GARY WILL BEFORE LONG
LEAVE PITTSBURG IN THE REAR

Under the caption of The Future of
Pittsburg," the Chicago Tribune saws
editortally this morning:
Mr. Henry c. Frick says the death
knell of Pittsburg was sounded when
Gary came into being. The new city is
in his opinion to be the steel center Of
the country. He looks forward sadly to
the day when vast steel interests viii
be something unknown to Pittsburg
He even goes so far as to say that the
city is doomed as an Industrial center
unless the moneyed men get together
and save it.
"As far as the manufacture of steel
is concerned. Mr.. Frick is unquestionab-
~ right. The great seat of that in
dustry must be where the raw mater
ials-the iron ore, coke and limestone
can be assembled at the least cost. and
where the facilities for the distribu-
ton of the finished material leave moth
ing to be desired. The prime advant-
age Of South Chicago or of Gary is
that ore can be put down there at less
cost than at Pittsburg. The steel men
of that city have done much and are
doing more to reduce the cost of trans
portation Of ore to their furnaces. but
they cannot bring it down low enough
to permit them to compete successful
ly in the long run with their rivals on
the lake.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-06-07

But while gradually the scepter Will
depart from Judah, as far as steel max
ing is concerned in all probability 9TH
er and more profitable industries will
take It's place. Pittsburg would remain
a great steel city if its hosts of in
dustrious and skilled artisans were to
take the raw steel shipped there from
other points where it could be made
at less cost and convert it into tools
and implements Of all kinds. 1t might
easily become a greater Sheffield.
There would be less for unskiIled labor
to do in the city itself and the manu-
featuring district of which it is the cen
ter, but there would be much more for
skilled labor to do. The exodus of the
Huns and Slavs, of whom there are so
many there now, would not be altogeth-
er deplorable.
Before long Gary will leave Pitts
burg in the rear as a producer of raw
steel, rails, and structural steel. Its
activity probably Will be confined to
that Its rivalry with Pittsburg will
end there. There is no reason why Mr..
Fricl and his fellow magnates should
be disturbed about the future Of Pitts
burg The escapades of some of its
millionaires and the dishonesty of its
public officials have hurt the reputa-
ton of the city, but it's industrial pros
perity is in no danger"

next legislature he is certain of re-
election. And this makes it certain,
also. that Senator Beveridge is not go
ing to do anything that Will in any
manner stir up any trouble in his own
party. There is no question that he
is stronger today. not only in his own
party. but with all parties, In Indiana
than he has ever been. He is right
on the tariff question. He is doing
exactly what the people of Indiana
would have him do" said one Tepub-

people of Indiana are for q downward
revision of the tariff. They We're prom
ised such revision last campaign. Sen
ator Beveridge is doing his best TO
bring it about land if the effort fails

That is aboutt what one hears on all
sides.
While the republican leaders them
selves admit that the party has re-
received some hard joltS they do not
regard the situation as anywhere
near so serious as the democrats
make out. The REPUBLICAN party has
the faculty of recovering from defeat
and coming back stronger than ever,
and the leaders fpoint to this fact as
proof that wheni the time comes next
year the party will be I'm as good
shape as ever.

Indianapolis. Ind, June THE dem
ocrats of Indiana are figuring strongly
on carrying the state at the state cleo
tion next year. They say the repub
lican party in Indiana IS all shot to
pieces, and that it cannot recover in
time to win next year. In support of
this contention they point to the wide
split in the republican ranks over the
liquor question which, they say, can
not be healed, and to the efforts on the
part of some of the republican leaders
of the state TO revive the old faction
al differences that tore the party to
pieces for several years. The demo-
Gratis say the very fact that Senator
Beveridge is TO be a candidate for re-
election at the next session of the leg
islature Will call forth opposition from
the other faction that has always OPP
posed him. and that this split will
cause trouble in the ranks of the par
ty.
Democrats Claim Everything In Sight.
Democrats are not willing to admit
that the party will be as unanimously
in favor of the reelection of Senator
Beveridge, as the leaders are promis-
ing They say that it will be a case
of double cross, that win remind
one of the old days when the double
cross was the thing. They say the two
factions of the republican party in Indi-
ana cannot get together except in a
scrap.
This belief has embroidered the demo
Gratis, and they are already claiming
everything in sight for next year. They
say they will elect their state ticket. a
majority of the legislature. and that
they Will carry several of the repub-
! lican counties. OF course. this is only

decided that, in view of the fact that
Indiana Harbor has had q celebration
Of some kind every 4th for a number
of years, that times have been a trife
hard for the past year and half, and
also that the business men have been
solicited frequently of late. that the
best policy would be to forego any
general celebration this year. 1t was
also pointed out thaS as a number Of

that the people do a little visiting on

A motion was then made and carried
that the club make no attempt at a
carnival this year, which disposed of
the question.
