Mercy! It was Hoke Smith who pre-
vailed on Senator John B. Gordon to reverse
the principles of life time and to vote for
the denomination of silver. It was Smith
who upheld the Gold-standard, in series of
debates with Speaker Crisp. It was Smith
who stole from Ben Blackburn the reward
for having been the original "Cleveland
Man" in Georgia.
The spectacle of Hoke Smith carrying out
Bryan policies in the u S. Senate, will be
watched with deep attention. In the mean
time, we would like to know what the Bryan
policies, of 1911, are. We know what he
stood for in 1892. It was Tariff reform. We
know what he advocated in 1896. It was
Free Silver. We know where he was in
1900. Free Silver and anti-imperialism.
Then, in 1904, Judge Parker was his "Moses,"
and the Gold Standard his medicine In
1908, it was governmental guaranty of bank
deposits.
But where, oh where, does w. J. B. stand
now? What are his policies?
And why doesn't Smith begin, at once, to
labor for those policies?
Smith is our Governor; Smith is our Sen
ator; Smith is our guiding-star, our hope, our
refuge, our inspiration, our pig-puzzle, our
dope
Why, oh why? does he not rush to Wash
ington and carry out those Bryan policies?
[ don't know what they are, but am willing
to learn. please don't clip this, and mail
it to my old crony, Macintosh, of Albany,
Ga.)

Has a national interest just now, hence
these remarks.
Not long ago, the Hon. W. J. Peerless came
down to our commonwealth to gather up
few more Sheckels AS he grows older, and
his head gets balder, w. j. B. becomes in
creasingly fond of ducats. Therefore, when
my genial, enterprsing and optimistic friend,
;. K: Brldges-the Alkahest man, you know
= offered Peerless $500 apiece for each repe-
tition of his sermon on Christ, Peerless
cinched the deal, When the little towns of
Georgia had been duly sermonized by Peer
less, at $500 preach, the silver-tongued went
his way rejoicing while Bridges wore the ex-
preston of an "also ran" Ct know the ex-
preston, for I've worn it myself, once or a
dozen times.
Well, what started out to say was this:
While spell-binding my old friend Macin-
tosh and other devotees, down at Albany,
Bryan said he wanted Hoke Smith elected to
the U. S. Senate, in order that Smith might
carry out his-Bryan's-policies. p"

What Has Congress Done?

The Democrats have an absolute ma ority
in the lower House. In the Senate, they and
the Insurgents together, have a ma ority.
What have they done? With impetuosity,
they dismissed few minor employees, includ-
ing the little girl who is the daughter Of the
hapless former Doorkeeper
This mighty triumph for Reform was loud
ly bruited, from sea to sea.
There, our valorous hosts stuck Since the
glorious oustlng of that little girl, the ban
ners of Reform have not advanced an ell.
When the motion was made to save the peo-
pie the enormous mileage paid to our national
Solons, they sternly voted it down. Ten
cents a mile, a-comin' and a-gwine, they must
have, whether they ride on free passes or not
Even though they raised their own salaries
from $4,000 year to 81 500, they must not be
expected to paw their own fare In addi-
ton to the $4,000 raise in pay, they need the
10 cents a mile
Has any Trust been busted? Nope Has
any trust-made product been placed on the
free list? Not yet Has that rascally Wicker
sham been impeached! Nav. Has Taft been
asked why he allows the Morgan Guggen-
helm syndicate to rule his administration?
Scat
What, then, is Congress doing? Making
speeches, which nobody hears or reads; SPAR
ring for position in the next campaign; and
working the newspaper correspondents for all
they are worth.
If you follow the Special" of the "Wash-
ington correspondent" you will believe that
Congress is swirling creation around by the
tail.
If you look for actual results you won't see
any.

FARMERS WATCH
MARKET MOVEMENT

Lake and Porter county farmers and
truck gardeners and the housewives of
Gary are watching with interest the
move to start a municipal market for
Gary. The South Side Commercial
club is back of the movement and one
of its members, Attorney William
Matthews, is drafting an ordinance
which will be presented at the next
session of the common council.
The following from the Joliet News
tells of the success of the Joliet mar
ket sales on Saturday:
In the number Of wagons. number of
purchasers and volume of business
done the municipal market today broke
all records. Seventy wagons of pro-
duce were the lot before o'clock.
while the gain in the number of pur-
chasers was more than 100 per cent
The result was the shopper who failed
TO visit the market before 1890 found
few farmers on the lot and was COM
PEELED to patronize the peddlers, the
majority of the. farmers and struck
raisers having disposed OF everything
they had brought to the market and
started for home.
The number of chickens on the mar
l<et was more than double that offered
Thursday. but the supply was soon ex-
hausted. although prices were material
~ higher. The fowls were all choice
ones and while some brought 90 cents,
the majority of the farmers had weigh
ed the fowls before leaving home and
asked at the rate of Is cents a pound
live weight. The demand kept the
prices high.
In apples. vegetables and garden
truck the prices showed practically no
change from those of past market days.
with the exception that a slight drop
was noticed in potatoes. prices ranging
from SIS to 80 cents. The usual heap
ing measure was given by the farmers
and this was an extra inducement to
the shoppers
Hundreds were on the grounds who
had never paid it visit before, show

pressed over the assortment which
was offered. while qualification was
shown over the freshness of the veg

talk to be heard Of the necessity OF

Western Canada Beats All

The world is a rather old place for
anything new TO happen in. but out in
Western Canada there is a wonderful
condition of affairs which could not
have existed in any other than this
modern year of 1911.
Otner new countries have been de-
veloped before. but with comparative
slowness, because the railroads have
been slow to extend their lines, but in
Canada things are not done that way.
When they once start they never stop
until the job Is done and the tremen-
dous energy and wealth of the people
drive every project through with almost
increditabe speed.
Consider the new Grand Trunk Pacific

CHILD FORCED TO
LOSE ONE EYE
Unusual Operation on Indi-
ana Harbor Child Takes
Place Yesterday.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct. 10.--A seri-
Gus and rather unusual operation was
performed on the infant child of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Black of Drummon1
street last Sunday. The subject of the
operation was Katherine. aged two
years and four months. and the opera
ton was the removal of an eye. This
was made necessary by a membraneoas
growth over the diseased eye. which
threatened transmission to the other
optic.
Not long ago the child was taken to
DR.. Faith in South Chicago. in the hope
that the growth could be removed, thus
restoring the eye to it's normal condi-
ton. This was found to be impossible.
however. the specialist announcing that
the removal of the eve was impera tive.
The growth was found TO contain d
great many pneumonia germs. a condi-
ton quite unusual. The missing eye
will be replaced by a glass one soon
as the baby is able to wear It. This
will probably be within four or five
weeks. In the meantime the child IS
doing nicely.

the forge and machine shops The in
stallation in the rivet shop consists of
10-ton crane having a 40-ft. span. A
large receptacle is mounted on this
crane and when it is filed with rivets
the load is moved to the proper storage
bin and discharged. In the punch and
shearing department gantry cranes on
12-ft tracks span the hydraulic rivet-
ers. those serving the 100ton riveters
having a capacity of 40 tons while those
handling the output of Cotton riveters
have but 15-tons capacity. One of the
special features of the crane Installa-
tion is the use of a lotion 40-ft. span
travelling crane which is intended 20
move machinery and a 5-ton 60-ft.
travelling crane has been installed in
the forge shop to take the place of the
old type hand hoists A 25-ton crane
with a soft. span serves the main bay
of the machine shop. Working in CO.
operation with this large crane are p
ton revolving travelling jib cranes
which serve the machine tools. These
aer the only cranes in the plant which
were not supplied by the Cleveland
Crane & Engineering Company and
they We're designed and built by ths
American Bridge Company itself
The system of assembling hoists en-
ployed in the plant is worthy of special
mention. These hoists operate on
parallel 2o-ft runaways which extende j
not only through the shops but also
serve the transfer bay. The tracks for
these hoists are located so closely that
loads cain reach any part of the shop or
bay and a hoist ca n be transferred from
one runaway to another. In the north
ern end of the building there are two
lotion loft span travelling cranes
while the side bays are served by two
lotion cranes having the same span
AS an auxiliary to the crane system
there is an industrial railway system
Of 3-ft. gauge extending throughout the
entire plant. In designing this system
all grades were carefully provided for
and in the important departments there
are four tracks.-Iron Age

are parallel and run north and south
the shipping yard being at the former
end and the receiving yard at the latter.
The transfer bay, which is one of the
most important parts of the plant, is
located between the two main shops
and connects them at their central
points. The width of this bay is APP
proximately loo it. and ample floor
space for storage and a convenient
means of communication between the

CHARITIES
MEETING
Especial to THE TIMEs.)


East Chicago. Ind, Oct 10-There
will be meeting on Thursday even
ing at the city hall of the United Char
tiles. at which an effort will be made
to establish the young organization on
a firmer footing with the community.
great deal of interest has already
been shown in the society but it is de-
sirable that the public be further en-
frightened as to Its character and aims.
Incidentally a permanent secretary will
be selected, the latter to devote prac-
tically all OF his time to the work of
the United Charities. The committee
which has in hand the selection of
capable person for this important Of
flee. has number of names to submit.
The idea is to assemble a strong and
capable organization to take care of
the poor in a scientific manner, ac-
cording to the most up-to-date methods
employed in many of the larger cities
in caring for their fndigents. President
f. n. Canine wishes it understood that
the object of the United Charities is
not to interfere, but rather to Coop
crate in the work of organizations de-
voted to the work of charity. Its pur-
pose is in fact merely to unite all of
these organizations so that work un-
uertaken Dy one society Will not De
duplicated by another, a system which
makes paupers of the respectable but
unfortunate poor. rather than benefit
ing them. The United Charities indi-
vfdual function will be to relieve en-
Urgency cases of poverty. and to inves-
tigate and classify them, turning over
each case to the societies which come
into the organization, according as the
claims - the case warrant
The organization has already a con-
siderable fund to be used in this emer-
gency work and in paying the secre-
tary, about s225 having been cleared
a the ball game given last summer
under the auspices of the United Chari-
ties, while other moneys have been re-
ceived from subscribers acquired by
means of a recent circular letter sent
out in the name of the organization
Most of those who have thus far re-
sponded have sent in $40 donations,
but 81 is the membership fee and 81
subscriptions are gladly receive.
