Chicago, the Big.

Chicago is giving the country its
annual boast about its population.
This time the total is 1867 900, an in
crease in year of 66,5O0; this ac-
cording to the directory" 1t is all
very childish, this delight in mere
bigness. Most American cities man
ifest it, but no other, we believe,
quite SO badly as Chicago. And it
seems to grow by what it feeds on.
Like the miser's store, the greater it
grows the more it is loved; in direct
proportion to its needlessness the
more it is cherished Up TO a certain
point town may strenuously desire
growth with good grace, for until a
certain size is reached many things
that make city life attractive and con-
fer distinction are not to be had but
after a certain size is reached, growth
is mere accretion in bulk, but not vir-
tue. Mere bulk simply adds to the
problems that city must deal with.
But with the big Town by the lake
there is nothing but ffilarity at in
creasing numbers such as child dis
plays at new toy.
One can not imagine New York or
London or Paris or Berlin or any
the old and established cities gloat-
ing in such wise over increase. of
population. Such knowledge brings
to them increase of sorrow, for they
realize the responsibility that it
means. The difference in the cases
show that Chicago is really not yet
city-only the raw material of
city. For all its bulk and sprawling
aggregation it is a country town,
rioting in the Increase of opportunity.
A city, normally, is center of civili-
zation. 1t generates and makes pos
sible the forces of civilization that
without it are not possible. From the
beginning. the influences that have,
shaped the history of mankind have
come from cities. Has anything of
this kind come out of Chicago? Lay
ing aside its commercial power,
which is prodigious we doubt if any
OF the finer influences have radiated
from Chicago that make cities a ben
ehcence, that constitute them centers
of civilization whose example lifts up
the reoion round about and helps for
ward the age We are not lecturing
Chicago, nor are we bringing against
it railing accusation. We know of
the good men and women there, tire
less in Their duty, and of the living
forces that work to make head
against evil conditions. But they
have not done enough and are hardly
more than voices crying in the wild
erness. Chicago needs a great a., TX
ening of civic conscience and civic
virtue if it is ever to become not
simply big aut great city.

Company Adds $4s.ooo.ooo in Gary.

Satisfied that Gary, Indiana, will be
the steel capital of the world, the di-
rectors of the United States Steel
Corporation have decided to- invest
an additional $45,OO0,0OO in the con-
struction of the model city and steel
plant just across the Indiana state
line from Chicago.
Information that the directorate OF
the steel corporation had set aside
the amount for the purpose of devel-
oping Gary was received at the new
city Thursday and caused a rapid ad-
vance in values and buoyant sensa-
ton through the humming town.
The s45.O0O,000 is in addition to the
original appropriation of $4,000, 900,
estimated as the necessary outlay for
the building of the paint and for the
formation of the city which will
house the score of thousands of
workers who will be employed at
Gary when the final plans of the
steel kings have been consummated..
The excess appropriation is to be
used in widening the scope and ex-
tent of the steel plant proper The
cost of the building of Gary is in
cluded in the first estimate, which
was made when it was proposed to
transform a desert of drifting sand
into the greatest steel manufacturing
city of the continent
Gary was much excited over the
news. 1t is expected that much of
the additional fund will be used in
the purchase of machinery, but the
increase means that additional labor
will be necessary to build the greater
plant and set up the machinery and
that opportunity will be given for the
employmen of much larger number
of men in the works than at first was
expected.
Three thousand men were at work
Thursday building Gary and 300 or
400 men are being added daily The
work accomplished in the construc-
ton of the plant and the city since
the first spadeful of sand was turned
June 16. 1906, almost surpasses the
comprehension of those who have
followed it.

Operator Strike Started on Coast.

Livery operator but one in the
! Western Union Offices at Los Ange-
les, Cal, walked out Wednesday,
Transforming the recently made
peace into war
The strike took officials OF the
company there completely by sur
prise, although they had received
warning Tuesday in the shape of an
ultimatum.
According to the operators one of
the causes leading up to the walk
out was the preference given by COM
pany officials to the word of strike
breaker over that of union man.
1t seems that one of the regular
operators had trouble with strike
breaker during the recent strike in
San Francisco. Complaint was lodg-
ed by the strikebreaker and the case
was taken up this week and the oper-
ator at Los Angeles was discharged
He applied for reinstatement, but his
application was ignored by the man.
ager.
The other operators took up the
case and served an ultimatum on the
company, saying if the discharged
man was not reinstated by O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon they would all
walk out But when the time came
and no answer was given they left
the keys.
Some of the operators who have
walked out quote this case as typi-
cal of the company's attitude toward
the men since the conclusion of the
recent hostilities. They declare the
company has failed to live up to its
promises and charge against it in par
ticular the treatment which women
operators belonging to the. union
have received.
They say the officials are cndeavor-
ing to make the work so unpleasant
for the women that they will quit
the business.
How seriously Wednesdays walk
out will develop cannot be foretold
1t is certain the temper of the oper-
ators at Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco has been sharpened to fight
ing point and that the trouble started
there is likely to spread.
The fact that the operators in strik
ing acted upon their own initiative
and without the fornlality of awaiting
an order is indicative of their tenn

Of striking at one point and leaving
the remainder of the union telegraph
ers at their posts, they say, proved
a failure at San Francisco, and it is
probable that it will be more difficult
to restrain overzealous operators
from walking out in sympathy with
the men at Los Angeles.

For Home Consumption.

We suppose that if even Senator
Bailey, the borrower from Standard
Oil people, had known or realized
that the following words spoken by
him would have travelled outside of
Texas he would not have spoken
them: "a Texas negro can be made
as good as a Massachusetts white
man but he cannot be made as good
as a Texas white man." Probably
Bailey himself does not believe what
he said The chances are that he was
appealing to the narrow preJudices
AID the sectionalism of the narrowest
of the people to whom he spoke. In
one breath he fattered the .fexas
man and delighted him-as he sup
posed-by slurring the Massachusetts
man. The idea is the old one that
the Southern man is in every way
better than the Northern man.
However, we imagine that our
Massachusetts, friends will not feel
hIrt at being thus condemned by a
man who, while Senator from Texas,
was engaged in business transactions
with the agents of the Standard Oil
company at he very time that the eff
fort was being made to drive it out
of Texas We think further that it
is necessary to discriminate some
/, hat 1t s.ill not do 10 cl1ss all
Texas meis together and all Massa-
Texas men together and all Massa-
chussetts men together. All the for
mer are not better than all the latter.
One Texas man-as one star-differ-
eth from another Texas man in glory
Possibly if the question were one of
educating a negro up to the Bailey
level the task would not be so diff
cult.
OF course, there is a serious side to
Bailey's statement This setting of
Massachusetts against Texas is
prompted by sectional feeling AS
Massachusetts is in the North, the in
timation is that the North does not
amount to much Now Bailey knows
better He has served in Congress
with Northern men, with Massachus-
etts men, and he would be the first
to admit their high qualities. If Tex
as can show any nobler man than the
late Senator Hoar We should like to
know who he is. But the Senator
from Texas thought that it would be
fine thing to show his loyalty" to
his section by attacking the people
of Massachusetts, and he hoped and
expected that many who had not had
his opportunities for observation,
would believe what he said. He knew
better, but then perhaps his audience
did not know better OF course 1t
does not matter what Bailey thinks,
for he is one of the most thoroughly
discredited men irP the country. But
it does matter that a Senator of the
United States should thus appeal to
sectional feeling, should thus count
on deceiving ignorance His silly
sentiment, was, it seems, received
with tremendous applause" But
Massachusetts has nothing to fear
from a comparison with Texas or
any other State
