TO BE GARY's BUSINESS STREET.

An interesting little conversation
overheard by a representative OF this
paper yesterday as to the relative
merits of Broadway and Fifth avenue
as the future business street of Gary.
1t furnishes much food for reflection
While many people are firm in
their belief that Broadway will al
ways remain the most prominent
business street in Gary there are
those of a different opinion and yet
it must be agreed on one point,
Broadway will always hold a vantage
as a business center in the first sub
division and until conditions change
south of the Wabash that part OF
Gary can never hope to become q
prominent part of Broadway.
Fifth avenue has everything in its
favor as the coming business street
of Gary. The Gary Land Company
in it's wisdom is Withholding the sale
of Fifth avenue property until such
time when there will be demand
for business buildings. In this way
when that time arrives the purchases
will be protected and realize a ready
income through the rental of his
of his building, coupled with this he
will erect better and bigger build
ing than If there was no demand for
business storerooms.
In this way Fifth avenue will be
built up steadily and substantially.
BY the end of the present year Fifth
avenue west, will be improved solid
from Broadway to Jefferson street.
There are several reasons why
Fifth avenue has improved so ma
terially in the last year. A year ago
but very few people traversed Fifth
avenue The Y. NJ c. A. building
has brought a great change. The
completion of the library building
will also mean much, but the great
drawing card will be the erection OF
the federal building and postoffice
which will bring business to ths
doors of the merchant no matter
where it is located.
Another change has taken place
north of Fifth avenue. New resi-
dences and fat buildings are spring

scented to the convention. Instead OF
forcing a clear issue between pro-
gressiveness and standpatism through
a vote on the platform, the Roosevelt
forces merely sought to discover who
was for Roosevelt and who was not,
and finding that the latter were con-
siderably in the majority, they sat
dumb In their seats and gave no help
during the balance of the conven-
tion."

THINK IT OVER.

I'VE are obeying the voice of our
commander" says a Roosevelt sup
porter.
In other words you are obeying
your boss.
For the sake of argument let us
suppose that Roosevelt were to die
whom would you obey then?
What is there left of this third
party talk but Roosevelt? If he were
gone what other leader? What
principles would you stand for?
Isn't it a case of MAN not prin-
ciples?
Think it over!

WHAT A LAFOLLETE MAN SAYS.

1t may be taken for granted that If
there was anyone who might feel
that he was knocked out in the re-
publican national convention it
would be Senator Lafollette.
Not SO.
1t is Col. Roosevelt who is doing
the shouting that he was robbed
embellished with a number of
vitriolic adjectives.
Was Roosevelt robbed?
Gilbert E. Roe former law partner
of Senator Lafollettes attended the
convention. He is a progressive re-
publican of progressives. He went
to Washington to report on the con-
vention to Lafollette.
Here is what he says We COM
mend it to thoughtful republicans:
In the first place, if 1 were to
give you a hot-off-the-ba impression
of Colonel Roosevelt's behavior to-
ward the progressives it would be
that he fully demonstrated that
there can not be any forward move
ment of the progressive cause under
Roosevelt leadership.
Roosevelt with the aid of few
| followers as mad as himself, sue
ceeded in suppressing the issue con-
corning the progressive platform and
filled the air so full of noise concern
| ing stolen delegates as to make IL
appear that this wholly false issue
was the real issue before the con-
vention.

I was attending a session of the Gre
dentials committee and you will see
how shallow is the cry of fraud made
against the committees integrity. 4
man came in with pile of affidavits
/ that he could hardly carry, there
were SO many of them. He shouted
lot of assertions, and said the proof
of all he said would be found in the
affidavits. Another man arose, and
in language consistent with the par
| liamentary practice ,intimated that
all the man had said who had just
finished was utterly false, and that
this man would not tell the truth II
he could, and could not if he would

and return home and see if his
wife was a flirt or not.
Hitchcock bought a fine soup
sieve of black mustache, and
fixed it on his upper lip. Then he
went out and boarded a Went
worth avenue car.
On that car was Detective Jul
ian Bernacchi, of Schuettler's
gambling squad. Bernacchi was
busy detecting.
Bernacchi saw Hitchcock get
on the car. He noticed the soup
mop, and he saw that it was false.
"Ahap he said, zone of them
there bank robbers. Now what
shall / do? Shall l trail him to
where he has the hidden plumber,
or shall l arrest him now?
eff l trail him, he may lead me
into a trap like them robbers did
Burns, and if l arrest him now I
may never be able to find where
the plumber is. What, oh what
shall l do?"
Since Bernacchi was saying all
this to himself, there came no an
swer, not even an inspiration.
By slow and painful processes,
Bernacchi made up what he calls
his mind. Then he walked up to
Hitchcock, and snagged the mus
tache off.

prisoner" said Bernacchi.

.bers," Kissed Bernacchi. "I'Ye got
you covered. Come with me. And
now for the $4,000 reward"
Bernacchi marched his peevish
prisoner to Central Detail, where
he carelessly handed him over to
the desk sergeant.
Zone of them bank robbers
you're looking for" was the easy
way he introduced Hitchcock to
the sergeant.
Hitchcock proved he was the
son of Rev. John D. Hitchcock
of Covington, and told his story.
Nevertheless, as Bernacchi says
today:
swell, he might have been one
of the mbank robbers anyhow"
