RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS
THAT H OHM AN STREET BRIDGE. The county commissioners have proved their business ability, foresightedfcess and good sense by deciding that no half-way measures should be taken in the construction of the Hohman street bridge. The county commissioners will recommend to the county council that the proposed ! new Hohman street bridge be built to the full width of Hohman street. This will permit the building of a roadway wide enough for a double street car track and a wagon roadway on either side. It will also be wide enough to permit of the building of two ten-foot walks on either side of the roadway. The county commissioners intimated to the Hammond citizens, who went to Crown Point in the interests of the bridge, -that they have realized all along that a bridge would have to be built' over the river at Hohman street in the near future. They also indicated that they appreciated the fact that the new bridge, which is to span the river on Hammond's most important north and south highway, should not be a makeshift, but should be of sufficient size and capacity that it will provide for the needs of the city for years to come. It has been discovered that the new bridge will cost considerable more than the narrower bridge, which it first proposed to build, but the county commissioners have seen too much engineering extravagance in the growling cities of North township. " There public works have been authorized and then torn up before they were paid for because some bungling engineer did not have the foresight to insist on the things being done right in the first place. .... . So far as the county commissioners are concerned Hammond will be given the wide bridge. The commissioners have ordered that new plans be drawn and that estimates be submitted showing the cost of the proposed improvement. It will then be up to the county council to make the appropriation. If the members of the county council look upon the matter the same as the county -commissioners do, Hammond will set its bridge.

According to stories that have their origin "in. Washington, President
Taft is getting tired of his job. , ' t
He is weary of the incessant and uninterrupted demands and importuni
ties of the professional politician and the ubiquitous office-seeker. Can you blame him?
To a man of judicial temperament, as Is Mr. Taft, it is not hard to see how the foxy wiles and the cool and clammy persistence of the politician In
whom these qualities are a matter of innateness as well as a life-long edu
cation bore him beyond expression.
Were Mr. Taft a younger man, and a man who had received his political
education in the ward caucus and primary; had he been forced to fight for political recognition in his earlier experiences in politics, he would not be
so annoyed in the executive mansion by the political pot-hunters.
As it is, however, he is compelled to give recognition to the professional
politician and he is free to admit that it all makes him very tired.
And there is no remedy for it either, for Mr. Carpenter cannot satisfy
the professional politician who must be ushered Into the "Presence" before
he will leave Washington. , , 4 : WHAT NEWSPAPERS GET HANDED TO THEM.
There is nothing more annoying to a progressive newspaper than to get hold of a goo'd piece of news in all its details, and when about to publish it being sought by one of the principals and asked to keep it quiet for a
few days with a promise of having the story exclusive. The newspaper does this only to find to its great chagrin and disgust that sdme other paper has been given the story and instead of being able to give its patrons a story to
which they are entitled, it suffers the ignominy of being what is known
technically as "scooped" J
In three different instances in one day was this paper thus victimized . Here are Instances where a newspaper honors a request and lives , up to its word. Here are instances where it suffered because it did so. And yet
newspapers get no credit at all for jiving up to their promises for being
honorable- If it only occurred once in a great while, it would be different.
but every live newspaper editor' knows that this kind of treatment is con
tinually handed out to a newspaper. People wonder why editors become cynical and lose faith in humanity. They would easily understand it had they to trot around in an editor's brogans for just one short, sweet month.

her success in "The Second Mrs. Tanquery placed her in the front rank of modern English actresses. In recent years she has made several successful tours of America, appearing in Tess of the d'Urbervilles," "The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith" and other wellknown plays. In 1884, several years
before she became an actress, she was married to Patrick Campbell, a British
army officer. He was killed In the war In South Africa in 1900.
LABOR HEWS
The wages in the mines of Germany have shown a downward tendency in recent years. There have been further decreases In 1909, ranging from 2 per
cent to 8 per cent in the various districts. These figures do not relate to
rates, but to actual takings figured from the pay sheets. . Steps are being taken to form a7"ptpe t'&des council is Philadelphia. Carthage, Mo., unions have under consideration tb formation of a central organization." - The Journal Publishing company in Watertown. New York, is now unionized from cellar to garret. The Sheet Metal Workers union in ' Cleveland. Ohio, reports that all the large jobs are going to union shops. At the first annual dinner of the businesses organization at Danville, 111., only union made cigars were served. More than 1,200 quarrymen are on strike in Amherst, Ohio, because their wages had been cut from 10 to 60 cents a day. Twenty thousand British miners are Idle In the Northumberland coal mining district because of an eight-hour day dispute pending. At the last city election at Macon, Ga., two union men were elected to the

HARD LUCK.
Things never seem to come my way, and so I'm sick and sorry. I asked a friend of mine today to sing me "Annie Laurie;" for I was tired and sick at heart, and feeling lorn and looney, and so he pried his face apart and
sang me "Annie Rooney." 'Twas always thus since childhood's hour, I
always miss connections; for me the cream is always sour; and mouldy the .
confections; when I would gayly guy my frau, her temper has a cross edge;
the butter never knew a cow there's whiskers on the sausage. Last night I
I couldn't slesp a wink, for thoughts of ghost and bogey; I said: "I'll rise
and get a drink, and smoke a cabbage stogie." I tramped across the silent shack to find the measely dipper, and stepped upon a carpet tack I wore no shoe or slipper; and then I fell o'er seven chairs, and nearly spoiled my
smeller, and thundered down a flight of stairs, and landed In the celler. The
neighbors heard the frightful noise, and came cavorting over, a hundred
idiots and boys, Including Old Dog Rover. "Well, are you hurt?" the sillies cried: it made my anger smoulder; "I die too slowly," I replied, "please hit
me with a boulder." WALT MASON. Coypright, 1909, by George Matthew Adams.
WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH HAMMOND? The Anti-Saloon League of Indiana has given out some rather mysterious news within the past few days which has caused some anxiety in Hammond's saloon circles- The news is that no attempt will be made by the Anti-Saloon league to drive saloons from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, Evansville and South Bend, but not a word is said about Hammond. As it is one of the largest cities in the state let severely alone' so far by the league, it becomes a question in view of the above announcement whether the league will attempt to have an election here or not or use any other efforts to put the question before the people. As the league "moves in mysterious ways, it may be possible that it has ulterior designs on Hammond. At any rate the curiosity of the people -in the city has been considerably aroused by the latest move in league circles. s '
WHERE DOES THE VALUE COME IN? Once in awhile some fellows comes along with an advertising scheme put up In a two by four form, and very often he finds plenty ot takers for his space. If any long headed advertiser would stop to think how inconsistent such a proposition is, such a salesman would soon go out of business. In the first place, the cost of printing eats up a goodly hare of it, and what there is left it can be plainly seen will not pay for proper distribution and leave a profit for the solicitor. So where does the advertising value come in? The solicitor could not afford to send circulars through the malls at a cent a piece if he gets out the number he agrees to. Remember this newspaper advertising is the cheapest advertising on earth. It costs only a fraction of a cent to place your announcment before the reader, and as the reader pays for the aper he will surely receive it' Sylvania (O.) Sentinel.
