THE DELILAHS OF DENVER.

THE TIMES like a great many
other papers is in receipt of a con
tribution from the Model License
League. in which it declares that the
women of Colorado kept that state
wet at the recent election. 1t says:
while hundreds Of men in the
city and throughout the state
worked against the amendment. it
was mainly due to the efforts Of
the women that It was defeated.
No better workers than the women
were at the command of the Anti
Prohibition League. All day pretty
and handsomely gowned members
of the fair sex stood at the polls
Goa king and cajoling voters to cast
their ballot for wet state and
local option, and their efforts in
countless cases met with success.
IN addition the women themselves
made it a point 20 vote against
prohibition"
Handsomely gowned members oil
the fair sex indeed says the Fort
Wayne News. We undertake it that
they were also handsomely painted
and handsomely smelling of musk
1t doesn't take any particular degree
of mentality to get a correct line on
a woman who would spend election
day at the polls buttonholing voters
and Cabling them to vote for the
retention of a lot of lager beer sa-
looms.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT

are doing our level best to give the
public the perfect service it requires
We have made many changes in our
force Of employees in an effort to get
men who will do just as we want
them. But we have to deal with the
human element.
Rules are Of no avail when men
persist in breaking them. Instruc-
tions do no good II they are not fol-
lowed out. A system fails if it is not
carefully adhered to-
The human element is thing
with which every man had to deal
who employees men Sometimes the
services of a man are secured who
so nearly comes up to the require
ments that the human element is
practically eliminated The man S
efficiency is 100 percent
Now it must be matter of inter
est to the employers of men in a COM
munity ike this to know that condi-
lions surround the daily lives of
them that will end to promote pro-
hciency, that will end to eliminate
the human element
young man of good habits who
married and paying for a home is
more likely to be hundred percent
man than the young fellow who
spends his weeks salary in riotous
living or on Saturday night sprees
that beget Monday morning head
aches and reduced efficiency.
a riot in the Standard Steel Car
district means a tremendous increase
in the human element in the plant
the next day. A deadened mentality
may be responsible for an accident
tht costs the company thousands Of
dollars.
These things go to prove that it is
to the interest of the employer to in
terest himself in the welfare of hi!
men even after they leave the plant
1t means higher efficiency while they
are at work

MAYOR HAMMOND NEEDS.

Sosle day Hammond is going to
tire of plugging along at snaiIs
pace eating the dust of such progress
sive cities as East Chicago and Gary;
it is going to tire of lethargic ad-
ministration the one aim Of which is
to keep down the tax rate
And then it is going to get third
rail mayor.
This old town will have such an
awakening as it has never known be-
fore. The mayor will be a real exc
cutive, a real administrator of affairs.
He will think less of policy and more
of getting things done.
He will ride rough-shod over the
reactionaries; those who refuse to
aid in the widening of streets and
those who refuse to donate a short
strip of road in order that human life
may be safeguarded.
He will open up the State line to
traffic and relieve the congestion on
Hohmn street He will create new
north and south artery Of traffic by
the opening of Sohl and Johnson
streets.
He VIII build municipal docks
along Calumet avenue NOW at a
trif1ing cost and they will be worth
half million dollars to the city
twenty-five years hence.
He will devise some means of Civ
ing the city of Hammond an adequate
and pure supply of water He won't
wait until hundreds die of typhoid
fever or until the state forces some
action either.
He Will force the IMMEDIATE
construction of a deep sewer system.
/ Immediate, we say, because it is Gus
tomary in Hammond for the people
to anticipate a thing of that kind for
FIVE or six years before they get it.
| Hammond will no longer have to
make the disgraceful admission that
the sewers on State street will NOT
permit of the excavation of base
ments under new business blocks.
Park lands will be bought NOW
while they are cheap and like Har-
rison Park win be worth a hundred
times what they cost ten years later
And what parks we have will be i'm
proved according to plans made b.
skilled landscape gardner.

How England Grows,

A great deal Of interest Is taken IN
England in the question of coast pro.
lection. The ocean. assa!l!ng the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long beach.
es of sand and shingle which arrest
the waves before they can attack the
cliffs. An effort is making to prevent
or better regulate, the removal OF this
material for construction and road
building. because In many places It's
removal has permitted the sea freely
to exert It's power of erosion.
The Ordinance Survey has ascer.
taired that In the last thirty.five years
England has lost G,OQO acres By sea
erosion, md gained $4,000 acres
through reclalmIng land the existence
of which Is mainly duo to material
