' Sir Walter 'Scott. THAT Y. M. C. A. EPISODE. The Rev. Trimble of Gary, he of sensational pulpiteering methods, not having been in the limelight for these many moons, since he tried to lure sinners to church via the police patrol route, took serious exceptions to one of Sol. Smith Russell's monologues delivered in the Gary T. M. C. A. on Sunday and thereby made himself absolutely ridiculous. We suppose if Rev. Trimble had heard "Rev." Billy Billy Sunday, or "Rev." Oliver, or any one of the other vulgar and sensational speakers get up before that fine body of young men and deliver one of his customary tirades in billingsgate, such as would not have been tolerated in any decent raloon, Mr. Trimble would have dapped his hands and cried "encore." There never was a cleaner man than Sol. Smith RusBell. There never was a man. woman or child who heard and saw the quaint kindly acting of Sol. Smith RuFsell, who did not come away all the better for it. He wag one of nature s nobleman. He did the world far more good, did religion far more good than any two of the ranting revivalists strutting before the public for what dollars they can get out of it. i The officials of the Gary Y. M. C. A. never need fear for a moment that the great body of those who deal with young men will ever criticise a Sol. Smith Russellism even thought it may be given on Sunday. If the churches of the country would get up Sunday afternoon programs like that given in the Gary Y. M. C. A. they would attract young men to the sacred edifices and do a power of good. The Rev. Trimble Is barking up the wrong tree again.

STATE IINE STREET. The whole campaign for the opening of State Line street, a project which cost the people of Hammond and West - Hammond considerable money, was based on the theory that the territory between the Monon railroad and the state line needed an additional north and south thoroughfare to take care of the rapidly increasing traffiic between the country districts and the Hohman street business district of the city. Having made a successful fight for the opening of the street, the city officials of Hammond now desire to im-
