If the police of Hammond will rid the Four Corners of loafers, barflies .and guttersnipes they will have conferred an everlasting favor on the people of Hammond. If there was any other way for a lady to go from north to south Hohman street or vice versa without having to run the gauntlet of hoodlums on those Four Corners, -what a blessing it would be. Summer is coming, the old evil Is approaching. A good rule for an officer would be to make the loafers get off in the street to keep the sidewalks clear. A hoodlum is too cowardly to stand in the street where he might be run over.

: SV - THE COUNTY SEAT PROPOSITION. That the story printed in these columns regarding the possible removal of the county seat to Gary would create a furore was to be expected. It was the biggest sensation of the year. It is amusing to note the various receptions it met within its peregrinations. One Gary paper hurries into its greaves, buckles on Its gauntlets and prepares for war. It declares that i Hammond shall not give Gary the county seat, and that Gary doesn't want It. Oh, very well, perhaps Hammond will be kind enough to give it to Black Oak or let it stay where it is. Let us not have any fuss over it.
HAVE THEY AUGHT TO ARBITRATE? The Gary Commercial club In its dally reports to the public 1s stating facts which cannot be denied or controverted. The Contractors' association has taken the position that the time is past for arbitration with the unions. When a contract or agreement is broken there is little use for arbitration, for when settlements of disputes is reached there is no way to be assured that these agreements will not be broken again. . In these cases the Commercial club points out that' the unions broke faith. The records of, the association show that arbitration was always promptly given when asked for by the party having a grievance and having right to arbitration. The unions cannot gainsay this because It is true, and as long as this is the case the contractors have taken the stand that as far as they are concerned, they have nothing to arbitrate.
THE PARENTS' FAULT.
Evidences of gross parental neglect are patent in several interesting
yet shocking police court cases which have been made public in various cities hereabouts recently.
That children In the main, follow what they habitually see and hear,
and that the parent is primarily to blame in nine out of ten cases of way
wardness, is the statement made by Votaw, the noted educator in a speech
before the annual convention of the Educational association yesterday. Votaw said in part: . "The home has the first and the best chance to influence the rising generation,. The education which parents give to their children may be, and ought to be, decisive for their character and achievement. The school and the church will do their part in the training and equipment of young America, but the fathers and mothers are no less responsible for the moral and religious education of their children. . The chief means of parents is their own example. Children follow in the main what they habitually see and hear." There is no question that ignorance, neglect or lack of parental train-
lng is responsible largely for delinquent girls, street corner loafers, bar-
. flies, hoodlums, insulters ot women and poor citizens. gg

WE KNOW HOW IT IS.
The East Chicago fire department the other night during the progress
of the fire which destroyed one corner of the nandsome new Calumet building, was subjected to criticism because Hammond was appealed to for help
In extinguishing the blaze.
Some of the members of the department took the criticism to heart. This paper wishes to assure the department that they need suffer no lacerated feelings on this account. A newspaper, above all Institutions, knows what it is to have every Tom, Dick and Harry try to regulate its affairs, and it soon learns that if its spirit is to be dampened, by what a few cock-sure
knockers have to say, it would have but a sorry time of it. -
There are people in every community who are always on hand to tell
you "how to do it." There' are plenty of people in Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, who know better how to write a newspaper article, than do the editors and reporters who have given the better
part of their lives to the work. This, to say nothing of their superior judg ment, is dictating the policy of a newspaper.
These same Individuals have by the same token, in their own estimation
of it, better judgment regarding the extinguishing of a fire than do sea
soned firemen. Cheer up, fire laddies! You have been criticized for sending for help In putting out a fire that seemed too much for your own force and equipment Think how much more serious the criticism, had you neglected this little precaution, and a fine business block had been laid in ruins as a consequence.

905. The charter of the defendant
city provides that the city council shall
have power to make all necessary and proper contracts for the purpose of lighting its streets for any period not
longer than ten years, and make ap
propriations annually for such purpose.
it was alleged that, acting under this
provision, the city entered into a contract with complainant's company, one
clause of which provided as follows: "It is hereby agreed, intended and understood that a perpetual gas and electric light franchise, with a ten-year exclusive expiring with the contract Is
hereby granted to said City Gas & Electric Light company. In consideration of the contract to be entered into
for said street lights, and in further
consideration that all consumers and patrons of said company shall at no time be charged in excess of the present rates for gas and electricity." Act.
ing under this agreement, complain
ant's company furnished electricity for power as well as light, and attempted
to restrain defendant from allowing
other person the right to use the streets for wires for the purpose of furnishing electricity for light, power or heat. The court held that the nower
to give the exclusive franchise to complainant was not expressly conferred upon the municipality, that it could not be Implied from the charter provisions relating to lighting, and dismissed the bill.
The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
BY RUTH CAMERON. There Is certain astonishingly common little social sin which has three roots one in, Impatience, one in egotism and one in selfishness. I wonder if you can name it from that description. I mean the habit of interrupting. It is really astonishing to me to notice bow many people otherwise : wellbred, are guilty of this offense against tact. I know a dear little hostess, with
charming manners for the most part, who continually embarrasses her guests
at the table by breaking in on what
someone is saying to ask if they do not
wish to be helped to this or that.
Of course she only does this because
she Is anxious for the well being of
her guests, but surely she would not
be in danger of suffering the pangs of hunger if she watted for a lull in the conversation to offer to replenish plates.
Blatant and open interrupting of
what another Is saying by some re
mark of one's own Is, of course, a fault easily recognized and promptly con
demned, but there are some less obvious forms of interrupting that I consider quite as bad offenses.
THE DAY IN CONGRESS
For instance, to interrupt a general conversation on a subject which does not happen to interest on by abruptly turning the trend onto some subject which one does like, seems to me to be quite as bad as to break In when another is speaking-. And then it seems to me that the blank stare of those people, who always think of what they are going to say next while you are talking, deserves to be classed as an interruption. It Is a silent one to be sure, but none the less irritating, as all who have suffered it can testify. 6
Another brend of interrupter is the person who breaks in with a pun or Joke, or something - he has been reminded of, right in the middle of your narrative and shunts you so completely off the track that it is Impossible or at least most awkward to attempt to get back again. If I had begun with my favorite lead, a question and asked, "Do you ever Interrupt" you would doubtless have mentally answered. "Of course not." But now that I've explained all I mean by interrupting perhaps, you won't be quite so positive. How about it?

BREAKFAST FOOD ADVERTISEMENT A LOTTRy? A newspaper containing an advertisement of a contest offering prizes for the best essay on the name of a certain breakfast food was refused carriage in the mails on the ground that the advertisement was one of a lottery. The United States circuit court in Brooklyn Dally Eagle vs. Voorhles, 181 Federal Reporter, 579, holds that whether or not such an advertisement Is a lottery depends upon whether or not the prlre is dependent upon lot or chance. To escape such condemnation, the offer must be made and carried out In good faith, the prize awarded on the merits and the advertisement contain a sufficiently definite statement of what the word "best" means as used therein to advise competitors of the standard of Judging. The postmaster was enjoined from refusing to accept the newspaper If any advertisement therein did not appear on its face to be or did not prove in practice to be a lottery within the limits of this decision.
