The Evening journal the news would
undoubtedly have been exaggerated.
Perhaps few foolish citizens who do
not understand newspapers or the con-
ditions under which the news is print
ed would have said, How horribly
that yellow journal always exagger-
ates."
What did the so-called conservative
and careful morning newspapers do
with their accounts of this story?
The most cautious of them exagger-
ated the number of illed and of bodies
found by about 1000 per cent. Just
now official figures state that 81 bodies
have been recovered and that Sc are
missing, On Sunday morning the con-
sentative New York Tribune an
nounced that between $50 and a / 900
were killed. The Herald said $50 or
900. The Times said 900 were
dead. The other morning papers of
various kinds and stripes mistreated
the facts in the same way
As matter of fact they did not ex-
aggerate, they simply gave, as accu-
rately as they could at the time, the
facts as they were believed to be, not
by the excited survivors who talked
of thousands drowned, but careful,
thoughtful, trained news men.
We write this so that when some old
fogy who reads dead newspaper
talks to you about yellow journals, you
may understand that the word "yel-
low means alive"
When anything happens We tell you
what has happened as soon as we can.
We do not wait until the thing has
been published in an encyclopedia.
But from hour to hour we give you the
latest news and the latest estimate

WIPING OUT PARTY LINES

We have already commented on the
action of the four out of the five Ho-
bart township towns in ignoring party
lines in Tuesdays election. Those
four towns exhibit spirit of progress
that is sweeping through many Ameri-
can municipalities In other words
many people who are wearied of the
constant failures of municipal govern
ment will say that these four little
Lake county corporations are far ahead
of most cities and that they have al
ready adopted that which larger cities
will do later on. 1t is-the ignoring of
party lines In municipal government.
On Tuesday there were many So
ciallst mayors chosen. Over in
Lorian, Ohio, socialist executive was
elected. This city is very much like
our own Gary, Hammond, Whiting or
East Chicago. A steel town. it is
about the size of Gary or the latter
city, it has the same kind of people
and it has similar interests.
AS in other cities the people OF
Lorain chose the socialist not because
the majority of the voters have be-
come identified with that party but
because the old parties had been Civ
en- chance and had failed. In other
cities socialist was chosen eithe,
because he fought the paving brick
combine, the traction ring, the gas
and electric light crowd, or some far
ing abuse. The people had been de
ceived by corrupt democratic ringsters
or by corrupt republican ringsters
Honest men of both parties saw {
chance to down the rings and choose
the socialist party as vehicle. Blu
the chances are that in time the PEG
pie will weary if that party continue.
in power because from what histor,
has shown SO far neither the demo
Gratis nor republicans can claim an,
great laurels. Here in our own count,
we know too well the history of re
publican government in East Chicag,
and the results of democratic rule Ii
Gary. Socialism represents party in
terests and III the end will give NJ
more satisfaction.

1T WORKS BOTH WAYS.

There was a disastrous food in
Pennsylvania recently. Some gentle
manly criminals were maintaining a
deadly trap which in due course of
time was sprung with deadly effect.
You now the story. 1t is the usual
thing in America.
The unusual thing about this par.
ticular disaster is that you did not first
learn of it in this newspaper.
When the thing occurred The Even

the day.
Therefore, the first news of the dis
aster appeared in the morning papers

THE TELLER OF TALES.

ca Memory of Uncle RemusD
Somwhere from over the borderiand,
Came n wonderful Teller of Tales one
day;
And he walked with the children, hand
The children who followed him all
Who loved him the best. and who loved
The wonderful tales that he had TO tell.
For they listened, with eager ears that
heard
OF the we, wise rabbit. king of the
wood,
OF the banied fox, and each beast and
bird
That the children knew--for they
understood:
And ever they followed him, hand In
hand,
On his journey back to the borderland.
There the way begins, and the way
must end,
Tho his day was bright, and his sun
shone high,
And the waiting friends bade the part-
ing friend;
As he crossed the border. n last
goodbye.
oh, sad was the world that he had to
leave,
But most did the hearts of the children
gricve.
They have writ his name on their
hearts OF gold,
And ever they'll keep his memory
green,
Hut they tell each other the tales he
told
or the strange voolfolk, by the
world unseen:
For the Teller of Tales walks hand in
hand
With the children over the borderIspd,
Anne MCQUEEN.

IT was a big question in those
