Especial to Lake County Times,

Gary Ind, Dec. 91.-Gary has be-
come the victim Of another man from
where?" who simply blew in as
sumed the reins of leadership and then
ducked out with a nice roll of Gary
money and self-esteem in his posses
sion.
w. G. Loughead became a Gary citi-
zen some time ago and at once made
it his speciality to become a member Of
every secret organization in the city.
lie was member of six organizations,
associations. and lodges in Gary.
Among the orders he joined were the
odd Fellows, the knights OF Pythias.
the Masons. the Eagles. and the Mac
cabees. Loughead, who is now known
by his brothers as "Longhead." in
gratiated himself into the friendship of
the Odd Fellows in Gary and was soon
made financial secretary.
Trusted With Lodge Funds.
IN this capacity he was given the
custody of considerable money and at
the time OF his leaving Gary he had
$40 of the funds belonging to the
odd Fellows in his possession.
Whether or not he intends to re-
turn is not known for certainty.
The fact of his disappearance" in
It's commonly accepted sense, is denied
at the local police headquarters, but
1t is generally known about town that
the odd Fellows would feel a great
deal more comfortable If they had that
$40 in their possession.
Loughead was the chairman of the
committee which had been appointed
by the Eagles to make arrangements
for the New Years dance, but he did
not have any OF the Eagles funds in
his possession at the TIME Of his dis
appearance.
1t is understood that bills bearing
the picture of the fugitive will be
printed and that they will be sent
broadcast over the country. In this
manner it is hoped to locate the al
legged defaulter and cause his arrest

nation all Prepared-Neglect

Gary, Ind, Dec 31.-Some surprise
was occasioned this morning by the
announcement that officer Louis Jen-
kins of the local police force had sud
denly disappeared from Gary for Okla
homa. leaving debts aggregating 500
which had not been paid
officer Jenkins wanted to attend a
dance Christmas eve at East Chicago
and applied TO Chief OF Police Martin
for permission to leave his post and
attend the function.
The chief told the officer that he did
not see how he could spare him. but
officer Jenkins went to the dance just
the same and was scheduled for dis
missal
Chief Martin had the papers calling
for Jenkins resignation all made out
and was about to send them to him
when he heard that Jenkins had left
for Oklahoma and would not be In Gary
again.
Suspended Once Before
Some time ago officer Jenkins and
another officer were suspended for neg
lect of duty. At this time Chief Mar
tin decided to give Jenkins another
chance and so the matter of his suspen-
sion was hushed up. but this time the
chief had determined to get rid of Jen-
kins, and only the fact OF his volun-
tary flight by night saved him from
preemptory discharge.
officer Jenkins. however in some re-
spect was one of the best men on po-
lice force. He was cool and had un-
/ limited nerve. He once got into q
! fight with a man who was half negro
and half Indian, and although the half
breed flashed revolver and threatened
to shoot the first man that touched
i him., officer Jenkins went up TO hin
and took his gun away.
Jenkins came from East Chicag,
where he was cmployoa IN tho post
office He was the third man to b,
j taken on the Gary for-e and was vel
liked by all his fellow officers.

A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION.

a NEW YEARS RESOLUTION.
BY ARTHUR J. BURDICK.
l resolve = now, let me see:
From what things should I be free?
How can I improve my ways,
Better occupy my days2
To what heights shall I aspire,
What cut out and what acquire,
Virtues don and vices doff,
What resolve and what swear Off"
Let me look back Ger the past:
Did my resolutions last?
Did the things I put away
In their Punishment long stay?
Are my vices hard to find?
Are my faults left far behind?
Did vanquish any i'll,
Or are all here with me still?
And the good that I would do
Did the dream of it come true?
Did I diligence acquire?
Did l mount a little higher?
Did l Straighter walk the road?
Did l braver bear my load?
DID speak more words of cheer
For the vows took last year?
New Years day is now at hand;
Habit, custom, make demand.
Resolution, visage grim,
Says I now must treat with him.
Now, what tribute shall I pay?
What VOWS offer him this day?
Sacrifices pains involve;
l resolve to-not resolve.

If you are a union man at heart
you will never say that you are 60
ing to quit the union because you
have a grievance against some men,
Der, or because you do not like the
action of the union on some particu-
lar matter" This is good logic. The
true unionism that is in you, If there
be any, will be proven by your ability
and willingness to accept in a man
full way the will of the majority and
III accepting that will as your own.
Grumbling and knocking" will not
serve your purpose in this world, nor
will it accomplish your end if good
results are desired, and most GER
tainly those are the results for which
we all must strive. Stand by your
union in the midst of adversely as
we'll as of prosperity. This is the true
moral courage.

UNIONS LESSEN POVERTY.

The trades-union is engaged in a
of the factory and to get i. into the
school, to secure decent living wages
for both men and women and reason
able hours OF toll. If the influence ex-
erted by organized labor during the
last so years were to be eliminated q
picture Of poverty and moral degrada-
ton would be presented such as the
world has never witnessed.
The trades-union is the only institu-
ton Oh earth that is ceaselessly and
ever contending for better conditions,
that stands for living wage that
shall enable a man to maintain cred
liable home, to bring up his children
and educate them into honest, moral
men and women and useful citizens Of
the commonwealth.
The future of the continent is bound
up in the perpetual struggle for better
wages and improved conditions, for on
the success of trades unions in MAIN
tanning a high standard of wages de-
pend both the moral and material well
fare of society and the perpeiuation Of
the home itself. The hope Of the ma
ton is bound up in the progress of the
producing class, and any retrograde
step would mean a moral disaster too
fearful to contemplate.
Society as whole should awaken to
the fact Of the great work that organ
lied labor has accomplished in the past
and aims to accomplish in the future
1t is the one institution that has stood
boldly for true righteousness, the
moral uplifting Of the masses and the
perpetuation of the real home.
The hope Of the future rests not in
the hands of the licentious rich, but on
the wage-earning class, and in the or
CARNATIONS Of labor, that work for
such conditions as shall guarantee the
toilers competency, thus insuring
their moral welfare and the perpetu-
alton of the home.
