The republican party in Indiana, at last, seems to be using its equilibrator. , It is high time. MEANING JOY. is early seven thousand men are at work m the Gary Steel works at the present time. Never before has the monster steel works been so busy. I For the first time in its existence eight blast furnaces are in commission. A I month hence there will be operating besides the blast furnaces, forty-two onen-hearth furnaces, the million-ton rati mill tha hillot mill ' Blip mill ! plate mill,. iu, iz, 14 ana ls-incn mills, machine shops, foundries and 560 byproduct coke ovens which have a capacity equal to nearly 5,000 ovens of the Connellsville type. With ths exception of the rail mill and a dozen open-hearths, which are! now bein prepared, all of the departments listed above are now in full " The smoke that now comes from the Gary i.teel mills, the thousands of men rnar ivima in crrt aiit at ito iriraa ", wnen tne wnistie Bounds, ana tne reflection in the skies at night all mean business. JtiVJi minuifc Siitvim. The Chicago Telephone Co. had five trunk lines from Hammond to Gary, some time back, when Manager Oscar Krinbill noticed that a number of toll calls were being lost every day because of the fact that the lines were too busy at certain times of the day. He called the matter to the atten tion of the Chicago office. They in formed him that five trunk lines were sufficient to take care of the business that the reports showed was being done between the two cities Krinbill determined to demon strata the fact that additional lines would" pay. He had his operators keep tab on the calls that were lost each day as a result of the overload on the wires. From the data which he finally accumulated he estimated the amount of additional business that he would be able to do if he could give prompt, efficient service. The result was that the Chicago office was convinced. Five additional lines making 10 in all were provided and from the day of their Installation they Justified the faith that Krlpnill bad In them. Exactly the same principal Is In volved in the development of the 1 traction business in Hammond. The: people of Hammond have never ha 1 1 the street car habit. With 20 minute service in thej day time and JO minute service at night the cars come by so infrequently that the average person walks

rather than wait tor them. The officials of the company complain that they are not doing the business. Of course they're not. People have learned that they can't rely on local street car service. They take the other alternatives.
They live near their work, they carry ; their lunch, they walk in fair weath-i er and the only time they ride ia when they happen to meet a car or when the weather 1b 6uch that they are warranted in waiting 20 minutes to half an hour for a car. This idea that additional service may be only expected after car- after car goes by laden with straphangers is a business mistake. Provide tha service and the volume of business will increase proportionately. That is the experience of business men in any line of activity. Actual experience in Gary proves it. Furthermore the Standard Steel Car Co. will open its Hammond plant in a few weeks. Hundreds and thousands of men will be put to work. The cars will be crowded. Patrons of the line will complain. The company will be damned and the town will be incalculably injured. Why is it that a great corporation like that which owns these lines can never anticipate these things? Why is it that they always have their noses rubbed in the dirt before they smell the odor? The time to act is now. Perhaps Hammond does not know the business of running a traction line but It does know thatyit is not getting the service that Gary gets and that it believes it deserves. ALL FRESH IS GRASS. They are ,now making pan cakes out of alfalfa in the far west. This surprises no one in these parts however especially those of us who munch through a plate of shredded door-mat for breakfast each morn. HE SIGNED IT LATE. It is a funny world. A Rochester woman made a vow that she would stay in bed until her husband signed the pledge. Well, hubby balked with the signa ture but wife hung out. She stayed in bed for sixteen yeaps and finally the male half of the sketch signed the pledge. Then he went to his heart's delight and said, "Greetings love, you can get up, I've signed the pledge." Wnereupon wife answered, "Well then, I guess I'll get up." But the plans of mice and men oft gang, etc. She couldnt get up. She found I that her legs were atrophied and that she could not walk, because of the long stay in the hay. Just what they will do with the pledge isn't chonicled in the dispatches.

Gary does have an unaccountable lot of graft and bribery troubles. Indianapolis Star. Mr. Officer, it's in again. NOW if some of the other candidates on both sides would only follow Lafollette'a suit and take a muchj needed rest, how glad indeed, could we all be. THE theory that the nrice 0f butter and eggs is forced up by cold waves goes all right now, but what are you going to do about it next summer'? THIRTY degrees below zero at Alberta and yet when it gets, to 30 above here you find a lot of cold-blooded folk raising an awful rumpus about it.
