WHITING WRESTLING
WITH PARK QUESTION
City Council Appoints a
Committee Which is to
Official Action.

Oil City Sees a Chance of Buying
Three 32-Acres With Lake
Frontage.
IS A MUCH DEBATED SUBJECT
Frontage.
Especial to THE TIMEs).

Whiting, Ind, July 31.-The park
question which has been before the
public on numerous occasions is again
up for discussion aud is receiving once
again the undivided attention of the
citizens.
The city council has started the
movement by appointing a committee,
which consists of three members,
Chairman Frank NJ. Long and Henry
Schrage and Herman Water.
Long Is Optimistic.
The members are well fitted for the
work for which they have been ar
pointed.
Chairman Long in speaking of the
matter said everything looked favor
able and unless something unforeseen
turns up we will have an excellent
tract of land for a breathing spot
within the course of about fifteen days.
81 Acres with Lake Frontage.
The strip of land which is being con-
sidered. borders on Lake Michigan and
consists Ct nearly thirty-two acres,
reaching fl ON Sheridan avenue to
Front street. This stretch also in
cIudes the eight acres which the city
has been trying to get by litigation
for several years, the case of which
is now pending in the courts.
Several people argue that the case
should be dropped until this case is
settled. Others say that instead of
buying all the land on the lake front
the council should wait until the case
is settled. and if the city wins the case
that they simply spend the money to
beautify the stretch and with the re-
mainder of the park fund purchase
land for a park which would be more
centrally located.
Room for Argument.
There is without a doubt much room
for argument in the case, no matter
which way it is taken. The people have
grown weary of waiting for this tract
of land which they were in the hope:
of getting, and whenever the parl
question is mentioned tie citizens heavt
a long sigh
If the land can be procured at
| reasonable figure it is the opinion o
the majority that it is better to grasI
| the opportunity and not wait year.
| FOR something we are not certain o
| getting.
Committee VIII Push Matter.
The present committee will push tn
matter through as soon as possible
and Improvements will probably be be
gun yet this year with a view to max
ing it one of the best parks at thi
end of the lake
A park along the lake front will b
of untold benefit and furnish unlim
tied enjoyment for the Whiting people
besides giving the young people pac
for recreation which will be theirs an
in which they can take just pride.
That people appreciate the beautifu
lake shore is discernibIe by the larg
crowds who gather each night to tax
a dip in the deep and enjoy the re
freshing breeZes.
All are anxiously awaiting the re
suit of this important matter and afte
the land is secured the means of az
proach will be the next point of dis
cussion. as the railroad tracks wi
prove disastrous if no viaduct is Pre-
vided.

WASHINGTON MAN
GETS APPOINTMENT
Gary Public Library Gets
an Expert From the
National Capital.

The Gary library board met yes
terday and appointed l.. G. Bailey of
Washington, ID. c., is librarian of the
new Gary library This is the first
step that has been taken towards the
actual assembling of a lot of books
for public purposes, and Mr.. Bailey is
to have the responsibility of making
the selection Of books which the Ii
brary will purchase.
Mr.. Bailey has been employed in the
great congressional library. where he
had charge of the copyrights. 1t is
supposed that his experience along the
line of copyrights will make him es-
pecially valuable to the numerous In
diana authors who may want to seek
his advice from time to time
Mr.. Bailey was formerly from AL
bany, n. Y. where he was also en-
gagged in library work He will bring
to Gary his large experience, which will
he invaluable in the work he has I'm
dertaken.
The Gary library is to be started in
temporary quarters. and it is hoped
that arrangements will be made for a
permanent building in the near future.
1t has been suggested several times
that the assistance of Andrew Car
negie could probably be secured in
raising funds for a library in the new
steel town but there have been no steps
taken along this line as yet
1t is hoped that the captains of in
1 dustry in the steel business will take
! a great interest in the new steel city
and will help to make its library the
best in the world for a city of the
size.
Mr.. Bailey viii have charge of the
selection of a location for the new IL
brary building, and it is understood
that the Gary Land company will do
nate a lot for a site

Indianapolis, July 31-The demo-
Gratis of the state are this day holding
down the boards in this city. The state
committee is in session at the Grand
hotel and the Democratic State Edi-
toriaI association is gambling on the
green at Fairview park, while the can

their time between the two places
The democratic host commenced to
arrive yesterday and parts of it kept
on coming until the middle of this
morning. Last night a reception was
held at the Grand hotel for Mr. and
Mrs. Marshall and Mr. and Mrs. Kern.
The candidates for governor and vice
presidency with their wives met hun
dreds of patriots. The Marshalls are
the guests of the Kerns during the
stay here.
Hits the Mud-SIinging Paper.
The executive committee of the edi-
torial association met last evening and
outlined the campaign. Following a
request by Mr.. Marshall it was de-
cided that a high plane should be pre-
served, that personalities should not
be engaged in. that mud-slinging should
form no part OF the campaign and tnal
for the most part issues, and not men
should be discussed.
At 10 o'clock this morning special
cars took the moulders of public opin-
ion to Fairview park and each editor
had with him a basket large enough
to carry half the yellow-legged chick
ems in his township. The wives anC
children of the editors went along.
There was some speech making. bu
the most of the day was spent il
loIling about on the green and tellin&
stories of former campaigns, etc. TIL,
principal speakers were Mr.. Kern AM

with the editors in describing to then
what he regarded as the ideal news

THE QUALIFICATION.

There are o great many things
Which should figure in the quality of
a mans Democracy as we'll as the
election qualifications. Without the
articles of faith how is allegiance
to be fully determined. What is
a party without its code. 1t will
not do to underestimate the value
of organization. No party can be
successfully maintained without
systematic and effective organiza-
ton, and no paper is more loyal
to its mandates than this one. And
yet a political pirate may not
scratch single name on the, ticket.
What we aim to show is that the
lines which distinguish this from
others as a peoples government
are gradually disappearing, and
the principles of Democracy which
are the very essence of this system
have been inoculated with poison.

The Undaunted South.

Storms have swept the South again.
Thousands of homes are wrecked by
cyclones. A multitude of people are
dead. Disaster grins wierdly at gar
dens that a few days ago smiled CRATE
fully at the sun.
The South seems to be ever at the
mercy of the winds. Tornadoes have
killed more people in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama
than yellow fever ever did. The
atmospheric disturbances come. too,
when Nature is serenest.
That May afternoon twelve years
ago in St. Louis was idyllic when, of
sudden. the horizon darkened, the
winds began shrieking and the skele-
tons of destruction quickly grew into
giants. They wrecked homes and
killed without mercy.
In September, eight years ago, Gal
weston was superb in her new fall
dress. There wasn't the slightest
sign of wrong. The seas were quiet,
the land winds cooling. Then APP
peared the spectre of desolation. The
devastation that followed sickens the
mind, even now, that contemplates
the record of that awful night.
Winds, floods, fires, fevers and
plaques visit the fairest of our fields.
They wiring tears from Americas
sturdiest sons; wipe progress tempo
rarily off the slate; fill graveyards and
retard the growth of commerce;
Yet think you that the South feels
discouraged? Not at all. 1t is the
land of promise. Her people believe
in a better day; and for the present
they cling to the old-time ideas of re-
ligion and citizenship, trusting to
Providence and believing in the right.
Storms do not prevent the erection
of new homes. and the fear of them
is lost while the eye, ever restless,
contemplates the grandeur of the
South's incompatible fields that yield
the very staff of life. = New York

The practice of dumping dead
carcasses in Houser Creek, west
of the city limits, should have the
attention of the officers of the law
and the grand jury. A number Of
the citizens of that locality are
making complaints and they have
right to do so. All kinds of junk
and carcasses have been thrown In
the creek and the effect is not very
healthy or pleasant.
