WHERE DOES BRETSCH GET HIS? Representatives of the legal profession are generally credited with a good deal of knowledge and acumen. Some of them are honestly so credit-

Others travel largely on their reputations. , 10 wmcn vi Bretsch of Gary belongs, we hesitate to say- However, we have our

opinion. During the cross-examination of TIMES reporters while the Jackson raid case was being tried. Mr. Bretsch entered upon a strange line of quizzing. In stentorian notes he demanded the source of the instructions received by the reporters before they revealed the vice conditions in the "Patch." He could not bring his doubting mind to believe that the reporters acted on their own voilition or covered the assignment on instructions from their editor, but tried to get the newspaper men to say that they covered the story at the request of two prominent men of Gary. In order to refresh

the lawyers mind, we might add that TIMES reporters do not take orders from anyone except their employers, not even Mr. Bretsch himself. The people of Gary are satisfied where TIMES reporters get orders. We would like to ask Mr. Bretsch WHERE HE GETS HIS?

KNOTTS HAS LOST HIS OPPORTUNITY. Gary's plight in being vice-ridden and without the help of the civic authorities to quell immorality, is attracting the attention of the outside world. The various newspaper and editorial comments on the distressing situation are anything but creditable to the Knotts administration. Knotts has found one defender in a Hammond paper, but everybody knows why. In the meantime the city's chief executive and his police department take absolutely no notice of the trend of events, whose chronology proves that w0 nre those in the city who are determined that vice must go. It will

h n tPnnrize with an awakened people too long. Mayor Knotts has

Marker, the absconding assistant cashier of the First National bank of Tipton, was transferred yesterday on the books of the county recorder to Edward T. Teter, an attorney of Tipton.

THE EDITOR'S SOFT SNAP

The editor is a man with a soft snap. He reads the papers and maga- ,.. , . i r,,Aot thlrfa hp knows least about.

zine says the tiirara aucuui, m and meets the people who desire to know him. He loves them because they are so forgetful of self and so solicitous of his well being. They all want to help him. One-half of them want him to print news which does not recognize as news, and the other half want him to suppress what he recognizes as good news, because the ydo not regard it of any value or importance. The editor has more people trying to help him do what he doesn't care to do and induce him to do what they want him to do than any other individual on earth. In the midst of it all he keeps his poise, seldom reveals the fact that he has any mind to speak of and lets his visitors leave him with a feeling of having achieved something which they haven't. That is why thev sav he doesn't do as he agreed when he agred to do nothing They do not realize how independent he can keep by being agreeable thev still have to learn that being agreeable is not akin to being a fool.

for the Lion store, and Kaufmann & Lamb Stew,

Wolf say that they intend to make It

an event long to be remembered.

The growth of the Lion store ha3

been nothing short of marvelous. Eleven years ago Kaufmann & Wolf came

to Hammond, and with small resources

opened a store with a floor space 73x100

In the Rimbach block at the corner of

Hohman and Sibley streets.

Six years later the store was enlarged until it occupied a space 200x100.

Just about this time Kaufmann & Wolf bought out J. M. Lautman, who con

ducted a general store at the north

west corner of Hohman and Sibley sts., and added seventy-five feet of frontage

to their store

Now they have added 100 feet more of frontage at the corner of Rimbach

avenue and Hohman street, and the new

addition will have a depth of 125 feet

This gives the Lion store a total Hoh

man street frontage of 375 feet. Store Still Growing:.

But this is not the extent of the pro

posed expansion of this great mercantile establishment. Arrangements are now being made for the erection of an

addition to the furniture department

by the construction of a building 50x100

on blbley street. when this Is completed the store will have a complete

frontage of 425 feet, and in this respect

will be the largest store In the state of

Indiana.

In spite of their remarkable suc

cess Kaufmann & Wolf have gone ahead without ostentation, and the use of

pyrotechnics. It has been their desire

to build up an Institution that will be a credit to the city and will help to

make it the mercantile center of the entire region. The bus service of this store, In itself, is a great thing for the city in that it brings hundreds of people people into the city every week, who might not trade here if they were not afforded the excellent transportation that is provided by the Lion store automobile buses. Perhaps an appreciation of the importance to the city of this store may be had from the fact that it will employ 1500 well-paid clerks and department managers when the new addition is completed.
