Heart toHear
Talks
ne PAID the PRICE.
BY JAMES a. sDcERroN

On Observation hill, near the edge
Of the antarctic continent, members Of
the polar expedition headed by Cap
tain Robert f. Scott. set up a memo
rial cross for their fallen leader and
his brave companions. On It appears
this fine line from Tennyson's "Ulys-
ses:"
ITO strive. to seek. to fnd. and not
to yield"
Captain Scotts fate was a peculiarly
sad one. He reached the south pole
to discover that another had preceded
him there by scant month He re-
turned to a point nearly in night Of
the harbor to die Of cold and privation.
Yet mournful as was his end there
shines out of it certain white glory.
We feel glad In big way not that
he died. but that he lived.
We feel glad that he dared take
large risks to win a large prize, that
he was not afraid to pay the price,
that he kept up his records to the end.
and that he met his fate like man.
He strore. he sought. he found and

When one man shows a notable ex-
ample of heroism. when he comes up
to the mark in a conspicuous way. he
makes all men a little richer. better.

We human beings are so knit to-
gether in our life. so interviewer In one
texture OF humanity. so dependent
each on all and all or each. that one
great deed becomes the property and
pride of all of us. A new standard ha
been set: new incentive 10 before us.
Each high and worthy achievement
by man makes human nature higher
and more worthy. 1t shows what man
can be at his best.
Captain Scott won his goal That
another won it first does rot lessen his

than in any county of the state out
side of Marion. The money must be
spent wisely.
Furthermore the county commits
sioners have the building of miles of
country roads. Perhaps not recent
ly; but in the past, there has been a
great deal of scandal about the build
ing of these roads. There mas been
the suggestion that the job has been
skinned. in number of instances.
Then too there are the bridge men
who are continually making i'm
proper overtures to county officials
to permit change in specifications
or additional time on their contracts.
The material men however over the
entire situation like a lot of vultures
ready to descend at the first seeming

1t is continually possible for COM
missioners. were they so disposed, to
permit the transfer of saloon licenses
from the township to the city or from
one city to another in direct violation
of the law and the rights of the sa-
loon keeper holding legitimate
licenses.
So the office of county commits
sioner is one of constant temptation.
Its temptations are in the exact pro-
portion to its opportunities and re-
sponsibilities; and these are great.
No man should be appointed who
cannot make a success of his own
business.
The general public is not going to
approve of the appointment of man
merely in the. payment of a party
obligation, It is not going to favor
the appointment of a man simply be-
cause he is able to make the loudest
argument in some political caucus,
citizens generally are only going to
approve the kind of man who would
be deemed big enough to hold so i'm
portant a post in civil life.
The kind of man who is needed
is man who can give services worth
$4,000 a year for $1,000 year.
That the candidate comes from Gary,
from Whiting, from East Chicago.
from Hammond or from Hobart does
not enter into the consideration.
The sole qualification of the candi-
date should be his business ability
and his undisputed integrity. And
the measure should be closely APP
piled.
The selection will have to be made
from North, Calumet or Hobart town
ship. The man selected should be in
thorough accord with the spirit of
progress that prevails in the sections
that are being most rapidly de-
veloped.
The appointment will be made by
republicans and the republican party
will be held directly accountable for
the selection that is made. 1t is the
most serious matter that has come UP
for consideration for long time.

wise more restless, high strung, emo

days. Their behavior when skies are
overcast Is due solely to the Irritating
effects of continued confinement.

The records of suicide and attempted
suicide during period of five years In
New York City indicated that suicides
were 81 per cent more frequent on dry

Likewise, statistics show that clear

THE very newest,

one Of the famous French
