The goose that laid the golden egg has been killed and the police of Hammond will permit no more boxing matches. Some time ago, this paper warned the promoters of the H. A. A. that if the bouts were staged and managed by Lake county people and supported by Lake county people all would be well, but that Just as soon as the riffraff of Chicago's underworld was allowed to cross the Btate line. Just that soon the game would be stopped. If THE TIMES ever made a prophecy that came true, this one did. The police, after viewing the motley bunch that hurried across the state line on Thursday night and their work, put the ban on the game lnstanter. There are plenty of people in the Calumet region who like boxing contests. They were patronizing the exhibitions hundred of them but no the H. A. A. was not satisfied. It sought support in Chicago. We congratulate the authorities for refusing to stand for Chicago's scum of crooks, pickpockets, glim-nippers, barflies, pug touts, strong arm men and fallen women. Hammond doesn't want them.

COUNCIL NEEDS A

For the second time the suspicion has been aroused in the public mind that the actions of several councilmen have been influenced by graft. Nearly a year ago Attorney F. J. Lewis Meyer made the statement that it was impossible for his company to secure a franchise in Hammond unless certain councilmen were seen. Under those circumstances he declared that the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Railway company would abandon its project to run Its main line down Indiana avenue and Hammond lost the best interurban opportunity it ever had. A little later two of the councilmen were mixed up in a very questionable Mining enterprise which was nipped in the bud by THE TIMES publicity. Now two of the candidates for membership of the school board, two citizens of unqestioned veracity, openly charge that they were approached with the proposition to put up from $300 to $500 in return for their election. Neither of these citizens would deal with grafters and bo at least two hon

est citizens were excluded from the school board; disqualified for the reason

that they would not deal with crooks.

It would be unjust to infer that because A. S. Stanton was finally elected that he was "put over" with the knowledge that the motives of those who advanced his candidacy were ulterior. In fact, Mr. Stanton is the aggrieved party and ought to call for a searching councilmanic or grand jury investigation to clear himself of any connection with the alleged grafters who approached the other candidates. It is Mr. Stanton's duty to himself that he take this action. Furthermore, It is his duty as a citizen. He can ill afford to enter upon the duties of his office with even the slightest suspicion in the public mind that "influences" were brought to bear to secure his election. If there Is graft in the city council, as many good citizens suspect, it is high time that some action be taken to put a stop to that sort of work. It has been years since the stigma of a graft charge has been directed to a Hammond council and the people of Hammond are in an ugly humor over it. It is time for a house-cleaning.

WONDERFUL PROGRESS MADE. People living outside of Gary and many of those living within the city walls little realize the great amount of Improvement work going on in Gary at present. There is no city in Indiana of even twice Gary's size where there is more building In progress than there is in Gary. The American Bridge company's houses on the west side are going up in a rapid manner and with the sewer, street and sidewalk construction now on the way, it is estimated that fully 1,000 men are now employed.

The houses for the American Sheet and Tinplate company will be going ahead with a rush within a few days. The first house is nearly completed and the contractors are ready to start on others. Then comos the big sewer

, contract for Tolleston and the miles The Froebel school contract on the four churches now under construction, dences and business property in Gary

And yet outside investors are inclined to look upon Gary with a tilted nose. If they could only come to Gary now, take a trip over the entire city and see what is being done towards the building of the city, all doubt would be dispelled from their mind. To see is to believe, and Gary has these many

things of wonder to view. -

THE new ruler of Mexico is called the provisional president. No relation of Mr. Taft. MR.

These certainly are hard times. UNDERSTAND that General Madero is all of five feet four in height. We welcome Maddy to the Runt society. : MR. E.' H. Gary is getting more advertising at present than any other man in the world and is paying abso lutely nothing for it. NEW York youth shot himself in a saloon because his prayer for help was unanswered. How the fallen angels must have tittered.

Some relief Is needed In hot weather, but thank heav en we don't have to read them. SOME of these fellows who are chat tering about the tariff all the time, should get the tariff down where the common people can look at it.
