MAINE HAS SPOKEN.

we wonder what the cocK-sure
democrats and the clustering bull
moosers viii say when they read Of
the returns from Maine.
Maine spoke yesterday. SHE RE
JECTED DEMOCRACY, TRIUMPH
ANT TWO YEARS AGO AND ELECT
ED A REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The Importance of the victory can
not be over-estimared Maine had
elected a democratic governor and
democratic con gressmen AZ the last
election.
The bull moOsers were Dragging
that the republicans would not carry
a single state THERE HAVE AL
READY BEEN TWO STATE ELEC-
TIONS AND THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE WON BOTH.
Vermont rejected Armageddon and
the man who insists he is standing
there by placing the third term ticket
where it belonged-third.
In Michigan two weeks ago at the
primaries the republicans got 246,00o
votes and the bull moOsers 1000.
In Ohio last week the people reject
ed Roosevelt's pet theory woman
suffrage.
EVERYWHERE ROOSEVELT II
RIDING FOR A FALL. The people Of
this great land will tell him where t

In the meantime the glorious news
from Maine ought to put little spine
of the backbones of the timorous re
publicans.

can duplicate the trick.

MISS BROOKS CONTEST.

Miss Virginia Brooks, of West
Hammond, vigorous young reform
er, who has accomplished wonders in
one of the worst social sink holes in
Illinois, has been threatened with
death because she has prosecuted an
investigation of the death of man
who was brutally murdered for
money in an immoral resort there.
her intention being to use the evil
dence secured in her crusade looking
to the elimination of the vice district.
Miss Brooks has a vicious element to
contend with in her fight and it is
not thought that the threat against
her life is an idle one, for In West
Hammond, as in other cities that toll
crate vice district, there are certain
degenerate business men, who sell
shoddy goods to the harpies on the
installment plan. leagued with them
in mutually defensive alliance.
They are men who, while they mighC
shrink from personal participation in
the butchery of business dis
turber, would exercise all their un.
holy influence to protect the murd-
erer after the crime and to defeat the
ends of justice Miss Brooks has IN
dertaken a large and dangerous con
tract, but those who know her best
have faith in her ultimate success
For she is a fighter who is in the
right and she has behind her virile
public sentiment that is growing
more dominant and powerful every
day. Passing forever is the outgrowr
and barbarous idea that the socia
evil is a necessary evil and that
city to be moral must waliow in i'm

TIPS FOR CONTRACTORS.

There is an article in the current
Saturday Evening Post that 1t will do
well for every contractor IN Lake
County to read. 1t IS the experience
of a man who first failed and then
succeeded in the contracting business
Now 1t is notorious that there have
been some shameful delays in build
| ing projects in Lake County, especial
| ly In Hammond Not only do these
delays increase the cost of a building,
because contractors come TO figure on
them, but they make the contracting
business improbable to the contrac-
tor
There is the Monon depot which re-
CURED as much time IN the building
as the average skyscraper in Chicago.
the building of the Taper building
was in the hands of an incompetent
and cost the owner several thousands
OF dollars in loss OF rent to say moth
ling of the inconvenience to the ten
lants in the building.
The Schultz theatre building requir
led months more TO build than was
necessary and the residence of NJ
Rothschild was all fall. winter and
part OF a spring and summer in build
ing.
No wonder building costs so much
in Hammond. Not only is the con-
tractors equipment. his men and his
own time involved but there are other
losses and leakages which make it
necessary for a contractor TO get 20
percent more than he should in order
to come out on the job
In Hammond job starts. it moves
along propitiously and then suddenly
stops. Enquire the reason ana You
will be informed that. the iron failed
to arrive, that there was mistake in
the measurement of a girder. that the
terra Gotta is lost on siding some
where beween the kiln and tbs new
building. that the trim has to be
made over etc, etc. etc.
No wonder there is no money in
contracting in Hammond These de-
lays disorganize the force, the5 make
building costly. When they are OBJ
served 1t may be taken for granted
that the contractor is low in effici-
Q ency
: The point that is made very clear
o in the article in the Saturday Even
0 ing Post is that the prime requisite
of a successful contractor is EXECU

to get results.
