It Is a strange thing that the editor of a paper that ought to know public sentiment in the community
in which his paper circulates is will
ing to subjugate the demands of the people to his own fear that he will
lose a job or two of city printing.
If motives of selfish Interest are
all that concern him it Is time that
some of his advertisers were inform ing him that he will lose their busl
ness if he does not do all he can ti
bring the couneil to time. It is apparent to those who-knew
the traction situation that it could
have been settled just at satisfactorily two weeks ago as it could today and that two weeks, two months
or two years would not evolve any
better plan than that which has al ready been adopted. THEN WHY DELAY?

BUNCOMBE EH? Is the East Chicago Globe repre
senting its patrons'or Is it representing the city council of. East Chicago as against the public interest in this moot franchise proposition? Which weighs more heavily in the balance with the Globe, the unanimous public demand for an immediate settlement of this problem or the unconcealed belief of its editor that it behooves him to stand by the city council in whatever it does for fear he will lose the city printing? It does not take a keen observer to note that every business man of any
consequence in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, every property owner, the bankers and the heads of industrial concerns demand the immediate granting of franchises in East Chicago. Neither does it require much perspicuity to see that the city councilmen who are delaying the project are either doing so because their pride, has been hurt by the action of the citizens' committee in putting their recommendations directly up to the council for immediate action or because they think there is something in it for them if they hold off
until the patience of the street rail
way company is exhausted. The Globe remarks: "There has been a lot of "buncombe" rushed into print about delaying the Baldwin Locomotive works which seems silly to one looking at the matter squarely."
This, in effect, Is a statement that the authorized declarations of the
very business men who located the
Baldwin plant and certainly ought to know the situation, are buncombe. The actual facts of the case are that a number of the members of the East Chicago council are not big enough to hold the offices to which they are elected, that they ought to be recalled by popular vote and if their dilly-dallying results in the failure of the Baldwin Co. to build they ought to be taken out and tarred and feathered.

P00R OLD MUNCIE. Since Muncie found it had a Mr3
Anthony who was wearing diamonds in the heels of her "kicks" everything has gone wrong down there. The Muncie Press says: "Of course you have noticed that every woman desires to dresa so that her attire is different than that of every other woman. Some , of them- have a pretty difficult time making- it. That is why at least a few of them look ridiculous. There is Madaline who wears a skirt that looks like a gunny sack. Her papa paid possibly $20 for that. Then there is Klizabeth, whose skirt is shy about two and one-half yards of material. Elizabeth has a hard time sitting: down. She has to pull the fullness from the bottom of that garment and she is offended when somebody, even a woman, unconsciously peeks at her ankles. Next comes Mary Ann with an abbreviated shirtwaist and her
mosquito bar stocklng-s, some times called hose. If the mercury drops to 0 it's all the same to Mary Ann. She wouldn't cover up her nakedness for a little thing like that. Mercy no."
GARY SCHOOL LITERATURE. The public schools of Gary are to
day the subject of an inspection visit on the part of the public school principals of Chicago. They have heard so much about the Gary schools that
they -are going to look at their workings first hand.
Gary's schools are this month
the subject of a lengthy illustrated
article In the June number of the
Pictorial Review which is already on the news stands.
Recently the Gary schools have
been featured In the Brlckbuilder,
the American School Board Journal,
Hampton's Magazine, the Iron Age,
the Elementary School Teacher,
School and Home Education. The World Today, Minneapolis Journal, Toronto Globe, Newark News, Chicago Sunday Tribune, Cook County School News, Das Schulzlmmer, the official educational publication of
the Kingdom of Prussia, Charlottenburgh, Germany, Revista De Educacion, Havana ,and a score or more
other publications.

"FLIES." Fly time is now here. Fly swatting time now the fashion up and down the land. If you want to read about flies on a farm give your attention to this little gem of Walt Mason's who is telling in Colliers' of the days when he was a farmhand: "Mr. Rambo's kitchen had i
screen door, the first one manufac
tured, but there was something
wrong with the hinges, and It wouldn't stay-shut, and the files held
all of their conventions, and cau
cuses there. Flies have a passion for fried pork, and will travel many kilometers to indulge in it, and all
the flies within a mile of Mr. Ram
bo's assembled there at noon and held high wassail. . As I toiled in
the field I used to see them listening for the dinner bell, and at the first stroke they would turn and fly to the
house In such swarms that they oh scured the sun."
If the files are as bad as Walt describes them they nearly equal In numbers , the literary ones that
swarm about our editorial paste-pot
on a hot July day.
EVIDENTLY the Laporte Argu3Bulletln places little stock in the

"GOV. Marshall Is Strong," says a democratic newspaper in reviewing
the presidential situation. Yes he

CLARK AND BRYAN. Last October long before the present Kaleidescopic political flip-flops had taken place this paper expressed the opinion that W. J. Bryan would be next nominee for president on the democratic ticket.
It looks that way more than' ever
it did and for many reasons.
The conditions favor many ballots
and a hard fight at the Baltimore convention. It is already certain
that no other democrat than Beau-
champ Clark can possibly go into the convention with even a majority of
the delegates to say nothing of the
two-thirds required.
Clark will be fortunate if he gets half the number required to wlnL on the first ballot and much of the op
position to him will prove very determined. Indeed it seems that after the first ballot, Clark's fight will be
harder than ever. So far the Speaker of the House has failed to get the delegates frori Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Indiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, North Dakota, the greater part of Maine and nearly all of Wisconsin. He has no chance for the Ohio delegation, on the first ballot, at any
rate, nor can he hope for the support
of South Carolina. Many other
states are doubtful and may fail him. The odds are all against his chance3 for even a majority of the convention at the start. Wilson will do
well if he begins with one-quarter of
the delegates. Such conditions, with the twothirds rule In force, look like a deadlock. They justify the efforts and keep alive the hopes of all candidates .who have a chance for secondary support. They are mightily
interesting to William Jennings Bryan. It begins to look more and

Edward Tiffin and Fred
W ashington, D. C, May 19. The gov
ernment land office is one hundred
years old. The first independent bu
reau established in Washington, it was started on its career May 7, 1812.
The government land office, like the
little acorn, had a small beginning. When Edward Tlflen, a former senator and also at one time governor of Ohio, was made the first commissioner, the department employed only nine men.
Now, under the administration of the present commissioner, Fred Dennett,
there are over two thousand employes
and the congressional appropriation for
this year for the maintenance of the
department Is over $3,000,000. ,
Since the establishment of the land
office many interesting personalities
have been at Its head. Not the least interesting was the first commissioner.
Born an Englishman, Tiffin had been
educated tor medicine and became a
Methodist preacher. He was preaching in Ohio when he got into politics. He

signed in anger from the senate, de
claring that no white man could live
in such an abominably climate as that of Washington. During this time he was the adviser of Jefferson and an enemy of Aaron Burr. Despite, his distaste for Washington he returned in 1812 as commissioner of the land office, and held on to that job intermittently until 1829, when he was summarily dismissed by President Jackson. His friends attributed his death less than a week afterward to wrath over his dismissal. Abraham Lincoln applied for the position of commissioner in 1854. but failed of appointment. Walt Whitman, the poet, was at one time employed by the land office, as was also "Marse Henry" Watterson of Kentucky. Public lands to the extent of 1,849,072,087 acres were to be disposed of by the department at its inception and during the hundred years that have elapsed 1.153.670,826 acres have been
given and sold to homesteaders, rail-

This Week's News Forecast
Washington, D. C, May IS. Ohio the home State of President Taft,
candidate for renominatlon on the Republican ticket, and of Judson Harmon, who aspires to head the Democratic presidential ticket, will have a
practical monopoly of the political stage the coming week. With the ex
ception of the Democratic State convention in Virginia, the primaries to be
held by both parties in Ohio Tuesday will furnish the only event of the week for the selection of delegates to either of the national conventions. Immediately after the close of the Ohio campaign President .Taft and Colonel Roosevelt will turn their attention to New Jersey, which . is to
furnish the battleground one week later. Both the leading Republican can
didates and Senator LaFollette also will be heard in New Jersey toward the
end or the week. -
To demonstrate the evolution of transportation methods, especially In
the United States and Canada, a Travel and Vacation Exhibition will open Thursday in the Grand Central Palace In New York City, to continue for nun
week. The exhibition will be the first of . its kind ever held in the United
States. The great concrete causeway at Galveston, Texas, connecting the island
with the mainland, will be formally opened Saturday with elaborate ceremonies. The completion of this great englneerin achievement marks the
final completion of all of the monster protection works undertaken by
Galveston since the flood that devastated the city ten years ei?o. The cost of the yorks agregates nearly 10,000,000. . ,
The annual regatta of the American Rowing Association, popularly
known as the American Henley, will be held Saturday on the Schuylkill River course at Philadelphia. The contestants in the several events will Include
ciews from Cornell, Pennsylvania, rrinceton, Yale, Columbia, Harvard and
numerous smaller colleges and schools.
Famous experts in inland and ocean navigation from all parts of the
world will" attend the twelfth International Congress of Navigation, which will begin its sessions Thursday in Philadelphia. As a result of the reccpt Titanic disaster it is expected that the question of safety in maritime navi
gation will have a prominent place in the discussions. - Other important gatherings of the week will include the annual meetings of the Northern Baptist General Convention at Des Moines, the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association at New Orleans, the American Unitarian Association in Boston, the .National Association of Manufacturers at New York, the Associated Adertising Clubs of America at Dalas, the Canadian Asociation for the Preention of Tuberculosis at Toronto, the National Association of Piano Merchants at Atlantic City, the National Society Sons of the American Reolution at .Boston, and the Mississippi Valley conference of woman suffragists at Chicago.
