POST NO LONGER
CARY DEMO. ORGAN
New Daily, Not Tied Up
With Steel Trust Politics,
Now the Organ.

It has become known that the reason
the new four-page daily, the Gary Morn
ing Journal was started now that the
primary campaign is on is because the
democratic politicians of the city want
ed a newspaper that wasn't taking ord
ers and favors from the steel trusts po-
litical department
For the City Campaign.
AS far back as last falls national
campaign Gary and Lake county demo-
Gratis felt that there would be need of a
real democratic newspaper during the
citv campaign This became more ap-
parent when the Post. formerly demo-
cratic. began to do the laundry work for
the steel trusts political department by
assailing conditions in Gary-as cleo
tion time approached. The resentment
was not so much because conditions
were attacked, but because they were
tolerated until election time and then
some people began OF put onsmore vir-
tue than an archangel
No one has accused the Post of being
in the reform business for its health
and the fact that its editor is holding
a democratic appointment as postmaster
did not deter it from its alleged sub
mission to the steel trust,

RADIATORS

Do your radiators radiate?
Or do they spend their days
and nights singing, whistling,
carousing and whooping it up
around room corners? And do
they wake up in the morning
hiccoughing and belching and
looking dissipated?
Ours do. And we swear by
every icicle on our mustache
that before we rent again we1l
ask the landlord how his radi-
atorS spend their evenings.
"Will this radiator care"
We'll ask, whether we freeze
to death ?" And if the landlord
answers evasively, we'll go
elsewhere.
Big, husky, intelligent look
ing radiators like ours, that
stand around and hiccough and
sing soprano at seven o'clock in
the morning have certainly
gone to the devil and there's no
hope for them.
We don't think much of radi-
ators anyhow. Base-burners
and round oak stoves may have
had their faults, but they knew
their business.
