GARY NEW ALDERMAN.

The election of Alfred Hess, bust
ness man of high repute to a seat in
the Gary common council formerly
occupied by the notorious and now
missing Anthony Baukus must be re-
garded as a signal victory for good
citizenship.
While Mr. Hess is a republican it
is pleasing to note that two democrats,
Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Feuer, voted with
three republicans to place him in
Office. Neither of these two gentle
men are affected by the bribery pro-
eedings now under way.
Alderman Hess has no easy task
ahead of him. Gary has long suffer
ed from disagreement and now that
"a carpet-bagger has been ousted and
is replaced by one in whom the COM
munity can have confidence an avenue
of hope looms ahead.
Not so very long ago the Gary coun.
Gil elected two aldermen, Baukus and
Gibson. They both fell. Baukus is
missing and If he does not show uI

SHOWS EX-SENATOR
BEVERIDGE'S STRENGTH

A poll taken systematically In
Lake County by the Lake County
Times, among 5000 voters, shows
9a1 for Taft, e23 for Roosevelt, All
for Beveridge, 3e8 for LaFoliette,
II for Fairbanks, 76 scattering and
43o non-commIttal. The notable
thing about the returns is the
strength shown by Beveridge when
his name has not been put forward
as presidential quantity. II Is
the more striking because in Lake
county are many foreigners who
know only the names OF Taft and
Roosevelt. In Gary, therefore, Bev-
eridge's vote was small, his friends
being in the older towns and among
the farmers. II Is a "straw" vote,
but 1t shows that though he has re-
turned to private life, the people
have him in mind.-lndianapoiis

TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.

The problem of transportation be-
tween the cities of the Calumet region
and the Baldwin Locomotive works is
one of vital Importance. Traction
matters have been in an awful tangle
in North township for the past two
years
The much needed extension of line
direct from Hammond to Indiana Har-
Dor has been held up by the fact that
both the Green Line and the Gary &
Interurban line wanted access to East
Chicago through the Gibson subway
It is time that this problem was set
tied in such a way as to insure the
immediate construction of the line by
one company or the other. 1t must
be apparent that neither will go to
the expense of constructing this line
il the ether has equal rights over it SO
that it devolves upon the business men
of the region to take the bull by the
horns and decide in favor of one com.
pany or the other SO that work on the
line can begin next spring.

Gibson and Christie looks is not
strong enough on night school and
other hardships to forge to the front.
It is easy for handsome man to
get an easy job. and easy for pref
ty girl to imagine that her face is her
fortuna
Great men are seldom handsome
The thing that makes the cartoonist's
job comparatively simple one is that
most of the men in public life whom
they draw have striking eccentricities
of feature. If Roosevelt, Fairbanks,
Cannon, Morgan, Rockefeller and the
rest were models of Grecian beauty
the men who caricature them would
have to go cut of business.
But when you come to the question
of vigor and grace of body, that's an
other thing. A strong, well-shaped
man or woman is likely to have a
mental activity of ! corresponding
strength and poise. because vigor and
shapeliness are indicators OF health
and health of body means health OF
mind. Thin, anemic people are bright
and capable sometimes, but it's safer
for an employer to take chances oil
helpers that look healthy.
