NOW FINALE TO THE SHORE. Now finale to the shore! Now, land and life, finale and farewell! Now, Voyagr depart! (much, much for thee is yet In store); Often enough hast thou adventur'd o'er the seas. Cautiously cruising, studying the charts, Duly again port, and hawser's tie, returning; But now obey, thy cherished, secret Embrace thy friends leave all-in order; To port, and hawser's tie, no more returning1. Depart upon thy endless cruise, old sailor. ' , Walt Whitman.
LIBERTY AND NEGLECT. Scarcely has Violet Buehler been recovered from a mysterious disap
pearance when another girl drops
out or sight. Edna Ford, eighteen, a student at the Western College for Women at Oxford, O., did not reach her destination when she started from her home for school. Have American girls too much liberty or are they frequently objects of too litle concern on ths part of those responsible for their welfare? South Bend News.
Havo they too much liberty? Did
you ever visit some of the ice cream
parlors, dance halls picture thows
in your own city and other cltie&and
see the number of young girls there
without escort? Did you ever stroll
down the streets of South Bend and other cities on a summer night and
see young girls ogling fellows for what they call "dates"? Too much
liberty? Too much parental neg
lect? Well you speak mildly.
ACTION DEMANDED.
DESIRABLE EDUCATION. In the opening of the night college
of the Gary Y. M. C. A. Lake county
gains a new educational institution that is going to be of great value to ambitious young men. The courses
are arranged , for those who toil in the day time and it is intended that
he who has but the rudiments of an
education can better himself at very
little cost. ,,
Some of the test trained officers of
the steel corporation, engineers, who are college men and who have sup
plemented their theoretical knowl
edge with practical work are at

from mathematics .engineering.
languages and commercial law, to
salesmanship and advertising is to be had at this night college.
Not long ago the Outlook printed

The cltietus of Valparaiso raised
$53,000 as a sjibsidy to the Valparaiso and Northern railroad to induce it to
enter that city; they are now engaged
in the work of raising $25,000 or
$30,000 more to encourage the build
ing of the Chicago, Indianapolis and
Meridian interurban line.
The people of Hammond and East Chicago are not asked -to vote the local street car systems subsidies to enable them to build the extensions which are so badly neded by the whole community; they are simply requested to grant the franchises and foreign capital will pour in to make
the necessary improvements.
Instead of taking advantage of this
great opportunity, the opportunity
to induce a bit; corporation to pour additional money into the local traction rat hole, where hundreds of thousands of dollars have already disappeared with little prospect of returns, unreasoning people are putting
obstacles in the way of development
that is absolutely , necessary if the
region is to get the full benefit of its
industrial development. Universal transfers are high sound
ing words. Undoubtedjy It would be a great thing for the traveling public. No one will gainsay the fact that it
would be a great thing for the work-
ingman.
Ask the average citizen, "Would
you like to see the traction lines of the region brought to an agreement by which there would be a universal
exchange of transfers?" and he will
answer in the affirmative every time
But ask him, "Are you in favor of standing by the demand for universal transfers even though it means the
loss to the city of an extension of the
Green Line to the Baldwin plant and
a permanent deadlock between the
street railway company and the city
administration?" and he will give an
entirely different answer
Do the people of Hammond want
the Baldwin and Indiana Harbor ex
tension or do they want to spend the
next two years looking for the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow?
hen the unreasonable demands
that were made by certain council
men and property owners on Indiana
avenue resulted in the loss to the
business section of the city of the
main line of the South Shore inter
urban the city of Hammond suffered
an irreparable loss. That Is what one exhibition of bull-headtdness hag
done for Hammond
Now the people of this city are
starting in on a second performance
They are going to make slow old Hammond the laughing stock of the
surrounding cities
No demand for universal transfers
was made when the franchise of the
Chicago, Indianapolis & Meridian rail
road, a visionary project in compar-
COME WEST, LAD!
A New York lad who was selling his papers was arrested for disturbing the peace. The only thing against the boy was his voice. He was discharged after a lawyer had
tried to make the court believe that
the lad's voice drowned the screams
of the trains and the sonorous yelp
of East river tugs to say nothing of the noise made by Tammany. As long as the boy cried his wares honestly he iB to be commended and

effete New oncers aisiute noise iec

A WHOLE lot of the Gary young
men are suffering from the mumps.
Suffering we say, because If this is
one of nature's little Jokes, it is by
no means a pleasant one.. In Gary nature is playing an 'extra joke In as much as mumps are supposed to come only when one is young. How
ever, nature is a "contrary cuss." You may laugh at a mumps face to day but don't be so sure that you'll not have a swelled face tomorrow.

THAT WATERWAY. The republicans of the Tenth con
gressional district in their convention
esterday adopted a resolution calling
attention to the proposed Indiana waterway and asking the Indiana
delegation in congress to do what they can to have this route adopted.
This resolution was not a wild dream.'
neither was it political buncombe. It
predicted a waterway improvement
that is going to be made and it called
attention to the most desirable route
Within a few years there will be waterway connecting the Great
Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. Th
completion of the Panama canal calls attention to the benefits that would
be derived from such a waterway
The improvement would place the
great central west in direct connection with the Pacific, saving thousands of miles in distance and millions
in cost of transportation.
A preliminary survey has proved
the project feasible. The Indiana
route contemplate a ship canal from
Indiana Harbor to Monticello, where the Tippecanoe could be utilized to
the Wabash. Such a canal would
cost the government no more than other proposed routes and it is shorter to the gulf by at least 150 miles
than any other route proposed.
Let us.remember that there is go
ing to be) an inland waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. With this fact In mind we should be interested in having this canal run through Indiana. The Indiana route would add immensely to the industrial Importance of the state and we
should have sufficient enterprise ' to urge its adoption. The business in
terests of Lafayette should join with the commercial clubs of northern Indiana an durge the adoption of the Indiana route. Lafayette Journal.

A GRAND OLD MAN.
Some one has asked who Is "Lake County's Grand Old Man?" Those
who are in a position to answer probably would select the Rev. Timothy Ball of Crown Point, who is now spending the winter at Sheffield In Alabama. Rev. Ball is one of the reminders of the pioneer days of the region. He came to the Calumet country more than three quarters of a century ago and has witnessed the territory's development from the wilderness it then was to what it is today.
Even as far back as nearly forty years ago the aged settler ' predicted Gary's advent. He could see at that distant period the opportunities the future held. To Rev. Ball we are Indebted for
the story of Lak county and northwestern Indiana and his admirable historical works which can be found
