really his cost of laying the pipe was
much less than half of the lowest

Incidentally it. might be said that
the city lays all its own water pipe
but why not have n law elastic
enough to permit the city to hire men

sewers? Why should the taxpayers
pay tribute to the contractors We
have no quarrel with contractors
We appreciate that as a state orr

the leaven is working. and there will

yet unknown, will some day make his
reputation. by getting a law on the

an opportunity to make improvements

must go to the middle man
1t might be said that a system by
which the taxpayers hire man to
put in their improvements, might
after all be the very thing a corrupt
administration would desire to de-
fraud the people. If administrations
as they are constituted now were be-

argument would hold good, but the
state of Indiana and other states

be seen, but there seems little reason
to doubt that when the list energies
from the dark pigeon-hole into which
Senator Kern has tucked it, it may
undergo some variations
It seems doubtful however whether
Mr.. Kern would do Mr. Taft the dis
courtesy of materially revising his
list of appointments. This would be a
slap in the face of the presiding exc
cutive, as precedent has ordained that
the appointments made on the eve of
the retirement OF a United States
President, be honored. Whether East
Chicago and Hobart, the two Lake
county cities whose postoffice appoint
ments have been bottled up by
Senator Kern, are given democratic
postmasters over President Taft's
head, or not, Republicans here refuse
TO believe that this will be done, until
new appointments are actually rati-
fed.

What's the matter with your
Somehow you cannot do your work

Maybe it's the undertow.

Many have been drowned by dis

Perhaps you have been esing only

the undertow has been sweeping you

IT is this way:
You give to your task only such
thoughts as you think are necessary.
while at the same time you are think

Thinking is concentration.
Fsncy how much force you could ex-
ert II you would combine the usual
current ef your thoughts with all OF

The secret Of doing things success
