favor of the adoption of Wickey's

Porte, said he was in favor of proper
ly regulating the foreign-b born vote,
but not having read the Mickey reso-

luton. Representative Faris, repub-
lican. Of Lawrence county, where a
great many foreigners are employed in

said that Lawrence county had not
been greatly bothered by this efass OF
voters. because neither the democrats
nor the republicans had made organ
lied efforts to vote them.
Avoided a Dangerous Possibility.
I'VE had the question up in the last
campaign" said Mr.. Faris, but we de-
cided that it would be too expensive
to organize them and to have them
take out their declarationf- of intention
papers, unless we were compelled to
do so as a matter of protecting the
party's interests. We decided that, al
though we might get the vote one
time by seeing that the first papers
were taken out by the foreigners, we
would be placing a weapon in the
hands of our opponents for the next
election which it might be difficult to
regain"
When the joint resolution comes up
for adoption it will probably not be
| looked upon as a party measure. Both
sides in the house have put to great
expense in their efforts to swing" the
"hunky vote" as this class of voters
| is designated The opinion OF large
number of the house members is that
something ought to be done to regu-
l late the vote. but few knew the
/ exact provisions of the Mickey resolu-
ton, the members declined to say
whether or not they would vote for
its adoption.
/ If the Mickey resolution is adopted
by this session it viii be presented also
to the 1911 session If the latter ses-
sion adopts it. it viii then be put to
a vote of the people of. the state, when,
if it is ratified, 1t will become an
amendment after provision is made for

The Early Bird Gets The Worm

The Indiana Harbor Sentinel is fear
somely soHcitious that mayoralty can
didates can get into the race. too early.
The Sentinel editor says apprehensively
last week:
The Lake County Times is some
what premature with its mayorality
thunder, as most people seem to feel
that 1t is most too early to launch any
candidate for fear that something
might arise later on which would
prove embarrassing. not only to the
candidate, but to his supporters. There
can be no question but that the mat
ter of selecting new mayor and a new
set of councilmen and city officials is
one that should interest everybody and
it should be done with great delibera-
ton and care. There may be many
called but few can be chosen and the
people Of Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago should work in harmony in
the selection Of these men. 1t is not
good form for either end of the city
to want TO walk away with all the
offices. The present council has been
in the most part exceptionally fair
with Indiana Harbor in the administra-
ton of affairs. considering the great ad-
vantage East Chicago has had in the
council. Therefore Indiana Harbor has
little to complain of at the hands of
minority representation. Hence,
there is little excuse for Indiana Har-
Dor to assume that it will not get a

square deal even at the hands of an
East Chicago mayor. On the other
hand. however there are those in In
diana Harbor who think that mas
much as East Chicago has a fine city
hall it should be magnanious enough
to allow the Harhor to have the honor
of going over once or twice a week
in representative person and occupy
ing the big chair at the head of the
table. From the present outlook.
however, there viii be some good
timber to select from at both ends Of
the town. and would it not be a nice
thing if we could all just forget for
the time being which end of the town
he is from the select the very best of
the group? There is danger in get
ting too many candidates in the field
at each end Of the city for as sure
as there are some one who is more Of
Ia politician than a capable executive
might get into the chair. What we
want is man who can qualify whether
he lives in East Chicago or Indiana
Harbor."

smallest part of the matter. I do not
particularly care about being seated
What I do desire, however, is some re-
lief for the people of the counties in
the north part of the state from the
larger number of foreign-born persons
who now vote. The only way, in my
opinion, Is to provide this relief is to
require that every foreign born per-
son be a naturalized citizen before he
| is permitted to vote, and then to re-
quire that he live in the state one year
before gaining the right of franchise

the condition in Lake county from an
examination of our case, the members
will see our needs and give us some
relief from a situation which is rapidly

4 LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM.

II Saul of Tarsus had lived in our
day his sensational conversion on the
road to Damascus would appear in
black headlines.
Scarcely less striking was the con-
version of Pat Grove, bandit and bad
man, in Chicago fat recently.
And, like Saul, Pat Grove has be-
come an evangelist.
Groves reclamation was one of the
rewards that come to the patient city
missionary who goes into the depths
for the fallen.
A Mrs. Woodmansee visited Groves
home at the psychological moment
The bandit was overcome with re-
morse over a recent drunken debauch
With all the directness of a first CEN
fury apostle Mrs. Woodmansee said to
the man:
God needs you in his service"
The declaration was like the bolt of
light that blinded Saul on the high
way. Had the missionary said, 1.-The
devil needs you in his service" Grove
would have understood. But-God's
service.
Following up this stroke. the good
woman pointed to the infant son In
the lap of Groves wife and asked
what about his future.
Whereupon the hunted fugitive broke
down in abject penitence. His love for
the babe was Groves tender spot.
After several days Groves conversion
followed.
His transformation appeared COM
plete When he told his wife of his
future plans she put her hands in his
and said:
81 have faith in you. We win work
together"

unusual command Of language, is lee

Dealing With Criminals"

You may be of those who resent this
lecturing of society by reformed Grim

You may disbelieve in such CONVEX
sions and predict that the mood will
not last.
Out II AloJ Do OIoWS Has a SSAuAAs
message on the treatment of criminals
and the spiritual miracle In Groves
case be as genuine and lasting as tina
of Paul.
Anyway, one thing is sure-ehild

It is true now as of old that in tn
