Lanl! and Our Father wouldst thou know Why he should call It Father Land? It is that Adam here below Was made of earth by Nature's hand; And he, our father, made of earth Hath peopled earU, on every hand; And we. In memory of his birth. Do call our country Father Land. At first, in Eden's bower, they say, No sound of speech had Adam caught. But whistled like a bird all day And maybe 'twas for want of thought But Nature, with resistless laws. Made Adarcr soon surpass the bird! She gave him lovely Eve because If he'd a wife tley must have words. And so the native land, I hold. " By male descent Is proudly mine;, The language as the tale hath told Was given in the female line. And thus we see on either hand v e name our' blessings whence they've sprung; We call our county Father Land We call our language Mother Tongue, . SAMUEL LOVER. HOW WOULD THIS DO? The churches of New York have started a movement in favor of a law which would compel every house own er to put his name conspicuously up on every house owned by him. This movement is directed against the numerous dens of vice scattered through the city and is bitterly op posed by a large number of wealthy men Having extensive real estate holdings In this rity The reason Is, of course, quite plain. Many wealthy and highly respected" men and women own houses which are used for im moral and otherwise improper pur poses, with the full knowledge and connivance of the owners. The sc cret of the ownership Is well guarded by the agents of the owners. .. It would be quite a shock to the community to learn aB would be un avoidable under Buch a law as planned by the promoters of the publicity movement, that Mrs. X. or Mr. Y both members of the most aristlcratlc society circles and standing high in their respective churches own a nuni ber of "notorious houses in the Tender loin district or that the Z. Estate, ad ministered by a man of undoubted piety, Sunday School Superintendent and leading member of a number of religious and reform organization a has leased a number of houses to no torious gambling house keepers and keepers of houses of ill repute. How would it do in West Ham mond? THOSE ROBINS. Greatly esteemed correspondents from various parts of- Lake County continue to write this paper that they have seen a robin and it is impossible to acknowledge them all. Henceforth we will not be able to chronicle the discovery of any robins unless you find one wearing ear tabs and a pair of felt boots. WATERWAY PROGRESS. The news that the East Chicago Company has let the contract to the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Com pany fr the construction of several miles of dockage indicates how fast things move In the Calumet region. A year or two ago it seemed as though nothing would ever be done to Improve the canal and river. Since that time the canal has been opened through to the river, the government has accepted it as a navagable stream, sceres of industries have located along its banks and now finally it is to be dug to its full width and lined with concrete docks. This is real progress. The locating of the Baldwin Locomotive Works at East Chicago .which ' resulted in the sale of a million dollars worth of property by the East Chicago company, Is responsible, for the new Impetus that has been given the region by the prospect of the development of 'its magnificent potential water ways. . Then congress is bound to see what is being done in thiB great region for its development and will come to its aid this year. It is expected that Lake County will get a substantial appropriation from the rivers and

harbors committee. "The ."property " owners along the canal from One Hundred and Fortyfirst street to the river jyre expected to take up the question of building docks as the same time the East Chicago Company makes its improvements. - The property owners along the Calumet river north of Hammond

! have already organized for the pur pose of straightening the river and dedicating the necessary land to the government. So everything indicates that the next two years will see some real waterway development in the Calumet region. And when this comes its progress will be rapid. IT IS COMING SURE. Judging from the way that Lake County towns and cities are growing and the way that their interests are becoming merged it will not be many years until every town and city north of the Little Calumet, and Hobaj, below that stream ,1s incorporated in to one municipality. Gary, Ham mond, Whiting, East Chicago-Indiana Harbor, Miller, town, and Hobart, town, will eventually realize that one administration is far cheaper than six separate governments. Laugh at it you may but it will come in the years that, are approaching. Gary started the centralization idea a few years ago when it absorb ed the towns of Clarke and Tolleston It has made overtures to Miller and before long Aetna, East Gary, Liver pool and New Chicago will be knock Ing at Its doors. The demand for a sanitary district made up of these towns and cities and the more later proposal that Whiting, Hammond and East Chicago unite to build for water purposes is only a forerunner of the eventual consolidation of all municipalities In the northern part of the county Growth, of Industries and the rapid development of interurban lines have served to bind communities together With traction facilities at hand popu lation spreads out and interests of community soon become identical. In five years time a single'city in stead of a half dozen would give Indi ana a new metropolis that would rival the capitol city. PATRIOTS AND THEN SOME A patriot, sententiously remarks a contemporary is a man who loves his country but we never yet knew of one who was not hanging on to somo office or trying his best to get stranglehold on one. PASSING IT ON. There are fgjs-of the good things o life that can be returned to the peg pie who first gave them. What the father does for the son the son does for the grandson. What the teacher does for the pupil, th pupil transfers to those who follow him. What the employer does for the young clerk, the young clerk does for others when his own success comes. Even the neighbor in trouble cannot repay the kindnesses of nurs ing and midnight watching to the same friend whose servicesare offer ed during the hour of anguish, for that same friend may never need them. ' But the obligation to repay does not cease because the original giver is out of reach and free from want. It passes on requiring that each one who has received shall give, all man kind being beneficiaries. The social delusion that one must struggle to return favors and recipro crate in giving, often spoils the spirit of the gift. It is, indeed, natural to warm with kindly gkjw of soul toward those whose remembrances have brought us happiness; but where the spirit goes not with the frankincense and myrrh, these would far better be left ungiven . Let the gift come from the heart, and let it be given not to the one who is entitled to It by he rules of bookkeeping, bat to the one who need it most ,or to whom you feel at the time most tenderly inclined-. Let It be not merely at Christmas time but throughout the year, whenever suitable apportunittes appear. And most of all, let it not be merely of things appraisable, but more especially of things to which no price can be attached. Pass It on. The noblest conception of generosity is that which takes no account of a return. Pass it on to other men and women who may never make a refund to you, but who will iepay the obligation by rendering it to others in need. For our public schools, our public libraries, our public improvements for the benefit of the coming genera tion, perhaps the strongest argument la .that we should do for our children what our parents did for us. For our personal generosity toward those from whom no return can be expected, the reason is the same ;and the great progress o fthe world Is evidence that each generation has passed on to thse next more than it received.

CHARLES Buluois of West Ham

mond spanked his wife wit,h a strap and got 100 days for it. He said he thought this was a fre country. The young man's disposition and name would indicate that ' he immigrated here from, the Isle' of Sulu. Muncie Press. . Well he went to the right place ith his notions anyway. LAFAYETTE Courier wants to know what has become of the oldfashioned girl who used to 'take a flat-iron to bed with her in winter? She's married now and uses her hus band's back in lieu of the iron. PERHAPS It has been pointed out to you what a lot of time the democrats are wasting over tariff schedules in advance of the tariff commission reports. That is real democratic democratic economy. THE hobble skirt is going "out of fashion but it never gained much ground around here which is another thing greatly to the credit of our women. JACOB Rlis plaintively shouts 'Roosevelt promised me not to run." Well, Jake, what of it, can you cash his promises? Otherwise please don't slam the door after you. WE note with much interest that Representative Boehne who. in clarion tones announced that-he has burned his bridges behind him is still smelling the smoke from afar. THE republicans will try to see just how many they can get interested, in the new 'kind of politics next week and a curious feelingJ impends about the outcome. CRESTON has a perfect right to

itiouse. The torch is said to be a veryjpe-pull Is to be pried from his seat in

good thing for an unhealthy school house. ' I JANUARY Is not yet ende(land the words "bachelor" and- "fighting shy" already have a good - sized growth of whiskers on them. JOYOUS ; Frank L. Stanton sings, VThe thorns come with the roses, but ain't the roses sweet?" Yes and ain't they expensive too, Frank? IT IS not hard to predict the end of a boy who disobeys his parents, re fuses to work and loafs In a poolroom. PITY the poor farmer who laid in a large stock of vegetables for the winter and finds them all frozen. FARMER paper speaks of "the average weight of the goose." 13 this before eating or after? YOU will notice that it is the cheapest politicians who are always the busiest. , f BEGINS to look as if some politi - clans had better get out of the danger zone. HE AR D ' BY RUB E ONCE It was learned that firemen would be exempt from taxes, the town of Miller had no trouble n organising Its volunteer red shjrt brigade. . t "EVERY little movement has a mean ing allIts own." The Roosevelt move ment, for instance. DETROIT wants the short .ballot. Gary would like to have the unstuffed kind. ' ' ' NO sooner do you think that you are getting a coM than you have to tell some one about' It. DR. F. S. writes and asks whether or not some of the restaurants have not been forced to serve oleo since butter began to do the high kicking act. Doc, all restaurants that-we have been to are no more bothered about the price of butter than you ara about the price of ice In Greenland. THREE HUNDRED old square pianos are to be burned up at Atlantic City but the one next door, you'll find, is not Included. 1 NO sooner do you decide that you will save that f 5 bin than a staved-off bill collector bobs up. THEN again can It be possible that our missing Hennery Coldbottle ran across Antony Baukus and Is with him?

He worked hard and was acquiring the reputation of being an honest and thrifty tradesman. But at night Joe Graeber, the tailor, became another man. The deft needle work was dropped and forgotten and Instead and quite as skilfully, Joe wielded the "Jimmy." In the daytime Joe's needle went In and out ceaseless ly. Joe himself went "In an out" as Industriously at night, the police say. and quite as silently. Graeber himself says tailoring paid about as well as burglar work and at neither could be pay hid rent.

Protestant clergymen belonging to the Lafayette Ministerial Association of Lafayette are somewhat In doubt as to the attitude of United States Senators Benjamin F. Shively and John W. Kern on the proposed peace treaty between the United States, England and France, and the ministers regard the letters thev have received from the Indiana senators equivocal. The ministers of the city forwarded petitions to the Indiana senator at Washington asking them to favor th treaty. The senators said they had re cetved the communications, but did not promise to vote for the treaty. The ministers adopted resolutions protesting against public trials in cases of assaults on women.
