DEMOCRATIC 'PAPERS OVER THE state of Indiana are deriving much satisfaction from the fact that Governor Hanly has seized the bit in his teeth and Issued a proclamation, calling for a special session of the gen eral assembly, the. first since the Gray session in 1885, to take place on Sept. 18. We fail to see where the democrats will get any satisfaction whatever out of it. They are endeavoring to find a breach between the governor and his party in which they can see defeat for the republican state ticket in November- They will need a powerful magnifying glass to see that. The need for a special session of the legislature may not be as potent to the people of Indiana as it is to Governor Hanly. That remains to be seen. There is no question but what the chief executive is not in consonance with the majority of the party leaders as to the wisdom of calling the session at the near approach of a presidential election. In deed, Governor Hanly's sincerity is questioned and his motives impugned. Never since his inauguration has Mr. Hanly been in perfect accord with all the members of the republican party. The fact is he doesnt want to be. As the governor of one of the greatest commonwealths in the land, he seem3 to be endowed with a desire to exercise every perogative and use every bit of power that has perhaps been unwisely given him. It is an extremely critical time in the campaign for Mr. Hanly to dig up what he calls an emergency, but it is not new ip the people of this state that the present governor is possessed of enough ego to make him think of nobody but his own glorification. He was become grossly infatuated with the idea of his omnipotence and just how far that extends will be found out when the special session of the assembly meets. The special session will not hurt either the republican platform or the republican party. If there is harmony in the counsels prevailing; a singleness of action in taking up the measures to be dealt with and a short session, there will be no harm done to the republican state ticket, and we predict that when the leg islature adjourns it will be found that the republicans in Indiana are stronger than ever. The session of the legislature will afford the governor a splendid opportunity to show that he has the welfare of the state and the future of the republican party in the state at heart. It will give him an opportunity to show whether he has been a much-maligned man or a true party leader in every sense of the word- But the democrats, who hope to see the republican party torn with strife and dissension as a re sult by the extra session, will be badly deceived. All the republicans have to do is to make good, and Indiana will go republican by a bigger ma jority than it did four years ago. FOR LABOR RICHLY DESERVES RECOGNITION. THE MIGHTY HOSTS OF LABOR in Lake county, have as elsewhere, resumed their toils today after their splendid celebrations in which they poured forth In throngs to observe the day set apart by governmental procla mation for their very own. It seemed as if Heaven itself yesterday was in accord with the spirit of the festal fect and Nature herself smiled on the workers. That the world itself is beginning to recognize the grandeur of labor, is made evident by its will ingness to give the tollers one day in the year which shall be sacred to them as a reward for the sweat of labor's brow and calloused hands in bringing forth the products of their work for the benefit of mankind. Labor was crowned king yesterday and the capitalist was made to realize its power and force. All that man has today for his need, his sustenance and his toil, Is the result of labor, without it he would be as helpless & the shipwrecked sailor stranded on a barren waste. The power of the artisan and the strength of the workingman have largely made the country what it is today and for that alone they are to be honored and respected. May the day dawn soon when universal sympathy and respect be given to the toiler who merits them so justly. May the king of labor be brought nearer and nearer to those who give him employment and may the powers of government give to him what is his by honest right, and without any fight on his part. MR- HERMAN REDDER says that he sees victory ahead for Mr. Bryan and then in the next breath confesses that his eyesight is bothering him. Now what do you know about that? Mr. Ridder is the esteemed editor, you will remember, who at first didn't know whether he wanted to support Mr. Bryan or not. He didn't and then he did and now Mr. Bryan is going to be elected? THE VOTERS IN THE CALUMET egion are getting so busy welcom ing back prosperity that they are having little time to play politics. There is little doubt, whatever, but that in November they will stamp the eagle so as to be perfectly sure that they have work through the winter. DON'T WORRY ABOUT the farmer, Mr. Bryan!

By EDWIN NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye. BE STRONG AND UNAFRAID. Fear is your deadliest foe. Also it is a figment of your fancy. And useless. Physiologists say fear impoverishes the blood, interferes with the assimila tion of food, attacks the nerve centers and lowers the physical powers. It makes a man physically unfit. If so, what must be its effect on the mind? It lessens one's ability to think, low ers his ambition, weakens his charac ter and affects his happiness. In short, all the forces of personality go in front of fear. Fear whispers to the young, strong to do and dare, and the strength be comes as water. It assails the middle aged, and the uplifted arm of energy falls inert. It torments the old and robs it of its peace. And yet Strong thief as it is, it is an abnor mal weakling, for it is the son of Ignorance and superstition. If one knows himself and knows life as it is, there is nothing anywhere to be afraid of. If one knows not him self nor life, fear is unavailing, use less. To put it plainly, there are two thing3 one should never fear first, what he can help and, second, what he cannot help. But, it is asked, how can one who has not natural courage overcome his bond age to fear? Easily. Every person is in the pos session of certain conscious powers. These powers may be concentrated, sharpened, projected into force. These powers are one's capital stock, which may be increased or reduced. If one listens to the suggestions of fear he will smother his faculty. But also He may say to himself: "I will be what I want to be, do what I want to do. I am captain on the deck of my own ship. My soul is greater than any fear. Shall I take counsel of my own creation?' If he says these things and acts on these suggestions he will overcome his fear and strengthen his faculty. Ter contra, if he doubts his power or neglects to use it his fear will mas ter him. So, if you have a fear, trample It un der your feet! Hold up your chin and be unafraid. Look the creature of your own fancy fairly In the face. Defy it. Take It to task. It will flee away. country as a lecturer. The two lec tures which brought him icito promi nence were entitled "Lee's Surrender' and "The Defense of Little Round Top." He was three times elected governor of Maine at a time when but two terms were usually given to one man. He was elected president ' of Bowdoin college and held that posi tion until 1880, when he resigned. He has since served as surveyor of the port of Portland.

Many window panes were broken by hailstones, and the tobacco crop in and about Boon ville is lost. Night riders could not have done more damage in one night. WOX'T PUBLISH ASSIGNMENTS. At the northwest Indiana M. E. con ference in Attica the appoinments of the ministers are being held back until the last thing before the session ad journs. This evening Bishop Berry ab solutely refused to mke known his de cision regarding any of the appoint ments, even to the smallest of the churches. MAXY HEAR THE FIDIJLERS. At the old fiddlers' contest at Mounds Park in Anderson, today, old fiddlers tried for honors. When Mayor Ter hune arose to address the audience there were at least 5,000 people gath ered about the grand stand. Mr. Ter- hune in troduced J. H. Forkner, who, in a brief address, told of some of the old fiddlers he had known. tage he certainly holda his self respect. Well, it took a long time to work off all that Merry Widow noise.

IN POLITICS The Australian ballot system wa3 employed recently by the Indians of the Klamath reservation in Oregon ir. an election to choose twelve new chiefs to represent the tribes In their busines relations with the whites. Former Governor George P. McLean of Connecticut, who was generally supposed to have retired permanently from active politics, has announced his intention to enter the race for the United States senatorship. Three candidates are contesting for the United State3 senatorship in the state of Washington. They are Levi Ankeny, who is a candidate for re-election. Congressman W. L. Jones and Judge W. H. Shell of Tacoma. James II. Veahy, the lawyer who do fended Charles Tucker in the noted Mabel Page murder case, appears to be the most likelv candidate for gov ernor of Massachusetts on the demo cratic ticket this fall. It is said by those who are keeping in close touch with the political situa in Center township, this year, that the spliting of tickets at the polls next November will be nearly a minus quan tity. The republicans and democrats seem to be entirely satisfied with the material they have placed in the field this year, and will run them on their own merits, asking no favor of the opposition as has been done in somo former elections. The campaigner will endeavor to have every voter comu out and show his real colors this year and the man on the fence will got short shrift from the workers of eithor party. The "republicrat" of four years ago will be a hard thing to find during the coming election and either party candidate counting on the vote of the opposition will be badly disappointed.

LOOKS FOR A BIG ENROLLMENT. Gary Schoola Will Begin Today With Expected Increase. Today the public schools of Gary will open up for their second year. The teaching force will be nearly doubled and the number of students are ex pected to Increase 50 per cent. Where last year there were but fifteen In structors employed at the end of the year, when there was the largest at tendance at the public schools, there will be twenty-eight employed at the beginning of this year, andit is ex pected that a large number of others will be engaged before the school year is closed. Before the end of the present school year Superintendent Wirt looks for the number of students to increase until the enrollment reaches over fifteen hundred. This means that the school building will be Inadequate and that more of the portable buildings will have to be ordered before the year is very far gone. The present school building, it is expected, will be crowded at the start. NEW FIRE CHIEF FOR WHITING CHOSEN. Mat Collin Appointed Leader of the Oil Clty'a Fire Fighting Force. Whiting.
