It was bickering and quibbling that cost the business district of Ham mond' the main line of the South Shore Interurban road. Now Ham mond looses the great advantage that accrues to the territory along the line of this road by reason of the superior transportation facilities that are of fered to the plant of the Baldwin Lo comotive works. The demand that is said to have been made by certain citizens that the board exact a provision for uni versal transfers from the Green Line is silly. It would make the entire system of this line in Hammond feeder for the I Gary & Interurban line. No traction line would consent to such a provision when the reciprocal advantages are so few. It would be business suicide. The great majority of the people o& Hammond demand the passage of franchises that will give both the Green line and the Gavit line access to. East Chicago. Delay will be ..fatal. What the peo ple demand now is extension and not the coercion of a street railway com pany to do things that are manifest ly poor business policy. The demand that the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line purchase a right-of-way along the Xickle Plate tracks over what would be the extension of Kane avenue and then dedicate It to the city as a street is asking a great deal when the company is already compelled to spend thousands of dollars for raving the space between the street car tracks. It is more important that steel highways be built through to the Baldwin plant at once than It. is for the board to quibble over forcing concession that are unimportant in com parison with the great task of secur ing transportation to the great in dustriai districts of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. It is wrong for the board to demand that the Gavit line leave Kennedy avenue open to other traction lines. One of the assets of a franchise Is the fact that it is exclusive. It helps to sell the bonds that bring hundreds of thousands of foreign capital Into the region for traction development. The members of the Hammond board of public works are right in seeking to make the best possible bargain for the city and no one questions their motives, but while they will find some people who demand uni versal transfers and the common use of trackage by all Interurban and street car line they will find thousands who demand, for the sake of develop ment of their property interests, that lines be built through to Indiana Har bor at once without delay and quibble, THE MELTING POT. One of the greatest racial melting pots in the west is Lake county and the figures obtained in an investiga tion by the students of social science in the University of Minnesota will be of much interest here. They took a racial census of 40,000 families living in Minneapolis. The results aro very interesting. It was found, for ii.stance, that seveneights of the foreign-born heads of families had ma rried those of their own nationality. But the children of such marriages, the second generation exactly reverse this, as but one eighth marry pure bloods of their own nationality, while practically none of the third generation regard nationality in their matrial choice. The greatest amalgamators of blood were found to be Germans, who showed 102 combinations of national

Frank Butler. ties. Tlie most exclusive of mixed marriages were the English enumerated, the Norwegians showing about the same proportion as the Swedes. Even the Jews, popularly supposed to cling to their own people In marriage, and to seldom mate outside their race, showed the same tendency as the others to forget blood after the intra generation. But popular opinion was confirmed in the showing that the greatest' num ber of children are In the families of the foreign born, and that large fam ilies dwindle as blood Is mixed There was but ne exception to this and this was where the union was of the Welsh and Irish. COMPLAIN OF SERVICE. While we don't doubt for a minute that the residents of the Ridge road district and those who live between those highlands and Lottaville, are quite grateful because they have street car accommodations south of the Little Calumet, yet they can't be blamed for protesting against the service they are getting, even If they are perhaps a little impatient. Prom the clamors that come from beyond the Little Calumet it appears that the Gary & Southern cars have the vexing little tricks of never arriving In time to meet the departing Gary & Interurban cars. On the other band the latter traction vehicles have the habit of leaving before the car from the south appears in sight. Accordingly those who travel down South Broadway are dumped out at Calumet bridge as are those who are going north. On these wintry days it is far from pleasant to stand in the center of a wind Bwept marsh. Wome a and little children-find the situation disagreeable. Since both lines have failed to ad ust their schedule in a common sense way it is up to the board of public works to straighten out this little traction tangle. Both lines ar suppose to receive and accept transfers, but so far each is collecting its own nickel. When both companies received their franchises it was stipulated that there would be 5cent fares ard transfer exchanges. Sooner or later both will have to get down to business and if the companies can't agree on terms the board of public works ought to take steps to remedy matters. r PUCK says that a man Ib known about the importance of the things he gets angry about. In other words, it makes a difference when a man gets angry about a lost collar button or losing $300. YOU.can rest assured that if there was any way possible for the Hon. T, W. Englehart to get the Duke of Con naught and Princess Patricia out to the Ridge road district, Tim would f gure it out. SOMETIMES this swearing off prac tice really has to be considered seri ously. Here's & Florida man who com mitted suicide because he couldn't keep, a New Year's resolution. RACE in Africa, where the women boss and the men wear veils. Possibly the time will come when we here will have to be trotting up to the veil counter and buying two yards. THESE be the days when no mat ter how deep the treachery and con temptible the act, the victim must simply swallow hard, smile and reflect that all's fair in politics. FUNNY that the women who think they can be sheriffs, presidents, etc, just can't stand -to wrestle with the problem of getting a- $5.00 per week maid to stay.
