LEE'S RESIGNATION. E. M. Lee having announced that he will no longer press his claims for re-election to the state chairmanship of the republican organization, the situation in the republican party In dicates that the friends of Mr. Taft have at last succeeded in getting rid of direct opposition to the instruction of Indiana delegation for Mr. Taft. Mr. Lee a good organizer, a sincere man and an earnest republican made the grand mistake of talking too much. A good politician says as little as possible. He is not supposed to take any one in his confidence save those who are bound to. him by strings and wires that he is absolutely sure of. To others he must be noncommittal and lie if nececssary. Mr. Lee refused to either He or he non committal, so ne ieii down as a party leader. Only time will tell whether his predictions will come true or not. That rests entirely with the common people who are not in politics. The way is clear now for the friends of Mr. Taft to go right ahead and load up the state commit tee, the Indiana delegation. In tha meantime what are the friends of a ate republican state convention goIng to do with Mr. Taft's desire for an early convention? NEW STREETS NEEDED. The student of the map of the Calu met region can not help but notiee that there is a dearth of through streets which in time may become inIa the citles of Hammond, East Chicago. Indiana Harbor and Whiting there are enough north and south thorotiBhfsres that ormlrt nnn, for traffic but there are no eas and 'st streets correcting wta the Gary district. For Instance in the above mention ed '4:es there are nine great no-th and touth thoroughfares Burnham avenue, West Hammond, State Line street, Hohman street, which is be ing extended through to the Ridge Road south of the river, Calumet avenue, which is to be built through from Lake Michigan to the ridge road I Calumet river, Whiteoak avenue. I which extends from Whiting to One Hundred and Fifty-first street in East Chicago, Forsythe avenue which er 1 tends from Whiting through Erst Chicago to the ridge road, Kennedy avenue, which extends from Indiana liarbor through to Highlands and. I Kline avenue, which extends alons the Indiana Harbor-Gary corporation. Mne to the country districts to the isrutnara. I East of Cline avenue and In the (whole of Calumet townshiD there tire onl5' two orth and south roads at L. t . , . the Present time which extend south Black Oak road, which might be called tbe extension of the Clark road and Broadway. Other roads that might be developed into great north and south thoroughfares are Chicago avenue and Main street in Tolleston. But if Gary has a dearth of north land isouth thoroughfares it does have j some east and west thoroughfares that could be developed into great streets. There is Fifth avenue which could be extended as far westward as Clin avenue and from there could branch northward to East Chicago and Indi ana Harbor and southward and westI ward - to Hammond. 'There Is Eleventh avenue which is already de veloping into a great east and west artery between Gary and Hammond. Fifteenth avenue. Twenty-first ave nue, and Twenty-fifth avenue could all be developed into great east and west streets. The ridge road is al ready the most important country j road in the county , v v t of the way to Hammond it would encourage east and west travel over them, would provide routes for new interurban lines, would result in the harmonious.platting of the whole in-" tervening territory and would result in the creating of an enormous residential territory for the hundreds of thousands of people who will live in this district in another ten years.

The conclusions from this study ara that Eafet Chicago, Hammond, Indiana Harbor and Whiting need east, aid west streets as they have a wealth of north and south streets while Gary needs north and south streets and ba3 numerous east and west thoroughfares in the process of development.

KERN STRENGTH; MARSHALL WEAKNESS. The Indianapolis Star is conducting a state wide democratic presidential primary and getting return ballots at the rate of several hundred a day and he returns are somewhat disconcert ing to the men who have pinned their faith on the Gov. Marshall presi dential boom. The vote yesterday was as follows: W. J. BRYAN ... 3.403 JOHN W. KERN . 3.118 WOODROW WIUSON ....1,629 THOS. R. MARSHALL .. ... 721 Carefully note that Mr. Marshall has only 723 votes out of over ten thousand and then carefully consider his chances In landing the Indiana delegation let alone getting any' en couragement outside of the state. Is it any wonder that the wily Tom Taggart can't seeMr. Marshall strong enough to hurt his eyes. Look at the Bryan vote 3,403! .The surprising part of the ballot however Is the weakness shown by Gov. Marshall. Those very foxy politicians Judge Lawrence Becker of Hammond and Mayor T. E. Knotts of aGry may right well be excused because they don't fall all over themselves in their anxiety to shout Marshall'8 name till they are hoarse. It is suite evident the governor is not big enough presi dential timber. SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT. The chances are that the next few years will see a healthy growth of the suburbs of some of our Lake county cities. Take Gary for in stance. Here three new interurban lines leading into the city from s many directions are ettner building or are completed. A couple of more are projected. With cheap fares and rapid transit many a family will seek out the suburb because of the opportunities it offers. East Gary, Hobart, Deep Riv er, Merrillville, Chesterton, Ridge Road, Highlands and even Crown Point will benefit by this traction development. Then there is Hammond with Highlands,' Munster, Oak Glen SeesterXJherty-,West Hammond, Gth' son, Maynard," Lansing and a dozen other places to draw from. The next boom will, follow' the offering of homes with a few acres surrounding them. AND you ought to be thankful that those ravenous v mosquitoes ' are not busy dancing the grizzly bear on wour prostrate form while the atmosphere in your sleeping room is so thick you can scoop it out with a shovel. DOWN county friend paying his subscription the other day says this is a mild winter and then went on to tell of some year where the buck wheat cakes froze to the griddle be tween flaps. . WE ail to see why Alderman Castle man thinks it necessary to stand In the track and have the on-rushing train carve him to pieces for that is what is going to happen Booner or later. SNOW and blizzards in the sunny south for three weeks. Just see what railroad, fare you saved by sticking around in 'the. Baldwin Locomotive works region. HOWEVER valuable as property Is the Calnmet region is, it can't quite come up to New York where a twenty story skyscraper is to be built in a 20 foot lot. REV. Zack Sweeney has accepted a call to a New York pastorate. You remember reading something about Zack and his game wardens years ago. Not? THE efforts of some democratic politicians to bluff William Jennlng? Bryan are about as laughable as any joke that ever tickled your risibilities. SCARCELY a day passes but what you can't run across the ghastly remains of a dead New Year's resolution lying stark on the dank ground. A WELL known Center Township farmer says that he has the price of a few sacks of oats that it will be Roosevelt and Bryan again. IN.puUing off one of these Vdark horse" stunts it may be safely granted that there is some dark work going on somewhere.

REGULAR little money party in the Twin Cities these day. The number of people pouring money beats the band. Lillian Russell's latest husband may be called an extra edition seeing that he is a Pittsburg newspaper man! IT is quite plain that jury service n the packers trial is going to be al most equivalent to a life sentence. WILL you Kernul Ruzzyfelt, in our own simplified spelling tell us what you are going to do? RELIGION would be better If peo pie only prayed as readily and regu larly as they preached. MR. Lee has the action of a man who has been monkeying with the buzz saw and been nipped. NO jone can . ever accuse the calendar men of going through a spell of hard times. SKEEING is our idea of a fine sport to Vatch from the window nearest a radiator. , OUR Idea of a magnate is one who doesn't have to get out and shovel snow. IT is gloomy to the grouch and gay to the glad which ever way you look at it. THE successful politician of today never hides his light under a bushel. RATHER looks as though Mr. Mer cury had a bad case of cold feet. MR. Hitchcock Is still in the CabI net. The King reigns! THE Lafollette boom is still col lapsing. HOW are the pipesl HE ARB . BY RUBE WELCOME little spring time. JUST when you get your sleigh all painted up and your best girl's promise to go for a ride the snow melts. . A LOT of violets glamour seems to have faded away during the past few days. NOW what would the reporters do If Alderman Castleman lost his Job? Some Pests. 1. Mosquifoes. 2. Bedbugs. 3. House ni;s. ' 4. Presidential bees. A GRIFFITJI.man has spent so much time reading articles so often on the high cost of ling thai he only worked two days last week. . Htstl The Deed I Done. "Cupid has not been quite so busy as , usual this cold weather, at least the love god is not getting results from his efforts like h did In June, but oc casionally a couple desiring to embark on the sea of matrimony comes down from the city, procures a license of the polite and good-looking deputy coun ty clerk, hurries to a Justice or min ister, and the deed Is done."
