VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Earl, chief commissioner,
Mr. Editor: I note that Mr. E. E deputy fish and game
states that six deputies are on duty in the lake region in the northern part of the state, where just now a number of
people are enclined to hunt oucks in violation of the law. If the people of the state will sit up and take notice they will find Mr. Earl will fill the state with deputies, whose duties will be to procure delegates to the next state convention, rather than protect the fish and game of the state. Not the chain and the reasons for so doing. Mr. Earl is chief deputy of Mr. Z T. Sweeney, the commissioner of fisheries and game, and Mr. Sweeney U the father-in-law of Hugh T. Miller, who want3 to be governor. For two years this department has made very little effort to protect the fish and game of the state, preferring to reserve the funds so that they can now be used to pay a large force of deputies, and this turns a neat political trick. There is no
department In the state that has been
run as "rotten" as this department. Mr.
Sweeney through Earl, puts on deputies
at his will, pays them what he likes, allows what expenses he sees fit, and there is nobody to question his work, or what he does. I sincerely trust that the people of the state of Indiana, and particularly Lake county, will not be deceived by such methods. If I may be allowed, Mr. Editor, the privilege of using a small space in the columns of your paper, I will later on show tip some of the underground workings of this department, and also show the Increase of deputies throughout the state.

South Chicago, Oct. 26. (Special.)
Accompanied ly over one hundred
rooters, the South Chicago football team will invade Lowell Sunday to
witness the game between the down
county boys and the lads from Illinois,
In meeting the Lowell team the South
unicago men Know tney are goir up against no mean aggregation of ay-
ers. Coach Frank Maloy, ex-Notre
Dame player, who is coaching the Low-
11 team is quoted as saying that he
nau turned out a better team this year than any previous year, and that he was satisfied they would easily score
on the South Chicago team. Coach
Sturdy" Joe Ellison, of the South Chi
eagos nas expressed himself as con
fident of winning but will predict no
score owing to the so far unknown
quality of playing by the Lowell team,

being the Alma Maters and Jake Stahl's
team. There always has been a friend
ly rivalry between these two teams and although the Alma Maters are composed of younger players they main
tain an idea that they can hold the regulars to a pretty even game, so Stahl has decided to give the young
sters a chance by playing them on the
South Chicago grounds Sunday.
"Olsky" Leverenz will be in the box
for the Alma Maters against Doc Hilderbrand for Stahl's aggregation.
Previous to the game a baseball field
meet will be held. In which fungo hit
ting, bunting, base running and place
hitting will be the principal features.
Suitable medals will be given the win
ner of each event.
Quite a number of minor players
throughout the city have signified their
intention of entering the meet, which
will be open to all players. At least
fifteen hundred people will be out to
witness the last game of the season
to be played In South Chicago.
The game will be called at 1:30 sharp

Editor of Lake County Times: As a citizen of East Chicago, permit me to
inform you that you are off when writintr about a change of name for
East Chicago, for nothing can be fur
ther from the minds of the citizens of East Chicago than the parting with its justly popular name. The East Chicago Globe is right when, after quoting your article, it advises you to
"Guess Again, Brother." The citizens of East Chicago are quite aware and are very proud of the fact that they
have in its name "a pearl of great price." So Tub Lake County Times need not worry about East Chicago thoucrht of changing its
