The result of the democratic primaries in Hammond last Saturday bring out one thing most clearly: The Becker political machine, once a fearsome juggernant to the ambitious of other democratic aspirants in Ham

mond, is decidedly N. G. There is something the matter with

sion is out of order. The steering knuckle is broken and only two of the

cylinders are hitting. There is a leak in the water cooling system and blowouts in three casings. Somebody pegged a stone through the windshield

and two fenders were put hora du combat with telegraph poles. The front

axle is bent and several gashes are quite headlights have been stolen and the gear

Otherwise the machine is all right. Seriously speaking, Hammond democrats have grown aweary of being

dominated by not so much Becker as Smalley was not getting a square deal

was a Becker candidate. This was denied and Judge Becker left the city so

that it might help instead of hinder Dr.

Of Judge McMahon, a most estimable gentleman whom the Smaller in

terests dealt with very unkindly. It may nished a Roman holiday for the crowd.

The Duelke candidacy was as expected. There are few in Hammond

who can beat him. John Psscaly was

find one of the most picturesque stand-patters in the council ousted. The scandal In the East Standard district, the bringing back of John Papp (for what purpose?) and a host of other things will put the democrats in a dubious place if a strong fusion ticket is named.

An interesting campaign Is promised, but there will have to be a new

chauffeur for the Becker machine. FOR TREASURER.

Quite believe this. They iave no use for children. TEACHING SAFETY. As an illustration of the interest taken in the prevention of accidents the monthly bulletin issued by the Inland Steel company of Indiana Harbor is enlightening. It circulates am-ng the employes of that concern and warns them of the dangers which they daily encounter and advises simple precautionary methods for avoiding accidents. For example, in a recent issue under an illustration headed '"Safeguard Your Eyes" is this warring in Polish, Croation, Roumanian, Slovak and Hungarian as well as In English: "Wear goggles when working around circular saws, chipping, handling acid. cutting caoies, working at emery wheels, etc." There is also a brief article by Dr. Robert Ansley on the need of protecting the eyes and the Injury 1 ( that is likely to result to them unless iney are guarded The longest article is written by the superintendent of the company's bar mill and gives tho various causes of accident ind the percentage due to each cau?e.

If the men are taught that they must exercise great care and ' caution they will do so, but if this is not constantly impressed upon them they ' will grow Daily News. careless." Chicago SEEIN' THINGS. "The day of the boss is gone," said Secretary of State Bryan, speaking in Harrisburer. Pa. "The neonle will write their own platforms hereafter and send their own representatives to the legislative halls." Some one please get a lot of cracked ice, no matter what price the trust charges for it, and apply it to the pa tient's head. It is much feared the humorous Harrisburgers have been playing tricks with the secretary's canteen. Plain grape juice would never pro duce visions like that. TORIES TO THE LAST. In Great P.ritain and Ireland one of the most Infamous wrongs entrenched by long usage and the sanction of the laws is the system of plural voting for members of parliament. When a new house of commons Is I iij in iiu K'etii. ai.e ji iS eaBj ior a man to go from one district to another and thtn on to a third, in time to vote in j as many places as he is entitled t a j ballot.

The effect, of course, is to give a rich man several times the power of a poor man in electing the national parliament or congress. It is a suffrage based upon property, and the departure from a standard such aa

years. They have worked together never opposing In many campaigns In politics. The ties of friendship and Of politics that have grown up between them are strong. Mr. Taggart was tickled half to death over the election of Governor Ralston, and ever since the latter took office Mr. Tag gart has been a frequent caller at the state house to see how things are runring. As far as is known. Mr. Taggart finds little to complain of at the state house. The Governor has been harried greatly by the flood of letters which have come to him from various places telling of violations of the gambling, raving:, liquor and other criminal laws of the state, adn asking him to take a hand in the enforcement of these laws. Such reports have come from the Porter race track, from Terre Haute Americans have always been familiar with is so wide that it cannot be defended by any believer in the equality of all men at the polls. It is an abuse which flatly contradicts the oft-repeated assertion that Great Britain is really more democratic than the "United States in its form of government. Now an effort is being made to abolish this gross injustice of plural voting. The house of commons has passed a bill for that purpose, but the house of lords, true to its Tory traditions, rejected this reform measure by the overwhelming majority of 168 to 42. In the end. the stand of the heredi tary branch of. parliament can avail nothing more than delay, but it will make class feeling run higher than ever in England and breed trouble in the years to come. BUILDING OUTLOOK BRIGHTER. Those who saw a curtailment in t building operations in this region, par ticularly in Gary, because of the withdrawal of money to move the crops and the unsettled state of the money market, can now dispel their fears. There has been a visible loosening in the financial market. Bankers, who discouraged financing of new enterprises and sought to build up reserves, did wisely. The world this spring was in the position of a vast corporation doing too much business without enough money to run it. Due to the check put on expenditures and the accumulation of healthy reserves the business world has been given a needed tonic. We can now expect, and. in fact, we are witnessing the beginning of the restoration of confidence. The action of the secretary of the treasury in taking steps to place foO,000.000 treasury funds in the west and southwest, where the money will be loaned to banks at low rates, will help to keep the Chicago reserves larger than they have been in previous crop times. Because of this there will not exist that expected tightness in building loans. Even If money is somewhat flrmer than it has been in recent months the near future has every indication that it will be much more elastic than was anticipated. THAT BUYERS' GUIDE. Simon Magee. manager of the Chi cago branch of the Leslie-Judge compa ny, takes exception to the editorial published in THE TIMES last month in which it was said that Leslie's Weekly was trying to boost Its circulation by sending solicitors in the Calumet region on a circulation-advertising scheme for a Calumet region edition. He adds that the solicitor promised and contracted for advertising in what will be known as "The Buyers' Guide," a monthly publication which the LeslieJudge company says It is going to print.

race track, from Clinton, from the Otter Creek township local option election in Vigo county, and from many other places. -All of the informants tell the Governor that flagrant violations are carried on. Up to this time.

however, the Governor, has tnken an of the law. but thathey were carried on in such a manner as to make it very difficult to get at them. ' When word was received from Terre Haute that bookmaklng and gambling was in progress at the races, the Governor sent word that the Terre Haute tlon in Otter Creek township, Vigo county, and reports were sent to the Governor that the Crawford Fairbanks crowd was using repeaters and that the election was full of corruption The Governor again told them to see the local authorities, all of whom were nominated and elected by the Crawford Fairbanks-Donn Roberts machine. The result was that nothing was done. The fact Is. however, that the Governor has no power to remove an offi cial Tor falling to do his duty. If there was such a law he might easily compel the officials of any county or city to enforce the 1 aws or Ret out of office. This la a very great handicap to the Governor, who. It is believed, has a sincere desire to see the laws enforced if he could have his own way about it. According to a number of reputable business men of Hammond, one solicitor told them that he represented Leslie's Weekly and gave them to understand that the ad was to be in Leslie's Weekly, but this Mr. Magee denies and a ks that his company be set right. A number of Hammond merchants say that the solicitor said nothing to them of the Buyers' Guide, but according to Mr. Magee, that is the name of the publication which will circulate in the Calumet region. THE "CELESTIAL" KINGDOM. Everyone knows the epithet "Celestial" applied to China, but few know its origin. According to a very old legend Thibet is a fragment of a planet once peopled by a yellow race, which in some way became detached and fell on the earth. The dazed inhabitants of the fragment were uninjured, and, cold and hungry, they made their way toward China, which they peopled. This origin of the Chinese race led to their calling themselves "Celes tials, "and it is for this reason that the emperor calls himself Son of Heav en. Such at least is the legend. WHAT 'S MATTER, JOHN? What in the name of the classic Bezor, whose rippling waters purl no more through the still more classic county seat, has to the Hon. J. B. Pet erson been doing with the good people of Lafayette. The Courier of that city Bays: Mr. Charles F. Williams, Jr., is inviting his friends Into the sanctum of the Leader, where with great pride he is showing a beautifully framed oil painting of the Hon. John R. Peterson, the gift of that statesman to Mr. Williams. The Hon. Peterson has recently risen to fame and a comfortable salary among us, and he takes this way of acknowledging the helpfulness and encouraging attitude Of Mr. Williams toward him in his rise. The likeness of the Hon. Peterson Is described as bl as life and twice as natural, but as Inscrutable as the sphinx.

John B. fore and aft, for his failure to support the pause of civil service reform. The Times is not particularly strong in Its democracy, so it is alleged, and its continued advocacy of relieving congressmen of the necessity of dispensing postal patronage Is cited against it by the dyed-in-the wool spoilsmen.
