MILLER'S RISING STAR.
Old timers in Lake county must have gasped for breath Saturday last
when they read in this newspaper of the revolutionary things that the Miller town board had done in the way of municipal improvements. Aeroplanes
may soar over the county and churches may be built in a day in Tolleston
They will excite comment but the things that are to be done in Miller's re
veals the trend of the times that the new era in Lake county is to reach
the most isolated parts of its dominions.
Miller was one of the first places settled in the Calumet region. It was
a thriving but small fishing village when South Chicago was undreamt of and
a quarter century before Hammond was born.
Miller begins to take on prominence because of the advent of Gary
Whatever importance it rises to i3 because of the steel city. Some day Miller
will be a part of Gary and to predict that a decade hence the mouth of the Little Calumet river, which seeks the lake in the town will be dotted with steel works and belching blast furnaces is not a fanciful dream. Miller lies just to the east of Gary, it has a potential natural harbor and all of the
railroad facilities, with, of course, the economic stragetical points. Because of this the region will always be a magnet to iron and steel industries and
only time is the chief essence of the span until Miller takes on industrial
Importance.
Until the middle period of this decade Miller was a sleeping fishing
Village peopled by hardy folks from the Scandinavian peninsula. The de
scendants of the Vikings earned their living with the trawls and nets, while
others were engaged in the sand business.
Some day a literary person will come to Miller and when they do they
win find in its quaint people a wealth of material for a novel. By reason of the environment, the peculiar topography and Its being shut off from even
neighboring communities, Miller has developed customs all its own and entirely different from the rest of the county. Indiana is characteristic of pic- - ture studies but the picturesqueness of Miller is characteristic of itsself and
has no replica in the Hoosier state. In some way Sarah Pratt McLean's charming book on the "Cape Cod Folks" would portray some of the Miller people. All that the author would ' have to do is transform the sand dunes scenes from the bleak Massachusetts coast to the windswept shores of southern Lake Michigan. Those who have ' read Sir Walter Scott's admirable story, "The Pirate," which has its scenic ; background on the Norwegian settled Isles off the Scottish shores, cannot but help to find a striking comparison. But now the spirit of progress has settled in Miller. If it is to lose its . quaint chafm by the invasion of modern development it will do so rapidly. . Its the rising generation and the newcomers who are bringing in the up-to-date ideas. Instead of a daily conversation cn sand piles, fishing nets and marsh waters, lengthy debates on bond issues, a new town hall and municipal ' electric light occupy the attention of the people of the village. Even as a late date as the spring of 1908 the wolf and the fox, when driven out by the fires in the Calumet marshes, found refuge in the Miller sand dunes fastness. However, the day of industrialism is at hand and ; with it comes all the vestiges of modern progress which bolts out all traces ; of the primitive past.

WHAT ABOUT THE GIRL? Certain recent recurrent incidents which have been given publicity in the newspapers of the Calumet region, have suggested again the fact that ' mothers can not be too cautious in regard to the companions of their daughters, and the manner and places in which girls who have not attained -years of discretion pass their time. This paper has repeatedly reiterated the necessity of eternal vigilance'
' on the part of parents in this regard, and the dangers, which in a region like I the Calumet region, beset the path of the young girl. That manv girls
; reach young womanhood without serious consequences, is quite as frequently - due to chance, as It is to home protection, but how many are there to whom
I chance is not so kind and. who fail to escape the snares and pitfalls that are
: laid for their young feetMothers should not lay too much stress upon the fact that they them
selves have led exemplary lives, that their daughters' fathers are good and
v worthy men, and that their children Inherit good blood.
These same mothers may never have been tempted by as unscrupulous
a seducer as may practice his arts upon their daughter. Had they gone
through the trying ordeals which come to many of the young girls who live In shame and die in dishonor, it is not for them to say whether they today
would be leading te exemplary life of wife and mother that they now occupy.
Girls are just as human as boys, and vastly more ignorant of the dangers
tnat beset tbelr path. There is a time in every girl s life, when if the
right man, or if the term be preferred, the "wrong" man got her in his in
.fluence, she would yield to him. Ignorance of the world, faith in what appear to her as friends love and passion, all combine to bring about the
downfall of the unprotected girl, no matter what her inheritance no matter
what her disposition.
So the best a mother can do, is to throw, every safeguard about her
daughter. Sometimes these even fail, but if they do, the mother's con science is at least clear. She has done her best.

Such a thing is absolutely inexcusable, and it seems to me s '," - that even in cases where there is no clue to the owner the finder should feel 1
bound to make some effort to restore the article. If a valuable article is found in a building or Btore or train or car there is, of course a lost article department to which it should turned over. Some people object to doing this on the ground that if the owner does not claim the property the lost article department, and not the finder, profits, but I think that in most of these places you will find people ready to agree to let you have the article if the owner does not claim it within a certain time.
