The following from one of the Chicago papers is a description of the. banquet which was held recently at the Coliseum. The dinner was given by the Chicago Commercial association and the success of the affair is a hint of what might be done for the Calumet region if representatives from its four corners were to gather together and become imbued with the spirit of progress that is actuating some of Its successful men. "Twenty-four hundred Chicago business men, the backbone of the city's enterprise and progress, were the guests of the Chicago Commercial association at the Coliseum last night at the biggest dinner of business men ever held in the world. It was a "good fellowship supper" wit "I Will" as the motto with nothing elaborate and typically Chicagoan, and for four hours the men in whose hands rests the future of Chicago were in
spired with enthusiasm that means everything to the progress of what
they proudly proclaim the most enter prising metropolis in the world.
It marked the dawn of a real awak
ening, of a boom for Chicago sucn as enthused its citizens in the days before
the World's Fair. It was part of a
movement to create in Chicago an in terest for its progress and its better
ment that will sweep berore it every obstacle of indifference, selfishness,
partisan politics, weakness, and of fear. Its promoters declare it will strengthen its business intersts, its industries, its commercial enterprises, clean its streets, beautify its exterior,
and carry it onward as the most typ ically American city of the continent.' Hammond, Whiting and East Chi
cago have everything in common and
should work out a common destiny
There is not an industry that located
in this region that does not benefit, to a certain extent, every portion of it. For instance the people of East Chicago are counting almost as much on
the Standard hteel Car company as ure the people of Hammond and the
people of Whiting are counting on the Western Glucose company to increase
the prosperity of their city to an extent as are the people trtsdale.
It is a certainty and only a question
of a few years when the East Chicago
nolicemen will stand on one corner
swinging his club and gossiping with
a Hammond policeman on the oppo
site corner unless amalgamation unites
the two cities. With all three of these municipal! ties working out their problems indi
vidually they will be almost power
less to secure what they want in the
way of harbors, parks and boulevard
compared to the resources they would
have if the cities were united.
However, aside from the Question of
the desirability cr undesirability o
amalgamation there ought to be some
opportunity for the business men of
the entire Calumet region to get to
rether and talk over the plans for the
furthering of the progress of this sec
tion. Let the "I Will" spirit prevail here as it does in Chicago and wonders will be accomplished. The business men of the Calumet region are building a metropolis that many confidently believe will be the first city in the state in a few years and whether this metropolis is to be a ramshackle, thrown together, heterogeneous city or an orderly, closely knit community, will depend largely upon the extent to which the cities that are to compose it work together for a common end in this, the formative period of its history. Tho dedicating of the federal building, of which the whole county is proud, is the opportunity and it ought not to be neglected.
WITH THE EDITORS. Indiana to the Front. Indiana has not been one of the
states which have been most active in the movement to secure popular elec
tion of senators by amending the federal constitution. Not since 1890 has
the legislature of the state passed
any resolution on the subject, and
then Its resolution took only the mild
form of asking congress to propose
such an amendment.
This year, however, the spreading in
terest of the country in securing this important reform 'has affected Indiana to sucli an extent that it has become one of the first states this spring to adopt a resolution making a formal
demand for a constitutional convention
to consider the reform. Both houses of the legislature took action last Sat
urday. The preamble to the resolution Is worth reprinting. It reads: Whereas, We believe that the senators of the United States should be elected directly by the voters; and Whereas, To authorize such direct election an amendment to the constitution of the United States is necessary; and Whereas, The failure of congress to submit such an amendent to the states has made it clear that the only practicable method of securing a submission of such amendment to the states is through a constitutional convention, to be called by congress upon the application of the legislature of two-thirds of all the states; therefore, etc. This sets forth the situation compactly and exactly. The Indiana resolution should be fol
lowed by prompt resolutions from every other state which has a legislature in session this winter. Even where a state has within the last couple of years taken similar action, as is the case In Illinois, the legislature will do well to repeat the resolutions so as to make sure that no technical objection can be made to them on the ground that they no longer express the will of the state. It is a labor of the greatest difficulty to secure concurrent action from thirty state legislatures. In this matter of the popular election of senators it is safe to say that if a vote of the people could be taken on the subject the majority would be overwhelming in favor of the change. Indeed, a vote of ten to one would not
be improbable. And yet the obstacles
in the way of getting expression from
the state legislatures, which do not in
the individual case feel any
esnonsibility for action or
act, have thus far prevented success.
This Is, however, the year of hope.
If all the legislatures now in session
n states wnieii cieariy wuni uia
hange will pass resolutions demand
ing the caning or a constitutional convention success will be certain. Chicago Record-Herald.

which they certainly cannot do so long as they owe the printer. Do not forget that the time for preparation is brief besides we need the money to

When Thomas A. Edison was living in Menlo Park, a visitor from New
York said to him one day:
"By the way, your front gate needs
repairing. It was all I could do to get it open. You ought to have it trimmed,
or greased, or something." Mr. Edison laughed. "Oh, no," he said. "Oh, no." "Why not?" asked the visitor.
Because, was tne reply, every one who comes through the gate pumps two buckets of water into the tank on
the roof."

The next morning the unsuspecting teacher, in looking over his pack of exercises, found on,e pupil's problem unattempted, and the following note

The Referendum.
The trouble with the referendum
scheme in all its more advanced
phases lies in its reversal of principles of representative government. It has always been assumed that law
makers, who give their time to attending committee hearings and oth
erwise Investigating any question that
comes before them, can know more about it than the man on the street
who, with nine out of ten current pro
posals, would confess that he had giv
en them absolutely no attention. He
would be Influenced very largely by the
way the question was woruea. cer
tainly the adherents of any proposal
who could buy the most advertising space in the newspapers and elsewhere for setting forth the1- cause, wrould
have an advantage in wing before a popular tribunal which they would not possess if the arguments on both sides
could bo heard in a legislative com
mittee room, and analyzed according to the practices and precedents of our
representative system of government.
Had Smoot's seat in the senate de
pended upon a nation-wide popular
vote every state in the union, ex
centintr Utah, would have thrown a
majority against him. Who would
vote "les on. such a question as this:
'Should a Mormon apostle make our laws?" The projects which have found indorsement in popular balloting are often highly fantastic. Some years ago a western state voted in this way to manufacture all kinds of alcoholic liquors which could be sold within its limits, a project, which would have thrown the state into bankruptcy. Fortunately a lack of funds acted as a veto upon this decision. New York only recently voted by 150,000 majority to spend upward of $100,000,000 on a projected enlargement of tho Erie canal, which by almost common consent will be a monumental waste of money, with no reasonable return. The people, relieved of the restraints of the representative system, will give overwhelming majorities for any ex
penditure which makes work wages. Boston Transcript.

Educating Congressmen. The journey of the congressional party that is visiting Porto Rico, howbeit it has been described as a junket, has already borne good fruit. Speaker Cannon, who had been one of the obstructions to just measures for the promotion of Porto Rican prosperity, has had the advantage of hearing from Porto Rican lips descriptions of the effect of congressional neglect. Senor De Lego, speaker of the Porto Rican house, did not scruple to ex
press in the presence of the other
speaker his belief that Porto Rico's ca
pacity and fitness for self-government. It is not strange that Mr. Cannon was a trifle unready in his reply. Some-

not respond as easily as heretofore. It

INIetliodist Church Xearing Completion.
The new $30,000 Methodist church which is to adorn this city as a result of the enterprise of its 250 members, is now nearing completion and
the dedication will take place about the first of May. Architect J. T. Hutton and Contractor W. W. Parker have been instructed to make the building as substantial as possible and they have followed their instructions to the letter. The cost as given above includes the furnishings of the church, but does not include the organ or the finishing of the basement, which is to be used for social purposes and is to be converted
into a kitchen and a large dining room. The art glass Is to be one of the features of the church and will cost in the neighborhood of $1,200. The auditorium of the church will seat 700 people and the Sunday school room will hold an additional 350. There will be fifteen additional class rooms. A sky-light in the roof will be one of the features of the new church and will shed a subdued light over the whole auditorium. There wa3 an original building fund of $5,000 to start with, a large portion of which was donated by Mrs. Sophrona. WUcox and the Ladies Aid so
ciety. Later a subscription was taken and an additional $7,000 was raised. A special Sunday service was then held, at which the Rev. Parr was the principal speaker, and $3,500 more was raised. This made the building fund approximately $15,000 and it is believed that it will be compartively easy to raise the rest. One noticeable thing about the build-
of this church is the interest tnat been manifested by all of the
ing has
members. Including the children m th Sunday school, who took it upon themselves to raise $600, $400 of which has already been paiJ church building fund,
