valuable space. In the interim it should not be forgotten that Battleaxe is not a publie official for he still continues as president of the Gary park board. His temporary dismissal from the aldermanic duties will give him time to work out the intricate financial details of the proposed half million dollar bond issurt to provide the pe-pull a park and the city contractors something to do to keep their, bank accounts properly adjusted.
OR, THE OUTLOOK. A man who died the other day at the age of eighty-three was an omnivorous reader. He had written 70 books and reviewed 40,000 cf them. Truly, reading does not kill, maybe it is conducive to a long life; but if any of our readers should essay to duplicate the feat let them please keep shy of the Congressional Record and the Chicago Tribune's daily Lorimer budget.
POOR HELPLESS CUSSES. Just how anybody could want to be a doorkeeper at the republican convention is just as hard as trying to understand how any one could want to be a delegate. Either is a dog's life as long as the job lasts. The majority of people seem to think that a delegate or a doorkeeper has "open sesame" to a national convention and that they can enlarge the building in which the deliberations are held by stretching it in some mysterious fashion. These requests for tickets or admittance come In various phases and forms. The most of them it is really distressing to be compelled to refuse. A delegate has one ticket besides his own for his family a doorkeeper cannot admit anyone unless he has a ticket and there you are.
Yet a great many people honestly believe that either of these men can get them In the convention if they
want to do so. They have the idea firmly imbued in their head3 that
there is some mysterious under
ground way of either getting tickets or smuggling good people inside the Coliseum. The higher officials of th3 convention are beset with the same difficulty. Take Col. Harry New. Life these days Is an absolute burden for him. He is afraid to appear on the street. In the Congress lobbies,
people waylay him. They camp for hours on his trail. His mail .'a
swamped with appeals and he is ab
solutely helpless. And there are others.
All see the one clearly today, but not the other. Vet they are alike. The cotton mills where 'women and little children work 12 to 14 hours h
day ,and starve at it, are as bloody as the massacre of St. Bartholomew's aDy, and the responsibility of it is as definite. We condemn the St. Bartholomew crime, today but the other is simply an "economic misfortune." For the State to pay the attorney on one side of a case and not the other .thereby permitting the gross
est inequalities between rich and
poor in our courts, is exactly parallel
to the old laws whereby free speech
was permitted to some and denied to
others.
We understand the necessity of a
free press today but we can't yet
see that to allow one defendant to spend a hundred thousand dollars for counsel that another cannot obtain
is unjust and heathenish.
Truly the fashion of Liberty's garb
today is strange and unusual. Yet we are beginning to recognize her, and human rights are nearer than
ever to a full realization. The everlasting and unchanging finger of God
has written that when some receive labor othersmust labor without re
ceiving; and Liberty, clothed now in
the garment of industrialism, bids U3 to heed her carefully and think, If we can, what thing it Is that repre
sents value, and for which those who
receive the benefits do not work.
BULLY FOR "TJNE3E."
Lncle Slria Odle, originator and
leader of the June singing, desires to
announce that although with a brok
en leg he will be on the ground this year at Cedar Gap, as he has been tor
the last seventeen years or more, to assist with the singing, and expects
to see all the old time singers pre?
ent as well as hundreds who cannot
sing. Symour (Mo.) Citizen.'
TIME GIVES PERSPECTIVE.
We are now seeing in the process
Of making some very lively para
graphs of American history. Whether
they who are to come will view the present Taft-Roosevelt conflict with
the same interest that the present generation gives to Grant's third-
term ambitions Is beyond our ken
However, whatever position the years assign the eventful doings of these days in history, we may be quite sure in thirty or forty years
hence that the time-mellowed per
spective they will have then will be
a most interesting one.
ANOTHER SIGHT. South Chicago is known all over the south end of Lake Michigan by the glare of her furnaces and her Bessemer steel plant. The lights of the South Chicago mills are the guilding 6tars of all ships bound for Chicago and its vicinity. The steel mills illumination has long, been considered one of the most spectacular nocturnal views in the Calumet region. Now we have another sight, one that will interest the visitor and will serve to show the residents that one of its plants is in operation. This new sight can be seen almost any night by looking directly east on 92nd street. Looking, in that direction you will frequently see a' glare which will light up the skies for a few minutes and then all will once more be in darkness.
The light comes from the new Iro
quois plant across the river, almost directly opposite . the foot of 92nd
street. The new furnace is now in operation and from Ninety-second street and Commercial avenue its
glare is a pretty and a welcome sight
Thus at one end of JCinety-second
street we have the Columbus foun
tain and at the other the new Iroquois Iron Furnace building on made
land, and made possible through the persistent energy of the citizens of
South Chicago. It is another indica
tor of our industrial prosperity and
is indeed a welcome sight at the foot
of our main business street. All
those glittering, glaring lights spell
success and we cannot have too many of them. They are always a welcome
sight and we always welcome an in
creased industrial " illumination. South Chicago Calumet.
The lights of the Calumet region
which Col. Boiling speaks of are very pretty at night and while we are glad to have South. Chicago, as a next
door neighbor our own Gary and In
diana Harbor do the biggest share in
llluminatipg the heavens.
SOMEBODY asked Dr. Wiley the

place in Chicago next week and ha
answered, "Hell." Doc is chirping up considerably since the new baby

INDUSTRIAL LIBERTY.
The-spirit of Liberty is the same yesterday, today and forever. The garments enveloping her change with the ages; her guise today is new and strange. , The struggle was once with kings. That is nearly over. The wild savagery of religious persecution has had an end. The lions, the stake and the cross have passed into the dim shadowy of a pitiful and pitiless past. So, too, has been won the cruel
war for the privilege of free speech,
and the loosening of the tongue has brought with it the , freeing of the
mind.
Today the struggle of great souls
is for industrial liberty.
J. P. Morgan, inheriting millions of dollars from his father,, entered
into a heritage as ridiculous to per
mit as the "Divine right" to a crown that Charles the First Inherited from his father.
. CARRIES "EX" TEMPORARILY.
Because the Gary Commercial club's ouster suit against Alderman
Battleaxe Castleman has been sue
cessful it is no sign that the fifth
ward statesman of the steel city will not continue in office. As far as the lineup is arranged now he is out of office only temporarily and unless Mayor Knotts and the majority of
his colleagues do otherwise, Mawrus3
Napoleon will be re-elected by the
municipal legislature at its very next
meetis:.
Elected in 1909 by a majority of
ten votes Battleaxa has been a picturesque and a- turbulent character
ever since he went into the council.

have nothing.on him as a city father.
It was Castleman who introduced or
fathered such measures in the council as creating two chiefs of police,
recommending that the safety commissioners he paid high enough so that they wouldn't steal, for grant
ing a street car , franchise through
Jefferson park, opening up streets
through the steel mill property, defying the traction ynjunctlons of the courts, letting city contracts to the highest bidder, buying an $1800
automobile by himself for the police
department, a vehicle whleh was con
signed to the junk pile two months after the city officials had some very
pleasant Joy rides, and reducing. sa-
looa license fees. -A lot more might

NOKMAN Mack has fobbed up
long enough to get a word in edge
