will cast their ballot as they please. The strictly party voters are becoming less In number at each election and men who were found In the ranks this year may be found on the other side when another Issue cornea up. The proposed charter was not intended at Crst to bo a party measure, at least the hands of the leaders were well gloved until toward the end when both sides urged their men to get Into the ranks. According to the mayoralty election one might have expected that the stamp of approval would be put on anything- which wa3 championed so highly by a man like Mayor Basse, whom the people of Chicago put In the chair only a few months ago, or at the worst it might have been figured that the difference would not be very large. What was the answer? The same men who in April carried Eusse on their shoulders to his new seat, buried him and his followers in a veritable landslide in September. Political dopesters are now giving all kinds of reasons why the measure took such a turn but overlook one, that the people are beginning to know what they want and will take or reject it irrespective of the advice of party leaders.

THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Thero does not seem at present to be any particular reason to speak of the accomplishments of the board of public works or to call public attention to work that has almost become routine with the members, and yet when tho work of tho board for the closing of the summer season is reviewed, a little expression of congratulation for the city at large as well as a word of approval for a state law that creates the board, is not out of place. In other .cities whoro things are done on a smaller scafe and where there is not the rush and hurry that is manifested in Hammond, another system to dispose of the board of public works might bo adequate, but not In Hammond. A board of public works, such as it has, is Just what Hammond needs. It is not an uncommon thing to find the three members in tho last corner of the city looking after a matter that may be trivial, but which needs to bo looked after. Iiegularly three times a week and sometimes oftener, the board meets in regular session to dispose of accumulated business or to advise plans and specifications for new Improvements. Every member is in touch with every condition of the city. Some matters may seem to be lagging somewhat, while others appear to be of too largo proportions for the board to undertake just now. There is an occasional remonstrance as might be expected in a community of between 25,000 and 30,000 inhabitants but on the whole the work of the board meets with the approval of tho people of Hammond. Their acts in the past have been found to be wise and with each week, the confidence of the public that wa3 strong from the beginning, is growing. The Bummer season is nearing the close but with the dispatch that Hammond's board of public works disposes and opens new business there is good hope that much Will yet be accomplished during the fall.

THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE FOOLED.
Taking results from tho two recent Chicago elections, the first for the mayoralty, and tho second In the nature of referendum on the proposed charter there is a poignant, conclusion to bo reached for champions on all sides, viz: That tho majority of voters not only in Chicago but in general
While the blowing of Hammond factory whistles In announcing the start
and ending of work is not a nuisance, it could be bettered if the East St. Louis method was adopted. In spite of the numerous individual whistles, which vary from half to a full minute in blowing, one gigantic whistle for the entire town has been substituted with the result of uniformity in commencing and knocking off work. The whistle, which has been installed by the electric light company, can be heard for a radius of ten miles around East St. Louis. It consists of a trio of tubes, one six feet long and a foot in diameter. The other two are shorter. Tho result is a pleasing blend not shrill, but deep toned and far reaching. FISHING SEASON is almost over and then comes skating. Then the small boy can get all he wants of it if the weather man is kind to him and makes the ponds freezu over. LOOK OUT Sunday for "Mysterious Burglar." He will be at the Calumet theatre starting Sunday matinee and ending Wednesday evening Sept. 25. NO MOKE disorderly postal cards are being sent around South Chicago now since the police put a ban on them. THE STORM of Tuesday is the talk of the town yet. Many a person, lost a good night's sleep on account of it. BASEBALL IS out of season in South Chicago since Jake Stahl had to abandone the South Chicago ball park. WHILE THE ban is on straw hats, winter is near and we can use the winter hats. IS THE Illinois Steel company getting good? Only one accident this week so far. THE WORK on the new sewer is progressing rapidly.

WITH THE EDITORS
Mr. Conger is Eight. The Indianapolis papers continue to abuse Sid Conger, president of the state board of agriculture, because he had the temerity to intimate that inasmuch as Indianapolis benefits so greatly from the state fair she should lend it material financial support. Yet the whole state outside of Indianapolis is with' Mr. Conger in his contention. The state fair brings many thousands of people to Indianapolis, crowds her stores and hotels, and advertises her advantages. The state of Indiana pays
the bill. It is the old story of Indianapolis grabbing everything in sight and becoming angered when fault is found with her greedy program. As the News has previously remarked, the state fair is in reality the In
dianapolis fair and should be financed
and managed by that city without help from the outside. Indianapolis can well afford to assume this task, for the returns are exceedingly rich. At all events the state of Indiana should drop out of the game. For no longer is that state fair an educational institution in any sense of the word. It Is merely a big carnival, where pleasure seekers and the light-minded are afforded rare opportunities to make goo-goo eyes and spend their money. Fort Wayne News.

Just now when those heart-breaking Sox need our sympathy most and when we could do most good by giving them the glad hand, duty calls them eastward where they must fight their last eastern battles. The champs are in Washington today. Two games are
scheduled for this afternoon instead of tomorrow. Cantillion is anxious to clear the docket as early as possible and Informed Sullivan so upon his arrival in Washington. The bulk of the work is expected to fall on White, Smith and Altrock and possibly Patterson. For some weeks every series was said to bo telling the story for the Sox but it was never truer than just now when they are in the east. The Athletics are driving one spike after another in nailing the pennant and consequently the Sox dare not fall a stroke if they want to finish the Job

Koseben, peerless sprinter among the thoroughbreds of America is dying of blood poisoning. Ills temperature tonight had reached the alarming stage of 130. At a late hour little hopes were entertained by Owner David Johnson or Trainer Frank Weir for his recovery. Itoseben has been a veritable gold mine for Johnson. Ever since the day he bought him at a weeding out sale of John A. Drake's horses three years ago for $4,300 he has been a source of great profit to his owner. He has won many stake events of note and value and has scarcely ever been beaten when raced over short distances.
