Sometimes providences, like Hebrew
letters, must be read Backwards
No great deed is done by falterers
who ask for certainty.-George Eliot

There is no place where earth's
sorrows
Are more felt than in heaven;
% There is no place where earth's
failings
Have such kindly judgment
given;
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of mans
mind,
And the Heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
-Faber

OF the mysterious and the supernatur-
al about their supposed production
me greater the reverence given them
But the Christian scriptures come by
way OF flesh and blood men. They
pear the traces of the personality of
thelr authors. What is supernatural
about them shows itself in the con
tent. rather than in the method of
production. Spirit of God guides the
pen, but. after all, it is a mans nen.
and the Omniscient shows more re-
spect for the personality of his crea-
lures than some of his creatures are
inclined to show to Omniscience. Thus
II comes about that the Third GOSPEL
which barely indicates in its text the
personality of the man who wrote
it, is yet underlaid with his character.

ference with President t. E. Mitten.
Answer of company probably will be
made at another conference with MIR.
NIitten tomorrow afternoon.
OFFER of maximum scale of 80 cents

ence reported as having been met
with reply from uniOnists to the ef-
feet that the maximum scale should
go to men of three years of expert
ence.. UniOnists impatient for settle
ment of dispute.
ARBITRATION as provided by the new
street railway ordinance looked upon
with disfavOr by union leaders, but
urged by traction officials. Belief
6grew that arbitration is likely to be
ultimate refuge of Gtsputants.

Mr. Roach and representatives of EN-

CARMEN IMPATIENT FOR
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE

at that time. The committee has in
formed Mr.. Roach that it will not con-
slider a graduated scale extending over
a period of years. as he suggested, and
that they must get an immediate in
crease for all the men now in the train
service and must know definitely when
they are to receive the maximum of 80
cents which they are asking for. Mr..
Roach has conferred with Chauncey
Keep and Henry A. Blair of the board
of directors. and it is expected that he
will announce just how far the com
pany can go in order TO avert a strike.
In the conference in Mr.. Mitten's of
flee yesterday, which lasted four hours,
Mr.. Mitten proposed a graduated scale
up to ten years, the trainmen who have
been in the employ of the company for
that length of time to receive the maxi
mum scale of 30 cents an hour at once.
President Buckley of the union de-
clared he would not consider the sug
gestion and said he must have a fiat
rate of increase to present to the un-
ion at its meeting Saturday night.
Buckley also declared that the union
would not make an agreement for more
than three years and would not consid-
er any scale which did not provide for
the maximum wage being paid at the
end of the second year of service. He
told Mr.. Mitten that the committee
would accept any compromise which
would give them the advance they are
asking in two years, whether in the
shape of 1h cents an hour advance
this year and a similar advance next
year, or 1 cent this year and cents
next year. He declared that nothing
less would be acceptable and insisted
on a definite answer.
The South Chicago and Calumet d.
vision of street car employees may com
municate through its wage scale com
mittee with Mr. Mitten today or tomor-
| row. The union has voted to send It's
| committee to seek better terms thar
those offered on last Saturday. but the
failure of the committee to visit Mr.
N1itten during the day was taken by
unionists as indicative of the genera
i. desire to avoid final settlement by on,
division before the others are ready.

The new lawn sprinkler, which is
now on the market and is being dis
tributed TO the jobbers throughout the
country, by the company's agents. is
meeting with great success and prom
ises to make the owners of the patent
a handsome profit. Many of the lawn
sprinklers are in use in Gary and Ham
mond and are well spoken of. Mr..
Cramblett, who is on the road at the
present time reports that he has Sc
cured several large orders from job
bing houses, and what. with other ac-
cumulating business, the prospect looks
very bright for the local company.
The sprinkler is now being manu-
factured by the Stewart Machinery
Manufacturing company of Hammond
who are turning out on the average OF
from fifty to one hundred sprinklers
per day. When proper metal has beer
made the Hammond concern expects tc

Mr.. THOMAS SWANTON
HAS RESIGNED OFFICE.

"Tell the people of Hammond
that have resigned as police COM
missioner of this city, and that !
am now out for mayor" said Mr..
Swanton this afternoon, in a tone
plainly indicating that he was dis
gusted with the manner in which
his resignation had been treated.
What if your resignation is not
accepted" he was asked.
Il don't care whether they ac-
cept it or not" he replied. 81 am
through with it, tell you, I am
through with il"
As matter of fact Mr.. Swan
ton did turn in his star together
with his resignation Saturday
night, as related in The Times. At
tempts were made to induce him to
reconsider his action by the city
administration, but this only
seemed to anger him more until
now he is indignant at the insin-
uations that matters may still be
smoothed over.
By resigning from the commits
sion, Mr.. Swanton removes his
path the obstruction for his race
for the republican nomination. He
announces absolutely that he is a
candidate for mayor, and is in the
fight to stick.
