MAINE HAS SPOKEN. We wonder what the orck-sure democrats and the blustering bull moosers will say when they read of the returns from Maine.
Maine spoke yesterday. SHE REJECTED DEMOCRACY. TRIUMPH
ANT TWO YEARS AGO AND ELECT ED A REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The importance of the victory cannot be over-estimated. Maine had elected a democratic goveiaor and
democratic cop gf essrneri' at "the last
-Eifcclion.. The bull moosers were dragging that the republicans would not carry a single state. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN TWO STATE ELECTIONS AND THE REPUBLICANS HAVE WON BOTH. Vermont rejected Armageddon and the man who insists he is standing there by placing the third term ticket where it belonged third. In Michigan two weeks ago at the primaries the republicans got 246,000 votes and the bull moosers 0,000. In Ohio last week the people rejected Roosevelt's pet theory woman suffrage. EVERYWHERE ROOSEVELT 13
RIDING FOR A FALL. The people of this great land will tell him where to
get off next November.
In the meantime the glorious news
from Maine ought to put a little spine
of the backbones of the timorous re
publicans. BRYAN ONCE SCARED THE RE PUBLICAN PARTY STIFF.
But neither Wilson nor Roosevelt
can duplicate the trick. And with our own little pet Gov
Marshall in Maine and our own little
Almighty Beveridge in Vermont. Funny isn't it?
There Is no peace beneath the noon..
Ahl In those meadow- In there peace Where, girdled 1th a silver fleeee. As a bright shepherd, stray the mount Queen of the gnrden of the sky, Where stars like lilies, hlte aud fair. Shine through the mists of frosty air. Oh. tarry, for the dawn Is ntghl Oh. tarry, for the envious day Stretches loss hnnds to catch thy feet. A Ins! hot thou art nverfleet, Alas! I know thou wilt not stay. I'p sprang the sun to run his race. The brcese blew fair on mead and lea; ltut In the west I seemed to see The likeness of a human face.
A linnet on tbe hawthorn spray San it of the glories of the spring And made the flowrlna; copses ring With gladness for the newborn dny. A lark, from out the grass I trod Kir wildly, and was lost to view In the great senmless veil of blue That hang before the face of Ood. The willow whispered overhead That death Is hut a newer life. And that with Idle words of strife We bring dishonor on tbe deid.
I took a branch from off the tree.
And hawthorn-blossoms drenched
with dew, I bound them with a Kprli of yew.
And made a garland fnlr to see.
I laid the flnwen s where He lies.
( Warm Iravrs and flowers on the
stone I What joy I hnd to sit alone Till evening broke on tired eyes. Till all the shifting clonds had spun A robe of avoid for God to wear. And Into seas of purple air Sank the hrlitht galley of the sun. Shall I be gladdened for the day. And let my Inner heart be stirred
lly murmuring; tree or sonic of bird,
lull sorrow at tbe wild wind's playf
'ot so surh Idle dreams belong To souls of lesser depth than mine; I feel that I am half-dlvlne I know that I nm great and strong. I know that every forest tree lly labor rises from the root) I know that none shall gather fralt fly anlling on the barren sea. Oscar Wilde.

A CHANCE FOE YOU.
We wish to call to the attention of
our readers that the Gary Y. M. C
A.'S night college will open its doors
for it second season. It is prepared
to receive students from any part of the Calumet region and the tuition
will be very nominal. The rapid ex
tension of interurban lines brings the
institution within the reach of all. Everything from common arithmetic and the rudiments of the English language to the higher phases of engineer and business law may be obtained here. From now on no young man who lacks a high school or college education need bewail his inability to go to school. The college is at his door if he wants it.
MISS BROOKS' CONTEST. Miss Virginia Brooks, of West
Hammond, a vigorous young reform
er, who has acomplished wonders in one of the worst social sink holes in
Illinois, has been threatened with death because she has prosecuted in
investigation of the death of a man
who was brutally murdered for
money in an immoral resort there,
her intention being to use the evi
dence secured in her crusade looking
to the elimination of the vice district.
Miss Brooks has a vicious element to
contend with in her fight and It is
not thought that the threat against
her life is an idle one, for in West Hammond, as in other cities that tolerate a vice district, there are certain
degenerate business men. who sll
shoddy gotds to the harpies on the
installment plan, leagued with them
in a mutually defensive alliance.
They are men who, while they might shrink from personal participation in
the butchery of a "business dis turber," would exercise all their un
holy influence to protect the murderer after the crime and to defeat the
ends of justice. Miss Brooks has un
dertaken a large and dangerous contract, but those who know her host.
have faith in her ultimate succpks.
For she is a fighter who is in the right and she has behind her a virile public sentiment that is growing more dominant and powerful everyday. Passing forever is the outgrown and barbarous idea that the social evil is a "necessary" evil and that a city to be moral must wallow in immorality. Fort Wayne News.
TIPS FOR CONTRACTORS. There is an article in the current
Saturday Evening Post that it will do well for every contractor in Lake
County to read. It is the experience
of a man who first failed and then
succeeded in the contracting business.
Now It is notorious that there have
been some shameful delay? in build
ing projects in Lake County, especially in Hammond. Not only do these delays increase the cost of a building,
because contractors come to figure ou
them, but they make the contracting
business unprofitable to the contrac
tor.
There is the Monon depot which re
quired as much time in the building as the average skyscraper in Chicago, the building of the Tapper building was in the hands of an incompeteut and cost the owner several thousands
of dollars in loss of rent to say nothing of the inconvenience to the ten
ants in the building.
The Schutz theatre building requir
ed months more to build than wa3
necessary and the residence of M. Rothschild was all fall, a winter and part of a spring and summer in build
ing. No wonder building costs so much
in Hammond. Not only is the contractor's equipment, his men and his own time involved but there are other
losses and leakages which make it
necessary for a contractor to get 20
percent more than he should in order
to come out on the job.
In Hammond a job starts, it moves
along propitiously and then suddenly
stops. Enquire the reason and you will be informed that the Iron failed to arrive, that there was a mistake in
the measurement of a girder, that the terra cotta is lost on a siding somewhere beween the kiln and ths new building, that the trim has to be made over etc., etc., etc. No wonder there is no money in contracting in Hammond. These delays disorganize the force, tliey mr.ke building costly. When thoy arc observed it may be taken for granted that the contractor is low in effici
ency.
The point that is made very clear
in the article in the Saturday Evening Post is that the prime requisite
of a successful contractor is EXECUTIVE ABILITY. That is; the ability
to get results.
The executive makes things mov3
along smoothly. He can have his
brick on the siding on time without resorting to blue sulphur flamed
invectives. He knows how to go at it.
Another quality that make suc
cessful contractors is the ability to
handle men. This does not mean tha bossing of them, entirely, but th3
planning of the work.
The good contractor uses IiU; hrnd
while his men are using their hands. It was a pitiful slgat to see a contrac
tor on one of the more important jobs
in the city a year or so ago nailing down flooring, doing the work of a $5 a day man when his time, had it bee.i
properly used, ought to have been worth at least $50 a day. Hammond ha3 a few efficient contractors but they are few.
WHAT HE WOULD DO THEN. Somebody has cast the horoscope of a baby. Says he is liable to accident and should be kept in a glass case ;that when ten he will have trouble with his mother and at twelve prevent her from remarrying. And there's a lot more. Still, It is not mentioned that when he's nineteen and husky he will hunt up the astrologer and take a few wallops at him for his direful predictions.

GOOD FIRE PROTECTION. Gary's fire department has been augmented by the addition of throe tig dreadnought motor trucj.s. They .re of the most modern pattern and lire of the design ned by the New York fire brigade. This gives the city Crc motor fire fighters. This money represents good in vestment; it Is money wisely spent. Every step toward hotter Are protection means a better standing with the lire insurance companies.

"MORE Sinned Against Than Usual." Title of a play running In Chicago. Without doubt It parallels the sad case of the Hon. Al. J. Beveridge, the grand young man. ANOTHER Chicago woman is waiting: trial for killing her hubby. Why not turn her loose and save the expense of a trial? The wind-up will be the same. NEW OltLEANS is to have the commission form of government. No doubt Gary would be much better off with the commission form.

MILLION dollars is to bo spent on Jap emperor's funeral. My! how the local undertakers must weep because they didn't locate In Tokio. T. R. says that kings are nothing more than vice presidents. Here's hoping that Tommy Marshall feels like a
king. IT remained for an Indiana Harbor girl, who married an aviator, to discover that all b'rdmen aren't angels. SEE by the papers that Detroit greeted 2, 0 oo bankers. In view of recent graft upheavals up there bet you the bankers were rather nervous. THEN again the tact that Mr. Taft shows a surplus of $4. 000. 000 as against the usual T. R. hundred million deficit ought to be another good argument. SCIENTISTS says that men, by a new
process, will be able to read their wives' minds. Nothing new. Any man coining in at 2 a. m. seeing wlfle at the head of the steps with a rolling pin can easily read her mind. A GOOD country road now days Is judged by its auto accidents. The betterthe road the more the smashupa.
