THE TRACTION PROBLEM.

It is a well known fact that one of

the conditions under which the offi

cials of the Baldwin Locomotive Works agreed to locate in East Chigo was that TRANSPORTATION

FACILITIES BE PROVIDED WITH

CITIES OF THE

GET ON YOUR MASKS.

An ocean steamship has arrived

with 10,000 cases of Scotch whiskey.

This ought to furnish both the Chi

cago and Baltimore convention with

an adequate supply of high-balls

provided the iceman does his part

without murmuring. Now let the

steamroller go joyously on.

The purpose of this is at once ap

parent when the fact is known that the one objection raised against the Calumet location was its limited

labor market. '.

The officials of the Baldwin plant

were very careful to explain that the big class of artisans they employ are hard to get, that they must have

good homes in pleasant surroundings,

THAT ALL OF THE CITIES OF THE REGION MUST PREPARE HOMES

FOR THEM and that it will be impossible for any one city to absorb the entire force no matter how rapid

ly It may expand.

It was inder the tacit agreement

that transportation facilities to the other cities of the region would be

provided that the plant was located

at Calumet. C .W. Hotchkiss, him

self, promised to install suburban service of great frequency on the

Lake Shore suburban loop in order to fulfill bis part of the agreement.

BUT . THE MUNICIPALITIES

THAT WOULD NATURALLY PROFIT BY THE LOCATING OF THIS ENORMOUS INDUSTRY AT CALUMET ARE NOT DOING THEIR PART. As a result this big project is being bld up. The work of constructing the big plant will not begin until the cities of East Chicago and Hammond pass

(the necessary franchises that will

MORE WORK AND MORE PAY. A man becomes of value to a busi

ness the minute he begins looking for work Instead of looking for pay.

And, in the usual case, when one

becomes of value to a business, he Is

more certain of his salary than the owner is of an annual surplus.

The men who is cheerfully and

constantly seeking the burden of ad

ditional work is second only in importance to the man who is looking

for a higher and more Important kind

of work, and fitting his mind or hand

for it. In good times he will receive better pay than the rest. In hard times, when the whirring of machinery is stopped and panic stalkd abroad, he is certain of employment

when other men are idle. He is the

king of laborers, and 10 to 1 he is a

6tudent of his business as well, be

cause mental ambition and physical energy are close of kin.

Labor conquers all things, because

it makes a man of service to his fel

lows ana Dinas nim to tneir purses

and their souls as mortar binds brick

and stone. It lifts him to a place of

power, for men, like bees and labor

ing ants, have no use for the useless.

and no man can long retain the esteem and regard of his fellows who

doVs not render to mankind some

helpful service of brain or brawn.

Hard work is a certificate entitling

the nobleman of commerce to a list of

friends, and in the society of the de

cent no man is despised whose hands

wear the callous of the plow or whose shoulders are rounded with the stoop

of toll.

All opportunities are open to the

seeker after burdens, and no palace of

reward has a closed door to the man

of faithful and intelligent service.

Complainers without cause are as easy to find as cornstalks on an Iowa

farm. They Infest the universe and

howl like coyotes on a wintry night

They cry out for ease and plenty,

for repose and for deliverance rom the ordinary cares of life. But the man who protests because he is not

asked to do enough or complains be

cause his burden is too light for the

development of his powers Is as hard to find as a fresh biscuit n the Arctic

GARY, SIX YEARS OLD.

When one thinks that it is but six

jears ago toaay wnen Gary was

founded the time seems to have pass

el quickly. Yet when one sees the

city of Gary as it now stands the np-

parent work of a quarter of a century

seems to have been compressed Into the short space of seventy-two

months.

With already planned, everything

figured out in advance, Mayor

Thomas E. Knotts and his brother, A

F. Knotts, needed no prophetic visiou to imagine what Gary would some day be that morning they watched the unloading of the car of cinders.

which marked the beginning of Gary

They knew that millions of the Unit

ed iaies sieei corporation wore available and that from out of the

uninhabited dunes would spring a

substantial city.

A itnout doubt they wondered how

such

transformed Into the beautiful city that it is today in such short time. Yet the city has attained a sire and exceeded the expectation of even the . most optimistic of its founders. Four ears hence Gary will have rounded out the first decade of its existence and THE TIMES now predicts that its present population will have increased to 75,000 if not a round hundred thousand.

PRESIDENT Taft has one great advantage. He isn't having to spend

a million and a quarter to get the

nomination, but then he has no bar rell like Mr. Perkins either.

COPS who think that they have no show should read H. G. H.'s latest work: "From blue trousers to blue blood." EVEN should the rainy weather keep up the Dyer farmers and the Miller .aristocracy will have enough to amuse them while they are Indoors. The Times' forty-page edition yesterday, of course. THE suburban man isn't up-to-date now days unless he has a motor-driven lawn mower. WHAT'S this? New scandal in the

HARPERS WEEKLY says that China's integrity is ln danger. Now who is doing this? It's one thing we can't blame on Tom Knotts. AMONG other things drawing an annual salary of $6,000 makes the Gary school superintendent's job one that makes us wish we had gone Into professorlng instead of the newspaper grind. WHEN you see the curtains out of the window of the houses you pass In the street youcan figure that It is hell in there for the men folks and that house-cleaning is going on.
