Aberdeen is preparing against an in
vasion by members OF the I. w. WIS,
an organization Of so-called laborers,
who devote most Of their time to max
ing street-corner speeches Of socialistic
nature. Because Aberdeen does not
approve Of this line OF free speech, "
$50 orators" recently left St. Louis
for the Gray's Harbor city. A special
police force Of 1900 members awaits
their coming.

Further investigations in the Los
Angeles dynamiting outrage has been
shifted to Seattle, as it has been found
that some of the mechanisms were
made and repaired in the latter city.
1t will be remembered that in August.
1910, the Lyons building, while in
course of construction in Seattle, was
shattered by dynamite explosion.
The work has been connected up with
the Mcnamara plots. A Seattle cleo
trician comes forward with the state
ment that he repaired some of the
clock-work apparatus that was used.
Furthermore, it is now definitely estab-
lished that James B. Mcnamara was in
Seattle in August, 1910.

Who is going to be the next mayor
of Scatter That is the burning quest
ion. The business interests have tried
to persuade a reputable one of their
number to run, but owing to the known
ingratitude Of the electorate all ap-
preached so far have refused to stand.
Receptive candidates SO far are State
Tax Commissioner T. A. Parish, former
Mayor H. c. Gill and George F. Cot
terill. The latter will probably run as
an independent. He is democrat Of
good standing. 1t is said that R. R.
Wilson, progressive republican, will
manage the Cotterill campaign, another
evidence Of how party lines are being
beaten down in local affairs. At this

of Seattle will have chance to vote on
the single tax proposition, at the forth
coming city election.

motive back Of card index to be kept
by Claude F. Gage, marriage license
clerk for King County. He gets SO
many letters from men and women in
all parts Of the country, who are seek
ing spouses, that he has decided to un-
dertake sort Of matrimonial clearing
house, so far as the duties Of his Office
will permit. Mr.. Gage regards 1912
as particularly an suspicious twelve
months, because it is leap year. Mr..
Gage is thoroughly in earnest and says
he cannot refuse aid sought by the
women who are homesick for a hus-
band-and vice versa. He will take
precautions that his good intentions
are not played upon by persons with
Interior motives, as far as he can pre-
vent it.

LOTS ARE CHEAP.

The starting of operations at the
plant of Gary.s new industry the
Gary Screw and Bolt Company on
July LIST will give a great impetus to
the Gary Land Company properties
on the east side of Broadway. This
plant the most modern of It's kind in
the United States is starting out well
with an operating force of 900. In
another year the capacity will be
tripled as plans now under way will
show.
In any other city outside of Gary
the location and operation of such a
plant as the Gary Bolt and Screw
company would mean that realty
prices in the neighborhood would go
soaring and a real estate boom would
follow.
In Gary there has scarcely been a
ripple. During the last two months
there has been steady sale of east
side lots which is bound to increase
when the plant is actually in opera
ton. The prices of lots on the east
side have not advanced since January
1909. Think of it, lots in the vicini-
| ty of this great plant all improved

Heart toHeart
Talks.
BY EDWIN n. NYE.

SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS.
April 26 there died in the city of
Chicago one of the very few successful
men who have ever lived.
Reference is here made to the late
DR.. d. X. Pearsons. the fine souled
philanthropist, who lived ninety-two
years.
Having accumulated a fortune Of
S7.0000Oc by real estate investments.
he started when eighty years of age
to give II away. He helped endow
more than fifty small. struggling col
leges, because he believed the small
college afforded poor young people the
best chance. He also gave largely to
charity and for fifty years aided young
men to get an education.
DR.. Pearsons gave away every DOL
lar OF his big fortune. reserving only
a small life annuity to keep his soul
and body together till death
He was doubly successful.
Many men have known the salts
faction OF making much money. Few
have known both the Joy and pride of
the victor in making a fortune ard the
pride and Joy of the phianthropist In
giving every bit of It away. He was
twice successful.
He lived a completed life.
Which is a rare accomplishment
Death when 1t comes to most men
finds them with unfinished plans. or.
II their plans are successfully worked
out. there yet remains the problem Of
the successful administration of their
affairs when they shall be dead. They
heap up riches knowing not who will
gather it, They know the lawyers
will gather some. And they fear lest
the heirs may dissipste the remainder.
DIR. Pearsons was his own executor.
He successfully administered his es-
tate while living. And he had the
pleasure In the disbursement of his
wealth Of seeing the good 1t would do
His money went where ne wanted 1t
to 20 and for the good of mankind.
Successful old man!
He went to the limit of benevolence.
Other millionaries give away money,
but-not all of it Some of them can
not keep up with the natural increase
and are in grave danger of 'the dis
grace of dying rich" Giving all. DR..
Pearsons, of all the rich men of his
day. was the one successful giver.
Success?
Success is like a pyramid Broad at
the base. broad as the thronging mil
lions who live their little day and
win or fail. Towering upward. its
form narrows and scattered along It's
sides are the few who have been fairly
successful At it's top-their bright
! figures lit up with the pure sunshine
| of nerited fame-are the very few who
have lived a completed and successful
| life.
| OF these the gentle hearted mona
genariap who died In Chicago was one.

HOW THEY LOVE US!

One of the funny things about this
bandanna party business is the burn
ing desire of coterie of rich politi-
clans and self-seeking millionaires to
convince the plain people that the
common people should rule.
My how they do love the common
people!
How they are filed with indigna-
tion to think that their beloved COM
mon people are so down trodden,
In this connection let us humbly
ask when millionaires Jimmy Gar
field, Nick Longworth, Gift Pinchot,
Med. Mccormick, Tim Woodruff and
Bill Flynn ever did hard days work
in their lives?
1t is great love that the Pinchots
and the Woodruffs have for the COM
mon people,
We suppose they are doing what
they are doing just for the common
people.

THE REcLUsE IS NOT USEFUL

Speculation, philosophy and noun
tain-peak observations are splendid
developers of thought--but thought,
until it eliminates in action, gener-
ates no power.
The hermits lived away from man
kind to devote their minds to heav-
emily contemplation. They evolved
into what they started out to become
useless beings; powerless because
power is action.
The long-haired, gray bearded soli-
tary cannot love people. because he
does not understand them.
He cannot mold what he does
touch; and hence his learning has no
effect upon the world, for effects and
results are caused only by contact
To be contented it is first necessary
to be useful; and to be useful is i'm
possible to the anchorite
Progress depends upon the ability
and willingness of those who know

Higher education misses its ain
whenever 1t produces a recluse, for

A GERMAN ALLEGORY.

On a recent trip to Germany, Dr.
Harvey Wiley, the government pure
food expert, heard an allegory with
reference to the subject of food adul-
teration which, he contends, should
cause Americans to congratulate
themselves that things are SO well
ordered in this respect in the United
States.
The German allegory was sub

women who actually participated in
the doings of the convention.
Mrs. w. A. Davis the woman who
started the Hadley-Roosevelt de-
monstration came to the convention
dressed conspicuously. SHE WAS
ABLE TO ATTRACT ATTENTION
BY MAKING A HOLY SHOW OF
HERSELF.
Having attracted the eyes of the
convention she became even more de-
monstrative She permitted herself
to be lead from her seat to the plat
form of the convention hall where a
number of men BOOSTED HER onto
the stage.
There she stood; reeking with
perspiration, clothes disheveled,
breathing like marathon runner.
face livid with excitement, hair
awry, viewed by thousands of men
thoroughly disguised with her action.
Just two things made such an oc-
curence possible. One was the desire
of the woman for notoriety and the
other was the desire of the Hadley-
Roosevelt supporters for anything
unusual that would keep alive the
demonstration they had started.
But it is safe to say that there was
not man present in that supposedly
dignified and august assemblage who
would have been proud to have had
his daughter, his wife or his mother
make such a display of herself.
In fact the husband of a woman
who would SO far forget herself as to
make him an object of pity and her
self an object of general disgust
would be justified in divorcing her
or perhaps a good sound spanking
would bring her to her senses.

Evans young woman occupying

She shouted, screamed. waved hei

stick she held in her hand and be-

these two women "a convention o.

old business men to make fools q
