R. R. QUILLAN. NOMINATION OF PATTERSON. East Chicago and Indiana . Harbor have been rolling up big republican majorities for the past ten years They have done this in spite of the fact that they have received but little recognition from the party. H. E. Jones selection for the office of recorder, the election of E. W. Wickey and B. W. Van Home as state representatives is about all these cities have had at the hands of the republic an party in the last few years. This proved to be a strong argument in favor of the nomination of J. A. Patterson for the office of prosecutor at the judicial convention last Saturday. The republicans could not deny that East Chicago and Indiana Harbor were entitled to representation. It is. of course, to be regretted that it was necessary to turn .down two mighty good men in William F. Hodges of Gary and Ralph W. Ross of Hammond. Both Hodges and Ross earned the right to consideration by efficient service as deputy prosecutors. They are both men of unquestion integrity and manifest ability and are material which the party will use sooner or later. Patterson may be expected to be an efficient prosecutor. If he keeps his office out of politics and conducts it solely with the purpose of bringing about a greater respect for the law in Lake county, which has become no torious as a law-breakfng community, he will have proven himself worthy of the trust which the republicans of Lake and Porter counties have placed in him. THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA. All letters In which I am made to say that I would not be a candidate in 1912 are, if unpublished, base fabrications and Inventions. If published, such letters show that the person responsible for their pub lication Is an infamous coward, liar and reactionary. All such letters were written sub ject to the recall and are hereby re called; and it would be a genuine ca lamity and deeply embarrassing to me if they were not recalled.

The question of the increased cost of living is not strictly a political prob lem. It is an economic question that will have to be studied from an economic point of view first with the idea of making certain political changes afterwards. During the past ten years the emigrations of foreigners to these shoes has amounted to 1,000,000 a year." In 1900 to every group of eighty men in the United States one was added in the person of a "mysterious stranger" from foreign lands. In 1910 one Btranger from foreign lands was added to every ninety persons in the 'country. Last year emi gration showed a falling off and not so many sought their homes and fortunes in this country. In the meantime while the United States was increasing its population at, the rate of 1,000,000 a year from foreign lands the productivity of Its farmlands Was not Increasing In the same proportion. To illustrate: Assuming that SO persons were able to live off from the products of a certain farm in 1900, 88 or 90 were compelled to live off from the products of the same farm in 1910. With a 10 per cent increase in the

demand for food products it is not remarkable that there should be a 10 per cent increase in prices. Further-!

more, most of these Immigrants locate in the cities making the problem of the marketing and distribution of food products all the more difficult. Take these ten millions of foreign ers and distribute them through the small towns and the country districts and it would not affect the problem of the high cost of food nearly so much as though these same millions were crowded into the cities where the problem of feeding the people is already a difficult one! There are just two solutions to this problem from an economic point of view. One is to restrict emigration until the productivity of the country has caught up with Its increase in population and the other is to encourage intensive farming as well as expansive farming. President Taft made an effort to relieve the situation by negotiating a reciprocity agreement with Canada by which the manufactured products of the United States could be ex. changed for the enormous quantities of foodstuffs that are raised there. The president attempted a political solution of the problem,, but the people of Canada did not take kindly to the idea for the reason that It is now fostering its own industrial development and Champ Clark's reference to the possibility of annexation of Canada by the United States did not help the situation. Should the United States remove the duty on foodstuffs in Canada and waive any reciprocal advantages it might have had there Is still some question as to the effect for prices in Canada are as high as they are in the United States. NOTHING NEW. A lot of our young bucks pride them selves in their knowledge of slang and wonder whether the old folks understand their vernacular. Our travels through some books show us that one very popular stock phrase, "believe me" or "believe muh" as the turkey troting youth says it, was ancient when the guidons of Rome fluttered over the world. Old Cicero, in his book II, if we remember the number rightly, starts out in one chapter with "believe me, citizens." "Kickero," as you may often have pronounced it when you were juggling your Latin gram mar, no doubt picked it up around the Koman aance-naiis wnen ne was young. Then we have before U3 the phrase, quick as Jack Robinson" in one of Dickens' earlier works. The other day we looked over one of Charles Cot ton's English translation run off the press a couple of hundred years ago and find that "fluzy" was an old oire and that didn't originate with George McGinnity of Gary, the reputed In ventor of the word. IT TICKLES THE HOOSIERS. The Lake County Times is much elated over what it construes to be a victory for the Calumet region and shows its elation in the following: "It will be the eource of considerable satisfaction to the people of the Calu met district to know that the city of Chicago, after working for years on plans for inner and outer harbor development have at last been informed by Lieut-Col. George A. Zinn, head of the Chicago office of army engineers, that after all the canals and rivers of the Calumet region in Indiana afTord the only feasible opportunities for real harbor development." The Times holds this report "must be rather galling to those of the members of the Chicago real estate board who have antazonized any and all plans for harbor development in Indiana." Well, it is certainly far from galling to the people of the Calumet region and, in fact, to those of adjacent territory, the manufacturing belt of northern Indiana. South Bend Tribune.

The Calumet Record says that "Vladislof Abramhovlchklkomlnoladoman has accepted a position at South works."

However, the great majority of men never die because their brains have been overworked.

PRSIDENT TAFT wants to have a tribunal to try crooked Judges. How'll we try the tribunal if it ever gets crooked?

stance and have always done so will. Ingly. and further than this. In the face of existing conditions, what more could any one within reason ask? If the typhoid rate in Whiting appears to be greater than In surrounding cities, one reason for it can be ascribed to the possible fact that every suspected case Is reported typhoid, while In other cities the reporting of cases may In many Instances be withheld. If this Is the case. one may readily see why our typhoid' rate would appear much higher In proportion than in other localities. Whiting Is the only city in the Calumet region that has Installed the hyper-chlo-rlte of lime treatment of the drinking water, and for this fact alone, if for no other, the proper authorities should have the full merit of credit While oursewer outlets are too near the water Intake, It Is equally true that our corporate limits are such that other municipalities would object to the city's wastes being emptied into territory under their control. The extension of our intake further Into the lake sufficiently far to eliminate the chances of contamination by the colon bacilli would be prohibitive at the present time and under present conditions.
