HOW ABOUT A

Wouldn't it be a good ideato. Interest the school children of the Calumet

reeion in the work? The school children as allies in the "From all over the country -one hears rushed by the herds of little workers cause. From Spokane comes the following

pickup-cheanup idea and an enlargement to speak: Spokane, "Wash., April 24. Fifteen thousand school children have been organized by the city beautiful committee to devote Saturday, April 25, to the planting of ' trees, shrubs and flowering vines as a fitting climax to the annual cleaning week in Spokane. The plan is indorsed by Mayor Herbert, R. E. Blaxer. citypark superintendent, and J. A. Tormey, superintendent of city schools. The municipality will furnish free of cost from its green houses the cuttings and slips required for beautifying thet school grounds, while thousands of trees, shrubbery and vines will bef contributed by the residents of the city. Each participant is to plant at least one tree. The committee has organized the Spokane Tree Planting association with 10,000 certificated members among the children above the third grade in the public schools. Any pupil promising to plant at least one tree or shrub a year is eligible to full membership, free of all cost. The certificates give full instructions for taking up and transplanting trees and shrubs. To defray the expense of forming the association, special memberships have been sold to adults at fl each. The certificates' are signed by Aubrey Lee 'White, president of the association and originator of the cleaning day, and H. J. Gib- ? , bon, secretary. They are endorsed by Mayor Moore, who was presl- , i dent of the city beautiful committee in 1907. ' During the week just closed Spokane has furnished one of the most remarkable and at the same time wholesome spectacles ever -" witnessed in any city of the 100,000 class on the continent. More ' than 40,000 men, women and children devoted a day to cleaning the . yards and vacant place's in the city, besides planting trees and vines

and 500 teams and wagons were required to haul the refuse to the score of dumping grounds provided by the city, while several hundred additional vehicles conveyed the garbage and the debris to the incinerators. The work was done under the immediate direction of Henry L. Lilienthal. marshal of the campaign, and Arthur W. Jones, secretary of the 150,000 club, assisted by Albert "W. Merritt, manager of the city crematory. Many of the older boys in the high grade schools were organized to assist in reporting places that required attention. Captains and lieutenants having charge of companies of boys made tours of every block in the neighborhood, gathering reports of the progress in cleaning. The boys were supplied with blanks to make reports on the number of ash-piles, refuse covered alleys, broken fences and sidewalks an dthey did their work thoroughly and well. The zeal of the school children became infectious, and many who had given civic beauty only a passing thought were reminded of carelessness and began immediately ,to make up for their neglect, i This Is a splendid Idea and if encouraged and fostered In the Hammond schools, would soon result in making this city one of the most desirable otwns in which to live Instead of one of the least attractive from a physical standpoint.

THE

Daily Round That sonnd like Richard III asleep in his tent having bad dreams Is this fellow Shannon declaring that there are hundreds of men in Hammond who are not fit to kins their wives. Poor doddering windjammer! They are greasing: the elephants In the zoos' now, about July they will begin to 'grease the G. O. P. elephant.' Illinois Is ad mitting that there is a rift In the Can non lute. Riftf Great cobblestones the whole derned late is busted. See that a man has been sentenced to six months in jail for stealing an umbrella, um brella stealing is a habit not a crime. "What's the matter judge? "Seems as if somebody out at the Standard is al ways In trouble," said a local clt, when he heard of the Doc Reiss episode. Think of It 1,000 pups In Hammond and only 112 ot them wearing the neces' sary. East Chicago baring swallowed and digested Grassell says she feels a very acid taste In ber gulet speakof April showers. their hands. It isn't possible that the St. Louey girl does object, is it? "When a man asks you to do a favor look out that he Isn't doing you at the same and you can make as much as you want out of this. Bears in some of the Japanese vil lages are taxed. Missus says it is a shame that anything that hugs should be taxed. One of the worst mistakes that a woman can make is to take the assessor for a newspaper reporter and tell how much the family la worth. Mr. Seeley s bushel or socks may make a noise like a hundred dollars until the Missus takes a shout at them with a darning egg in one hand and a needle full of cotton in the other. Why not bnild a doughnut without a' hole and fool some of these pessimists? Mr. Taft is beginning to garner them in long before the cherries are ripe and they are as elusive as a Lake Front park flea too. We think that the Chicago Judge who said that It Is the duty of a man to walk the floor all night with, a crying baby ought to be impeached. So there! At -the latest writing the Gary Red Necktie club has succeeded in offsetting the Merry "Widow hats. IN POLITICS Sam Ableman is pursuing the even tenor of his way, conscious that he is going to be elected and certainly putting in some good licks. Nels J. Boarth of Valparaiso, who realizes the value of newspaper advertising, seems to be making a good start in that line for his race for the attorney-generalship two years hence. The Union, the official organ of the State Federation of Labor, says this about Mr. Watson's nomination: "The fight against Mr. Watson has just begun. Labor endeavored to show that it would be unwise -to nominate this man; it was announced that were he nominated he would be opposed by the organized labor forces of the state. It was further shown that labor's apposition to Mr. Watson was not con fined to organized labor, but that un organized labor was also interested. All this was pointed out. "And now that the republicans have seen fit to disregard this, have announced by their action that they care nothing for this opposition, labor is in a position to continue the fight against Mr. Watson. No criticism can be made of this plan. From now until election day labor will do its utmost to convince the voters of this state that Mr. Watson should not be elected. And we believe that labor will laugh last." Somehow it takes a politician a longer time to learn to steer an auto than It does anyone else. Vide the Crown Point Star: "The boys all have trouble In learning to guide their devil wagons, but one thing is certain, luck is with Clerk Shortrldge. He run slap into his barn door with his machine, last Sunday, and didn't Injure the barn scarcely any. Just the machine had to be taken to Fred Metzler's hospital." Wm.

Washington, April 22.--According to a remarkable nonpartisan poll of 10,000 live subsubscribers to Snecess Magazine, scattered all over the country and embracing nearly BOO occupations, including bankers, lawyers, physicians, students, manufacturers, farmers, clerks and others in less exalted stations, Roosevelt is the overwhelming first choice for the next presidential term. He received 5,4410 "first choice" votes; Bryan, l,17Sj Taft, 1,100 Hughes, 075j Johnson, 102, with others scattering. Gray received the lowest number of votes, 12. It Is noted, however, that the letters inviting the votes were sent out some three months ago. The recipients were asked to vote on several so-called Roosevelt policies. On each the vote was a sweeping majority in favor of the president.

The Indiana delegation will have sumptuous headquarters at the Auditorium hotel and will do everything in its power to whoop things up for the vice-president. It is very likely that Senator Beverl'dge will be elected chairman of the delegation and that he will deliver the principal speech placing the vice president in nomination. Arrangements are now being made for several special trains for the benefit of the Hooslers who want to attend the convention. It is an open secret In political circles that endless friction and dissension has been aroused in democratic ranks over the arrangements for the county convention and barbecue at Gary next month. Prominent old-time members of the party are being wholly Ignored by the arrangement committee, and others with political axes to grind are being pushed to tne rront in a way that causes no end of bitter feeling.

AGED RAILROAD MAN DIES IN DIRE POVERTY. Once Wealthy, John Cochrane, Former Conductor on Michigan Central, Is Burled By Charity. Railroad men who live in Hammond and Lake County will be pained to learn of the death of John Cochrane, for years a conductor on the Michigan Central railroad. Death occurred at Honon, Mich., where the aged railroad man, who was 83 years old, had made his home for many years. The 'circumstances is doubly sad owing to the poverty in which Cochrane died.

I0QSIER CLUB BILL ARRANGE LOVE FEASI So Decides at Meeting That Was Held Last Wednesday Night. LOCfi BUSINESS MEN ASKED Other Urgent Matters Attendeu to M. C. To Be Interviewed Regarding Change of Schedule. The Boosters' Commercial club of Indiana Harbor is planning for a big love feast which will be held in the near future. At a meeting which was characterized by more life and ginger than has marked a session of this enthusiastlo aggregation in many a day, the love feast matter was decided upon Wednesday night. Other Important matters touched upon were the Automatic Telephone franchise which Is before the city council at this time "and the matter of the discontinuance of Indiana Harbor as a regular stop station for the Lako Shore 6:20 a. m. train. This train made its last stop at the Harbor last Sunday and the Boosters see. in the discontinuance the fine Italian hand of the Gary realty dealers, who they de clare by these means seek to force the 100 or more Indiana Harborites who have been in the habit of taking the train dally, to make their homes in the steel city. A ommittee consisting of W. B. Van Home, Charles E. Fowler and W. W. Moberly was appointed to visit the rail road officials in an effort to make Indiana Harbor a regular stopping place for that train in the future as in the past. The committee appointed to take charge of the arrangements for the love feast consists of the following: Mayor De Briae, Charles E. Fowler, D. M. Foland, W. W. Moberly, C. D. Burdick. The love feast is to be nonpolitical absolutely, In its intent, and is merely for the advancement of social intercourse among the members and the prominent business men of surrounding cities. Quite a large number of business men from Gary, Whiting and Hammond will be invited to attend! and there will be some good speakers, prominent for their ability to make a good after dinner speech, in attendance. The committee will meet in the near future to consider the details of the entertainment and decide upon a date and a place o" meeting. There will be an elaborate banquet which will be a feature of the occasion. The two-phone system was made the subject of a warm discussion in which the members announced themselves practically without exception, as opposed to It. They feel that this is a poor time to burden merchants and office holders with any additional and unnecessary expense and besides they consider the double system a nuisance. At the next meeting a committee will be appointed to visit the city council when the phone franchise will come up for final reading, and to present the views of the organization on this subject. Jacob Cline, Frank Schock and Walter A. Riley were voted into membership In the organization. It was announced at the meeting that on next Wednesday night the club will be addressed by Field Secretary S. A. Thompson of the National Deep Waterways association, on the subject of "Deep Waterways." The subject will be treated, it is expected, from a local standpoint.
