It fuzzy hats are the proper style in
the Calumej region, the hatter who doesn't want to believe it is simply
working against himself. A preacher
or a politician is tempted to argue
in favor of some peculiar doctrine, whether he believeB it or not; but no Etich tem plat ion comes to the business
man. A certain deal will be profitable
in dollars and cents, or it will not and there's the end of the discussion. His business encourages and compels an unprejudiced condition of mind. The world" has small use for the man whose prejudices are constantly leading him away from the.truth; and that's the reason why, after all, the representative man in this great country of ours is (he plain business man. The public is willing to applaud a Billy Sunday, to worship a Dave Warfield, and to tear its hair when Mary Garden "rends the air with harmony"; but when it comes to the actual companionship of life, the calm, reasonable business man occupies a pedestal far above the eccentric personage whose ability to do startling things may have robbed him of the ordinary gifts bestowed upon n-ankind.

WHAT NEXT? Recent developments Indicate thiU a Gary man has to have a pretty clear
conscience if he desires to sleep well
at nights without taking chlordyne. If he holds an official position the
little red devils must be constantly prodding him. It has now reaehel
such a state that even business men must stay inside locked doora when

in another room and are supposed to
have had no small influence in pro
viding the prosecution with that perfect case which ended in confession.
, In the Ohio legislative cases the in
strument was concealed beneath a
couch and is aleged to have carried the details of the conversation to the
stenographers hired by William J. Burns for this purpose, In this in
stance the court would not accept the
instrument as a proper witness. In the Gary case testimony obtained in
this manner was admitted.
If the judgment is appealed the na
tion may look for a ruling by a higher
court on the admissibility of evidence
secured by this new instrument bo delicately adjusted that it transmits words spoken in ordinary tones a comparatively long distance. It seems as
though its standing in court depends upon the credibility of the witnesses who testify to what it transmitted. In
other words, it makes no particular
difference if conversations are over
heard by it or, through a transom.
The weight given should berdeterm-
ined by the character of those who repeat the conversations. Grand Rapids
Press.

AN UNPREDJUDICED MAN.
Men are so largely the result of
tneir surroundings tnat an unpre
judiced man is seldom to be found in
any of the professions. A lawyer
must of necessity be in sympathy with
his client. A doctor would be false to his calling if he did not hope in the
face of contrary evidence that his pa
tlent would recover. A politician is expected to view matters from the standpoint of his constituency, and a
preacher hasnt' a right to even think that the dogmas of his church are
wrong. The fact is, that to find un
prejudiced-.men you must look away
from the professions ,to some calling that does not require its devotees to stand on any particular side of the
fence.
That calling is business. Businer,
is the only profession that primarily
encourages an unprejudiced Btate of mind. The questions that merchants
pre to decide are not the solution of some peculiar theory, but the actual
facts as to prices, dates and values
The lawyer who knows his client to be guilty must nevertheless defend him, but the grocer who knows that
the best potatoes can be bought for
75 cents a peck is committing finan
rial suicide if he pays more. Every
thing connected with his business de
mands of him a knowledge of facts
Before you can build an office build
ing you must first have the plana
made by an architect. That follows
the determination of the feasibility of
the project. Then the work of con
struction may begin.
This illustrates the status of the wa
terway situation In the Calumet region
of Indiana. The government engineers
have decided that the project to de
velop a great inland waterway from Indiana Harbor to South Chicago is feasible. Its engineers have prepared the plans. This important information was given out by this paper last evening. The draughting of the plans is the initial step in the actual construction of a comprehensive system of deep waterways in Lake "county. These waterways will afford the region between twenty and thirty miles of deckage of the best kind. When
the fact is known that dock property
along the Calumet river in South Chicago is worth all of the way from $10,000 to $30,000 an acre, an idea of
the increase in values that will follow
may be had.
Heretofore the Calumet region in
Indiana has been able to claim only
that river and harbor development is
desired. Now the industrial develop
ment has gone far enough o that it
may honestly be claimed that it is a
real necessity.
It is expected that a large appro
priation will be secured at, the next
session of congress, perhaps at this one, and that this will be increased as
the work of improvement continues until finally the Indiana Harbor canal
and the Calumet river in Indiana will cut a large figure in the annual appro
priation by the government.
Ana this development will mean
greater industrial growth. It is a well
known fact that canal and dock prop
erty is the, best for industrial - pur
poses. Boiler water fn unlimited
quantities, the choice of water or rail freight rates, the fact that the markets
of the great lakes is open to every in
dustry along the canal to say nothing
of the fact that ore may be deposited
at the doors of the furnaces without
transhipment will make all of this
new dock property valuable as Indus
trial sites.
And if the industries come, the
whole of the territory along these
canals will witness such a marvelous
development that its scope can not be
measured at the' present time.
THE TIMES had the pleasure of re
cording what it regards as the most significant event in the history of the
region since the United States Steel
company located at Gary; the com
pletion of the plans for the waterway
development of the region.

TRIAL BY DICTOGRAPH.

testimony has been secured. A Gary alderman has been ' found guilty through it of having accepted a bribe

Lowell. Ind.. Dec. 26. 1911. Kditor Times: it is a little satisfaction to those . who ' are strongly opposed to boodle and graft, to learn that at leant one case has been.de elded in court in favor of honest, law-abiding people against , graft. Ve hope those who have started the good work will continue to prosecute all who are known to be guilty of such acts, provided of course that legal evidence can be secured. It Is also to be hoped that "all good citizens, regardless of political, or religious connections will encourage and aid if possible and necessary in. the good work. I do not think the work should stop when all the Gary bunch Is done with, but continued to any and all other places in Lak County where any illegal work is or has been done.
I do not believe In prosecution 01
suspicion without evidence but there seems to be a general feeling that there is a great deal of graft in many of the public contracts ami also in the tax enforcement or lack of Enforcement of the liquor laws. A great. deal is said about "blind pigs", about boot-leg"gers and other forms of violations of the liquor laws. I believe that if many of those who claim -to bo opposed to the use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, would furnish the evidence whic'.i they claim to have, It'should not be hard to punish those who intentionally violate the laws. The samo
holds good with cases of graft. If all who ltnow of such things were willing to expose them. It would not be very difficult to stop them. If we helj to pollute a running stream With the filth from our oarn yard, our neighbor who usji the

Officers In tha navy are discusstnr with interest & report that the Navy Department intends to abandon the skeleton masts with which ali battleships now are equipped because, from the viewpoint of naval experts, they are a handicap to efficient markmanshlp. The lndestructabilityof the skeleton mast precludes the possibility of damage to the fire control system wliile in actten. The range finder, a commissioned officer, has his position at ttte top of the mast. It has now developed, though, that the new masts do not afford a sufficiently substantial footing for the man who must sight the enemy's vessels while still several miles away, and gauge the distance accurately for the g,xnners wnlle tha ship below him is steaming alone at full speed.

Though the plans for the- Jackson
Club banquet at Lafayette on' Thursday
are not fully- completed, it Is known
that Governor Wilson, of New Jersey.
and Governor Harmon, of Ohio, who
were invited to speak, will not be able to attend. The report that their declinations were based" on the expected
presence of Governor Marshall Is not warranted by the contents of the let

would therefore bo impossible for them
to accept. There was no spirit of rivalry among the different speakers.

SUGGESTIOM.
Tears ago a fnmous criminal lawyer
one of the Brecklnridges ct Ken
tuckywent to a backwoods county
seat In Indiana to defend a prisoner
charged with murder. ' Drawn by the fame of the orator,
half the countryside came to bear the speech of the eminent counsel a speech that was long remembered In
those parts. If Breckinridge had known.
Among those who sought to shake
bis band was one shy, homely, awk
ward youth to whom the speaker gave
scarcely a glance. The boy was Abraham Lincoln..
Unknown to the brilliant Breckinridge, his speech had awakened In. the ungainly youth a purpose that dominated all the 'future. As be tells us, it was at this time Lincoln deter
mined to be a lawyer. He lacked everything.
Most of all he lacked education. But
there was the suggestion.
That suggestion hardened into a
fixed, unalterable purpose a purpose which he hugged to his heart and
would not let go.
The hope of Its realisation struck Its roots deep into his being. Sometimes it was watered by the tears of disappointment; but, well planted and well nourished, it grew and blossomed
forth. lie went by a way he knew not. but Whose end be knew. It is scientifically true that when desire becomes strong enough and causes definite, suggestion it induces sustained and effective effort. You suggest to yourself that you will do this thing or that. You affirm your suggestion over and over. Yon do not merely hope it, but you work at in.- you dream it. you will it to be so, and Lo! You awaken old powers or new ones you knew not of. And these powers work with you and fpr you, waking or sleeping. Such is the di
vinity within you that, having suggested the possibility of your dearest dream, you go out and make it com true. " It works! And that is the best proof that it Is true. ' Lincoln proved it

The circle of the Amalgamated Order of Never Weds has been broken for the second time by the marriage of Mis Bernina Crater, of Edinburg, and Condor Lortt, of Columbus. A few years ago several of the young women employed by the Indianapolis, Columbus A Southern Traction Company formed a society and took solemn vows thar they would never marry. They took the Greek letters for the initials of tha traction company and called their organization the lota Chi Sigma sorority. The first break in the circle came when Miss Ona Gore, daughter of Thomas Gore, Of Indianapolis, was married to Herchel Rupprecht, of Columbus. Miss Crater's marriage is the second break in the ranks. Both of the girls have been forgiven by their fellow club members.
