STATE LINE STREET.
About two years ago the people of Hammond and West Hammond went to the trouble and expense of open
ing State Line street through from
its southernmost end to Plummtr
avenue.
At that time THE TIME3 pointed out the great advantages that would i - 1
accrue to the business district of Hammond and to West Hammond as a result of the opening of this street.
The people who were compelled to pay for the opening of this street have not had one bit . of benefit as a result of the improvement for the
simple reason that the street has not
been paved and is therefore impassa ble for most of the traffic.
The people of West Hammond and
Hammond, who are ' interested in
this matter, do not seem to realize
that a street might as well have blind end as to be impassable.
It is time the property owners on
both sides of the line werti getting
some return on their investment in
the form of benefits from, the opening of traffic on the street. "The traffic on Hohman street is now greatly congested. Some sort of relief is needed at once. The paving of State Lina street would take care of a great deal of this and would have a tendency to reflect value on State line property. As soon as State Line street is paved to the south corporate limits of West Hammond then the counties of Lake and Cook will take up the matter of paving the street to the Schrum road wher It is now paved.
This will give Hammond, and West Hammond a new. means of access tj the truck farming districts to the
south of the eity.

HEARD BY RUBE
"I want John to be a lawyer or a
doctor," said agod lady, so that he
won't have to .work." You probably have heard doting mothers say the
same thing.
The remark betrayed an utter
ignorance of the chief requirement of every business or profession. Nr
man can succeed in any business
without working and working hard; and there is na occupation of whieh
this is more true than of. the very
two she mentioned. "
We feel sorry for a boy who has a
mother like that.
The mistake made by many young
men who choose professional lines. Is
that of supposing that it is unneces
sary for the learned man to "work.""
The fact is, that the old mandate of Capt. John Smith js especialy adapted to those in scholarly pursuits. "He who will not work neither shall he eat."
The lawyer or doctor who willjiot work is in a pitiable plight, or he must be either a debtor or a liar if he lives at all; a liar, if by misrepresenting the facts, he secures business, and a debtor if he gets none.

newspaper game Is an interesting
one which offers to the man of
brains a comfortable living- if appli
cation is given to it. What ever there is offset by the absence of monetary rewards, the spirit of the
game, it3 continued interest, th
power it gives, and the very charm
ojt the game itself amply , compen
sates those who dedicate their lives to this attractive walk of human endeavor.
THEY are mentioning old Doc Wiley as a candidate for vice president now on the democratic ticket with Woodrow Wilson. Wonder what Editor Garber, of Madison, who tried to
run Wiley for governor of Indiana on the' republican ticket, thinks of his
man now?
W. J. .s ABBOTT, tbe noted demo
cratic political writer, predicts Sena
tor Kern's nomination for president. Perhaps Mr. Kern can force them to tell him about the mysterious eight then.
A MYSTERY. That an Ashdown merchant has a two-cent piece which he claims to have carried In his pants for twenty-seven, years old is nothing? to brag of; money won't spoil; but what wo are Interested in is how he made his pants last so long. Murfreesboro (Ark.) Messenger.
The only solution to the mystery
that we can' see is that he always took his meals standing irp but even then; there is always some wear and
tear In getting into them.
THE REPORTER'S CONFIDENCE. One of the moot points in Journalism as far as its connection with the outside public is concerned is the
question of the inviolability of con
fidence on the part of the reporter.
It has been shown repeatedly that &i a class the newspaper reporter is to
be trusted almost implicitly. When he gives his word, he keeps it. Many have tried to make him betray h'3
confidant to their sorrow. A news
dispatch says:
Milwaukee, Wis., May 28. The question whether a newspaper reporter can be required to reveal under- oath the source of information on which he bases a newspaper article came up. before Judge Turner yesterday. Judge Turner ruled in effect that a newspaper man's confidence is inviolable. John. Killilea, who had caused a reporter to come into Circuit Court, requested the court to require a reporter on oath to reveal the names of the persons from whom he had obtained information which was used , in a news article. Killilea said the publication of the article during the pendency of the case tended to prejudice the Jury and that statements made in the review of the history of the condemnation proceedings were incorrect and evidently supplied to the reporter by persona interested in the case. Judge Turner decided that he had no power to require the reporter to be sworn or examined unless the reporter volunteered.
In other words truth is as sacred
and trust is as dear to the newspap
er man as it is to any professional man that walks God's green foot stool.
THE NEWSPAPER GAME.
Lately the Saturday Evening Post has been giving a lot of space to the
newspaper game. The tone of most of the articles would indicate that
the game is the most unrenumeratlve
on the face of the earth.. It is not
an overpaid line, to be sure, but
medicine, architecture, and engi
neering do not offer any more corresponding returns. Readers of the
Post are lead to believe that the newspaper game is nothing more
than a hard beginning, a few years of maturity and the shelf when the age of thirty-five is reached. Gloom pervades all of the Post's articles. While not a profession that hol.is forth any financial allurements ths

MEDITATION SUCCESSFUL. The Erdman act is a federal law providing for meditation and arbt. tration of labor disputes on interstate railways.

Within the last five . years, however, there have been 4 8 cases, involving 1G,000 men anV 500,003 miles of railroad. Ia 44 of these
cases meditation alone was successful. Only three went to arbitratioa, and only one of . the 48 failed to ?e
