ADVANTAGES OF INTER-CITY MAIL SERVICE. It may be accepted as a fact tHat tHe city wit the Dest means of Intercommunication with the outeide world is the most progressive city. The railroads, interurbans. street railways, canals, deep waterways, city streets, country highways.' telegraph, telephone and the United States man form the commercial capilary system which gives life to a municipality. The municpality which is eager .for th- highest commercial development will work unceasingly for the development of these means of intercommuniJust at the present time the cities of the Calumet region are investigating the feasibility of establishing an inter-city mail service. The necessity for this service lies not only in the need for the quicker dispatch of mail between the various cities of the region, but it will give each of the cities of the region on nf the rvioe that the cities collectively have.
wv of illustration: The city of Hammond has two north and south
railroads, the Monon and the Chicago. Cincinnati & Louisville, which provide
excellent mail service with central and southern Indiana ana au points souui. Th r-itv of East Chicago has one north and south railroad, the Chicago, In-
q o .i -Mr. nmviriPR service to western Indiana towns not
QlUQa CV OUULUClUt " ui' i. 1' reached by the Monon or Chicago. Cincinnati & Louisville- All of these roada Tnaito valuable railway postoffice connections with scores of. other railroads.
The city of Gary has no north and south railroads. Consequently Gary mail bound for Indianapolis. Cincinnati or Danville must first go to Chicago
and then be sent southward to its destination.'
By the establishment of an inter-city mail service with a cenral clearing station the city of Hammond would have the advantage of East Chicago's Chicaeo. Indiana & Southern service; East Chicago would have the advantage
of Hammond's Monon and C. C & L. service; Gary would have the advantage
of both the East Chicago and the Hammond north and south routes, and in
return both East Chicago and Hammond would have access to Gary's Lake
Shore and Pennsylvania main line service to the east.
It must therefore 'be apparent that the establishment of this inter-city mail service will be of inestimable value to all of the cities of the region in the development of the best mail service in northern Indiana. Lake county's
75,000 people demand the establishment of the service. A MIGHTY DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
A number of cases have been observed of late where riders of motor
cycles appear on the streets carrying young babies and young children on
improvised seats on the front of the contraptions.
It seems remarkable that parents of young children should not exercise better judgment than to thus expose their offspring to danger of life and limb, to say nothing of the impairment of their nervous system by this prac
tice. Physicians are agreed that swift motion .such as the motorcycle affords, endangers the brain and even the lives of children of tender years. A collision is not necessary to kill even a strong man, to say nothing of a tender infant. Cases are on record of men being deprived of breath to such an extent as to make it expedient to lessen their speed with alacrity, or strangle. When the rider of a motorcycle experiences the sensation he has it within his power to check his speedBut what of the helpless child in front of him? Many physicians have put the ban on motorcycles as a menace to the health of the riders, and several cases have of lat? been recorded in the newspapers of young men succumbing to nervous breakdowns, which their physicians have declared was due to nothing but indulgence of their mania tor riding. If memory fails not ordinances were passed In some of the larger cities of the country making it a punishable offense for bicycle riders to carry young children on their wheels. This was at a time when there was such a craze for riding bicycles that it amounted to little short of a mania with some people. If bicycle riding was considered sufficiently dangerous to warrant the passage of such an ordinance, how much more necessary is the prohibition of the carrying of young children on motorcycles?

DOWN-TRODDEN HUSBAND. "Oh, but I wish that Elizer homeward would come from the club!" murmured poor Henry Budwiser, toiling away at the tub. "All of my short ribs are aching, ah, how my vertebra hurts! I am so weary of baking, weary of washing old shirts! Weary of numberless stitches, weary of herding the kids, weary of patching up breeches, weary of, washing old lids! While I am
scrubbing and sewing, working my hands to the bone, my wife she is jauntily going off to some club of her own; there, to a bunch of the ladies, she will deliver a spiel, treating of art work in Cadiz, or slumming around in Castile.
Is it, is it justice, that husbands must suffer and groan, doing the labors that bust us, working our hands to the bone? Baking and sewing and washing, wetting our whiskers with tears, wading and swimming and sloshing, in soapsuds up to our ears?" Back from her club came Elizer, back to her own drawing room; and hearing the plaint of Budwiser, ahe swatted him one with the broom , WALT MASON. Copyright, 1910, by George Matthew Adams.

WATCHING THE FRANCHISES. Although certain members of the Gary city council, have by their past conduct, manifested a disposition to look with favor on the street grabbing trolley franchises, they will hardly dare ignore public sentiment. The citizens are thoroughly aroused to the fact that the present franchise demands means the absolute giving away of all of the 6outh end streets. That the people of Gary are determined that no odorous traction grants fhall be given any street car company by the council may be judged from the fact that they will present organized oppositio nto any move in this direction.
Ranged against any franchise which Is not decent, honest and remunerative
to the city is the following formidable array: Gary's three daily newspapers. The Gary Commercial club. Property ownersSome of the councilmen. The mayor. If this does not represent public sentiment it cannot be defined. No conn cilman will hardly take a chance in ignoring it.
THE GARY & SOUTHERN TRACTION CO. Like a rivulet in the hills growing in force until it rushes a mighty river Into the sea, Is the sentiment in Gary regarding the Gary & Southern traction franchise propositionThe people murmured at first that they wanted the line to get entrance into the city from the south. The sentiment grew in power until the clamor has become so loud that there is no escaping it. The newspapers of Gary have kept the sentiment alive; they have watered it and cared for it until it has come to be a growth that must be recognized. Let the Gary city administration take heed of the clamor. It is not mere noise- It is a mighty roar. Gary wants inter-communication by electric line with Crown Point and the points that lie between. We believe that the council has good sense too good sense to ignore the warning. ' ' , ' - - - - The Gary & Southern Traction company should be served.
