Mrs. Specter of the cafe, visit In Chicago yesterday left for a afternoon. The supply of scrapers anl tools which the town purchased for its work on South Broadway arrived yesterday. Mr. Miller, the carpenter, expects to complete the installation of the new seats of the school building today. Deputy Prosecutor Briggs is busy on his first case. Several minor offenders are to be brought to time for their continued violations. Mr. Butcher, who has been ill for some time left for Chicago this mornIns where lie expects to take treatment in a hospital. Mr. Frederiksen ,of Frederiksen & Baker is at "Wesley hospital in Chicago. Dr. Walsh advised his removal thither in order that his case might have the proper attention and care. Harry Burge and Giles T. "Warner, prominent business men in Hammond, interviewed local men yesterday on business prospects. "Kid" expressed his regrets at not being able to come over in his machine. The Michigan Central local men are rather obnoxious in their persistent threats to put up the fences on Broadway. A little of Brother Cox's summary action may be needed to convince them that the people have a few rights here as well as elsewhere. Harry Gordon is now running his ealoon in full blast, even forgetting to close up oh holidays. lie probably forgot to take a calendar along with him when he moved. He has had the trees and brush trimmed out from his place to the "Wabash so that any thirsty wanderer will not miss seeing the inviting retreat. Up-to-date advertisers in Chicago appreciate the value of advertising hete. Several of the temporary building are plastered with huge posters announcing the coming of "Ben-Hur" to the Auditorium. If we had a theater train there is no doubt but that large numbers would avail themselves of the nearness to Chicago to see this and other plays, concerts and services. The board of education held their regular session last evening. Mr. Jewell was absent on account of work which prevented his coming. Supplies were ordered for the second school building and the proposition submitted by Mr. Danford to paint the two buildings was accepted. As soon as the second building is ready for occupancy tiio hnanl will take UD the work of compelling attendance of the children who aro not now in school. Fiftyfour are already enrolled but there are some seventy within reach of the Central building. Nathaniel P. Banks, Republican candidate for joint representative', made fences here yesterday. Any rumor to the contrary notwithstanding, you can always rely on finding "Tany" on the common people's side of every issue, a two minutes' conversation with him serves to reveal his sentiments on the questions of the hour. If the saloon combination that has been hitched up on the other side of the road is allowed to rilde into the office this fall Gary's contempt for Lake county's political sense will be shown In a decided manner several years hence. Charles I Surprise, deputy clerk of the United States court at Hammond visited here last evening, returning bv wav of Tolleston this morning. Mr. Surprise is one of the Lowell a number of whom are "making in this end of the county. boys, good" The Falkneau company aro erecting the building on Euclid avenue to be occupied by Dr. Jones this winter. Dr. and Mrs. Jones found the premature touch of winter a little too realistic and the company is hastening the construction so that a repetition may be aviodod. Crown Point Dr. Geiscl and bride will occupy the Heiser residence on East street. Fred lloide had an operation for the removal of an ulcer on his tongue this week. J. J. Wheeler will build a new resi dence on his new Court street lot as soon as the contractor can bo secured Treasurer Bailey will lot of gravel road bonds Monday. oner another for sale next Messrs.

Al. "Wilcox, the dredge man, is engaged in moving his big dredge from the Beaver dam ditch to the head of the Foss ditch near Hacker's half-way house, this week. Superintendent Curtis went to Lowell today to hold a joint institute of the Cedar Creek, West Crock and Hanover township teachers. C. M. Bcker is planning to add one or two more automobiles for hire to

his livery equipment as soon new garage is completed.

as his The present month is a busy one for the abstracters, as the unprecedented activity in real estate circles makes plenty of work in that line. Clarence Bamberg, who is employed as a job compositor in the Conkey plani at Hammond, has been confined to his home several days this week with a bad cold, which settled on his lungs. Misses Stella LaRoche and Lily Lamberg, who teach country schools in Hanover township went to Lowell today to attend a joint township institute. Attorney T. S. Fancher is planning to build a modern residence on the lot he recently purchased from Mat Boney as soon as the weather will permit in the spring. H. II. Meeker of the Crown Point nurseries is making arrangements for his fall deliveries. He reports that this year has been the most prosperous one in his 'history, both in sales of berriPs and small fruit and nursery stock. The public library board expects to select an architect for the building at their next meeting Monday night, and an effort will be made to secure the plans, let the contract and get the foundation built this fall. The funeral of the late R. will take place at his late North Main street Sunday at 1:00 o'clock. The G. A. II. II. Wells home on afternoon of which organization take charge he was a member, will and conduct the services. A lot of hue and cry is still being made in certain quarters over the fair grounds lease, which after being amended, is identically' the same as in the past. The fact of the matter is Lake county derives no revenue from the lease, as the rent money goes to the fair society, therefore if the fair society is satisfied, no one else need complain, and it is evident that the fair society is satisfied as they have already accepted one year's rent on the new lease. Tolleston Rudolph Schultis moved to Lake Station today. He is in the employ of the Aetna Powder company. W. S. Gallagher, of men, completed today belonging to with a large a cottage in Jacob Schoon. force Ross Charles Daugherty, sheriff of Lake county, was in town last evening. He is much respected by all who know him. Joseph' Conroy was here last evening and listened to the political speech of Mr. Boone, and judging from appearances, enjoyed it very much, although he Is of the Democratic faith. We are pleased to note that Mr. Fisher, superintendent of the Tolleston Lumber & Coal company, has nearly recovered from his recent illness and now seems quite like himself. D. K. Boone of Hammond was here last evening and 'delivered a short but able address on the political issues of the day. Mr. Boone has the reputation of being one of the most fluent speakers in Lake county, if not in the state. Democrats and Republicans alike enjoy listening to him. We are told that some of the saloonkeepers are displeased with the idea of being compelled to close their places of business on Sunday. It is no worse for them to comply with the requirements of the law than it is for any other business man. They ought to be glad to get one day out of seven for a little rest. If this is a bad law let it be enforced rigidly and the people will demand its repeal. We do not think it is quite just and right that the saloons be allowed to remain open in one community and not in another. Let them all comply with the law and not make flesh of one . and fowl of another. Valparaiso News. E. this L.

W ex tr n in He Paving; JYot Accepted. The city council held a special meeting at the city hall but the property owners of Sheridan avenue and Oliver street had the iloor. The vital question was to decide whether or not to accept the Westrumite paving on those thoroughfares, which is now supposed to have been completed. As these two street.' can boast of many of the best orators of the town, some very interesting things were said. It was not necessary to let the matter come to a vote as all expressed their opinions freely. Mr. Salters, who represents the Westrumite Co., of course thinks that the work should be accepted, but those interested, do not agree with him. They wish to know the reason for the wavy surface, unfirm paving and many other poor features of the job when they are supposed to have a smooth, clean street. ' Mr. Salter said the paving will soon become hard. ".Yes?," replied James .T. Nedjl, "winter is coming." Mr. Salter suggested that they appoint one man to decide the matter as he could do business with one man, but it was impossible to do business with one hundred and fifty. Of course that is no more than natural, but the property owners are perfectly satisfied to decide the matter as a whole, as they can see what they are getting and if Mr. "Westrumite" could talk to each one personally he could not change their opinoin of the work. The "heat" became so intense that about 10:30 the meeting was adjourned i Allien than at present.

The Tendency Toward Too Much Legislation By GEORGE R. PECK of Chicago. President American Bar. Association

AMES C. CARTER declared that the American people aro afflicted with a passion for legislation amounting almost to a disease. It ia undeniably true that the average mind believes in the possibility of REMEDYING EVERY EVIL BY5

STATUTORY ENACTMENT. That this idea is a false' and dangerous one all human experience attests. It is a significant, perhaps ominous, evidence of the changes in the popular idea of the legislative function that there is a vastly increased range cf subjects with which our statutes now deal. They are becoming largely too largely, I think merely ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGULATIVE, establishing rules for the direction and control of business activities, drawing lines of separation betweeu that which i3 and always was permissible and that which shall no longer be so ; establishing boards and commissions and providing for a scrutiny which more and more pries into affairs that once were supposed to pertain exclusively TO THE INDIVIDUAL primarily interested. H . All this is more or less irritating, for the shrinkage in INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY involved in it hurts. But it is folly to suppose that modern life can go on with its ever increasing complexity and legislators be silent. When legislators are considering a subject with which they may rightfully deal the temptation i3 strong upon them to go farther than is necessary or proper, but this is an infirmity of human, nature. In the summary of legislation from year to year there are manv statutes which might well have been omitted from consideration by the legislatures that passed them. Of all the bills introduced in any legislative body a comparatively small percentage become living enact

ments, and of these few ever reallv ENTER INTO THE LIEE of the community. I do not close my eyes to the fact that we cannot have a bewildering complexity in all our affairs and at the same time have PERFECT SIMPLICITY in government. But in all this turmoil the whirl of machinery, governmental and mechanical, the organization of labor and of capital, the throbbing of every pulse and the strain of it all to brain and to nerve what has become of the individual man ? The development of the state and of the institutions that collectively compose it is steadily proceeding, BUT HOW ABOUT THE UNITS? The one thing that we ought all to work for is to prevent the obliteration of men. THE DANGER OF TODAY IS THAT THE BEST AND MOST PROMISING OF OUR YOUTHS WILL BE GROUND UP IN THE WHEELS OF A RELENTLESS, INSATIABLE MECHANISM THAT NEITHER KNOWS NOR CARES.
