The people of the Ridge road district of. Gary cannot be blamed If they have reached the stage where they would tear up the tracks of the Gary, & Southern railway. Halleck H. Seaman, promoter of the line, ha3 failed to deliver the goods for had he done so the trans-Calumet part of Gary would have had cars long ago. Progress of the wohle district is being blocked by the lack of good transportation facilities. Now the citizens have reached a high state of Indignation and would rip out rails, ties and all. Yet this will not accomplish anything. A better way would be to try to secure the service of the Gary & Interurban. Its cars now operate to Calumet bridge. Why not let the company across the river? This is the quickest solution of the south-end traction tangle. There is no use waiting for Promoter Seaman. Some of these days, when we of this generation are hobbling around on canes and babies unborn are marrying and giving in marriage, Seaman will still be promising to give Interurban service to Crown Point. , Don't wait for Seaman.

FAKE REAL ESTATE SCHEMES. A fake scheme always bears the unmistakle evidences of fraud if a person has the perspicacity to discover them. The Lena Park real estate bubbje Is an example. ' About two years ago a number of conscienceless promoters determined to dispose of some property which they held In Starke county. The land was absolutely valueless excepting for farming purposes and it was ridiculouse to even think of locating a townsite there. But these promoters had the property subdivided and proceeded to place the land on the market. Excursions were run to Lena Park and hundreds of poor people were victimized. Chicago and the Calumet region were flooded with . literature on the subject ot Lena Park as an investment and the usual number of suckers were found. The promoters declared that the Central Cut Flass factory had located In the town and would eventually employ hundreds of people. The factory did locate, but last week it moved away to Saginaw, Mich., on account of unsatisfactory labor conditions at Lena Park. The result is that the hundreds of people who bought lots in Lena Park are now holding the bag and will soon awaken to the fact. It was the methods that were adopted by the promoters of this scheme that stamped it as a fake. The cost of selling a worthless thing for a big price Is considerable. Special trains were run to Lena Park, tons of literature were distributed, agents were employed everywhere and still there was not enough merit to the project to attract even passing attention. The small investor should always look behind the claims that are made for certain property and into the records and character of the men who are making the sale. Then there should be something tangible about the project. The harm that Is done by a project like that at Lena Park is hard

to estimate. It makes skeptics of putting their money In legitimate real

WANTON PROPERTY DESTROYERS. A few days ago a Hammond man was arrested and fined for throwing beer bottles in the street to trap unwary autoists and it would be a pleasure

to chronicle more arrests of such crimes. It Is an outrage that the streets

should be paved with barb wire, broken glass, tacks, nails fastened in wood etc., to destroy auto tires. No man who owns a machine is there who can not tell some tale of the fiendish ingenuity shown by destructive and ma

ucious persons wno lane a criminal exchange says: "Owners of automobiles, bicycles

complaining of the broken glass nuisance. Careless persons, regardless of

the right of others and unmindful of

guilt is fixed, violate the law by throwing bottles and broken glass upon the

city thoroughfares. As a result rubber tires are badly damaged and in some cases completely ruined.

"Of course, not all glass found on the streets is there a a result of carelessness. An accident" is occasionally responsible and again anti-auto-

LENA park seems to have made the quickest exist on record R. U. E. Curtain. Every little bit up here helps, you know, to beat out Indianapolis one day. OH leave It to Mr. LaFollette to get his little bit of advertising out of It. AND there's the French Lick resort of your friend Tom Taggart, governor. What about it? IF Pinchot says he isn't satisfied with President Taft's school boy message, well, what matters it? TOO many babies are dying in the north part of Lake county. It almost looks like wholesale murder. C : SOME men never express an opin ion unless their wives have said some thing to them on the matter. SHOULD think that some of these oung women with mouse-colored hair would get tired of wearing rats. GOVERNOR Marshall might also trite a few democratic mayors up this vay about Sunday law violations. AMONG the most popular drown ings of the season would be the drowning of the voice of the calamity howler. LAKE county farmers are so busy making bay and other things that they haven't had time to even think about reciprocity. NEW Jersey parrot is eighty years old. Like to hear from it whether chewing tobacco or drinking rum ever hurt it? - IF you want a vacation, now's the time to begin figuring out how you are going to stand off the coal man this year. - SALT Creek Township, Indiana, has the center of population. Is this where the old-fashioned Salt river springs from? THE National Athletic club Is in so deep now that It doesn't care about issuing any more invitations to come' in the water.

Garfield has his eye on the presidential chair. He would better have both fltsts on it if he wants any results. 44 KNOX county has begun to ship wa termelons. A Knox county watermel on and a blanket at night is a good vacation for anyone. 44 IT it may be possible that after President Taft gets through with the Wiley case, somebody . else may lose his head, and it won't be Doc Wiley either. 44 HAS Governor Marshall made any effort to ascertain whether there is any violations of the law at any other place in Lake county besides Cedar Lake? B. YES, we could take all the attention we give that little sheet, roll it Into a wee wad and stick it in our left eye without causing the least discomfiture. MICHIGAN woman, who married for a Joke, was denied a divorce. Still there will always be some people who think that marriage is something to titter about. 44 "YOU seem to think I'm not right about anything," said one Tolleston man to another yesterday. "Well, I think you are right about that," was the retort courteous. 44 LAKE county roads are never praised so highly as when a bunch of autoists who have hit the high spots in other states land in the best of Indiana's ninety-two counties. AN old lady with a handorgan visited Valparaiso the other day and the Messenger says "she was listened to with rapt attention." Well you have to have some excitement over there. don't you?

Heart to Heart Talks-

By EDWIN A..NYB FANNY CROSBY. I am just as young as I ever waa. 1 haven't grown old a bit. and I don't Intend to grow old. Those who trust tho Lord shall preserve their strength, and 1 trust the Lord. The brave words were tittered by a woraau who is ninety-two years old. or, better, ninety-two years youngFanny Crosby, the well known writer af Christian hymns. Speaking to a vast audience In New York the other day. she turned upon the people eyes that have been sightless from the time she was Are years old. Since she waa a child this blind singer has composed hymns. If you were to strike from the church hymnology the productions of Fanny Crosby you would leave the collections poor Indeed. And you could fill many ordinary hymnals from her songs alone. "I don't Intend to grow old'." What splendid optimism! And she never will grow old In spirit, feecause of the sublime optimism of her life she has lived long and usefully; because of It her songs breathe of faith and of hope and of trust. And as the great audience was thrilled by the words of the young-old woman of ninety-two, so has the Christian world been stirred to enthusiasm by the sacred songs of this sweet singer of Israel. Optimism Is vitality. Pessimism is poison. Call It what you will Christian faith, pew thought. Christian Science, suggestive therapeutics, or what not optimism is life. Some of us who have boxed the compass of religious thinking and come back to the simple religion of mother's knee call It Christian faith. Why Fanny Crosby has not grown old la because of her simple and beautiful trust, because she has had young thoughts, sought young company, kept a young spirit. Age Is not of the spirit. The body may grow old. but by faith the spirit is renewed from day to day, and. such Is the force of spirit over material, the body itself is wonderfully preserved. And so the blind singer is not tired of life. On the contrary, she says she Intends to live to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of her birth. May she accomplish her desire! Who puts faith and hope and trust into the hearts of mortals puts into the world the tremendous forces of as surance and confidence and courage and health. prise.

Shocked upon swords and shields, A prince's banner. Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes. A craven hung along the battle's edge. And though, "Had I a sword of keener steel That blue blada that tha king's son bears but this Blunt thing!" ho snapped and flung It from his hand. And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wounded sore bestead, ' And weaponless, and saw the broken sword. Hilt-buried In the dry and sodden sand. And ran and snatched It, and with battle shout Lifted afresh, he hewed his enemy down. And saved a great cause that heroic day. Edward Rowland SilL age sixteen, the only son of Frank J.
