It would satisfy the curiosity of a good many people to know why Got. Marshall doesn't stop a few prize fights ON HIS OWN DOORSTEP? We would like to ask Gov. Marshall why he is so keen about bringing Lake county into disrepute? We would like to know WHY HE IS CONTINUALLY JABBING LAKE COUNTY by ordering Sheriff Grant to stop prize fights in Lake county that no one ever intended to pull off? We would like to know what has become of his MUCH-VAUNTED THEORY OF HOME RULE? One of the things that made J. Frank Hanly so detested in this region was his passion to run Lake county by long-distance telephone from the 6tate capital. Former Sheriff Fred Carter's famous "rubber boot" retort to Hanly will never be forgotten. Since Marshall lost Lake county to James E. Watson by several thousand votes HE HAS NEVER LOST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HIS HOSTILITY. So eager was he to cast reflection on its officials that he mad a laughing stock out of himself at one time by wiring Sheriff Grant to stop a prize-fight over in West Hammond, 111. Yesterday Governor Marshall wired Sheriff Grant to stop a prize-fight WHICH NO ONE HAD EVER DREAMED OF EXCEPT A LOT OF CHICAGO BUSYBODIES and intimated presumably, because Grant is a republican, that he didin't know enough to attend to his duties. The night before one prizefighter at Indianapolis KNOCKED ANOTHER UNCONSCIOUS BY A BLOW ON THE JAW. There is no prize-fighting in Lake county, Governor Marshall. There Is, however, in your own capital, at South Bend, Terre Haute, Lafayette and other Indiana cities. Why don't you get busy THERE? Or are you too busy running for president?

THE DAY IN CONGRESS

WATERWAYS, THE PEOPLE'S HERITAGE.

That gallant fighter and conservationist, Editor Henry W. Lee of the Calumet Record, Bpeaking of the fight to save the Calumet harbor, says: "For years Wolf lake has been the great prospective harbor for the city of Hammond. The people there have dreamed about it as we have dreamed of Lake Calumet harbor, and with equal results. "The railroads have for years waged an unceasing and steady warfare against waterway development. They have blocked off almost the entire waterfront of Lake Michigan in Illinois and Indiana. They have choked Wolf lake and cut it in pieces. They have played havoc with the Grand Calumet river beyond Hammond. "If the splendid natural facilities of the Calumet region are to be saved, action must be taken at once. Some of the fixed bridges can be removed, some of the other depredations can be cured, but it must be done at once. The longer the trespassers remain undisturbed, the harder the battle for the people's rights.

-Let us not surrender our waterways witnouia struggle, rney are a

natural heritage. The free waterways, the public streets and the air we breathe are about all that are left. Let us fight to keep them." BRING THE ERIE TO TIME.

A traveling man who passed through Hammond yesterday over the Erie

looked at the depot and said: "I wouldn't care to live in a town that couldn't

force a railroad to put up a better station that that."

It is about time that radical steps were taken to force the Erie railroad

in tnis city to proviue adequate aepot iacuiues. r or neany a quarter or a

century the present depot has done service.

It is one of the old landmarks of the city. It is now entirely inadequate

and a disgrace to the city. The Michigan Central and Nickel Plate railroads

have built fine depots and the Monon has plans for the construction of depot that will outclass them both.

There is positively no reason why the thousands of people who go through Hammond on the four railroads which cut through the heart of the city

should be compelled to take with them unfavorable impressions of the city

because of the old Erie shack which the road calls a depot.

This is a matter that the Hammond Business Men's association should take up at its next meeting, and complaint should be made to the railway

commission of Indiana, aswas done in the case of the Monon.

IT is wonderful how sour some peo

ple get when somebody is a little more

successful than others. -

INSECT sting stopped a Chicago wedding. Better be stung before the

ceremony rather than after. WOMAN got hysterical on a shop

ping trip. Probably found some bargain that wasn't marked $4.99. 44 TIME for the birds of the air to take to the woods when the real bird men get busy in Chicago next month.

4 EUGENE Purtelle seems to be getting away with it quite regularly and finds no obstacles in his path. 44 ACTUALLY trying to make them stop selling near beer ia Lake Calumet! What do you know about that? 44 THE Princess Chimay has wedded again. Wonder how it is that Goodwin and Chimay never got together? MAN, who called Governor Wilson a liar, was perhaps thinking of the old biblical saw that "all men are liars." WHY doesn't Governor Marshall give some of the democratic mayors a jolt? Why does he always single out a republican official? 44 SOME of these 60-horse-power automobiles have in reality about as much power as one horse when they come to a little sand. 44AT this writing Governor Marshall

ana senator Lat'ouette could swap their presidential booms wlthont any

loss on either side.

' 44 THE Joliet Herald pertinently remarks: "What did people talk about before neighbors or mayors were in

vented?" Lord knows.

WHEN the democratic presidential

candidates all start out with their brass bands and boomer, none of us will miss the circuses any more.

police, is now Issuing orders against the torn cat. Oh, poor Chicago! Are there no gun men or bandits to look

The Day in HISTORY

THE NEWSPAPER JUY. see a man strut through the Jam In a hall.

Take a seat 'mid the speakers and chat

with them all. Is this Murphy?" I ask, that the crowd he defies? v

'No," says someone, "he's one of the

newspaper guys."

I see a man pushing his way through

the lines.

Of the cops where a fire brightly glim

mers and shines. Chief Kenlon?" Is ask, but a fireman replies,

"Oh, no, why that's one of those news

paper guys." , see a man start on the trail of a crook

And he scorns all assistance, but brings

him to book, 'Mr. Burns?" I inquired. Some one scornfully cries

"Burns. Kaw. He's Just one of them

newspaper guys."

I see a man knock on a president's

door.

And the sign "No Admittance" com

pletely ignore

"Is this Morgan .that privacy's rights

he denies?" .

"Morgan? Shucks: It's Just one of

those newspaper guys."

And some day I'll walk by the great

streets of gold.

And see a man enter, unquestioned and

bold.

"A saint?" I'll inquire, and old Peter'll

reply, "Well, I should say not, he'a a news paper guy.'V

BRING ON THE BIRD MEN.

There is talk of having an aeroplane meet in Gary some time during

the first part of August.

By all means let it be held. Even though the plans only call for two

contestants we want to see the event.

Aviator Ely has the honor of navigating the first air craft in Lake

county. Last year while sailing from Chicago to New York he got as far

as East Chicago. Either the smoky atmosphere or the political disturbances

in that city interfered with the rropellor, or made the birdman top heavy.

for he came down out of the skies a-tumbling into East Chicago. Many Lake county people banked on seeing Ely skimming across our skies, but

they were doomed to disappointment

Bring on the birdmen. Most of the people .of Lake county have seen

every form of progress illustrated, but flying machines are new to most
