TRACTION CONSOLIDATIONS NOT WANTED.

The Calumet region is not yet ready for a consolidation of its traction

lines. There are. 'of course, advantages In consolidation, both to the com'

pany and to the public The public usually has a longer ride for its nickel

and the consolidated company is usually able to prevent disastrous compe

tition. The fact should also be remembered that the company is also able

to prevent healthy and necessary competition.

At the present time the Gary & Interurban line would encourage the

building of a line that would compete with the Hammond, Whiting & East

Chicago line for the reason that It would provide it with a better feeder.

The Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line might encourage the building

of a Crown Point, to Gary to Hammond line for the reason that it would

offer competition to tne (iary &. interurban ana would provide It with a

feeder

But if the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line and the Gary & Interurban line were consolidated and operated under one management, necessary expansions, improvements and the purchase of rolling stock would be delayed until the consolidated companies got good and ready to spend the

necessary money.

THE TIMES is glad that the reported consolidation of the two principal

- years, when both of these systems have ceased to reach out for every little

advantage; when each system has reached the final stages of their development, then consolidation will be desirable from the point of view of the public. Chicago waited a quarter of a century for consolidation and in that

time the competition of the urban traction lines did wonders for the city.

get off a car before her, so mm. .ju may help her off. Never clean your nails or pick your teeth In the presence of your Intimate friends any more than you would in public. It is Just as unpleasant to them to have to see you as to the genera! public, and surely you owe them as much consideration. (Will the people who think that warning is not needed any way please watch and see how many really decent looking men they see offending that way.) Always rise when a woman enters the room where you are calling and remain standing until she is seated. In the theater, if an usher helps you find the seat, let the lady percede you Otherwise you precede her. Don't sit in a street car with your feet stretched out In front of you where people will be apt to tumble over them. That Is selfish-and dangerous, as well as Ill-bred. At the table always remain standing

j behind your chair until your hostess

is seated. I think It Is a charming bit

TOO MUCH FOR CASTLEMAN TO HANDLE.

It was thought by many that the common council of Gary might fall for

Alderman Castleman's $350,000 park-dream and place on final passage last

night the ordinance which authorizes the city to borrow that amount by

issuing a four per cent issue. But the aldermen side-stepped the measure

for the time being.

This proposed bond issue is one of the most important problems con

fronting Gary today. The question is whether the people's money is to be poured out in an extravagant manner by Alderman Castleman in order that some real estate men may sell dune land at $1,250 per acre, or whether a park

is to be secured at honest prices. There is also a suspicious odor about the "concessions' that Castleman is talking Bbout and the pernicious activ

ity of some brewery men brings suggestions of road houses and beer gar

dens. Because of this the Gary park scheme has already begun to be re

garded with suspicion and the crow-bar movements to get at the public

strong box give ample ground for the tax payers to be on the alert.

A lake front park Isvto be regarded with favor, but paying $1,250 an acre for land that some of the owners recently swore was worth but $250, and which has been lately offered at $600, does not look good. To be short

about it somebody's work is too "raw" and if the people of, Gary stand for

the park grab it is their own fault. A PREVALENT IRRITANT.

The exorbitant prices charged by the ice trust in Hammond still con

tinues as tne most prevalent irritant In tne community, and if the trust figured that time will deaden the sensitiveness of the consumers, It is mis

taken judging from the expressed sentiment.

It is understood that the saloonkeepers are still working on plans where

by they can get ice from an independent source, and one saloonkeeper stated

this morning, that if the association did not take action, he would personally

try to arrange to get artificially made ice from another source other than a-Hammond. If they can they will have won a big victory. One Hammond

" man, in another column, suggests a municipal ice plant for the city.

THE MANIA FOR MAKING TROUBLE.

The insane pursuit of business and political investigations, the feverish

desire to wallow around In mud and slosh it around on everybody who hap

pens in the vicinity, is doing this country no good. There will be no peace

until there is cessation 6f muck-raking, started by the 10-cent magazines

with waning circulations. It will be idle to look for returning confidence

until this prevalent ' unrest stops. . There is not much change apparently

that it will stop for some time. Every democrat in congress seems to be imbued with a mania for stirring up some sort of a costly investigation,

whose cost comes out of Lncle Sams flattening purse. In view of theBe con

ditions it is somewhat of a task for newspapers to preach optimism and

the gospel of Business cneer ana Keep irom discouraging the people. Where it will all end nbody is brave enough to predict, but they can do some

mighty deep thinking.

THE UPGOING OF HUMANS. The world Is growing better. Hare you seen a glacier? If so you

have wondered at Its monstrous grinding power because you cannot see that It moves. But It does move. If tou

could put up some sort of a mark and come back later on you would be convinced.

So Is the progress of humanity slow,

but sure.

Look over Its track. A lew centuries ago a majority of

the men and women were slaves to a horde of petty tyrants. Now, save In some out of the way world corner, the crack of the slave driver's whip is never heard.

In the middle ages epidemics swept

over Europe, destroying half the populations of communities. Now you seldom hear of the plague.

Once men and women were tortured

and burned and hanged for religion's sake. Now. even In Turkey, there is

tolerance and religious liberty.

Drunkenness? A hundred years ago the liquor habit

was common among the best people.

When the minister called the decanter

was always on the sideboard.

Nowadays it la a disgrace to be

drunken, and besottedness is largely confined to a low type of humans-

Trusts? Greedy, criminal, they are less in

their ruthless tyranny than the feudal

lords who held the power of life and

death over men and women.

And note philanthropy.

A hundred years ago the insane were

chained like beasts In a cell, and prls

ons were veritable hells of torture.

Philanthropy Is the product of the

last hundred years.

And. so you see. when you look back

You cannot stop the glacier with
