This is an editorial about one who
used to be a man.
He is now a millionaire.
This man began his business life
without a dollar If as some one has
said, "a man is worth only 81 q day
from his shoulders down and $50 a
day from his shoulders up" this man
at first was worth only So a day.
After awhile he began to use his head
Ito work from his shoulders up.
AS soon as he got to working from
others He learned how to make
money grow money. He was smart
enough presently to corner some spe-
cial privileges that the man who works
with his hands never gets. Then he
began to get rich quick. In a little
while he was a millionaire.
And there was the mans wife.
When he was just beginning to do
things with his head he married fine
girl, who, like himself, was poor. She
worked hard, denying herself. She
saved and shaved and lost her beauty
What mattered it? They were getting
rich They would enjoy their pros
perity together
Then this man became a thing.
He looked into the face of his wife
and saw that her beauty had faded.
She did her best to please him, but the
old charm was gone. And one day
this creature in male garments hap
pened to bump into a girl who was
artful, fascinating and pretty to boot
She looked at him and smiled He
was hypnotized and finally undone
He would have this woman He would
buy her. He was rich enough to do SO.
And thus the plot thickened
The male creature sent his lawyers
to the old wife, who had literally given
herself to him, body and soul, and Of
fered her much money. The lawyers
told the wife her husband had no fur
Their use for her Then came the di-
vorce suits and the scandal. Finally
the millionaire went away with the
pretty woman. And almost every day
the old wife cried
Who is this fellow with much money
and no soul?
Turn to the commercial reports of
Dun or Bradstreet and read over the
list of millionaires quoted there. If
you will pick out some one at random
you will scarcely fail to find his nams
and address.

There is no discounting the hold

strong personality. He is candidate
who cannot be overlooked and a can

fastened himself on his party-which

state Senator \. ]. Bowser was in
Hamond yesterday and today looking
over the political situation and con
ferring with some Of the leaders here.
Speaking of the dissatisfaction that
has been shown by labor with the re-
publican party, Bowser had the fol
lowing to say:
The Indiana labor leaders them
selves admitted that at the last ses-
sion of the legislature there was more
done for labor than in all of the pre-
ceding sessions. I myself introduced
and secured the passage of the full
crew bin which was the pet measure
of the railroad union men.
The sixteen hour bill was another
measure which was heartily endorsed
and which was passed by the legisla-
ture. The republican party in Indiana
has given labor everything it asked
for and I do not believe that the unions
in the state will go back on thor
friends and take a chance on a party
which is an unknown quantity. ex-
cept for promises, with no assurance
of fulfllment."

IN POLITICS

If statistics recently sent broadcast
over Indiana are correct, there will be
$4,000 entirely new voters in the state
a the fall election. These figure,
must not be taken to mean that these
voters are all young men who are vot-
ing for the first tie. It includes votes
being cast in the state that were not
cast at the last election.
The rumor reached Hammond yester-
day that the Chicago Record Herald
is to go democratic July 20. This in
formation is said to have been told in
confidence to a Hammond man by a
well known Chicago politician.
The reason for the change is sail
to be purely commercial The demo-
Gratis have no organ in tho middle west
They realize that they will have to

the campaign funds which the party
will have at its disposal this year viii

but whether the change will take place

tisized will be matter Of great interest
