JONES SHOULD BE BOOSTED The project of the Merchants' Light crage system on the canala, rivers and lakes or the Calumet region is deserv ing of the support of every businesi man In the region. Should such a line be . established and prove to be successful it would be the greatest stimulus to water way development that could be devis ed. Uncle Sam does not take any thing for granted. The people of the Calumet region may argue the need of rivers and har bors until they -are black in the face and all the satisfaction they will get out of the government will be thi nueBtlon: "Does the shipping on your rivers, harbors and iakes warrant the expenditure of a large sum of money for its development?" In the past the people of Lake coun V 1 " . a ... . iy nave neen stumped wnen this question was put to them. ShiDnine? Why no, we hare no shipping; simply because the water in the river and canal is so shallow that nothing but a small boat can navigate them and the bridges ver these waterways are so seldom turned that it takes half an hour to get one of them open after the bridge tender has been located. But the establishment of a lighterage service would remedy this. The lighters could navigate the shallow waters and might force the railroads and municipalities to maintain bridge tenders to keep the river open to traffic. Navigation, the Rip Van Winkle of the Calumet river, who went to sleep twenty-five years ago when scores of craft made Hammond a port of entry, may now waken, stretch his stiff old limbs, look about him and remark: "How things have changed." Captain Stephen Jones" project means the opening of navigation on the Calumet river. It will mark the beginning of a new era in the industrial development of this locality. HITTING THE DODGER. The county fair season is over, but we still have the African Dodger "in our ml j as the country editor says. The trust is the Dodger. Everytime one sticks its head up somebody fires a brick at it. . . Is it doing any good? Well, let's see. The Sugart Trust was indicted and the case is still pending. The price of sugar has increased nearly 100 per cent. The Window Glass Trust has been haled into court and fined $10,000. Window glass is higher in price than ver.

The Beef Trust has been sued crim

inally by the government, and the price of beef is on a war-time basis. The Tobacco Trust has been dis solved, and the price of tobacco is Just where it was before the disso lution. The Wire Trust, the Lumber Trust, the Paper Board Trust and the Bath tub Trust all have been prosecuted, and the price of none of their products has beea reduced. The Milk Trust suit is pending, and milk is from u cent to three cents higher per quart than formerly. Butter, in the face of the prosecu tion cf the Butter Trust, is higher than In any fall in years. Prosecutions and investigation are perfectly loveiy to read about and dis solution is delightful, says a contemporary, but who pays for the enter tainment? We do, good friends, each of us. We pay moro for everything we eat or wear and then a little bit more for tha trust-busting entertainment. If it wasn't so serious it would be the giggle of the centuries. OH, HOW THEY LOVE US I A certain contemporary in a neigh boring city has cut down its editorial department from two column to one column measure. If the proportion of Its importance were kept up, it would also be set in six point type. Gary Tribune. Thank you, very kindly. THE . HUNGARIAN PULITZER. With the death of Joseph Pulitzer on Sunday there passed away one of the greatest editors of modern times. Coming to this country penniless he died the owner of a St. Louis paper and the powerful New York World. He left a fortune estimated at sixty millions. By birth Joseph Pulitzer was a Hungarian. We have many Hungarians within the confines of Lake county. To what high spheres of influence they may rise is illus trated In the career of this poor Hungarian youth, who achieved such high fame. There are a lot of young Hungarians in thi3 region and perhaps twenty years from now the country will hear of some of them. We are hearing of some of them now as a matter of fact. FAVOR ALDRICH PLAN. There is no class of men more "thor oughly in touch with the financial needs of the country than the bankers. Consideration must be given them at all hazards when they advocate a system of monetary policy, notwithstanding that their critics decry their alleged bias in favor of banking interests. So that when the bankers at their recent meeting in Indianapolis go on record as favoring the Aldrich plan, their words are entitled to some respect. The Indiana bankers said: "Resolved, That it is the opinion of the Indiana Bankers' association, in convention assembled, that the suggested plan for monetary legislation presented by Senator Aldrich to the national monetary commission, as amended by the executive council of the American Bankers' association, at the Nashville meeting, embodies in its main outlines a satisfactory remedy for the exiatlng deficiencies in our banking system, and that we earnestly recommend to the senate and house of representatives the adoption of a bill containing the essential features of this plan at the earliest possible date, and before the necessity for such leg islation shall have been forced upon the attention of the country by the recurrence of such a financial collapse as it is designed to prevent." ' A resolution was also adopted approving a universal system for numbering the banks of the United States, as recommended by the executive council of the American Bankers' association. RAW MATERIAL. The states that are experimenting with the initiative referendum, recall and other new political wrinkles will furnish good raw material for legislation in the more conservative states later on. There is excellent reason for believing that in the course of time these reforms will be general, Just as the direct primary has become all but universal throughout the union, but they will be improved in a number of respects. For instance, in California the other day the people voted on twenty-three amendments to their constitution- and manlfectly it was im possible for them to vote with a great amount of intelligence and discrimina tion on such a multiplicity of proposi tions. The number of laws to be considered by the people at one election should be limited, says the Crawfords ville Journal. NO REFERENCE TO SEX. Woman suffrage has made startling progress in the past year. Newspa pers have scouted the movement, but it can be ignored and scoffed at no

longer for woman's suffrage has come to stay and that fact might as well be accepted in dealing with the problem from the first. There are those who deliberately refuse to give woman suffrage a fair show. It is not a question of femininity, as a contemporary says: "Voting has no more reference to

sex than eating a pigeon pie or riding on a trolley car. There was a time when knowing how to read and write was considered by masculine conserv atives of that day and generation a rather unfeminine accomplishment, and even now there are those who regard a woman who knows a little Latin or Greek, or who has mastered the mysteries of the binominal theorem, as being a bluestocking." THE Commercial clubs of this coun try are of the opinion that the best medium for advertising cities is in the newspapers. This was the verdict of the recent national convention at Louisville. We desire to call this to the attention of the Commercial clubs of this section. THE esteemed Crawfordsville Journal published in the Athens of Indi ana the seat of that fine old institu tion, Wabash college still clings to "thru" and "thruout" with the despera tion of a hungry dog to a bone. THE health authorities advised that diphtheria is prevalent to an alarming extent through the state, will do well to watch sore throat cases with the utmost caution. EIGHTEEX-year-oId girl is coming from Great Britain to preach in this country and reduce Billy Sunday's price for saving a soul. THE beauty about a village band is that it doesn't have to meet for rehearsals. It can start in giving concerts right away. TOLEDO Blade says that "roasting chestnutp looks like cruelty to worms." Well, they are better roasted than raw, are they not? PRICE of canned goods is to be very high this year. Thank goodness they can't raise the price of fresh air, or they probably would. A GOOD time to talk repairing the roads of Lake county is after taking an extended motor trip over them on a muddy day. THE Mexican revolution seems to have started Just as it ended if, as reported. 130 people were killed the other day. HARD for you to tell when somebody moves In next door whether it is somebody lying low or nobody flying high. THE world unrest has reached the Orient and some hub-bub is resulting.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. DREAMS THAT COME TR'JE. Professor Pane of Chicago hns figured out a way by which some day flying machines will go to the nearby planets. Startling? Not necessarily. Oarret P. Serves, the astronomer, has written an article on "When Shall U o to the Monl" It will be many moons, pmbnbly, but Bote what Serviss says: "The great public has little regard for dreamers. Nevertheless the dreamers always lead the way. Day dawns where they point, though they may be in the-lr grarea lonx before the sunrise.". Dreamers lead the way. They die, but their dreama come true. They see visions where we ee nothing. They are optimists: we ire pessimists. Tbey believe In the miracles ot discovery; we are doubting Thomases. Where we see only the end they see the beginning. Is it not so? When we were told that the X ray wns able to penetrate the interstices of matter who of ns believed the time would really come when a . machine would be able to take the photograph of a man's skeleton? It was a dream come true. When it was announced that messages conld be sent by wireless methods through the air we had found a wire so necessary to our thinking that the new way was at first unthinkable. But the dream was realized. When the newspapers first told tbat the Wright brothers were able to stay up in the air for the better part of an hour In a heavier than air machine who supposed that within a year or two At wood would fly from St Louis to New York? The dreamers did not doubt it. Who would have believed fifty years ago that it ever might be possible to graft one man's leg on another man's stump or that a man's heart might be taken out of his breast and fixed as you would fix a clock? When shall we go to the moon ? Someday! There are more things than are dreamed of In our philosophy. The philosophy of tb dreamers is as much greater than ours as their faith la greater.

DEMOCRATS MY DELAY STATE CHAIRMAN ELECTION

May Decide to Wait Until After Convention Is Held Before Electing Their Leader.

TIMES BIREAI-. AT STATE CAPITAL Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 31. Ther is a likelihood that the Democrats may not elect a state chairman fn this state 'until after they have held their state convention next year. This kind ot talk is being indulged In by some of the Taggart Democrats, and since they are the ones who will organize the state committee and control the entire party machinery next year It Is regarded as a fact that such a plan will be followed. Just why they will follow this course Is not known, however, because Taggart usually does not lose any time In effecting an organisation and taking charge of the party machinery- early in a campaign. The men who are talking of delaying the election of a state chairman give as the reason that the state officials ought to have something to say about the make up of the next organization, but at the same time the candidates of the state ticket also ought to be heard as to their preference. This Is what they say, but it Is not accepted as the real reason for the delay. It Is believed that the real reason is something that Is not yet made public. It is believed by most Democrats that all of the Democratic state officials who are up for re-nomination next year will j be re-nomlnated. But, it is pointed out that it is by no means a certainty that such will be the case. It Is said tha. there will be other candidates for some of the state offices, and that some of the present officials will have to fight for renominatlons next year. This. j seems hardly probable, however since it has been the rule ever since tlirtate was born to give a state official a chance at a second term If he wished it. One well known Taggart Democrat in speaking of the matter of delaying the election of a state chairman said: "You can count on It that this plan will be followed. It will not do any harm for the party wait until after the state convention to o tnis. inn Democrats can go right ahead and complete their organization with the exception of the state chairman. They can elect their precinct committeemen all over the state, elect their county jCiiairnien, ami men .nvy con cicct incir aistrici committeemen, . wno win ue members of the state committee. That wilt make the organization all right, and the present chairman can then call the state convention and make all arrangements for it. The present state officials are well satisfied with .Stokes Jackson as state chairman, and with Fabe Owln, of Shoals, a vice chairman. If Jack3on cannot come back from Washington to look after things Owln can attend to it, and this will satisfy the state officials. THREE HIRLED FROM AITO. Frank Hoff, Everet White and William Cooley of Terre Haute were badly injured yesterday . when they were hurled from an automobile at the west end of the Wabash River blrdge. E. R Brown, owner and driver of the car, was trying to avoid another vehicle and when he turned out the wheels of his car became locked. The sudde.1 stop hurled the four mea over the wind shield

HIGH SCHOOL "FIRED." THEY WERE. i . . 'and a parade In which elghty-one. , i. ti. Practically all the- older students at and they fear that their term of the suspension would stick for some "The plan has been talked over with Taggart and he thinks it will be all right to plan it that way. When the state convention has been held and the ticket has been made up It will then be easy to elect a state chairman, for the state candidates will then determine whom they wish in that position. This Is the first time that the Democrats have had the state offices at the opening of a campaign, and it changes the usual method of forming an organization all around." The strange thing about this proposition Is that Taggart has always opposed delays in completing the organization of the state committee, and It is hard to understand Just why he would agree to a change in the plan this time. But strange things are happening In politics these days, and there is no telling what Taggart or anyone else-, wiil do in politics. .Taggart Is expected to be in Indianapolis in the next lewihiQ'. and he will probably have something to say on the subject. The Democrats seem to be rather up in the air for a man for state chairman, anyway. They have talked of Fb-3 Gwin, the present vice chairman and there Is a strong belief that he will b j choseh. He is a strong Taggart follower. Then there has been talk of John Osborn, of Qreensbu. Osborn wa.i district chairman of the Sixth district until Decatur county was taken out of that district at he last session ot the Legislature and added to the Fourth district. This leaves him a member of the state committee but without a district to represent, and It leaves the Sixth district at this time without a member of the committee. Another man whose name has been used many times in connection with the state chairmanship is Peter J. Kruyer, of South Bend. Kruyer is the Thirteenth district chairman, He was elected to that position while he still lived at Plymouth. Since then however, ho has been appointed superintendent ot the branch of the state free employment bureau at South Bend, and he now lives In that city. Kruyer Is a Taggart. man of the first water, and it is possible that Taggart may decide on him as the right man for the place. Then there has also been talk of Edward O. Hoffman, of Fort Wayne, for state chairman, but it Is not believed that he will be In the race, because ths next chairman will be a Taggart man, and Hoffman Is too closely associated with Steve Fleming, of Fort Wayne, to be satisfactory to Taggart. Hoffman U for Governor Marshal! for President, loo, and this will not aid him any toward getting the support of Taggart for state chairman. Hoffman Is regarded here as the best man in the bunch for the place, because he Is a young man full of energy ami he has had good political tralptag under Fleming, so that he knJjy the game. But Hoffman would not su't Taggart. The Taggart Democrats are talking freely about their plans for .nc organization of the state committee. They do not make any "bones" about the fact that they propose to take over the organization next year. They tell how they are going to effect their organization in the counties and In the district, too.
