Made wiser by the steady growth of

The time Is ripe, and rotten-ripe for

Then let tt come: I barr no dread of

Nor think I that Cod'a world will (all

Truth Is eternal, but her effluence.

Fler mirror is turned forward to reflect
The promise of the future, not the post.

When I see this, aplte of my faith In I marvel how their hearts bear up so

Is a nobler character than that which
merely Incorruptible. It is the
character which acts as an antidote and preventive of corruption. Fear
lessly to speak the words which bear witness to righteousness and truth and purity patiently; to do the deeds
which strengthen virtue and kindle
hop in your fellow men; generously
to lend a hand to thoRe who are try
ing to climb upward; faithfully to give your support and your personal help to the efforts which ai making to elevate and purify the social life
of the world that is what it means
to have salt in your character. Henry Van Dyke.
THERE were a number also who were sadly disappointed to see that THE TIMES took Its medicine like a little man.
AND as that most estimable demo crat can rightfully say "Fate was tin
usually cruel to me when the demo
crats were so sure of winning."
A GOOD memory forgets all but the
pleasant things let us all try to culti
vate a good memory especially after
a political campaign.
GUESS Mr. Wilson was pretty near
right when he said he would go to
bed at 9 o'clock, so sure was he of
election.
POOR GEORGE. We hope that in the shuffle of it
all, while patriots are rushing to New Jersey to tender their services for
cabinet joba, that Mr. Wilson doesn't
overlook our old friend, Col. George
Harvey. 'Tie a shame that none of the job, forcast even as much as suggests the colonel-editor for the post of consul to Timbuctoo. And nobody deserves the recognition that Mr. Harvey does, not even Mr. Hearst.

SOMEBODY has fleeced you if they sold you a stack of Mineral Sprlngg rain checks and told you that they were good for admission to the vice presidential inauguration.

JUDGE CRUJI?ACKER"S DEFEAT
That Congressnam E. D. Crum
packer for many years representative
from the Tenth Indiana district has been defeated is the one great regret
of a host of warm friends and fol
lowers he has in this district. Judge
Crumpacker accepts hid defeat philo
sophically. lie made a splendid race and would have been overwhelmingly elected but for the men who put John
O. Dowers in the field. Last August he eaid: "I have tried to do my duty faithfully by my constituents and
while being congressman I have given -the best years of my life to my district and kept myself a poor man. It ia a losing game for nie. Had I prac- , tlced in my profession during the years I have been congressman it is not unreasonable to suppose that I would have made a great deal of money." Judge Crumpacker speak truly. With his profound knowledge of law and his wide acquaintance, he could
have easily obtained affluence in his I profession in 16 years. He leaves congress a comparatively poor man, but with a record for honesty and faithfulness that no one could surpass. Ha has been accused in the campaign of being a stand patter and a supporter of special privilege, but his circumstances give the lie to those charges. He has remained absolutely incorriptible. His life in Washington was one of the utmost simplicity and rugged democracy. He has extended out his small store in the concrete and his wealth of mind in the abstract with lavlshness to all who nought him. Judge Crumpacker has honored his constituency and his district by representing them at Washington. He
is a national figure. His fame is not circumscribed by the boundaries of the Tenth district nor the confines of
the great commonwealth of Indiana. Washington will miss Judge Crumpacker and his most estimable wire but we welcome them back to old Indiana, back to this great throbbing hive of industry with the hope that now the good things of life may fall in rich abundance at their feet.
there is no fire beneath it and no ma
chinery for it to ?et in morion. It does not move a wheel or lay a brick; it does not earn a loaf of bread; it moves no higher mind to higher endeavor; it cannot help to make the world better because it says nothing to the world ;if the hospitals are full of the sick, it cannot cure them, for it never tries; if the people are out of work it cannot help them, for it does not know how; if a nelghbr is in the guthter, it cannot life him out, because it does not wish to do so. The average nan and woman of today who is concerned with the earn
ing of daily bread and cannot take time to secure a liberal schooling, must be especially careful that the education he DOES get, is of THK SORT THAT COUNTS.
WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.
No lover of pure ideals in politics,
now that Wilson has been elected can
fail to be signally impressed by the
words of the president-elect in bis speech of acceptance last August when he said: "We stand in the presence of an awakened nation, Impatient of partisan make believe. Tho public man who does not realize the fact and feel Its stimulation must be singularly unsusceptible to the influences that stir In every quarter about him. The nation haa wakened to a sense of neclected ideals and neglected duties." It is impossible to know more of Wilson without realizing that here is
a strong and t-incere man it tie can cut away from the most-backs in the democratic party.
AN inflamed proboscis is not gen
erally considered a shining light
worthy of being followed.
A CHICAGO judge holds that loud snoring is not a crime. But as an accessory it still holds its own.
The Day in HISTORY
IT wouldn't be hard to persuade a portion of the public that Madero is the sick man of Mexico.
ONE of the bset elixirs of age, we think James Whitcomb Riley has never to tell your age.
COME now politics is like Christmas turkey. We hate like sixty to have it warmed over.
THE Turks have vindicated their
pronunciation, of Scutari, which is "Scutaree."
AND the country, it is probabl",
will obstinately go right, on being prosperous.
YOUNG men looking for matches should remember that those three Wilson girls still are untaken. ALMOST time for the Hearst newspapers to come out and claim the credit for the democratic victory. GARY cabinet and other suggestions up to the hour of going to press were as follows: Secretary of state, Battleaxe Cnstleman; commissioner of education and comptroller of the currency,

CONGRATULATIONS. Wriggling out of the Back-cloth
ana ashes for Just a moment to let a-
rift of light and joy permeate tbe Stygian gloom enveloping us since the shadows fell on Tuesday night we extend hearty congratulations to Mark
Thistlethwaite of Indianapolis for
several years in charge of THE
TIMES' news bureau there.
Mr. Thistlethwaite is tho first
democrat to come into his reward as a result of the present landslide and has just been appointed private secretary to Vice President-Elect Thomas
R. Marshall at a bigger salary than we paid him. In the event of anything untoward happening to Mr. Wilson, which God forbid, Mr. Thistlethwaite would be a pretty big man in Washington. We have no doubt as to his ability to make good having proof that he was a good newspaper man. It is so seldom that a newspaper man, good, bad or indifferent is recognized on this mundane sphere that we may be excused for rejoicing at our old correspondent's success.
NEXT on the program are explanations of how it happened.
HERE'S hoping you all feel a little more rested this evening.
PRACTICAL EDUCATION. Education should always be toward some PRACTICAL END, and never regarded as an end in and of itself; for unused scholarship makes a man of so litlc service to the world -is though he had no scholarship at all. One must learn so to apply his knowledge that it will contribute to the GENERAL WELFARE. An educational hermit is a disgusting person, one who takes tribute of the learning of the world for the enrichment of his own mind, and makes E return. Ili knowledge is not power, for
HOW some of the great nations of the world can hold out against international peace, when it costs billions and billions a year to keep prepared for possible war, is a mystery beyond solving. Any profit that might ac
crue by war is more than offset by the
terrible cost.
THE man who gets the worst of a decision could always decide a case
much better than the learned judge
or the "twelve good men and Lrue."
THE RIGHT KIND OF AMBITION. In this world of stress and effort to ovreleap the other fellow it is inspiring to read the words of Van Dyke when he said: "There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher. There
NOW LET'S GET BUSY. There is a great deal in a. wtate of
twind.' We have declared ourselves to
be of the opinion that the election of
Woodrow Wilson would be prejudicial
to the business interests of the country. We will be more than delighted to be proven wrong. Woodrow Wilson is now the president of the whole United States. He is our prebident as well as your president. He deserves and will receive the support of every good citizen to the end that economic conditions may be improved, happiness and contentment may be general and prosperity may prevail.
The Calumet region is on the threshold of the greatest period of expansion that a similar industrial community has ever known. It is the great common desire that this expansion come now. On the fifteenth of this month the directors of the Baldwin Locomotive Works meet in Philadelphia to determine whether or not the plans for the building of the Calumet plant are to be carried out. THE TIMES sincerely hopes that the word will be
given out to go ahead.
On the sixteenth of the month the
directors of the Northwestern Iron company will meet in Milwaukee to determine whether or not it will at
once begin the outlay of $11,000,000
in the construction of a plant at Hammond. It will usher in the greatest
period of prosperity that Hammond
has ever known if the decision is
reached to proceed with the work.
In view of these tremendously Im
portant meetings which may set in
operation the machinery of vast or
ganizations and result in the expend!
ture of millions and the employment
of great industrial armies; it behooves tbe people of this region to
get busy.
The region has taken practically
no steps to provide, homes for the
thousands of men who will invade it in the near future. Great city building projects are awaiting the touch of the executive. New subdivisions must be opened and built up. Streets must be adequately lighted. The spirit of metropolitanism which pervades Gary must become more general. We must awaken to the fact that
we nave attained the dignity or a series of metropolises. Let's forgot the election and in a great revival of community patriotism lets make Lake County the most populous and prosperous in the state.

OUR special correspondent. Hennery Ooldbottle, has returned from Milwaukee( where, he went to vote. Hennery likes to maintain in his residence in Milwaukee and just why we don't know. IT is expected by next Monday, when the weekly papers are delivered by the R. F. IX patriots, that tho good natives of Porter county will know the
election results. DESPITE the fact that the Balkan war correspondents have the bloody
Turks on the run, we still are of the belief that when the Constantinople reporters get on tho firing line that thtre will a different tale to tell. CONGRATULATIONS to John B. Peterson, M. C.
