So may the Lord be thankful"
At the celebration of Bobby Burns
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary,
last night. by the st. Andrews society
of Gary. Senator Benjamin F. ShiveIy
gave the Gary Commercial club the
credit, in part, for placing him in his
present position. They did not do this
exactly" said Senator Shively, but
they made the task easy, and it is for
this reason that the city of Gary will
ever have a warm spot in my heart"
The banquet last night was a big
success. Over one hundred members
of the society and other invited guests
were present to do honor to the MEM
DRY of the Immortal Bard" and well
come Mr.. Shively. The new senator
arrived in Gary in the afternoon and
was accompanied through the wonder
full sights of the steel mills.
The guests last night were late in
gathering and 1t was o'clock before
they were seated at the tables. As
Mr.. Shively entered the room all pres
ent rose to their feet and loudly cheer
ed him He was placed at the head
table with the other speakers of the
evening. Owing TO the latenes s0f the
hour several of those appearing on the
program, namely, Thomas E. KNOTS,
Representative w. H. Kliver and John
A Brennan, were compelled to leave
for Indianapolis shortly after 10
o'clock.
shiveIy Makes Short Address.
The address OF Mr.. Shively was NOT
a long one, but he marveled at the won
ders of the new steel city and of its
growth He told of the ancient cities
of Carthage and Rome and said they
hourished in material things only. Not
so with Gary. What has made Gary
what it isl said Mr.. Shively, SIS that
it has built churches. school houses and
hospitals, and greater than all these
things is the universal brotherhood OF
man to be found here" Mr.. Shively
closed his address predicting great
/ things for Gary.
The rest of the program was carried
out without a hitch and 1t was nearly
l o'clock when those assembled left for
