The progressive superintendent of the Gary public schools has secured appropriations for some Victrola music boxes and grand opera records which are to be placed in several of the schoolrooms this fall. This is a new innovation and it is a good one. Good music and the voices of the great singers cannot but serve to have an elevating influence and to cultivate an appreciation for the beautiful. Before long we hope to have the pleasure of printing that some other progressive educator has been able to install a motion picture machine in our schools. WATTERSON AND WILSON. Six months ago Col. Watterson had this to say about Wood row Wilson : "He who could show himself so disloyal to private friendship can not be trusted to be loyal to anything. Within a single year Governor Wilson's radical change of base, his realignments and readjustments, personal and political, his offenses to so some and apologies to others, hava been exactly concurrent with his selfish aims. There seems no abasement Into which he is unable to descend with equal facility and grace. May God protect Democracy from such a leader and such leadership!" " In spite of the devout wish thus expressed by the editor of the'Cour-ier-Journal, Wilson, by the grace of William Jennings Bryan It would harrow Watterson's feelings unduly to suggest a higher power was made official head of the Democratic party Yet Col. Watterson, loyal to his party through many years, .will swallow the nauseous dose held to bis lips and remain loyal. , But he wishes it dis tinctly understood that It is the par ty, not the man, that he will work for. He says; . "As J did not break away from Governor Wilson without what was to my mind good reason, I can not because he rides in triumph find occasion to reverse myself. , I came on close acquaintance to dislike and dis trust him. But I bear him no malice, and I hope that events will prove me to have been mistaken. He is an able man, with an Intellect highly trained, tyrannous by nature and despotic by the vocation and habit of a lifetime in the schoolroom. I can easily cou ceive how such a man may do what a man gentler and more agreeable a man fully sensible of the obligation? and amenities of human intercourse might fail of doing." A candidate who can find any com fort in that sort of "support" must b Btrangely constituted. Governor W'il son should wish to be saved from the Kentucky editor rather more than from his opponents of the opposite parties. Up to date Republicans have need only to look to Democrats for ammunition against Wilson. Indi anapolis Star.

Pop for the EM DAY

TO THE OCEAN. To the ocean bow I fly And those happy climes that lie - Where day never shuts hla eye, ll to the board fields of the sky There I sack the liquid ntr All amidst the garden fair AIook the erlsped shades and bowers KeTels the spruce- and Jocund spring; There eternal summer dwells And west winds with musky wing; About the cedsrn alleys fling Narl and cassia's balmy smells. Iris there with humid bow. Waters the odorous banks that blow FloiTfrd of more mingled hue Than kpr purified sesirf cnn ikoir, And drenches with Elyslan dew Beda of hyacinths aad roses. Milton. WHERE MHARG IS. The Lake County TIMES make the following inquiry : "In the meantime where' precioua Ormsby McHug?" The best reply, perhaps, to this in quiry is the following press telegram from New York: "New York, July 1. Ormsby McHarg, one of the Roosevelt managers, and who handled the Roosevelt contest before tha national committee, ' Saturday declared that he would not Join In a revolt against the republican party. Mcllarg said he would remain regular and support President Taft. "He said: 'I never was connected officially with the Roosevelt campaign, but took u pthe work much against my Inclinations, on the solicitation of very close friends. After the convention I severed my connection with the movement "There Is no feeling of resentment," continufd McHarg. "Mr. Roosevelt would have been much better oft If left alone to work out his own destiny. When they got out to Chicago he was retarded by persons who did him more harm than Rood, who insisted that everything imaginable be done, and who wanted all the glory themselves. "Well, they got the glory without the victory. To tell the truth, there are many things which will be told some time about this whole affair. At the same time I don't believe his managers will try to get very far with the third party movement. "They haven't the power to build up the organization necessary, nor are there the men behind movement to put It through." the DISRESPECT FOR THE LAW. "Indiana's laws are antedated and antiquated. Mayor Knotts of our city has made about the same reflections on the antiquated state constitution and bn the arrested de velopment of the state lawmakers. He says Indiana lawmakers while intelligent men, shape their statutes for villages and small cities which have attained their growth and a city like Gary has no show. ". The chief busi ness of an active official is a growing modern city like Gary la to dodge the antediluvian laws which he finds on the statute books of the state." Gary Evening Post. The law is good enough for the rest of us. If hizzoner would Dav ess attention to dodging the law he wouldn't have to spend to much time dodging the jail. LEARN SPANISH. The young man who is striving to learn and to Improve his spare mo ments can according to Consul Gen eral A. A. Winslow formerly of Ham mond, make it very valuable by studying the Spanish language The Baltimore American says: una oi me conundrums over which our statesman, boards of trade and business promoters generally have been, puzzling is as to whyGreat Britain and Germany are sell lng more goods in the South Ameri can markets than the United States, and, secondarily, as to how we can reverse this improperly balanced system of trade. It is generally agreed that American manufactur ers who desire to reach the South American market must do what both Great Britain and Germany have been extensively doing they must send an army of trade agents into the South American field who not only know the good points of tha American goods which they will be offering, but who can speak concern ing those good qualities In the Span Ish language. "Alfred A. Winslow, United States consul at Valparaiso, Chili, in a re cent report, advises young men, look lng for a high-salaried opening to master Spanish. It is a good bit of advice. One of our reasons for digging the Panama Canal was that the west coast of South America will thereby be brought 3,000 miles nearer the Eastern coast of the United States than it will be to Europe. Buc digging the canal is only a preliminary. There will soon be 20,000 American manufacturing industries

that will be wanting an army of business agents, an army numbering at least CO, 000, to go down into South America and introduce American

goods. These business agents must know the Spanish language, even down to Its Blang phrases. And so, young man, learn to talk Spanish." HAMMOND and Gary golt fiends will be interested in learning tnai postmaster of "Worcester, Mass. drove a long ball into a brook by the seventh hole and killed a ten inch trout. Mr. Taft ought to give a postmaster like that a commission for another four years. NEWSPAPERS continue to point out the evils of 15 and 15 year old girls roaming at alrge on the strets after dark and the number of those who roam increases with each pass ing day. What are you going to do atout It? IT will be a pleasure to meet some of the candidates face to face and s?e what they look like. When a man has his picture in every newspaper and no two of them are alike it is imnossible to miess what sort of a map he wears. A ST. Paul, Minn, woman took an apple from a barrel when she was a girl 22 years ago and her conscience hurt her so that she returned an apple to him the other day. Yes, St. Paul! THE hobo convention to have been held in the East failed to materially because none of the hoboes turned up. After what occurred In Baltimore and Chicago, a national convention looks like real work. ONE of, our society young men Is asking what is the best thing to be done when a person accidentally sits down on a lemon pie at a picnic. We would advise him to sit still until the rest had gone home. MAN keeled over dead when in formed that he had fallen heir to 250,000. However we will take a chance if Bome one wants to startle us with the same kind of news. CROWN Point has won a ball game and It has put bo much ginger Into the fans down there that they have started to raise the pennant this year too. A POLICEMAN who would arrest a champion pugilist when the latter was not breaking the law, just to get his name into print will go a long ways for It. SUFFRAGISTS now ask for a pro gressive constitution. Move it be given them. Give the women any thing they want, they'll get it any how. WOMEN according to a con temporary are not fit for aviation. Certainly not, it is man's sole perogative to go up in the air. PROBABLY by this time nobody in London so much as pauses to look around when a militant suffragist smashes a plate glass window. IF Gary would import a few Georgia water melons perhaps the negroes over there would calm down and quit shooting each other. GREEN peas are said to promote frivolity. But with the man who tries to balance them on a knifs, they promote something else. IT is announced in the fashion magazines that the waist line is com ing back. Don't see what there is to be done about it however. THE new party movement is not near so much interest to the man down on the farm as" the new crop movement. MARATHON racing, like Swiss mountain cllming, gives fine thrills at a high price in lives cut short or blighted. OUK idea or tnrowmg money away is to pay $20 to see a bull moose nominated for president. IT takes a few torrid days to show the real value of a cool spell in mid summer. IS there no closed season for bn' moose, for Heaven's sake?

R U BE GEORGE McGINNITT wirelesses In from ,the Gary hotel asking ' whether delegates to tha Bull Mooose convention will have to tie their bulls outside. PHILADELPHIA has appointed a diptologlst who will see to it that the city is rid of skeeters. The town board of Miller will please take notice. "BOLT AND SCREW WORKS HAS ITS FIRST BABY. Gary Post headline. My! What a fatherly corporation wo have. OUR mail brings us a pamphlet on how to avoid plumbing bills. If one were published on how to avoid paying plumbing bills we would give a ten spot for it. THE Chicago Title & Trust Co. Is to guarantee Gary lot titles. If some company set out to guarantee nobility titles it ought to do a profitable business. "LOVE goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books, "But love from love, toward school with heavy looks." Romeo and Juliet. But you find It's the reversa"lf you trip into Judge Becker's divorce dis pensary. AFTER reading the murder dis patches from Gary no doubt the waren at Michigan City prison Is keeping awake late at night trying to figure ut an appropriation for tnother batch of cells. INDIANA HARBOR man was hit by half-ton axle and says that It feels like being run over by a steam roller. If he feels that way he shouldn't mind it, as the Chicago convention delegates will testify. CITY EDITOR "You say here in this story that following tha cere mony trie couple then left on their honeymoon." SOCIETY REPORTER "And so they did." CITY EDITOR "Well, change it to wedding trip. All wedding trips aren't honeymoons. MAYBE some one might induce De tective T. B. Dean to bring his famous dictagraph and come down to Lake county and hunt up the traces of that third party we have been hearing about. THE Gary council chamber is like Tara's halls without the ringing of the Irish Jewsharp now that the leonine voice of , ex-Alderman Battle Axe Castleman Is no longer heard in its dlctographed precincts. THE new snapshots of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw that the polpers have been running suggests that Time will tell. JUDGING from bur county divorce column there are more couples trying to get out of it Ithan there are of those waiting to be doubled tip. These days are fine for the lawyers, but hard on the Jewelers. ' ' OUR idea of having $10 and not knowing what to do with it would be to squander it on buying a front seat at the Bull Mooose convention. "IN fact Hammond's water consump tion at the present time does not exceed 12,000,000 gallons a day at the most." From The Times. "BUT if Hammond had an Elbert Gary to give it a Y. M. C. A. having shower baths tha 12,000,000 might read 30,000.000. The Day in HISTORY THIS DATE IN HISTORT. July lt. 1692 Rebecca Nurse and four others hanged in Salem, Mass., for witchcraft. 1775 John A.
