FOR A GRANDER CALUMET REGION.
Persons of susceptible stomachs, who are revolted to the toes by the r disquietude exisiting in the cities of the Calumet region, had better fold up
' their tents like the Arabs and silently steal away.
They are not needed In the Calumet region either In East Chicago,
. Indiana Harbor, Gary, Hammond or Whiting.
This is no placid urban meadow dotted with lowing kine and all that
babbling brook stuff. We may deplore certain conditions that are some
what tempestuous and cause ructions and rumpuses, bun it must not be
forgotten that they indicate growth and economic improvement. It is impossible to build up the cities of this region without these ir
ritants. They are necessary, but not .wholly evils. Out of them good will
come.
Where these economic, political, social undulations do not result in an
upheaval, they obtain for the betterment of society.
If there were sloth, lassitude or the essence of viciousness in this region,
it would be time to be alarmed. It may jar your nerves, but it will never sap your health. The clouds are rolling by. : c
IS IT PROPERLY CREDITED?
The newspaper, that most maligned and criticized of latter day neces
ity, gets less credit perhaps for what it accomplishes, than any agency for
good that exists. " , i
It and its workers may be the means of carrying the name of a town else unheard of, to the uttermost parts of the earth; It and its workers may
be the means of advertising a city in a manner no amount of money could pay for, and yet, because the results are not directly felt by any one person, what it achieves In this line, goes utterly without tnanks, excepting
where a very few far-seeing, hard-headed men of business, who are gener
ou3 enough to acknowledge it, are concerned.
Without the newspapers, what would the Calumet region be today? What put Gary on the map? The newspapers quite as much as the United States Steel corporation. Hundreds of pages of readable advertising, such
as merchants would give thousands of dollars to get, but which they are
denied by the ethics of Journalism, have been published by the greates
newspapers in the country at no cost to the city. Who have been the means
of keeping the name of not only Gary, but Indiana Harbor, East Chicago,
Hammond, Whiting and oiner cities of the region, constantly before the
public? , The local newspapers and the men who make them.
No man can estimate the amount of good that has accrued to the Calu
met region by meaijs of ye editor and the humble scribe, who labors under
his direction.

BROADWAY FROM GARY TO MERRILL VILLE.
The desire of the Ross township farmers to have Broadway extended to
Merrillvllle, which will mean an additional length of nearly three miles,
quite significant of Gary's advance. With the completion of the proposed
extension Indiana's most Imposing thoroughfare will be nine miles in length
It is not too rosy a view to believe that the near future will see Broad
way a great artery running as far south as Crown Point. A few years ago
it was not dreamed that the noted highway would be opened as far as the
Little Calumet river. Yet today it is paved to the Ridge road country, and the desired extension will . increase Its length by one-half. The proposed extension is to be an eighty-foot gravel road. The extension of Broadway into the heart of the county is merely the preliminary to the opening up of an interurban line linking the rural and the industrial parts of the county. Interurbans always follow in the wake of much traveled highways and it will surely pay those who build such a line.

1912. Well that's the only kind he
will be.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 4. President Taft will take a hurried trip to Sprinsfleld, in., at the end of the week to attend the Lincoln anniversary banquet in that city. On his way to the Illinois capital the President will make a brief stop in Columbus to speak at the National Corn Exposition. King George will open Parliament Monday. He will be accompanied by the Queen, and there wUl be a full atate ceremony. Owing to tfce stirring national issues to come up for settlement the parliamentary session Is expected to be one of the most momentous of recent years. The meeting of the Newfoundland legislature called for Wednesday will attract more than ordinary attention outside the colony from the fact that the proposed fisheries regulations recently concluded with the , United States will come up for consideration and action. The initiative and referendum and a number of other questions of public importance are included In the agenda of the Manitoba legislature, which will asembla in regular session Thursday. The event of the week In the social world will be the international wedding to take place in New York ruesday, when Miss Vivien Gouio, aaughter of Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould, will become the bride of Lord Decies. Abraham Ruef, once political boss of San Francisco, under sentence of fourteen years' imprisonment for alleged bribery of a supervisor, will appear in the California supreme court Monday to plead for a new trial Thursday is the day for the special election to be held in Ariona to vote on the ratification or rejection of the new Statfe constitution. The appeal in the case of Dr. B. Clark Hyde, under sentence of life Im

maintaining a room for gaming, was begun in the Circuit Court there yesterday morning. The' convietlon ot Superintendent Williamson depends up
on the question as to whether the playing of "freese out" and other card games in the cigar stores for checks is gambling, and this decision rests with a Jury composed mostly of farmers.
8K.iCH BOOTLEGGER'S HOME. The home of George, Beprogla of K-
Komo was searched yesterday morning and 100 pints of whisky discovered
which were taken to police haadquart

THE DAY IN CONGRESS
WE WONDER, INDEED! We wonder what those carp that were seined out of the Calumet river and sold to certain Chicago houses and which constituted the basis for a lawsuit between those who did the seining and those who took the fish off the seiners' hands, would have tasted like to the Chicago epicures to whom they appeared under various names and a variety of dressings, as course two, had they known where they came from. Supposing those to whom they were dished up had had ail inkling that the finny monstrosities, parading under those delectable sounding French names, had been nourished on the refuse from the sewage which festers in the filthiest stream in the combined states of Illinois and Indiana. Would they have rolled the tidbit, made palatable and gustatory by culinary ingenuity, under their tongue with the usual relish, or would they have left the festive mahogany in haste and, well, done something else?
AS THE MEMBERS of the prohibition party in Indiana glance around this evening and view , the plight of the republican party, which stood by them so nobly, we wonder what they think NOW of their ingratitude and TKEIR plight as they read oyer the. Proctor option bill? And we wonder, too.' if the republican party has learned its little lesson?

FOR some strange reason Miss
Dorothy Arnold, the disappearing1 New York beauty, has not been heard from
in the late lamented Mrs. Gunness' town.
ft THE legislature seems to be determined to pass a few bills anyway, whether they be good or ,bad. It doesn't seem to make much difference. ee PENNSYLVANIA women object to draping the statutes in Harrisburg. That's right girls, if there is any drapery to spare give it to the live ones. . UNDERSTAND that the Iman of Sana has declared war against Turkey. It this Sana person is looking for troubles, let him come to our region
for a scrap. , e CARNEGIE has given $10,000,000 for scientific research. Let's have a little of it to start scientific research along the line of the 'recurrent
troubles in these parts. 1
AS one paper has pointed out, Nome will ask for a recount. To get this through, you it may be necessary to add that Nome has lost 10,000 in population since Rex Beach left it. IF the resolutions passed by the Gary Commercial club and the work done at the Hammond Business Men's meeting, had been put over about two years ago, a lot of trouble would hare been spared. e AND then, after receiving all the expert advice, editorial and otherwise, on the Indiana situation, the president goes right ahead not appointing Chairman Lee or any other man. Indianapolis Star.
Looks a good deal like lifting themselves up by their bootstraps. A WASHINGTON dispatch says: "The governorship bee is buzzing in the bonnets of many congressmen, and Cline, of Indiana, says that if a man would step ito a certain dining room where sixty cogressmen eat, and call out, 'Hello, governor,' at ' least forty of them would smile, bow, and say,, 'Why, how'd'y'do?"' But would any of them claim the umbrella?
