A DAY IN GARY LAND
HEARD BY RUBE.

Since the Gary saloons have gone out
of business-that is some of them
there has been a great drop in the
price of pretzels.
And again the price of free lunch re-
mains about the same.
Oh! cheer up! 1t will only be a few
short weeks until you can lay out in
the hammock and let the mosquitoes
bite to their hearts content
The strike is over and now let the
building in Gary go on unmolested
A few more rain and the residents of
the Calumet river district will be able
to do their fishing out of the kitchen
window.
However, we shall all be of a CULVER
until 1t is finally decided who the can
didates for mayor in Gary are really
going to be.
Now that the Transfers strike is
over. the umpire with his three strikes
and your out" will take a main part
in the worlds doings.
Those people in Gary who are lucky
enough to have few shovelfuls of coal
left in the bin might come to a more
reasonable agreement with the icemar

game, we would be a whole lot surel
of 1t If we knew the score would re.

to prosecute the dealer who sells CT

THE CITY
George a Bad Boy.

George MescaIl. the 11year-old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Mescall. who live on
Adams street, near Fourteenth avenue,
was again arrested by the local po-
lice yesterday on a charge OF malicious
trespass. This is the third time that
the young man has been brought be-
fore the court, and, it is thought he
will now be sent to the reform school.
Meescan got mad at his parents be-
cause they reprimanded him and pro-
ceeded to break the wall in the house
by choping it with an axe. The case
will come up in Judge Townships court
today.

ALL and that he is not run
ming for anything else and will not run
for anything else as long as he is
governor of Indiana.
Some Timber in Shively.
If Indiana has a candidate for nomi-
nation for president on the democratic
ticket in 1912 1t may have two instead
of one. for there is a good deal of talk
down east of Senator Benjamin F.
shively for that honor. OF course, ev-
erybody takes off their hats to Gov
ernor Marshall for the victory he won
last fall, and he is far and away the
most prominent democrat in Indiana
lust now, from the viewpoint of the
entire country. And if here were to
get into the race for the nomination
for president he might line up the
state solidly for him-and again he
might not For he and Shively have
not trained together in the same school
Of politics. and Shively's following is
of the kind that would probably not
go to Marshall except as a matter of
state pride.
Marshall Gets Good Advertising.
some Of the New York papers are
saving nice things about Senator Shive-
". and they frequently use his name
in the list of presidential possibilities.
But there is not any good reason to
believe at this time that either Mar
shall or Shively will get into the game.
Presidential candidates are not chosen
that way anyhow. The democratic
candidate for president is generally
picked by Dick Croker. Charley Muir
ply. "Fingy" Connors and the rest of
the bunch in New York. assisted by a
similar bunch in other big cities. This
crowd has not yet announced that it
is FER" either Marshall or Shively for
anything They call them nice fellows
all right. and acknowledge that they
make good speeches, but when it comes
to picking out one of them for presi-
dent-weu they have not done any
thing along that line yet.
Governor Marshall is getting a lot
of good advertising out of his boon
for the presidency, and that is worth
something too. It will put him into
the highest councils of the party, ant
he will from now on be man tha'
| the other fellows must reckon with.

AT STATE CAPITAL.

=
Indianapolis, Ind, April 23.-The
south is interested in Governor Mar
shall. according to a dispatch from
Washington, and the democrats of that
part of the country have undertaken
10 study the man to see whether he is
presidential timber or not.
This fact came out when it was dis
covered that Congressman Moss of the
fifth Indiana district, recently sent to
Washington a large supply of printed
copies of Governor MarshalFs inaugur-
al address and of his first message to
the legislature after his Inauguration
Congressman Moss did this at the re-
quest of Senator John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, who told him after
Governor Marshall had been at Wash
ington that the democrats of the
south should keep their eye on Indi-
ana, because, ultimately, the choice of
the democratic party for the presiden-
cy will come from that state
Listen to senator williams.
Senator Williams is the big demo-
erat of the south, and his views and
opinions carry more weight than those
of any other southern democrat. The
south looks to him to lead the way in
party politics, so when he made this
remark. the southern congressman and
senators decided to see what was in
the governor of Indiana. They made
requests for copies of his addresses
and messages in order that they might
study them and find out whether he is
democrat of the old type, such as the
party used to contain. These requests
for copies of his speeches became SO
frequent. according to the dispatch
from Washington, that Congressman
Moss decided to try to comply with
| them. So he sent back to Indiana and
had a large supply Of printed copies
/ of the speeches and the inaugural ad-
dress forwarded to him for distribu-
ton among those who were asking fol-
them.
Marshall Says Nothing.
| The dispatch says that ever since
! the pamphlets arrived the democratic
| congressman, nearly all of whom are
from south Of Mason and Dixon's line
| have been reading them carefully anC
studying the utterances of Governor
Marshall on the issues of the day. AND
it is said that frequent favorable com
ment is heard among them.
| Governor Marshall, however. doei
not take any stock in the effort t
boost his name in the list of president

No greater contrast can be
found between the pOmp and
state of an European court and
the democracy of America than
to see the wife of the president
driving her own automobile In
the streets of Washington.

recently ordered by Mrs. Taft,

feur. She is often accompanied
by her son, Charlie, who has
also become quite proficient in
operating the car and frequently
drives it alone.
