A CALL TO ARMS.

SOME DAY THE PEOPLE OF Hammond. Whiting and East Chicago will ; awake to the realization of the fact that In Wolf lake, now a grassy, shallow 'expanse of water, they have one of the greatest opportunities for harbor development' that Is afforded on the south shore of Lake Michigan. " Woir lake will be connected with Lake Michigan by a broad and roomy 5 harbor. It will, In fact, be the broadest harbor on the south, shore of the i lake for the reason that there is only a short distance from Lake Michigan to that portion of Wolf lake", which widens out from the -neck of the bottle- to ' the bowl. .--, v - At . present the land along the shores of this neck, of this natural channel, connecting the land locked harbor with Lake Michigan, Is not being held '. at a very high figure and it is easier to project a harbor along liberal and ; broad Ilnes-than when the dockage is worth $8,000 or $10,000 an acre, as at Chicago. But the people of Hammond seem to be unable to use their imagination. They scoffed at the Gary project until after outsiders had purchased all of the desirable property and had made from their investments. They stood around after the announcement of the locating of the Standard Steel Car company until a Chicago real estate man came to Hammond, picked out the most available property for sub-dividing purposes and then sold It to the outsiders at a profit of $60,000. So it is with the Wolf lake harbor project.. The people , of Hammond sit idly by, involved with their own affairs, with never" a thought of conserving the Interests of the city. They have forgotten the crusade of Harbor Knotts in which they took but a passive interest. They are content that Hammond should be an inland railroad center, when it is possible for It to be the greatest connecting point between water and rail communication in the Calumet region. Over on the lake front the Baltimore & Ohio and the Lake Shore & Eastern railroads are stealthily filling up the only outlet Wolf lake has to Lake Michigan. Car-load after car-load of sand is being dumped Into the channel which once enabled the Indian and afterwards the fisherman to take his boat from the Inland waters to those of the inland sea. , If. would mean a great deal of expense to the railroads if they were compelled to put in bridges to, span a 500 foot channel. It would mean more than the duplication of the work they have been compelled to do at Indiana Harbor. - The railroads are convinced that one harbor is enough for this neck of the woods. They have decreed In fact that there shall be no others. The Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern, especially, the United States Steel company's private belt line, desires that no other competitor of the Gary harbor be built. Consequently they are filling in Hammond's and Whiting's harbor. Soon, the government will be asked to accept the 500 foot strip which has been dedicated to it for harbor purposes. The officials representing these railroads will then truthfully say, "There Is no harbor at the Wolf river mouth." ., The matter will .have to be taken into the courts and fought out. The rights' of the region will have to be' protected and the cost will be as great as these railroads can make it, ,. In the meantime the northern part of Hammond will be swampier than ever. The basements of homes on the north side of the city will contain two feet Instead of two inches of water In the spring time, and Hammond will be a stilted city like South Chicago. ; It it a matter of concern to every property owner in Hammond north of the river. It is a matter of deep concern to the property owners In East Chicago and Whiting. The call to arms should be sounded at once, and if the Commercial andBusiness Men's clubs in the various cities never do another thing during the period of their existence, they should appoint a joint committee to Investigate this matter and report to he people just what is being done. . In fact the entire matter of harbor development In Hammond and Whiting Is a matter of such pressing importance that it should be taken up at once. , . "

IN POLITICS

There were a large number of Hammondltes who visited Chicago yesterday for the purpose of getting their tickets to the national republican convention from Harry New, the chairman. Hammond people were to be seen quite frequently in the lobbies of the Auditorium Annex and enjoyed immensely watching the great throngs of politicians from all parts of the United States as they mingled together and talked over the situation. Hundreds of people stood at the entrances of the hotel and watched for the appearance of the notables whose faces are familiar to all. There was a short, fat woman who stood at the entrance for hours at a time with a Graflex camera in her hands waiting for some of the notables to appear. She is said to be one of the photographers for Frank Leslie's magazines and was about as interesting as any of the big bugs of the convention. A few of the Hammondltes who went to Chicago to secure the much-coveted tickets were Judge Virgil S. Reiter, Dr. T. E. Bell, H. F. Melkle and daughter, W. H. Gostlin and Richard McHle. The convention tickets are enclosed In a long white envelope. There are four of them, one for e'ach day of the convention. Each ticket is engraved with the picture of Abraham Lincoln and they are all . beautifully lithographed. There are but few Hammond people who are carrying the prizes around In their pockets, but those who have them are proud to possess them, and it is safe to Bay that there will be a goodly number of the local politicians who will see the deliberations of this history-making convention.

Harry S. New says he is the main

slave at the convention; being chairman

of the convention, one of his friends told him he looked like the "main squeete." "The main slave," responded Colonel New. "My wife can hear my chains clank a mile. It's the newspaper men that do it. Here Is the problem: "If one chair takes up fifteen lnches: how many newspaper, men can I seat at a , fifty foot table without being black-listed by half the papers in the country? -And how wide must the

aisles be to admit a whole stable of 'dark horses'? And if the Coliseum holds 12,000 people and half a million old time republicans want to get in where do I get oft? 'Tm not the main squeeze; but I am mainly squeezed."

Salt Lake City, June 15. The democrats of Utah instructed their six delegates for Bryan, and sent the following to Grover Cleveland: "The democrats of Utah, in convention assembled, remember gratefully your friendship for Utah while president. With just party pride we point to your services for the party and for the country. With apprehension we have learned of your recent illness, and with one accord we pray that your life, may be prolonged for many years, that the country may be blessed with the wisdom of your counsel.

Eric Lund, the contractor, is for Taft and proud of It. He wants people to know it so badly that he is wearing a notice In his hat band which reads in glaring black-face, "I am for Taft." Eric Is going to try to work his way Into the convention hall with it.
