ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.
Steps to Protect Contractors
Who Fail to Deliver.
From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. JulV


MEYER PROTECTS CONTRACTOR
The Secretary of the Navy has instructed
the paymaster general TO have the Bureau
OF Supplies and Accounts exercise greater
care in purchasing material which must
he charged against delinquent contrac-
tor. ii sometimes happens that COntrac-
tor fails IN the performance Of his obiiga
tons and il becomes necessary to pur-
chase materials or supplies for his &c
count The contractor is obliged 10 pay
the government the difference between
his contract price and that at which the
supplies are bought.
Ordinarily tho second contract Is made
after soliciting competitive bids. as i'm
the first instance but All incident recently
occurred which caused the head of -
Navy Department TO issue special nstruc-
lions 4 steel company 50 delayed lie
liveIies Of castings as 10 make necessary
purchasing part OF the castings from
other manufacturers. The original con
tractors proposed TO deliver the material
at about 81. cents a pound The castings
purchased 70 meet the deficiency cost 9
cents a pound, and Secretary Meyer told
the bureau chief such a price two and
one-half times the original contract
amount, was excessive, even allowing
for the need of the castings for early
use.
The Secretary found proposals for the
castings were sent 10 only q few com
panies and the contract was placed with
firm At double the price at which the
same manufacturer had delivered similar
castings under previous contracts.
Mr. Meyer takes the stand that the
failure of > contractor TO make deliveries
does not relieve the Navy Department
OF the obligation 10 exercise reasonable
care and precsution in ascertaining and
agreeing upon the price TO be paid in
making purchases for his account"
More than this, it Is held that the mere
failure OF a contractor 10 make deliveries
as required does not in itself create an
emergency requiring immediate delivery,
and that there should be no departure
from the regular practice Of obtaining
competitive bids and seeking the lowest
price, unless an emergency actually OK
lists.
\ defaulting contractor. Mr. Meyer in
sists should be treated in q way which
will inture him the least while protect
'ng the governments interests. II is de-
sired TO discourage the theory that. be-
cause contractor fails TO make de-
lveries. that fact Immediately constitutes
an emergency which must be met by a
departure from the custom OF obtaining
bids.

Women over this broad land are

growing madly enthusiastic over
Roosevelt because he at a late day
thought he could get some votes in
states where women have suffrage by
advocating women suffrage.
1t was not long ago that Roosevelt
occupied the limelight by insisting
that it was the duty of every woman
to have children-we forget just how
many-but he made the number
plenty.
He was the original anti-race sui
cider and he was ridiculed from one
end of the country to the other by
suffragettes who insist that the goal

PROSPERITY HERE AGAIN.

After all of these years of waiting,
uncertainty and doubt 1t is crafty
ing to note that prosperity is here
again. The evidences of it are seen
on every hand.
At the gate of every factory large
signs indicate an unprecedented de-
mand labor. Wages are correspond
ingly large. Laborers are getting So
to $225 a day for the commonest
sort of work
One of the greatest small grain
crops the country has ever known
has been harvested and the corn is
luxuriant in its eight and ten foot
heighth.
Every factory is running at
normal capacity and there is an I'M
precedented demand for their pro-
ducts. Railroads are purchasing
large quantities of equipment to re-
plenish that which has worn out in
the lean years just past.
Business interests show no indica-

that national politics has taken. On
the other hand it Is freely prophesied
hat the outcome of the coming cleo
ton will cut no figure with the BUSH
ness situation this year.
Money is plentiful for legitimate
investments and the bond market is
improved. This means that new en-
terprises will be financed easily as
they were before the money string
ency of 1907.
All of this has great significance
to the business man of the Calumet
region. Here a tremendous poten-
tial development is awaiting just
such a situation as is now confront
ing the country
The region viii be invaded by con-
Germs which will spend millions of
dollars on enormous manufacturing
concerns. other millions will have
to be spent incidentally to provide
homes for workingmen, means OF
feeding and clothing them, methods
of transportation and places oil
amusement.
The tremendous development that
has been looked for so long is at
hand. All of the dreams of the most
optimistic are to come true in the
next five or ten years. Lake Coun-
tvs population is to be doubled in
that time and its future as the me
tropolis of the state made sure.

A CHANCE FOR HoD.

Hold Stillwell the Anderson fixer is
said to be slated for an address at the
third party convention in Hammond.
Hold is the side kick of Ed Lee the
bell-wether bull moose of Indiana. 1t
is he who sought to get Taft dele
gates to the national convention 20
break their pledges by promises OF
patronage If they would vote for
Roosevelt.
Stillwell is sadly disappointed be-
cause so far he has not succeeded in
being appointed or nominated for
office on any bull moose ticket in In
diana.
Let Hold take heart, there may be
an office for him in Lake county
somewhere.
He'd make a lovely county COM

BOWERS A KNOTS MAN.

The fine italian handiwork of a.
F. Knots and his brother T. E.
heads of the bipartisan combine of
Hammond and Gary was very much
in evidence yesterday.
The Knots brothers controlled the
bull moose and democratic congress
sional convention at Rensselaer,.
They owned it body and soul and
exacted their pound of flesh just as
THE TIMES predicted.
John O. Bowers who was nominal
ed for congress at the bull moose
convention at Rensselaer, yesterday
has strayed after false gods and
prophets. He has decided to fight
the republican party from which he
has received many favors and by
which he has been much honored.
John o. Bowers is A F. Knots
man. He wears the Knots collar.
A. F. Knots made Bowers wealthy
man. The two have associated all
these years and though Bowers is the
nominee 1t is really Knots who was
nominated.
Let the republicans and democrats
of the Tenth district keep the fact
prominently in their minds,
Efforts to induce other republicans
to accept the nomination which has
been peddled from pillar to post ever
since the Chicago convention were
futile. 1t was offered to the editor
of this paper by Tippecanoe county
bull rnoosers and turned down. Hon.
Jesse Wilson was far too clever to let
the Knots clan hoodwink him. Not
even the Tippecanoe bull nloosers
would stand for Knots.
He had to have somebody, so he
chose John o. Bowers.
Congressman E. D. Crumpackel
will be triumphantly reelected next
November by both republican and
democratic. votes

binders this campaign.

THE PANAMA RESULTS.

The mills at Burlington In Gary
turning out cement day and night
for the Panama canal constitute our
local interest in the big isthmian
ditch. Nationally, Washington leg
islation is creating other interest.
But the big canal has now taken
on an international aspect. Japan
eyes 1t closely. The approach of the
time when the Panama waterway
will be opened to the ships of the
void is also stirring Europe TO action.
France wishes to have a new harbor
at Martinique or Guadalupe to serve
as base for French, commercial ac-
tivities. Denmark is preparing for
commercial expansion at st. Thomas
and Holland now regards some of its
islands down that way with greater
Importance
England now dreams of British
tropical American confederation It
lis proposed to take the English pos
sessions in the Caribbean vicinity
Jamaica, Barbados, British Honduras,
Grenada, British Guiana in South
America, the Antilles and Trinidad
and merge them into one confedera-
ton. Jamaica is suggested for the
seat of government which shall have
for its executive head a governor
general, and supreme court, fed
eral council or legislature and other
administrative officers. This would
give new state of some 1900. 900
people.
The canal, which our cement plays
| a great part in its construction, is
destined to make some important
| changes in the world
