The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
Are you one of those people who are forever Baying, ' I wish I had this or that," "I wish someone would die and leave ire $10,000," "I wish, etc., etc.' ? If you are, did you ever realize that there is such a thins; as the Immortality of wishing? Probably not. But Isn't there? I think there is. Indeed, I think wanting to have things without paying for them In coin of honest labor or sacrifice or desert or some similar specie Is one pf the greatest Immoralities in the world. K is this attitude which stands behind half the sins and follies in the calendar. The thief, the seducer, the gambler and a thousand others are products of the desire to have without paying. Then, too, over much wishing is enervating. It has somewhat the same effect upon the character that riding all the time and never using one's legs and
God meant them to be used would have upon the body muscles. Of course, there is more than one kind of wishing.

always Intended to promote t!to areneral welfare of the pnbUo at laraja DARKEST RUSSIA BLACKEST WEST HAMMOND. Every day evidence is accumulating which tends to show that the of
ficials of the village of West Hammond are carrying on a systematic cam
paign of persecution against those who dare to oppose them.
In darkest Russia it has come to an accepted fact that officials In power
subdue their opponents by putting them in jail oi banishing them to Si
beria, but darkest Russia could be no worse than blackest West Hammond.
FIRST PHOTOGRAPH OF POPE PIUS SINCE ILLNESS SHOWS HIS COMPLETE RECOVERY
There is the light hearted, ' non
chalant wish that says cheerfully, "It
would be fun to have one of those touring cars to be rushing around the country In," or -Wouldn't It be great
to live in a big house like that?" And there is the discontented, unhappy wish that says enviously. "Oh, dear, I wish I had that automobile," "I wish I had his money," ""Why can't I have a chance like that?" The first kind of wishing Is useless, but harmless If not Indulged In too much. The second is both useless and harmful. Wishing Is only allowable when it grows strong enough to become a motive for an honest attempt at acquirement. "Wishing is like steam, us-less and sometimes dangerous when allowed to escape, but capable of accomplishing great things when harnessed. Teach your children and incidentally yourself if you need It not to say or think "I wish" too much. Teach them. In more concrete terms, of course, that labor and contentment are the two handmaidens of happiness and that neither likes the company of "I wish." RCTH CAMERON.
The Day in HISTORY
TO see some of the members of of
ficialdom in the Calumet region gent
ly dropped out of a three-story win-
Henery Wolfe, one of Miss Brooks' ardent assistants, was arrested on Mow in the council chamber by the
a warrant for the most trivial offense and was fined in Judge Green's court.
His case has been appealed.
Fred Camp, a police officer, was discharged from the force. He threat
ened to make an expose of grafting in West Hammond. His case was dealt
with summarily. He was arrested while in the saloon part of a resort
scruff of the neck, would never cause any lamentations and wringing of
hands.
SAYS a correspondent in a contemp
orary, writing on the harem skirt:
in a raid that was framed to get him and was fined in Judge Green's "I as at a party the other evening
court. His case has also been appealed.
Melvin I. Anglin and Walter Bamm, two detectives, were sent over to
West Hammond to look for two girls who are believed to have been lured
to the resorts there.
The police learned of the purpose of their visit and they were arrested for carrying concealed weapons. They were thrown into jail without first
being given a chance to give bail and spent many a dreary hour there.
These are only the cases which have come to light. There may be
others equally atrocious. When a gang like that in West Hammond gets to the point of desperation where the police force and the courts of justice
are used for the purposes of intimidation It is time to call a halt. : - CHURCH BUILDERS; CITY BUILDERS.
TCoihing gives a city the appearance of substantialty so much as fine public or semi-public buildings. Accordingly the announcement that the
congregation of St. Joseph'3 church is to build a new church edifice to cost
in the neighborhood of $100,000 is a matter of great public interest.
The fact should not be overlooked that the pastors of some of the !
Hammond churches are among the real builders of the city as well as build
ers of character.
Father H. M. Plaster of St. Joseph's church, has labored among the
members of his parish for nearly a quarter of a century and in that time
he has seen the city of Hammond grow from a struggling village to a thriving city. What is more Father Plaster has kept apace with the growth of
the city. '
It is peculiarly fitting that the members of his church should make the
building of the finest church in Northern Indiana the crowning triumph of
his life's work.

COMMENDS THE GOVERNOR.
Governor Marshall is to be warmly commended upon his determination
to back with the state's power and money the prosecution of the grafters of Gary. The action in itself is thoroughly worthy of endorsement but its
chief value is as a precedent. There are in Indiana today several communities where powerful outlaws appear to be immune from prosecution be
cause of their power in local politics or because they have been financially
able to subsidize the local authorities. Where a . community is unable or
unwitting to prosecute ine outlaws it narDors, it Decomes incumbent upon
the state to do so and in recognizing this solemn obligation Governor Marshall rises to the true dignity of high office. Local self-government is an institution to be honored and respected but when it fails in the performance of its legitimate function it is high time for another power to assert Itself and right the wrongs which the local government has failed to reach.
