THE CALL OF THE PEOPLE.

The Lafayette Journal never said a truer thing nor did ever any other paper, than that when a man is really called by the people to office, he doesn't have to get out and work

overtime in order to get the office.

You don't have to be dented in the head with a. blunted instrument to

know the gentlemen referred to.

THE TENDENCIES OF THE TIMES,

The reasonable fear of many that a

third term means a fourth term and that a fourth term would lead to a fifth term, and that a fifth term would

inevitably result in a dictatorship or a monarchy is not a subject to he dismissed without consideration.

nu me iaie oi itorae ana or. France in mind the possibility of an American king or emperor has been discussed. WJrlle we have been taught .to believe that our institutions are loo stable for such a possibility yet other republics have had their king despite their stability. Ar.d while the vast majority is of a republican mind there are those in this land who would welcome a monarchy. To that great bulk of our population that is foreign born rnonarchial things would make no great difference. The growth of swollen fortunes, the encouragement of class hatred, the disposition to re gard the overrich as of the blue blood, the tendency to wed fortunes

to foreign titles, the rise of the privileged classes, the increase of the idle rich, the more freer mingling of the

aristocracy with the functions of the European courts, and capitalistic development undreamed of twenty years ago, are signs which the close student of the times cannot pass lightly by. Corporate oppression, tha growth of radicalism, the increase in the cost of living,, violence in the labor ranks, the high position accorded demagogues and their influence

over a great element of the population, graft seated In the council halls

of the merest village as well as in the confines of the nation's senate, the

attack upon the court and the const!

tution, world-wide disturbances and the overturning of long established

institutions have created much unrest. These things pave the way for

new and unlooked for conditions.

Yet just as great to be feared 13

the growing restlessness of capital Hardly a day goes by unless keen fi

uancial writers dwell upon the irritability caused by our unsettled conditions, a great contributory cause of

which is the frequency of our presi

dential elections. Some relief for this, but it only serves to show which way the wind is blowing, is seen in

the favorable way in which the na

tional congress and the legislatures

of the several states have viewed tho

measure to have a six-year term for the president and making him ineligible for re-election. In the minds

of the financial interests this would effect a great reform and would be a step toward securing a greater continuance of stability in business con

ditions than obtain at the present time. If six years would accomplish this . why not eight, ten, twelve or even more?

Without a doubt a monarchy

would be welcomed by the financial

bulwarks of this country and of Europe. There could be no mon

archy or dictatorship unless it sup

ported it and it would give no sup

port unless it were based on its own

terms. So, an ambitious man of the

required talent, who could control

the popular will and who would be willing to barter would not be without the wherewith.

Elimination of those business dis

turbances that are now occasioned by

our presidential elections would be

strongly welcomed in the high councils of our commercial activities and

it would be the answer to the prayer

and cherished wishes of the foreign

holders of our securities, who view with concern the present periodical

upheavals, which have but one result the depreciation of values and tho

lessin gof dividends. It will be contended that a mon

archy or a dictatorship at this time

is too remote possibility but it should

be borne in mind that it is a potential

probability however small the meas

ure of potentiality Is. The observer

of men and aalrs now finds traces of

new an dstartling tendencies, which

Increase with time.

ANOTHEB BEAT. THE TIMES scored another of Its notable beats yesterday. In its, one o'clock edition the Calumet region was given the news of the location of an eleven million dollar industry In Hammond hours before any other

paper appeared. Even then Bome of the daily papers in the Calumet district didn't carry the story and no

other newspaper but this carried all

the vital news features of the story, such as the conditions imposed, ou which hinges the construction of tho plant. The story created a great sensation and solidified the sentiment

that nothing can stop this great in

austriai territory ana mat u you want news of the district you must

take THE TIMES.

CALUMET AVENUE OPENING. Now that the Schleslnger Steel Co has located in Hammond the barn

acles who argued that there was no

use in opening Calumet avenue must be compelled to sit up and take

notice.

Calumet avenue will receive the

greatest benefits from the location of

the new plant. It is the street which

above all others will be developed in

to a great east side business

thoroughfare.

It is fortunate that the project to

widen the street came at the time it

did. Had no steps been taken until

now the project would never have

been carried out.

Furthermore had it not been for

the fact that the agitation in favor of

opening ths street through to Rob

ertsdale' and widening it the proba

bility Is that the plant's site would

have extended over Calumet avenue

and would have resulted in forever

closing it to the public.

The whole future of the east side

in Hammond depends on this open

lng and widening project. If that

part of Hammond is cut off from the

north the only part of Hammond that will amount to anything will be the business district at Hohman and

State streets.

This would make a lop-sided town

and would prevent the uniform d?

velopment of the whole city. Th;

prospects now are that Calumet ave

nue will become as important a busi

ness street as Hohman street now is and that State and Sibley streets will

be the business thoroughfares that will connect the two.

A stitch In time has saved nine and

now the property owners along Calumet avenue are ready to take full ad

vantage of the boom that will come

to the city as a result of the locating of the big plant, The have some

thing in prospect to point to.

THE UNHAPPY RICH. We note with a great deal of in

terest that a certain wealthy man

says the rich are not happy.

As far as the ordinary man can see

however, none of the rich seem to be

breaking their galluses trying to look

unhappy though they probably do

that to avoid distressing the poor.

THE COURAGE OF THE MASS. Men act nobly together In situa

tions where each one alone might be

cowardly.

It is on exactly the same principle that in business or politics men are

often dishonest la the mass : whers

nearly all individually are true hearted and fair.

The same force that holds men to

gether courageously in a crowd is

what fills hearts with screaming.

ghastly, indescribable terror in panic. This force is mass psyschology.

In all this fearful Titanic business

one man, unnamed in the early re

ports, gave honest expression to this feeling. He was a man who was left on the Ill-fated vessel after the life boats had all gone, who leaped into the sea and was picked up two hours later clinging to some chairs. "I do not know why we made no effort to stampede the boats," he said speaking of the beroisoi of , kiniscif

Lord Howard de Walden, whose marriage last winter to Miss Margaret Van Faalte was one of the most important events of the social season In London, was born May 9, 1880 and succeeded his father, the seventh Baron, in 1891 Lord Howard is one of the wealthiest of the English peers and he is considered also one of the most remarkable young men In Kngland. Ever since he left Eton to begin his training for the Uritish army at Sandhurst he has been actively engaged In one or another of a score of diverse occupations. While a youth in his teens he rode with the relief column to Klmberley and altogether had a most creditable military career. He owns more motor cars than any other private Individual in England, and the most of them he designed himself. His dramatic and poetic interests have brought him closely In touch with the Lendon stage. He has written operas and dramaMc

epics In blank verse serious works of

art which have been produced before admiring audiences. Congratulations to:

THE city of Rochester has just put

out a pamphlet entitled "How to Take Care of Babies in Hot Weather," printed in five languages. In other words if you can't take good

care of them in one language try another.

CHINA'S news president has outlined a policy but unfortunately it does not extend to our lauridryman who still refuses to let us have our weekly shirt when we forget the ticket.

GREAT Caesar! Government engineers are investigating three-inch fall in the level of old Lake Michigan. Can it be possible that Gary drank up this much water during the six days that half her saloons were closed? "SAYS YOUNG MINISTERS ARE NOT PROPERLY SUPPORTED." Newspaper headlines. Yes, and a whole lot of the old ones are left In the cold, too. THE TIMES' Chicago edition ought to let some of the loop natives know that we are on tha map. PESPITE the assurances of the Chicago newspapers that the strike is settled it continues quite unsettled. IN the meantime what's become of Brer Wheeler's column of old-time happenings that used to grace the Crown Point Star? NOW that Griffith has been hooked up with the Hammond electric lighting plant without a doubt it will be fussing around to have a gay white way. ONE thing about living among the sand dunes is that ants don't like sand and they rfever get into the butter Jar and the potato bin like they do down Lowell ways. A ROB ERTSDALE belle writes to ask what chances there are In regard to Vincent Astor- and his $100,000,000. No chance. Those Robertsdale trirls

are always trying to get something soft.

HENNERY COLDBOTTLE has pur-

cnased a cow down at East Gary. He expects to land the milk punch concession at that Coney Island they're going to start at Miller beach. THE fellow that wrote that book on

"Uses of Cotton Seed Oil" evidently

overlooked the fact that the druggists and restaurant men find It useful In

passing It oft as a substitute for olive

oil.

DEAR RUBE: When they get that Chautauqua started down at Miller

beach 1 would suggest that the following course of lectures be given:

Street Car Lines Through Parks and

the Reason Thereof," Hon. Thomas

Ephraim Knotts;" "Lids and How They

Make Them." Chief McCormick of East

Chicago; "What I Think of Lake Coun

ty," Governor Marshall; "Honest City Contracts" (lecturer to be announced

later). Tours truly, C. W. G. ANOTHER sign that East Chicago is

getting in the swim is that it is about to convert a dance hall into a garage. In other words, the fashionables have gone in for motoring and the turkey trot and the grizzly bear are now thing of the past.

IT'S a shame that an amusement

park Is to be located on the Miller lake front. This will deprive Alderman Bat

tle Axe Castleman of the chance of buying a park there for the pe-pull at

only $1,200 an acre.

NOW that you are through reading this hustle out and register if you haven't done so already.

WEARy OF BEING ARRESTED.

Tired jt being continually arrested as a deserter and admitting that he was dishonorably discharged from tin army service, an appeal has been made by Ray Long of Muncle to the war de

partment to set his affairs straight by

some kind of public announcement

After being dishonorably discharged he

tore up his discharge papers, although

there had been spread broadcast bulletins asking for his arrest as a deserter. Now, every so often, he says, he is arrested by some zealous police or army officer,, and as he does not possess the discharge papers, he is spending too much time in prisons to suit him.. For the second time in two weeks he was arrested at Muncie yesterday on' a charge of desertion. He says he has lost two positions arid is Inclined to think he is being persecuted. SHOE 1'IXCIiEI) S120 CAISE. After complaining that a shoe which he had borrowed, pinched his toe, Carl BlakeJy, of Muncle examined It- and found $120 in bills. Blakely and a young woman, while automobiling In the country north of Muncie were thrown from the machine, when the steering gear broke, and were hurled into a puddle of water, but not seriously hurt. At the home of Oro Od'e. nearby, dry clothing, Including the valuable shoe, was given them. WILL. BIT FOIIKIUM COAL. , At a meeting of the Indiana Bitumin

ous Coal Operators' Association last

night at Terre Haute a resolution authorizing the appointment of a com

mittee of operators to purchase and

distribute Kentucky and West Virginia coal among the members of the association in order to protect their stand

the stand taken by the officers of the association in the recent joint confer

ence and agreed to stand firm in their

demand that the mines resume work pending negotiation of a wage con

tract. The meeting was attended by about sixty-five operators, who are said

to represent about 90 per cent of the

entire output of bituminous coal in In diana. PRIZES FOR MULE BREEDERS.

In order to stimulate Interest in mule breeding in Bartholomew county farmers have made up a purse to be offered as a special prize In addition to tho regular prises at the Bartholomew

county fair, at Columbus, for the best mules exhibited. "When a race horso

runs around the track in two minutes that's sport." said John L. Jones, president of the fair association, "but when a mule goes around the track and shows he is a good animal, that's business. We want fewer race horses and more mules. DIES OF IJIRIE. Melvin Vinson, age fifty-six, of Alexandria, died early yesterday.

The Evening Chit-Chat Oy RUTH CAMERON

How much energy do you think most of us use up In actual work, actually accomplishing things compared with the amount we use up In trying to get along with difficult people, In combating crochets, in looking; out for sharp corners of dispositions, in harmonizing Inharmonious people, and In general fretting lest we may not please or satisfy someone in some respect? For a woman, I should put the proportion at about one to one. For a man, perhaps less energy is utilized In this way.. Somehow men don't seem to be- expected to look out for other people's crochets and please everybody In quite the same way women are. The women I spoke of at the bearlnnlng dissipated her energy fretting lest she should be a little bit late. Pei-imps you've done that. But if you haven't, surely you have dissipated energy in worrying leat someone or other would not be satisfied with what you were, doing. 'I really like to iron," I heard a patient little mother say the other day." hut I Just hate to Iron Marion's ihirtwaists because aha is so particular

about them. I declare It takes less out of me to do a wholo dress for myself than a simple waist for her." A dressmaker onca told me that she would never work for people who were apt to be excessively critical and hard to pleasei, because the day's work tired her as much moro than when aha workad for reasonable people. These are but two examples of the way In which other people's crochets and whimsies and eccentricities and exactnesa take mora out of us than our work. Doubtless you can supply a hundred such Instances from your daily experience

And please, In case you are sufficiently interested In the line of thought t follow It up, please look for the ways in which your eccentricities and exactIngness take It out of other people as well aa the way other people's eccentricities and exactingness take it out of you. I assura you, you will probably find one branch of the subject as fertile as the other, and In case you are one of those peoplo with whom seeing a fault In themselves Is equivalent to trying to correct it-much more valuable.
