UNCLE SAM BUSY.

Early in 1909 a coterie of Gary sa-
ioonmen, ifty-rhree in all. came into
the city court and pleaded guilty of
conducting blind pigs Thereupon
Mayor Knots, city judge at the time.
imposed fine and sentenced them to
six months in the county prison. The
fine was paid, but the sentences were
suspended by the mayor and although
the defendants had been indicted bv
the grand jury on blind pig charges
they were thus enabled to go into the
circuit court and plead previous
jeopardy. And they got away with it.
! The mayors immunity bath seemed
potent charm even against the ac-
tivities of the attorney general who
claimed that the mayor had no right
to suspend sentence and who sought
to mandate his honor to issue mittim-
us papers and consign the guilty men
to Jail. But the case dragged on and
in time new attorney general came.
and although it is still pending in the
Porter county circuit court docketsand
is booked for the October term. the
chances are that the new attorney
general will not push it, So. to all in
tents and purposes the clever strategy
enacted in the mayors court nearly
two years ago has worked we'll.
But yesterday there arose a new
spectre. Government secret service
men came to town and looked up the
records of the convicted blind pig

Judge. and in such an event there
will be closing party at some Gary
saloons.
All of which goes to show that state
laws in Indiana may be spat upon, but
when the wires cross the federal
statutes it will be found that the gov
eminent has a long arm and that its
officials have even longer memories.

DENOUNCE RECALL.

Initiative, referendum and recall
were termed the weapons of mobocra-
cy by Archbishop Ireland, the great
Catholic prelate, in an address at the
banquet of the Army of the Tennessee
recently.
After relating the story of the max
ing of the democratic government
after the revolutionary war Archbish-
op Ireland said:
Democracy, yes; mobocracy. never.
And towards mobocracy we now are
hidden to wend our way. The Shib.
boleths of the clamor you know.-the
initiative, referendum, the recall put
into general practice, as the evange-
lists of the new. Social gospel fain
would have them-are nothing more or
less than the madness of democracy
With the initiative and referendum.
Legislative bodies become mere
bureaus of registration and exchange
for popular views and opinions.
The perils of the recall are shown
when it is extended to the judiciary.
If ever independence from popular
clamor is imperiously demanded. ii is
when men are hidden to speak in the
name of supreme justice. regardless

ATTACK ON STEEL TO FAIL

United States Steel stock has shown
conclusively that it can come back
After the sensational drop of several
points last week following the an
nouncement of the commencement of
legal attack on the company bv the
United States government the stock
OF this unjustly maligned company
showed remarkable resiliency and has
now regained all that it had lost II
even promises to go higher than it was
before the government struck its
blow.
There can be but one explanation
OF this remarkable feat. 1t is that the
majority of the stock holders of the
company believe that the government
viii fail in this suit and that the Unit
ed States Steel Co. will be more
strongly intrenched than ever.
The United States Steel Co. has been
favorite object of attack in the
newspapers and magazines on account
OF it's enormous capitalization and If
sometimes seems, for no good and
sufficient reason.
But under the able management of
Judge Ebert II. Gary the corporation
long ago foresaw that it would some
day be forced to defend its policy. In
its conduct OF the business it has ac-
cordingly refrained from doing those
things that have put other companies
in public disrepute
II is safe to say that there is not an
other large corporation possessing the
power and influence of the United
States Steel corporation that has been
so liberal towards its competitors.
When the Independents cut prices
the steel trust maintained them. When
the steel trust thought that its leas-
fngs of ore lands might take on the
appearance of monopoly of the raw
product on account of their very size.
IL promptly cancelled it's leases.
The company has done everything
possible to conform to the require
ments of the government under the

THEY WON'T MIX.

When former Vice President Charles
W. Fairbanks pleads for more religion
in business and more business in re-
igion he evidently is of the opinion
that there is little religion in business.
The Rochester Sentinel points out,
however. that apparently Mr.. Fair
banks thinks there is little religion in
business, but he must be quite mis-
taken. j. Pierpont Morgan is the lead
ing layman of the Protestant Episco-
pal church and for more than twenty
years has been deputy from the do
cese of New York to the general con-
vention. John D. Rockefeller is the
best known Baptist in the United
States. The Catholic church owes its
beautiful cathedral at Richmond to
Thomas F. Ryan. Jacob II. Schiff
founded the Jewish Theological semin-
airy in New York city Wall street in
general is now engaged in financing
great revival movement to lead sin
ners to repentance. Ordinary bust
ness may be deficient in religion, but
Big Business is saturated with 1t.
If there is anything on earth, how
ever. that will mix like religion and
business, it is oil and water and Mr..
Fairbanks is old enough to know it.

SELLING LOTS FOR TAXES.
To the Editor:


would like to learn why a NUM-
cipaiity cannot conduct its business as
any live mercantile concern would do
Some weeks ago / was informed
through the mail, by judgment brok-
err. that two lots which I own in Toll
lesion. Ind. had been sold for taxes.
have owned these lots since 1890 and
have mailed my taxes regularly to the
county clerk al Crown Point, Ind and
receipts for them were returned by
mall At the time I was notified Of
the sale of my lots l held a receipt for
the county taxes for the past year
Tolleston, 1t develops. was annexed to
Gary about two years ago and a special
tax levy of $1,000 a lot was made by
Gary. With court costs. attorneys
fees, etc, 1t cost me 1856 to redeem
each lot.
When a mercantile establishment
takes over the business OF another
nrm 1t of course secures record OF
the addresses OF all its former Gus
toners. and 1t seems to me that there
is no valid reason why a municipality
could not follow the same procedure
IL such had been the case the town of
Gary would have secured my address
from the county clerk at Crown Point
and thus acquired It's tax levy promptly
ana saved me from paying n penalty
Would not such procedure be much
cheaper for the city and great deal
more satisfactory to the taxpayer than
advertising his delinquency in some OBJ
scure paper? Or are these antediluvian
methods retained for the benefit of fee
grabbers and Judgment brokers?1
