WILL GET BETTER
INTERURBAN SERVICE
Indiana and East Chicago
Promised Better Service
By G. L. s. & B. Line.
COMPANY IS TRYING HARD
Want to Give Calumet Region a
Service That It Can Be
Proud of.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

Indiana Harbor Ind, Oct. 17.-Indi-
ana Harbor and East Chicago resi-
dents who visit Chicago theaters and
are compelled to use the midnight
Lake Shore railroad train to return
home, are soon to be given better in
terurban service between this city and
East Chicago. according to promises
made by H. C. Buchanan, manager OF
the c.. L S. & S. B. line. Mr.. Buch-
anan made an inspection trip over the
line yesterday and was greatly pleased
with the progress made towards bet
ter service during the past two weeks.
Company Is Not Yet Satisfied.
Our company wishes to give resi-
dents OF the Calumet region the kind
of service" said Mr. Buchanan, "and
while 1t may take a little longer than
we expected we will soon give them a
railway to be proud Of"
The particular Improvement to be
considered by the road officials is the
institution of a car between Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago, leaving this
city at 1915 a. m, or waiting until
the arrival of the midnight L. S. & s.
B. train from Chicago. This will per-
NIT residents of the district south OF
this city and in the vicinity of the
CONDUIT works and steel foundries to
save the usual two-mile walk. It will
| also be of immense value to skating
rink visitors and guests at dances il
this city during the winter months. A:
| the service is now scheduled, the las
| car leaves Indiana Harbor at 1922
o'clock and this, to residents of thi,
vicinity. seems unreasonably early.
To Put New Switches.
The Hanna company is also con
templating the installation of prope
| switches at the Guthrie street barn ii
order that the small cars, operating
on the East Chicago service, can b.
kept in the Harbor over night The.
are now being taken to Gary, wher
| they are exposed to the wind an
! weather. Mr.. Buchanan figures tina
| the keeping of the cars in the Harbo
barn will mean a saving to the com
pany both in power used and the usua
| wear and tear on the car mechanisms
Car No. so, which was damaged i
the wreck with the C. T. & T. engin
on last Friday evening. has been take
to Michigan City, where Mr.. Buch
anan reports it as fully repaired an
ready TO be returned to service O
Sunday.

SOME OF DEPARTMENTS
READY FOR OPERATION
E. J. Burlington, z. K. Knapp and
John C. Spry, the Lumber King,
Among the visitors-Will Return
Monday to Finish Their Tour of
Inspection.

- g the past few days Gary has been
ov sShelmed by the influx of a num-
be- Aof the best known business men
of the country. Monday one of the
best known of them all, Mr.. Ellis E.
Corey, president of the United States
Steel company, will be in Gary for the
purpose of looking over the Gary mills
In the construction of the mills they
have now reached the second stage and
for the past few weeks the mills have
been carefully inspected by high Of
f1cials of the steel company.
Mills May Open Any Time.
Aside from a general inspection of
the mills, no other significance is
placed on Mr.. Corey's visit to Gary.
1t may be that the plans for the open
ing of the mills will be discussed. and
that they will arrive at some decision
which will be of vital interest to Gary.
1t is known that some of the build
ings have reached such a state of com
pletion that they will be ready to start
operations in that department almost
any time.
Preceding Mr.. Corey, a number of
officials of the steel company came to
Gary yesterday for the purpose OF
looking through the mills. This party
consisted of E. J. Burlington, presi-
dent of the Indiana Steel company; G.
G. Thorp. vice president; K. K. Knapp
chief council for the steel corpora
ton, and John C. Spry. of the Spry
Lumber company, commonly known as
the lumber king.
VIII Return Again Monday.
The object of their visit is supposed
to be Identical with that of Mr.. Core,
Monday. They spent some little tins
in the mills. and took dinner at thu
Gary hotel. The party left for Chi
cago last night 1t is expected tina
they will join Mr.. Corey Monday wher
he makes his tour of inspection t,
Gary.
Aside from the above celebrities
President McCrea of the Pennsylvani;
railroad and a number of other higl
officials in the ranks of the great road
were in Gary yesterday for the pur
pose of going through the mills.

IhTERURbAN TELLS
OF IMPROVEMENTS
Gary Line Makes Welcome
Announcements of
It's Plans.

The Gary & Interurban announced
today that they are about to inau-
gerate a great Improvement, both in
their service and equipment. So rapid
are the improvements being brought
about that they are fairly bewildering
and the Gary service will be made as
good as there is in this part of the
state. THE TIMES story to the effect
that work was to start in the near
future on the pavement of the right
of way of the street railway, was verf-
fed last night by superintendent w. c.
Phillips. who stated that the material
for this work was now on the way to
Cara. If the brick arrives as soon
as expected work will be started on
the paving Monday. This will be a
wonderful relief to the public which
has long suffered the inconvenience Of
having the middle of the street i'm
passible.
Service Is Bettered.
In addition to the paving of the
street. the car service was bettered and
went into effect today Hereafter there
will be three cars in operation in Gary
instead of two. Two of them will OPP
crate on Broadway from the Lake
Shore tracks to Toleston. On the Toll
eston division a twenty-four minute
service will be maintained, and on
Gary UP to Eleventh avenue there will
be a twelve minute service. North of
Eleventh avenue cars will run each
MI v,,fp Owe 81 10
two cars which arrived this week Will
be used as an extra for morning and
evening service, to and from the mills.
Still another improvement for the
equipment is the arrival of four fend-
ers. which will be put on the cars in
the next four days. These tenders,
which are said to be very expensive
will be of material assistance in help
/ ing to mitigate the danger in opera
tion of the cars. One of the strong
est objections to the line has been the
absence of any means of protection
/ from the cars.

On the Speakers List.

Robert E Lee, state labor commits
sioner of Louisiana, is also on the
speakers list for the evening, and will
occupy the platform until the arrival
of Mr.. Marshall from his Hammond
meeting. Mr.. Lee is said to be a
splendid orator, of the shouting type,
and will attempt to show the ssuperi-
ority of his partys platform over that
of the republican party by COM
parison of the labor regulations
throughout the country. His address
will be we'll worth hearing and is pre-
dicted and not by republican alone,
as being a splendid opportunity for the
citizens of Indiana aHarbor and East
Chicago to once more convince them
selves that the country needs four
more years of prosperity under con-
tinuation of the Rooseyeltian policies
and not free trade, free-silver anti
imperialistic campaign such as that Of
fered by the Bryan followers.

A HOUSE OF GOVERNORS.

1t is proposed that the governors
of the forty-five (now forty six)
states meet annually for session OF
two or three weeks to discuss, con-
suit and confer on vital questions eff
fecting the welfare of the states, the
unifying of the state laws, and the
closer unity of the states as a nation.
The House of Governors would have
no law making power, nor should it
ever aspire to such power. It's force
would be in initiative, in inspiration,
and in influence. The governors
would seek to unite on a general bas-
is of action on great questions to be
submitted to the legislature of the
respective states in the governors
message. 1t would seem that an
august, dignified body of forty-five
governors representing their states
with the lawmaking power of forty
five legislatures behind them, should
in time become an inherent part in the
American idea of self-government and
a powerful factor for good in the
nation.
In the congress of the United
States the senator's, chosen as they
are by the state legislature, nomin-
ally represent their states but not
the people OF their states, for the
latter have no direct voice in their
selection. The members of the
House Of Representatives do not rep
resent their states, but simply dis
tricts of their states. With ties to
their constituents and with duties
and obligations to them, they may
In theory have the interest of the en-
tire state as a matter of paramount
Importance in their hearts, but in
fact they never loose sight OF finality
of value in the congressional district.
The governor of the state, however,
is elected by the people, is directly re-
sponsible to the people, and is in con-
slant touch with the people, keeping
his fingers close-prest on the pulse
OF their needs and problems. The
voice of the governors, therefore, in
the proposed new house means a new
direct, vital representation of the
people in the affairs of the state, and
in the harmony of the states making
up the nation, such as the people
have never yet had in the life OF the
republic. The Literary Digest.

erty. Every town has it's abetors
of the criminal offsprings. These
two factions together constitute the
enemies Of society and good govern
ment. The evil that these two can
do is only measured by the extent to
which public opinion is silent when
they first overstep the bounds OF the
law. If when that first lawbreaking
step is taken, an cutlery from the
lawabiding class arises, then the
criminal and his sympathizer stink
away to await the substance of the
outcry On the other hand if the

ty. Where lies the fault? Is it be-
burdened city? Rather it is because
of the lack of moral back bone of the
better class of society. In every com
munity can be found business men of
outward responsibility, men who
would not do mean or criminal act
and who pass as the standard Of citi-
zenship. 1t is to this class that the
open town and the unbridled vice can
be directly traced. 1t is to their hid
den yet none the less clear sympathy
with the law breaker that the respon-
sibility for the supremacy Of the evil
element in any community can be
traced The business man who for COM
mercial or business reasons will shut
his eyes to the violations of the law
by the saloon or the prostitute ele-
ment is merely laying his good name
and citizenship on the altar of greed.
The man who says by his action that
his price is measured by the trade he
can get from the wrongdoer is just as
surely adding his influence for i'm
purity as the lowest type of degraded
humanity. The minister who toddies
to the man of the above class because
of his donations to the church is
merely adding his influence to the
force that will sooner or later crum-
BILE the structure of righteous govern
ment. The man or woman who
makes cutlery against Sunday base

ployees to get off on week day to

to any great extent in doing away
with Sunday baseball. To. just the
extent that any citizen backs UP his
professed love for law and order by
actual aid In building up public senti-
ment against viciousness can he be
called consistent. 1t is a fair ques-
ton to ask any man whether he is
on the side OF right and decency or
on the side OF vice when 1t comes to
the question of his own community and

A MENDACIOUS REPORT

We have paid no attention to the
persistent rumor that Mr.. Roosevelt
is secretly but sedulously contriving
to have his name presented to the
Republican Convention at the phsy-
olCgical moment, his nomination
carried by reclamation and the hon.
or. thrice declined, forced upon him
against his will. Whatever Mr..
Roosevelt's faults, lack of frankness
is not one OF them. He is a hard
fighter, but he fights always in the
open. He is temperamentally out
spoken. and would be incapable of
either deyising or executing so dis
honorable scheme. That some
over-1ealuus friends-the kind of
friends from whom one may we'll pray
tn he delivnred- have ap-
parently been ready to applaud the

scheme gives no color to the charge
which is foisted upon him. 1t is
his enemies, not his friends, who
would seek to distroy his good name
and his future influence by attempt
ing to induce him to falsify all his
protestations. That four years from
now he may be candidate and a
successful candidate for the Presi-
dency is among possibilities; but it
is not among possibilities that he
would accept nomination this fall
though it were rendered to him with
unanimity. We venture to prophesy
that Mr.. Taft will be nominated on
the first ballot; that if he is not
nominated on the first ballot, there
will be no stampeding of the Conven-
ton; and finally, that if the Conven-
ton should stampede and Mr.. Roose-
welt nominated, he would, as he
should, promptly decline the nomi-

The claim of the Capital News that
Twin Falls was made the choice for
the convention because of it's anti
Mormon sentiment is rather i'll timed
coming as it does after the Ada
county delegation had fully accorded
in the selection of this city at the
meeting of the state central commit
tee. The claim that this section is
strongly anti-Mormon was the only
bit of truth manifest in the Capital
News screed. Twin Falls county
does believe there is a political side
to the Mormon question and that be-
lief is not confined to the ranks of
the democratic party and in case the
anti-Mormon plank is inserted as the
major portion of the voters desire it
will mean larger vote for the state
and national ticket than ever before.
The question is one for the scheme
ing politician to decide whether the
Democracy of this state declares for
the purity Of the home, but for the
freeholders of that party. A few
disgruntled, would be Office holders
from the capital of the state seem to
have the idea that it is not a case of
party, but of their own sweet will,
which should govern the action of
the state as whole. They claim
that the supreme court has decided
the question and that all the party
can do is lay down and stop the
fight. 1t does not occur to them
that there are several laws in this
state that are dead letters because
the people are too cowardly to en-
force them The constitution does
prohibit polygamy, but it needs a
healthy public sentiment back Of it
to insist that the constitution is bind
ing This seems to be the point
where the Ada county Democrats are
weak and inclined to shun a vital
question.
