Some kind souls in Gary are ' for
starting a V. W. C. A. for the unmar
ried young women of the steel city.
For the present and for the next
ten years to coine Gary has no need
of a home for young women. Here
the fair Bex are out-numbered by the voting population five to one.
We have often remarked that no
unmarried woman in Gary remains in the state of single blessedness unless it be of her own'voilition. So, efforts
of those solicitlous over young wom
en and homes had better turn their energies to something else.

NO GLASS NEEDED HERE. A Washington report, not verified and which will probably so remain, says that Senator Kern is the choice of Indiana democrats for the presidential nomination, according to James E. Watson. It appears that Mr. Watson, In Washington, was asked to say something on tho political situation in Indiana and so sprung tho Kern story. Mr. Watson did state the source of his Interesting bit of information. It Is probably Just as well he did not. It mlgh$ have proven embarrassing. As to the Kern sentiment in Indiana, particularly in the northern part of the state, you couldn't locate it with a magnifying glass. Indeed, Kern Is not what might be termed "exceedingly popular" with the democrats of- northern Indiana, particularly with the friends of Senator Shlvely. South Bend Tribune. - . ' ....
We hasten to assure the esteemed
Tribune that South Bend isn't north
em Indiana by a long shot. There Is
plenty of Kern sentiment in this
county which has so large a popula
tion that no magnifying glass is need
ed. Kern has many ardent admirers here, quite as many it not more than Gov. Marshall and we believe as the Indianapolis Star's poll shows Senator
Kern leads all Indiana democrats in
presidential preference.

'SHAME OF SENSE AND DUTY.'
With a large explosive pop the
organ of the Hammond administration blew up again last night, because
this paper dared to present the facts
and show that Hammond was at the
peril of fire through conditions exist
ing at the Hammond water works.
For three days now the city of Ham
mond has been without adequate fire
protection.
With the vision of the city printing
and the deputy oil inspectorship slip
ping away from it unless something nasty was said In defense the organ
says that an editor who suggests
remedy for existing evils is a "cloven
hoof" and has "effrontery."
Never before has there been an editor so lost to a shame of sense and duty," wildly and unrhetorically yelps
the a. o. Yes we blush in "shame."
One must be soaked in "shame and
effrontery" to call the attention of
taxpayers saddled with special assess
ments, water taxes, sprinkling taxes,
city taxes and the good Lord only
knows what taxes, to conditions that
exist.
. One must be steeped in "shame and
effrontery" to show that a city 25,000
stands in peril of a holocaust taking
human life and destroying millions.
-' One must be simply soused in
"shame and effrontery," to call at tention to a municipal situation caus
ing women and children to suffer
manufactories to shut down, taxpay
, ers to pay for something they don
get, people to suffer hardship, de
privation and loss, disease to stal
rampant!
"Shame of sense and duty?" Oh
you city printing! Suffering torn cats!
BELIEVE IN SUCCESS.
Is there anything more dispiriting
than the wail of the whiner the man
who is always chattering about
things going to the demnition bowwows? .
No matter how cheery the prospect looks in the Calumet region, right
now there are failures who are bleat ing and croaking.
They never have anything to say
about good times ,but always about
hard times.
Itiias a (ways' teen believed that
hard times have to come about once every 10 years or so; but two or three men have been discovered lately
who have had the nerve to assert that our present prosperity may be permanent. Educators are beginning to
tell us that the world knows more than It did in the palmy days of Alexandria and Rome.
The public is throwing aside the
literature of failure in favor of the stories of success. An Increasing
number of preachers have declared that the world is getting better and have held their jobs. What of It? t
This: This is the day when leader
ships, high positions and the best
things In the world are open to everybody. It is the day when the poor
boy as well as the rich one may edu
cate himself. ' It is the day when the
public is willing to listen to the one
who has something to say and take
off its hat to the man who can do
things. It is the day when money begets money by passing through the
bands of him who knows.
The literary head of one of New
York's greatest publlsihng houses
said to me only a few weeks ago
'The writer of discouraging 6tories
had better change his business. He may be all right as an undertaker's clerk ,but he won't succeed as an
author. The public wants Its heroes
of fiction to beat down every obstacle
AnA win success. Pathos and sorrow
are only vaiuaDie as ions to ei uu
more conspicuously the happiness of
the general tone."

A TWO-ENDED PROPOSITION
The attainment of business success
depends, in most instances, upon the
combination of two rare powers one the intellectual ability to grasp fin an

ingness to do the manual, and some

terprise require. . "
Many a man otherwise well equip
ped for - business, fails because he is
unable to Bee the dignity of -a meat-
hook or the wealth of a refuse pile
and even more often, the laborer in the sty or turnpike remains at the bottom because he lacks the Intelligence to
see the opportunity when it knocks
him over the head with a club and be'
seeches him to grasp it. s
