LACK OF KNOWLEDGE SHOWN. The lack of knowledge of Lake county politics as evidenced by articles in the Gary Evening Fost is palpable. Yesterday the Post printed a story in which it stated that the "progressive" republicans ; of the Tenth District were organizing to fight Congressman E. D. Crumpacker. The Post stated that in the absence of a candidate of their own that th-y would endorse John B. Peterson of Crown Point for the office of representative and later the democrats would nominate him. . Assuming that there is some oppo
sition to Judge Crumpacker .one of the most able men that ever repre
sented an Indiana congressional dls
trict, and that there is a progressive movement in the Tenth district It
would take too great a stretch of the Imagination to see the progressive republicans of the district endorsing a
reactionary democrat for represent tive.
John B. Peterson is an able man, an honest man and a safe man bat
his known conservatism, his work s the attorney for & number of large corporation and his known respect for vested Interests all make it Tidl-
culous to even suggest that he would
be acceptable to progressive demo
crats, let alone progressive republi
cans.
The democrats will doubtless nominate John B. Peterson for the second time. The- republicans hare
already renominated Judge Crumpacker. And the result is already
predestined.
Peterson will get the regular democratic vote with the exception of the
votes of several hundred democrats
over the district who have the great
est of admiration and respect for
Judge Crumpacker and make it
habit to split their ticket to vote for him. He will get the vote of a few republicans who are not progressives
' so much as they are soreheads. .
Crumpacker' will get the vote of
the great rank and file of his party
,He will get a large complimentary vote from the democrats who do not
believe In sending corporation attor neys to congress and, with a large re
publican majority in this district
since the district has been chang there is no question of his election
never was useful and sometimes It
has not been even ornamental.'
We have several times pointed out
that Mr. Clark has never , shown as much interest in any important bill as he has in getting offices for his
supporters, pensions for voters, and government appropriations , for hl neighborhood. This state of mind is accompanied by an intense hostility to any reduction in the spoils system.
Here is an expression: "The civil service system is the greatest and most monumental fraud ever adopted or proposed in a civilized country So great in his belief in the power of local interest that he said: "Give us as much coddling for three years tn Indiana and Ohio, to say nothing of New York, have received annually for a Quarter of a century, and tho youngest child now slumbering on his mother's breast though he should double-discount the remarkable age of Methuselah, wouldn't live long enough to see another republican presidential elector west of the Wabash river." What he desired was frankly stated thus: "We want true civil service accomplished by placing only democrats on guard fron Martha's vineyard to the Aleutian islands, and from the Lake of th Woods to the Dry Tortugas." On of the -reasons for his violence toward Grover Cleveland was Cleveland's failure to use all of his appointments to strengthen his own party. "On March 6, 1893, in his first official act, he startled all the democrats in the land and a great many republicans by appointing to the highest office within his gift a sore-head republican. According to his mugwumpish notions he could not find within the confines of the republic a democrat fit to be secretary of state." Clark's famous statement about Cleveland and a certain character in the Bible, gains added interest from the present close alliance betweu Clark and Hearst, Hearst having been busy lately likening Woodrow Wilson to this same Judas. Clark said:
There are but two men in all the
hoary registers of time that Cleveland's name ought to be associated
with Judas Iscariot and Benedict
Arnold. Shades of Arnold, forgive
the profanation. I ought to
beg pardon of Judas Iscariot because after his treason he did have the grace to go out and hang himself. It
Is sickening to think of Cleveland."
The alliance between Clark and
Hearst is also amusing In view of the mean and unconscientious distortion that Hearst is accomplishing with
Woodrow Wilson's convictions about
immigration. Clark's views on im migration are as follows; 4 .
"I believe that the wise position to
take with reference. to the matter Is to adopt an educational test that 'will largely eliminate the races from the
Mediterranean Europe and will not
interfere to any material extent with the races of northern Europe comln;
In here races of whom we can make
good citizens."
There are things to say about Mr
Clark of greater importance. These,
however, illustrate our conviction
that the speaker, however amiable.
however good a mixer, and however
satisfactory to politicians, to Mg
business, and to William Randolph Hearst, Is scarcely a man to lead a
successful revolt ajralnst a nartv
which can be overcome only by the capture of Beveral of the largest
northern states that usually go republican in presidential years a
party which includes in its ranks 3 large majority of the ablest progressives now prominent in the public eye. Collier's Weekly.

A MUNICIPAL MODEL. New York. June 8. "What I cherish most in my mind is that
we have stopped graft and theft," Mayor Gaynor said last night in addressing fifty-two city officials, members of his administration, at a dinner given for him at a hotel here. . "I am almost proud of myself that I either by blunder or intuition selected the men who now control the city government. said the mayor. "There is not a breath of suspicion among all the five million people In our city that any member of the city government Is doing other than his best or that there is a dishonest man among you. Tour work is an object lesson to the whole nation." New York city is a political division bigger In population than several of our states combined and has twice the people that some European
monarchies have; Mayor Gaynor is
known as the . good mayor4 and the best mayor that New York ever had.

CHAMP CLARK.
The duty of opposing so genial and popular 'a figure as the Hon. Beauchamp Clark In his delsre to be president is an ungrateful one. It is, however, one which, desiring both parties to put their most suitable candidate forward, we cannot escape. Clark's "break" about reciprocity was not an accident. It was characteris tic. As far back as 1893 he said: "There are two pieces of ground on the North -American continent that I want to see annexed to the Unite!
States. One is Cuba and the other is every foot of British North American possessions, no matter how far north
they extend." One of his pet ideas
is shown in the following quotation:

Plays known to be good are in
