TONY ALFAON Words fall in seeking an expression
committed by some one who deserves being thrown alive into burning oil, on the person of an INOFFENSIVE WORKING MAN in the Indiana Harbor
round-house last Sunday night. The victim, an industrious hard-working man, with a wife and two little children to support, about his daily toil, wasset upon and his poor sweating body- SATURATED IN BURNING LIQUID. His suffering was heart rending, his eyes were blinded. The cruel fluid ate into his quivering flesh. If you have ever been burned with a drop of acid you know how keen the agony. Well, imagine your body covered with it! WHAT HAD THIS WORKING MAN DONE TO B SUBJECTED TO SUCH HELLISH TREATMENT? Nothing. Stay! Yes he had done something. He had chosen to earn his daily livelihood by the sweat of his brow. HE HAD CHOSEN TO SUPPORT HIS WIFE AND TWO LITTLE CHILDREN INSTEAD OF LOAFING ON THE STREET HANGING AROUND SALOONS, LIVING OFF OTHER WOMEN, RUINING LITTLE GIRLS, CARRYING A SET OF BRASS "KNUCKLES," A BUNDLE OF SHOT SEWED IN LEATHER OR A GUN! He had refused to become a dynamitard. He declined to destroy property, to do hl3 past to inaugurate civil war. He paid his taxes, sent his little ones to school and was a good law-abiding citizen, striving to become a possessor of a little home he could call his own. That's what he had done. And for this he may likely die a martyr. A MARTYR TO WHAT? Answer the question yourself. IS this a free country? ANSWER THAT TOOl CASTLEMAN'S NEW BANKRUPTCY SCHEME.

Isow is the time for Gary to get its parks. But it's not the time for the people to let gangsters of the Castleman type wreck the city's finances. To
all intents and purposes Castleman's in a $327,000 real estate deal. t
If the city dumps all of its money into the Miller dunes there will be none left for other parts. What advantage will the people of Tolleston, the south end, or Ridge road get out of a single park eight or ten miles from them? Will the Ridge roaders or second subdivision residents care to make a twenty-mile round trip to get to Gary's only public park? There is but one logical solution of the park question. It might include a fifty-acre park on Miller beach. Yet Gary will benefit much more if the main park is located at some point where land is but $200 or thereabouts an acre. Sites at this price can be secured in beautiful East Gary or In the west Ridge road district overlooking the city. Smaller parks should also be located in the south end, Tolleston and the second subdivision. Bring the parks to the people's door and let there be enough of them. But one single park miles away which will take every cent available for its purchase let alone its improvement, will never benefit the people of Gary. This question is a serious one and every taxpayer ought to give It his consideration.' " ' , v- ' 1

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE HIS DREAM. The boy dreamed. . And as he dreamed his face was lighted by the light that never was on land or sea the light that never throws it shadow. . When he awoke his face was stained with tears, and he cried out from a heart that was sorely vexed: "My dream! I have lost my pretty dream!" What had he dreamed? Why, he bad dreamed of the grownup world, and to him It looked like a glittering pageant seen through the ever shifting kaleidoscope of bis boyish vision. And there were mirages lifting many a fronded palm and turreted castles of fancy. In the land of the grownups he bad shared in the toils of men and had won success and fame and a fair lady, and When he awoke it is not strange that be should have sobbed and cried "I want my dream!" And the years came and swiftly slid away, what or the boyish dream 7 Why, many of the mirages were dlssolved and the castles fallen to the ground, and the rivers of fancy had almost lost their runnels In life's desert places. But some of the dreams came true. He won the things he longed for, and he saw the glittering pageantry of life. and he won the fair lady and all that most he wanted. And even more than he dreamed he bad the plaudits of the crowd and honored place. And yet! Years afterward he dreamed again. and again the shadowless light lin gered on his face as be slept. And the watchers by "bis bedside saw the boy ish smile. And they wondered why. But when the man awoke he sobbed as if his heart would break and said: "Mr dream! I want my dream!" Wbat was the dream? Was it of the castles fair and the passing pageants and the plaudits and the victories of a day? No! It was the dream of a purling brook and the song of a meadow lark and of a trundle bed under the eaves and over it bending sweet a mother's face.
