If Congressman Stanley, head of the congressional committee, probing into the steel trust, gathered any incriminating evidence as a result of his
visit in Gary yesterday he kept the fact to himself. The officials expected
Interrogations and the congressman probably expected to find things alto
gether different. Both: sides were surprised. The chances are that Mr
Stanley went away highly impressed with what has been done in Gary. Mr.
Stanley may have -been disappointed in Gary for he is a bit of a sensa
tionalist himself and Miss Gary was certainly on her good behavior yester-
riar. The stieT-prober should have dropped in on us quietly if he had de
sired a few thrills.
WHO WILL TAKE IT THERE?
West Hammond needs to be taken to the laundry and left there for
Beveral weeks. The conditions there are indescribably shameful and shame
less. West Hammond once had a somewhat ancient libertine for a mayor
and he made the village as notorious as the "Black Hole of Calcutta." There
is no change since then.
Port Said is declared to be the wickedest place in the world, but West
Hammond, for its size, can give Port Said quite a number of pointers. Some
of the officials who run the town now are trying to equal any official record
ever made across the line. State's Attorney Wayman, he of the big wind
permits all these things in the meantime, and though fully empowered to put a stop to the carnival of vice in a city of 5,000 souls, he Just laughs in
his sleeve at it all. Poor West Hammond.

THE WONDERFUL ANIMALS OF GARY.
The outside world must believe that Gary is a place where the animals
do odd things if the Associated Press dispatches are to be believed. During the past month we have read about the snakes in the public library that drank up the alcohol in which they were to be preserved and got drunk as a consequence all of which provoked a two-column editorial from the Hearst papers and, gave Gary free and widespread advertising in the vicinity of Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. A little later we read about the bobolinks going south over the Little Calumet marshes three weeks earlier than usual which nieanj an eariy winter. Then last week an eagle, six feet from tip to tip, was killed east of Gary. Two weeks ago the mosquitoes were so numerous at Aetna that they were using fire flies as searchlights to see in order to get through the screen Intertices. Not long ago Mike Zellibor's hen at Miller upset the old adage
that the early bird getu the worm for the foxy-hen every night at ten gets under the electric light in front of Zellibor's place and eats bugs roasted and on the wing. ' . . : Last week it was told that a South Garyite's cow was subpoenaed Into the city court, an incident which resulted in several newspaper cartoons on the possibilities that' might arise if other animals were served with papers Yesterday there was an account about the Miller snakes in the sand cars frightening the switchmen &t South Chicago. Of not so late a date a rat in the switch board tied up tie Gary steel plant for an hour, fishes in the intake stopped the rail mill and the Michigan Central locomotive taking water on the fly became so clogged with minnows that the train came to a dead stand still.
If these wonderful little animals make newspaper readers laugh for
their absurdity, they also perform another function. They get Gary a whole lot of free advertising and keep the city constantly in the public eye.

VOICE OF?
Even such a simple thing as the moving of a piece of furniture from one room to another is made the oc
casion for innumerable objections. Life" with such a person is Just one long obstacle race. At the Btart, the wife or daughter or husband, or whatever relative bears the brunt of the situation, may take the obstacles gallantly, but by-and-by most of us who are not gifted with, superhuman energy begin to slacken. Some simply give up the race and lapse into a weary quiescence. A few, like the spirited race hore. drop dead in their tracks. Th epitaph for such a one should read, ''She died of objections but she died game." The strangest thing about the whole matter to me is that so few, especially of the women, ever seem to think for & moment that this state of affairs is anything else but Inevitable. One would expect them to , realise how simple life would be if there were no one determined to make it complex, and to protest with vigor, but they seldom do any such thing. . Personally I am Inclined to think it would be better if they did realize and did protest. There might be some of the objection raisers sufficiently decent to be reached by a plain talk to be made to see how much unhappiness they caused, how much of other people's energy they wasted. Surely It would be at any rate an experiment worth the trying. RUTH CAMERON.
ABOCT THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.
To the Editor: In a newspaper sev
eral merchants are quoted as to the cause of high " prices of foodstuffs.
Among other things it was claimed that the cost of delivery and carelessness In ordering on the part of consumers make it necessary to charge a higher price. Now, the man who takes his market basket, goes to the store, buys, his goods over the counter for cash, and carries them home, receives no njore consideration than the one who oTders ten cents worth of cheese, over the telephone, has it charged anj wants it delivered. The former must help pay the
expense of the latter. The writer recently had occasion to buy an article of furniture, and visited several stores. In every Instance the salesman quoted a price for cash and a price for credit account, the former being a liberal discount. It was explained the difference in price was for cost of collecting, bookkeeping, interest oa investment, etc. And so it Is in many other lines of business. Why not In the retail grocery business? Why not give a liberal cash discount to tha consumers who save the merchants the expense of delivering, collecting, bookkeeping, bad accounts, etc.? Perhaps the dealer figures that the more extravagant living encouraged by
up for this extra expense. Not having any data on this subject'. We do not know that such is the case, but it does seem very unjust that the careful and considerate consumer should have to pay for the carelessness of others. A CONSUMER.
IN POLITICS
Newport Is the first Kentucky city to try the commission form of government. . . The late Senator Frye served In congress continuously for over thirty years. Congressman Rodenberg of Illinois has accepted an Invitation to deliver the Kansas day oration at Topeka next January. Edward Freeman, editor of the Pine Bluff Commercial, is a candidate for the congressional nomination in the Sixth Arkansas district. Tacoma would like to have the democratic national convention meet In her new stadium, which has a seating capacity of 30,000. United States Senators Gore of Oklahoma and Martlne of New Jersey are to speak at the democratic outing at the Trenton Inter-State fair on Aug. 23. The "wets" have begun their campaign to have the question of local option submitted to the voters of Oklahoma this fall. The state is now statewide prohibition. Adherents of Governor Woodrow

Hampshire laying plans to capture the delegations to the democratic national convention for Wilson. In the Maryland primaries next week Philip Lee Goldsborough, who holds the position of internal revenue collector, will receive the republican nomination for governor without opposition. The Illinois Equal Suffrage association is planning an automobile tour Which will begin at Danville, Sept. 11. nd terminate in Chicago a week later. Members of the association will speak In the Interest of equal suffrage at all cities of Importance along the route. The prohibitionists will be the first to arrange for the national campaign, having- decided to choose the date and place of their convention the- 6th of next December. This will probably be the only party to begin the presidential activities of 1912 In 1911.

The passing of Senator Frye of Maine means that Governor Flaisted will name a democrat to fill his unfinished term, which will expire March 3. 1913.
