THE COURAGE OF THE MASS.

Men act nobly together in situa-

cowardly.
1t is on exactly the same principle
that in business or politics men are
often dishonest in the mass where
nearly all individually are true
hearted and fair.
The same force that holds men to-
gether courageously in a crowd is
what fills hearts with screaming.
CHASTITY. indescribable terror in a
panic.
This force is mass psychology.
In all this fearful Titanic business
one man, unnamed in the early re-
ports, gave honest expression to this
feeling.
He was a man who was left on the
| ill-fated vessel after the life boats
had all gone, who leaped into the sea
and was picked up two hours late,
clinging to some chairs.

her so much more than when she work

These are but two examples of the

CALUMET AVENUE OPENING.

Now that the Schlesinger Steel Co.
has located in Hammond the barn
acles who argued that there was no
use in opening Calumet avenue must
be compelled to sit up and take
notice
Calumet avenue will receive the
greatest benefits from the location of
the new plant. 1t is the street which
above all others will be developed in
to great east side business
thoroughfare.
1t is fortunate that the project to
widen the street came at the time it
did. Had no steps been taken until
now the project would never have
been carried out
Furthermore had 1t not been for
the fact that the agitation in favor of
opening tbs street through to Rob
ertsdale and widening it the proba-
biIity is that the plants site would
have extended over Calumet avenue
and would have resulted in forever
closing it to the public.
The whole future of the east side
In Hammond depends on this open
ing and widening project. If that
part of Hammond is cut off from the
north the only part of Hammond that
will amount to anything will be the
business district at Holman and
State streets.
This would make a lop-sided town
and would prevent the uniform de.
velopment of the whole city This
prospects now are that Calumet ave.
nue. will become as important a bust
ness street as Holman street now is
and that State and Sibley streets will
be the business thoroughfares tina,
will connect the two.
| A stitch in time has saved nine and
now the property owners along Calu
met avenue are ready to take full ad
vantage of the boom that will come
to the city as a result of the locatins
of the big plant They have some
thing in prospect to point to.

How much energy do you think
most of use up in actual work, act
ually accomplishing things compared
with the amount use up in trying
to get along with difficult people, in
combating crochets, in looking out for
sharp corners of dispositions, in har-
monizing inharmonious people. and in
general fretting lest we may not please
or satisfy someone in some respect?
For a woman, l should put the pro-
portion at about one to one.
For a man, perhaps less energy is
utilized in this way. Somehow men
don't seem to be expected to look out
for other peoples crochets and please
everybody in quite the same way wo-
men are.
The women I spoke OF at the begin
ming dissipated her energy fretting lest
she should be a little bit late.
Perhaps you've done that.
But IL you haven't. surely you have
dissipated energy in worrying lest
someone or other would not be salts
fed with what you were doing.

THE TENDENCIES OF THE TIMES

The reasonable fear of many that a
third term means a fourth term and
that a fourth term would lead to a
fifth term and that fifth term would
inevitably result in dictatorship or
a monarchy is not subject to he
dismissed without consideration.
With the fate of Rome and OF
France in mind the possibility of an
American king or emperor has been
discussed
While We have been taught to be-
lieve that our institutions are too
stable for such a possibility yet
other republics have had their kings
despite their stability.
And while the vast majority is of
a republican mind there are those in
this land who would welcome a
monarchy. To that great bulk of
our population that is foreign born
monarchial things would make no
great difference. The growth OF
swollen fortunes, the encouragement
of class hatred, the disposition to re-
blood, the tendency to wed fortunes
to foreign titles. the rise of the PRIV
LEGGED classes, the increase of the idle
rich, the more freer mingling of the
aristocracy with the functions of the
European courts, and capitalistic de-
velopment undreamed of twenty
years ago. are signs which the close
student of the times cannot pass
lightly by Corporate oppression, tn;
growth of radicalism, the increase il
the cost of living. violence in th,
labor ranks, the high position accord
ed demagogues and their influence

over a great element of the popula-
ton, graft seated in the council halls
of the merest village as well as in the
confines of the nations senate, the
attack upon the court and the consti-
tuition, worldwide disturbances and
the overturning of long established
institutions have created much I'M
rest. These things pave the way for
new and unlocked for conditions.
Yet just as great to be feared is
Hardly a day goes by unless keen f.
nancial writer's dwell upon the irrit-
ability caused by our unsettled condi-
lions, a great contributory cause of
Dental elections. Some relief for
this, but it only serves to show which
way the wind is blowing, is seen in
the favorable way in which the ma
tional congress and the legislatures
of the several states have viewed the
measure to have a six-year term for
the president and making him in
eligible for reelection. In the minds
OF the financial interests this would
effect a great reform and would be n
step toward securing a greater con-
tinuance of stability in business con-
ditions than obtain at the present
time. IL six years would accomplish
this why not eight, ten, twelve or
even more?
Without doubt monarchy
would be welcomed by the financial
buiwarks of this country and of
Europe. There could be no mon
|archy or dictatorship unless it sup
ported it and it would give no sup
port unless it were based on its own
terms. So, an ambitious man of the
required talent. who could control
the popular will and who would he
willing to barter would not be with
out the wherewith.
Elimination of those business dis.
turbances that are now occasioned By
our presidential elections would be
strongly welcomed in the high coun-
ellis of our commercial activities and
it would be the answer to the prayer
and cherished wishes of the foreign
holders of our securities, who view
with concern the present periodica
upheavals. which have but one result
the depreciation of values and the
lessin gof dividends.
| 1t will be contended that a mon
archy or a dictatorship at this time
is too remote possibility but it SHOULD
be borne in mind that 1t is potential
probability however small the meas
ure of potentiality is. The observer
of men and aairs now finds traces O
new an dstartling tendencies, which
increase with time.

ANOTHER BEAT.

THE TIMES scored another of its
notable beats yesterday. In its one
o'clock edition the Calumet region
was given the news of the location oil
an eleven million dollar industry in
Hammond hours before any other
paper appeared. Even then some oil
the daily papers in the Calumet dis,
trict didn't carry the story and nc
other newspaper but this carried al
the vital news features of the story
such as the conditions imposed, OIL
which hinges the construction of thS
plant. The story created a great
sensation and solidified the sentiment
that nothing can stop this great in
dustrial territory and that if you
want news of the district you mus
