Former Hammond Girl Wedded After Kiss in Street

TRACTION FRANCHISE QUESTION A MOMENTOUS ONE. It is if course, entirely unnecessary to call the attention of the city administration of Hammond to the fact that never in the history of the city,

have there been so many important traction grants before the Board of Public Works, for the consideration of that body. The problems involved in these franchises are fraught with peculiar interest to the people of Hammond and the TAX PAYERS ARE UNANIMOUS IN HOPING THAT NO

MISTAKES WILL BE MADE BY THE CITY OFFICIALS IN DEALING

WITH THESE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. They do not .want to see the

mistakes made by former administrations in granting franchises duplicated

There are politicians in Hammond, to their discredit it must be said, who are hoping that the present civic administration WILL GET TANGLED UP IN THIS FRANCHISE MAZE so that their predicament can be used as a campaign slogan in the next city election. This is reprehensible and betrays a distorted sense of civic loyalty and patriotism. THIS PAPER BELIEVES THAT THE CITY ADMINISTRATION SO FAR, IS HONESTLY TRYING TO SOLVE A VERY KNOTTY PROBLEM, that of giving the city the best possible street railway and interurban service. Any other attitude taken by the civic authorities will mean political suicide for them. The people are not inclined to forget Hammond's past experience, so that a satisfactory solution of the traction franchise questions, is as VITAL TO THE ADMINISTRATION AS IT IS TO THE CITY ITSELF. The decision of the Board of Public Works to defer action on the Gary and Interurban franchise until the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend franchise conies before it, is a wise one. There is no need of haste to railroad the Gary and Interurban franchise, through the council. Unfortunately the Darrow interests behind the Gary and Interurban ARE NOT LIKE CAESAR'S WIFE. The people of Hammond are not, to put it mildly, reposing the utmost confidence in the Darrow interests. THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE MEN BEHIND THE GARY AND INTERURBAN. Promoters of that line say that Shont3 and Oliver are behind it. Promoters of other traction companies seeking entrance to the city, deny this, Mr. Darrow and his associate Mr. Raff in the TIMES office over a week ago, promised to give this paper within a few days written EVIDENCE FROM MR. OLIVER, stating that he was behind the Gary and Interurban. THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO. A telegram was sent last week to Mr. Oliver, asking him to verify Mr. Darrow's statements. HE HAS PAID NO ATTENTION TO IT. Now the people of Hammond have a perfect right to insist on knowing this before they give away their streets. They have not forgotten the clamor there was in Gary over the still unfulfilled conditions in the Gary and Interurban franchise as granted in Gary. The company has not yet done its share toward the paving of Broadway. The Hammond city authorities should by the way, if they have not done so, get a copy of the Gary franchise and COMPARE IT WITH THE ONE THE COMPANY WANTS IN HAMMOND. They will see some differences. There

is one thing in the Gary and Interurban franchise which we are frank to confess, the people of Hammond do not like and that is the matter of the ten thousand dollar bond for damages. It is not enough. The same clause is by the way in the Indiana and Chicago traction franchise before the Board

of Public Works. THE INDEMNIFICATION STIPULATION IN THE DOCUMENTS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. It does not show the proper faith. There is no adequacy of compensation. IT IS NOT SATISFACTORY. It leaves nice little loop-holes which tax payers of Hammond do not fancy at all. What right, we would like to know, has the Gary and Interurban to ask for protection against competition? THE STREETS OF HAMMOND BELONG TO THE PEOPLE OF HAMMOND, THEY DO NOT BELONG TO A RAIL

ROAD COMPANY. The latter has no right to stifle competition. Why would it not. be the proper thing to require these traction companies to build their lines in Hammond, as Hammond people want them? The Gary and Interurban or any other company should not be allowed to TAKE ALL THE CREAM AND LEAVE THE OTHER COMPANIES THE SKIMMED MILK the leavings. The Board of Public Works should also find out why the Gary and Interurban franchise DOESN'T HAVE A FORFEITURE PROVISION. Hasn't Hammond as good a right to a forfeiture provision as has Gary? There, are too many uncertain propositions about this franchise, which we do not like, as we have pointed out before. The provision for an appeal to the circuit court, is something that the statute does not give. The city ought to require the Gary and Interurban to give permission to ?.ny other company

to use its line at one half the actual cost. There is no reason why a parent company should play the highwayman to other companies, seeking passage over its line and feature itself in a hold-up game to these companies. THESE ARE MATTERS WHICH SHOULD BE SPECIFICALLY COVERED IN THE FRANCHISE. Hammond welcomes all inteiurban companies to its city limits, but its policy should be TO BUILD UP A LOCAL SYSTEM. There should be a basic principle in the giving up of streets to traction companies. They should not be split up and a little piece handed around to everybody. -The more interurbans the better, but the one local system is sufficient. The , TIMES has no bone to pick with the Gary and Intenirban, even if one of its stock holders is a member of Mayor Becker's official family, but we believe the people of Hammond have to be shown. It looks too much as if the Gary and Interurban was trying to choke off other companies also knocking at our doors. We believe that the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend, which is about to double track from Gary to South Bend and which seeks to give Hammond a north and a south line through the city from east to west is entitled to consideration and the Indiana & Chicago company, has certainly shown that it has the backing deserving of the attention of the civic author

ities. And by the way what is the transportation committee of the Hammond Business Men's Association doing in these traction matters. SURELY THEY ARE MATTERS OF ITS GRAVEST CONSIDERATION AND IMME- ! DIATE ATTENTION. Perhaps one of these days it may be too late. Would ; it not be a wise plan for the committee to have AN UNBIASSED ATTORNEY i PARALLEL THE FRANCHISES? It would be manifestly unfair to the city , administration to say that it was not amply able to handle the question satisfactorily, but we do believe that the officials are not above the accept- ; ance of helpful suggestions and competent advice given them by the transportation committee.

LIVING AS JESUS WOULD. It is easy to ridicule the movement of those young people of Cleveland, O., who undertook to live for two weeks as Jesus -would if he were face to face with modern problems. Of the 1,800 who pledged themselves none fully succeeded. But the fortnight of zealous striving toward an ideal was an experiment in concrete righteousness that was well worth while. To err is human. None of these young people attained perfection. Some, starting out with honest hearts, early fell by the wayside. Others persevered, stumbled on and did the best they could.

It Is easy to say, ;The Ideal was too high." All ideals are too high for human realization. When an ideal is realized it is no longer an ideal. When one ideal Is reached another and higher ideal takes its place. And thus does each new vision lure to brighter worlds and point the way. The movement was holpfu.1. Hundreds have lived nobler and purer lives because of it. Every striving toward an ideal, every effort for self betterment, richly pays the individual and the community. Cleveland ia a better city today because the moral standard has been raieed. Even individual disappointment in well doing has its important lessons.

Disappointment reveals the weak spots ia character. The vital thing in this Cleveland experiment i3 this In trying to live as Jesus would under like surroundings a call was made upon the finest and best that was in these young people. They were crying to respond to the loftiest demand that can be made upon human:beings. And whatever happens under that high call men and women are made better and happier by earnest response to such a call. We all have our dreams. But there are few of us who deliberately go out to make our dreams come true. That was the very thing the Cleveland young people tried to do. They tried to do great things, not dream them all day long. Let us who are content to dream and

hope and who are too cowardly to pat our dreams to the test be slow to criticise
