TAFT ON SHIP SUBSIDY

President Taft waited until he got 10
the Pacific coast before unlimbering his
speech favoring II ship subsidy steal
from the public. Not word about it
in Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Colorado or Montana These states
would have to contribute, and would
receive no possible return for their con-
tributionS. In these he pattcd the
farmers on the back and talked of the
conservation of national resources
which, under republican administra-
tions, have been depleted and destroyed
for personal profit and without the
slightest regard for the country's
future.
On the eastern and western coasts
there are to be found combinations of
capital that would be directly benefited
in a financial way by ship subsidy.
The presidents remarks on the subject
are reserved for these.
What does the president propose to
take from the pockets of the people and
give to the builders and owners of ships?
HsIe is the list of items: Enough to
cover the greater expense of labor;
enough to cover the greater expense of
naterial enough to cover the greater
cost of equipping, manning and main
tanning ships; and lastly, an amount
equal to the subsidies given to their
own ships by foreign nations. Other
countries only give the subsidy The
people of the United States are to be
asked to duplicate that and donate the
the items mentioned above in addition.
Like the tariff, if the plan were put
in operation. the limit of cost to the
people never would be reached. Each
succeeding congress would be asked to
tax the people still more FOR the pro-
lection OF our merchant marine" But
the amount of the COST is of secondary
consideration. The principal is in
herently wrong, for its entire and only
effect would be to take from one man
and give to another without recompens-
ing the giver for his loss. 1t is special
legislation of the most vicious type. 1t
would tax the many for the enrichment
OF the few without even a slight
incidental benefit to the government.
The whole plan is un-American and
undemocratic, and no party that would
pass such IL law could possibly remain
in DowGr.
There is little fear, however, that
this piece Of robbery will ever be car
ried to fulfillment. The democrats
III congress will oppose it to a man,
ana there will b. enough "progressves,"
elected as republicans but trying to rep
resent the interests of their constitu-
cntS,to furnish the number of votes req
uiSitc to defeat the gigantic steal.--

BEGINS To
RESEMBLE:
4 C|N(;H
Judge T. M. G. Hembrof
Looms Big on East Chi
cago's Political Horizon
Albert Lewis Withdraws
From the Race.
Special to TIE TINES

East Chicago. sept. 15.-The boom
for Judge T. NJ c. Hembroff for the
mayoralty is growing every hour. What
looked at first as though was going to
be a reasonably even race between
Judge Hembroff and Albert Lewis. with
a slight lead for the Indiana Harbor
man, has evinced tendency to general
rout. Lewis is now out of it. and the
rest of the candidates who are entered
with Judge Hembroff are punched rae
ing neck and neck away back in the
first quarter, with Hembroff in the
home stretch, and gaining speed at
every lap.
Lewis withdrawal was the subject
of the hour in political circles yester-
day. Not that it in itself counted for
so much, but it takes on an added sig
nifcance by virtue of the fact that GER
tain influential parties who had been
more or less under obligations 10 the
alderman from the first are relieved
of an emba raising position. and VIII
now have no hesitancy in coming out
in favor of Judge Hembroff. and with
this element disposed, it looks at the
present time like a clean walk-away
for Judge Hembroff
Two Meetings On.
Two Hembrofr meetings are sched-
uled for tonight, which promise to be
sizzleds. The first will take place at
Weiland's hall at 1870 o'clock sharp.
The second is set for p. m. at John
Krupas hall, One Hundred and Fiji
tieth street and Barring avenue An
other meeting will take place at An
drew Fuzys hall.
At both of these meetings Judge
Hembroff will give practically the
same talk. the burden of the speeches
being reply to certain allegations
that have been made by conspiring pol
iticians, for the purpose Of hurting the
logical candidates chances. specially
will the speaker define his position
toward union labor
Some pretty reckless talking has
been done. some by parties who should
be in better business. and some by
more or less discredited individuals.
concerning Judge Hembroff's attitude
toward organized labor. Also regard
ing other issues in the present cam
paign, many of the statements are so
absurd that they are scarcely worthy
of identifying with a reply, but Judge
Hembrof realizes that there will be
some few. even among the more in
telligent of the voters, who are not
on to the ms and outs of the local
political situation, but who may hear
them and give them credence. These
speakers who have disparanged Judge
Hembroff seem to forget that there is
a day of reckoning when they will be
glad enough to climb into the band
wagon, and when, by the same token
there will be no room. as all of the
seats will be occupied by the faithful.

Reports still continue to come in to
the office of THE TIMES a Gary that
the dives of Charles Jackson and Dave
Johnson are wide open on the south
side. beer and whisky being sold with
out the slightest fear, and gambling go
ing on unmolested.
At Jackson's and Johnson's places last
night a TIMES reporter saw drunken
negroes coming out of each of the re-
sorts and the noise and revelry that
continued until nearly midnight could
be heard for blocks around. Police
officers who passed both places at times
during the night made no effort TO stop
the disturbance. 1t is a fact that beer
and whisky are both being sold, not
only at the two abovem mentioned negro
dives. but at other places on the south
side. South side residents say that the
lid has been off for the past ten days
and are OF the opinion that it viii re-
main so until after the election.
Brags of His Pull.
Jackson. the notorious dive keeper.
has made boasts that he will keep his
place of business open as long as he
likes, and he knows of nobody that
will stop him. He says that he is pay
ing for protection. otherwise he would
not be permitted to keep his resort
open when other respectable saloon
keepers are compelled to walt until the
remonstrance is lifted.
Johnson and Jackson claim that they
are keeping boarding houses. Their
places are filled each evening with
scores Of negroes of the worst type and
reputation who have no occupation in
Gary. but lay around these two resorts
in idleness and spend their time in gam
bling and drinking
It is said that these negroes will be
kept until after election and that the
two dive keepers are being paid to
keep them in Gary. OF course. if the
police allow these law violations it may
become necessary for the Hammond po-
lice to fun off few more raids.
