The business interests of the coun try are taking a long breath in antlpation of the presidential nominating conventions that are to be held in Chicago and Baltimore this month. If everything goes all right it i3 expected that prosperity will continue. If capital is not satisfied with the prospects there is likely to be another period of industrial depression. That is the trouble with the present system of government in the United tSates. The people of the country may be sure of a consistent line of action for only four years and no longer. So for the next month or so business will practically suspend so that the business interests can see whether or not the people are going to be conservative or whether or not they will go off on another tangent. And, diverging somewhat, Roosevelt maintains that the will of the people shall prevail.' If the will of the people as expressed by the election of 1896 had prevailed William Jennings Bryan would have been made president. Can the expressed preZerence of the people by relied upon implicitly when the populistic movement in the west is remembered. This made a movement that gained a great deal of ground and yet which is now generally discredited. MODEL CITY CHARTER. THE BULLETIN, ever mindful of its purpose to advance the cause of civic betterment, everywhere throughout the country ,is delighted when the people of a great Commonwealth awaken to a realization that the Government of Its municipalities is a business proposition and not a political device to furnish places for a borde of hungry and rapacious taxeaters. Today there is much evidence on every hand to gratify and thrill with pleasure the soul of those who have for years been crying out against the almost criminal idiocy of operating the Governments of our cities as ad juncts to political machines there is much in sight to warrant the prediction that the days of criminal idiocy are about over. A week or two ago the BULLETIN published a resume of the charter that has been drafted for the Gov ernment of the, cities of Indiana This charter contains many provi sions that entitle it to be called Pro gressive; yet it is withal absolutely sane and safe ;for its purpose is to promote efficiency and economy. To the Cincinnatian the most marvelous thing about this proposed charter is that it has been approved by the Federated Commercial Clubs and other business organiaztions of Indiana. It would be gratifying to know how the Indiana reformers succeeded In doing this. Perhaps it might be well to learn their methods, for who knows but similar methods might also have an -influence with the business organiaztions of Cincinnati ;that they too might be Induced to look upon the Improvement of municipal Government as & question

'THE

Mr lDAY THE lETERAXS. Every year they're marching slower Every year they'a stooping; lower Every year the lilting music lrs the hearts of elder mrng Every year the lings above them Seem to bend and bleas and love them As If irrlevlns; for the future whea they'll never march again. Every year that day draws nearer. Every year the truth la clearer, That the men who enved the nation from the severing southern sword Soon must pass away forever From the scene of their endeavor, Soon must answer to the roll rail of the angel of the Lord. Every year with dwindling number, Loyal atlll to those that slumber, Forth they march to where already many have found peace at last. And they, place the fairest blossoms 'er the silent, mold'rlng bosoms Of the valiant frienda nnd comrades of the battles of the past. Every year grow dimmer, duller. Tattered flag and faded color. Every year the hands thnt bear them Had n harder task to do. And the eyes that only brightened When the blase of battle lightened, I.Ike the tattered flags they follow, are grown dim and faded too. Every year we see them massing. Every year we watch them passing. Scarcely pausing In our hurry nfter pleasure, after gain. But the battle flags above them Seem to bend nnd bless and love them. And through all the lilting music sounds nn undertone of pain. Denis A. McCarthy. in which politics cuts no figure; that it is a business proposition pure and simple. It is notorious that our business organizations have been obsessed with a horror of politics ;they have seen the bete noirs of politics in every proposition to rescue the city from the hands of the political shys ter and Doodling ward politician As a result Cincinnati was for years governed by the machine for the benefit of the machine. AfTd the business men paid the bill! They were stewed in their own fat by the Peerless Leaders. And all because of a timidity that prevented them from doing their duty to their city as well as to themselves. They per mitted a faw time-savers and tlou ble-dealers to monopolize the game of politics. Any proposition Intend ed to rescue the city from the grasp of the Peerless Leaders was shun ned as though it were a case of con fluent smallpox, i The Indiana business organiza tions appear to be of different mettle. for they evidently have no scruple3 about talking politics and doing politics, so far as their city Govern ments are concerned. It is Bald that God hates a coward. It follows then that He loves a brave man. How great must be His affec tion for theybuslness men of Indi ana? That the chatter is attracting much interest is evidenced by the number of applications that are coming to this office, for copies of THE BULLETIN containing Mr Thieme's address Citizens Bulletin. GRAIN AND STEEL. The largeness of the 1912 crops will determine the breadth of business in the Calumet steel district next year. Our mills, both trust and independent, have orders ahead to keep them running full blast until the fall. At the present time railroads are awaiting the crop reports so that they can gauge their orders for future requirements. Happily the crop outlook is bright and if the results are as favorable as the prospects there will be such a demand for rolling stock, locomotives and steel of all descriptions that the mills liter ally will be flooded with commiss Ions. ANOTHER LITTLE DEAL. Several months ago A. P. Melton former city engineer of Gary, who has a reputation for the strictest honesty and efficiency, was made consulting engineer and commission ed to draw plans for the Ridge road sewer system. He made what engi neers believe Is a liberal estimate something like $276,000. None of the local " sewer contrac tors would bid on the job. It seems that they are holding out for $300 000. Outside constractors have al ways found it a hard task to get a Gary contract. For instance an outside firm once bid against a Gary contractor on a Tolleston job and the latter was awarded the contract at $113,000 or nearly $6,000 above the lowest bidder. If Ridge road property owner3 stand by and see themselves mulcted of $24,000 without a fight on their part they deserve no sympathy

PROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED. Since the terrible automobile accident at the 92nd street bridge two week3 ago in which five persona lost their lives one would think that something ought to be done to elim

inate others of the same nature but the same policy is still in swing. Thn only red light denoting that the bridge is open is in the centre of the bridge is and not any too large. Why doesn't the city put heavy chains across the approach when the bridge is open and hang red lights on the chains as they do down town? It is about time that some one awakes to the fact that this is the second accident in which machines have taken the awful plunge Into the murky waters of Calumet river ust because of the lack of a couple of heavy chains and a few red lights. If they do not put the chains and ights on the bridge let them close the street to all traffic and use the 95th street bridge instead. HOW THEY MISSED IT. Preachers who complain about the salary they get or perhaps don't get can easily find the reason if they will only stop to think for a moment. Had they only in their youth been great baseball players or pugilists they might have won full purses on coming into the ministry. Then again they cannot expect to become rich unless they become sen sational. It Is the preachers who are using vile language in the pul pit who are getting the money. GOOD AND BAD DEEDS. If it should be true, that there is a day slowly unfolding itself from the scroll of time when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, the reve lations in some quarters, will be sur prising without a doubt says an ex change. Under how many immacu lats shirt fronts are coiled the snakes that hiss and sing. Beneath soft laces and bleaming jewels hide little venemous, crawling objects unworthy of a name. But all these secrets will not be evil. The well kept story of many a good deed, of helpfulness to those who never knew whence the succor came these secrets, too, shall be given up if that day ever dawns ISMAY said in England that the Titanic inquiry was brutally unfair. Thats what hundreds of sorrowing relatives of those at the bottom of the sea think of Mr. Ismay. "PEOPLE should walk more," says an exchange, yes and they walk more -when these Michigan Central freights demoralize the street car service. SCIENTIST says it is doubtful whether a drunken man is cause cr effect. If you can make up your mind you are entitled to draw one. CHICAGO Tribune says that Taft should withdraw. There is nothing now for the president to do but to obey the Chicago Trib. OUR opinion is that a band-wagon is just as dangerous a vehicle to be about as a 60 h. p. machine driven by a drunken driver. SOME people have misconstrued our advice. They are swatting the presidential candidates instead of swatting the flies.TERRE Haute has 1,500 empty houses and is not bragging any more however about being a wide open town. THE June bride and the sweet girl graduate of June are both divid ing the spotlight and they both look good. GOV. Wilson of New Jersey 1b having a mighty hard time trying to squeeze into the limelight. IT might be well to remember that the dog-danger season is approaching fast. THERE are evidences of plenty of hot air and frosts at the same time this month. - IT keeps the eyes of the nation mighty busy to keep track of things nowadays. In the meantime look how busy the farmer the savior of our country is. FAULT finding would not be so easy if there were not so many faults. HOW'S your last summer's straw bonaet looking?

Heart toleaii Talks. By EDWIN A. NYU

TO THE NAN Or FORTY. It Is the common saying that unless a man has succeeded In life by the time he is forty years of age he never will succeed. The statement is too broad. It Is untrue. The facts do not sustain' it A study of the lives of the successful will show that success comes to most men after rather than before forty. Is It financial success? Who, save by simulation, has amassed a fortune before he was forty? Or politics? Few get more than fairly started in politics before that age. He who goes to the United States senate at fifty Is rated as a young member. Or merchandise or literature'or art er the professions? Most of as at forty are only jnst ready for successful endeavor. We have made onr mistakes and learned of experience. We have discovered onr right place in life and our limitations. Years have matured Judgment, and the brain stands guard over the passions. Life and literature teem with illustrations of success at forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, even ninety. Fortunate is he who is in the way of success at the age of forty; fortunate he who, though unsuccessful, has learned his world and himself and has not lost courage. Courage that is the prime thing. No matter what his age, yon cannot keep a brave man down. He may stumble and fait and fall again and again. Bnt he will get up. And some day when be has worked his will concerning himself he will have about him his own charmed circle of accomplishment where "none durst walk but he." Are yoa forty or more? Hold up your chin and walk on your heels and toes. You are fairly fitted to do what you want to do and become what you want to be. No young man can buy from you your personal experience, whatever he may offer as the price. At forty yoa are the son of the God of Things as they are. You bare out lived your Illusions. You know the ways of your fellows. Yoa know your own ways. Is it not so? From the fullness of your experience you are mightily equipped out of de feat to organize victory. Having overcome yourself, you may overcome the world. For greater is he that ruleth bis own spirit than he that taketh a city. There la in yon. battered though yon be. the power of eonquest. Courage! Ton are ready to begin. HE A"R D BT RUBE HAVE you donned your B. V. D.'s yet? CAN it be that T. R. is putting forth that he is a heavy milk drinker merely to part the unsuspecting Hobart township and Porter county dairy shippers from their votes? CONSIDER the humble frogr.

SWA T THE FLY; DO IT NOW AND SPARE NOT THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES FOR SHE'S LOTS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE MALE

Hcw"to HI Bwet the fly! You should have done it long ago, but It isn't too late yet. The fly which you eaw on April 10 and tenderly permitted to live, if a female, nof has nearly 200 children.

MORE than a few of the Indianapolis race tourists made Crown Point a "tanking up" station on their return to Chicago, and the drink emporiums pronted accordingly. From our Crown Point column. Among other things we mention that our special correspondent. Hennery Coldbottle, returned from the speedway via Crown Point. SEEING that a detective posing as a contractor has trapped a half dozen Atlantic City officials as grafters, might it not be well for the Gary war office to look up the present whereabouts of T. B. Dean? AND while we are at it: Wouldn't it be well for some of the seashore officials to take a little run down to Lake county to get pointers for the defense? "SHE was the happiest woman in Chicago, she asserted. No queen was ever half so Joyous at her coronation as was Mrs. Qulnn when her innocence had been declared by a jury." Chicago Record-Herald. Now, who told you that queens being crowned are Joyous. We bet you that the wife of any Lake county cop who pinches more than three speeders on a Sunday is a prouder woman than a queen.
