A WISE LAW RESURRECTED.
The indictment of a number of members of the Master Plumbers' Asso
ciation of Gary on the charge of making exclusive contracts with certain dealers in materials, which is alleged to be in restraint of trade and a misdemeanor under the Indiana statutes, will probably be a timely hint to other coteries of business men in this locality. The law says specifically that, "Any person, firm or association of persons who shall make any contract to prevent any wholesale or retail dealer in, or manufacturer of merchandise from selling such supplies to any dealer
or to any mechanic or artisan or, who shall, upon the request of any party tnat name.

Glad news from Valparaiso.
SLEEPY OLD HAMMOND.
Hammond is trailing far behind a number of the other cities of the Calu
met region in the solution of its street lighting problem. In Hammond the
old. unsightly wooden electric light pole with swinging wires and hanging dianapolis News
arcs is still in use. It is the same system that was employed there twenty
years ago.
' In the business district, instead of having a row of neat, ornamental lamp posts, the sky is filled with a cobweb maze of wire arches which may
look, all right at night when the wires cannot be seen, but .which are any
thing but attractive in the daytime.
South Chicago was the first city of the Calumet region to adopt the orna
menal street lamp post for electric lighting. It was followed shortly after
wards by Gary, which made Broadway and other streets attractive by a mod
ern system of lighting.
l Then Indiana Harbor took up the question and is about to lnstal the new
lamp posts on many oi its ousiness streets. Hiven Toneston, wnicn. only a
few years ago was no more than a group of houses, has a system of boule
vard lights.
And Hammond, poor old plodding Hammond, still has the old hanging
arc lights. The lamp trrmmer, goes his rounds as usual, the ropes squeak and
groan as the lamp is lowered, they blink and sputter as they swing in the
wind at night, and Hammond is satisfied.
And to cap the climax, when the local lighting company asked permission to install two lights in front of its office, to show the people of Ham
mond how much of an improvement they are over the old system, the ancient
r and honorable city council required it to give a bond that it would remove
them whenever the city demanded. Let's stretch, yawn and turn over. My, but we're sleepy.
THE report that the Gary grand
jury has indicted five master plumb
ers for maintaining a combination in
restraint of trade may remind you
that something of the kind has been
more or less contemplated in this city
but nothing seems to come of it. Tn
