GIVE us a FAIR CHANCE.

We are not so blind TO the advant-
ages OF South Bend as a location for
the Grand Trunk railway shops as to
line between Chicago and the Canadi-
an border is in the comparison.
It seems inevitable that if the rail
way company's best interests, includ-
ing It's convenience. is considered, the
shops will be located either here or at
OI1shawaka. Against South Bend, pre-
judice is the only thing that can have
serious weight with the railroad COM
pany, and that is purely a speculative
quantity
If prejudice on account of the Di-
vision st. matter IS 10 havea weight in
deciding the matter it should find an
ameliorating circumstance in what
South Bend and some OF it's citizens
have done indirectly for the Grand
Trunk company. 1t was a South Bend
man, the late Judge Thomas S. stan
field. who made it possible for the
Grand Trunk 10 have its present di-
rect and advantageous lines from De-
troit and Port Huron TO Chicago.
The story OF Judge Stanfield's ser
vices IN organizing an Indiana COM
pany and assisting the old Peninsular
Railroad company in securing its right
OF way through this state was recently
told by The News-Times It was a
story OF opportune aid rendered at a
critical period in the affairs Of the
original company. and to the benefits
deriv the Grand Trunk has fallen
heir.
We do not expect the Grand Trunk
people 10 bring the shops here as an
expression OF gratitude for this and
other services rendered by South
Bend and its citizens, but they should
be sufficient 10 neutralize any preju-
dice that may have grown oct OF the
obstacles cast in the way Of double
tracking Division st. All South Bend
asks Is a fair chance to show why the
shops should come here.

A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

1t was buzzed around on Saturday
that Mayor-elect Keller would today
make public his appointments. With
out the slightest desire to hurry him
we hope he will. Not being among
the wise ones who have figured out
the slate in advance we are consumed
with curiosity.
And when we know. it will be fas-
cinating pastime to analyze the dope
by which our next mayor reached his
conclusions With the abundance of
material provided by three or more
political parties to choose from and
with an eye TO the eternal harmonies
it must have been some job.
The News-Times has considerably
refrained from burdening Mr.. Keller
with recommendations or reminding
him more or less obviously Of his in
debtedness to certain alleged contribu-
tory causes. The election put the Sc
lection Of his cabinet up to Mr.. Keller
and The News-Times was content to
leave II there without exerting other
influence than that which may have
been found in a legitimate reproduc-
ton of current expressions Of public
opinion and sentiment.
Inevitably more or less information
concerning Mr.. Keller's Investigations
has leaked out and it is known that
some good material for official posi-
tons has been included in his consid-
erations. and from this it may be as
sumed that he has tried to associate
efficient men with him in his coming
administration OF city affairs.
Mr.. Keller. if he has completed his
list may not have succeeded as we'll as
he would have liked in occurring for
the various positions at his command
the men best fitted to perform their
duties. If so it will be his misfortune
as well "a the city's. so far as it proves
to be a misfortune.

schools. which have succeeded i'm get
ting out OF the rut and commend the
progressiveness of school officials who
encourage practical innovations. Now
supplied with an excellent physical
equipment the South Bend schools are
in position TO extend their usefulness.
The things of most importance to
be considered are keeping pupils In
school beyond the lower grades. Civ
ing them practical instruction and
training and making II possible for
working girls and boys TO avail them
selves OF school privileges. These are
as much entitled to rudimentary edu-
cation as the more fortunate child
rem who are not Obliged by circum-
stances to enter the ranks of bread
winners.
The ideal plan for the conduct Of
public schools is yet TO be devised or
produced through an evolutionary
process. but every advance made.
every improvement added brings them
nearer to the goal.

a VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

In the passage of the Hetch- Hetchy
bill by both the house and the SEN
ate. the conservationists have won
their second important victory in ten
days. the first being the defeat of the
states rights resolution in the con
servation congress at washington.
The Hetch- Hetchy bill enables San
Francisco not only TO acquire valu-
able water rights which will allow the
city to add materially TO it's water
supply. but also power rights which
with the beginning Of municipality
owned street car lines now being
built. will have an important bearing
on the municipal ownership situation
there.
This is doubtless the reason that
the Hetch- Hetchy bill has been
fought so bitterly. Paid bureaus Of
information" have sent out reams
Of matter over the country as to why
congress should refuse San Francis
cos request to take over this land.
Some newspapers have been mlsled
into advocating such a refusal on the
basis or sdcn information. Or else
they have followed their own inclina-
alton in opposing matters in which
the public interest is concerned and
private interests threatened.
The worst thing the power trust
press bureau did in this connection,
however. and it seemed for a while
that this maneuver might be success
ful where others failed. was to plead
that the scenic beauty OF Yosemite
valley would be destroyed by this
grant TO the city.
Naturalists. even men Of such note
as John Mdir were persuaded that
the matter or scenic beauty was so
important that the grant should be
turned down. other good men and
women over the country were enlisted
against the grant in the same way.
Now the real facts seem to be that
the actual detrimental effect on the
Yosemite valley scenery is almost
negligible while the grant Will give
the people Of San Frincisco a good
foothold for continuing their fight
against the tyranny of the city's trac-
ton and power interests. which be-
came nationally notorious in the time
Of ex-Mayor Schmitz and Abe
Reuf.

MAKING THE SCHOOLS BETTER

Supt. Montgomery Of the city
schools found a great deal in the De-
troit public school system TO interest
him and will doubtless make some
recommendations 70 the South Bend
board OF education. What will be re-
garded as the most important OF the
superintendent obligations are the
plan for bridging the gap between the
lower grades and the high school and
the opportunity afforded working

All is well'-the word is said
BY the blind men 70 the blind
And the Tory mods his head
Quite cOntented in his mind:
All is wel"-men starve and die
In the midst OF plenty's store,
Babies weep and mothers cry,
Famine fingers at the door
Children toll in roaring mills.
Robbed OF all their hours of play
Doing work that stunts and kills
All is well" the Tories cry.
Women take the wage Of shame,
Driven by the scourge of want:
Still the slogan is the same.
All is WELL" resounds the vaunt
Law is trampled under foot,
Right is sunken I'm the mire
And the thug, the vicious brute,
Beat and slug and kill-for hire.
Men who dare to speak the truth
Pace within a prison cell;
Power rules that knows no ruth
Yet men murmur, All is well,"
Fetid street and filthy SUM
Toll that makes mems lives a hell,
Want and woe and vice and rum
Let's be thankful "All is well"
