CHICAGo'S FOOLISH CLAIMS.

You can leave it to Chicago t.
claim the credit for the great indus
tries of the Calumet region in Ham
mond, Gary. East Chicago, Whiting
and Indiana Harbor. Chicago ha
had her eyes opened forcibly during
the past ten years. The Chicag,
Daily News says:
Much of Chicagos pre- emil
nence as Industrial center is
due to the fact that it was a great
lumber market when lumber was
the principal raw material for
manufacturing purposes. The out
put of the forests of Michigan,
Wisconsin and other regions
tributary to the great lakes was
brought to this city by water in
enormous quantities. Manufacture
ers could get lumber here cheaper.
in more satisfactory volume and in
greater varieties than they could
elsewhere. Further, this city, be-
cause of its transportation facili-
ties, was an exceptional point for
prompt and widespread distribu-
ton.
ITO a large extent steel and iron
are taking the place of lumber as
raw materials for manufacturing
purposes, articles made of iron ore
produced supplanting many of
those made of lumber. And Chi
cago is now becoming the great
center of the iron and steel in
dustry. In addition to the huge
plants at Gary. Indiana Harbor.
South Chicago and Joliet, another
plant is soon to be constructed at
Hammond. Ind, just outside of
Chicago.
Just as cheap and plentiful
lumber attracted to Chicago
manufacturers using that COM
modify a raw material, so the
presence in this vicinity of large
steel plants, insuring an abund-
ance of iron and steel at the low
est prices. must attract manufae-
turers who make articles of iron
and steel. Already factories in
considerable number are begin
ming operations around the steel
mills of the Calumet region of Illi-
nofs and Indiana. all tributary to
Chicago the commercial cen
ter"
These industries that are mention
ed have not been located here be
cause of Chicagos' proximity and ye
you couldn't get a Chicago new:
paper to admit that They hav
been located here for just the oppe
site reasons because their owner
want to get away from Chicag,
They have been located here becaus
the Calumet region possesses f.
superior national advantages. How
ever if 1t makes Chicago feel any be
ter let her think what she may. W

If Taft or Roosevelt is nominated,
nothing but a big fight in the Demo

party from defeat. and If such condi-
lions do arise, 1t will give the Social

have plenty of good, able. competent

The brains of the Republican party
are not confined to two or three men.
We do not have to go out of our own

Haven't we Fairbanks, Beveridge

a more able, or competent man, for the
place, than E. d. Crumpacker? Per

Chicago. ILL.,. May 21.-That Presi
dent Taft made no mistake when he
appointed Miss Julia Lathrop, of this
city. to act as cheif of the New Chill
drens Bureau in the Department of
Commerce and Labor is the opinion of
all who know Miss LatArop or who
have an intimate knowledge of her
work. She is the first woman ever to
be placed at the head of a government
bureau; but the President, in making
the appointment, did not lose sight of
the fact that the care. protection and
training of children is peculiarly wom-
ans work.
The appointment came to Miss
Lathrop not as a reward for efficiency
on her part, but because Mr.. Taft be-
llieved that of all who were available
for the position she was the most fit
for the place. For years she has been
a resident of Hull House-the greatest
of Chicagos social settlements. Miss
Jane Adams. the head of Hull House,
has told in her photographed vol

|ume, Twenty Years at Hull House."
that when Miss Lathrop was appointed
as county visitor to Investigate cases
for outdoor relief within the region Of
which Hull House was the center, "the
commissioners were first dubious of
the value of such visitor and predics-
led that a woman would prove coal
chute for giving away county sup
plies; but they gradually came to de-
pend upon her suggestions and adive."
Later Miss Lathrop was appointed by
the government a member of the Illi-
nois State Board of Charities. Her in
innate knowledge of the lives of the
lpeople among whom she lived enabled
her to fulfill her duties as a member
of the board with marked intelligence
and human understanding. Miss Lath-
lrop's influence in securing the pas
sage and enforcement of laws for the
Improvement of social conditions has
been important She is a trustee of
iVassar College, from which she gradu-
ated about twenty years ago.

in his chosen profession. He Is the in

indicator and in 1883 he designed the
first 5-inch steel rail used in the
United States. Several years later he
introduced the first 6-inch 10o- pound
rails DR.. Dudley invented the strem-
lmatograph for obtaining and register

trains. In 1909. as a result of his in

THE BALLOT.

The ballot is the greatest weapon
OF economic progress.
But it is not used.
OF the fifteen million voters in the
United States, fourteen million know
that the watering of stock is wrong.
They also know that billions of dol
lars have been capitalized" in this
way.
How many will vote against it
next November?
The same fourteen million know
that inherited money has not been
earned by the heir. They also know
that billions of inherited money now
furnish untold wealth to less than
one per cent of the population, while
the ninety and nine foot the bill
How many votes will be cast in
favor of even a fair-sized tax on in
heritances, in the fall?
The same fourteen million know
that industry should not be taxed
but idleness. Outside of Missouri
Washington and Oregon, how many
votes will be cast in favor of the
transfer of. all taxes from industr,
to land?
Common sense tells nearly every
one of us that watered stock, in
herited money, and speculation II
land are unjust, wrong, diabolica
and destroying
We all know it--but we quietly g.
