GALVESTON'S WORD TO HAMMOND.

The people of Hammond who glory in the fact that an ultra conservative administration, has reduced the indebtedness of the city to a minimum

at the cost of ari adequate water supply, sanitary sewage disposal, widened streets, parks and boulevards might do well to ponder over the indomitable

spirit of the city r)f Galveston, Texas.

Galveston Is a city of 40,000 Inhabitants. It Is the principal gulf port of Texas. Hammond is a city of 30,000 inhabitants and is the principal city

bordering on the Indiana shores of Lake Michigan, and hence the comparison

13 a favorable one.

' Galveston was located 'on a low Island in Gabvostoa bay, about two miles from the mainland, when on that terrible day. in the year 1900, a huge tidal - wave swept over the city causing a property loss of 120,000,000 and a human

loss of 6,000 souls. .

It was a discouraging prospect that the people of this little Texas city

faced after the water had receded and the full appreciation of the terrible

loss came over the survivors.

But the plucky people of Galveston did not desert their city even

though it did seem to be a hopeless task to rebuild the -wrecked metropolis.

The first task they undertook was the building of a sea wall which cost them $1,200,000. When this was completed the second great project, that of raising the grade of the entire city several feet, was. undertaken at a cost of $2,000,000. And now that Galveston has been raised out of the sea the third great project, that of building a protected roadway from the city to the

main land, a distance of two miles, has been undertaken at a cost of $1,500

000.

This roadway is designed to furnish tailroads, electric lines and ordinary

vehicles a means of egress and ingress to the city, of Galveston. It involves the building of two concrete walls, '119 apart, which will be filled with dredging from the bottom of the bay and will form a wide causeway across the bay. It will be seen that these three projects will, when completed, cost the city of Galveston in the neighborhood of $5,000,000. And remember the city of Galveston has only 10,000 more people than the city of Hammond. Galveston knew that this money would have to be spent or it would . lose its prestige as the principal port of Texas to Port Arthur or some other coast city. The city of Hammond is faced with a situation that is equally grave. Unless its water supply is made adequate and is purified unless the danger of typhoid fever that arises from the unscientific disposition of its sewage is removed, unless its streets are extended and widened and the city Is beautified its prestige as the principal city of northern Indiana will soon be a thing of the past. Is it necessary that Hammond be visited by a terrible scourge of fever, or that its business section be destroyed by fire at a time when slush ice clogs the intake before the people will awaken to the dire necessity of spending a million dollars or more for these improvements? Is it. necessary for the city of Gary to prove that well laid out streets, modern municipal conveniences, parks and boulevards are the things that make an ideal resident: i city, while Hammond sits idly by and watches the, experiment? If Hammond had suffered a million-dollar fire last winter when by the grace of God alone the city was saved from destruction would the taxpayer now be applauding penny wise and pound of foolish economy? . John WDyer said not long ago, "1 would be satisfied if the city were a million dollars in debt if I knew the money had been spent honestly in the upbuilding of the city," and there are very few men in Hammond who pay more taxes than Dyer.

THERE seems to be a growing ap

prehension that the , north pole has

been shipped into Indiana.

THE SPRING FEVER. The weather is probably responsible for its prevalence, but whatever the cause, it is certain that spring fever is epidemic, virulently epidemic just now. 4 - It is the most annoying, aggravating, disagreeable, dog-gondest disease that ever tackled a fellow, Is this spring fever, it gets Into the bones, somehow, 'bout this time o' the year and makes him want to do nothing with alt his' might and rest while he is doing it.

Even effects his clothes, and they don't feel very good on him; they rub and scratch, and stick and worry a fellow; they have been hung to all winter. Part of them work around his neck and the balance around his feet and he doesn't feel comfortable high or low. Causes dellrum, the spring fever does. Fellow closes his eyes and imagines he hears the birds a-calling him, and thinks he smells the clover nnd hears the wobbly calves and lambs crying for their mothers in the pasture. When spring fever gets hold of a man he isn't responsible for what he sees, or hears, or smells with his eyes closed, nor says. Gets sort of dizzy, too. 'The papers on his desk move before his eyes like the floating foam on the water beneath the old mill dam, where he Ecyamore droops over to whisper to it Telephone rings and he Jumps up as if he was shot, and he vthinks it is the humming of his reel a bass strikes the minnow. . ..... . , . . . Terrible disease is this spring fever. Bones ache, head swims, Hps dry up and crack, shoes hurt, flannels burn, and. you can't go without them like you use to without being arrested. "" There isn't anything that will cure it," either, unless you steal away a day or two from jour work and go out to the creek and take off your shoes and wade in over the ripples. Then the stones are not smooth Jiko they use to be and you are apt to cut your foot on a tin can that some fisherman has dashed in the water, cussing hi3 ill luck. And why is It all? It's because we are not boys any more, but are getting old and crabbed and have lost all our sense of enjoyment. It's folly to worry about It, because

when you get back to the office after a day's leave of absence, the spring

fever is thjere to grasp you by the hand, but you dig into your work and

mayoe you gei some enjoyment out oi It after all, just because well, may

be, you have a boy who used to enjoy it as you did.

IF you don't take any interest in the baseball situation, you can at least be pleasant about it and make people think you do. ' " WHEN you see a young man blinking sidewise at a go-cart as he passes It, it is a safe bet that something is going to happen. - - "I'M awfully sorry the people have to pay these prices," sayB J. Ogden Armour. Poor Oggy, but you take the money just the same. "INJUSTICE is the only foe that protection needs to rfear," says Sen

"THIS IS MY 59TH BIRTHDAY" Daalel O. S. Lowell. Daniel Osre Smith Lowell, for many years prominent in New England educational circles, was born In Denmark, Maine, April 13, 1851, and received his education at Bowdoin College. After

graduating from Bowdoin in 1874 he spent several years In the study of medicine, but instead of becoming a physician he decided to adopt the profession of teaching. Until 1884 he was engaged as a teacher in various schools and academies in Maine. For the past

twenty-five years he has been at the head of the Roxbury Latin school, , ne of Boston's oldest and best known institutions of learning. Dr. Lowell is

well known as a contributor to the leading magazines on subjects of travel, literature and education. At its commencement exercises last year Bowdoin College conferred upon hm the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.

Probably due to the fact that there are some people who pay the doctor bills promptly.

In speaking of the increase in courts in Indiana and referring directly

o the congestion In Lake county, the Fort Wayne News says: Governor Marshall has the correct idea in collecting the facts and figures with which to combart the flood of court bills that will be presented at the next session of the legislature. Indiana has enough courts now to transact all, her business without In the least crowding the judges, and while Lake count will eventually merit - an increment, the added expease might be very properly be taken care-of by uniting a few of the circuits that now have little or no business.

" If I could write one noble song, I heard the poet cry, an anthem clean and bold and strong, too grandly pure to die, I would not care for worldly state but that's a futile h6pe; I have to Write a hundred weight of rhymes on Jimson's soap. Could I, the sad musician said, produce one living strain, to hunt the world when I am dead, my soul would know no pain; to have men say the harp was struck by one great master hand! But I must play it's just my luck the bass drum In the band. And thus it is and always was since Time took up Its path; poor foolish man rears up and paws the air in idle wrath. We think it vain for higher things to work, and plan, and try; unless we have some hand-made wings We know we cannot fly; and that Is why we seldom soar much higher than the grass; we write cheap odes or make a roar on instruments of brass.
