THE INERTIA OF THE STEEL COMPANY'S MILLIONS.

Inertia Is defined as that property of matter by -which it tends, when at rest, to remain so and, when in motion, to continue in motion in the same

straight line or direction. Money represents power. The forces field are not measured by kilowats, but

that when the United States Steel company decided to spend $100,000,000 in

the Calumet region in Indiana it loosened a force of such marvelous poten

tiality that no one could estimate its ment of the region.

Already enough large industries have located in the Calumet region to support a population of a quarter of a million. And the last census showed

Lake county to have a population of It was the Inertia of the United

can Bridge company, the American Locomotive works, the American Car &

Foundry company and others ot monstrous size.

It was the inertia of these same millions which resulted in the building

of the coke ovens, the Kirk yards, the Bufnngton plant and which induced the railroads to spend millions of dollars in tracks and equipment which

would take care of the enormous freight which will soon originate in this

locality. And the Inertia of these millions

This measures a single week's development. It does not take into con sideration the building activity In the region, which amounts to $1,500,000

tbe building and extension of street car and interurban lines, street and other municipal improvements and the scores of other activities resulting

from the feverish industrial growth of the region. And the impetus for this great industrial development was received from the first $100,000,000 that the United States Steel company spent In this region. It is true that other influences have worked in favor of the industrial development of the Calumet region, but it is the power of money that is responsible for such marvelous progress and which makes the future seem so roseate.

VETO THE PATCHWORK BILLS. If the people who profess faith in President Taft, who bank on his Judgment and who believe ha Is safe,' sane and conservative and yet at the same time want him to sign the free wool, free cotton and farmers' free list bills, will only think a minute, they cannot fail also to see that the sole purpose of the democrats in pushing this legislation at an extra session, where nothing but reciprocity was to be considered, is simply to play politics first, last and all the time. Their sole object is to put the president in a hole and shovel dirt oyer him afterwards. The democratic object now is , patent it Is to embarrass President Taft. There is nothing clearer than that. Business and ' industrial interests can rest assured that there will be economic unrest in this country just as long as the tariff is a Joseph's coat of many colors a crazy-quilt affair. It would be far better to await the tariff commission's report and do the job right instead of making botchwork of it.

A CAR BUILDING CENTER. Not long ago a TIMES editorial told that the Calumet region is rapidly

becoming a car-building center. At

on Improvements, the Cudahy people announced their intention of building a refrigerator car work at East Chicago and the Ha3kell-Barker com

pany of Michigan City started on a department. Yesterday's news contained the

comrany, independent, had purchased from tbe United States Steel corporation 201 acres in the heart of industrial Gary at a consideration said

to be more than four hundred thousand Inasmuch as it ia the known

give a deed to industrial concerns until it is quite definitely established that they will build and that they are going to do so soon, the transfer must be viewed as one of the most important transactions of the year. The car and foundry company now has plans completed for a $10,000,000 plant which

will eventually employ 6,000 men.

Railways will now have to purchase coaches and a conservative esti

mate of the amount they will have to dred million dollars. Without a doubt the forthcoming and their continued use in the future this time.

RANDOM THINGS AND F LINOS

THE Pennsylvania had a little Monon luck in that Indiana Harbor wreck on Sunday. SOME people have to be always chattering about themselves. They can't afford a press agent. HAGUE is not the only peace pro moting city in the world. "Look, at Reno" points out an exchange. WHERE can you find an optimist like a good baseball catcher. He al ways takes things as they come. ' MAN 69, years old went over Ni agara Falls in a barrel. Somebody said there is no fool like an old fool. AH, yes, it is much easier to sneer at the other fellow than it is to keep up with him or even get anywhere near him. RAILROAD official has advertised that nobody is to trust his wife. Gee, but there's a lot of strict economy now-, adays. ' GEIDEL, the 17-year-old New York murderer, was a hat and coat boy In a hotel. We never liked those young grafters. AND in the future his nobs, Wickersham, will probably come to be known as the man with the longest mustache in captivity. YOU don't know what real pent up enthusiasm is until you have attended a ball game between two Northern Indiana league teams. , SHEFFIELD avenue is such a disgrace to Hammond that many of its citizens blush whenever anybody uses the word Sheffield. BEFORE West Hammond can be nicely received by her sister cities around here, she will have to get rid of those infamous houses. MAYOR Gaynor says there is a much wickeder city than New York. We ,hope that none of our 'steemed citizens will look self-conscious. THERE are plenty of people around here who have axes to grind, but you bet your sweet life they are always ready to let the other fellow turn the grind stone. THERE are mothers who keep their little girls in short' skirts showing about two feet of gangle-shanked legs for no other reason than to seem young themselves. DON'T cheer lads! Perhaps the Lorimer investigation may have bne good result. It may induce Kern to give up a little informatl6n about the Mysterious Bribery Eight." . MICHIGAN man says worst habit known is the wearing of clothes. At some functions you can readly see that some of the ladies are not afflicted with this bad habit. BREATHES there a man with soul so dead who never to himself has said. I'm going to cut out those baseball games if some of those fans don't cut out their coarse work?" CONTEMPORARY inquires: Would it not be a good idea to elect one-half of the senate to Chautaqquas and the other half to congress, just In order to distinguish which is which? TIME for some esteemed Lake county citizen to get his name into the papers by declaring that he was the first boy old Doc Wiley ever licked when he taught school at Crown Point. RENSSELAER Republican has a story "about an auto driver who went thirty-four miles in one hour and fifteen minutes. That is considered slower than the Erie milk train up here. A- ' THE Eldorado Times so far forgets itself as to refer to one of the prominent Citizens of the town as "Eldorado's chief bon vlvant and raconteur." Well, they are not as bad names as might be used. BY the way, did you ever stop at a hotel where some bloomin' amateur photographer was always using the bathroom to develop his plates in? Duluth News-Tribune. Well, we've hesitated at such a hostelry, but never stopped. - INDIANAPOLIS News says that "Judge Gary's guiding hand Is missed from the steel business and advises him to hurry back from Europe. Not knocking the judge, but his lusty Infant a few miles east seems to be doing better than ever.

By that time the police, called by the neighbors, arrived and persuaded her to desist Insanity proceedings have been brought against Win mmtn. NEEDLE FOR LOCATING TREASURE. John Melinger Of North Salem, Hendricks County, Is the owner of a scientific aparatus called a "prospecting needle," that Is said to locate gold and other precious metals accurately. That it works successfully was proven some time ago by it locating the burled gold left by the late Hartman Billy Robbina, a wealthy farmer, that might never have been recovered had it not been for the employment of this valuable la' strument. Mellinger had a tip while in Texas recently that there was- more "pay dirt" In the vicinity of North Salem, and he haa since been endeavoring to oleate it.
