TILE CHICAGO-TOLEDO SHIP CANAL.

It is understood that Fcnator Hemenway Ins prepared a resolution providing for the preliminary surveys necessary to the building of a ChicagoToledo ship canal. This Is the tlrst definite step in a movement that Is of as great importance to the Calumet region in Indiana as the realizing of the dream of a great lakes to the gulf waterway. There can be no question that eventually there will be a canal through northern Indiana and northern Ohio, which will connect the southern end of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie, and in this manner save the 1,2000 miles that ''it is now necessary for ships to cover in the trip by water from Toledo to Chicago. In fact President Roosevelt sounded the keynote in his address at Memphis when he said that the government should spend more money for the development of its inland waterways, and pointed out the fact that the cheaper freight rates secured in this manner would help to regulate rates on the railroads. The direct benefit of such a canal, together with the proposed lakes to the gulf canal, to the Industries of the Calumet region, would be to provide ' the cheapest freight rates in the world, both to and from eastern and southern shipping points. It will be seen that the vast territory, which is now embraced in the corporate limits of Hamnrbnd, "Whiting, East Chicago and Gary, would then bo the meeting point of these great ship canals, and as this is already one of the greatest railway centers in the world who can predict the industrial future of the region? It is likely that the first point where the Chicago-Toledo ship canal

will touch Lnkn Michigan will be Clary and with the building of the Calumet auxiliary to the drainage canal and the dredging of the Calumet river between Gary and Hammond, there will be afforded to shippers still water all V.the way from Toledo to the gulf. The possibilities of the project and Hie proballttos of its execution are bo great that the people of the Calumet region should begin at once to make preparations for the future. The surveys that are made by the government of the Calumet river between Hammond and Gary, should provide for a wide straight channel, and the river between Hammond and the forks west of town should be straightened before it is improved. In fact the whole waterways development in this region should be made with the probabilities of the future always in mind. The first evidence of short slghtedness in this respect is the manner in which the Calumet river Is being bridged at Gary. The concrete structure that is being erected by the United States Steel company at the Broadway crossing of the river, is being put in as though the Grand Calumet river was no more than a sewer. The bridges that are being built by the Lake Shore. Baltimore & Ohio, and Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern railroads over the Calumet river, east of Gary, provide for only the How of a rivulet instead of a river. It is apparent from this that the United States Steel company has a splendid contempt for the river which the people of Hammond have long looked upon as the future great harbor of the Calumet region. The most urgent need in the Calumet region is the co-operation of such cities as Hammond, East Chicago and Gary in the development of a waterways program that will be inclusive in its scope and which will be framed by men with enough foresight to plan for the most remote development of the future.

KEEP OUT THE

In an address before the Indiana Teachers' association at Indianapolis, Superintendent Edwin G. Cooley of the Chicago schools, who has been carrying on a war against high school fraternities, said: 'these secret organizations are spreading with the rapidity of a plague. "Originally," said he, "they seemed to meet certain legitimate demands in university life, but their influx into the high, and even into the elementary schools, has seemed to be without a legitimate excuse." The growth of these fraternities and sororities, the speaker said, since IS03, has b-?en such that their ir.tluenoe on scholarship and discipline has forced tpon school authorities the problem of controlling or destroying them. The problem of high school fraternities is indeed a big one in the schools In some of the larger cities. All efforts to eradicate them have met with stubborn resistar.ee on the part of the students, and in some cases the parents themselves. "Wherever these societies exist it is a noticeable fact that the students

are divided into cliQiies. composed of those who belong to fraternities and sororities and those who do not. The members of the secret orders are almost uhvays imbued with an idea of their social superiority that is not compatible with the spirit of democracy that is supposed to exist in the average American public school. Not only that, but the high school boys and girls try to Imitate their brothers in college to the extent of taking up with their follies to the exclusion of their advantages. In some places the boys have their fraternity halls where they learn to smoke, drink and gamble with the idea that to make a good imitation of a Heidtdbcrger they must become proficient in all of these vices. False ideals are set up and tilings are viewed in tiie wrong perspective. In fact, membership of the high school "four hundred" in many large cities is dependent upon the fact of a student's affiliation with the "frats." Of ail the conceited know-nothings that aer to be found together at one time, of nil the cads and would-be aristocrats, of all the dressed up wouldbe "society killers." it is hard to find them more homogcniously selected than in the average high school fraternity. Hammond is to be congratulated on the fact flat its high schools are free from the discipline destroying, character shattering influences of seertt organizations. And heavy will be the responsibility of the superintendent of schools, who in the future permits the organizing of high school secret societies, if such a thing is ever brought to pass. 4 RICHMOND PEARSON HOBSON wants to start an official weekly publication for the printing of reports from the various governmental bureaus. A suggestion for a name: The Weekly Osculation.

BOUT FAST AND BLOODY ONE Italian Had Better of Early Rounds But. Spring Valley Boy Evens Up. Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 31. The fastest, bloodiest and cleverest fight ever witnessed in a Milwaukee ring was fought between Billy Papke and Hugo Kelly at Schlitz park last night. After ten rounds, during which the fortunes of war wavered from corner to corner. Referee Malachy Hngan declared the. fight a draw. Both men went to the- floor in the course of the light. Panke decorating the mat in the first round and Kelly' hitting the floor later in the battle. At first it appeare.l ns though Kellywere a sure and early winner, but Papke held on, standing up against a rain of blows which only championship material could deliver, and which only championship grit could, withstand. Holh are Wild at Time.. Both men were wild at times, but Kelly seemed the surer. The bull-like rushes of the miner were backed by too much muscle to allow Kelly to make use of his evident greater skill. The first blow brought the juice from Papke's face. The tight was yet young when there was a stream of gore flowing from Kelly's physiognomy. The crowd went wild at times ns the rushes of one or the other of the two battlers were seemingly on the point of hammering his opponent into insensibility. No less than 5,000 persons saw the mill. Every seat was sold and large sums of money changed hands on the result. Thrve Kuin'k-DoniiH Scored. There were three knock-downs during the ten rounds, though none was a clear case of a count, except the first, when Kelly sent Papke down for three. The other two were to Papke's credit. Kelly being sent to his knees. He was up again and at it in short order. The story of the fight by rounds gives Kelly apparently the better of the game, but the actual scoring of the blows landed is not the whole stoiy of the battle. It makes no allowance for the strength displayed by Papke. Kelly Mas more of the sparring order, and landed possibly more frequently than Papke. He landed hard. but Papke's rushes repeatedly had Kelly apparently all to the bad. That Kellywas aide to remain on his feet aft r the battering he received speaks' well for his stamina. Chicago Sports on Hand. There was a big crowd of Chicago sports here for the mill, to say nothing of the ans from Peorla and Bloomington. Before the tight the odds were 4 to 3 on Keily. but when the Papke Knnnorters arrived the shift was to t h Papke side of the board. When 'he men wtiit into the ring I'apke money was being waved, but without takers. Meanwhile down, town there was Keilv money untaken. j Another match seems certain. Poth I men said, after the battle, they w,er j sure oi ieiory in case or a second ! meeting. I'apke claims he hammered Kelly to a pulp.

Round 2. Papke had practically no defense against Hugo's clever work and Kelly landed at will. At the end of tiie round I'apke was grinning, as he had worked Kelly into a corner and was handing it out hard and fast to the Italian press agent prince. Round 3. I'apke took the lead in this round and rushed Kelly to the ropes Kelly resorting to uppercuts to drive off the miner. I'apke tried a dozen uppercuts, but failed to land one of them. Round 4.

Both men were bleeding badly from mouth and nose, with I'apke clinching repeatedly to save himself from further punishment. Itoth Mm HIeed Prof iiaely. Round C Papke continually tried for Kelly's jaw, but failed to land. Kelly was weakened badly by the body punishment, but Papke's jaw was bleeding badly from Kelly's continuous punishment. Round T. Papke rushed in, landing heavily, but Kelly came back with a succession of uppercuts. which helped balance the count. Papke clinched repeatedly. Round S Papke. after some infighting, backed away to deliver the finish ing blow, but Kelly s footwork saved him. Both men were covered with claret, but the honors were even for the round. Round 9 Papke landed hard op Kelly's chin and it seemed that Kelly would go down with another blow. He saved himself by dancing away, and. though hanging to the ropes at the finish of the round, was still on his feet. Round 10. Both men wero badly tired and bleeding. They started in Tcith a tornado of blows, but Papke had easily the better of it, landing uppercuts regularly. Kelly, however, pushed Papke back as the gong rang.

The second defeat was given to Columbia Saturday night, when Wabash made a score of 25 to 15 for Columbia. Friday night's game was 22 to 20 in Wabash's favor. Tomorrow night the team will play the strong Muscatine (la.) five, which is now making a 15 ooo mile tour throughout the country-.

'HI v1 ' ? I The Dainty Ami rican Comm Litt Jienlle e M.l.l. w tp.' WITH THE EDITORS Our Anti-Saloon Crusade. The reasons given for the spread of the anti-saloon movement in Indiana, by the professed engineers of that movement, include several considerations in all of which the principal or sole thought is that the saloons, and largely- the brewers, have brought all this trouble on themselves by their own actions. With tiiis assertion, so far as it goes, we have no quarrel. Brewery politics and disreputable saloons have brought trouble to the liquor traffic, just as the high handed acts of railroads have brought reprisal; just as the overweening presumption of political spoilsmen engendered the spirit that brought civil service reform to pass; just as municipal corruption at the hands of traction, gas and lighting companies has aroused our cities against them. But the anti-saloon promoters choose to ignore one very potent influence without which their efforts would probably have been vain. That influence is the bitter hostility aroused against the liquor traffic by women and boys now grown to manhood, who have suffered from its ravages. The anti-saloon movement very largely rests upon this feeling, which is not greatly concerned with the political ictivity of brewers or the enforcement of early closin ordinances. In a word, the crusade is chiefly one of sentiment, and only incidentally one of logical reasoning processes. A very good evidence of it Is afforded in the f Mdaniciitii 1 attitude of the reformers toward the liquor business. Their hope is, if one can elicit from them the truth, neither to make the saloons obey the law nor to confine them to one part of town more than another, but to exterminate them; and not only them, but the stuff in which they deal. If all the saloons in Indiana were to obey the laws and ordinances to the letter tomorrow and if the brewers were to abandon at once and for all any- efforts to protect their business from hostile legislation, it would not stay the anti-saloon movement in any degree; it would only encourage its devotees to fresh activity. There is one act that can render a brewer a desirable citizen in the eyes of his opponents, and only one; and that is to stop making beer. There is one course of rectitude and decency by which a saloon can acquit itself blameless in the eyes of its antagon ists, and only one; and that is to close its doors never to open them. We have said that nothing short of extinction can satisfy or appease the movement of the saloon. The as sertion should be qualified. Nothing short of that extreme penalty will sat isfy the directors of tiie present movement; but there comes a point in crusades of this sort where the average disposition of the community begins to fail away from the advancing I ground of the leaders. Some who resent distillery or brewery lobbies to pursue those Interest further, once these activities are abandoned; some who regard the saloon as an evil are, nevertheless, unwilling to see the open drinking place superseded by the covert and demoralizing regime with which prohibition states disgrace themselves; some who practice total abstinence themselves would revolt at a proposal liko that of Oklahoma. Georgia and Alabama, to make the liquor traffic; an outlaw and confiscate the property accumulated by it under existing laws. It is the danger of every such crusade as this that the community, wearied at length of its own abandon of zeal, sinks into lethargy ami reaction.
