PLEA FOR GOOD ROADS.
Automobiling is becoming so popniar a sport that it Las the right to public recognition. The mania has .struck Hammond and in fact the whole of Lake Countv. And it is becoming more and more a matter for discontent that the
roads from here to Chicago ;ire in no better condition than they are.
From Hammond to the White House, conditions are fairly good, but from
thrf on tn Ph h-;i L-n the road a are almost impassable. Throughout the entire
distance thev are filled with bumr-s and hollows, ruts and ridges, sand and
mud, until a ride over them reminds one of the old time Corduroy roadway.
There is no reason why the roads from here to Chicago should not b better than they are. The automobiles are not tho only vehicles that would be benefited by the improvement. There is a vast amount of traffic between South Chicago and this region of which the automobile traffic is only a part
and drivers of wagons complain as well as those of automobiles.
The big machines which whizz so swiftly over the thoroughfares may not
be popular with those who do not own them. Neither were bicycles popular
with persons who did not rid The humble bike, however, accomplished one thing during its brief, but strenuous reign. It was the means of Improving the roads throughout the entire country. Another step in this direction is needed now and if the automobile serves as a means to that end, it will have
to some extent made amends to its maligners for its existance.
WOULDN'T YOU FEEL like swearing, if you happened to live in Hammond yesterday and after walking the strectts all day your eyes got full of sand, your hair full of dust and your body covered with dirt, because of the neglect of the city ofliclals in compelling the sprinkling of the streets, and just as the skies darkened and the rain began to fall in big drops you should see the street snrlnkler brousrht from its hiding place and the water wagon man would for
the first time during the day moisten the pavement? B-r-r-r-r-r-, W-O-W.
TTFGF.v"ISCII IS OFF THE the map. The sole reason for its existance has
been removed. Batting Nelson has joined the majority the has was-ers.

NDIANA STATE HEWS
The sporting fraternity are still chewing over the outcome of the BrittNeison f.ght and it is funny to hear the drpe passed out. Nelson was in awful shape after the bout and could not sit up, while a physician had to be called ir the morning to attend his arm, legs and stomach. He was covered with scars but he took the outcome logically and said that he had been treated fairly and was beaten. Cans will probably fight Britt labor day.
A few changes took place in the major leagues yesterday when both Detroit and Philadelphia passed Cleveland, the latter team was trounced at Boston by a score of 14 to 1 and Philadelphia and Detroit won. The three ttaraa are but a short distance behind the Sox. The latter team has been strengthened by the purchase of Hickman from Washington and lie will join the Sox today.
The time for buying new material is at hand and yesterday a few minor leaguers were signed up for next seaeon. The Boston Americana bought Joe Collins, outfielder from Springfield. Ohio, the Tigers got a new pitcher, George Suggs of Memphis, while Clark Griffith is after McFarland the old St. Louis twlrler now managing the Oklahoma t. am. The Reds sold Lefty Davis to St. Paul yesterday.
It was announced last night that all Canadian amateurs in good standing can enter the Jamestown meet, although the A. A. U. is out with the Canadian organization. Some different from the way the English authorities treat our boys.

One of the President's Blunders
It was really an awful crime when President Roosevelt In his impulsive way "butted" into the affairs of Santo
Domingo. The results proved
and are another telling indictment against his administration. He not only made the islanders stop fighting among themselves, but he forced the foreign creditors of the island to take somewhere near the actual value of their claims. What could have been worse? Reports now show that under the
administration of the representatives of this government the custom receipts of the island have increased nearly fifty per cent over the estimate of two years ago. For the fiscal year ending in 1906 the estimate was $2,114,000 and the actual receipts $2,502,000. For the year just ended the estimate, was $2.5S0,000 and the receipts $3,1S1.000. The total, revenues are also a fourth greater than formerly, while instead of expending vast sums to suppress tho ever present resolutions this money is now used for roads and other internal improvements. The people are actually becoming so used to peace that they are in danger of prefering it to guerrilla warfare. They are growing prosperous and contented. By tho time their foreign debts are paid and the obligation of this country

A New York Estimate of Darrow.
Clarence S. 1 'arrow now being well advertised by Ids connection with the Haywood defense, an address delivered by hini to the inmates o the Chicago county jail luis been republished. Here are some of its helpful and wholesome nuggets: I do not believe there is any sort of distinction between the real moral condition of tho people- in and out of jail. One. is Just as good as tho other. The people here can no more help being here than the people outside can avoid being outside. I do not believe people are in jail because they deserve to be. They are in jail simply because they cannot avoid it on account of circumstances which are entirely beyond their control and for which they are in no way responsible.
There ought to be no jails, and if it i tion
were not that the people on the outside are so grasping and heartless in their dealings with the people on the inside.

Indianapolis, Aug. 2. In a letter written today by the railroad commission, Fred L. Feick, chairman of the legislative board of railway trainmen, is haned a weil peeled and beautiful shaped lemon. Mr. Feick has bombarded the commission recently -with complaints about the failure of railroads to observe the several laws passed by the last general assembly, but he lias not been specific. Hence the commission had nothing but generalities to guide them, and they are
not at all effective in enforcing the laws. "In a number of instances," says the
letter, "you have been asked to make
your information specific, and
have failed to do so. "If you know of employes who are being made to work in violation of the sixteen hour law, you should furnish this commission

Issy drove a cannon ball at him in the first that nearly took off his wing and probably slowed him up. Seven hits came off his delivery in
three innings and Case Fatten took up the work and was followed by Gehing. Frank Smith was in the points
