"That scare has got to stop, and stop soon. The country won't stand for it. A man came to me the other day in Washington and said: 'Mr. Marshall, I'm one of a group of men who represent $75,000,000 which is waiting to be invested." What are you waiting for?' I asked. He' said: 'We're waiting for congress to see what congress is going to do.' 1 said: Well, if I had my way I'd see that $75,000,000 baked, boiled and fricassed and shoved down the throats of the men who own it. Capital that can't get a square deal Is not much to anybody. Wa might as well face this scare business now as any time. It was bound to come any way. It won't amount to anything, for this country's prosperity is on too solid a basis to be easily scar ed."

THE University of Wisconsin has

THE SPANISH MONEY GAME. The writer of this remembers distinctly when he was a boy and living at home of the great excitement In the house upon the receipt of letters from that dear old Madrid in Spain telling of the fortune that awaited the pater if he would only act and
act in' a hurry." Without doubt others
in the vicinity have received the let ters. . . , v
It will be gratifying to many persons to learn that the Society for
the Relief of the Spanish Prisoner is about to disband, the Spanish
: prisoner being at last really in prison
For fifteen years this highbrow green goods game hasflooded the
country with circular letters Betting forth the sufferings in a Spanish dungeon of a grandee with a fortune
of millions in America, a goodly por
tion of which would be given any
one advancing a trifle to finance the release, which was reported easy of
accomplishment.
Oh, yes, and there was an only
daughter, senoritaf of great beauty,
thrown into the painful story for
- good measure.
; Usual feeling of men receiving : these communications was indignation that they should be taken for easy marks, but the arrest in Madrid of fifteen, men with much money, who have been conducting the Industry, shows that the game was a profitable one. . The society . for the separation of tenderhearted men from their money - will now be busy for awhile thinking up a new scheme.

The hon. Homer Carr, the great Gary reformer and city beautiful ex

the Hon. Tom Knotts, during the
Lean Drmery cases, nas once more
knelt at the Knotts throne.
y Yesterday tbe Gary board of pub
lic works, a Knotts creation voted to
restore Homer his meal ticket at the . public printing trough. The
Tribune will get half of the spolls
with the Post. It Is understood that the yield will be about $4,000 or
$5,000 a year. While this Is rather tough on the Post which has been
allowed to hog all of the board of works , printing it shouldn't get
jealous.. Precedent allows that
Homer be tied to the Knotts kite

the Tribune was well greased with
THE PAPER HANGER. Ever had anything to do with a
paper hanger? Ever had to wait
for him during house cleaning time?
If you have you'll sympathize with
Abe Martin in this:
"With th' first little green patches o' mint near th' brooklet in th' vale comes th' hight o' th' wall paper season. In th' dim twilight th' white phantom-like figure o' th' paper hanger skulks along f his evenin' meal after promtsin' f be In forty different places at th' same time t'morrow. -Next V th' green-eyed ' monster th's riothln' that enters th' home that kin - so completely an' thoroughly ,destroy its peace an' happiness as . a paper hanger. A first class paper hanger has been known t work a whole day without layin off fer a week. Ther never wux such a thing as a first class, reliable paper hanger. Thers reliable paper hangers thaf'll sometimes work three days at a stretch, but ther's all th' difference In th' world between a paper hanger that, loves his work an' a first class paper hanger. Th' better a paper hanger is th' less he works, an th' less he works th' more he promises. "Th wall paper season marks th first bitter experience o' th young married couple. If ayoung wife kin hold her love fer. her husband thro' th' preliminary stages o' th' game th' selection ' paper fer th' dinin' room an' parlor an th' young husband kin retain- his love an' respect fer his wife thro' th' long fretful days when she expects th' paper hanger ever' minute, ther is ever" reason t' believe that ther love'll endure - that all th' subsequent trials an' tribulations that beset domestic life in North America will be as nothin' f a union o' hearts that ' has weathered a paper hanger's bllghtin' hand.
Why is it that the paper hanger is
such a contrary cuss?

The object of the system, accord
ing to Superintendent Cummings,
who inaugurated it after observing the work at Fitchburg, Mass., is not only to provide a rational course of study for pupils who desire specific
preparatipn for a trade, but also "tn
serve a purpose in the periormanco
of the school's duty to the industries
and to society."
The work is already proving Its
importance, in the opinion of Super
intendent Cummings. He points to
the significant case of two boys who, after having made abject failures of
the regular high school work the year before, are successful leaders in the work of the industrial department.

THE MINIMUM WAGE. and shop" system onw in effect in
However well intentioned the Lansing, Mich., as reported to the!
crusade for a minimum wage for working girls may have been, it Is
slowing up perceptibly, and bids fair to accomplish nothing. It is a matter of supply and demand. The Richmond Virginian puts it bluntly when it says: "The minimum wage may be all right if it does not drive industries and es
tablishments out of business and
leave the employes of both sexes with no wages of any kind, which
might, in practical results, be worse
than low wages
The only way apparently to help
the working girl is to respect her and
see that she is accorded justice when
she has cause for complaint
The problem of the minimum wage is not so serious in the smaller towns of the country as it is in cities like
ANYONE SEEN LENA? Anyone seen Lena? Her hubby,
George Dean, editor of the Logan,
(W. a.) Banner, is looking for his
Lena to whom he was married a few months "ago. The distracted editor has plastered the eastern police head
quarters with the following circular:
"Realising that Lena was weary assisting in the grind Incident to getting out a paper week arter week in a one man shop. We gave her fare and sent her off, thinking that a couple of weeks with relatives would do her good. We have not seen her since. The slanderous , tongues of certain people probably have separated' Us from her. "The Banner man is not a Saint, neither is he any more of a devil than most of the editors that have struck Logan. Mrs. Dean may not have been an angel; in fact there are mighty few such of either sex these days. At any rate one need not expect to find any in Logan. ' The editor has ben as bad as any c-f them; but We kot married with full knowledge of the past and settled down, hoping to make Komethlng of each other. Nobody gets much credit these . days trying to be good." "Lena is fond of good shows. Attends regularly. Usually sleeps till noon. She was converted two years ago at Buchanan, Ky. Whatever she may have done, her husband's arms are open to receive her back." From the description Lena is i
willing helpmate and we hope that
Mr. Dean finds his missing better
half. Next time he'll know better
than packing his Lena off for a visit
with relatives.

HE WANTS TO KNOW. Editor Times: I see by your paper of the 20th inst. that the city council of Oary is thinking of purchasing two more automobiles at the expense of the taxpayers. Has the council the power to spend public money In this way for unnecessary things? Were they chosen for a bunch of spendthrifts or to protect the public from unjust things? A city council is paid by the public and are servants of the citizens, and I think it is up to the mayor to rule against such things instead of sanctioning them.. If they 'have no legal nower to spend money in this way it
is up to the citizens to call a halt on such even if they have to go to court
and get an injunction restraining such
actions. If they are compelled to show cause where it Is necessary to have these motors they will have to go some, for I do not believe they have any more use for two more autos than a wagon
