THAT FOES Y THE AVE. BRIDGE. THE TIMES gives its hearty cooperation to the project of building a new bridge over the west branch
of the canal at Forsythe avenue
The county commissioners have Just made an appropriation for a bridge at Chicago avenue, it is true, but the rapid industrial development of East
'Chicago and Hammond has made an
other necessary and it should be
built at once.
The fact should not be overlooked that the East Chicago Company is spending J250.000 for the construc
tion of the west branch of the canal.
This company, in fact, should be giv
en credit for the unprecedented
spirit or progressiveness that has
prompted it to spend practically all of the money it has received from
recent sales of land, with the excep tion of the sale to the Baldwin Com pany in canal Improvements. It has done this because of its iro
puea promise to Build the canal. - It has done this because the success of its East Chicago project seem3 to be the first consideration with the com
pany.
It Is safe to say that the East Chi
cago company has done more to pro
moie me growtn or the cities of
North township than any other factor in the region. And Vice President Westberg does not ask the people of the county to build that bridge for the East Chicago Company. He simply asks that the bridge be built for the benefit of the public at large and incidentally the building of the bridge will facilitate the building of the $11,000,000 plant of the Northwestern Iron Company. It is a little thing to ask after all the East Chicago Company has done for the development of the region, after all the East Chicago company has paid to the county in taxes. The county commissioners should break all records for speed In authorizing the bridge and th county councilmen should lose no time in making the necessary appropriation.
PRAISES OUR POLICIES. Although a few years ago many large industries were continually locating In the Calumet region of Chicago, of more recent years nearly all important additional development industrially has been across the state line in Indiana. This state of affairs dates practically since the time that
the commissioner of public works
during the Dunne administration interfered with the development of the
Illinois Steel Company at South Chi
cago. Indiana has adopted a . most generous policy toward Industries. They are allowed by a state law recently passed to fill Jn submerged land In Lake Michigan to the point of deep navigation, for a nominal charge. Deep waterways at Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, now under construction, afford valuable dockage, and there are plenty of large available tracts not Incumbered with subdiisions, streets and alleys. After a very full Investigation and knowledge of the condition. The Calumet Record does not hestltate to say that the attitude of the Chicago city council is mainly responsible for
the loss of many great industries that would otherwise have located in this end of Chicago. The Baldwin Locomotive Works sought a site north of Lake Calumet. The policy of the
council exacts a prohibitive price for
tne vacation of imaginary streets.
and this great industry was lost to this city. As proof of this policy It
is known that the tremendous sum
of $40,000 was exacted recently for
tne vacation of streets in this viclnl

paper, recorded fify years ago.
nut for the action of the Dunne
commissioner of public works the de
velopment at Gary would have been

titude of the council seems nosltive-
iy hostile to industries.

they are protected in localities, have
a habit of roaming. A deer refuge Is in a sense a stock farm. State laws allow the shooting of deer in certain seasons. The sportsman and the man who needs food profit from tha fact that there is a sure source of supply. The game birds nesting in the northern reservations migrate in the fall, and the sportsman and the man who wants food get their share. It always has been maintained that if the birds could be protected properly during the nesting season the fear of their extinction' would pass. The policy of preserving the game by federal action wherever possible has been tried and proved. Sentiment did something toward protecting the wild life of the country.
Legislation and sentiment together wil Imake the future of our game birds and mammals assured Chicago Post.
THE TIMES.
WILL we ever have any rest? The national conventions are over with, the fight in Los Angeles has come off, the revolutionists in Cuba and
Mexico have succumbed to the hot
weather or something else, and Con
gress seems about to adjourn. But
now somebody has started a discus
slon as to the proper dimensions pf
bathing suits.
MRS. Parkhurstf has been released from Jail in London. Glad they kept
her out of Gary where they were get

HELP OUT H0BART.
Most every Important town and
city in Lake county except Lowell and Hobart will be hooked up by trolley next week. Hobart already
has the traveling equipment, a part
or tne line built and all that it needs.
so we understand, is a little more money to get connected with the
Broadway division. This done Ho
bart will be on the trolley map. Hobart is financing the line with local capital but may be because of. the immense advantages that will result to all it might get the money it needs by a little Inquiry.
THE COUNTRY'S GAME REFUGES.
The news from Washington makes
it seem likely that the bill of Senator Catron of New Mexico to establish a national game refuge in the ecos Valley will be passed by Congress. During the last five years legislation for conserving the useful wild life
Of the country has kept pace with if
has not outstripped legislation
along other lines of conservative endeavor.
Under conditions of close confine
ment In the zoological parks of the country it was feared that the American bison finally would be
come extinct. William T. Hornaday of New York City, an enthusiast on
the subject of the preservation of the
country's wild birds and wild animals, started a movement to save
for all time the big game animals which once lived on the praries in
herds of millions. Senator Dixon of
Montana lent his aid and Congress
set aside a bison reservation near the
Flathead Indian country, fenced It
and stocked it with a herd which was obtained by purchase from an
old Indian chief Just in time to prevent Its passing Into Canadian ownership. In Montana today there Is a
herd of bison increasing yearly in numbers and which ranges and en
joys life under natural conditions.
The game refuges are of economic
service. Deer, even, feeling that
WHAT IS PHILANTHROPY? Some people have a queer idea of philanthropy. Leon Mandel, who died in Chicago recently, leaving a fortune of several millions, bequeathed $50,000 to the clerks employed in his store. On the face of it this is a munificent gift. It will probably make it possible to lessen the burdens that the clerks in at least one department store have to bear. Were it be divided among the individual clerks, each one would probably receive $50. But looking at the proposition in another light would it not have been better if Mandel had distributed this amount, and more, to his clerks during his lifetime. It is a notorious fact that the clerks in the department stores In the large cities are underpaid. It is said that when a girl complains that $4 or $5 a week will not support her and enable her to dress In the manner required
by the management of the store, she
is informed that she can not expect to receive enough to fully support her. She must look elsewhere to keep body and soul alive. It is an appalling fact to consider where some of them look.
In the case of the girl whose parents reside in the city she is expected to live at home. The girl who Is alone In a great city must go to cheap lodg
ing houses, board for as little as pos
slble. and make up the deficit at the end of the week by soul and body de
stroying drudgery or by the character-
wrecking commercialization of self.
Confronted by the dire necessity of providing the ordinary necessities of
life the average girl In such circum
stances follows the lines of least re
sistance. She takes the road to ruin;
So when Leon Mandel gave $50,000 to the clerks in his store it is save to say that tbe gift did not begin to com
pensate for the ruin that has resulted
from the underpaying of his employes.
It Is probably true that Mandel paid his clerks wages that were above the average, that he allowed them the usual discounts on the clothes they purchased in his store, that he paid
them bonuses in form of commissions on their sales, btft the point Is that
real philanthropy would have prompt
ed him to take some steps for the
permanent alleviation of a condition
that is nothing short of terrible when
a view in perspective Is taken of the wrongs that are wrought as a result
of the employing of underpaid girls

WHY THEY ARE POOR. Their ideas are larger than their
purses. ' , '
They are easy dupes of schemers
and promoters.
They reverse the maxim, "Duty be
fore pleasure."
They have too many and too ex
pensive amusements.
They do not think it worth while
to save nickels and dimes.
They have risked a competence In
trying to get rich quickly.
They allow friends to impose up
on their good nature and generosity.
They try to do what others expect
of them, not what they can afford
They prefer to Incur debt rather
thah to do work which they consider
beneath them.
They think it will be time enough
to begin to save for a rainy day when
the rainy day comes.
They risk all their egga in one
basket, when they are not in a position to watch or control it. Success.

Washington. D. O. July 27. President Taft will he officially notified of his nomination at the White House on Thursday. According to present plans, Mr. Taft will receive the notification committee on the rear portico of the executive mansion, which overlooks the ellipse. He will speak from the portico, with the committeemen grouped about him on the lawn. The President will probably leave for his summer home at Beverly Immediately after the notification meeting. , State conventions of the Progressive party during the week ,will Include the folowlng: Montana, at Helena; Now Mexico, at Albuquerque1, Louisiana, at New Orleans; Arkansas, at Little Rock; Illinois, at Chicago; Tennessee, at Nashville: Colorado, at Denver; Indiana, at Indianapolis; Virginia, at Roanoke; Minnesota, at St. Paul; Missouri, at Kansas City, and Connecticut, at
Governor Woodrow Wilson, the presidential nominee of the Democratic party, expects to continue at his summer home at Sea Girt during the week, receiving visits from the party leaders and putting the finishing touches to his notification address. - Republicans and Democrats of Nebraska, in accordance with the primary law, will hold their State conventions Tuesday, the former meeting at Lincoln and the latter at Grand Island. As the nominations were made in the primaries the work of the convention will be confined principally to the adoption of the party platforms. Tne rivalry of the two factions In tho Republican party ia expected to cause a lively convention. Five aspirants are contesting for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Tennessee, which will be settled In a State primary Thursday. Former Governor Benton McMillin is among those who aspire to head the State ticket. Democrats of Kentucky will select their candidates for representatives in Congress in the State-wide primary to be held Saturday. A State "assembly" of the Republicans of. Colorado will be held In Denver Wednesday to nominate presidential electors and select the names to he placed on the primary ballot. The State asemblles are a new feature In Colorado politics. In some ways they correspond to the old State conventions, but they are designed to eliminate the bitter contests that frequently marked the conventions. The assemblies take only one ballot on candidates for each office to be filled and anyone" receiving 10 per cent, of the total vote in the assembly is entitled to have his or her name on the primary ballot. A notable conference for the discussion of modern journalism. Its Ideals, trend and its existing condition, is to assemble at the University of Wisconsin Monday. The conference has scheduled prominent speakers, amnng them being Melville E. Stone, William J. Bryan, William Allen White, Norman Hapgood, Charles H. Grasty of Baltimore and Fremont Older of San Francisco. ' ' Other events that will figure in the news of the week will be the national open golf championship at Buffalo, the conference of Western States governors at Boise, the annual Canadian Henley regatta at St. Catherines, and the reception of the American Olympic team upon Its arrival In New Tork. .
