THE BASEBALL SEASON. Lovers of clean healthy sport are
rejoicing that the Northern Indiana
liasebau league season is about to
open so auspiciously and with such
flattering prospects. With the addi
tion of Valparaiso and Laporte to the
league new zest. is given the game
While not taking the local feature out
of the sport altogether this addition
will broaden the interest and widen the scope of this most popular out
door pastime. Both Valparaiso and
Laporte have been In the habit of put
ting out splendid baseball teams. That is the country where they grow good baseball players. J3oth towns
have been In the habit of taking their baseball rather seriously as Is thq habit with communities whose population Is both rural and urban
but out of the athletic melting pot of

will furnish rich entertainment for
DIAZ VINDICATED. Usually the man who comes to the front with an "I told you so" when
untowasd circumstances prevent
pushing a forward movement to a successful outcome in an unmitigated nuisance .not deserving of attention.
But this cannot be said justly of Gen
eral Porfiio Diaz, late President of
Mexico. .
From his exile in Europe General
Diai, a few days ago, sent out this
statement: "The world can see now
that I was no tyrant, but a severe governor. I realized that the Iron
hand alone would keep Mexico pros perous and peaceful."
Diaz is more than justified in thus
directing attention to the fact that
he has been misjudged not only in
his own country but by many of the people of Its big neighbor on the
north. The revolution which strip
ped him of power and made him an outcast from his native land was planned and prepared for in the
United States. A portion of the American public was made to sym
pathize with it through the efforts of a score or so of yellow newspapers
and a few muckraking magazines
which seized the opportunity afford
ed by his stern rule to pose as fear
less and advanced champions of
human liberty.
There is nothing to show that
President Madero is not an upright
man and a true patriot. , He un
doubtedly believed when he was or
ganizing his revolt against Diaz that
he was striving for real freedom for
Mexico. In his administration a
President he has done his best to give
that freedom to his country. But
now this country knows and he prob
ably knows that Mexico is not ready
for such liberty.
ASTRONOMERS again report spots

NO doubt some young parents -would I

CAN It be possible that the Inland teel of Indiana Harbor thinks that if it
keeps on growing some day it'll catch
p with Gary?
TWO per cent of Indiana's population
is holding office, and when Alderman '
Battle Axe Castleman gets those four
new city sealers on the Job the per- '
centage will go up conslderazly.
EASTERN matrons now demand that
housemaids have complexions to match
the home surroundings. If the rule
were applied here a fluzy with a ce

bloom would be popular In Gary and
kerosene or gasoline tints, would, of course, be the thing In the Whiting
aristocracy. i
THE WATER ERA.
With the recommendation on the
part of the board of United States
engineers that $1,333,000 be appro
priated for the improvement of In
diana Harbor the Calumet region en ters upon a new era in Its develop
ment
Its railroad development was fol
lowed by remarkable industrial de velopment and this turn is to be fol
lowed by remarkable waterway de
velopment
The need for this is shown by the fact that the plan of the American Maize Products Co. in Hammond
alone ships three, car loads of freight
a day to Chicago where it is trans
ferred to lake steamers and sent out
to lake ports. i The economy of loading this on a steamer at the very door of the plant and sending it to its destination must be appreciated by all. The government appropriation is a step in this direction. , Just as the railway development that has come to the region In the past, ten years was a great stimulous to ; industrial development, the Im
provement of miles of dockage property will stimulate- further activity
along these line
The Calumet region should be very
grateful to General Wliliam H
Bixby and Lieuetnant Colonel George
Zinn of thrf board of United tSates Army engineers for the stand they
have taken in this matter.
The storm of opposition to the In
diana Harbor appropriation which
has been aroused in Chicago and which i3 reflected in the articles on
the subject In the daily press of that
city will be quieted.
If the fact it would be a good plan
for the commercial clubs of the region to pass resolutions, signed by their officers and directors, calling" the attention of the Chicago newspapers to the fact that they enjoy a large patronage from the 100,000 people of the Calumet region anI that their attitude of hostility to the waterway plans of this secion of Commercial Chicago Is an affront that can not be overlooked. In the meantime the waterway de
velopment of the northern part of Lake County, Indiana, is as certain to go forward as it is certain that the
force of gravity will always hold us
to this terrestrial sphere. Chicago may delay, but it can never prevent, the development of the Indiana Harbor canal, the Calumet river and Lakes Wolf and George

In lieu of any possible old Ideas, the brightest, newest things Imaginable have been Introduced to such anextent that the new review is practically different in detail, recently composed music and specialties have been added, as well as a number of mechanical and electrical devices entirely out of the conventional: in fact there Is evidence on every hand of reconstructed effects
and settings from the rise of the curtain until the finale. The piece Is presented this year In a spectacular fashion and requires a large chorus of young ladles, who in their gorgeously made costumes cut quite a figureriin tha many different and original ensembles. All In all the new "McFadden's Flats" is the proper caper In the . world of spectacular farce reviews. It will bo the attraction at the Orpheum Monday.
