How aeltlona, friend, great ftrood man Inherit Hoior or wealth, with all fata worth aad pain! It sound like stories from the laad of spirits. If any man obtain that which he merits. Or aay merit that which he obtain. For home, dear friend) renounce thla eanttnjC atraln. What wonldst them hare a iod (rt man obtain f Place, till, aalary, a gilded chain Or throne of oorsea which his sword hath alnln, Greatness and soodnesa are not means, but ends. Hath he not always treasures, always friend. The goad great miin f Three treasures love and light. .And calm thoughttt, regular as Infants breath And three firm friends, more sure than day and night Himself, hi Maker, and the angel Heath. SAMIEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE.. HARBOR ALWAYS AWAKE. Indiana Harbor, always accustomed to do things on a big scale and yet do it In an unostentatious manner, is about to make the other cities of the Calumet region sit up and take notice again. The Commercial club of that city, comprising the enterprising hustlers of both Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, las arranged what will be the most important civic function held In the district for a long, long time. Vnited States senators, congressmen, federal, state and county leaders are to be guests at a banquet given at the South Bay hotel on Nov. 10, to which Invitations will not be turned down by those who like to be ranked with the people who do things. The Importance of these public events to growing cities cannot be over-estimated. They indicate a Bpirit of progress, vitality and growth, a desire to conquer and lead and a zeal to put the best foot foremost, laudable in the extreme. Indiana Harbor dur ing the past ten years has made its presence in this region felt. It intends to take a back seat for no one. More power to its good right arm! ESTIMATE OF MISS BROOKS. Miss Virginia Brooks has now been in the public eye long enough to en able the average person to form a pretty good estimate of her. In the year or more since this newspaper Introduced this young woman to the ' world as the "Joan of Arc of Wes Hammond" she may be said to have "worn well." After THE TIMES had discovered Miss Brooks and printed its exclusiv story about her she received so much attention in the newspapers over the country that Bhe was accused by many . of being nothing more than a cheap notoriety seeker. But Miss Brooks did not seek the . publicity she got. It came unsolicit , ed and Bhe did not avoid it because the know that by attracting attention to herself she would attract attention ' to her cause. The young woman who came to re deem West Hammond mado some mistakes, but they were always mis tftkes of the head rather than the heart. She proved to be "devoted to tbe cause she espoused. And gradually Miss Brooks came to have the confidence of the citizens . of . Hammond and West Hammond Hammond business men encouragec Miss Brooks because they had prop erty interests in West Hammond th , m-oded protection from the greed , glutton grafters in the village hall. , Others supported her up-hill fight because of purely philanthropic m tives. After Miss Brooks had w itcessed the defeat of the gang ia as
soBsment and other fights, and knew she had them on the run, she found that there were lots of people willing to.corue to tier assistance. Nobody wants to be identified with a failure and so Miss Brooks knew that she would have to mate good or quit. She made good an4 bow her enemies are ready to quit. The new settlement project which Miss Brooks has started in West Hammond for improvement of conditions there gives her' a headquarters for her operations. It makes the movement she represents an institution and not a personality. It is hoped that it, too, will prove to be a success.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT. They had a tag day recently in Kokomo. The Tribune was asked to write, a card of thanks to the people for giving up 1.500 to charity, and says: "We have been asked to say some thing complimentary about the people of Kokoino for the donation for the sake of charity. We shall decline to do so. The people deserve no thanks for availing themselves of what was so manifestly a privilege, and they don't want to be thanked anyway. A man who thawed out ten cents or a quarter or perhaps a dollar Saturday purchased the right to look at himself when he shaves. He has also purchased the knowledge that some kid will have shoes this winter who might otherwise have gone barefoot. If that isn't enough, value received for his dime he is entitled to his money back." NOT KNOCKING ON WOOD. We judge by this time that nothing short of Woodrow Wilson's Yiolet-like and shrinking modesty keeps him from coming out in the open and mentioning that he is a candidate for something. GARY BOOMING. ' - i - vawicu uum iuq -government's steel trust dissolution suit would make Gary a dead number should have read yesterday's account of industrial conditions. Instead of any mills shutting down another blast furnace was placed In commission giving the plant the hiEhest iron production In its history. The xle mill qnce more has its wheels turning and an axle mill only runs when there is a great influx of steel orders. All of the rolline mills nee busy as are auxiliary departments. Today there are more than six thousand and three hundred men on the payroll of Gary work's which is hundreds more than were employed a year a ago. And, the fact that the railroads have postponed placing their orders until they could hold out no longer insures a .healthy run of business for some time to come. NOTICE that Chicago newspapers have started to fuss about whether the town will have a charity ball or not this winter. The reason Is ob vious. They can't find any other opportunity of running Mrs. Potter Palmer's picture. THE "Rev." Billy Sunday is now aeroplaning and at St. Louis paper says: "Th evangelist has now -ac quired such weath, however, that It will be necessary for him to ride a camel when he starts towards heaven and the needle's eye." SINCE . that - meeting of "progres sives" (Heaven save the mark) In Chicago, Gifford Pinchot has rather relapsed into what Grover Cleveland was wont to call "innocuous desuetude." AN exchange points out what it considers monumental gall "to ask for the publication of a card of thanks gratis in a paper in which he doesn't read." UP to the hour of sliding the last form on the steam table there doesn't seem to be any concerted effort to land Mr. Lafollette in Lake qounty for a few sizzling speeches. SOUTHERN tourist travel is going to be very heavy this year. A stormy winter may be anticipated then bv those who leave this fine clime. WE have yet to find out why the price of coffee has advanced, seeing that there is no duty on it in the Payne tariff law. Perhaps some kindly democrat can tell us. ' ABE Martin wants to know what has become of tho old-fashioned ministers who parted his hair on the side? There is no parting there anymore. IT is hard to find ewn standing room on the first page these dajs.

In order that his patrons might not be disappointed In not being able to see a show at the Princess theatre last night on account of the burning of a lilm. Manager Patrick Reilly telephoned to Ike Van Ruckel of the Central Film company and asked him to send out a new film as quickly as possible. The fire occurred at noon, but by the time the evening performance was ready a new film of the same subject as that which had been advertised, "Lost in the Jungle," was In Hammond and was shown to the audidence. This is a record-breaking feat in view of the fact that the Chicago film man had to go to Sellg's factory in or der to get th film. The film was a new one that had never been used before and those who saw it say that it was a wonder. Two Good Attractions. The Orpheum theatre will have two splendid attractions for the later part of the week. The "County Sheriff will play to matinee and evening crowds on Saturday and "Merry Mary," a first-class' musical comedy, will be seen at a matinee and evening performance on Sunday. "The County Sher iff" is a melodrama for which popular prices will be charged. Chance for Recovery. Word from St. Margaret's hospital this afternoon reports Joe Kelly in about the same condition as yesterday and very little change has been noticed. If he does not take a change for the worse the doctors still have hopes for his recovery. Royal League Meets. Secretars" Graham of the national board of the Roya'l League lodge, addressed that order at its weekly meeting in K. of P. hall las-t .night. Sixteen Initiations took place. All regular work was dispensed with In order to give over the entire service to rpeeches. Up and Down in I N D I AN A GREWSOMB HALLOWE'EN JOKE. The motormen and conductors of the Cincinnati, Lawrenceburg & Aurora electric street railway at Lawrenceburg went up against an old Halloween trick under a new guise Tuesday night. A crowd of men and boys dressed up a "dummy" in a fashionable suit of clothes, and selected the. darkest part of Walnut street to carry out their rz (!
LOO
; trick. A pole painted ' black was attached to the. "dummy," and when a car came In sight the "dummy" was "walked" from the curb to the tracks, the (uncertain motion of its well-stuffed .legs and arms giving It the appearance , of a drunken man. "
FALLS DEAD IX STREET. Wesley Dunham -of Anderson, age Ofty-four, fell dead of heart trouble in I West Ninth street, within a block of his j home, about 2 o'clock yesterday af ternoon. He had been an invalid for sevj eral months, but was conductinng a small business, to which he was re- , turning from luncheon. He leaves a family of three. He Is the father of Ediward Dunham, of Indianapolis, and the son of the late Wesley Dunham, Sr.. the- first mayor of Anderson. COFFIN LARGER THAN DOOR. On account of the size of the hand carved heavy oak coffin selected for tho burial of the body of John W. Price, of Marion, age eighty-nine, whose death occurred atMils home in Franklin township Sunday, It was not posslI ble to taka the coffin through the doors of the house and the body was placed in jits outside the house after the funeral pervlces were held yesterday afternoon. 'Mr. Price weighed more than two huntdred pounds. i COSTLY HALLOWEEN JOKE. At the lull of Halloween festivities Wednesday morning on of a crowd of rompers hurled a stick of dynamite 'against a business block belonging to the Zeiler & McClelland Coal Company, at Knightstown. The structure was demolished. Residences in the vicinity felt the force of the shock and it was I though an explosion had occurred In one of the nearby mines. The building was In bad repair, was unused and had become an eyesore. No effort has been made to arrest any one connected with the affair. IDENTIFIES BROTHER'S BODY. Mrs. Linda Hlller, of Union City, Ind., who has Just identified the body of a man found on a farm near Decatur, 111., as that of her brother, Robert Gorrls, says her first Information that the dead man might be her brother came from a woman who gave her address as 3233 AVest Michigan street, Indianapolis. Mrs. Hiller says the Indianapolis woman called her by long distance telephone and said a man answering the description of Gorrls had been found . near Decatur. She said he had boarded with her. The body found near Decatur had been Identified by two men as that of

SOCIALISTS CARRY TICKET. Although the town of Eaton, with 1'500 inhabitants, twelve miles north of Muncie, contains only about enough Socialists to fill out a municlDal ticket, there Is "grave danger," ac cording to other voters of the town who have come to Muncie to consult attorneys about the matter, that the entire Socialist municipal ticket there will be elected by default, owing to supposed Irregularities in the nomina tion of the People's ticket recently. There are no party tickets In Eaton
