THE CALUMET REGION WANTS $10,000,000. Hammond with a population of 20,000 has BUT $2,500,000 ON DEPOSIT IN ITS BANKS. Gary with a population of 16,000 HAS $2,000,000 ON DEPOSIT, Eaa Chicago with a population of 19,000 HAS ONLY ABOUT $1,500,000 ON DEPOSIT, and Whiting with a population of 5,000 HAS A LITTLE OVER $1,000,000 ON DEPOSIT. The four cities of northern Lake county, with an aggregate population of 60,000 people, have a total sum on deposit in their banks roughly estimated, to be not more than $7,000,000. THE CITY OF LAFAYETTE, WITH ONE-THIRD OF THE POPULATION OF NORTHERN LAKE COUNTY, HAS $15,000,000 ON DEPOSIT IN ITS BANKS. j There is another point that ought to be brought out in the premises of this) argument The city of Lafayette has vast hoards of idle capital and seems to be unable to employ It, while the cities of Hammond, East Chicago and Gary are IN NEED OF ENORMOUS SUMS OF MONEY FOR UPBUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND ARE UNABLE TO GET IT.

A community absorbs a certain amount of capital in its business activ

ities. The difference between what is constantly employed in this manner

and what Is available for use appears on the books of the banks on deposits. It is the community's surplus. - In Hammond, Gary and East Chicago the development is so great, the building activities are so extensive, THE GROWTH OF THE CITIES IS SO

RAPID THAT EVERY AVAILABLE DOLLAR IN THE BANKS ISV CONSTANTLY EMPLOYED. In Lafayette wealth is being accumulated faster

than It is absorbed. j There money may be had for 5 per cent on first class security, while here the rate Is 6 and 6tf per cent and loans go begging. Every building operation of any importance that has been carried on in Hammond for the past two years has been financed by foreign capital. THE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF THE HAMMOND BANKS WAS COMPELLED TO BORROW. $10,000 OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. The director of another bank, who Is rated at a quarter of a million, was refused a loan on excellent collateral. Other Hammond bankers are borrowers. This obtains elsewhere in the region. And it is not because money is "tight" for there is plenty of it in neighboring cities. Crown Point is reputed to have $165,000 loaned on foreign securitiesThe point is that the bankers of Hammond and Gary ought to make some arrangement to supply their customers WITH SOME OF THE CHEAP MONEY THAT IS SO PLENTIFUL IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. It is probably not the province of a national bank to enter Into this kind of business, but the trust companies ought to be able to establish brokerage loan departments by which foreign capital could be made available. Very frequently a trust company is able to establish relations with one of the larger insurance companies by which it Is able to place large loans on gilt edge security. It Is safe to say that building operations in Hammond would be expanded 50 per Cent if the money was available with which to carry them on. Furthermore, Hammond might easily retain its present position as a financial center of the Calumet region, providing its bankers were able to establish connections with insurance companies and money centers of the country that would enable it to finance the building operations of the region. It is safe to say that $10,000,000 could be loaned on safe, legitimate projects in the region if it were available today. CROWN POINT SHOULD VOTE "YES." There are many reasons why Crown Point should vote "yes" on the city proposition next Tuesday and only one why the town should vote "no-" In order to keep in existence the Federated and Antiquated Society of MobsBacks, affiliated with the "Grochers1 Stumbling Block Club," it would be In keeping with their policy to knife the plan, but if the county seat wants to get into the bandwagon of progress, toot the horn of advancement, hold the reins of modernity and join the Anti-Abstacle and Boosters' clubs, every

ruvci ouuum iiiaso a iai, me-sizea cross on the "yes." It let "well enough alone" when it is well enough, but when per cent better, it is time to cut out the personal equation

ber that Crown Point has many sections of land north, south, east and west that to which It can grow and expand. Crown Point should give its lungs ample breathing space lest it pine away from consumption. The city proposition has always been bucked by weak sisters, but a perusal of the atlas in the library will convince Crown Point that thousands made the "fatal mistake" of becoming a city and never had the desire to go back. Vote it a "city" on Tuesday.

AND what Is so rare you know? LOTS of talk of fight, but not so much of loot thank heaven. THE sleighing and skating, however, seems to be very poor for June. LET'S see, isn't the Crown Point municipal election almost due to get busy? WHEN a man amounts to much, some people are always fretting how much? & GOVERNOR Wilson may be the bet ter educated but Gov. Marshall is the foxiesL SUPPOSE you are hitting the old cob pipe now in sympathy with the tobacco trust. COULDN'T Mr. Diaz be used in these parts to work up a revolution against the ice trust?

Three hundred people from Hartford lined the banks of the pit and watched amateur divers search for the bodies, which was recoverd an hour later. Mrs. Eugene linesman and Miss Edith Woolard of Anderson are sisters of the younger victim. Williams is survived by a widow and one child.

NEW DEFINITIONS.

' Now, what Is radicalism By "radical" I understand one who goes too far, by "conservative" one who does not go far enough and by "reactionary" one who won't go at all. Now, It appears that these terms do not cover new conditions, and so we have Invented a new term "progressive." I suppose I must be a progressive, which I take to be onq who insists on recognising new tacts, adjusting policies to facts and circumstances as they arise. Progress cannot be made if your thoughts stop at the present. You can't make progress unless you know where you ultimately wish to be. And to be progressive means that you must plan in a large way and have your heart In big plans. There Is no satisfactory statesmanship in merely patching things that have gone wrong. Woodrow Wilson.
