The avaracious, greedy, nay hoggish Lake Shore railroad company runs

through Gary and, as Is customary 'with a lot of railroad corporations, gives

as little and gets as uch as it possible can. A great deal of indignation has arisen over the fact and it is loudly voiced by the good people of Gary.

So impoverished has the railroad company become and so depleted Its treashas been compelled to station officers at the depot at night to rescue patrons ury that it must W every penny possible. On thi3 account, as soon after darkness sets in, the station agent renders the exterior of the structure completely dark by turning off the electric lights leading to the platform and passengers arriving m the city are compelled to grope around-in the dark, at the mercy of thugs and hold up men to say nothing of the many narrow escapes from personal injury that they suffer to their bodies. The town authorities, up to the present time, are powerless. Chief Martin of the road from yeggemen and blackguards. Complaints continue to pour in at the police station and with sweet placidity the Lake Shore officials proceed to laugh in their sleeves and Ignore the requests that they light up their station. There is only one way for the Gary officials to do with the parsimonious Lake Shore railroad and that is to pass an ordinance that will bring it to time so quickly that it will make its collective head swim. There is one other way of course and that is to take up a collection for the poverty stricken corporation. HARD UP FOR PATRONAGE.

The Imperial Stock company, which has been playing at a Hammond playhouse for a week has reached the limit as far as sensationalism, and nasty sensationalism at that, is concerned. Business must be mighty poor when a stock company will advertise such a play as "Dealers in White Women." No doubt the company is in need of the patronage of theater goers and needs its money mighty badly when it will seek to draw crowds

by such means. By and by the Imperial Stock company may be expected to advertise Black Women and Red Women, as well as other colors. We are

not apprised as to the nature of the entertainment which the repertoire company provided for its audience last Saturday night, but it must have

been very enobllng and elevating and all of that. THE WORLD'S EYE ON THE UNITED STATES.

SALUTING A STATUE. The character of Peter in F. Hopklnson Smith's latest book of that name is a fine old gentleman who lifts his hat to the statue of George Washington. This Is the way the author tells It: "Peter wheeled and lifted his hat to the statue. 'Good morning, your excellency, he said In a voice mellowed by the same respectful tone with which he would have addressed the original in the flesh. His companion laughs at the strange conceit, whereat Peter says: "He wasn't put there for ornament, my boy, but to be kept in mind, and there Is no place in the world where bis example is so much needed as In Wall street. Nobody reverences anything nowadays. Even our presidents have to be murdered before we stop abusing them." Afterward, moralizing, Peter says: "Into our maw go respect for tradition, reverence for the dead, decency, love of religion, sentiment, beauty. They are back numbers. "Do you wonder, my boy, why I touch my hat to his excellency?" Nor was Peter a crank.

He was the hard headed paying

teller of a Wall street bank.

BUT he had old fashioned ideals.

Indeed, this novel itself Is a story of

the clash between modern business and

Idealism. .

Perhaps Peter waa too sweeping in

his indictment, but It is true that lack

of reverence is the crying sin of our

day.

Fancy one of the money mad brokers

lifting his hat to that statue of Washington across from the sub treasury!

Impossible!

To such a man, absorbed in money,

tradition has no glamour, greatness

has no precedence, goodness has no

prestige, heroism makes no appeal, and

the 'tender grace of a day that is

dead" is nothing to him.-

And what of the boy, who calls bis

parents "the old man" and "the old lady," to whom father's advice Is only

dope?' And the girl distressed at

mother's accent and ashamed of her

table manners? What of these young

sters who deprecate' the experience of

the old folks?

Imagine such youngsters saluting the

statue of "that old party, George

Washington!

Peter Grayson waa right Lack of

reverence for parents, teachers, the aged; lack of reverence for tradition

and for righteousness for these the statue of George Washington la a perpetual rebuke.

The world is giving a great deal of attention these days to American diplomacy. Whether or not there is a dreibund with America, England and Japan, there is an increased respect for the United States in all the governments of the world and a recognition that our country is a world power if not the world power. Our foreign policy and the great voyage of the battle fleet, have given the nations of the earth something to scratch their heads about if they have done nothing else. Wonderful progress has

been made during the Roosevelt administration for which the president himself and the secretary of state must be given their need of praise and credit. They have seen that this nation has neither gone back nor stood still in its part of the modern history of nations. . The strides it has made have been wonderful and critics of the administration have at least been

compelled to concede this the all important point.

PARENTS OF THE young football players on the various high schools of Lake county are breathing easier again, for the football season is over and most of the youths have come through the season unscathed. There are plenty of the young athletes, however, who are still nursing sore spots and

bruises that cause them to shrink now and then, but the parents aforesaid

never knew it. If football does anything good it learns some to be game

and suffer in secret.

THIS IS MY 49TH BIRTHDAY. Jefferson He Angelis. Jefferson De Angelis, the well-known comedian, was born in San Francisco, Nbv. 80, 1859, of Jewish parentage. Both his father and mother were play

ers. He received a common school edu

cation and made his flrsth stage appear

ance when but a child. In 1871 he and

his sister, Sarah, began a tour on their own account in two or three little sketches, working their way eastward

from ESan Franclsc. Next they went

to Australia, where they failed to reap

the harvest of dollars they had expect

ed. More successful financially was their tour that followed in India and

South Africa. The comedian finally re

turned to San Francisco, but it was a

long time before he won his way to fame. With the McGaull Opera company

he played for three years, principally

in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, then at the height of their popularity.

In 1890 he became principal comedian

at the New York Casino, where he re

mained three years, participating in all

the successes of that playhouse. In

more recent years he has headed hi

own company and has appeared sue

cessfully in numerous comic operas.
