tract attention, ha Is right. And therein arc the women right.
Attention ii what they want. At
tention nioana advertising. And free
advertising' at that. There would he no attention worth mentioning, with
out that contributed through publici
ty in the press of the country. Suffrage leaders realize this and if they can get anybody to secure this for them, whether silly or wise, It is all
to the good of their cause.
Bishops are conservative. Their
calling makes them bo. But even a bishop needs advertising to give his
power recognition and render his influence far-reaching. Business men, society leaders, leaders in clubdom, in the drama, In everything in fact,
recognize the value of extensive publicity. An actor would vastly prefer
roast by the reviewer, to being
ignored. The real society woman, who aspires to leadership and who attains it, never says "I do not care for
newspaper notoriety," or If she says it, she does it so cleverly that the
society editor knows she . does not mean it. She may not 'care" for it, but she knows she cannot be a leader
without it. It is only the narrow and the provincial who are afraid to have their names or the cause they represent appear in print, unless they have
done something or represent some cause they are ashamed of.
Advertising makes leaders. Lead
ers make advertising and without
publicity, the best cause on earth
would not succeed, outside of a very
narrow sphere.

so far outgrown tha high protective system, that men are much lesa disturbed than they used to be over
prospective changes in the ratea of duty. There Is, too, leas disposition to talk panto for political effect. Men are inclined to minimise rather than to exaggerate unfavorable symptoms when they develop, bo desirous are we all that prosperity shall continue.
Doubtless there are a few old-time
Republicans who will rub their eyes when they read of even one Increase of wages following a Democratic victory. They have been taught to be
lieve that after such a victory things
were bound to move in the other di
rection. But even they will rejoice at this evidence of sound business
conditions.
THEY are now trying to find out
which is the worst governor in the U
S. Well you needn't ltok in Indiana
for one anyway.
A GREAT INSTITUTION.
Great is the department of agri
culture. Don't know how we could
get along without It. Really ought
to have one in every home. We littl
know what great, wide and deep
things the department Is doing
Only yesterday the following docu
ment came to light: "The term 'fungi as used in the act and these regulations, is understood to mean all non-chlorophyll bearing plants of a lower order
than mosses and liverworts (1. e., non-chlorophyll bearing thallophytes), comprising rusts, smuts, mildews, molds, yeasts, bacteria, Ac". This is signed by the Secretary of the Treasury, countersigned by the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and bears all the naughts and crosses and funny numbers and jiglets and other terrifying things always noticeable cn pub. docs. And yet the farmer thinks" the department isn't doing anything for him.
WELL have you got over the orgy
yet?
TEN YEARS.
Cheer up, there's no telling what
you may be in 1923!
It seems but a short time since
January, 1903. Yet it is ten years
since then.
The decade just passed has brought
out into the limelight many who
were obscure or comparatively so at
the beginning of 1903. Mr. Taft was a Philippine com
missioner, Woodrow Wilson had just
got above the title of professor,
Thomas R. Marshall was a country
lawyer, Postmaster General Hitch
cock was a clerk, Justice Hughes of the supreme court was plugging
away as a lawyer and Chairman Mc
Comb of the national democratic
committee was a law clerk.
Governors, senators, congressmen, judges, authors, railway executors
and many others who were occupying humble spheres ten years ago are
now at the top of the ladder.
The next decade" will bring forth
as many brilliant climbs to prefer
ment. There are many of the humble and the obscure today who will be tho
big men of 1923.
RATHER hard to get it 1913 every
time isn't it?
v hi still wlsn you a more prosperous year in 1913 than you had in
1912 and believe that it will be en
tirely due to your own efforts if you
do not have a better year.
THEY ARE NOT USELESS.
Bishop W. C. Doane of the Albany,
N. Y. Episcopal diocese has' criticized as "undignified and useless" the methods employed by the New York
suffragettes in making their pilgrimage to the New York capital city
to meet 'Governor-elect Sulzer.
. The bishop is wrong in one respect Undignified these methods may be,
but useless they are not, unless the
entire cause of suffrage is useless
The distinguished churchman how
ever, does not declare himself against the cause of suffrage, but voices his opposition to the methods employed
In advancing it.
In characterizing the women who
engaged in the 150 mile "hike" as
"a pack of silly, excited, exaggerated
women who have done this thing to
attract attention," the- bishop is cer
tainly correct as to the latter part of
the utterance. Far be it from this
newspaper to agree with the arraigner of the "pack" as to the members who compose it being silly, excited or exaggerated. But when he ; pays they are doing this thing to at-
JUST what have you made up your
mind to accomplish during 1913.

HENRY WHITAKER OF HAMMOND, WHO WAS SWORN IN AS LAKE COUNTY'S SHERIFF LAST NIGHT.
COURTS tell us that abuses exist
because of the apathy of the people.
Forget it. The people just can't help themselves.
DON'T FORGET OUR CALUMET.
According to a Washington dis
patch. Congressman James R. Mann
of Chicago, will troduce a bill in the
house authorizing the construction of
a turning basin in the Grand Calumet
river at One Hundred and Sixteenth
street, and the abapdonment of the old channel of the stream as far as
One Hundred and Fourteenth street.
The plan, according to the dispatch.
is to have the old river bed turned
over to the abutting property owners
in exchange for land that will be
used for the turning basin. He will
ask also for a survey of the Little Calumet river as far as Blue Island with a view of improving the chan
nel to a width of 200 feet.
Congressman Mann, although of
another state is looked upon as a
friend of the whole Calumet region.
We hope his bill may find favor,
eventually. In tne meantime we
would suggest that it is about time
for the various committees in con
gress, who pass upon improvements of this nature, to look upon the Grand Calumet river as one whole
project for Improvement, and that
they refuse to be stricken with
myopia every time the Indiana state
line looms in sight.
We do not doubt Col. Mann's frinedship for the entire Calumet region, but also recognize in him the astute politician who Would serve his own constituency first. We are no
advocate of dog-in-the-manger
politics; we realize that the prac
tlcability of the Grand Calumet river on the Indiana side depends to some
extent on the Improvement in the
neighboring state, but why draw
state line In matter of federal in
terest?
The Calumet cities in Lake county went on their knee before congress,
and were forgotten in the shuffle
We hope Col. Mann may .be more
successful, if it will Impress congress with the Importance of the Calumet
River as a whole.
THE man who said that doing and
loving make up the happiness of life had a great head. Everybody's do

ng can be partly estimated from the
number of divorces.

THE STEEL TRADE. Those who have been looking for a
panic, or at least for hard times, as
a result or tne election or woodrow
Wilson, will be surprised and no
doubt gratified at the action of the United States Steel Corporation in in
creasing wages. The gentlemen of
Wall street seem to have been pleas
antly shocked. They had figured
that in view of the certain reduction of the duties in the steel schedule.
and of the suit against the steel trust,
there would be no increase of wages. But conditions in the trade are so
extraordinarily satisfactory and
they seem to be steadily improving as to make the advance both natural
and proper. There are enough orders now on the books of the mills to keep things going from six to nine months,
even were there no new business. The
last quarter of 1912 was the best of the year. New contracts are being
made fully equal to the monthly average of last year which was high
It is thought that rail purchases for the current year will be the heaviest
in the history of the steel industry
Next month will witness the placing
of many large contracts. Business has showed a marked increase during
the last ten days.
So far from there having been a
halt, there has been a decided advance. There is no reason why there should be any concern over conditions in the steel trade at least for another
year, it may Be added tnat tne gen
eral business situation continues to
be god. The people evidently have confidence in the Democratic party under its present leadership. We believe that it is also true that we have

IS THINKING OF POLITICS
East Chicago, like most of her
sister cities in the Calumet region
now that this Christmas business is
over, is beginning to think of muni
cipal politics.
The mayoralty election is less than
year away and it is high time to
begin to consider the situation from
all its angles. From present indica
tions all kinds and conditions of can
didates may be expected to burst up on the political horizon. Any num
ber are threatening to cease their career of violet beside a mossy stone, and are rehearsing speeches In which
they will enlighten the dear peepul as to what they have accomplished that is worthy of reward, and what
they expect to accomplish, if rewarded.
Right now it might be well to offer
a little word of advice to the voters,
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor are1
ripe for a few big things. Several large industries are talking of locating here In the Immediate future. Some have purchased sites with the intention of building in the spring. Others have bought land with less definite purpose, as to the exact date of beginning operations. In either case, however, the manner of man who will be chosen to fill
the office of chief executive, is of
vast importance. Character should
count more than politics. A man to him. We venture to predict that at should be chosen whom East Chicago! times he will find that thlnss are more
ashamed of. He should, be big enough to submerge personal feelings
and interest in public welfare. Ho hsould be able to realize, that there are two towns combined within one municipality, and should play no
favorites, regardless of which end he makes his residence in and where he has his private business located. Moreover he should be honest.
In short, a broad-minded, public
spirited man of integrity, is the man
to administer the affairs of the Twin Cities. '
SIX women were tried in Chicago during 1912 for killing their husbands, Chicago can't get over being a slaughter house.
WHY don't they give Mr. Wilson
more rest and less advice?
BEAUTY page says that it is very proper and comely to part the hair in the middle. Yes it is when you have something to part there.

Rich and stunning gowns of the latest designs decreed by Dame Fashion, glittering Jewels, which, if heaped together, would provide ransom for an Oriental prince, made the feminine contingent even more fair in contrast with the conventional full dress of the masculine patron and presented a scene which rivaiwd in splendor the descriptions of olden court days.

participate in the danciag. The sweet littl debutants were also there and for many a day they have been on the qui vive with excitement for as Joliet's polite society rarely gives debut parties, or at least no formal presentation to society. It Is generally at the charity ball that these maidens make their bow. They appear in their first party gown of decollete corsage and hair down lit the latest mode and are hardly recognized as the school girl of a short time before. OLD W, II. F. Parry sent 6,000 pounds of bricks through the parcel post at Gary yesterday. It is now up to Postmaster Call to send him his goat via the same medium of dispatch.
