FARMERS ARE THREATENED. It is gratifying to note the interest that the farmers of Lake county, who live in the border townships adjoining Gary, manifest a great interest in the affairs of the proposed street car line that is to be built from the Calumet river to the southern limits of the city then on to Crown Point. For the time being the traction situation is very badly muddled. Each of the franchise claimants, the Gary & Interurban and the Gary & Southern are fighting for track laying privileges in the courts. Unless something is done toward a settlement they will be fighting all summer and in consequence street car service for this territory will be set back for another year. All of which suggests some kind of settlement between the companies in order that construction operations may be started early this spring. The linking of Gary and Crown Point and the intermediate rural points is going to be a great boon to Lake county. There will be Gary people who will get a chance to move to the outskirts and there will be Ross township farmers who will be enabled to reach Gary for their selling and buying. As for Crown Point It will reap Just as many benefits and it is a shame that these good things are held back because of jealousy between the two lines. There ought to be a compromise and failing in this the suggestion that both contestants retire and permit a third one that means business come into the field.

"THE MERCHANT IS INTERESTED. No on can deny that the Gary Commercial club has not been fair In its investigation. The Commercial club recommended the open- shop building policy because It was thought that it would be for the best Interests of the city. It has been a splendid thing for building in other cities, therefore why should not Gary profit by the open shop? One of the striking features of the daily reports of the Commercial club, which appeared In yesterday's Times, Is the following extract: Mr. Merchant that Investor is the man who is going to make Gary grow according to our opportunities. "vS'tat matters it if there are thousands of factories here if there are no shelters for the men who work in them. Gary's future depends on her homes, her homes depend on her Investors and her investors depend on industrial conditions. Therefore you, Mr. Merchant, who are dependent cn the Investor, are dependent on those same industrial conditions. The right kind of conditions In the industrial field in Gary mean everythng in the world to you. They mean more to you than to any other resident of this community. To many of you they mean , .the Idifference between success and failifte. With the unexplained 'prosperity the open shop will bring into Gary, your business will undergo the greatest boom and the most rapid expansion In the histcirjr of the business world. There' is plenty of digestible food for careful thought in this extract by those who are opposing the building "open shop" policy. The time has come to take a stand and the merchant of Gary is more vitally interested than any one else.

MAKE THE STREETS SAFE FOR WOMEN. .This paper wishes to sound the praise of the young girl who was brave enough to appear as prosecuting witness in a Hammond court against the cowardly young hoodlum who insulted her the other day in a public place, at the same time making threats against her. No words of commendation can be too strong for her act. It is only In such cases that the law can deal out justice to such scoundrels. It Is an outrage that in order to secure a breaking up of such practices as are notorious on Hammond's streets, a lady must come into court to give testimony. This paper trusts that where women" are insulted by hoodlums and loafers, they will not be afraid to appear in court. It promises them Immunity from publicity if they desire it as far as it is concerned. In the south land these insults would not have to be taken Into court. There are men there who would string insulters of women with a rope and not temporize about it either. Hammond streets must be made safe for women and girlsi The practice of making Invidious and fresh remarks at them as they pass down the streets must stop. The newspapers of this city are determined that it must stop. They are determined that the streets must be made safe for women the sooner the better. There Is a way, to stop It and no further admonition or warning ought to be necessary. One member of the notorious "Pittsburg" gang has been fined, another is in Jail and another Is a fugitive from justice. In passing a word of highest praise for Judge Barnett is necessary. In words that admit of no quibbling and subterfuge he has made it plain that he is going to see that the women of Hammond are protected. All honor to Judge Fred Barnett.

WE DON'T CARE much about burglars breaking into the Tolleston postoffice as long as they don't carry away the obliging postmistress.

RANDOM THINGS G FLINGS

WHOM the gods destroy, they first send to the Indiana legislature. -BETTER to be an Insurgent than a man who does nothing at all. A YOU don't have to take dancing lessons to become an expert sidestepper. SOME folk talk more sensibly in their sleep than they do when they are awake. IF Pittsburg has many gangs like the Pittsburg gang in Hammond, no wonder it is- decadent. e . APROPOS of absolutely nothing to fuss about is Mrs. W. E. Corey's go ing back on the stage. . TIME of the .year has arrived when it is necessary to boil, stew, fry and , ff . IF you have Dorothy Arnold anywhere about your clothes, please report as soon as possible. WE refuse to become excited over the news that a robin red breast is camping in Harrison park. COMMISSION form of government will never be brought Into good usage by a democratic legislature. SCHOOL children are going to keep the streets of South Bend clean this summer. Scheme of a visionary. ' PITTSBURG is now to have a graft inquiry. Oh very well. The more the merrier. Let's get it over with. WAS Turnkey Herman quite sure It was a steel saw in that, sausage? Might it not have ben a piece of dog collar? QUEER how easy it is to establish an alibi in some cases hereabouts. That's not the way to stop the trouble, gentlemen. MAIN trouble with some business men is that they want a guarantee of two dollars for one and the original dollar back. ' ' IF you can't get it in the papers give it out at some woman's club. The end will be the same and publicity will be yours. , WHEN you ask an editor to sup press a legitimate piece of news you are asking him to rob himself of his bread and butter. HAVEN'T time to worry about the anti-trust suits. Bothering now how to make last year's winter suit hold out until May 1st. e WIDOW recently wed her dead hus band's brother and it develops that she did so in order to escape having two mothers-in-law. IF there are to continue thirteen congressmen in Indiana it is going to be unlucky for one of them anyway. Who is the thirteenth? MAN in New Jersey handed suffragettes a stunning blow. He married and then deliberately went on his honeymoon alone. "DOG-FACE and Bostovich had managed to keep out of the public prints for nearly two months. We thought it was a long tlnie. r tC A SALOON was robbed in Calumet township the other day and the license was stolen.

Same thing every smoker does, however. It is only a question of speed. "IT doesn't require any temperament to be a model," says an artist. It doesn't require much of anything according to experts, especially clothes. CHESTERTON people presented Miss Lillian Rapp with a purse of ten dollars. Miss Rapp is one of the contestants in the spelling contest at Monticello. The Lake county spellers do not care a r however. AN Indiana man has been ordered by the court not to call on his wife unless he receives a written invitation. Sometimes courts seem to be without sentiment. The poor fellow can't take his socks home to have them darned Toledo Blade. Perhaps the court didn't wear socks.

Recent Legal Decisions RECENE LEGAL DECISIONS W CONSTRUCTION OF GERMAN MARRIAGE Law. A St. Paul inn.) doctor and a nurse left secretly for New York and sailed to Germany, where they were married by a man who, while believed to be a minister of the gospel, proved to be a person not authorised by the law of Germany to celebrate a marriage. Thereafter and up to the time of the death of the doctor, some months later, they lived and cohabited as husband and wife. The decisive question is whether the parties were married in accordance with the German law, which by stipulation is: "The contradiction of a marriage, even if only one of the parties is a German, Is determined in respect of each of the parties by the laws of the country of which he or she is a subject. The same rule applies to an alien who concludes a marriage within the empire. The form of a marriage which is concluded within the empire is determined exclusively by German law." The supreme court of Minnesota in re Lando's estate, 127 Northwestern Reporter, 1135, holds that under the natural and literal construction of the first and second sentences of the German law, the doctor and nurse were "aliens who had concluded a marriage within the empire;' that such marriage was de-
