TWO LEADERS GONE.

All that was mortal of Harold II.
Wheeler of Crown Point was laid
away to rest yesterday. Two weeks
ago the remains of Richard Schaaf
were buried. Two of Lake County's
best-known and most enthusiastic re-
publican leaders have gone Hence and
only time will show how they are
missed. 1t would be hard to pick two
men who were better vote-getters
than either of these two men, They
always lead their tickets and they
always proved tower of strength to
the tickets on which their names ap-
peared. The deaths of these two men
is a sad blow to the party They
were ever present at is councils
Their advice was often sought and
always accepted. Lake County repub-
licans will miss Harold H. Wheeler
and Richard Schaaf for a long time

SCHOOL TEACHERS PENSIONS

The school board at Richmond has
refused to levy tax under the new
teachers pension act. and the papers
of that city very cordially commend
ed the decision. AS the question Is
one that may arise in this city, this
comment is not undressing The
Palladium says:
THE Palladium believes the school
board should be commended for its
decision to stand pat on it's refusal to
take the initial step for creating a
fund to pension teachers under the
provisions of the teachers pension
act, passed by the last legislature,
which appears to be unconstitutional
and which is certainly most unfair
to the taxpayers of Richmond.
THE Palladium is staunch advo-
cate of any plan for pensioDing, such

A WORD OF PRAISE.

Whatever unsavory reputation
New York City may have gained
throughout the country as result of
the police scandals, certainly the
great metropolis has commended itself
to the world at large by its warm
hearted response to the appeals for
aid from the stricken cities of the
west and middle west. Although the
unfortunate cities have begun their
plans of rehabilitation relief COM
mittees were today working as hard
to raise funds as they did when the
appeals were first received in New
York.
One remarkable feature of the work
done by the committees on relief in
New York has been the care exercised
in sending articles of wearing APP
parel. The citizens of New York. in
answer to special requests, have sent
only clean clothing and this has been
made thoroughly sanitary before be-
ing shipped to the food victims. to
avoid any possible spread of disease.

PUBIC servants as teachers, police
men and firemen who have become
incapacitated for service through ac-
cident, disease or the infirmities OF
old age. but 1t most positively is
against any pensioning plan land it
believes It is rejecting popular opin-
ion in this opposition) which retires
public servants in the prime Of life at
the expense of the taxpayers.
The Palladium believes that a law
which would permit Superintendent
I. A. Mott to retire from service with
the Richmond public schools on an
annual pension OF s430 and permit
him to draw a salary of $500
as superintendent of the Seymour.
Indiana, schools, is absolutely unjust
to the people of Richmond. but this
is precisely what he would be permit
ted to do If a school teachers pension
fund was created in Richmond. And
we find Mr.. Mott advocating the
creation of such a fund.
AN inspection of the teachers
pension law for cities with popula-
tions varying from 10000 to 100 900
reveals the following provisions

teachers who have served be-
tween twenty and thirty years NAV
De retired at any time within the
period specified and receive pension
|1f the pension fund commission de-
cides they are entitled to receive such
reward. AS teachers in this class
cannot withdraw the money they
have paid into the pension fund. as
teachers who have served less than
twenty years can, and as the majority
of the commission and teachers, it is
reasonable to presume that appIi-
cants in this class who would be re-
fused pensions would be few and far
between. Practically all teachers
VINO would retire after service vary
ing from twenty to thirty years
would still be in the prime of life
and could accept positions elsewhere
without sacrificing the pension they
would draw out of the school funds
of Richmond.
Teachers who have served more
than thirty years can retire at anv
time on pension, even though they
have been convicted of felony"

There are some editors who wear
hats of the 6 3-S size and they hap
pen to run religious papers.
What difference does it make to the
country whether President Wilson
and Vice President Marshall and the
Secretary of State are of one religion
secretary of the navy's chef, and the
capitol janitor give allegiance to an
other one? The day for religious
bigotry in this country is past. The
asinine efforts of some of the church
editors to revive it reveals the width
of their mental calibre.

SHOULD BRING RESULTS.

The plan of the Gary Commercial
club to set apart some day In June
for entertaining the farmers of Lake
and Porter counties with purpose of
giving their neighbors an idea of the
market, industrial and trading posi-
bilities of the city is good one. 1t
also suggests the question why closer
relations were never established with
the farmer before. Every city in this
region might pick up the Gary idea.
IT, is certainly one that will bring re-
suits.

THE PROVISIONING PROBLEM.

Gary is tackling the provisioning
problem with characteristic energy.
Its citizens have taken steps to build
city market. Now the Gary COM
mercial club is making plea for the
local consumption of Lake county
farm products so that the wealth of
It's cities may be diverted from the
South Water street provision market
to local commission houses.

teristically vigorous letter asks THE
TIMES to aid Gary to call the atten-
ton of the farmers to the presence.

rich cash market for their products
Gary's problem is East Chicagos' and
1t is also Ha1nmond's so the following
letter will be of general interest:

Editor TINES
will you give the Commercial
Club of Gary space in your valued
paper to acquaint the farmers of your
district with the needs of Gary? Our
city has population of 10000 which
will double within a few years and
then double again. Every pound of
food consumed has to be brought in
to the city. We can raise practically
nothing in Gary. Up to this time,
South Water street, Chicago, in an
other state, has furnished Gary's food
supply with the result that we have
had to pay excessive prices for in
ferior goods.
At our very doors, to the east
and south. is the best farming coun-
try in the United States, from which
this growing city and in fact the en-
tire Calumet district, desires to be fed.
We want your milk, poultry and
eggs, meats, garden produce, the
fruits of your orchards, cts, in ex-
change for our money. We offer you
a practically unlimited cash market
right at your doors, giving you a
rare opportunity for the most profit
able of all farming.
ne DeSI OF highways now lead in
TO Gary. Interurbans reach out from
our city in every direction, ready to
bring In your supplies. We have
commission houses which will handle
them and retailers and consumers
who are eager for them. A great
public market is being established in
the heart of Gary, with the sanction
of the city authorities, to which you
can bring or send your product for
sale. Gary and surrounding district
is ready to buy everything in the way
OF food which you can raise and will
be glad of the chance.
Will you farmers not meet us half
way and in your spring planting pre-
pare to supply the needs of our peo-
Pile?
The secretary of the Gary Com
mercial Club will be pleased to
answer all inquiries as to market
conditions, as far as he is able. and
we will gladly welcome the farmers
or Lake, Porter and Laporte counties
at the rooms of the Gary Commercial
club. No. els Broadway, at any time.
