Oh, aad was the world that be had to leave. Bat nioet did the heart of the children grieve! They have writ hi name their hearta of gold, Aad ever they'll keep bla memory green, Hut they tell each other the tales he told Of the atraage wood folk, by the world unseens For the Teller of 'Tales walk hand ia haad With the children over the borderland!' Anne McQuee NO CHANCE THEN. Gov. Marshall has issued hfs annual Thanksgiving proclamation. 'Tia Just as well, and we are glad that he took no chances on waiting until after hearing the result of the bribery trials at Valparaiso. i WIPING OUT PARTY LINES. We have already commented on the action of the four out of the five Hobart township towns in ignoring party lines in Tuesday's election. Those four towns exhibit a spirit ot progress that is sweeping through many American municipalities. In otUer words, many people who are wearied of the constant failures of municipal government will say that these four little Lake county corporations are far ahead of most cities and that they have already adopted that which larger cities will do later on. It is the ignoring of party lines in municipal government. On Tuesday there were many so cialist mayors chosen. " Over in Lorian, Ohio, a socialist executive was elected. This city is very" much "like our own Gary, Hammond, Whiting or East Chicago. A steel town, it is about the size of Gary or the latter city, it has the same kind of people, ana n nas similar interests. As in other cities the people of Lorain chose the socialist not because the majority of the voters have become identified with that party but

because the old parties had been giv-jtinuous waterway lined with splenen a chance and had failed. In other did industries

cities a socialist was chosen either because he fought the paving brick combine, the traction ring, the gas and electric light crowd, or some flaring abuse. . The people had been deceived by corrupt democratic ringsters or by corrupt republican Tingsters. Honest men of both parties saw a chance to down the rings and choose the socialist party as a vehicle. But the chances are that in time the people will weary if that party continues in power because from what history has shown so far neither the democrats nor republicans can claim any great laurels. Here in our own county we know too well the history of republican government in East Chicago and "the results of democratic rule In Gary. Socialism represents party interests and in the end will give no more satisfaction.

Men from abroad who become students of our institutions, such as Bryce the author of the American Commonwealth, wonder at our inability in municipal government. The past has shown that party rule ia a failure and socialism will certainly be no panacea. Tho best remedy, it seems, is the elimination of party from city and town government and the people of many communities are learning this. So, an observer of events cannot but say that the people of our own Aetna, Miller, East Gary and Hobart'have the moat progressive ideas

wmc uure. ur-j uaic ucuiuusucu party lines and we venture to predict that their new administrations will be tn mngt nffiMunt nnH mof . w vihvivui v w v . a v 111 (JOb economical in the county. Perhaps some of our communities in their efforts to throw off party domination will place the socialists in power. It is even predicted in Gary that such an event will happen during this decade. And should Lake county ever have a socialist governed community it will be no criterion that the party named ia to remain at the head of affairs. It may be that the socialists are passed over in the desire to eliminate party lines but if they should ever mount into power it would be merely a natural matter of course, a handy stepping stone used for the time being, enabling a dissatisfied populace to reach the goal it wishes to attain municipal government not by any party. SUBSIDIZED CORRESPONDENCE. If verification of the subsidized stand that . was taken by the Valparaiso newspaper correspondents in the Gary blind pig cases was needed, reference need only be made to the stories sent out to the world at large that the dictograph and dictograph evidence were barred and ruled out in the cases now on trial. Even the Associated Press was made a victim of this venality. Incidentally, the Gary Tribune, the Gary Post and THE TIMES were the only newspapers that told the truth. AN ENTENTE CORDIALE. Drawn together by a common interest, the development of the waterways of North township, by the leading citzens of Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor last night banqueted as the guests of the Indiana Harbor Commercial club and discovered that there is a strong feeling of friendship between the cities which are bo vitally concerned In the ; development, of their waterways. This spirit of amity was spontaneous and real. It was not the result of a sudden effervescence of spirits. It dates back to the time when the whole of North , township stood back of Hammond in its court fight and to the later time when Hammond and Whiting voluntarily offered to back up East Chicago and Indiana Harbor in the fight for waterway development-Senators John W. Kern and Benjamin F. Shively and Congressman H. A. Barnhart were strongly impressed with the fact that there is such a close understanding between the neighboring cities of North township and that the spirit of hostility that frequently exists between neighboring cities is absent here. The automobile trip from Indiana Harbor to East Chicago, Hammond and Whiting was a revelation to the distinguished guests and they were dumbfounded to note that practically all that divides the four cities of North township is invisible corporate lines. And then when the possibility of developing the Calumet river as a great inland waterway became apparent they declared that the plan is feasible, an dought to be carried out at once. And these sentiments pleased the people of Hammond as well as it did the representatives from Indiana Har or and Whiting as well as East Chlcago. There was not a person present who did not enthuse over the prophecy that the Calumet river from South Chicago to Indiana Harbor, from lake to lake, would h or, r-on. did industries Hats off to the Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago. IT WORKS BOTH WAYS. There was a disastrous flood In Pennsylvania recently. Some gentlemanly criminals were maintaining a deadly trap v hich in due course of time was sprung with deadly effect. You now the story. It is the usual thing in America. The unusual thing about this par ticular disaster is that you did not first learn of it in this newspaper. When the thing occurred The Evening Journal had ceased operations for the day. , " Therefore, the first news of the disaster flniltfarori in tha msti-nin . If the first news had been printed in

The '.Evening-Journal - the news would undoubtedly have been exaggerated. Perhaps a few foolish citizens who do not understand newspapers or the conditions under which the news is printed would have said, "How horribly that yellow journal always exaggerates." What did the so-called "conservative and careful" morning newspapers do with their accounts of this story? The most cautious pf them exaggerated the number of Hied and of bodies found by about 1,000 per cent. Just now official figures state that 27 bodies have been recovered and that 86 are missing. On Sunday morning the conservative New York Tribune announced that between 850 and a 1,000 were killed. The Herald said 850 or 1,000. The Times said 1,000 were dead. The other morning papers of

various kinds and stripes mistreated the facts in the same way. As a matter of fact they did not ex aggerate, they simply gave, as accu rately as they could at the time, the facts as they were believed to be, not by the excited survivors who talked of thousands drowned, but careful. thoughtful, trained news men. We write this so that when some old fogy who reads a dead newspaper talks to you about yellow journals, you may understand that the word "yel low" mea,ns "alive." When anything happens we tell you what has happened as soon as we can. we do not wait until the thing has been published in an encyclopedia. But from hour to hour we give you the latest news and the latest estimate. New York Journal OVER-ENTHUSIASTIC. Sometimes Dr. Wiley, the much-advertised government official, lets his enthusiasm get away with him and becomes impractical. He seriously proposes legislation to drive all factories out of the countries into the open country near the source of supply, so that every work er a family can have a productive nome with a garden about it. "We hear a good deal about rus in urbe, but what we want is urbs in rure. We want to drive the city out into the country. We are going to make life in the country more attracIve. We are going to make the aris tocrats of this country the men who live on the farms. This we are going to do by means of agricultural educa tion. It is the place for exchange. It is the environment of the city which makes the workingman adopt vicious habits. Every cent he spends for alcoholic drinks and tobacco could bet ter be thrown away. It is the condi tion and not the man that is to be blamed. We will never have' better conditions In the cities until we depopulate these populous cities and we can never depopulate the cities until we banish from their borders all pro ductive industries to the country, where they belong. Then we will have an ideal industrial world. Dr. "Wiley's dream of this uptonian project will never be realized and if he is set about it to further an economic scheme of this sort, he will be wasting his ammunition. The esteemed doctor should not bite off more than he can chew in his propaganda for pure food. THE United States is said to lead the world in coffee drinking. Our veteran correspondent, ; Hennery Coldbottle, of Gary, disputes the statistics. Hennery is nothing if not ready to scrap on the slighest occasion. He has been that way ever since he heard that Hanly might run fo. goveronr again. . "DAY unto day uttereth speech and night unto night sheweth knwledge." And we that live today may be wise in yesterday's wisdom and wise In last night's dreams, says a thoughtful con temporary. WE note with a great deal of inter est that a 75-year-old man Is missing. Might be well to look up all the Gretna Greens and watch the marriage licenses. DICKEN'S son says that he was only joking when he said the ankleB of our girls were fat and beefy. He had better take it back in a hurry. AX Indiana man sold his wife fo 1 cents the other day. This Is prob abily because he was so cheap she couldn't give him away. SOME men say their sons are worth $5,000 apiece to them and yet hate like sixty to dig up enough to buy them pair of new shoes. THERE are lots of girls who grad uated from other schools than Vassar who never asked for a divorce in court either.

Both men are advanced In years, and have been quarreling over boundary lines, the weather and pollcal conditions for some time. It was shown that Smith attacked Scherer with & clothes prop, and Scherer re taliated by throwing a club with aim true enough to smash Smith's pipe. Judge Mungovan finally lectured both men and allowed them to go. GIVES FILL DAMAGE ASKED. Tho Jury of eleven men. trying the case of Otto E. Hoffman at Richmond against the P., C.

Gen. Grant's relatives tried a long

great warrior was not atnpld as a boy, and Paganinl encouraged the belief that he had a wltebery from the devil, when he knew that what made him a genius was hard work. . The first Interview granted by the recently great usually evolves the pleasant fiction that there was some anddeit Inspiration or flash ot a-enlns about the matter, though the candidate for a statue knows he, is lying at the time. It came by alow dearreen. ' It is only after first honors wear off that the successful man becomes great enough to admit that the whole thing was the result of bard work plus courage. Making soap Is a nobler way to live than loafing In Newport: . and the friends who try to believe that Gen. Grant was a bright boy rob him of his greatest glory as the world's most wonderful example of the power at deterMiaatlon. Paganini may have become thin by natural Inclination, but the monks in the mountains said that It was from excessive exercise at drawing the tail cC a horse across the duodenum of a cat. The mad effort to deceive the public as to the real cause of their success Is the chlf blot upon the character of many of th world's greatest men, and is the source of much discouragement to the struggling. The hickory shirt, the calloused hand, the pine knot torch for students, lack the charm they should have, because we want to believe that no good can come from Nazareth or Cracker's Bend, and the poor boy who has become famous believes in givjng us wiat we want and goes back on the thing that made him. But truth will eadare, and bard work continue to- do bunlBeH at the eld at aad. The man who first said, "Inspiration is perspiration," did a good day'a work, but the word "sweat" would have been better.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH G-eVJVIEROIN

If a carpenter should work for years with a dull tool, and offer as his only explanation that he could not afford to have it sharpened, you would answer him:. "But surely you lose more money by having It dull so that you cannot do a much work." "Wouldn't you? , And yet, maybe you are doing the very same thing. I know hundreds of people who are. The -dull tool is some foolish little habit, which daily hampers and hinders them In their work. The effort it would cost them to overcome it cannot possibly be equal to the effort they, have to make every day to overcome the difficulties and hindrances It causes them. A newspaper man showed me his rote-book the other day. It was a very neat affair, filled with carefully written, thoroughly legible .notes. Having seen his notes on rpevious occasions, when they consisted of Impossible scrawls on stray scrtaps of paper, I expressed my astonishment at the change and Inquired how it came about. "Well, you see. Miss Cameron," he explained, "I got tired of hauling out those scraps of paper and spending a lot of time trying to make out what I'd written and then throwing them away and writing my story from memory and making a dozen mistakes. I decdied it didn't pay, and I've been keeping my notes, so I can read them the last few months, and you don't know how much time and trouble it saves." There was a man who realized how much more It cost to use a dull tool than to have it harpend. What's your dull tool? '- Perhaps It's a cluttered desk that costs you as much time every day hunt

time to persuade the public that .the ing for something as it would take to claan up the whole desk. Perhaps it's a slovenly habit of dress or a carelessness about vour flncer nails that prejudices more people against you than you can win back by all your sterling worth of brain and character. Perhaps it's an ill-arranged pantry and closets, that make you lose more time every day hunting and reaching for things than it would take you to set the whole place in logical and helpful order. Purhaps it's a carelessness about your health a habit of eating, too rapidly, or not walk In a- cnoua-h nr nnt l-drlnktng sufficient water that costs you very disproportionately in efficiently and ability. Perhaps you have none. But If you are my old friend, the "average man or woman." I very much doubt it. RL'TH CAMERON. RECONCILED IN COURT. Asserting that she had filled out a bogus marriage certificate and showed it o a woman in order that the woman might inform her former husband hev had remarried, Mrs. James T. Dickerson of Danville expressed her willingness to remarry Dickerson In court yesteday.
