WORTHY OF EMULATION. "Keep Your Eye on Pontiac."

That is the slogan of a little city in

Michigan. These are the tenets of the city as sent out in its advertising

literature:

We believe In Pontiac, every man, from the dog-catcher up, and In our ability to get results. We believe that honest goods can be Bold by honest methods. We believe In working, not waiting; In laughing, not crying; and In the pleasure of doing business. We believe that Pontiac can get what it goes after, and that no city is down and cut until It has lost

faith in itself. We believe in a square deal. In kindness, in generosity. In good cheer. In friendship and honest , competition. We believe In expanding Pontlao and the way to do It Is to hustle for it. A city which his such hustlers as

The other said, "I know a girl who

GET BUSY!

Fifty thousand people in the cities of Indiana Harbor, East Chicago, Whiting and Hammond are either directly or indirectly vitally interested in the coming of the Baldwin Locomotive Works and kindred factories to this district.

The Baldwin Locomotive people

have set aside their appropriation foi'

the building of an immense industrial institution. Everything 13 ready on their part. These fifty

tnousand people are beginning to

wonder why shovels are not turnin sod over for this plant.

The Baldwin people were promised transportation and have not been

given it. That's why. Not a shovel

will be turned until this question of

transportation is settled.

reuuons containing j,uuu names

have been turned in, routes decided upon and everything prepared for the passage of necessary street railway

franchises, yet time flies, those in

power procrastinate and nothing is

done.

How long are the people who have

heavily invested and are heavily in

terested going to stand for this sort

of thing? . Isn't it time to get busy?

The Day in HISTORY

ENVY AND CONTEMPT. Envy for those who are ahead and contempt for those who are behind, are among the most useless and harmful emotions of the human mind. Neither envy nor contempt produce results in service, and nothing

counts for good unless It can be reduced to terms of mental or physical profit for somebody. It is perfectly natural, and therefore right, to wish for one's self the advantages that others enjoy. When this takes the form of emulation It lias in it a germ of nobility; but

HUMAN NATURE THE SAME.

It must be a -revelation to those

who have been lead to believe, by

their absorption of socialistic doc

trines, that men of wealth are mental

and moral weaklings, intent only on the accumulation of excessively large

fortunes and strong only in their

antagonism of downtrodden humani

ty, to learn that John Jacob Astor, one of the proudest of American

aristocrats, proved himself one of the greatest heroes in the wreck of the

Titanic.

After harping on the "capitalistic

class" it must be rather pleasantly

disappointing to learn that because

a man is a millionaire he is none the

less a man. That he may fit a hero's

mould after all.

It is true that J. Bruce Ismay prov

ed himself an abject coward, and It

seems that every event of this kind

produces a coward or two just by way of contrast with those who rise

to the heights of heroism, but Ismay will go to his grave with the contempt of all the world as the penalty for his cowardice. But while the heroism of such men as Astor, Strauss, Captain, Smitji, Archie Butt and others of the so-called

aristocrats i3 a thing that stamps the Anglo-Saxon as a superior race; the

fact should not be overlooked that many a poor steerage passenger who

knew that his self sacrifice In bowing

to "Women and children first," meant

certain death and oblivion for hiin,

also did his duty unflinchingly.

After all human nature Is about the same wherever you find it. There

are potential heroes in every walk of

life. Neither the laboring nor the

capitalistic class has a coiner on the

hero business. There Is splendid

nobility of character in the average American citizen so why divide them

into classes?

Why germinate hatred, jealousy

and vlndlctivene8S In the hearts of people who do not have these feelings Just for the sake of a propaganda?

TWO thousand years hence nearly

a statistician. It thus behooves the Jones family to get a double-barred

hump on itself.

William Rohrer, master brewer for the Columbia brewery at Logansport, committed suicide at Logansport some time yesterday by shooting himself through the head.
