VOTE FOR PROSPERITY.

Everything is set for one Of the
most prosperous years that the Calu-
met region has ever known The
Northwestern Iron company has pur-
chased its site ia Hammond and is to
commence the construction Of its
plant next spring
The Baldwin Locomotive Works
has also purchased land IN the region
at Calumet and it is expected that It'll
viii begin the erection of its plant in
the spring
There are scores Of other industries
in the region which viii soon be in
operation THE TIMES printed a list
of them some time ago which showed
that the potential industrial develop
ment OF the region calls for a popula-
tion Of $1,000 people in the next ten
years
Now one would think that with
this prospect that real estate activity
in the region would be tremendous. it
is hard to understand why 1t is that
in the face Of this wonderful indus
trial development that there IS SO
/ little actual activity
But Just stop to think. The men
who are back Of all Of these projects
know full wen how serious a menace
to business is the prospect Of the cleo
ton Of Woodrow Wilson, avowedly in
favor Of material reduction in the
tariff possibly free trade
They want TO wait and see how the
election comes out. They want to
know before they spend their millions
in the Calumet region whether there
is going to be a democratic or a re-
publican president
/ II Wilson is elected than there viii
be another long wait for the reason
that capital Will want to know just
to what extent the new president is
going to interfere with the tariff.
With such condition facing the
business interests of the country
With the industrial development Of
the Calumet region jeopardlzed by the
possibility Of a democratic president
it is hard to understand how a single
man with property interests in this
region could think Of voting anything
but the republican ticket.
The people OF this locality have the
alternative Of letting We'll enough
alone and continuing our growing
prosperity or Of substituting Wilson
for Taft and doubt for confidence in
business circles. A little more than
a week and the story viii be told.

WILSON AND PENSIONS.

To the Editor of the Bee, Being a
reader of the Bee. I would like space
in which to speak OF the letter writ
ten to Woodrow Wilson by Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, in which he asked
Mr. Wilson to state how he stood on
the pension question. His reply is as
follows:
will say in answer to your inquiry
as to pensions that I am very much
opposed to the great expense in the
increase of pensions am not in
favor of anyone drawing a pension
who is financially able to take care Of
himself. I am in favor Of all old
soldiers, who are not able to work and
have not means to take care of them
selves. being sent to the Soldiers
Home in the State in which they live
l think that all of those who are
able to take care of themselves should
be dropped from the rolls. II ] should
be elected I viii do all in my power
TO keep the expenses of the Govern
ment down TO the lowest notch. AS
TO the Confederate soldiers, I am In
favor of each State passing a bin to
pension all of those that are not able
TO take care Of themselves.
This was taken from a newspaper
printed in Georgia. --Omaha Bee.

There was a rousing suffragette

According to Louisville paper one

"Our cause is just and must tri-

lady cares to ask a question, I shall

that which is really suitable for
homes; and then the homemaker
should be aided in every proper way.
1.-THE timber and stone act should
be Immediately repealed, and also
the act authorizing the cutting OF
timber on mineral lands. They hold
a constant invitation to abuse and
to mere exploitation.
The public range can not be
properly administered under the ex-
listing law. 1t should be leased for
grazing purposes under the broad ad-
ministrative discretion of the secre-
tary of the interior, so that the leas.
es can be adapted to actual condi-
tions and the legitimate interests OF
the sheep and cattlemen. At present
the range it self is being destroyed
and both sheep and cattle men are
coming to the conviction that their
interests will be better subserved by
leasing law.
I'm fact, the enlarged application
of the leasing principle to me public
domain generally will, in my judy
ment, more effectively promote de-.
velopment and protect the public in
terest than the present system. Ger
tainly coal, oil, gas, asphalt, nitrate,
and phosphate lands can be more ap-
propriately developed by leasehold
than by the present system OF classi-
fication and sale of the fee which
prevails with respect to COAL"
In respect to such leasing in Alas
ka, the secretary recommends that
passage of a liberal but carefully
guarded leasing law for the develop
ment Of its mineral resources, and
especially for It's coal lands. Alas
ka's greatest resources are her min
erals and in the development of
these, the precious metals still hold
the predominant place. Careful con-
s1deration Of the provisions Of an ap-
propriate leasing law for the coal
lands of Alaska in being continued
through the director Of the bureau of
mines, with view to suggesting
such changes in or substitute for
bills on this subject which are now
pending in congress, as may be de.
sirable."
The proper administration and de-
velopment of Alaska can not be &C
complished under existing laws, the
secretary declares; wherefore, he
urges also the construction by the
government of central trunk-line
railroad from tidewater to the Ia
mana and Yukon; the reservation of

"The whole subject of water power
development and control should. IN
my Judgment, receive the immediate

secretary, land constructive legisla-
ton should be adopted without fur
Their delay. believe the federal gov
eminent has adequate constitutional
power to control water power deVels
opment both in navigable streams
and upon the public domain and to
exact compensation and to impose
proper conditions in either case. 1t
is apparent that the federal govern
ment can act more effectively than
the states in many cases. No cor
rect of permanent solution Of the wa,
ter power question can be reached
until the interests of the state anu
Of the nation have been reconciled.
The federal government should not
part with any of it's constitutional
powers. Their exercise is certain in
the future to become essential to the
protection of the public interest,""
1t is unsound both In principle and
in practice, he says, that permits for
the developments Of water power are
revocable at any time at the will OF
the administrative officials.
He concurs in the recommendation
Of a specially appointed board whic1l
suggested the appointment of an In
ternational Colorado River Commits
sion, to be composed of American and
Mexican engineers, to work out the
treatment of that problem.
A modern and properly equipped
building for the patent office, addi-
tional mine safety cars for the bu-
reau of mines, the reestablishment
of the board of pension appeals, an
increased resources for federal bu-
reau of education to carry on its
work, are among the other recon- J
mendations in the report.
The secretary calls attention anew
to the Inconsistent manner in which
the work Of the government has been
divided among the interior, agricul-
tural and commerce and labor de.
partments.' The patent Office, he
says, should be under the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
