NEGLECT IS PATENT THERE. There Is but one direct way of reaching Chicago from Hammond and that Is by means of one of the worst roads in Lake county. That a city which prides itself on being the gateway from Chicago to Indiana should have such a disgraceful highway is reflection on its enterprise and public spiritedness. Ordinarily it would be expected that there would be fire or six roads between Chicago and the growing cities of Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago and Gary. At the good roads meeting, which was recently held in South Bend, the fact was brought out that Lake county has more improved roads than any
other county in Northern Indiana, and yet there is but one road that connects the magnificent street and boulevard system of Chicago with these miles upon miles of country boulevards in Indiana. Good roads are a commercial necessity. Since the advent of the auto track as a means of transporting freight for short distances, the consumer in the sifburban towns surrounding Chicago is relieved of the necessity of paying high freight rates for the short haul. Instead of loading the freight on a wagon, packing it in a freight car, unloading it at the local depot and finally paying the drayage from the depot to it3 final destination, the auto truck carries the freight from the warehouse to Its destination much more expeditiously and at far less cost. It is also a noticeable fact that the people of Hammond are coming to rely more and more on their autombiles as a means of passenger travel between this city and the metropolis. This is true of other cities of the region. It is also a fact that many thousand tons of freight are each year car
ried from Chicago to the cities of the region by wagon. In fact there is a regular caravan of wagons passing backward and forward each day. These facts make it apparent that the people of Hammond and the county commissioners should see to it that the single road, between Chicago and Hammond is made the best that money can make it, and that other roads be opened up as soon as possible. If Calumet avenue were extended through to Robertsdale and One Hundred and Nineteenth street were extended westward from "Whiting to Irondale and northward to South Chicago, an entirely new entrance to Chicago from the cities of the Calumet region would be provided. The village of West Hammond should also be encouraged to build a , viaduct over the Michigan Central tracks at Burnham avenue and in this manner provide a new western route to South Chicago and Chicago from the east. - t The Hammond Automobile association is to be commended in taking the steps to improve the roads between Hammond and Chicago, for Hammond is indeed the gateway and it should merit that distinction.

WEEK'S PROGRAM IN CONGRESS (Sunday, June 5, 1910.) SENATE. Conservation legislation Is expected to occupy practically all of the time in the senate tomorrow and probably most of the week. There is every indication that party lines will be dissolved in connection with the public land ' withdrawal bill. Some of the western senators are preparing to attack the Roosevelt-Garfield administration of the public domain, while on the other hand other western senators are ex. pected to indorse the radical program carried out under Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester. It is believed the bill will be voted upon before Saturday. HOUSE. The house committee on postoffices and post roads will meet tomorrow and probably report to the house the postal savings bank bill perfected last week in the republican caucus. The committee on rules is expected, to meet Tuesday and report out a special rule giving the postal bank bill the. right of way through legislative channels. It is expected the measure will be
voted upon before Saturday. Speak

Many vain attemps have been made to kill the owl. WIFE BALKS PLANS.

THE UNHAPPY HUSBAND. His eyes were full of unshed tears; he labors like a yoke of steers to drive the lean wolf from his door, and still he often hears It roar. He takes hln money home and hands it to the woman who commands. He has no time for rest or play; he grinds and grinds his life away; he might enjoy existence yet, he might serenely strive and sweat, if, when he toddled home at night, th folks would meet him with delight. There is no sunshine In his life, because he hsa a nagging wife. She has a tireless tongue that flops and wags away, and never stops. He comes home weary, stiff and halt, to hear the hautfrau finding fault, and walling over this and that, and throwing bootjacks at the cat. Some day, when driven to despair, he'ir knocli his brains out with a chair, and get the peace he long has sought, and mourned because he found It not. Oh, housewives of the bitter tongues and brazen throats and leather lungs, remember that this nagging graft has driven hosts of husbands datt. The man who labors hard all day, and to his fam'ly brings his pay, and sacrifices all the Joys indulged in by the other boys, deserves a home devoid of strife; deserves a kind and smiling wife. He labors in the heat and glare, and he should leave his troubles there, and going home at close of day find peace and comfort holding sway. WALT MASON. Copyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.

LIFE'S BATTLE FOR HIM IS O'ER. It may be asked with perfect propriety if the battle is sometimes worth while. The strenuous career of nowadays for the man actively engaged in it undoubtedly shortens his life, providing he lets nothing stand In the way of his grueling work. Especially true is this In newspaper work. Today there arrives in Hammond from Pasadena the dead body of Fred Borman, former editor of the Hammond Advocate, who undoubtedly shortened his life by the hard work and unceasing toil he put into It. Since he had been in the newspaper and printing business for the last twelve years, Mr. Borman had labored night and day with infinite zeal to fulfill his ambitions. He had no thought but how he might be successful in his line of work and in spite of the fact that he was not consttutionally strong he worked bravely to meet the exigencies of life as they came to him. He was a hero as much as though he had fought his fight on the grim battlefield. He was a good citizen and an exemplary father, and the last tribute to Fred Borman is that he was a game fighter and a hard worker. But in his and in other cases it may be asked, Is it worth while?
ABOUT "PREMATURE" NEWS. THE TIMES a few weeks ago printed a story to the effect that the Pittsburg Bolt & Screw company was to locate its plant in Gary, in the very near future. The story was at that time denied by the other Gary papers who labeled it as premature. On Saturday the Gary Land company gave out official information that the Pittsburg Bolt & Screw company had purchased twenty acres of land and would start immediately the erection of their plant. From a close persual of the columns of the Gary papers it can be readily seen that THE TIMES is always a little "premature" in giving out the important pews of Gary and surrounding territory.
