PETER MAK'S attitude towards the West Hammond village board continues to be this: Thumb to the point of the nose and fingers out spread. NOW that the McCullough bill seems to have been disposed of, those who are Btlll advocates of "home rule" have but one other means of securing for themselves and their friends relief from the tyranny of long distance rule. The new law, as did the old one, applies the metropolitan system to only those cities having a population of from 10,000 to. 35,000 inhabitants. It Is now estimated that Hammond has in the neighborhood of 25,000 inhabitants and when the industries which have recently been located are running, there
will be an addition to the population of 5.000 or 6,000 more. That will leave
only 4,000 or 5,000 people to be added
to the city to make up the required number and if the opponents of the metropolitan police law will take the
trouble they will probably locate an
other Industry or two, raise Hammond to a city of the first class and enable
It to demand "a charter. That looks
easy does it not?

Marion, Ind., has secured a factory

In its employ. It will require the pro
duce from 600 acres and farmers will go into tomato raising to supply the
demand, uhe factory was secured
through the efforts of the Marlon Commercial club, a hustling organization
which is doing much to advance the

Texas certainly is headed straight for the demnition bow-wows. Not only
has its junior senator donned a beau
tiful coat of whitewash, but" Its gov
ernor has appeared at a public func tlon In a spike-tail.
Never have sartorial affairs created
so great a hubbub In any state. Texas
has been the nation's center of im maculate simplicity. Unadorned de
mocracy has been dear to the heart of its people. It has clung to the
sombrero, the short coat or no coat
high boots, peg-heels and clanking
spurs. A quaint chivalry and a deli
cate appreciation of the niceties has never permitted a Texan to pound his traducer to a jelly, to use a dum-dum
bullet or shoot an opponent in the face
When Governor Campbell was a can
dldate for office a leather belt held
both his trousers and his six-shooter In place. His dome of thought was crowned y a slouch hat. Ha wore a loose, flowing alpaca coat over a homemade shirt. He was the eloquent unhitched champion of the people's rights. But now he has fallen to the lowest depths of degradation by actually appearing In a complete suit of evening duds, with an expensive laundered bosom unstreaked by tobacco stains and his face clean ehaven. No wonder Texas stops to catch its breath and take an Inventory to see if it is all there. Duluth News-Tribune.

Washington, I C, Marcn 8. me condition of Archie Roosevelt, the presi
dent's son, who is suffering from diphtheria, was more encouraging this morn
ing, although the patient is still In a critical condition. Dr. Lambert, the
family physician of the president, who arrived last night from New York, on
leaving the sickroom at 5 o'clock, said that Archie had slept fairly well since
2 o'clock and expressed hopes for the boy's recovery. Secretary Loeb issued the following statement at 9 o'clock this morning: "The physicians' report this morning is that Archie Roosevelt had a good night and his condition Is most gratifying. The president has been with the patient frequently, exercising the same precaution as the physician as to infection." Despite the fact that the president did not retire until 2 o'clock this morning he arose shortly after 6 o'clock and at once communicated with Dr. Kennedy, who had relieved Dr. Lambert at the sick boy's bedside. Mrs. Roosevelt passed almost the entire night in Archie's room.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE
rsew York, March 8. The best re
mark that I have heard is that this will be a good year for a rich man to
take an inventory of his property
although his income will probably be larger than a year ago. There are lots of bargains now, and on the weakness we think stocks ara a purchase, but
would take profits on rallies as the
talent expects lots of opportunities
during the year for Investing their
money well.
The market is still very nervous an
liquidations seem to be in evidence
more or less, which makes people hesi
tate to buy stocks. It is hard to form
an opinion as ions as mis constant selling pressure Is hanging over the market, and we believe that it Is wiser
to sell stocks on rallies, especially
long stock, which show any fair prof
It, and to buy stocks on breaks for
turns only.

He is a graduate of Pennsylvania State school of Technology and is only 27 years old. Like most successful engineers Mr. Herr is absorbed in his work and thinks and talks (when he does talk) of nothing else. He is a splendid executive and it is a revelation to see him directing this or that feature of the colossal work now being done on the lake front.
