Jesse Wilson Gives Views On Amalgamation of Hammond.

Jesse Wilson has the following to say in the Hammond Times about the proposed amalgamation of Hammond ana other cities of the Calumet region: “If Hammond is to amalgamate with the other north township cities, we must first of all agree among our Eelves in Haminond what constitutes a fair and euitable plan, and therefrom all opinions should be heard,” said Attorney Jesse E.. Wilson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, when asked for an answer to a criticism made last week by Roscoe E. Woods regarding his appointment of City Engineer Peter J. Lyons as a member of the committee. One of the objects of thuTcommittee is to sound out the public sentiment in the community and discuss an amalgamation plan that is fair and equitable for the city of Hanunond.i Even though there should be a disposition in the Hammond city administration to oppose amalgamation, the committee should knowwhat this objection is, and T Eave it from Mr. Lyons that he is not opposed to amalgamation that is fair and equitable. I dor not believe in backing a committee, which is to hear all sides. The East Chicago chamber saw fit to appoint him city engineer, and as for the charge that the appointment of Mr. Lyons would be unfair to East Chicago, let it be understood -that Hammond in amalgamating must not overlook its own interests; it must first agree within its own precincts as to what terms are acceptable.”

Now Maybe Ed Thacker Will. Keep Still About Checkers.

For the past year Ed Thacker, editor of the Monticello Journal, has been harping about the cleverness and superiority of the Monticello checker club over that of Rensselaer’s. The time of Ed’s harping is past. Monday night ended the reign of the White county artists. The defeat administered by the locals left no doubt as to the superiority of the two teams. When the Monticello team boarded a train for home they had thirty points to their credit while the Rensselaer club was boasting of forty-two. Monticelo never had a look in for the honors and. were a much chagrined bunch. The score for the evening shows that Stevens led the locals with 9 points to his credit. Hill was second with. 7%. McCarland and. Thomas third with 7 points; Maloney fifth with 614 and Halleck sixth with 5, which made a total of 42 points. For Monticello Tam led with 6%, Sills and Sprague followed with 514 each; Sharader and McGough had five each, Pingery had 2% points for his evening’s work.

Characteristics of Noted Persons

• * 111. Ben Franklin Although Benjamin Franklin never achieved the fame and honor accredited to some other men such as Washington and Lincoln, he seems to have been a very practical, useful, wonderful man. Washington’s fame, as well as Lincoln’s, was due to being successful in a great war; and war today is looked upon as almost an inexcusable calamity, except in the case of an inevitable crisis as in those which gave these men their fame. Franklin was more of a helpful genius, his greatest desire was to aid and benefit humanity in any way he could, whether in the small affairs of everyday routine work and business or the more important needs of city, state and Government. He wished to help people turn to better ways of living, to higher comforts and more elevated interests, to a life of thought and inspiration and progress personally, as well as toil and the acquirement of means.

Outside of the many missions to foreign countries and his,services as special representative of this country in those foreign countries, his most Srtant work was done as a pubr of books and papers and as a writer. No one familiar with his writings can doubt that he had the literary gift. His-diction is so plain and clear, his sentences support one another without hesitation or confusion and yet there is no air of any note of distinction or a suggestion of the imaginary or ingenious. You tread always the levels of the ordinary world and yet you are struck by the all-round effldenev and practicality of his wisdom and advice. His life and success for the most part was spent by an almost accidental choice in the then staid town of Philadelphia, and the things which he did were those that natural sagacity and a quick insight would suggest in a place where the common interest of an ordered community waited to be served. He possessed unusual diplomacy and tact, in that after being able to conceive projects that would better society, was also successful •• in persuading other men of their utility and in drawing them together in action to make a beginning so that the enterprises might get their natural and wholesome growth. (Tomorrow— Washington) t
