There must be 20,000,000 women

in Germany. And all of them are, beyond question, beautiful. Each

would eagerly pay her 1 forty-live

cents to establish that fact officially.

This would mean an annual revenue of about $9,000,000. Hats off to the Kaiser!

BUGGIE. An Indiana man named Fred Buggie

has started -a vice-presidential boom

for Jim Garfield, ignoring the splendid timber here in our own Hoosler

state. Buggie is a Roosevelt man

but evidently thinks very little of

LOCAL PROSPERITY CERTAIN

There is an unmistakable tendency

on the part of some people to exer

cise a degree of, business conservat

ism on account of the approaching

election and the uncertainty as to

the outcome of it.

A great many of the best financial

authorities are of the opinion that it

will make but little difference with

business whether Taft or Roosevelt

or Clark or Wilson are made presi

dent of the United States.

As THE TIMES has pointed out in

times of business depression elections and general business conditions have little to do with local prosperity. The Calumet region has such a remarkable potential development that it could not catch up with ifs warranted growth in ten years. That is why the panic of 1907 was felt but little in the cities of the region, in spite of the fact that many factories were closed or their output curtailed.

So if the people of the region are

contemplating development enterprises they may as well go ahead as

though the' presidential election was

a thing of the past.

THE TIMES gave its reader? the

benefit of this advice immediately following the panic of 1907 and as a result - in all of the cities of the

region there was a tremendous

amount of building activity.

The artisans in the building trades were kept busy while they were idle

in other cities. The simple differ

ence between the cities of the Calu

met region and those of other sec

tions of the country was the fact that the local communities had confidence

in the future.

SCHOOL PUBLICITY.

Nearly all big business corpora

tions now days have publicity agents

Banks, railroads, street car com

panies and steamship lines have them. They are employed not only

for the purpose of booming things but in this latter day they are a necessary, adjunct, as the public now

demands to know more about cor

poratlons, their methods, their expenditures and to what use money is

being put.

Municipal corporations are fol

lowing their example. New York

city issues a newspaper devoted to city affairs and Los Angeles has a big eight-page newspaper conducted by

municipal editors not only for the purpose of giving notices about

taxes, assessments and contract let

ting but about city prdgress, and

what different departments are do

ing, how the public funds are being

spent and what new things are being

contemplated.

Schools play such an important part of our relations that it won't be

long before every up-to-date board of

education has a publicity agent. Such

an official would be a great factor in

interesting the parents more in the work and when school operations are better understood by the taxpayers there will be greater co-operation existing. And no better means of promoting these relations can be had as through a publicity agent. As it is our schools are doing a lot of good work that sometimes but few know about.

r GREAT IS WTLHELM.

The Kaiser of the Germans is a mighty man. At his word move armies whose tread shakes a continent. At his nod the guns of warships send their thunder rolling across the deep. , When he clenches his mailed fist, all Europe gets ready for trouble. Now one would suppose that when the Kaiser wants more money with which to run the empire as it ought to be run, he brusquely says "Produce," and it is produced. But not

always so. Wilhelm knows a thing or two besides military and naval tactics and hew to bluff an adversary

off the map. Witness this, from a re

cent cable dispatch: "The German

Jt.roperor nas suggested that every beautiful woman in the empire shall

be taxed forty-five cents a year." How delightfully simple and easy!

And, how strange that the shrewd

and practical Yankee nation hasn't

thought of this plan long" ago. No need of tax assessors and collectors

; here. No protests against unreason-

; able taxation. The only inconveni

ence the government would have

.would be to provide enough clerks tto take the money from the onrush- , lng crowds of women. The only note of discord In the entire proceedings

would come from the woman who iwas not notified of the levying of the tax. We are compelled to admit that

deal of satisfaction that while it has

the deepest veneration for things re

ligious and the greatest respect for the humble preachers, it has always

held up to scorn and obloquy, ranting

revivalists who use language in the

pulpit not fit for a barroom.

We are glad to see other newspap

ers place these sensationalists of

pioneering.

So conservative a newspaper as the

Chicago Evening Post says:

It seems to be generally assumed

that the excesses of the old-time re

llgious evangelist are gradually dis

appearing. The revivalist himself

may be as emotional as his prototype,

but he is usually somewhat better

educated than his forerunners were and he is talking to better educated

and better mannered audiences than

were common, perhaps, in rural com

munities several decades ago.

No doubt this general notion is a

true one, but itis somewhat startling

to learn from Dr. Washington Glad

den, in the current issue of the New

York Independent, that there are re vivalists preaching in this year o

grace and clvlliation who are using

some pretty strong language in thei

work language which no public

speaker In any other line of endeavo

would dare to use. Dr. Gladden gives

a number of examples of utterances

which have been made by revivalist

this past year from protestant plat

forms, usually in the presence of the leading protestant clergymen of the

community. Some of these examples are as follows: '

A young man or - woman who fights against the Christian life can not measure character with a grizzly ape or a yellow dog. It takes a little weazen-headed, jug-headed man to doubt God I've sure got . down to the size of some Jf the mutts of your town this morning. Let me say that when you little vile hounds attack me you are a liar and a coward, for it ' Is the cause of Jesus Christ and all the churches united In these meetings you are striking over my shoulders. You little bum, I'm calling; your bluff.

In one town the editors of the

newspapers had criticised the revival

ist. He mentioned them in his pub

lic prayer that night as follows: They're a bad lot. Lord Jesus, a bad lot. Let me give You a tip, ' Lord Jesus. , If You go after those fellows You'd better put on rubber gloves.

In another instance the revivalist grew very angry at the liberal char

acter of ; the remarks made by a local

pastor. He said: . The statement has been made here in this town by some dirty

RUNS TO THWART RESCUERS. George Vaught, 28 year old, an employe of the Consolidated Stone Company, committed suicide at his home t Bloomington Saturday night by taking carbolic acid in the presence of his

markets because of the high price of meat. The fight has been waxing hot

ter for a number of days, the women

seeming to think they can reduce the

price of meat by militant methods. So they have started & campaign of destruction, using kerosene, deadly chemicals and brickbats for weapons. The brickbats are used In smashing windows; the .kerosene and chemlcula have been found effective in destroying meat. As a sample of the methods used by the women may be cited the experience of a woman who bought a chicken and was on her way home when a dozen of her sex swooped down, upon her. .

"Throw that chicken away," was the

yell.

The woman pressed the lucklesa

fowl closer to her, whereupon she wi attacked and the bird was torn from

her grasp, soused in a pail of kerosene

and thrown into the gutter.

The crusaders against high price have worked very effectively in some instances. They walked quietly Into a number of markets, and, before they were detected, threw acids over the exposed meats. Mrs. Heath, although she is opposed to destructive methods, counsels punishing the high-priced mc;at men by boycotting their places of business. "The only way to lower the price is to refuse to buy the meats," she says. "Why, over in the section where the riots are taking place chuck steak sells at 18 cents a pound. Think of that:.
