DO WE WANT IT IN INDIANA? Every effort is being made In Indiana to promote the boxing game in
certain quarters. New York, which poses as the greatest state in the Union, has legalized the sport and those who want it in Indiana use this as an
assertion that the people are enlightened in New York. Are they?
Listen to this account of the latest affair In New York City from the
pen, not of a mollycoddle, but a great sporting writer: And with all this loose flesh about him Morris stood to be literally chopped to pieces. Within a very few rounds his right eye t was completely closed. One of his seconds, in fact, tried that old prize ring resource of sucking the blood from the battered optic. The face kept getting worse and the solid overhand smashes Flynn sent against the suffering giant's mouth affected Morris to such an extent in the long run that he could not close his lips. He went to the scratch for many rounds with red fluid trickling down over his chin. A more gory spectacle was never seen on a fighting platform. , There were rounds when each man's -shoulders and breast were smeared all over with blood.

THE CRIMP ARTISTS BUSY.
There are a few men In every community who by native ability, thrift, force of character and other sterling qualities become recognized as isolated personalities. That is, they have lifted themselves head and shoulders
above the throng. They are able to amass fortunes, they become known as the men who do things, tliey are positive, not negative, factors in the
city in which they live. They are the men who do the big things.
, .And no sooner does a community produce men of this character than
there arises an opposing element. An element Inspired by jealousy, hatred
and vindlctiveliess whose sole object seems to be to oppose everything that
is proposed by the real builders of the city.
--'" This latter clas3 are eternally looking for the ulterior motive. They
view with suspicion the most creditable acts of the real workers of the
city. Theirs is a business of destruction.
These conditions exist in Gary In East Chicago, down at Crown Point and in fact all over Lake county. There Is an epidemic of them. Here is
the latest example: A
Over in West Hammond there Is a large amount of acreage directly
contiguous to the principal residential district of the city of Hammond. So
long as the ownership of this land was vested in non-residents who held It merely as an investment, there was no knowing. to what uses it might be
put. A million dollars' worth of beautiful homes were in jeopardy.
Fortunately for "Hammond, it had men who were able to drive a hard . bargain with the owners of this property, purchase the land cheap and get control of it at a price that made it a good Investment In any event. Still more fortunate is it that these men are so thoroughly imbued with the spirit of civic pride that under no circumstance would they put this property to any use that would be detrimental to the adjacent residential property. Following the acquisition of this property by Hammond business men c a country club project was suggested to them and negotiations were opened -for the .purchase from them to that splendid site for this purpose. The land was offered to the promoters of the country club at cost, iplus a reasonable commission for making the purchase. The terms are exceedingly liberal, but the owners went farther, they devised a plan for . financing the purchase of the land and the building of a club house.
If the Hammond country ciub becomes a fact that city will be made . 'a hundred percent more desirable as a residential city. The danger of an undesirable neighborhood in the vicinity of Homewood will be removed. The social life of the city will be made more pleasant and the city will be
a big gainer in the end.
All of this is made possible by the fact that Hammond has a few men
who were willing to risk $."0,000 or $60,000 in making the preliminary pur chase of this property..
One would think, nnder these circumstances, that they ought to at
least receive hearty thanks of the community.
But the crimp artists are already busily at work. They can see no good In the project. They impugn the motives of the men who are back of this project. Their voices are raised from bar-rooms and street corners.
The country club project is merely cited as an illustration. Other
worthy enterprises are subject to the same unwarranted attacks. It i
time that the people cut out these cancerous growths by refusing to counte
nance attacks on the Integrity of men who have the confidence of a major
ity of he people of this city. If Hammond is to grow and prosper there must be co-operative action in support of every worthy project regardless
. of whom is back of it. The country club scheme merits a splendid success.

It has made a million merchants better
business men educated them in system and method. It has made a million storesful of clerks dependable. It has helped to reduce retail prices by stopping leaks and checking losses.
