come by agreement and not forcibly. Returning to the old comparison they say, "If the president of . a concern, whose plant was located adjacent to two other plants which were manufacturing a similar article should go down
to the offloe some morning and find that his competitor was sitting in his chair, and upon calling for an explanation of his conduct, should be informed that a partnership had been formed the evening before which had resulted in the amalgamation of his business and that of his competitors, he might be convinced that the move was a good one, but he would not be especially struck with the method of lts( accom plishment." But other manufacturers who are inclined to favor amalgamation, even under the present circumstances, say that the above illustration is not a fair one. They say that Mayor Becker is not the proprietor of Hammond. He and the rest of the city officials are merely servants of the people of Hammond. They say a more analagous illustration would be that of two concerns which were located adjacent to each other and manufactured the same article. The stockholders of the two
concerns were convinced that they should be amalgamated, but the official head of one of them, anxious to hold his job, was obdurate and threw a monkey wrench into the machinery every time an effort was made to unite the two companies. Finally the stockholders, being more concerned about the matter than the officers of the company, in view of the fact that It is a matter of dividends with them, came to an agreement to amalgamate and one fine morning the obstructionists, who had opposed the progressive policy of concentration, found themselves out of a job and discovered with much concern that the Amalgamated Manufacturing company had been organized leaving them out in the cold. There is a real precedent to support
this illustration: President Cummlngv
of the Hammond, Whiting & East. ni cago Electric railway awoke one morn
ing to find that his concern ahd act

Cobe of the Chicago City Railways Co.

Secretary Thomas said of the meeting: "The matter was approached and considered from the point of view of
one corporation proposing to absorb another corporation and to consider what , assets and liabilities were involved in the transaction, but the arguments and representations elicited the fact that the smaller corporation was desirous of burdening the larger corporation they contemplated absorbing with contracts, franchises and debts not commensurate with their as-
j sets and which the larger corporation
had no desire to assume; that the proposed arrangement was unfair and inequitable, inasmuch as it contemplated the management of the assets and superior acquisitions of the larger corporation by those conducting the affairs of the smaller corporation whose efforts in the past had not manifested the capabilities considered by those they proposed to absorb of such efficiency as to warrant their acquiescence of the proposed arrangement, and therefore they unanimously authorized such steps to by taken as would defeat the attempted annexation."

At a meeting of the offloera of the
Baptist Athletic club, held in the club-
rooms on State street Tueday evening,
It was decided to permanent disband
the organization formerly known as the
Baptist Athletic league. The meeting
was called to decide whether or not the
club should still exist, and after the
matter was thoroughly discussed it was decided by the officers to do away with
the once popular organization.
The clubrooms were turned ovar to the church, to whom the property be
longs, together with the apparatus
used in the clubrooms. A small amount of money which still remained, in the treasury department was also given to
the church. ,
The Baptist Athletic club was organized for the purpose of having a place in which the young men of the
church could come together and in
dulge in different athletic sports. The club proved to be a success for a while and still hu.d money in the treasury.
but at a meeting of the church trus
tees last week they decided that the
property which was used by the club up
until last night would bring in about
$300 annually If rented. After talking the matter over with the members of the club it was decided to do away
with the club and to rent out he prop
erty.
The place has not been rented to any one as yet, but there are plenty of ap
plicants who are after the building.
Gary will again endeavor to fill the
seat of joint representative from Iak and Newton counties, as another candidate has been produced for that office.
Attorney C. M. Renollet today an
nounces that he desires to fill the shoes
recently cast aside by W. H. Kllver.
It has been the opinion of local re
publicans ever since the nomination was
given to Mr. Kliver that this city wa
entitled to that representation in the
legislature. Up to the present time there
has been but one other man out for the place, that being Wlllard B. Van Home of Indiana Harbor, who switched from
senator to make room for Frank Oar
it of Whiting. Conceding their re
spective cities to these two candidates, the manner in which Hammond will
vote will undoubtedly decide the ques
tlon of the nomination. ....
Mr. Renollet has been the man most
frequently spoken of for the office in Gary .outside of Ingwald Moe, and the latter did not seemisposed to accept
the offer of support in the race made
to him by a few of his friends. .One
candidate did not desire to come out
before the other, and now that one of them has practically withdrawn the other saw his way clear to make the
announcement.
Mr. Renollet has been one of the most
consistent and capable workers in the
republican party in Gary and he will undoubtedly receive strong support in his own city.. It is believed that with Dr. Frank Smith as a oandidate for
coroner and Renollet placed on the tick-
for Joint representative that Gary would be able to make a most creditable showing for the republican ticket next November.

longer attend parties or other enter

The company's position in the matter, it la understood, is that the wearing 6f low-necked apparel gives the girls colda, interfering with the general efficiency, and that a like result is also produced by staying up late.

nomination. Gary will be satisfied with the one candidate on the county ticket
so that there is now no political intrica
cies to worry the local politicians or
hinder them from putting in some good
licks during the coming campaign.
However, there is one question which
Gary would like to have settled in the near future and that is whether or not Frank Gavit of Whiting will be given
the senatorial nomination in the face of the strong objection on the part of the Gary contingency. The basis of their opposition is as follows:
1. They believe that he assisted dur
ing the last municipal campaign In the election of the democratic ' mayor of
Gary, Tom Knotts, by voting his em
ployes on the Gary and Interurban for that man.
2. They believe that his opposition
to the Gary court at Indianapolis was
featured by unfair tactics and they could not send him to the legislature for that reason.
3. The Gary and Interurban, of
which he is president, has not lived up
to their franchise in paving Broadway, which has not only been unsightly, but resulted i the death of one of the city's prominent citizens.

The village board holds a meeting this evening, but the outlook this afternoon waa that there will be only routine business.

alleys They are a disgrace to any community. But one person cannot keep them clean.. It takes every person in the block, on every street in the city. To tell the truth, it would be a hard proposition to get down some of the alleys for the tin cans, paper, garbage, ashes, etc. If they were paved they, of course, would look better and in many towns which cannot boost the streets, Hammond has. the alleys are almost like streets with their paved cleanliness. It has been said by some one, that a woman's front door is indicative of the kind of woman that lives within. This
is not true. Many a woman has an attractive front door and beautiful reception hall, whots kitchen and back door are well, terrible.
So Hammond has beautiful streets

them, but let our health officers take a
trip over the. city, via the alleys. Let
them loolc into the barns, the back yards, the garbage dumps in resident
sections of the city and then make

So to avoid this, let us have a city
house-cleaning day. Let the children get to work with rakes and hoes; let the paper and trash be burned so far
as possible and let the rest be hauled away. Then It will be time to begin making Hammond the "city beautiful" of Indiana. Here Is where the women of

A Plea for Civic Beauty. Hammond, Ind., March 24, '1910, Editor, Times:
It behooves very man, woman and
child in Hammond to do all in their power to make this city, the pride of
the state in cleanliness and beauty.
It is true this can not be made a "city beautiful" in a few weeks, not even In a year, but it can be made clean
and a start begun towards making it at
least attractive.
Can not some Saturday be set aside
by the city as a general cleaning day?
Do we not need it? Go down our
the privilege of seeing beautiful things?
To bury their impressions in- our hearts? No and in truth, the art instinct Is not in our hearts no matter how we may talk on Leonard's Da Vinci's masterpieces or discuss- Michael Angelo or Titian if we can be content in doing nothing to make our own city
beautiful.
It Is true Hammond Is not without lta
beautiful sections, its parks, etc., but again I say It Is like a house with a beautiful parlor and dining room and
perhaps one pretty guest room with
the rest well, you don t show your
friends the other part, do you?
Stop and think where you take your friends when you want to show them Hammond, your home, and you will have to acknowledge I am right. But it takes every one to make Hammond beautiful and this is .why I say educate the children of the city with the feeling tha tit is as much their duty as tha tof any one else to bring this state of cleanliness and beauty. In a certain respect It is more than their duty, as they are the coming gereratlon of the city are the ones, who, as adults will see the results and be able to enjoy the culmination of the efforts begun now. But what can our children do if we do not set the example if we do not assist them?
We can bring this about in such a way as to see some results In a very Bhort time. Let some of the organlza-

Let this be in the denominational as well as public schools, below tha high schrool. See how eagei?'" they will grasp the idea ot havln' ' own

Then take a drive about the city during the summer and it will not only be in the most prosperous part of Hammond where you will see flowers, but around the humblest homes in town will you see the well-kept beds of beautiful flowers. How precious those seeds given to the children will seem to them. Even the child who has nothing but beauty and happiness around her, will price her little packet of seed, given her at school, for her own flower bed, far more than several times that amount of far more choice seed given at home. Then the crowning beauty of all will come In the fall, during the first weeks of school. Let suitable prlaea be offered to the schools sending the most beautiful and largest collections to some store down town, where they will be in view of the public. Let the children give their experiences in raising their flowers and
see what tnese lew nowers nave de

It is probable that Senator A. J. Beveridge will be the chairman of the republican state convention April 5. On that occasion the convention chairman will outline, in a carefully considered address, the republican campaign policies and expound party principles. Ever since the convention date was set there have been recurrence and
repetition of the urgent suggestion that Senator Beveridge ought to state 1 the issues, sound the keynote and pro
vide the slogan of . battle. Republlcan8 all over the state have declared that
Senator Beveridge Is the man who can.
with most force and fitness and un
deniable eloquence, judgment and logic, give the republican party the
campaign word and , the campaign thunder needed for 1910.
Senator Beveridge Is practically the
only man who has been suggested for
the convention' chairmanship. His abil

siding officer have been tested and
found good in past conventions, and it
Is now understood that Seantor Bev
