A piSCIPLE OF ICONOCLASM. Mayor Becker of Hammond in his talk before the law students of the Lincoln-Jefferson Law school was undoubtedly right when he declared that legal professional ethics should be rigidly adhered to or abolished altogether. The same is true, of any of the four estates.
He presented a gloomy picture of conditions in the profession, however, for,
a young and hopeful student of law to go up against. Inconoclasm is a bad thing to preach to the world-experienced, and It is a subversive doctrine to inculcate in the minds of the students which are clean slates and on which impressions are only too readily written by a man of Mr. Becker's varied experience. We do not believe the law students will find that the Judiciary and the legal profession are so tainted as perhaps Mayor Becker would have them think. If he has been unable to take his politics and his law straight, and had to mix them until he made a wry face at the concoction, it does not necessarily follow that the rising generation will have to go and do likewise. Of course, the judiciary is, perhaps in some places, not what it ought to be. We would not like to draw the Inferences about it that Mayor Becker has done. He is perhaps more able to fathom the Judiciary, having had more experience with it. It has been said that "men are put on the bench because they agree specifically or tacitly, that their decisions will be along the interests of the corporations that control the political boss or of a political bosse's friends, Is not apt to be the best kind of a judge." Some of lis. have tjut a halo about the judiciary. Perhaps we have been

DR. W. D. WE IS SPLENDID ADDRESS.
It ls a duty of pleasure to call attention to the good work of a public
official, one either appointed or elected to serve the people.
Dr. W. D. Weis, secretary of the board of health of Hammond, in a recent address before the Lake Michigan Sanitary association, composed
of representatives of five different states, represented this city and this dis trlct with great credit to himself and the administration.
His subject was "Water Purification" and he handled It splendidly, showing an acquaintance with the facts that only could have been brought
About by serious study and much research.
There was not an illogical remedy in his paper, and there Is no doubt that if power could be delegated to the Hammond health officer, the question of pure water for this district would be settled to its every advantage in
the shortest possible flight of time. Dr. Wels views on this most important topic are eminently practical
The need of purer water supply in Hammond is only distressingly patent
to those of us who use it. no matter how few times that may be.
If the city of Hammond can only see its way to carry out the advice of
Dr. Weis, It will most certainly be doing the most good for the most people. There ls a crying and an urgent need in this city for pure water. It is at our very door, and yet comes to us shockingly polluted.
ABANDONED TO THEIR FATE.
The grim hand of the law that terrorizing deterrent force which holds
vil doers in check, has the Gary "blind pig" keepers in its relentless fingers at Crown Point, these days. Three men have been found guilty and sentenced to jail for various timed sentences. A heavy monetary penalty has been put upon them and the forces of law and order have triumphed in a decisive manner. There are some thirty-eight cases still to be tried. The legal battle that Is being waged by the defendants is one that has never before been paralleled in Lake county. Every possible chance that "might free these operators for the charges that confront them is being taken and some admiration must be felt for the adroit scheming of their counsel to save these , clients. One cannot help but feel some measure of sympathy for these "blind pig" operators. There is, no doubt, but what they have been ill-advised. Men in their" business are, as a rule, very cautious about slipping their heads into a noosed knot and that they have been deluded miserably is patent. We all know whom the "blind pig" men have to blame for their predicament, just as we know that two and two are four, but perhaps the day of retributive reckoning will come.
PUT THE SOFT PEDAL ON THE TOM TOM. It has been pointed out by this paper for a long, long time that it is time for the members of the republican party to remember that they are republicans. There is little question but what ..the members of the party, who do not attach much seriousness to the "growing pains" in the party will, ultimately, all be found shoulder to shoulder fighting for the priceless principles of party heritage. nut there are a lot of republicans who have but recently come in to the party and those about to come in, who are giving a great deal more importance to the discord than it merits. It is time for the republicans to quit beating the tom-tom so loudly time to put on the soft pedal, or if it Is worse than that, putty up the rift in the lute. There is little question but what there are a lot of republican papers in the country that are doing the party more harm than the democratic press. There is every proof of this fact. It was funny for a time, but it is time to call a halt. To use the ex pressive words of the street Arab, "Cut it out," Cheese it pal"
IF there is any other city in the district which would like to see the commission form of government adopted, will it kindly rise? WOULD it be contempt of court, or a misdemeanor, to suggest that while there's life there's soap for the Black Hand? Toledo Blade. HAMMOND will not shout "copy cat" at any other Lake county city that follows suit by putting a ban on Fourth of July fatalities. A CONTEMPORARY intimates that the lid is off the "blind pig" proposition at Crown Point. Sounds more like a manhole cover blowing up. ' AS a conspicuous example of an industrous out-spoken hard-working senator, who is reflecting great credit on his state do not commend us to Mr. Shively. .
CROWN POINT has a man who actually lets breakfast egg dry on his whiskers so th.it he can pass himself
off as a man who can afford the high
priced things of life. f - JERSEY legislators want to im
prison people who flirt for six months. Who on earth wants to flirt in Jersey
suggest that the punishment made a
six months' life in New Jersey?
