AN IDEAL SHATTERED.

Saturday his excellency. the German
ambassador, visited our neighbor, Chi
cago. According to the Daily News,
published in that fair village, His col
lar was pink, his shirt light blue and
his cravat a darker shade of the same
color. His shoes, as has been noted,
were a peculiar shade of yellow"
Despite the Daily News reputation
for veracity good many people will
think that the reporter who wrote the
story about his excellency, must have
had a few gin rickeys topped off with
dashes of creme de violet and Jamaica
rum.

GOOD OLD LAKE COUNTY.

There is little doubt but what if the
republicans down state had been organ
ICED like the Taft men in Lake and
Porter counties there would be no
doubt about the result in Indiana to-
day. A fragrant instance of going to
sleep occurred even in the Tenth dis
trict, however, when a number of pre-
cincts in Lafayette defaulted to Roose-
velt simply because there was absolute
ly no Taft organization at all The
Roosevelt men were wide awake, "on
the job" every minute. His honor,
Mayor Durgan. gave them every aid in
his power and as result Tippecanoe
went for Roosevelt. Lake county
never gets much recognition in state,
yet she always comes to bat with the
life-preserver as far as the republican
party is concerned.

BOG ORE IN GARY.

Some people in Gary are quite ex-
cited over the finding of iron ore in
the Little Calumet marshes. That
there is ore in the county has long
been a we'll known fact. Iron ore of
this character. or bog ore as 1t is gen.
marshy region. There are also hun
dreds of deposits of 1t in the Kanka-
kee valley but it is not found in
quantities to give it a commercial
value. Analyses of the local bog
ores show that In some respects 1t
approaches the grades used at Gary
and Indiana Harbor but upon the
whole it does not measure up to the
In Germany ore with constituents
similar to American bog ore is in
much demand but in this country
steelmasters have not been reduced to
the necessity OF using low grade ores
and even If they had to resort to such
contingencies a modern blast furnace
company would find bog ore mining
improbable.
Ever since the county was settled
farmers along the marshes have lost
their tempers when they found an ore
vein in their pumpkin patches How
ever, it is interesting to recall thai
in the early days OF northwestern In.
diana farmers of the Kankakee
marshes used to haul a wagon load
of bog ore to where the city OF Mis-
hawaka now stands. In the early
forties there was a blast furnac.
There and the ore was exchanged To-
nails, staples. hardware, etc. witt
the advent of the railways the Pitts
burg iron market found its way int
these parts and the bog ore bias

tions, passed into history

NEED OF A PULMOTOR.

Seeing what good the pulmotor is ac-
complishing in Chicago, what lives it
is saving, why not have one for use in
Lake county? Many a life would be
saved If this machine were available
in cases of gas poisoning, smothering
drowning and kindred accidents.
There is no place in the world where
SO many accidents occur that result
fatally through lack of this equip
ment. A movement to get pulmotor
and have it located at some central
and convenient point in the Calumet
region, if every city cannot have one
would be mark OF credit to the re
gion.

THE WATERWAY MEETING.

Commercial Lake County is making
its initial bow to Cook county today
and having made its bow and shaken
hands the two back off into their re-
spective corners and await the sound
of the gong that will start the fight
with the best brains of the city of
Chicago in the meeting which is be-

United States army engineers.
For the first time in the history of
the region well organized and
splendidly equipped delegation will
advance the cause of Lake county's s
waterways and will be prepared II
combat the strongest arguments of
the Chicago boosters.
The initiative came from the Indi-
ana Harbor commercial club, a
splendid organization which is doing
much for the twin cities, and the
people of Hammond have shown q
desire and a willingness to follow the
lead of this city in its plans foI
waterway development.
Some of the best minds in Ham,

and Indiana Harbor on a plan of at

THE ONLY FAILURE.

Failure never counts until it reaches
inside and strikes at the heart
History has written indelibly the
names of thousands of men who have
failed and tried again; and the souls
of the brave have gone marching on,
times without number. after their
bodies have registered failure.
When failure means simply lack of
attainment, the courageous man labels
1t experience" and contents himself
with Josh Billings philosophy that
Success duz not konsist on never
maxim mistakes, but of never maxim
the same on twict."
It is only when failure strikes in
that 1t is fatal.
No man is defeated until he ac-
knowledges defeat.
We place too much value upon what
others think of US, and too little upon
what we think of ourselves
So much depends upon the human
will that no success is possible with
out it. Only when the will is lacking
can success in anything be said to be
| impossible.

law of life in all its forms, and the
athlete who raises the tape higher
