THE federal government is going to let the California legislature do its own legislating, but this was not al
ways thus.
THE TARIFF. Credit is given the democratic party for fearlessness in introducing tariff revision. The measure is now before the country for inspection and Cpngress for action. A long wrangle over,, individual cuts and slashes would only prolong the agony. The bill might as well be accepted. It may be a bitter dose, but it's no use contemplating it. The expression, "You can't make an omelette without breaking egg3," fits the case exactly. The democrats have unhesitatingly smashed the eggs and they're on the fire. How the omelette will turn out time alone will tell. If national calamity results, industries being destroyed, concerns driven away to Canada, mills closed, payrolls cut and soup houses opened, it cannot be helped. It is sincerely hoped nothing of the sort will result. If it does it will be easy to locate those responsible. If the revision proves beneficial, to the victors belong the honors. But don't waste time. Let what is to be done be done quickly, so that things can find a level and business be resumed.
NOW that Mr. Tyrus Cobb has been mentioned in connection with a matter of assault and battery, the baseball season may be considered fully inaugurated.

A NEW LOVE WRINKLE. Faint hearted youths who fain would ask for the hand of a fair one in marriage need no longer worry and annex a few wrinkles. If you haven't the courage to "pop" the question see kthe aid of the Rev. Father Angelus. pastor of St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic church, in the picturesque little city of Englewood, N. J. He is willing to do all the proposing that the youths wish. And if a girl of the modern school those who believe they should propose would like to ask some youth to lead her to the altar but hesitate, he will do it for her. Father Angelus admits he 13 a sort of right hand aid to Cupid. He has told four thousand members of his congregation that he believes in the young marrying earl-, that children are better than automobiles and more

SELECTING THE NEXT MAYOR.
The political barometer has just
recorded startling low pressure areas in republican territory. In fact the
barometric conditions have not
changed since the typhoon last November which swept the G. O. P.
oft its feet.
The protest is against the prosti
tution of politics by the self-seeker, the perpetual office-seeker whose hypocritical patriotism, his love for the "grand old flag" is merely a stall
either to get him into office or to
keep him there.
The protest was one against the
party in power. It will be just as
strong against the present party in
power unless it mends its ways.
There has got to be a new conception of politics.
When the respective political
parties in each of the cities of the
Calumet region get ready to name
their candidates for municipal office
are they going about it in the old
way?
Are a few local political bosses.
ward-heelers and office holders going to act as the board of directors of
the political parties to which they
adhere with full power to act?
That is the way we have been gov
erning ourselves of late. You don't
have a word to say. The game is so
dirty that you don't care to mix in it. Some one assumed to direct the destinies of your part, with full power to act, and your protest falls on unhearing ears. It is time that the people of these cities were having something to say about whom the candidates for municipal office shall be. "We've agreed on So-And-So" should be vetoed by the people with a determination that will make the political boss sit up and take notice. Keep your eye on the barometer, Mr. Politician, there is a big blow coming.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT. Should the County Superintendent
of Schools be a Judge, a Sheriff, a political officeholder, or just an educa
tor who knows his business and gives
his whole attention to the schools? asks the United States Bureau of
Education. He is, or has been, all
of these in different parts of the
United States. In Texas it is' the County Judge who serves, in many of the counties.
as ex-officio Superintendent of Schools, and in at least one State the Sheriff used to hold the office. But Texas expects soon to have real county superintendents in all the counties
that are still without them, according to information received at the
Bureau of Education.
The new Texas Intention is based on the urgent needs of the State's
rural schools, Texas has 750,000
rural school children. Efficient county supervision is a prime requisite for efficient rural schools, and
Texas proposes to maintain efficient
rural schools. She Is endeavoring to relieve her county judges who make no claim to expert knowledge of rural school supervision of their duties as county superintendents of schools, and to select real superintendents, whose first claim to the position is professional training and ability. The proposed scheme puts the selection of the County Superintendent in the hands of the County Board of Education, to the end that this offer, like his city colleague, may be chosen for educational fitness rather than for political expediency. Educators everywhere, the Bureau declares, believe that adequate supervision by expert county superintend-

Heart to Heart Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
OUR DEBT TO HUMANITY. How much we owe mankind! Every hero tha died for liberty died for you and me. ; " Every martyr who gave his life to keep the faith was a sacrifice for us. Every scientist who devoted his years to patient investigation added to our light Every soldier who fought for righteousness helped to carve out the civilization we enjoy. We are the heirs of all these men. They toiled for us, planned for us, agonized for us. When we think of the infinite pains by which our Institutions were built
up. that human blood was used for the mortar between all the stones In the temple of our civilization, that the heights on which we dwell were erected out of the bodies of men, as the
coral isle is made up of the animal
cula of the sea, we are staggered by the obligation placed upon us. How enn we ever tell our gratitude to those who thus gavo their ail for our happi
ness? . The thought implants In us a reverence for our institutions and a desire to be very loyal to society. Its rules were made for our benefit Even though sometimes defective, as human institutions are apt to be, they yet are necessary until something better can be put In their stead. Our peace, prosperity, liberty, enlightenment security; our inventions, scientific knowledge, philosophy, religion, art, literature; our schools, clubs, churches, great cities, beautiful villages, railroads, steamships, ocean cables, wireless, aeroplanes, comforts, conveniences all these and other blessings are free gifts to us. They have been patiently wrought for us through the long ages of the past All that is asked of us in return la that we use them to the best advantage; that we do not abuse or ruthlessly destroy these precious inheritances. If we were keenly sensitive of all that has been done in our behalf we would never rest easy one moment unless we were doing for others. Humanity has placed on us a debt of sacred honor. - This debt we must repay to humanity.

No. 5. . ' WE COMPEL RESULTS.
With becoming modesty we assert that we are live wires; what's more, we demonstrate it. Remarkable things have been accomplished in Kenwood hi a few brief months. Forty acres of raw acreage were purchased from the Zachau heirs in October 1911. YV e had it surveyed, made a score of plats of the property- until we got one that suited us. Oot that accepted. . " We donated 54 feet for the straightening of Ilohman street and then the county paved it to a width of 40 feet. We are now petitioning for the oiling of the street Those interested in the development of the south side aided us in getting a $40,000 concrete bridge over the Little Calumet river. That bridge will be complete during the summer of 1913. We let the contract for a complete sewer system, that's built. The contract for a mile and a half of cement walk, curb and gutter is let and will be built at once. We are assured for immediate water service, the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company has received the pipe for gas main extensions, we have graded a mile of streets, petitioned for and secured the opening of Kenwood avenue and are now petitioning for the paving of nearly a mile of asphalt macadam streets. We will curb the county pavement on State Line street, have Kenwood avenue opened through to Burnham avenue in West Hammond and boulevarded; the east side of Ilohman street is to be parked with dense shrubbery to a width of 24 feet in accordance with plans by our expert landscape gardner, and a dozen fine residences will be erected this year. The very magnitude of these operations must compel attention. Beware of buying property from the man who plats his property and goes to sleep on his blue prints. When you buy in a subdivision vou take stock in the enterprise as a whole. Don't tie up with the man who sells out a subdivision as a speculative proposition. The development of Kenwood is real. Are you casting your lot with live ones? Roscoe E. Woods, President. Frank Hammond, Secretary. Office Hammond Savings and Trust Company. Phone 62.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HONORS.
Frank W. Wool worth, owner of the tallest building in the world, the Woolworth building in New York, 66 stories high, and noted for his chain of 5 and
10-cent stores throughout the country, was born at Rodman, N. Y., April 13,
1852. When still a boy on the farm
he had an ambition to be a merchant
He was ever buying and selling things for his mother when a child and he was delighted on the days when the
peddler's wagon arrived.
He began to develop the idea which
has resulted in his great chain of
stores as far back as 1879, at Utlca, N.
Y. The idea was a success from the
beginning. Presently a second store
was opened, and so on until today there Is hardly a city of any sire In the
United States which has not a 5 and
10-cent store. The new building which
Mr. Woolworth has Just erected in New York cost $13,500,000 and he expects to reap from it a rental of J2.500.000 an-
naliy. . - .

This season the silver band of old has given way to the Gold Band and all of Prof. William Walters musicians have instruments which have been finished in gold. Besides offering two dally concerts, the band appears in the opening spectacle 'Minstrelsy Past and Present."
