It is a disgrace to the state," etc., etc. Oary Kvening Post. We wonder what the good people of Gary think of the Post? Wonder what the Commercial club thinks of the Post? What do the business men of Gary think of the cheerful news of Gary that the Post 1 spreading broadcast and which out-of-town newspapers are copying from its columns? The Post is the newspaper which in the satne issue as carried the above accused THE TIMKS of "attacking" Gary. Whaddja mean, "attacking"?
OUR VULNERAB LE POSITION. This paper does not propose, even though it accepts the result of the election with resignation, to sit by idly and view the present inflated prosperity with equanimity. What existed before election exists today. We would be recreant to our duty to the public if we were silent. We all live too much in the present. While economist's here and there are urging the United States to take thought of the morrow, the nation is rushing headlong to new high peaks of consumption, production and extravagance. Many accept prosperity as an inherent right which needs no safeguards. The war has given us advantages which too many people will not admit peace can take away. Prices are so high that cost accounting systems -re thrown overboard. What matters an increase of 30 per cent in the expenses of production when the buyers are paying perhaps I'M) per cent more? The Annalist points out that Europe will not always be at war, and when peace returns the nations' now out of the running will again be competitors tor the trade that the United States has almost monopolized. They will have every incentive to produce as cheaply as possible in order to export to the last penny what is not absolutely required at home. The loss of men in battle, terrible as it has been, may not seriously lessen the output of field and factory, for women have been recruited to take the places of men. ana industry is co-ordinated as never before. Our trade balance in September was $348,719,000, but two years ago it was only $1(5.341,000 and for the five months preceding that September we imported more than we exported. It is folly to believe that we can permanently- hold any considerable portion of our present wonderful foreign trade unless we prepare to meet the situation that will confront us within a very few years, and possibly within a few months, after the end of the great war.

MYRTLE STEDMAN, MOROSCO-PALLAS STAR IN PARAMOUNT PICTURES. "It was a long time before 1 could really decide in ray own mind whether I would continue in motion pictures instead of retumintr to crand opera," remarked Myrtle StMman a few days ago. "But I realize that my fort and stronghold with the American people is in pictures, where, while in Paramount Pictures, I can Ie seen by over twenty million people each, wot it, wane iu opera, but a few thousand

THE MAN WITH A DIRTY FACE. What a great old world to live in it would be if we all were only halfway considerate of our brethren. We don't mean blood brethren or lodge brethren, but our fellow man. To illustrate: A man with dirty face and hands, shirt soaked with perspiration, stopped, laid down his dinner ' bucket, rolled a broken knuckle out of the pathway between the tracks, put it close up against the ends of the ties where no one could stumble over it, picked up his dinner bucket and plodded home. Over fifty other employes had preceded this man, each one carefully picking his way around the obstruction. We asked this man why he took the trouble to roll the knuckle out of the pathway. He seemed surprised at such a question, rubbe'd his hand across his. face and said: "'Why, some of the boys might get a bad fall if that knuckle was there after dark."' We said: "All the other men passed it by." and he replied: "Oh. they're all good boys, they'd have done the same thing if they'd thought about it." He said something, didn't he? "If they'd thought about it.'' Ah, yes, "if ihey'd thought about it."
will mean that industries that cannot afford concrete docks or lliet do
care to go to this unnecessary expense- will locate elsewhere or move. Will some power deliver us from the fool legislation of the last ten to fifteen years by means of which industrial growth in the Calumet regio:i in Chicago has been brought almost to a standstill? Only the largest and strongest corporations can withstand this legislative . strangling. Buckle
I shows that every great reform in the world has come by repealing bad laws.

HENRYK SIENKIEWICZ. Author Sienkiewicz, who died in Switzerland, will be counted among the illustrious dead of 1916. Sienkiewicz was a great man, his works being a contribution to Polish as well aa world literature. He possessed a beautiful mind, for none but a beautiful mind could have given us "CJuo Vadis?" A noble work, familiar to all America in book, on the stage, and forming a grand drama for the motion picture screen, it is one of the sweetest, stories of eStrly Christianity. Yet if Sienkiewicz could weave a delicate plot of the order of "Quo Vadis?" he was not lacking in graphically describing sanguine events as told in his trilogy 'Tan Michael," "The Deluge." and "With Fire and Sword." The three volumes skillfully delineate all the passions of men given over to war. and even Sienkiewicz probably never dreamed that the bloody deeds of darkened times of a few hundred years ago would be ire-enacted in more fearful form in a modern world war. Sienkiew icz's passing is a loss to all humanity, but lie has left us a noble heritage. May the author of "Quo Vadis?" rest in that happy land where dwells our own Lew Wallace, who found in "Ben-Hur" a moan ; also of making us love the early Christians.

DRIVING INDUSTRIES OUT OF THE STATE. As a result of the hostile attitude of the city administration when Dunne was mayor, the l.'. S. Steel Corporation was driven out of the state to attain expansion. Arbitrary, exorbitant and prohibitive "compensation" and, other forms of tariff and restriction as to street and alley vacations, switch track charges and other impositions have been responsible for alienating over 5100,000,000 worth of industrial investment from the Calumet region m Illinois. This section does nut envy Northern Indiana its suit-ess. As a friend Hisd neighbor we rejoice in this development and advise our officials to pur-
