THE CALUMET UNITED RAILWAYS. This paper believes that the entrance of the Calumet United railways into the city of Gary will be hailed with satisfaction by the business men of the Steel City. The board of public works showed wisdom la taking prompt action on the grant and sending It to the council. The details of tho Geist traction scheme show a comprehensive franchise plan for Gary, Involving all the principal streets save Broadway, giving the city a street car system that is wide in its scope and one of which will be of great benefit to the community. The operation of cars on the big loop will do more for the development of the outlying district than anything else and real estate values will boom as a result. By the terms of the Geist franchise, street cars will be In operation on all the streets within three years. We believe that Mr. Geist will do exactly what he promises. The company is capitalized at $5,000,000, and with the vast money interests behind the company there is no doubt as to its ability to do things. -Not only will the line be of great benefit to Gary, but to other cities as well, in that it will connect other lines which are to be built in Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, Chesterton and MiUer.

JOHNSON STREET AND THE BUSINESS DISTRICT. In no city in theJ country is the business district so confined as it is in

Hammond. It extends from the bridge a quarter of a mile, and from Morton

nue, less than a quarter of a mile. ' On Hohman street the best locations are valued at $1,000 a front foot,

On State street the best locations are the limits described above realty values of those limits property may be had years ago.

It is safe to say that the business district will not be extended any farther east on State street for the reason that there are no intersecting

streets of importance between Oakley ; street was the logical intermediate

night, while the people slept, the council vacated Sohl street In order, to

permit of the building of the Erie that has done Hammond more harm

sibility of extending this street southward to Highland Btreet and Conkey avenue. The corners of Sohl and State streets would today be a live business center were it not for the betrayal of the people's interests by the council ' which permitted the vacation of Sohl street. But the point of this argument is this: The very fact that Hohman street frontage Is valued at $1,000 a front foot, while other property, just as advantageously located, is worth less than half of that price indicates that there is some invisible restriction to the expansion of streets devoted to business purposes. The center of population of Hammond is at the corner cf Sohl and State streets. That is the logical location of the business district. At least it should expand in that direction. But such expansion may be regarded as highly improbable unless there is the attraction of the cross currents of traffic such as would be created by the extension of the converging of Sohl street and Oakley avenue to Johnson street on the north side. And what about Johnson street? It will become the principal north and south street by which the north side will be connected with the south side. Its development as a business street is assured.

THE SAME OLD EXPERIENCE. South Bend has secured the services of Prof. Charles ZuebHn to come over the conduct a civic revival. From the standpoint of experience Fort Wayne can assure her neighbor that the meetings at least will have the virtue of being interesting. The mourners' bench will be crowded daily, while the happy shouts, hosannas and aniens of the gloriously saved will rock the temple from turret to foundation stone. But when the revivalist leaves for other fields that are white unto the harvest there will be backsliders in South , Bend oodles of 'em. Fort Wayne News. As was Fort Wayne's experience, and will be South Bend's, so was Hammond's; or any other place where lucre-hunting and sensational-mongering revivalists came. When a preacher comes to this city to conduct a revival and announces that all he wants out of it is fair compensation, and when he doesn't seek notoriety, then we shall have faith in sensational evangelism. When Jeaus Christ preached the gospel, he did not preach it for the money there was to be got out of his converts. 1

Laporte, Ind., May 1. Snow is falling here tonight and a blizzard is raging. The fruit crop will be a. complete failure. It will be difficult to estimate the loss. Dispatch in morning papers. Isn't it a shame that LaRorte should always get it hotter or colder than any other place. Just think of it, and this morning while the rest of the state is warm and sunshiny, Laporte is buried in snow and millions of dollars worth of damage done to the peach crop. Honestly it's awful.

R A ND O M THINGS & FLINGS

HAVB you anything you want on the free list? GET ready to join the fly-swatter's brigade! THE Twin City spirit is certainly hot tomales. ta FOR the real fan the sport is in the game, not the score. HAS the office boy gone to grand mother's funeral yet? FAIL to see why Senator Kern has always to be going off half-cocked. CONGRESSMAN Sulzer blew a, lit tle Seltzer over the Mexican affair. IT is still safe to buy a raincoat and an umbrella even though it be May. . ee IT is just as proper to prevent a thing rather than cure it as it even was. YOU have perhaps noticed that the less a man is, the more noise he can make. IS that new female chief of police In Kansas going to keep on her helmet with a hat pin? WHAT has become of the old fash ioned umbrella jmender and the O. F. scissors-grinder ? AN exchange wants to know where the harem skirt will end on the floor or on the ground. Sff "MONEY," says a financial writer, "is distressingly easy." Easy to what? To get or to spend? C YOU may have a "pull" and It may land you there, but you'll have to be strong enough to stay. DON'T fail to see thesplendid exhibits that Hammond and Gary have at the big realty show in Chicago. AS an exchange tersely puts it, 'Hang up the fiddle and the bow, take down the shovel and the hoe and get busy." "TAMMANY is O. K. at times." says the Delano Eagle. Sure, it Is all right when it is caged up in East Four teenth street e YOU can bank on it that Mr. Bryan is not losing prestige enough to make the subscribers to the Commoner grow any fewer THE county commissioners have an Idea that the Gary saloonmen at least are the most persistent beings on top of the footstool. JUST laugh at the grouch of the calamity howler. A country with the farms and farmers we have never needs to be grouchy. er F hubby doesn't get home prompt ly at five, remember that he is probably waiting in front of the score board for the deciding run. SEE by the papers that President Taft "expects to dismiss Indiana pat ronage from his mind until next win ter." "Expects to" is good BOSTON man, aged 102 years, has been found drunk on the streets. So mony promising young . careers are being spoiled by drink, eh? WOMAN wants divorce in Harrisburg because husband persists In using paregoric. Perhaps she called him "baby" and drove him to it. INDIANAPOLIS girl has been fined for ridiculing another girl's hat in pub He. The story is very much incomplete, however, without a picture of the hat - THE great trouble with a pretty stenographer is that she has to promenade all "around the other offices in the building to show herself off before she can get to work in the morning. tt t "THINK well of the town you live in, speak in its favor, patronize its merchants, encourage its industries see all that is beautiful in it, chant praises to the good it possesses, sing of its improvements, stick to it," says a contemporary. RICHARD Croker says. "I love Am erica, but I would rather live in Ire land on one pound a week than in America on five pounds." As far as can be Jearned, however, as long as Croker is satisfied no one is going to shed any tars over here because he prefers Ireland Yes, that's the sort of secular scrip ture that counts.

Hamilton, one of the most prominent among- American aviators, was born n New Britain, Conn., May 2, 1881. He became interested in aero nautics about the time he became of age and soon afterward he made several towed flights on Israel Ludlow's mancarring- kite aeroplanes. Then he became well known as an operator of th small American dirigible, baloon. He gave exhibitions In Japan and on th same day Bleriot crossed the English Channel the Aerican aviator crossed tha Bay ot Osaki. Upon his return to America Mr. Hamilton turned his attention to the aeroplane and was soon making record flights on the Curtiss machine Exhibitions at various placej in the West were followed by his aeroplane flight from New York to Philadelphia, which was the crowning feat of his career, and up to that time the most remarkable flight In the history of aviation. Heart toHeart Talks. By EDWIN A. WYE. MILLSTONES ABOUT TEE NECK. Last month Jewels to the value ot $130,000 belonging to a New York wo man were lost or stolen. Which points a moral. Doubtless you have seen an Indian woman decked in her trinkets of wampum and brass, gewgaws believed to add to the personal charms of Lo, the poor squaw. Her civilized sister prinks herself out in costly gems with a like purpose. Both follow the brute creation Bave In this: Among the animals it Is the male who seeks to impress the female with his personal charms. However ' -! The women are not so much to be blamed. No writer has better brought out the foibles of the newly rich in this respect than David Graham Phillips, the late author. He brings out the fact that The costly baubles worn by the women of this set are largely for the purpose of making known the financial ability of their male supporters. This is how they advertise: Rather than pay a sandwich man to parade the streets he that wants it known he Is rich loads his wife with blazing gems. Society, seeing the money value thus displayed, is apprised that there goes the wife of a millionaire. Well, you say, one has a right to do as he will with bis own. He has not. Ethically no woman has the right in a city where thousands live on the verge of starvation to go about uselessly adorned with a hundred and thirty thousand dollars' worth of Idle wealth. Morally she has no right. Morally, I say, no woman has the right in a place where thousands of Uttle children go breakfastless to school to go gadding about gilded with a fortune of unproductive wealth wealth that has cost somebody's toil and sweat and blood. Moreover Since the time of Blackstone lawyers have debated the legal side of the question whether one has the right to do as he chooses with, his own, but In a Christian sense She who. fall banded, withholds the cup of water from "the least of these" hangs not gems, bat a millstone, about her neck. THE DAY IN CONGRESS SEX ATE. Borah's resolution for direct election of senators, favorably reported by judiciary committee, likely to pass. Stone spoke in favor of reciprocity. La Follette resolution for investigation of Lorimer election referred to committee on audit and controf of con tingent expenses. Chairman Brlggs of this committee Is a lorimer supporter. HOVSB Debate on free list resumed. Rucker of Colorado said he voted against reciprocity because he believed the western stock growers would be injured by the measure. Madden of Illinois declared he believed reciprocity to be a step toward annexation and that he voted for It on that account. ... ARE YOU REAJIXG THE TIMES!

While fishing in Eel River, near Liberty M'ills, Willla Schaff found a bundle of papers which were taken from the safe In the North Manchester postofflce when it was robbed last summer. Walking by a brush pile Schaff's attention was attracted by noticing a letter opener which lay upon the ground. Further investigation was made and a pile of papers was found which have been identified as one taken from the safe by men who blew the strong box and seured a sum of money and a large amount of stamps. Among the docu ments were several promissory notes, mail orders and the will made out by Postmaster Lautrenhiser. The robbers had doubtless stoppd in the secluded spot long enough to sort out the papers and discard the ones of no value. BACK BROKEN IN FALL DIES. After novering bptwen life and death since March 4, when he fel from a building under construction at Beenca Grove, near ' Indianapolis, Leonard Troughton, a structural Iron worker from ' Cleveland. O., died at the City Hospital at 1:15 yesterday afternoon. His back was broken by the fall. Every effort was made to save Troughten's life and Saturday he underwent a delicate operation. A sister. Miss Mary Troughton, of Cleveland, O.. and a brother. John Troughton, of Chicago, were at his bedside. They will take th body to Cleveland for burial. FEAR RELATIVE IN JAIL. Relatives of Roy Crandall, 18 years old, who disappeared from Wabash some time ago, and was thought ta have been drowned in Lake Winona, now believe he is the Frank Crandall, the youth in the Norwalk (O.) Jail, charged with the murder of Harry Noble, chief Nickel Plate detetclve, of Bellevue, O. AGED MAN GOES TO POOR HOUSE. "Over the Hills to the Poor House," hummed John Burtwell, a former slave, 101 years old, as he was being taken from his home in Westfield to the county asylum. He had been a barber until his health failed him. His mother died a few years agro at the age of 125 and after that Burtwell lived alone until his house was destroyed by fire a few weeks ago and since then he has bad to depend upon charity. Burtwell, while a slave, was a cook on a Mississippi river boat. One day the boat touched at an Indiana port and Burtwtll escaped. He made his way to Westfield, which was on the famous "underground railroad" and was given shelter by Quakers in that vicinity. He has lived here since then, more than 70 years ago. DRIVER HITS GIRL ESCAPES. Enraged citizens who saw a buggy run down Miss Nellie Coleman. 320 North Capitol avenue, Indianapolis, yesterday afternoon, ran through the streets for more than six squares shouting vengeance at the fleeing driver. He drove from the scene of the accident as quickly as possible without offering assistance to the young woman. Miss Coleman, although not seriously injured, fainted in the street when the horse ran over her body. Several men rushed to her assistance. Others started in pursuit of the buggy. Patrolmen were given orders last night to arrest, if possible, the driver of the buggy, and more than a score of persons called at police headquarters offering to appear In police court against him. ILL HEALTH COMMITS SUICIDE. Roy Richardson, 25 years old. of Franklin, committed suicide by shooting himself through the temples. Richardson had been in poor health for some time, and it is thought despondency was the cause. He was the son of Felix Richardson of this city. v, BOWED LEGS BAR MAX FROM ARMY Legs, warped by constantly fitting a saddle, prevented the enlistment in the United States army of Daniel Cassidy, a former cowboy, who applied at Evansville. Cassidy has been with a circus and, tiring of that, sought excitement in the army, but because of his bow legs he could .not be used. HAS NARROW ESCAPE. Earl Sample, law partner of U. S.

Editor Times: What do you mean by "Good Character?" The saloon long ago has been Judged an outlaw. How can a man cause his brother to violate every rule of the moral, spiritual, and ethical code, and bo of "good character!" Behind the divorce judge Is liq,uor which broke up the home; behind ' tha police judge is liquor that made a sot of the wreck before the bar; behind the house of tho harlot is the liquor that pays the dividends; behind the business failures is liquor that started the poor devil down the incline; behind the railroad wrecks Is whisky that turned the wrong switch. Behind 85 per cent of the sorrow, trouble and tears is liquor with Its deadly smile, content. I am not concerned about Miss Reel in Chicago, they will look after her, but I am concerned that you should say her conclusions are true, and she Is right, when you know the history of saloonism, for which nothing can be Justly urged In defense. Very truly yours, NEISON H. TRIMBLE. Minister, Central Church of Christ, Gary. WANT AD LOCATION. Merchants place great stress em the importance of loeatlon.
