A great deal depends upon appear ences In the case of municipalities as well aa in the case of individuals. Nothing is going to improve the appearance of he cities of the Calumet region so much as a modern strete lighting system. The city has been woefully deficient in this matter. The first attempt to light the streets by means of wire arches was a makeshift at the best and never should have been attempted. But the value of well-lighted streets is coming to be appreciated in this community as is evidenced by the efforts that are being made in a number of cities- to install- orna mental street lighting. The suggestion in THE TIMES that the only equitable means of determining the manner in which the cost of this improvement should be assessed Is to charge the property owners for the installation and the city for the current seems to have been generally accepted. This is the only way that progress can be made for experience has shown that the property owners will not all pay their street lighting bills. Under the old system there were a dozen state street merchants and property owners who failed to pay for the current consumed. The business men of the city are to be congratulated on the fact that they have made the progress they have. It indicates that Hammond s to remain In .the vanguard In the matter of such improvements. THOMAS Bauer is elected delegate to the progressive convention in Chicago through the Influence of his home county and the southern end of the district. He does not have to depend on Lake county to send him. Lafayette Courier. No quarrel there, brother. THE Lake county doctors are after chicken for their picnic in Hammond next week. They will show you how to operate on one if you are fortunate enough to get an invitation to the picnic. THE DISAPPOINTED AKMY. Along the lines of an editorial in these columns last night W. H. Blodgett of the Indianapolis News writes in speaking of the Bull Moose convention at Indianapolis: "Another feature of the convention was the great number of disappointed statesmen men whose political ambitions had been snuffed out. 'This is not a foray of officeholders," decjared Mr. Beveridge in his address. But the senator did not say that it was an onslaught by a lot of disappointed office seekers. Begin at the top and go down the line and you see disappointment cropping out everywhere. You stumble across disgruntled politicians at every step. The Bi Moose himself is a victim of

Lee was not appointed to a federal office. Albert J. Beveridge was defeated for re-election as United States senator. Fred Landls was ruthlessly slaughtered for re-election to congress in a district that was overwhelmingly Re publican at the time he was elected. "L. H. Maca tried to return to the legislature and failed as he failed to be elected prosecuting attorney. Harvey C. Cushman was not nom inated for auditor of state after serv ing as clerk in the state auditor's office. Run down the ticket and you will find crushed ambitions everywhere. Horace Stilwell spent a great deal of money trying for the nomination for congress in the Eighth district, and he never has been Just right with the Republican party since his defeat. Judge J. B. Wilson, of Bloomlngton. can not get over the fact that his brother, Jesse D. Wilson, lost a federal job. All through the delegations you could pick out men who had failed of appointment to postofflces, who had been defeated for county office, men who thought they should have a second or even third term to office. Others there were who were fighting tne battle for disappointed friends or relatives." SENATOR Kern has been very near a nervous breakdown. Why Is it that Washington life makes Mr. Kern and his colleague-Mr. Snivel v so very nervous? WILL some kind and discerning friend tell us where we can get a picture of the "great moral idea" that is back of this 80-caIled third party movement. WHAT M'HAEG SAYS. Our dear old friend Ormsby Mo Harg says: "If anything should happen to Mr. Roosevelt this movement would be over. Parties to live must be built on a more substantia basis, so that if one man stubs his toe its usefulness will not be at an end. I hajre friends In all parts of the country who have asked me about the situation, and what I intend to do. I have told them that in my opinion It was no way to offset the larceny In June by a revolution in November. The program to have regular republican electors vote for anyone but the nominee of the party and that is Mr. Taft is nothing if not revolutionary." McHarg is the man who framed up the Roosevelt contests in the south. NAVY is to have a' corps of dentists. Perhaps we need glasses but we haven't read anywhere yet where the young docs must have a strong pull. ED Lee talks quite a bit different from what he talked to a party of Lake county men last November at West Baden. What liars some men are. BOSS TYRANNY. Delaware county has had in Its time some pretty rank exhibitions of bossism and machine tyranny, but by all odds the most flagrant that has yet occurred Is that which has companied the organization of acthe new party in this county a party which, with proper courtesy to the socialists and prohibitionists is not entitled to be called the third .party, but must be denominated the fifth party, or, perhaps better still, fn view of the well displayed machinery of the movement .the fifth wheel. It is said that there are hundreds

of the fifth party men in Delaware county, but what chance have they had to take part in the deliberations of the organization? The people, for whom the leaders of this enterprise profess such undying affection, have not had so much as a lookin. The district chairman was appointed by the self-appointed Chairman Lee on the recommendation of that distinguished purifier, Horace Stilwell, of Anderson. The county chairman was selected by the district chairman. And the county chairman has given an exhibition of bossism in connection with the workings of the new party that make the machine politicians of older days gasp for breath. The county committee, instead of being elected by the people, was hand picked by the county chairman at a select Sabbath conference held in the Baldwin piano store. Not content with selecting the county committee, the county chairman's handpicked committee, after going solemnly through the motions of "ratifying" ' the selection of fhelr maker as county chairman, proceeded, in violation of the call of the provisional committee of the "progressives," both as to date and method, to choose the delegates to the state conveniton. The people were absolutely ignored. Think of it! This self appointed bunch of bosses proceeded to elect all the delegates from Delaware county

to today's state convention! Imagine for a minute the righteous outcry that would go up from the rank and file of either the democratic or re publican parties , in this county if a self appointed county committee were to attempt to meet In Muncie and pick an entire delegation to a state convention! And then keep your face straight if you can this same crowd of self appointed dictators, having headed off a well defined movement among the unbossed members of the Roose velt party in Deleware county against a state ticket proceeded to adopt resolutions denouncing the bosses! Muncie Press. QUESTION Did the moving pic ture man get a picture of Freddie Landis shoving his mop back from his brow to the back of his nop. GREAT gosh, if you are not satisfied with the parties start one of your own. You have as much right and power as the Bull Moose. WILSON AND THE UNIONS. The other day we heard two prominent labor union men not far away discuss Wilson the democratic candi date for president and his attitude towards union labor. Now listen Mr. Union Man! Not alone in hia famous book has Dr. Woodrow Wilson expressed his abhorrence of labor unionism. Indeed, as his public addresses are examined many hostile and bitter references! to unionism are found that leave no doubt as to his real Ideas on that subject. In a lecture delivered before the People's Forum, New Rochelle, N. Y., Feb. 26, 1905, he said of organized labor: "The labor unions reward the shiftless and incompetent at the expense of the able and industrious." On June 13. 1909, as president of Princeton university, he declared himself In the course of his baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class as follows on the issue of unionism: "You know wnat the usual standard of the employe is In our day. It is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor Is standardised by the trades union, and this is the standard to which It Is made to conform. No one is suffered to do more than the average workman can do. In some trades and handicrafts no one is suffered to do more than the least skillful of his fellows can do within the hours allotted to a day's labor, and no one can work dut of hours at all or volunteer anything beyond the minimum. "I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It Is so unprofitable to the employer that in some trades It will presently not be worth his while to attempt anything at all. He had better stop altogether than operate at an inevitable and invariable loss. The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under its present regulation by those who have determined to reduce it to a minimum. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the .country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants." CARLISLE'S FAITH. Colonel Carlisle, of South Bend, talks like one who has faith in the Republican party and as one who understands business management. His candidacy for governor it winning respect because of Its positlveness. Colonel Carlisle, should he be nominated by the republicans of the state, is prepared to tell the people exactly where he stands. Lafayette Journal.

NO doubt that sweet quietness on the part of Brother A. F. Knotts Is due to the fact that be is preparing his con gresslonal speech. of acceptance.
