THE TIMES has to ear a good word for Mayor-elect Johnson, of Gary, who has announced most of his appintmentB. It U quite evident that the new mayor intends to do everything in bis power to give the steel eity of 45,000 people the best administration possible'. Our first interest naturally turns to the police department. The police board is to be headed by Major K. M Burr, He is an ex-army officer and he continues to acquit himself in an executive capacity as superintendent of safety at the steel works. The selection is as good as could have been made. Pontus Heinta is the new chief of police. Mr. Heints served in the Swedish army and then joined the American cavalry and won laurels in the Indian campaign. He is known as a cool, resolute, and effl cient man and his previous training 1 In police work in three cities should stand him well. The conduct of the police depart ment with the board of public works will help to make or break the new administration and Major Burr and Chief Heintz have a big task in front of them; but we believe that they will fill their offices in a capable manner. Messrs. Hess, Zawadzki and String fellow compose the board of public works. All three are capable men. The Gary board of works transacts more business than any other In the state and there is much need for re reiorm in this department. It is notorious that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on Improvements where they haven't been needed and piratical contractors have been subjected to no serious checks on their work. Much will be expected of Mayor Johnson and his board of works and this department will be under the eyes of the whole state.The selection of George Manlove for comptroller means that there will be a man big enough to All the job should a vacancy in the mayoralty require that the comptroller, who in Indiana is a sort of vice-mayor, step into the executive office. Mr. Hodges' selection as head of the law department is well regarded for he has always had the interests of the city at heart and his standing as a lawyer Is unquestioned. In' his various other departments the new mayor has made appointments th at show that much study has been given to them but it is in the police and public works department that the people at home and those throughout the state will watch with interest during the next four years. LET the suffrage band wagon move on. Illinois women won't be required to tell their ages when they register. PREDICTS SUFFRAGE. President Wilson's statement that he is not at liberty to urge a woman suffrage amendment, tn tha tion until that amendment receives tne indorsement of his party puts the matter squarely up to the nex democratic national convention. We hope that gathering will take the rather plain hint says the Carroll County Times. Equal suffrage is coming. , It is as certain as death and taxes. Within a few years it is sure to be one of the

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.' I was the calm and aUeat night! Sevca hundred years and fifty-three Had Home been growing; up to might, And now waa queen of land and sea. Ma sound was heard of claahfaa- nam Peace broodril o'er the hushed domain t Apollo, Pallas, Jove, and Mara. Held undisturbed their ancient reign. In the solemn midalght. Centuries so.

In the solemn midnight. Centuries ago? Within that province far away Went ploddalfc home a weary boor; A streak of light before him lay. i-alien through a half-shut stable door Across his path.. He passed for naught Told what was going; on wit hint now keen the stars, his only thoughts The air how calm and cold and thin. In the soleotn midnight. Centuries ago! on, strange Indifference: low nnd high Drowsed aver common joys and caresi . rne earth was still but knew not whyi The world was listenlnK, unaware. How calm a moment may precede One that shall thrill the world for. ever! To that atlll moment none would heed, .man's doom was linked no mora to sever . Ia tha solemn midnight. Centuries ago! It Is the calm and solemn night! A thousand bells ring out, and throw Their Joyous peals abroad, and smite The darkness charmed and holy nowt Tha night that erst no name had worn, To It a happy name la given I For in that stable lay, new-born, Tha peaceful Prince of Earth and Heaven, la the solemn midnight, Centuriea ago! practical questions of the hours in many states, and perhaps in the nation itself. The party which tries to defeat this just nnd inevitable reform is doomed to a long season of retirement from power. MRS. Hetty Green says the secret of long life is a. clear conscience. thereby busting the old axiom that the good die young. - DOES Chairman McCombs mean that he couldn't afford to accept Ambassador Herrick's job even with the usual lecturing privilege? GRILLS OUR CONGRESSMAN. The iron has certainly entered in to the soul of Editor Babcock of the Jasper County Democrat. He was a candidate for tin postoffice at Rensse laer but was defeated. He refers to the coming convention of democrats in Hammond as follows: "Mr. Peterson has turned down the advice of democrats all over the district who would have been his f rlenda and the most far-seeing democrats all over the district say that he stands no more chance of being ro-elected to congress than a rabbit. He will lose the district by 6,000 votes, and perhaps more, if Murphy, who is drawing $500 per month from the taxpayers of Indiana as a member of the public utilities commission, and whose duties are semi-Judicial rather than wholly political, is to manage his campaign. "Therefore, as 'saltpeter won't save Peterson," why let the rest of our ticket be sacrificed at the whim of this would-be dictator and corporation lawyer from Crown Point! This Is a matter the delegates who go to Hammond next Monday should carefully consider pefore allowing the machine politicians to line them up and vote them like a lot of Hunkies." BEFORE we can believe the French artist that tells us who the two prettiest women in America are, we must have the assurance that he has Been all of them. GARY, ITS CHIEF ASSET. Under the caption of "A Business Man In Washington" tha Boston News Bureau cf December 19 dis cusses the steel corporation and some of its competitors and it points out the etragetic value of the great Gary steel works to the corporation. The News Bureau says: "Jones & Laughlin, with their 100,000,000. of capital and concen trated works iu Pittsburgh, ran 'laugh at the Steel Corporation. And Charles M. Schwab, the practical maker of steel, brought up as Mr. Carnegie's boy, has pushed the Steel Corporation almost out of some lines of manufacture by practical knowledge and progressive invention. The Steel Corporation, as an aggregation of plants from New England to California, was the great

New rulers aren't taking any chances these days. HCRRY UP WITH THAT CURRENCY BILL Dispatch from Arkansas states that natives are so short of money that they are using eggs In payment of all goods. ALTHOUGH Dunn and Bradstreet do not state it the world's production of New Year's resolutions exceeds that of all previous years. PRESIDENT Wilson gave out J 00 turkeys for Christmas. Hope that he remembered that unfortunate sufferer from the hight cost of living, our yodeling secretary of state. MICHIGAN man returned 11 to railroad, having once beat his way. Lord knowa the railroads need all the dollars they can get. ILLINOIS hogs are paying oft farm mortgages. Association of automobile dealers should honor the hog by erecting bronze statue to their benefaetor. SIX lew comets have been discovered this year, joyfully announce the scientists. Hope that they haven't mistaken the new Indiana Harbor coke ovens for one of them. giant with feet of clay. Its body was partly water. Fortunately, however. for the stockholders, its head was level. Its practical bankers and steel workers saw the Corporation from the beginning had got to fight for its life. With $500,000,900 new capital and surplus earnings (a sum greater than that for which its common and preferred stock Is now quoted in the market) it built and rebuilt its plants, opened foreign markets even into Russia, and became the greater exporter of steel, with the highest efficiency and the lowest costs. Judge Gary now declares that the tariff is no concern of the Steel Corporation. The Gary shop that giant plant at Chicago not the original trust organization, can now compete with the world. "When p. man buys out his com petitors to cover his inefficiency, his troubles begin. And those troubles are not so much with the Sherman law as with his own efficiency. He may become a giant in his trade, but he must quickly solidify his watered body, for his feet of clay begin to melt from the day of his trust organization. The trust can no longer walk or run. It can sit down. And this In safety only on the most centralized organization, upholstered with the most efficient cost sheets." "A BLACKSMITH Is taking a leading role in a grand opera being produced In Germany." Let Ua hope he Is one of the blacksmiths who have been singing on the American stage and that he won't come back. LET 'EM FIGHT. We see that a couple of lawyers called each other liars and challenged one the other to a duel in City Hall Park in New York. Anything doing? No such luck. We move that at any time a couple of lawyers want to fight they be turn ed loose on a prairie, handed bladders filled with dynamite and chloride of lime and comnpiipH tn wallop to a finish. IF it is true that Huerta is draft ing women into his army, it will probably be wise for Mrs. Pankhur6t to remain on the other side of the Atlantic. HIST, DON'T DO THAT! The Indianapolis City Council has' passed an ordinance requiring the . presence of a dance matron, appoint ed by the Chief of Police, at every dance ,both public and private, given in the city after December 18. Aldermen of a city the Mayor of which resigned to do into vaudeville might be expected to do some such fool thing, but it is hoped for their own sakes the police won't try to en force such an ordinance at any private dance. The man who would draft such a measure should be held responsible for damage suits, assaults or even worse growing out of it. If grandma can't dance the minuet at a private party "given by the young

MATTER OF REGRET. It will undoubtedly be noted with keen regret that President Wilson has determined to reprimand officers of the army and nary for tha Carabao song incident. The rebuke from Secretary of the Navy Daniels was bad enough with put the commander in chief of the united services taking It up. There was even less exeuse for noticing the matter at all than there was for taking up the gallant Captain Coghlan's recitation of "Me und Gott which concerned a foreign power. Official interference with the mess table spirit is to be deplored. HOW many of the class in history can tell who was vice president when Rooeevelt presided over the White House? "KAISER Wilhelra has sold his schooner." Germany gone dry, too? VOICE OF PEOPLE CRUEL TREATMENT OF DOGS. East Chicago. Dec 27. Editor Times: The most ferocious cruelty connected with the execution of the order of death by the East Chicago police is unparallfled in the . practices of other cities as large or even smaller than East chig. Th followSag example occurred this week and being truth fully related It Is hoped to arouse a sentiment in favor of a more humane treatment of tha canine population. The dog's crime was in biting a boy. Mall carriers, paper boys, delivery boys of all kinds testify that such la a frequent occurrenco and no serious consequences follow, only In rare cases. The owners are not requested to shoot their pets. However malicious that waa uppermost Instead of humanity, Be that as It may a dog is man's best friend, playmate of his children, guardian of the home. If he bites it Is because he feels he is doing his duty In protecting his home and those In It who feeds, shelters and protects him. When complaint was made of the dog's bite his life was immediately demanded. The owners being very fond of him tried in every way to amend for his Indiscretion, paid damages de manded for the torn clothing. Thinking to do justice to both pet and com plainant the owner gave the dog away, but true to Instinct he came horn each time. Well knowing tho fate awaiting him should he bedelivered for execution to our police, ha was nept safe at home and arrangements made to dispose of him out of town. In the meantime, one of our oldest most respected of citizens, Judge Cheney, was consulted, who advised the owner w&a acting within tho law and her rights as a citizen, in keeping him in the house and protecting him and her children from knowledge of such cruelty. However, while the owner was gone on this errand, a number of East Chicago police descended at night upon the household. Outsiders snatched ' hia collar from

the child's protectlns hand and gave him up. These police fired as they came out tha front door. Leaving a pool of blood upon our steps. Darting

away to the bushes we thought he was gone away to die. However. In the morning ha was found wounded in the basement, the luster of eye dimmed and suffering. The police were called up to come and put him out of his misery. They sent a man, he was begged to take him off the premises, away so the children should not hear the shots. He would not listen, but scare a stone's throw away he was tld and two shots fired at him. Breaking away he came back to ua for shelter. Then the 11-year-old boy was called to tie him and lead him away, while our policeman had his gun in readiness.. Three times It was done. Finally he went away for help. Two of them finally succeeded in chaining him, led him away before our children, agonized and crying, the dog looking back 4n entrety and farewell to them. Tying him back of the freight station he was riddled with bullets, shot after shot In not vital hpot, his legs, l-rsa.it and body were torn In dozens of places. There our pet was left in full sight of passing school children to see his agonies. Before we ?ould claim and bury his body, as befitted a worthy playmate, companion and friend, he was carted away to be disposed of as garbage. It is time that people of humane instincts be aroused to this state of af fairs. Every dog-lover will appreciate the cruel injustice of owners being de nied the privilege of having dogs killed oy a painless chloroform method. A committee should be appointed to see that such atrocities should not be committed. . The law is first Just, merci ful and such treatment of subjects Is neither, when interpreted by two poliecemen. The owner only begged to have him Killed painlessly and out of sight of children and homo after having ex hausted every means to save his life from this fiendish cruelty. Ha was not a vicious animal, but playmate, friend and companion in our home. The mat ter will be reported to both tha county and state Humane societies, and If our policemen who have Influence, can not see to It that our children are spared such sights, and our pets saved from such a fate, then these organlza tlons can take the matter in hand and protect them if need be. ELEANOR M. CKE5WELU 4617 Tod avenue. TELLS OP ACCIDESTT. Hammond, Ind.. Deo. 26. Editor Times: I see by last Wednesday's edition of Thb Times an article denouncing the careless practice of auto drivers pass Ing street cars while stopping to let passengers on or off cars. If referring to me or to accident of last Monday, he is grossly mistaken. Ever since ordinance was pased by city council regarding stopping of vehicles to let passengers on or off street cars I have made a practice of stopping machine within reasonable distance of car and waiting until car is again in motion. Speaking of last Monday's accident I can truly say it could not he aroided by ma or Mr. Gates. The injured federal employ of the distillery got off the street car while it was still In motion and I have witnesses who can testify to that effect, and furthermore I have found out that employes of tha dis tillery have a habit of alighting from cars while ia motion at that point, while cars slow down coming off of tha switch which is oposlte tha distillery gate, instead of waiting for cars to come to a full stop at railway crossing fifty or one hundred feet away. I brought the machine to a full stop within ten or twtlve feet after the machine struck Mr. Gates and then my helper got off the machine and ran back and picked up the Injured man before the street car came to a full step. To my estimation accidents could be avoided more easily If pedestrians would watch their step, as Is shown In the case of Mr. Gates, walked right into tha side of tha machine, as it was the pie bo on the side of the machine .which struck the Injured man. But It ' Is a very easy matter to blame It on an auto driver and say it Is carelessness on his part. I ARTHUR H. WUNSCHEL. Popular Actress Now in Chicago '2 f tl;

I A LETTER FROM MR. WOODS. ! Crown Point, Ind., Dec. 2. Editor Tiuls: Yours of the 22 headed, 'The Patterson Fiasco" Is very nicely gotten up as far as Mr. Patterson's interests are concerned. Judge Greenlee Is not Infallible and it waa th ntnin .

good many that It was a foregone conclusion what the verdict would be after Judge Tuthlll was not able to try tho case, and Judge McMahan selected two out of the three Judges In Lake county for the opposing lawyers to strike off one which waa sure to leave a Lake county judge to try the case. When in the first selection of the three Judges Judge McMahan agreed not to name a Judge a resident of Lake county. Some Influence or something must have come tip, "circumstances alter cases." Those that are In a position to know v t..t only Patterson's law enforcement ts rotten hut there is a whole lot nf nth.rottenness in Lake county that would not smell t -od if,! was stirred up. I know Grecnwald and his deputy Ralph Ross did not pretend to enforce the law where it suited them f to do so. And those that are In a position to know say the prosecutor's office ia getting worse and worse, and everyone knows where tho law ts not enforced. Wherever there is graft there la high taxea and corruption. I think Mr. Editor before we get through with Mr. Patterson a caao you will find he is not an Innocent victim of muckraking and mud-slinglng. And the chances are he will not be the only , one. very respectfully yours, SAM B. WOODS. Motions and Orders Entries Room 1. 9744 Arthur W. McGovney. truatee vs. Saarah Steenberg. Defendant !
