CHAS. A. JOHNSON, Chairman. VERNON M'.GIRR, Secretary. ELEVENTH AVENUE WIDENING. The action of the Gary board of public works in taking up the question of widening Eleventh avenue brought to their attention in these columns two months ago is a timelyone. It will save thousands of dollars that would have had to be expended at some future date when costly improvements would have to be sacrificed. The city of Gary will have seven important streets extending westward from Broadway towards the city of Hammond. These will be Fifth avenue, Eleventh avenue. Fifteenth avenue. Nineteenth avenue, Twenty-first avenue, Twenty-third avenue and Twenty-fifth aVenue. Fifth and Eleventh avenues are already important thoroughfares. They are already carrying considerable traffic through to points westward. Their importance is growing every day and steps should be taken at once to make Eleventh avenue as wide as Fifth. This error in city building came about through the fact that the prop-

A CHANTED CALENDAR. First came tke primrose Oa the bank, high. Like a maiden looking forth From the window of a tower Whea the battle rella below, So looked ahe, Aad naw the atormit go by. Then came the wind flower la the valley left behind. Ae a wounded maiden, pale With purple streak of woe. When the battle has rolled by. So tottered she, , Disheveled In the wind. Then came the dalalee. On the flrat of Mayi c Like a bannered ahow'a advance. While the erowd runs by the way. With tea thousand flowers about them. They rame trooplag through the Held. A a a happy people come. So come they, Ae a happy people raw When the war has rolled away. With dance aad taber. pipe and rum, And all make holiday. Then came the cowslip. Like a daarrr In the fair She spread her Utile eoat of green. And on It daneed ehe. With a fillet bound about her brow, A flllet round her happy brow, A golden fillet round her brow, And rubles In her hair. Sydney Dobell. erty on either side of Eleventh avenue was laid out by individuals and not by the Gary Land Co. It was a lack of the game bread principles f cfty building that were applied in the laying out of the land companies first subdivision. THE TIM.EJS was the first newspaper in Gary to call attention to the necessity for widening Eleventh "avenue and the manner in which the Gary city officials are taking hold of the proposition indicates the splendid spirit of progress that prevails there. VERITAS PKAEVALEBIT. Ah no dear reader, life is not all politics! Jf it were the padded cell3 in what O. Henry called dippy parlors would be teeming over with newspaper editors. It is ttae unusual that is the anodyne in life for editors. An honest horny-handed tiller of the soil from Ross township came in the office to renew his subscription! yesterday heaven bless him! i Incidentally he vouched for the fact that one of his Plymouth Rocks committed suicide by hanging herself n awire, fence when it started to get warm early last week. It seems that the unfortunate hen was downhearted owing to the hign price of living and the sudden drop In the price of eggs, poor thing. ROMANCE IS SHATTERED. During the past few days novelists, magazine writers and other hinh brows have been interviewed in the newspapers about the isolation of the Virginia mountaineers. The Aliens shooting up the courtroom down in Roanoke county brought forth a regular torrent of descriptions about the Blue Ridge country. From what the high brows exuded one. would imagine rocks, crags, pikes, lor cabins, darkeys, whisky stills, fortyfours .rifles, bare-footed mountain girls, grizzly mountaineers, corn pone and the Lord knows what. Help John Fox, Jr. help! Now Sumner Curtis, correspondent for the Chicago Record Herald, writes and throws away all of the story book romance. Instead of wild men the feudists are wealthy farmers whose children go to colleges. The home of one of the Aliens isn't a log cabin surrounded by pines and grizzly bears and oxen-pulling carts. One Allen lives in a modern house with up-to-date plumbing, bathroom, telephone, and a wind-mill with a water plant. There are but few negroes in the section, and as Mr. Curtis writes, when they "visited the Sidney Allen home yesterday they found a grand piano in the parlor, while rolls of new carpets and rugs, which, the leader estimated must have cost at least $1,000, were in readiness to be spread on the floors. Mrs. Allen has been noted for her pride In the cleanliness of her polished wood floors." It always did take a Curtis to in ject cold hard fact into a rosy romance. GOOD OUTLOOK THERE. Former Congressman Diekema, who is at the head of the Taft forces in Michigan, is much encouraged over the present outlook in that state as indicated in the following statement: "Michigan is lining up for President Taft. The drift of public sentiment is decidedly In his favor. Every county convention thus far held has either instructed for him or given him a large majority of the delegates. His speeches in Toledo aijcl Chicago struck the popular chord and created

great enthusiasm. A square deal for! Taft, the true progressive, who doe things is the slogan. A third terra Is not popular in this atate and the people feel that when the colonel threw his hat in the ring his halo followed it. The state convention will send a

Taft delegation." South Bend Tribune. THE DEBT OF THE WORLD. The world owes its greatest debt to dissatisfied peopleand the coat-ot-arms of the Goddess of Liberty should be: "On a field bloody, the kicking mule rampant." We owe our national freedom to a number of dissatisfied gentlemen who held a nonconformist tea party; and our -British friends owe theirs to n bunch of sure-footed hybrids who did not approve of King John's plan of running a government by verbal messages. A restless fellow discovered the New World, and a prudent person who had become tired of paying J3.75 to send a letter from Philadelphia to New York started the postofflce. The Dissenter, the Rebel and the Insurgent have been the foes of tyranny since the world began; and the hard kicker who is able to pull a heavy load meets death and calumny while he Is alive and becomes saint and hero when the world has become old enough to understand him. The mere complainer la a nuisance, and the pessimist who has nothing to propose la not worth the cubic space he occupies ;but the saviors of the world are its Christ, its Luthers, its Cromwells, its Edisons, its Froebels and its La Follettes, who are able to kick and pull at the same time. HER. DAY IN HEAVEN. Man at the end of his day's""work can count up the money he has made and measure the result. Woman's day'g work has no end and no tangible profits. Her only payment, as she goes weary-handed and emptyhanded to rest, is In the heart satisfaction of having done well a little more of her unending labor of love. There is nothing more pathetic were it not so common, than the sight so often seen, of the hard-working, conscientious mother, who literally wears out her life in unheralded toil Thankless and not expecting thanks. She has no "eight-hour day." Even a twelve-hour day would be a boon to most wives, who. In the care of the house and children, are always "doing over-time" without thought of extra pay. Jackson Cltlxen-Press. SUBSCRIBER wants to know why the Knickerbocker Ice Company is going to raise the price of ice next summer. We don't know that it will, but if it does, it will claim that the blocks are so thick and of such excellent quality they are worth more. GASOLINE having gone up two cents a gallon, there is a chance yet that poor suffering John D. Rockefeller whose fingers are worn to th quick clipping coupons may yet give that drinking fountain to Whlting. DOCTOR insists that a man who has big feet has a big brain, whereupon a cynic rises to remark that It is not the first time he has ever heard of a man's brain being in his feet. WHY don't the investigators nf the money trust find out what Mr. Crumpacker spent that 94 cents for, that he used in conducting his campaign for renomination? HAVING found that Gov. Harmon of Ohio eats pancakes with his knife it might be well to look at his vest and see whether It shows any partiality for egg or not. MAN with ten children was arrested the other day. Heaven help him. A man with that many children ought to be Immune from arrest. ANNA Held who just can't make her eyes behave was thirty-five vears old on Monday. Anna Is getting pretty old to be -"played wiz" now. NOTICE that a number of Indiana cities made a hot fight for the apple show, but we didn't see any hat3 from these parts in the ring. SOME candidates, speaking in baseball vernacular have speed but no control and you can have one guess is to the greatest of them.. EAST Chicago mother says her daughter is too temperamental and intense to help with the housework. Oh di m, eh? MR. Roosevelt might put hia troubles in a musical comedy. A lot of neat broilers couldn't do a thing to his troubles.

Outeido of myself there la no one else I'd have sooner wished to have the delegacy than you." T. E. K. THE Indianapolis News speaks of Colonel Englehart as "Prince Tim, the owner of seven autos." This Is a horrible miscarriage of the truth Inasmuch as the Duke of the Ridge road still sticks to the old-fashioned surrey. THE New York Roosevelt committee is out with ads in the papers appeal ing xor aoiiar contrlbs to help T. 11. to get elected. If you give one buck think what good it will do when it is pooled with the 1250,000 contribution of some "practical" trust magnate. Sad tragedy: "He (or she) took oft flannels too iqon." WE see by the dispatches that South Bend is worrying over the high cost of dying. Old S. B. is always grappling with some dead question. The government ought to send an expedition down there' to excavate In the interests of archaeologtcal researches. "IN the meantime." asks a Griffith subscriber, "what has become of the pretty girl in the sun bonnet we used to see years ago?" She grew up, married a millionaire, he made her wear decollete gowns at breakfast, and now sh Is a baby doll In divorce proceedings.

CA1.VIN STEELK ACQUITTED. Calvin Steele, of Michigan City, tho alleged accomplice of Albert Lane, of Indianapolis, in the robbery of John Cottrlll, an aged farmer, of 1600, last December, was acquitted by a jury of the superior court yesterday, after an all night session. This was Steele s second trial. Lane was convicted sevjersi wecni ku on pirw. ui guilty, aim Is now se""'ng time in the state prison. The two accused men met Cottrill in a saloon, and after a game of dice and a round of drinks Cottrill left them.
