what might have happened had Gary

It really was. Of course, there would have been a better "city plan" as city planning like eugenics, is all the

Then perhaps Gary would have

Ex-Gov. Marshall would not have had so many worries.

THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT. Indiana democrats who have been

gurgling over the split in the republican party had better sober up their

sides. " " ' "' "

Opposition to Thomas Taggart the Indiana democratic boss and Senator E. F. Shively of Indiana which

promises, to split the Indiana democracy wide open was started at a meeting of prominent Indiana

democrats in South Bend headed by

Judge Lawrence eBcker of Hammond.

Mayor-elect McGill of Valparaiso and

Richard Kirby, president of the Indiana Democratic clubs. AH the

speakers denounced boss rule. Judge Becker declared that "con" double-

cross and lip service must end. Steps were taken to further, legislation whereby the present method of selecting committee chairmen from state, county and city be eliminated

so as to delay Ihelr selection until

after nominations are made. A bit

the Indiana democrats next month i3 promised by the insurgent democrats, and if T. Taggart gets Shively's senatorial toga he'll know that there are other parts of Indiana besides French Lick and Brown's casino.

THE DEAD AND THE 'DYING.

A statistician announces fourteen

dead and 175 hurt In this season's football game to date. We trust

that some cheerful soul about the

middle of January is keeping cases

and will furnish us with a list of deaths from Indigestion " during the period between Thanksgiving and

New Year's.

ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIG FARMS Outside of Birmingham, Ala., the

farm of Joseph O. Thompson Is locat

ed. It is said to be one of the largest in the world. It comprises 25,000 acres in the the famous Black Belt, which is considered the most fertile farm land to be fonnd anywhere.

If this farm were to be cut into city lota there would be 400,000, enough to build a city of 2,400,000 inhabitants, figuring six to each family. Two hundred miles of wire encloses the farm. It takes the man who inspects the fience five days to

ride around it on horseback.

To properly care for the farm 1,200 men are employed, who, with their families, make, a population larger than the average Alabama city. Two hundred and thirty ploughs are always In use. All the farm is not under cultivation. Just now only 6,000 acres are planted. In an ordinary season this

area yields 2,500 bales of cotton, 25,000 bushels of corn, 12,000 bushels of oats, 600 tons of hay, 500 tons of

alfalfa, and 18,000 gallons of syrup

Besides all this there are on the farm

ouu nead or cattle, and nearly as

many hogs. ,

Mr. Thompson la called the king

farmer of Alabama. There are cattlemen in the "West and in other

parts oi tne world wno own more

acres, but they are merely pastures

and not farms

POOR, CAROLINA.

Gov. Cole Blease, of South Caro

lina, pardoned 100 convicts yester-

ay. Twenty-eight of them were

serving life sentences for murder and

8 for manslaughter. "I want 'em

to eat Thanksgiving dinner at home," said the eminent demagogue!

who turned them loose. !

The 56 victims of these 56 man-

killers will not eat Thanksgiving dinner at home. -They will continue

to sleep in the deep sleep of the

grave. Even in South Carolina the dead do not vote, and have no voice

n the election of a United States

Senator.

Poor old South Carolina? She is

paying a terrible penalty for the political sins of a former generation.

JURY RELIEVES ELEVATOR HAS

The jury in the case of Amanda J

Ferry and George Bennett against Ben C Thomas returned a verdict for the

defendant .after Oeliberating only flf

ten minutes. The plaintiffs sought 3,

BOO for wheat stored in the Thomas

elevator when It burned at Columbu

about a year ago. Thomas had offered

the plaintiffs $612, the amount obtained

when the wheat was sold as salvage.

but the offer was rejected. The Jury'

verdict now deprives the plaintiffs of

the salvage money. SAKE BLOWERS ODTAIX $500.

Burglars entered tho stores of G. II. Hammerton and W. L. Wood and the poolroom of W. H. Meyers at Parr, obtaining $500 in cash and money orders from the safe in the Wood store. Wood is postmaster and $148 was government money. A small amount of money and merchandise was taken

from the other places.

NEWSPAPER A PERSONALITY. It might as well be admitted frankly that a newspaper is a personality rather than a common carrier of news; in fact, that it can not

be a common carrier of news because it would be swamped with its freight. All that can be expected of it is that it report the news honestly as a person of a certain attitude and viewpoint might a pervasive and extended person, but still a person. This conception of the newspaper may be verified in the experience of

any reader. Tne world seen oy tne New York Evening Journal la es-
