leadership of the project that la to
connect the steel city with Hobart.
The line has been financed. The
work of construtcion will be complet
ed within the next two weeks. And so the country editor became the
traction magnate of the town.
Editors are supposed to remain
poor. At least this is true of coun
try editors. But Smith has so far forgotten the ethics of the profession as have made a small fortune in real
estate in the past two years.
An opportunity found its man in Hobart and that man was Editor A. J. Smith; as good a fellow as ever
wore an Orak button and as concientious a fellow as ever shoved a quill. Hats off to the new traction
magnate.
WELCOME EDITORS! THE TIMES understands from sev
eral northern Indiana editors who
have visited the sanctum today that
there is a meeting of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association in Gary
today. Having, in its humble desire to assist in making the affair a suc
cess, been entirely ignored by its esteemed coadjutors the Gary Post, , The Gary Tribune and The Chesterton Tribune, composing the executive committee, we pass that to extend a hearty welcome to the fellow newspaper men who are today the guests . of Gary. It hopes that these worthy brethren will find much to please and to interest them. It trusts that they will go back home impressed with the greatnesit of Gary and the magnificent prospects of the great Calumet region containing also the cities of Indiana Harbor, Whiting. East Chicago and Hammond. Those editors who have visited THE TIMES office on their way to the meeting express their amazement at the hustle and bustle of the Calumet region. Come again, and then again, brother editors.

For 2d years A. J. Smith has been
editor of the Hobart Gazette. He has eked out an existence chronicling the events of the week, fighting for this and that and making his paper
a factor in the community.
He might have continued as editor
of the Hobart Gazette for another 25
years had it not been for the fact that Gary was built as a next door
neighbor to Hobart.

General William Booth chief of the Salvation Army, who died at his
home near London Tuesday evening,
lived long enough to see the tree which he planted in his youth, bring
forth fruit a hundred, yea a thou9
and fold.
btarting his work as a street preacher and refusing a pastorate, he
saw the army grow in every land, un
til today its beneficient influence is
felt In every clime. Its official organ
"The War Cry" is printed in twenty
different languages and has more
than a million weekly circulation
The founder's fondest dream, next to his army, was the establishing of a University of Humanity with
branches in New York and Chicago
and oh his eightieth birthdav e!
years ago, he received the first en
dowment for the necessary fund. To
speak of the work of the Salvation
Army would be like attempting to
describe God's very sunlight and the lilies growing out of muck. It i3 easier to see than to describe. Suffice
it to say that General Booth was the moving spirit in this humanitarian
work.
There have been those who did not
agree with the great leader as to his
methods, but in his intense religious
zeal, the end Justified the means, and it Is too late now to say that the Salvation Army Is not a powerful Institution for good.
In England no greater honor can be bestowed upon a man than to give him a place among the Immortals in Westminster abbey, and while Gen. Booth will be burled beside his wife In Abney Park, Stoke Newlngton, he would nevertheless be deserving of
the honor, of a resting place In the

THE LANDIS DISMISSAL. This stew about the dismissal of
Walter Landis, postmaster . at San
Juan, Porto Rico, has in it all the
elements of balderash. Mr. Landis, who doubtless is a bright and deserv
ing man, has had about all that is
coming to him from the government in the way of support, unle3 he ia to be pensioned for life. He has had office for the last dozen or fifteen
years, and all of his brothers havo been In the public pay. At one time
two of them were in congress, one a
federal judge at Chicago, where he
yet Is; one was coroner at Cincinnati,
and Walter, over whom the present teapot tempest is waged, was postmaster at San Juan. That's doing pretty well for one family. One thing
that may to a mild extent reconcile
the country to the success ot the na
tional democratic ticket this year
should such a calamity befall the na
tion, will be the fact that a change in the administration will be follow
ed by the sloughing of a lot of
barnacles attached to the ship of state, appointees who appear to think
that the republican party owes them
a living. Washington Herald.

Greenfield The Proe-easives of this

ticket in Hancock county, and have set August 31 for the convention. The
fflcers of the county committee are
Carl Rock, chairman: Howard Roberts, secretary, and Samuel A. Wray, treas-urear.

EXPERT says it will take 3 years to reduce the high cost of beef. Perhaps some of us .won't be able to chew by that time so don't let's worry about it.
THE COUNTY FAIR. Lake county is divided into two sections; its industrial and its agricultural. By a queer prank of fate the industrial section is located to the north where the land is so sterile and sandy that it will grow nothing but factories and railroads. The population of the northern part of the county is more dense for the men who live near the factories in which they work. In the southern part of the county there is less population but the soil is fertile and tillable. The south end of the county has its place in'the scheme of things for its golden fields of grain, its orderly
garden patches, its orchards its poultry farms and its dairy farms
must feed the constantly increasing
population in the northern part of
the county.
Consequently the county rair is an event of great significance. It is the one occasion of the year when mill workers of the north go to the county
seat to shake the hind of the men
who feed them. There the northern
Lake county resident learns of the fertility of the soil in the south and
gets something of an idea of the va
riety of the products of the farms.
And the question of the high cost of living need not be an embarraslng one for after all it is the middleman's profits and the cost of transportation
that increases the price of foodstuffs
The farmer is getting no more than
a fair price for his products.
What ought to be done la call a
joint convention or tne consumers
and the producers on one of the days
of the fair. Speakers should nresent
both sides of the question. Suggestions should be received along the following lines: 1. How to increase the transportation facilities between cities and country, 2. The marketing of rarm produce and the elimination of the middleman's profits. 3. How to encourage the farmer to sell his produce in the cities of Lake county instead of the South Water street market.
4. Determine the feasibility of a co-operative cold storage ware house and commission house in each of the cities of the north end. 5. The development of interurban lines and a night express service on those which already exist. 6. An investigation of the feasibility of having a combination interurban terminal and city market in each city in northern Lake county. 7.. The question of avoiding waste such as permitting apples to rot on the ground. These are some of the questions
that will have to be settled at the meeting of the consumer and the producer. The county fair would take on a new significance if this were
done.
The Political Whirl in Indian
be held here Wednesday. It la expected that the names of three candidates, who are seeking the honor, will be placed before the convention. They are E. E. Neal, of Noblesville. who was the candidate against Congressman Morrison two years ago: the Ilev. Mr. Parr, of Kokomo, and William Robinson, an attorney, of FrankfortRichmond Tho mandatory call of the Bull Moose state committee for the
Delaware county. Already the Repub- j nomination of county tickets may be
the cause of friction In the ranks of
the Moosers in Wayne county. Soma
many votes next November as any i
time In the past.
Newcastle Henry county Bull Moos
ers are opposing the order of the Bull
Moose state committee to nominate a I county ticket. George G. Morris, conn- i
ty recorder. Is one of the Bull Moose
caders who opposes tho order. He
says he and others in the new party participated in the Republican primar-
c-b In the spring and that they are In
hanor bound to support ths candidate chosen in the primary.
Logansport When the Eleventh dis
trict Republican congressional convention meets in Logansport September 17, Cass county will present the name of Samuel G. Gifford, Judge of the city court. He was formerly deputy county clerk. Judge Gifford was the only Re
publican elected at the last city election, and he will go into the convention with the solid backing of Cass county.
Anderson Throughout Madison
county Monday night the Republicans
elected nearly four hundred delegates
to the county nominating convention
to be held in this city Wednesday. Chairman Vestal, of the county committee, said that all the precinct meet
ings were well attended despite the effort of the Bull Moosers to Interfere In seeral townships. James E. Watson, of Rushville, will address the convention Wednesday morning.
Crawfordsville Ex-Congressman
Charles B. Landis, of Delphi, will deliver the address at the Ninth district
republican congressional convention, to
in so far as national and state tickets go have been urging that the party In Wayne county should Indorse the Re
publican county ticket nominated by
direct primarys last February. It has been the understanding generally that the Republican ticket would be permitted to stand and that the only opposition would come from the Democrats who this year propose to put a ticket in the field. Danville The Bull Moosers in Hendricks county are practically unanimous in their insistence that there be no third county ticket here, despite the fact that State Chairman Lee has sent out a call requesting that each county put out a full ticket. The Republicans ff Hendricks county nominated a full ticket on March 1, and the convention was participated In by the entire Republican vote. The Bull Moose leaders here now say that as they had a part In the nomination of the ticket they, propose to stand by it to the last. Tho resignation of Eugene E. York, of Plalnfleld, from the nomination on tho
Republican ticket for representative, on account of accepting a position as superintendent of an Odd Fellow's home in Tennessee, has made It necessary to nominate a man to fill the vacancy. Mr. York tendered his resignation several weeks ago, but as yet no move has been made toward the selection of his successor. There are six avowed candidates for the position: Ben Davis, Jonathan Lowe, Herschell Rynoarson. Charles Mendcnhall, John W. Trotter and George E .Easley.
