Whether we approve of the methods by which the principles are established the fact remains that the many are asserting their rights over the few. The tremendous changes in China are so recent that their full significance has not yet been fully realized. Equally remarkable ia the equal suffrage movement that has just won out with a ten days "political strikeIn Belgium. The manner In which the half million socialists won is as disconcerting to the ruling powers as the concessions that they had to make, for, the Belgian movement has been notable, according to the press dispatches, for the energy and determination displayed for the excellent control shown by the men. The immediate victory consists in that the government promises to take up for consideration a change of the Belgian parliamentary franchise with its hated system of plural votes for the wealthier and more educated emlasses. At the last returns 993,070 roen possessed one vote, 395.S66 two votes and 308,683 three voteB, so that the single votes were always overwhelmed, but now the leaders are confident that the franchise will be made equal. r The government leaders may well have fears that surrender will encourage the socialists to resort to the general strike for other reforms they may desire, but the success of our own republic strengthens ,ln us the confidence in the rule for and by the people. THEY are still writing on "How to Keep Hens for Profit," "How to Keep a Husband In Line" and other fool things like that. AFTER THE NEW TARIFF. The confidence and courage of the Secretary of Commerce, a thoroughly wideawake and successful manufacturer In industries whose protection is cut by the new tariff bill, are not less' noticeable and refreshing In the interview in yesterday's Sun than his alert intelligence and his readiness to meet new conditions. Prepare for competition, meet it by Increased efficiency; that is his motto, and he foresees good times when the present uncertainty is over.

The Sun believes that a similar confidence, courage, intelligence, adaptability are common among American industries. They or most of them can make their way against the world; and they are bothered far less oy cnanges of tariff than by doubt about and waiting for the changes. Hurry up with the tariff ia Con gress, bo that every industry may know just where it stands and go to work with renewed energy, hope and prosperity! New York Sun. BET Oh dear no, we said he was a great force In politics not a great farce. WHEN TO BELIEVE. Miss Laura Buhle of Laporte has come to be a cut litle Joker herself. The other day Chicago pap- - ers announced the granting of a marriage license to Laura Buhle of Laporte and DonaJd Walker of Chicago. To the Laporte Herald Miss Buhle contended the license was the result of a Joke perpetrated by friends. She became Indignant and threatened to make It hot for the guilty parties. Now comes announcement of the marriage of Miss Buhle and Mr. Walker. - Thua a newspaper is bumped. The- secret of the whole thing Is that Miss Buhle was anxious to keep her friends in Ignorance of her marriage for a few days. . Rather than go to the newspapers like a lady, tell them of her approaching marriage and then ask them to withhold publication until such time as she might indicate, which request would undoubtedly have been granted (The News does It frequently) this person saw fit to deceive and misrepresent things in her own crude method of suppressing an Hem in which probably but few. If any persons, outside the family circle, were Interested. A newspaper appreciates th confidence placedxln it even in small matters and it is doubted If the Laporte girl has gained anything In the eyes of her friends and the public. Michigan City News. The indignation of the editor is pardonable. Few papers . are there which have not met with the same experience. This paper has had many suhc tales of woe to tell. Ladies 'who would scorn to lie to each other will lie deliberately to a newspaper. LATEST news: Somewhere the,sun is shining and somewhere Tom Marshall is still talking. ANOTHER ROAST FOR MARSHALL. "We may as well confess that the Jefferson birthday dinner given by the National Democratic club in this city was a frost. Only about half as many guests as usual attended, and those who were there were glum as oysters. Even the customary toast to the president of the United States was omitted, and there was a good deal of silence when Mr. Marshall, expressed his personal belief that Mr. Wilson Is the authorized representative "of the Almighty. " "It Is hard to descry why this was so. One would have exnected much enthusiasm at a democratic dinner when the democrats hold full power In nation, state, and city, but there was nothing like as much as tnere used to be when they held no offices worth mentioning; in fact, there was practically none at all. "Mr. Marshall, of course, didn'.t help much when he gave what the World calls 'a mischevious twist to Jeffersonian doctrine and held up to wealth the terrors of confiscation as constitutionally possible through the taxing power.' The Idea is strongly Imbedded hereabouts that, when Mr. Jefferson drew the fifth amendment guaranteeing that no citizen shall bn deprived of his property withoutdue process of law," and tlt no private .property shall be taken for public

(From the Huntington Herald.) Emerson E. Ballard, the noted temperance orator, was greeted by a full house when he spoke at the Coliseum Sunday afetrnoon. GREAT SCOTT! English business men have been obliged to take out suffragette insurance.

WE would like to see somebody try for the America cup for Sir Thos. Upton's sake. Can't the Hammond Motor, Boat Club fix it up some way? . DANCES FIND A FRIEND. The turkey trot, the tango and the one-step have found a friend in the midst of all their afternoon tea troubles. Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, secretary of the National Civic Federation, which sees to it that working girls not only have a good time in the summer but fun all the year through, has come to the defence of the trotting dances which have set all New Yorkers by the ears and a large proportion of them by the toes. "The turkey trot, properly danced, is a rhythmical and good looking dance," she declared. "I approve of the turkey trot, the tango,, the one step and all the rest of these new dances when they are properly and correctly danced. There is no harm in them and a great deal of fun. But," and Miss Smith nodded her hear very emphatically, "if a girl doesn't know how to dance them correctly she shouldn't dance them at all. "The real point Is just this, and it applies equally to the working girl and to the society girl. If a girl will respect herself just as much in dancing as she would If the man was sit ting on the sofa beside her, there will be no harm for her in dancing the turkey trot. "These dances are beautiful, and I bellevethey have come to stay, because they are so much more rhyth mical and spontaneous than the old waltz and two-step. They express so naturally the joyous overflow of ex uberance and good spirits. They have that primitive satisfying quality of pure rhythm, like the beating of tomtoms and the rhythmical dances of; Indians p-nd Oriental peoples. j "Anything new is likely to be con sidered shocking until you grow ac customed to it."

Regardless of the fact that there will probably never be entire agreement as to the extent to which low wage of the working girl contributes to delinquency, the investigations In to the situation now being conducted In vaious parts of the country, are already showing results of a gratifying character. It may be that insufficient wages, long hours and hard work cannot justly be charged with so large & degree of responsibility for the short-

(From the Argus-Bulletin.' . The Argus-Bulletin has too high respect for the intelligence of its constituency, too zealous of its well established' position as a newspaper, to give much attention to the drivelings of Its contemporary on Main street. There are times, however, when a little pricking of the gas bag is imperatively demanded, and possibly this may be one of them. The HeraLds boasted wire service. Its cablegrams from. Kingsbury and other points In the county. Its "excluslves (?)," Its constant parading of the fact that it is the leading newspaper (?), have become nauseating to the reading public.

' comings of those who fall as is claimed in some quarters, but one development of salutary character has been the bringing to employers of a new sense of responsibility that extends beyond the mere working hours for whoch he pays. Doubtless short-com ing in this respect in the past has been due not so much to indifferencw as to failure to appreciate the proper relationship between employer and employe. One interesting develop ment of the agitation is reported from Hammond, this state, where a dozen or more large employers of female la bor purpose to unite In the erection oi anome ror working girls. It Is planned to provide" living place fo them where they may be, surrounded by wholesome influences and where the living expenses shall be no more than they can afford to pay. One Fort Wayne Institution has provided accommodations of this character for the past few years, and It 13 declared the experiment is eminently satisfac tory. In seeking the same results on a large scope, employers at Hammond may be performing a distinct service. not only to their employes, but to other manufacturing cities as well. Ft. Wayne Sentinel. WORCESTER, Mass.. boasts that it consumes 180,000 doughnuts an nually. And here a large number of people have been wondering what was the matter with Worcester. THAT DEEP SEWER. Is Hammond building for the future or is it only occupied with the present? Among north side property owners who are opposed to the proposed deep sewer system, two arguments are ad vanced to justify their position, one that the improvement Is not yet need ed for their particular accomodation, the other that the. cost, slight as It may be, is an unbearable burden on the small property owner, who is working toward a home of his own on the Installment plan. To the man who has no consideration for the needs of tjie balance of the community, and who has not yet learned that "a screntiflcally correct improvement will Invariably enhance fthe value of property, these argu ments of present cost and needs may be all sufficient. But when It is borne in mind that the average north side lot will be taxed not more than seventeen dollars, and that the property owner has ten years time in which to pay this amount the argument of an unbearable burden falls flat, no matter how financially limited the property owner may be at the present time. As for the property owner who will have to pay for a sewer which he says he does not yet need, he is standing in his own light. His property under present conditions cannot advance in value. It has no future. Even the location of the Schleslnger steel plant is jeopardized as that corporation bought its site with the distinct understanding that It must be given adequate sewage accommodations. Other plants that might locate seeing no inducement seek other sites In
it 5 stead of taking advantage of some otherwise splendid locations on the north side. According to the proposed system property fronting on strets in which the trunk lines will be laid will be assessed an additional dollar ner front foot, because this property is getting the advantage of a local as well as a district sewer. Some property owners object to this. The trunks will be laid in the most im portant streets, , thoroughfares that have always had the best prospects. and which will continue to have them. The property owners speculated in the unearned increment In property along these streets and if the wheels of fortune require that they must pay out before they can cash In, that is their misfortune or the result of their poor judgment if one pleases to term it so. The community at large how ever should not be blamed for their lack of foresight. The city administration, naturally, trying to please all sides will have to decide one way or another. If silence gives consent it may rely on ten property owners voting In favor of the deep sewer system as against one remonstrator, and no administration can afford to disregard the wishes of so large a percentage. No matter what the question the opposition may always be relied on to show the most activity, and the same is true In the present situation. The would-be remonstrators are sincere and in earnest, no doubt, but even they would not assert themselves to oppose the balance of the city, and'U they can be convinced that they are working against their own interests they will make haste slowly in this important matter.

wider possibilities for the quality realness. A dramatic writer says: The orgies of the court in IJero'a palace proceed with a degree of naturalness which would never have been possible on the stage. - ,The trowd in front of the palace as Rome burns; the Emperor hearing with astonishment their imprecations, and the sight of Petronius turning their affections once more to Caesar these episodes were accomplished with a vivid flash of reality impossible to the dramatic stage. It was of course the burning of Rome which most fully revealed -the capacity of the pictures to Indicate spectacle. Through streets swept,, by smoke and flame rushed panic stricken people. Houses tottered and crumbled about them as the flames advanced relentlessly. With striking reality is the ' burning of the city represented; the later views of charred and ruined buildings added their effectiveness to the scenes. It was perhaps the most striking novelty of these pictures that the backgrounds never seemed to have been created for the special purposes of these various views. The action seemed on the other hand to be taking place in just the spots it would naturally have happened. Certainly the film screen in ' the nickel-show presents a greater opportunity for the burning of Romo than the finest stage in the world. "Quo Vadis?" In film Is one of the signs of the triumph, in many respects, of the I motion-film over the regular stage. TEXAS Is suing" the Standard Oil Company for ?10,000,000.

AGAfN IN THE TIMES.
VOICE OF? F E O R lTe Hammond, Ind., April 24. Editor Times: Monday evening The Times contained an editorial entitled "Bull Moose Activity" which Is worthy of some consideration. It Is true that the progressive party is made up of once republicans, democrats, prohibitionists and socialists, as stated in the editorial, who were dissatisfied with their parties' actions. There was some four millions of voters in this country who were disappointed and dissatisfied with the way the people's business was being conducted, and united under the progressive party, and proposed moving the federal government from Wrall street back to Washington, and placing It again In the hands of the people. Tes, you are right, Mr. Editor, there were a great many disappointed and dissatisfied fellows both before and after the fall election, some who were always aspiring for office, some who were expecting appointments and did not get them, because their friends had been defeated with the ballot. The progressives of Hammond have decided to participate In the next city election, and probably some one will again be defeated and disappointed likewise, to the good of our city. It is not a question as to who is going to be defeated, but who should win. The editorial practically concedes that neither of the old parties are capable of placing a ticket in the field made up of uch men as will measure up to the duties required and the standard demanded by the people, and that this duty will devolve upon some one else. At the next city election the election boards will be made up of democrats and progressives. The republicans will occupy the position of the progressives at the election last fall. It Is very natural that the republicans would want to avoid this embarrassment after having occupied a position on every election board for more than half a century, and would be more than pleased if they could In. duce their democratic friends to come to their assistance. This little bit of history and information throws some light on the situation. If the writer of the editorial had been at the organisation meeting of the progressive last Thursday evening, he would have heard a very interesting discussion that neither of the old parties are capable of placing- the proper ticket In the" field. After this discussion It was unanimously decided to place a full ticket in the field made up of men of such known Integrity and business experl tee the kind of an administration de sired and so much needed. The city needs the best administration that our best and most capable men can tglve it. In order to hold its proper position In
