LEVI HUTTON. OPENING BURNHAM AVENUE. THE TIMES has apprised its con stituency in West Hammond of the danger of losing the Ilegewisch ex tension of the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Railway company, not through any disinclination on the pert of the street car company to build through West Hammond but for the sole reason that Burnham avenue is not open to ordinary traffic. The Ucgetvisch extension should not be confused with the Harvey extension which A. I Drum promised to build at once. The people of West Hammond and Burnham will be to blame if Burn ham avenue is finally closed to traffi3 and this whole district loses an important north and south thorough fare. As matters now stand Burnham avenue can be restored to the people with the public put to only one-third of the expense of the viaduct. A. L. Drum of the Green line has said that his company would bear one-third of the expense of a viaduct, the railroads are expected to bear one-third and the towns of Burnham and West Ham rnond are expected to issue bonds to cover the other third. i A fine wide viaduct could be constructed which would start at State

The pride of powera our present hour, Still, oar greatest dancer la. O'er vision' sea appear to me A cloud but heaven save from thtsj No heart and aoul to heaven turned Wna ever by the Father spurned. Then let us plod with thoughts of God, And let our nobler motives arrow. That all tbat'a beat of toll and reat Like nature, unimpeded flowi f A alngle day of heaven ! worth A thousand years of atrife on earth. Howard L. Terry, in Living Church Btreet, rise to the proper height at the Michigan Central tracks, run over tho Calumet terminal tracks and then drop to the Burnham bridge. If tho question of track elevation enters into the problem then the via duct can be made a temporary one with the idea of its lasting for the next ten or fifteen years, or until track elevation becomes a fact. The importance to West Hammond and Burnham of having this viaduct constructed so that all of the. automobile, wagon, carriage and street car traffic will be diverted through that channel can not be over-estimated. Organizations should be perfected In AVest Hammond, Burnnam and Ilegewisch for the purpose ot furthering this project. There is necessity for Immediate action. The traction company desires to build at once and It must choose between one of two routes, the north side route or the West Hammond route. Jt must either parallel the South Shore into Burnham and Hegewisch or open up a new territory to street car traffic. The whole district west of Hammond is interested in the opening of Burnham avenue. INK AND BLOOD. A Kansas politician having stated that "T. R. has shed more ink and lesB blood than any warrior since Ssncho Panza" another was inclined 10 argue wun mm. due out or an abundance of caution inquired, "Who is this Mr. Panza, anyway, and what was his ringside weight?" R00SEVELT AND BUSINESS. It is diffcult to be even patient with a man who talks as irrationally aa Theodore Roosevelt. Yesterday he said: "In my Ohio speech I dwelt with emphasis upon the two great subjects of Immediate moment to our .people, the need of having a real and not merely nominal popular rule, and the need of aeenring prosperity fur the huiness man, the wage-earner and the farmer alike. "As I then suid, 1 most emphatically believe that it is necessary to have an equitable division of prosperity, but that It behooves us to keep in mind that we ' can not divide the prosperity unless the prosperity is there to' divide, and that to secure the rvcll-hrlna; of the business world I emphatically In the Interest of every citizen of the United States." What, may we ask, has Theodore Roosevelt ever done to "secure the well-being of the business world?" What has he ever done for the need of "securing prosperity"" The condrtion of the business world, tumbled about its ears,- at the close of Roosevelt's administration, was brought about by none other than Roosevelt. Mr. Taft inherited this turmoil and business depression from none other than Roosevelt and with his amazing hypocrisy, the Rough Rider blames Mr. Taft for it. If Roosevelt is nominated and elected and serves four years more, the country will be in worse shape than ever. The country will be faced with the same problems and it will be faced with Roosevelt in the role of imper ator. of a dynasty. PRAISE FOR HUTTON. It pleases us to read of the handi'work of Architect J. T. llutton of

in the Crawfordsville Journal: "If you ever go to Lebanon don't fall to take a look at the new court house Just built there" by tho tax payers of Floone county. Of coursu you can't help seeing its noble proportions from the outside, as it looniH up the biggest thing In town. Hut a visit Inside will repay anyone. Architecturally it 1m a dream and from a utilitarian standpoint It is Just about perfection. It represents the very lutoat i ilt' a a in designs for public buildings and the commissioners of old lloone evidently spared no expense to have these Ideas carried out artistically and substantially. It la not only a court house but a county building with provlalons for the comfort and accommodation of the general public i. well as for the transaction of publlo business." ADVERTISING AND FUNEHALS. Among other benefits it has conferred upon humanity advertising en ables us to die cheaper. Five years ago who would have thought that an undertaker might advertise? It Is true some In the country carried cards in the weekly papers but they also did a furniture and possibly a livery business. As a result of the advertising there haa been a tendency to Bhade what has been believed to be excessive prices. And the best part of the advertising is that the undertaker who uses printer's Ink is more prosperous than ever and the poor find burial expenses less Bevere. The high cost of dying has at all times been a problem. Way back In the eighteenth century the eminent j Dr. Johnson, pressed for the where-j with to bury his poor old mother, wrote "Rasselas," over night to obtain the necessary funds. A GASOLINE motor boat is in aperatlon on the Dear Sea and a facetious contemporary believes that it won't be long before there is a phonjograph orchestra in the postofflee in Jerusalem. AN exchange neatly says that "when a man sews a button on his trousers all by himself he Btruts around the office as If he had invented, an airship." MONTANA is bragging about a seventeen-year-old hen. Bet the man who tries to bite into a leg when she dies will have to brag about his teeth. FUNNY! Some people thought that the sun would grow cold and the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold after Mr. Roosevelt said what he did. NOW most of the things that will be said on our behalf by our friends after we die are true, but why on earth must they wait till we can't hear. THE Gaekwar of Baroda says he can't live on $250 a week. Wish he's turn it over and let us Bee if we could live on that. IF you see a hatless man wearing eye-classes wandering around, take no notice, he's only trying to attract at tention.. SEEMS as if Aetna would be glad to get rid of the powder mills. It would have fewer conniption fits. Mjn tnat Mr. Aioran is elected we believe the Lake County Bar associa tion "will begin to look up a little. BETTER appeal to Sheriff Grant to have the boys quit kicking Colonel Tim Englehardt's dog around. EVERYTHING comes to him who waits unless the cop catches him and pinches him for vagrancy. BUTTER is selling in some places for BO cents a pound. Who Is get ting the money anyway? THE squadger's society meets only in the morning to get out of the squdge. SWEET are the uses of adversity. It will soon be time to plant the grass seed. MERCY, haven't you anything to talk about except the weather? THE peach crop is dead! the peach crop. Long live MR. Roosevelt should remember what happened to Abe Attel. YES, it looks campaign. quite like a busy

(From the Raanvlll Ja?k.aoatan. W. P. King and Earl Bever have had the time of their Uvea chasing foxes this winter. 'Henry Davis and Cash King of Rush I county, were here today, guests of Charley White and Sam Deem, old neighbors and good entertainers. "Leroy Link of Cleveland made an other attempt to leave home Tuesday, but was captured west of Falmouth." DEAR old Crown Point must feel mighty worked up since the colonel of Ridge road talked. Better nail the court house down. VALPARAISO VIDETTE a few day ago ran a poem headed. "Spring Time Bye and Bye." Yes, woman's rights bye and bye, too. DO you remember those happy days when it was "Teddy and Will" and when they both had their pictures taken together? WE read in an eastern paper that one of the dancers at a Washington social function was clad chiefly in a garter. The inference is that down east they either wear big garters' or that the weather is much milder than it is around the shores of Lake Michigan. THE Chicago Daily News sees music in the cat's howls. The editor must have been listening to some of the singers In the moving picture shows. CAN eggs be unscrambled? Can Teddy's boom be ungassed? AN Ohio baby was Operated on for appendicitis. Since babies are becoming so expensive It is no wonder that bachelors continue to do their own mending. WHEN T. W. E. IS SHERIFF. Sheriff Englehart: "Is everything ready?" Deputy Sheriff: "Sure, boss." Sheriff Englehart: "All right. let the prisoners move the jail up to Ridge road." IF you are an auto owner you probably are longing for those springy Sunday mornings. "A man and a woman sometimes appear to be in love when there is really very little love between them." Smart Set. ANOTHER MOOF.l Ht'BBV. (From THE TIMES.) SHE alleges that he treated her cruelly, blackened her eye and while they lived In Gary took money from the boarders she kept and spent it for drink and gambling. She alleges that he wss find in the Gary courts for wife-beatlnnr and failed to provide clothing' for her." "And she says this after promising to "love, honor, obey, etc." Oh. fickle woman! Ton change your mind as often as T. R. . THE suffragette The hand that rocks the cradle Isn't the one that cas ts the ballot. PERHAPS the Orpheum will stage that pathetic little playlet by Homer entitled, "Why Trees Go Wrong," or the Sewer That Killed Catalpa." Jimmy Jarvls. who won the 135pound National amateur boxing championship in Boston lat year, is now boxing professionally In New Tork. Carl Morris and Jim Stewart will do it all over again, having been rematehed for a'10-round bout to take place in Brooklyn, March 29.
