In every single department cf the government reductions are being made, tl' sum total of which is not known, but will surely be great. You ask what has congress dene? Well, I will tell you one thing it has done at least. The estimates for the carrying on of the government for the next fiscal year given to this congress lay the outgoing department heads of tne last administration, called for the total of very considerably more than five billion dollars. The appropriations committees cut down that sum by one billion four hundred fifty-three million dollars. Is that worth while? It may well be that such discoveries a the shipping board item above referred to may make some additional Appropriations necessary but if so, they were not included in the estimates referred to which, with them, would have been much larger. And it is also true that thi3 reduction has been made in spite of democratic opposition for it is true that a substantial majority of the democrats have in nearly every instance voted for greater appropriations than those provided. It has passed the budget law for which there has long been ereat dfmafrid. It has passed the Emergency Tariff Act. It has passed the new Immigration law.

Hart however, took a couple of innings to get going, due to an injured f.nger, and while he pitched air tight ball in the last few sessions, the damage had been done. Tangerman in the box for the do h-boys. pitched consistent ball. The longest hit of the game was made l.v Swenson, the banker's catcher. He lifter a long hit to the Monon tracks, and ambled merrily around the bases till he reached third, where he stuck. He was forced to stop at the third station to avoid tramping on his team mate.

During the day's trip the Savage sporting goods house of Gary took a panoramic group p. cure of the visitors and a glance over the first rrir.t which was turned out at midnight finds August holding down both ends of the picture. That leads to the question, how did August get in the picture twice.

The editors saw Bibles, works of science, fiction, and special editions in process of printing and assembling. The perfect ventilation, sanitation and the splendid system and order of the place equally impressed the visitors. The floor, walls and work benches were as spotless and well kept as the beautiful park which surrounds the big plant. There were souvenirs for the guests. H.OrMOXD'S SPLEXDID PAVEMEXT!! The strangers, riding in automobiles, furnished by Lake county republicans spoke admiringly of the well paved streets over which they passed in Hammond. They were not disappointed either in the concrete roads in East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Whiting and Gary. The oil refineries largest in the entire world the steel mills of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor and the immense plant of the Grasselli Chemical ! Company brought expressions of wond er. The caravan entered the Portland Cement works and each man passed under the great kilns and felt the Area of the furnaces against their cheeks. The trip through the Gary mills today was made on the special train provided for such occasions. The editors and officials were chaperoned by W. P. Gleason, general manager of the mills, and his assistants. They saw the coke plant, the blast furnaces, the open hearths and the rollir.gr mills. They could not make up their minds which was the most amazing. The rail mill perhaps fascinated them more than any other sight. They watched the white ingots of molten steel gobbled into the hungry mouths of the giant rollers and slide forth finished rails. . The trip through the mills left the editors exhausted. They had simply been awed to death and when they had reached the dunes this afternoon, they were as blase as the London hackman. EAT A X D BE MERRY Nor did the editors and the official party leave Lake county hungry when they crossed over into Porter county this afternoon on a special South Shore train, bound for Michigan City and an inspection of the penitentiary. They had been fed regularly and well without expense to them. They were the guests of Hammond republicans at breakfast in the Lyndora hotel yesterday morning, they dined at noon in the Presbyterian church in East Chicago and again at the Commerc.al Club of Gary. CABBVOES AXD GOVERXORS The editors talked of cabbages and governors over the dinner tables, commenting on the deliciousness of the cab bage and the quality of the gubernatorial booms, especially that of EJ. Jackson, secretary of state, who was present. The greater political s-ign'.Mcance of the event, however, was the launching of United States Senator Harry S. N'sw's candidaccy for re-election. Senator New was accorded an enthusiastic reception 8t the banquet last night when iio rofif an ndorofs in which he eulogized President Harding and the republican consress. The republican editors present were net inclined to accept the Albert J. Beveridge candidacy altogether seriously. In their conversation at the tables they said that Mr. Beveriflge was feeling out the sentiment in the state and that they did not believe he had definitely made up his mind to run for the United States Senate. They spoke highly however, of the ability of the d.stingulshed Indiana author, statesman and author. Gov. McCray's presence at the. banquet board could not be taken a, an endorsement of Senator New as asra'.n.'t Beveridge or of his support of Ej. Jackson as his successor in the state house for The reason that the occasion was ostensibly non-political. Senator New'! views e,n the cou-se of the administration at Washington were received with interest because of his close association with President Harding when the latter was in th senate and hit relationship with him as president. The senator called attention to the pass.i'-re of th- bud?er. bill and the efforts being made by 'he. administration to solve the economic problems of the day.
