, either physically or officially, and all of this hysteria might be spared expression. Fort Wayne News.

He is the son of Prince Napoleon ' and the Princess Clotllde. On the death of the Prince Imperial, who fell while fighting with the British forces In the Zulu war in 1879, when the father of Prince Victor Napoleon held the position of the head of the House of Bonaparte, several of the Imperialist leaders put forward the young Prince Victor as his father's rival. But this move was not encouraged by the non, though the latter, it is understood, was nominated In the Prince Imperial's will as his successor. When the expulsion bill of 18S8 became law, the Prince and his father were exiled from France. For a number of years Prince Victor was an officer in the Russian army. Eventually he will be a very rich man, for, besides his chare in the fortune of his mother, who died a few weeks ago, the ex-Empress Eugenie has made him the legate of $10,000,000.

ieart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN a.. NYE. THE MAN ON THE JOB. The general manager of the road swung off the rear platform of his private car and walked back to the siding where a gang of sectioa men were at work. "Hello, Mike," said the manager. He knew eTery section foreman on the Hue by his first name. "What's the matter here, Mike?" Mike used forcible language in criticising the methods of the construction department lie explained the difficulty and showed bow somebody higher up was to blame. "I'll see about It. Mike." When the manager got aboard his car he dictated some memoranda to his stenographer. In a few days an order was Issued embodying Mike's ideas of reform. It worked admirably. Said the manager to a friend. "If you waut to get at the bottom of things, aslr the man over the small Job." The man on the job knows. The most successful editor I eve knew had .weekly sessions with his entire staff, which meetings he called "brain throbs." Every msn was free to criticise or suggest The Idea of the cub reporter was given as mnch attention as that of the telegraph editor or city editor. The editor utilized the brain throbs of the man on the job. Paid a great Chicago merchant: "I csn learn more from my clerks than from my department heads. The clerks come in contact with the public. They know." It is so in politics. The shrewd political manager who wants to knnT the drift of public opinion pays scrnt attention to the editorial utterances of the big city news papers. He wants to know what the "country editor." the editor of the newspaper In the small city or town or village, is saying. The country editor knows The rule holds good in every department of life. The shop foreman who Is too prond to court the advice of the worker, the farmer who scorns the suggestions of the "hired hand," the housewife who thinks she can learn nothing from her domestic these people make a mistake.

Trouble which has been brewing during the last seven weeks culminated Sunday morning when a mob of from 1.000 to 1,500 men and women attempted to prevent the Rev. Paul Von Kovacs of South Bend, late of New York, from celebrating high mass at St. Stephen's Hungarian Catholic church. The priest escaped Injury only through the foresight of Chief of Detectives Cassidy in stationing a squad of forty-five policemen In the vicinity of the church. Tho officers charged the crowd with drawn clubs the moment the rush for clergyman was made. The result was a riot in which from 250 to 300 Hungarians, were severely beaten. As soon as the police succeeded in arresting the alleged ringleaders and sending them to the Central Station In the patrol wagon the rioters dispersed. t'HAROES PLOT, ASKS DIVORCK. Thomas H. Nelson, who asserts that he formerly was a wealthy real estate dealer of Indianapolis, has filed a suit In the Madison Superior Court at Anderson for divorce from Clara Nelson of Indianapolis.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

"Man never Is, but always to be blest," -Pope. . , "Some of us are always putting off our enjoyments. After while we expect to take a rest, visit a friend or read a book, but that time never comes. All life Is spent In meaning to overtake it, and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toll, drudge and grow old, passing by with unseeing eye the happiness we might get out of every day." It seems to me the first lln of that second quotation might well read "most of us" instead of "some of us." For how rare Is the person who doesn't go through life that way? Some day we must get a chance to look up that old school friend who is living In the next town, we say. Borne day we must take time to read that book that everybody tells us we would enjoy so much. Some day we must get time to go up to the art gallery and look at that beautiful new Madonna, or go to vesper services at the church where they have such wonderful music. And then the days and the weeks and the months and the years of routine living go on and yet "some day does not come." I remember once when I was a little girl, having been put off many times by a promise that I should do this or that "some day" that I went

Lela Kauftman-White, a native of Kokomo, has made arrangements for her funeral, which, she directs shall be held at the Main Street Christian Church, of which she is a member. Mrs. Whlto is a granddaughter of Jacob KaufTman, a pioneer contractor of Kokomo. ONLY IT WEDS THIRD TIME. Though only 17 years old, Mrs. Mary Luther, the bride of Gary Smith, at Shelbyville, has been one of the prin cipals three times In a wedding ceremony. She was divorced only last week from Andrew Luther, to whom he had been twice wedded. The first time she and Mr. Luther plighted their troth at Greensburg through the all of the girl's mother, Mrs. Charles Hoover, who assisted them In obtaining the marriage license. The girl was then only 14. After the couple had liveJ together a year it was discovered that j the man who had performed the marriage ceremony was not a minister of the gospel, as he had claimed to be, and the father of the couple forced them to separate. Young Luther later stole the girl away from her home, and they were married again, the second ceremony being performed at Indianapolis. Recently Luther deserted his wife, and Is now in the regular army. EMBRACES WIFE, DRINKS ACID. Courtland Clark, of Indianapolis, 80 years old, 2139 Pleasant street, committed suicide by taking carbolic acid at his home early last evening. No reason for the suicide la advanced, except that bills were coming due and Clark had been out-of employment for several weeks. Mrs. Clark told BIcyclemen Murphy and Hanks that her husband appeared at his homo early In the evening acting strangely. After embracing her he started up the stair way toward his room. She noticed his peculiar action, she told the police anJ followed. She detected the odor of the acid, but was unable to reach her husband's aide before he swallowed the poison. Fifteen minutes after taking the acid Clark died. Besides the wife, two small children survive. DISCOVERS BODY IN POND. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Hamlt N. Smith, of Rockvllle, 68 years old, a farmer, was cleared yesterday, when his body was found floating in a mill pond. The find was made by Cleo Bardburn, a 13-year-old girl. The coroner said death was due

to my mother and asked her it she wouldn't please set a certain day and let It be "some day" that Is, the day when all my some day promises should be fulfilled. And yet now that I'm growing up and am the master of my own some days. I'm just like the rest of the world I spend much of my life "in meaning to overtake it and enjoy It" I let my some days drift about In a nebulous future Instead of having them today, as I so easily might. Now is the best time to be happy, as well aa the best time to accomplish things. Now is' the time to take that rest, visit that friend, see that picture, hear that music. How dare we leave these happinesses to some day. Why "some day" is a long ways beyond tomorrow, and tomorrow who knows that tomorrow shall ever be? The favorite saying of one of the wisest men I ever knew was, "There Is no such thing as tomorrow." "Let us hold of the happiness of today. Do we not go through life bllndlly thinking that some fair tomorrow will bring us the gift we missed today? Know thou heart; if thou are not happy today, thou shalt never be happy." 1 RUTH COMERON.

MAYOR FINES SELF FOR SPEEDING, After finding two motorcyclists guilty of having exceeded the speed limit in Wabash, Mayor James Wilson voluntarily filed an affidavit astist himself charging himself with a similar offense. Calling an attorney tha executive had the lawyer officially enter a plea of guilty and he fined himself the same amount as that assessed against the two motorists who lingered in court to witness the unusual procedure. "I cant conscientiously flna others for an offense of which I wu guilty yesterday," remarked the mayor as he left the bench. RAIN IN TIME TO SAVE CORN. The backbone of the drought in Anderson was broken yesterday afternoon when the first hard rain In two months fell. Water fell in sheets for almost two hours, and the lowlands along Green Branch and White River are flooded. Farmers say the rain came In time to save the crop of corn, which had begun to show the effects or ex-; treme weather. No losses from 'lightning were reported.
