ECHOES OF q O

In the light of William J. Bryans recent state
ment that the people had accepted nearly all the
reforms he has advocated it is worth recalling that
in 1900 he ran for president on a platform declaring for;
1. Initiative. referendum and imperative mandate
. Public ownership and operation Of railroads,
telegraph and telephone lines. coal mines, etc.
s.. Prohibition OF alien ownership OF land. and
reclamation by the government of all land now owned
by railroads and corporations, and not used by them,
4 Fiat money; currency on a paper basis free
silver.
:. Graduated tax on incomes and inheritances.
and a constitutional amendment 10 secure it.
6. Election OF president, vice president, federal
Judges and United States senators by popular vote
: Public ownership CT public utilities.
These planks we're all included in the platform
adopted by the Peoples party that year, and Nj.
Bryan accepted The nomination Of that party Tor presi-
dent on that platform
That same year the democratic national platform
demanded the repeal OF the war taxes. and ! return
10 the tirle-honored democratic policy Of strict economy,
the '.scing Of a. trust-ma9e products on the free list.
ard ne prohibition of interstate commerce 10y any
corpo alton which has issued watered stock, and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of six
teen 70 enc without waiting foI the aid or consent OF any
other nation.

GARY's WONDERFUL GROWTH.

The L. S. census bureau Yesterday substantiated
Garys claim that she reigns supreme among Lake
county cities by announcing officially that Gary's popu-
lation numbered over $1,000 souls and ever since Gary
has been receiving congratulations. Hammond Is fore
ed to step back into second place with East Chicago a
close third. The only way for the North township cities
TO beat out Gary in the matter Of population Is to get
together and a~malgamate and that seems to be far in
the distance when their individual and collective growth
jams them all into one another and they cannot help
themselves in stopping amalgamation.
While many prominent Gary men insist that the
census enumeration has been somewhat slipshod and
that the city is nearer 65 5000 than 5000. there is
every reason to believe that Gary Will accept the figures
gracefully and shake hands with herself at her mar
velous growth. There was the same dissatisfaction
with the 1910 figures Of 1862 when announced. many
claiming a larger population. The trouble with Gary
is that her population is never the same for two sue
cessive days. She grows so fast that 1t is impossible
to keep track of It and nobody knows how much the CITY
has gained even since the 1920 enumeration was listed
What Gary's population in 1880 will be is CT
course a matter of speculation. pure and simple. but

freedom OF the press and the freedom CT speech before

regarding the talking against this country by foreigners:
II stand for the freedom of the press" declared
the vice president. 4 do not favor limiting that free

the fellow who is not an American citizen and who
causes trouble BY saying things against the [. S.
II believe that every man shall be permitted to
say what he wants to about the government. so long
as he Is an American and stays within the law. But
when he violates the law, urges others to violate the
law and sets himself in defiance OF the law OF this gov
eminent that is another matter.
As an American-born citizen of two generations
back II is my privilege to advocate in this country a

HARDING WORTHY OF ATTENTION.

Hammond will entertain Senator Harding. r%epubli-
can candidate fer president and one Of its sister states
distinguished sons tonight and the widely known can

address his audience on a subject which should thrill
them their duty to their country and every voter in
the city should bear the noted Ohioan who rose to his
present eminence from a poor boy and whose life has
been an open book during that period. Senator Hard

Dental candidate; as the city's guest we hope he Will
be greeted BY an immense crowd.
