THE TRUTH.

The political diagnoses of the Gary
Tribune, in SO far as they apply to
conditions in Lake County, are notori-
ously incorrect. Invariably they are
governed by personal or sectional pre-
JUDGES.
Ross for the nomination for the office
of prosecuting attorney of this judicial
district the Gary Tribune heralded the
information that new political align
Hammond ring which had ruled the
party for years" had been beaten, that
the combination between Hammond
and East Chicago had been broken up
and that corporate East Chicago had
formed an alliance with Gary, the pur-
pose of which was the control OF the
political situation in Lake County.
The wish was father to the thought.
The idea, however, is SO ridiculous that
1t has been the subject of much mirth
in both East Chicago and Hammond.
Hammond was unquestionably for
Ross, just as Gary was for Hodges and
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago were
for Patterson. Ross was defeated but
the Gary Tribune fails to grasp the
political situation in Hammond and
East Chicago If 1t thinks that this in.
cident was of sufficient consequence to
cause complete political realignment
in northern Lake County
| The first glazing error In the
Tribune's diagnosis of the situation is
its statement that the Hammond po
Htical ring, (WHICH HAS RULED
LAKE COUNTY POLITICS WITH AN
IRON HAND FOR YEARS." has lost
its grip or had it's fangs extracted OF
what not.
| The men who are now conducting the
affairs Of the party in Hammond are
not the men who have been in power
for years. 1t is true that they have
been active in politics all this time
but it is only recently that they have
dominated the party in this city The
retirement of F. Richard Schaaf has
resulted in a new deal and a new
crowd is in control.
And being in error in the premises
the Tribunes whole view of the situa
ton was warped While the Ham
mond and East Chicago republicans
never had an offensive and defensive
alliance against Gary, as Editor Car
is prone to believe. the republican
politicians of North township have al
way worked in harmony.
The reasons for such cooperation
are many:

There is not one good reason why

done, and as it heartily wises it would
do. There are scores of reasons fol-
its hearty cooperation with it's near
lneighbors.
But the acme of assininity is the &C
ton the Gary paper in pointing out
even IL the facts were true, situa
ton that would be sure to arouse the
hostility of Hammond republican poll
ticians to Gary's five candidates fol
county offices.
The tense situation that the Tribune
describes does not exist and Ham

SOME GREAT WORK.

There is probably no profession
that calls for such varied accomplish
ments, that demands so much re-
source and judgment, so much
diplomacy and strategy as the profess
sion of journalism.
That is what makes it one of the
most fascinating occupations In which
a man can be engaged A newspaper
mans field is the whole world and he
must become familiar with about
everything in his field
The versatility of reports is shown
by the feat of W. H. Gray of Cleve-
land Press in locating the fugitive en-
bezzler John c. Jurgens and securing
confession from him. Jurgens told
Gray everything long before any re-
porter around here saw him.
Gray not only came all of the way
from Cleveland to Chicago to find his
man but he practically made him
prisoner and then induced him to
make full confession regarding his
defalcations.
| Had it not been for the viligance
Of other Cleveland reporters who
were working on the same case and
who we're pitting their skill against
Gray's the Press man would have been
able to take Jurgens to Cleveland and
deliver him to the authorities
| Not only did the reporter discover
that a crime had been committed but
he played detective, located the Grim
inal, made him cough up the whole
story and was about to turn him over
to the authorities when the regularly
constituted arms of the law inter
fered.

Kelley, the editor of the Chicago
Tribune, went all of the way tc
