ON GRAND STAND PLAYING. Our facetious iittle prosecuting attorney C. E. Oreenwald, yesterday aiose in the Hammond Superior Court and Is reported to have said "the trial of a criminal c?se is no place for a show or a grand stand rlay." The utterance of this unquestioned statement of fact leads the distressed people of Lake and Porter counties to believe that our f. I. p. has'at least seen a great white light.

THE Nth POWER OF JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE

Some of these fine days the people of the Calumet region will awaken to the realization that the Gary Post has "scooped" the whole country on some sort of a traction consolidation. Does news seem to be a little scarce? The Post man smokes a yen hok aud forthwith there emerges from its columns the story of a gigantic traction merger. Abdullah! cook another pill! It must be admitted by its contemporaries that the Post now has a corner on the merger news. No possible combination of Interests can take place now that will not entitle the Post to the credit for an exclusive story far in advance of the actual happening. f - . In fact the Post has amalgamated every line with every other line so that if the Gary and Podunk Traction Cd. "should sell 300 feet of sidetrack to the Hesaville and Hosford Park Air Line the Post could rightfully claim that this merger had been reported exclusively in its columns months ago. President Gavit says that the Gary and Interurban Line is not now considering, and never has seriously considered, a consolidation with any other traction line in the county.

The Seaman line may purchase power from the South Shore We, if it ever

arrives at the point where it needs power, but that is the extent of the re-

lationship between these two lines.

nie taiumei unueo railways companies iranemse may be taken OTer

by some other line for the reason that it will never be built by the promoter of the project, but that could hardly be called a consolidation for there is noth

ing to consolidate.

So when a newspaper takes a complicated traction situation like that in Gary and actuary goes to the trouble of figuring out how many different consolidations It Is possible to make with a given number of lines it is deserving of some credit. Here's hoping that the Post may some day be able

to crow over a real traction consolidation scoop. We hereby agree to box

the scoop and run it "in one on one."

"WILL they never turn on the steam heat?" Is the cry of the home.

""Swim ymoothly in the stream of thy nature and live but one man." fir ThomaH Browrve4Dues It not eomHlmeg astonish you, to find how often bright people say or t-tever books express, some nualnt lit

tle thought of-your own that you iiev er dared own up to?' I was walking home the other day from a feathering-, at whloh one girl had kept vis all amused and Interested by the- quaint and funny things he said, and the original schemes she had suggested. My rompanion was a quiet girl, very conventional and not at all original or interesting. We were speaking of the afternoon's

fun. "Do you know," she startled me by breaking out, "Do you khow, lots of those funny things that. -Jane said, I've thought of myself, but I never exactly .dared to say them. And one thing she suggested, I've been on the point of suggesting myself a dozen times, but It seemed so kind of queer that I never did, and everybody was delighted with It when she did." I wonder it more of the difference than we realize between interesting original folks and commonplace, uninteresting people isn't that , the for

mer express thomselves freely, and the latter don't dare to. The natural explanation Is that the commonplace folks have nothing to express, but I wonder If It may not be diffidence, rather than emptiness, that makes them what they are. Of course, there must be much difference In mind between the genius and the commonplace person, but I doubt If it is as great as we think it. Popular people, bright people, cen-ter-of-the-stago people, are those who say and do the unexpected and -Inter

esting things they happen to think of. And the great folks of the world, the leaders, have been those who expressed

themselves instead of trying to do just

what everyone else did. Let yourself out.

Do the unexpected and original things

you think of.

Speak out the quaint little ideas that come to you, just as they come to the

bright people you admire so much. Be yourself, and cease foolishly try

Ing to reshape the individual pattern

If you do, I'm sure other people will

find you more interesting and I really

A PICTURESQUE FIGURE.

Some people believe, and they are right in it, that the mayor of Gary gets into the press of the country more than the governor of Indiana. But Joseph

D. Martin, Gary's police chief out rivals both of them in the publicity respect

Some day, say a half century hence, the historian of Gary going over the

newspaper of day in search of material will find the name of the present police head of the steel city dotting many pages. And "touching on and appertaining to a real live police chief the once pictureque Chief Devey of New York has

nothing on Chief Joseph.
