And It la very seldom that
We hit a high place on the road.
Dead level for the greater Bart Our journey reaches from the start. The same familiar nights appear
It is the same old Joke we hear.
And It In seldom that we find

Wild eyed excitement of the kind
Ton read about ia story books.
We go to see our eoasla Pete.
His wife's familiar rooking eat.
Observe how all the kids have grown
And then come home to spank oar

And sample strictly new mown hay.

The result in..the Illinois primaries
as far as the republican party is con
cjrned is a surprise to no one. The astute Deneen. saved, his bacon by calling at the last minute a special session- of -the legislature for direct primaries. .He himself a strong Taft
man saw the drift, and gave the peo
pie what they wanted a chance to
vote for Roosevelt. " Illinois is the one spot in th
tinted States where the Roosevelt managers have bent every effort to
make showing. Their, fire lias been concentrated on Illinois these many months. Chicago has been a hot-bed of Rooseveltism. It is a city
where every passing fad and fancy
is taken up and, where every gold
brick in business, fanatic in religion
and visionary in politics can get hearing. Mr. Taft's managers hav
been inclined to let the state go by
default knowing the could not stem
the tide of Rooseveltimania. If
campaign of education had been car
ried on for Mr. Taft, showing the
splendid record'he has made as pres
dent nothing such as happened yes
terday would have happened. X
one begrudges Mr. Roosevelt the delegates he got In Illinois. The good Lord only knows it was high time
he was making some sort of a show

history as the most thoroughly dis
credited of job-hunters.

In five years' the people of Ham
mond will look back to the barbar
ous days when Streets were sprinkled with water and the air .was filled
with dust. Except for the smoke
that comes from factories there Is no reason why the. air In a city the size
of Hammond should not be as pure
and free from dust as the breezes
which blow over a clover field.

damage that Is done In a year by tha

would run into the thousands of dollars.
When South Hohman street was a
macadam pavement the dust which blew into the houses made constant
housecleaning necessary. With its asphalt macadam pavement, which does not slough off dust, Hohman street Is the cleanest street In town. Sprinkling with oil . will accomplish
the same results on other streets.

When a man's 60 his mind will be
what he has made it. It is important
for a man who wants to -live in a brickhouse that he shall build one of brick. Yet here is this difference: A man can exchange one house for
another. He can't exchange minds wtih anybody.
It Is vital to happiness that a man
should constantly create In his mind
a taste for what will give him pleasure when Dr. Osier is ready to chloroform him.
To have a mind fitted for philosophic reflection when the time comes, when he will have little else to do, is wisdom. How happy is the restful, contented old man, and how glorious
the crowning years of him whose
gray hairs find the company of deep thoughts and happy contemplation. Cicero's essay on old age is one of the most sensible articles ever written.
Old men are either more peevish or more serene than young ones, and
either condition is the direct result of brain tissues that have been built
and cannot be changed; for the minds of the old are more brittle than their bones.

THIS is the time of the year when the back-to-the-farm movement, ought to be extremely active, but strange to say it is not. Probably afraid of the hard work that is starting there now.
THEY, can maite attar of roses now out of a by-product of kerosene. There is still hope that Whiting can be made a sweet-scented city after awhile when Mr. Rockefeller gets around to It.
WONDER where some business men get their advertising hunches? Here's a man who advertises: ''Hats that are the limit of swellness for conservative dressers." Can you beat it?
NOW IN THE SULKS. Just as we thought. It was ex
pected night before last but It didn't
come until last night.
Every time that this or any other
local newspaper in this district
prints exclusive steel news it is at
once denounced as a fake by a certain Gary paper, which is making a great effort to pose as the only official source of steel news. But some
how or other those that are high in the steel world have the damnable habit,of letting New York newspapers have steel, news instead of permitting it to first seep through the "certain Gary paper."
Saturday this paper carried the
story, which by the way, was al
printed in that newspaper celebrated far and wide as a financial authority, the New York Sun, that foxy million dollars worth of five per cent bonds had been authorized for the Indiana Steel company of Gary. Of this amount fifteen million dollars is now
in the market and is being offered for sale by J. P. Morgan and company, as attested by their advertise
ments in Wall street financial papers.-
As was expected our contempo
rary, as it has done in the past, last
night belittled the story in Its edi torial columns.
It is the tendency in the modern
newspaper game to take your medi cine when scooped but some news
papers are not modern. They must
pout.
GOV. Wilson says he is "not afraid of the American people getting up and humping themselves." Well they don't seem to be doing much humping for one Wilson around here.

YOU GOT AN EYE FULL.
Everybody got an eye full of dirt during the recent windy weather. You probably cussed or swore as a flying piece of manure lodged in your eye and your nostrils were coated with germ-laden dust. ' But that Is as far as you got. You did not stop to think that there might be a way of permanently putting an end to the inconvenience of a dust laden wind. You did not study the problem and
discover that the streets of Hammond can be sprinkled with oil just about as cheaply as they can with water, for they don't have to b? sprinkled with oil so often, and that Instead of the unsatisfactory results that have been obtained with water that oil completely solves the problem of settling the dust. But the board of public works has studied the matter. That is its business. It is going to begin sprinkling with oil and its wants the cooperation of the property owners who will
THE MOEAL.
Several years ago, a Hammond man an American by birth, shot and
killed a woman. Today he'is a free
man and walks the city's - streets.
Later a Roumanian was guilty of murder he is in prison for life. A
negro killed a man, he also is in the
penitentiary for the rest of his
existence and now a Chinamafn will
die behind prison walls. All this in
Lake County. Looks as if a nic
little moral could be deduced, desn't
