LEAVE IT TO THE VOTER.
On o the splendid, things about
present-day city campaigns and elec
tions Is that voters are thinking
quietly and are not deceived by par
tlsan clamor and hurrah. They are
more from Missouri than they ever were before. Tou can't take a man into a saloon nowadays, pat him on
the back, buy him a drink and con
vince him that he ought to vote for
you Just because you buy.
The taxpayer wants to know the
why and the wherefore of things con
nected with the city administration
He is brainy enough to form his own
conclusions. It is an insult to the
intelligence pf the voter to try and coerce him into supporting a partisan
ticket simply because it is partisan
He doesn't like the machine because
he is naturally suspicious of ma
chines. He knows that its costs tax
payers to run political machines. The old time bloody-shirt political campaign is a thing of the past to the Borrow of the rabid partisan. The voter is amply able to discriminate. He can see for himself the difference between right and wrong. We have every confidence in the voter. He is not sticking his head in the sand this year till the storm blows by. Not so you could notice it.

SHAM REFORMERS.
Both the Gary Tribune, "support
ing" the Citizens' ticket, and the Gary Post, boosting the Knotts party,
are clamoring for pure politics, hon
est government, and asking the vot
ers to ward off attempts to loot the city treasury by electing the ticket
that each advocates.
These two newspapers are fine in
stitutions to be urging the voters to
watch the city treasury. The voters
ought to be watching these two
newspapers.
Both the Poet and Tribune have
been getting away with nearly $9,000
worth of city printing annually
Were this printing let in an honest
and economical way, by competitive
bidding, the taxpayers probably
would be saved the sum of $3,000 or
$4,000. And, worst of all the Tribune in raising one hand urging that Knotts be ousted does not hesitate to extend the other one to receive its share of the city printing, which he
permits to flow its way.

Daily Calumet, which urges that the trade at home policy be adopted
among local corporations and that
they buy of each other, also suggests
new possibilities for the Gary coke
ovens. This editorial states in part:
"The By-Product Coke Ovens have put into operation a plan which
promises to develop into a great busi
ness on the Calumet river and prove of splendid value to local iron and steel Industries. The Coke Ovens
turns out enormous quantities of coke every day and the local blast
furnaces consume even greater quan
titles of coke. To ship this material by rail from the coke ovens to local
industries has proven quite expen
sive and has frequently been accom
panied by delays. The Coke Ovens
plan which has just been put into
operation reduces the shipping costs
to the minimum and eliminates de
lays.
A tow barge specially constructed
with a carrying capacity of 500 tons
of coke, which can be speedily un
loaded by a special contrivance in
vented for that purpose, has been
placed in service on the Calume
river. This barge travels from the
Coke Ovens at One Hundred and
Twelfth street and the west bank of
the river to the Federal Furnace Company's plant. One Hundred and
Eighth street and the east bank of
the river. Here this coke can be
speedily unloaded and the cost of ship
ping is reduced to the very minimum. For several days this barge has been in operation and the plan has given
satisfaction far beyond expectations.
It has created interest among river
men and Industrial chiefs and they predict that it will assume more far reaching proportions. Other Iron industries are expected to follow the Federal Furnace Company and possib
ly the Illinois Steel Company will start a water express line of its own for transporting coke from the Gary ovens. "The idea is a good one and it

the community and advances us one
step. We hope that this advancement
will continue and that the new method of shipping coke will fulfill all predictions."
WAR AND FLIGHT. From every point of view the pro
gress of aviation is much more rapid
and extensive in Europe than it is in
America. The crowds drawn to race meetings are larger and such contests are far more numerous in France,
Germany, Great Britain and other countries of the old world. There is more progress in aviation feats of various kinds in Europe. The busi
ness of making flyng machines and airships is much larger there than It is here.
In great measure this difference is
the result of the abundant military and naval support for aviation in
Europe and the lack of such aid, on
a similar scale, in the United Staes.
The flying machines and the dirigible
balloons of Europe are like great war
eagles. A large part of them are
used by the armies and navies of
military powers. The rest can all be
depended upon in time of need, for
government service.
In the United States there is com
paratively little government aid for aviation. The buildng and use of flying machines and the airships has
relatively poor support from the pub
lic treasury. No such need is felt in
this country of keeping the entire
military equipment up to the minute
and of great extent.
Many times the arts and Industries
of peace have been advanced by war
and war preparations. In that fact is
found one of the arguments for vast
and costly military and naval estab
lishments. At present the develop'
ment of aviation present the develop
and most striking evidence of this
effect of war needs upon the condi
tions and progress of peaceful years
on fundamental business conditions. Oenerally speaking, he takes no chances. He does not dictate business conditions. He understands them. Many fundamental conditions are wrong, and Henry George knew what the worst one was; but the
point is that J. Plerpont understood
them, positively and definitely, and
advajjiee of what he understands.
The fundamental prerequisite to
success is a knowledge of conditions. Everything yields to the laws of cau3e and effect; but the very existence of
this exact science increases the poverty of those who do not understand and take advantage of it.
The new education is not classic.
It is scientific; and the successful man must get in line .through education.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED. . Once upon a time, says an ex
change, girls wore a heavy outer skirt, a cotton petticoat, a gingham
petticoat, a knitted petticoat, a flan
nel petticoat with home-made lace on
the bottom, and real wool for protec
tors. And she was always chilly and
suffered with rheumatism. Nowadays
she goes out attired in a hobble and a

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
The "unyielding relations of cause
and effect" are resognlzed today,
everywhere. "When superstition dominated the minds of men it was thought that Mrs. Bradbury died because Mary Dyer, the witch, had put a curse on her. Now we know, in a similar case, that it was because the sewerage in the back yard produced typhoid germs. When Patrick Henry was trained to be a farmer and fell down on the assignment, his neighbors thought him Incapable. Now we know that
the fault was with his training. Ho was by nature not a farmer.
Wthin the memory of half the people alive today it was popularly supposed that all soil was alike in its chemical properties; but the modern farmer knows how to get fifty per
cent more out of. his land than his grandfather did. Cost accounting, chemistry and engineering are changing the map of the world. It was once thought that" Rocke

HIGHER MEAT PRICES THIS WIN
TER.
Farm and Fireside contains in its current issue a page devoted to the market outlook, on which John P. Ross, a well known expert in such
matters, writes In part as follows:
"The United States Bureau of Animal Industry has already issued
words of warning as to the threaten ed exhaustion of our own meat-sup
ply, and has drawn attention to the
fact that the flocks and herds of the countries which we might have ex
pected to be able to help us out, and
especially those of Argentina, are so
generally infected with contagious
diseases that our Inspection rules, both with respect to live animals and dressed meats, will have to be rigdly
enforced. Under these circumstances those among us who have been able
to retain live stock, and have feed
stuffs sufficient to fatten them for
the fall and winter markets, are like
ly to profit by what must prove dls
astrous to so many who have been compelled to realize at a loss. All
this seems to point with certainty to
higher prices for all animal prod ucts."

James Whitcomb Riley and his birthplace at Greenfield, Ind.
WANT AX) IN rU9
THE birthday of James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, will be celebrated on October 7. The day will be recognized at many schools, libraries and literary club9 throughout the country. James Whitcomb Riley is known to many through his delightful verses, but only the few know of his early days of struggles, when he toured the country with a medicine show and later as an itinerant sign painter. He first became known in a literary way as editor of the Democrat, a small country daily published in the town of Anderson, Ind. While he was editing this paper he often wrote verses which he sent to the magazines. They invariably came back with polite rejection slips. Finally it occurred to hira that if he were to write something over a name already famous it would be received without question, regardless of its merits. To test it
he wrote a poem in the style of Edgar Allen Poe, under the title of "Ieoaainie." This was published in the Kokomo Dispatch of Kokomo, Ind., August 2, 1877, as a hitherto unpublished poem of Edgar Allen Poe. The story of the literary "find" went all over the country, to the leading newspapers and magazines. Article after article was written about the poem and many well-
known literary critics accepted it as
genuine. A Boston publishing house that was preparing a life of Poe besought the editor of the Kokomo Dispatch to send them the original manuscript of "Leonainie." Riley now realized that the joke was becoming too serious. So he admitted his own authorship. After that ; magazines were willing to acknowledge that he had some ability and accepted his verses.
