See that Tom Knotts, the mayor, has caused to be filed with the state utilities commission a complaint that the rates of the gag, water and electric company at Gary are too high. This concern is owned by the Eteel trust. Evidently Tom la making good In his efforts to get back at the "big interests' because of his defeat for re-election. But it was Tom, as the whole town board then frendly to the steel trust who gave to it its present fifty-year franchse. But time changes all things. NATURALLY the controller has to find the per capita currency before Christmas if at all. EX-MAYOR Shank should put in his monologue a word of warning to all mayors on the. danger of harboring street railroads. PESTS. Hardly a week goes by unless the slumbers of some sections of this country aren't disturbed by unnecessary muffler and engine noises. This is a form of a nuisance that the police should euppresa by arresting the drunken joy riders no autoist3 who are sober do these things late at night. The other night at Gary an auto load of drunken joy riders awakened hundreds of people from their sleep. Five minutes later an auto dashed In to a Wabash freight train. Whether this was the same car or not is now known but the three men and two girls In It had a narrow escape. If the auto was the same that cut the capers five minutes before the occupants could hold no one responsible had they met with death or Injury. It Is not always the railroad that is at fault In night grade crossing ac cidents that wipe out autoists. In most cases it is a combination of whiskey and gasoline. NEW Yorkers are so afraid of be ing Imposed upon that they refuse to believe anybody, even if lie says he has committed murder. IF the Utah bandit doesn't sue cumb to dynamite, they might try liberating a germ-laden house fly in the mine. THE INDIANAPOLIS STRIKE. People at a distance from Indi anapolis cannot have a good opinion as to the right or wrong of the demands of Indianapolis striking teamsters for more wages, because they cannot know all the facts says the Plymouth Republican. It is of little benefit, therefore, for us here to discuss that phase of the problem which has set our state capital in an ujproar, and bids to keen It

No headlines like that during the Taft administration. TO all Intents and purposes President Huerta cares about as much for a Wilson ultimatum as he does for grape juice. A NTIOI! i HI A N TJT-VIVT A flTXTS THROUGH EARLY NEWSPAPER FILES HAS DISCOVERED THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS AN ADVERTISER. EXPLAINS WHY GEORGE WAS SO SUCCESSFUL IN LI FE. NO, John, it does not necessarily follow that a public utilities commission renders useful services to the public. TEXAS dispatch states that express train went alona; the border with armed guards on the engine pilot. Must have had consignment of fresh eggs on board. CINCINNATI'S water supply is shut ofT.

Robert Loaf Stevenson. so for some months and perhaps years. But we can understand the general status of the situation, and so watch the developments with more interest and intelligence than is used by the ordinary onlooker. The basis of the matter seems to be, according to those who have been there, that Indianapolis is one of the few big cities of the country which has never been organized by the federation of labor, and has been more than any other city what is called an "open town." The federation of labor has evi dently set out to unionize Indianapolis, and the beginning of this work resulted in the street car strike. The basis of the opposition i3 the opposition to the unionizing of the industries of the city. Labor is de termined to form unions in all lines of business in Indianapolis nd em ployers, generally speaking, are determined they shall not do this. The pity of it is that both sides could not get together in a spirit of fairness and each grant the other such rights as are generally considered due them. But perhaps this will not be done, and the result will be that Indianapolis will be rent by frequent strikes for some years to come, until all lines of Industry are unionized. It is inevitable that each side must give up some of Its cherished ideas. But they probably will not give them up until after a bitter struggle of years. How much better 1 would be if both could see far enough to give and take to the right distance, and so save both themselves and the general public a large expense of labor, worry and treasure. FRANCISCO Villa can boast that he was the man of the hour in Mexico for at least fifty-nine minutes, anyway. HARD TIMES AFFECTING BERLIN. The slackness which has long been acute in Berlin, Germany, in the building trades, is manifesting Itself in other industrios. Usually at this season the department stores and

STORY comes out of New Jersey about girl being drugged by use of poisoned needle. Evidently Jack the clipper has given place to Jack the jabber. HARD TIMES FOR LAWYERS. Government may curb trusts without resorting to law suits. Why not try cretar5r Bryan's peace policies? SOME talk of making autos so that they can't run more than twenty miles an hour. This would necessitate moving all of the factories to Philadelphia. NOTE that Judge Reiter in Lake superior court has ordered a separation in the Ireland divorce case. English cabinet mlnht engage the judge to tackle the Ulster problem. WASHINGTON housewivae, including several cabinet women, have quit using eggs. Mercy! Getting things to wear to attend the Wilson wedding must have put a big crimp in many pocket books. READ in The Times that Judge Huber of Gary, has tried 5,000 cases In past five years. Hennery Coldbottle suggests that the court might find a satisfactory case brand by trying some of the keg variety. other shops put on extra helpers in 'anticipation of the holiday trade. ,'This year, however, one of the big!gest department store managers is 'doubtful whether it will be necessary to hire more than half the usual number of extra employes for Christmas. The city of Breslau has just established a municipal fund to be lent on first mortgages to encourage building. Whether this will help remains to be seen. It has been most difficult for several months to borrow money on even gilt-edge first mortgages, and it may be too late in view of the general business situation to hope that building can be notceably stimulated at this time. J ' r HUERTA is putting some of the deposed Mexican lawmakers back on the active list. But he can't put Madero back on the active list. AND don't forget to do your Red Cross stamping early. WHEN TARIFF REFORM FAILS. A tailor came into the Star office in Marlon, Ohio the" other day and wanted to talk clothes, and says the editor, "We were interested, because we wanted a practical lesson in tariff reform. Knowin? that the Underwood bill had taken the tariff off wool, the so-called raw material for desirable fabrics from which men's clothes are "made, and knowing the duty had been considerably reduced on the finished fabrics, we rather expected him to quote lower prices on his garments." "No, there are no reductions of the prices. Imported clothes are a trifle cheaper in some instances than heretofore, in others not a cent cheaper, because the English makers have advanced their price and added to their profits what the lowered duty saves them. We have some patterns which 'cost us one to two dollars less, but It is not big enough to be taken into account In retailing. We have added to it our profit, but try to give our customer a trifle better suit of clothes." . There you are. We have taken the revenue from this government and given It to the foreign manufacturer, and gained nothing for the American !consumer. The only consolation wa can get Is that where no advantage is gained we are less likely to hamper our own manufacturers. It was the very same thing with shoes, when the Payne bill took off the tariff on hides, and reduced the tariff on leather and shoes. The farmer sustained a loss on hides, and there was a saving of an average of six cents a pair on shoes, but the saving was too trivial for any buyer of shoes to get a cheapened price. PRESIDENT Wilson is justified in denying that he bosses congress. He merely makes suggestions to It and sees that they are carried out. IF anybody has the ability to make a dozen eggs look like thirty cents, now is the time for him to come forward. PROBABLY Huerta wouldn't recognize the last ditch if there was a sign over It.

LIFE JUST ONE Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, wife of the vice president, has enlisted In the fight which WashinRton women are waging against hlph-priced egrgs. She- declares herself in perfect sympathy with the movement ' to reduce prices by boycotting, and suggests that federal legislation similar to that recently adopted by the state of Indiana relative to cold storage products be enacted. News Dispatch. Whenever Thomas stops talkine long enough to get his breath the missus steps in. AN early frost seem3 to have ninped the express melon crop. THIRTY-BUTTON boots are coming from Paris. But cheer up; probably man will not be called upon'to button them. WATERWAY WORK. The patchwork appropriations for river and harbor work in Lake county has often been criticized by men who see nothing but folly In the way the government is going about the work. Like conditions obtain 'elsewhere. The Cincinnati American says: "The methods employed by the United States government in the improvement of the Ohio river shows signs of senility on the part of those responsible. If a man were going to build a house and went about it by buying a lot, waiting four or five years; paying taxes and losing the Interest on his money; then excavating for a cellar; letting that stand four or five years after which he would have to excavate again then building a foundation, letting that stand some years; repairing it, and then putting up the brick work and letting that stand for a period, by the time the house wa:i finished, if ever, it would be ready to fall down, worn out by age. So it is with Ohio river Improvement, represented In dams and locks. Those !n charge build one and then wait for years before building another, meanwhile maintaining the ones already built at a heavy expense. The sane way would be to plan every dam and lock necessary for a nine-foot stage and to let contracts for the whole system. If this method had been employed at the outset, we could have had a ninefoot stage by the time of the completion of the Panama canal and a revival of business on the Ohio would be in sight. How can congress and those in charge of this work explain this piecemeal and . amateurisn method? As In the case of most public works, there is a colored gentle man in the woodpile. 'Every year delegations go to Washington to urge the completion of imprvements with the same result. Nothing is accomplished except that more promises are obtained and in some eases further Improvement of the penny-wise-and-pound-foolish variety follows." CHAIXS KGIES TO TRACK. Inspector M. J. Mier, a representative of the Interstate Commerce Commission, arrived at Bedford yesterday morning, and within fifteen minutes after his arrival had condemned and chained to the track eight of the nine engines employed by the Monon In Bedford. One passenger train was delayed three hours waiting for an engine from the McDoel shops at Bloomlngton, and Bedford freight and switching service Is paralyzed.

UP AND DOWN IN I-N-D-I-A-N-A GLASS PLAXT TO BE SOLD. The plant of the Penn American Plate Glass Company at Alexandria, which cost more than $1,000,000 and which was the backbone of Industry in that town, will be offered for sal a by the Farmers Trust Company of Alexandria Saturday at an appraised price of J200.000, or less than one-fifth of the cost. The bonded debt of the company is said to exceed 1750,000, and the bondholders are the only creditors. It is said that the bonds sold at par. It is reported that Pittsburgh capitalists have their eyes on the mammoth plant. USE DYNAMITE TO BREAK SOIl. A series of experiments In Ehootinjr farms with, dynamite for opening up the subsoil Id being conducted In Gibson County by Agent Marshall. Two "shootings' have already ,ben made, the first on the farm of William Rouen, of near Oakland City, and the second on the farm of John Meade, near Francisco, east of Princeton. In each instance 100 sticks of dynamite were placed on an acre of ground and exploded. The explosions are said to have opened up the subsoil to a great depth, thereby assuring better drainage and better root penetration, DROPS CCS, IS KILLED, Coroner F. R. Maxwell yesterday rendered a verdict of accidental death in the case of Andrew Bolles, 22 years old, of Martinsville, who late Monday night was killed by the discharge of his shotgun. Boiles had been hunting with his brother Walter, and tba two became separated. Late at nifht, when he did not raturn, a search was mada and his body was found beside a stump. It Is thought h dropped his shotgun and the hammer struck the stump, discharging the gun and instantly killing him. MEET IS 43RD SESSION. The Forty-third session of the Indiana State Grange opened at Madison yesterday afternoon with speeches of welcome and irreetings by Mayor-elect Crosier, Senator McGregor of ths Commercial Club and Donald Duahane, principal of the Madison schools. Aaron ! Jones, master of the State Grange, re- ' sponded with a lengthy address. There was music by a men's double quartet, and the visitors were given the free dom of the city. The election of officers will bo held today. ORDERS LOXG PECKS" HELD. Holding that a tall peck measure holding an equal number of cubic inches In as lawful as a "squat" one when used to measure potatoes. Acting Judge Kahn yesterday at Evansville released Ernest McGregor on a charge of giving Bhort weights. State Inspector Barnard later ordered City Sealer Wailenmeyer to disregard the ruling, seize all such measures and hold them as "evidence for future prosecutions. VOICE OF THIS PEOPLE WARXS PROSPECTIVE TRAVELERS. Hammond, Dec. 10. When is an emigrant not an emigrant? Editor Times: For the benefit of your Lake county readers who may decide to make a trip to England I will give my personal experience. 1. On boarding tender at Liverpool to board the liner wa ara examined by a doctor (hat off) then as soon as we are aboard we are at the mercy of every employee Irom Dick Scrubber up- Even the stewards roar at you as though you were so many cattle. On arriving at quarantine we are all ordered below and it you don't make a great effort to get ther (irrespective of the motley crowd who may precede you) you ar pushed and yelled at as though the English language was known to none but themselves. Then we walk lit line very slowly (hat off) before another doctor and no matter if your previous vaccln-

We wen then put off in kind of barge (not even ferry boat) and towed to Ellis Island which trip took from 11:09 a. m. till 2:30 p. m., huddled up In scarce breathing room then hat oft again and examined by another doctor. Then you have to show 25 dollars or more and you can land. Now I have erossed to my home eight or nine times during my stay in Hammond and have always travelled second cabin, but was advised to try third on a certain liner which was very comfortable going to England, so I secured a return on ; same liner, to my sorrow. I would not travel again from England If fare was free and undergo the Indignities and witness such disgusting sights third class, as I have witnessed. A second

cabin, passenger Is exempt from all the third has to undergo and. can land in New York Immediately on arrival, even if he na sot a eent In his pocket.. A third cannot land if be has a thousand dollars. So the answer to headline fs when a man can pay $20 more than a third class passenger. Third class, ,137,50, 'dog's lifei second cabin.
