The city of West Hammond is com pelled to bear the disgrace or another murder case. This Is regrettable in view of the fact that the progress of reform has been so rapid. It is also regrettable that the murder may be said to be the result of moral conditions In West Ham mono. Had west Hammond never attained Its present reputation 11 would today be safe from intrusion by restless, adventure seeking persons ,who become central figures in its fights and disturbances. For years West Hammond has been attracting the worst element to its confines. If the citizens of that place had hung out a sign reading: "THIS PLACE IS HELL ON EARTH WE CATER TO CROOKS, THIEVES. BAR FLIES, DEAD BEATS, MURDERERS, GRAFTERS AND DISRE PUTABLES' it could not have been more successful in attracting that class of people. It will take years of lid tight watchfulness on the part of the police to remedy conditions. The police should not be criticized for the murder which took place a few days ago. It was a heritage of the old ad ministration. They should be held to strict ac count, however, in the performance of their duty along the following lines: 1. Every resort In the city should be closed up! 2. Disreputable saloon keepers should be denied licenses and In this way forced out of the city. 3. All known crooks, hangers on, and others of their ilk should be driven out of the village or arrest ed on the charge of having no visible means of support. The closing of the disreputable saloons will enable the decent saloon keepers to make a living and will remove the excuse they have given for running resorts. It is apparent that the cleaning up of West Hammond is going to be a long tiresome job but Chief of Police John Kulczyk and Mayor K. M. Woszczinski should be congratulated on the progress that has been made so far. Three raids of resorts, not make believe raids but real ones, have had a salutory effect. The community nas come to realize that a person is no longer safe In a West Hammond resort. This will kill business and result in the voluntary closing of certain resorts. There will be outbursts of criminality from time to time but th'.3 will have to be expected. So long as the police are doing their duty they must be accepted in good faith. A FIELD FOR HIM HERE. Those who rail at long-winded speeches we sometimes hear in the courthouse in Hohman street, in the center of the Crown Point square and in the seat of blind Justice over in Porter shire, should pause to read the dispatches from Viterbo. Viterbo, you remember? The place

Chief of counsel for the defense at Viterbo is making a speech that is only a month long. He had been speaking for three weeks when his clients became hysterical and then he got that way too. Court adjourned for two day9 on this account and now the lawyer Is finishing up the other week portion of his plea. And if the defense doesnt' get a clean bill of health no other phase of the law's delay can save them. The Viterbo lawyer ought to come to these parts ;his services would be much in demand. ATTENDANCE AT THE GAMES. Cities in the Northern Indiana baseball league are not giving the games the patronage they deserve and what the promoters expected this year. No reason can be assigned for this. The quality of the sport furnished is not to be questioned and for real down right examples of the national game as it should be played the league games hitherabouts are satisfying to the average Tan. The cities have fine parks and grand stands. The question of cost is cer tainly not to be considered. To attend a Chicago game eats up dollars where it only takes nickles to attend the Northern Indiana league games In this connection a contemporary says: In some of the cities where the attendance Is not what It ought to be the newspapers are appealing to the people to go out to the games as a matter of local patriotism. They call attention to the fact that the management has done all that ought to be expected to promote good, clean ball, . and the editors of the papers seem to think that the citizens owe it as a matter of duty to the management to patronise the games. It may or may not be a good argument. But there is even a better reason why the baseball games should be well attended, and that is, as stated, because it is of benefit to those who attend. Any concern that furnishes clean, healthful amusement to the people of a city Is entitled to consideration. But the promoters of baseball need not make any such appeal. They are furnishing an amusement that is valuable In itself, an opportunity for the busy man tjo enjoy himself while getting the open air and recreation which he so much neds at this season of the year. But to get the full benefit of baseball one should attend frequently. An occasional game is a good thing, but regular attendance is a better thing. For it is only by attending regularly, and learning to know the players, and becoming enthused with the spirit .-of the game, that one can get all there is in baseball. TWO-SIDED BUSINESS. Goldthwalte Rustler: The only honorable and honest way to stop a newspaper is to step Into the office and pay up all arrearages, get a receipt and have your name off the list. To fire your paper back at the publisher marked "refused" when you owe six months or a year, and never go near the office, is not only disreputable, but superlatively dishonest as well. That is the old and natural viewpoint of the publisher of the paper. It has long prevailed and is not with out honor in this or any other coun try. But let us look at the question from the standpoint of the man who returns the paper to the postoffice: He subscribed for a year, say, or six or three months, and paid the publisher's price. He didn't subscribe forever, with an implied command to the publisher to send the paper on and on and collect the subscription money from time to time. He subscribed for a stated, definite term and paid a stated, definite price the publisher's price. Therefore, his obligation was ended, and when the time expired for which he had paid he was under no obligations to continue patronizing the paper. The publisher was keeping the books, aud he voluntarily assumed the risk of continuing the subscriber's name on

his mailing list. If the subscriber came in and paid again, it was a good risk ;if he did not come in and renew it was a bad risk, and the publisher

was entitled to lose. The only right way to run a newspaper is to run it like any other legitimate business. And no publisher has a right to complain of readers for not paying for what they haven't ordered. On the other hand, no reader has a right to complain of the publisher for not sending him what he hasn't ordered. The buyer of a book doesn't expect the book dealer to send him a book every year and charge it to him, nor does the book dealer pursue so absurd a policy. Then why should newspaper publishers and newspaper read ers carry on business in so unbusiness like, a way? Dallas News. WHY WORRY? A great many folks are worrying about the present between-the-devil-and-deep-sea position that the Hon. Tom Eph Knotts, mayor of Gary, has been placed in. The chances are that there will be a tie vote and hizzoner" will be compelled to heave the deciding ballot in the race for the aldermanic seat from which Battleaxe Castleman was ousted. To vote for friend Englehart or to spear him and obviate the danger of an insurrection on the part of the pepull's champeen is the spectre now confronting the embonpoint figure of the great Gary mayor. Of those who are worrying how ever, Knotts is doing the least. Tight places have a fascination for him and getting out of them is his long suit. In fact it is a wonder to us that he hasn't been called into the extricat ing department at the Coliseum long before this. CAPT. NEWS RETIREMENT. Indiana republicans who have been accustomed to finding Capt. Harry New the man who knows more about national conventions than any one in the world on the job will hail his retirement from active political life with a great deal of regret. He has done aa much if not more to put Indina on the political map of this country than any other man. When he said In his speech to the delegates in the Indiana headquarters at the Congress yesterday that he had done all he could for Indiana for 12 years he told the absolute truth. Capt. New has petted and "babied" and favored Indianians at national conventions above all others. If it was possible to do an Indiana man a favor Capt. New stood ready at all times -and at all places to do so. His work has been well done. He will be missed at republican naHeart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.. NYE. THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

Behind the cablegram printed above is the story told by a theatrical writer a typical story of human life. Every year Oscar Hammerstein used to go to Europe, looking for song birds for his opera. In Paris be heard Buranna Dumesnll. a famous French soprano, and said to her, "I want you." In addition to buying her release from her manager he offered a big salary. Shrugging her shoulders, Dnmesnll said: -Leave my so dear Paris? Nevalre! Why should I leave my Alphonse, who loves me; my cat, that I adore, and my good, warm little stove?" Wily indeed? There are other things in life aside from dollars. And Dumesnil knew that very well. And yet Sir months later the soprano was swaying andlences In grand opera. London. And the discriminating said they could detect In the wonderful voice a new undertone of sadness. Ah. met Alphonse had proved false, and the cat was dead, and the little stove was cold. What was it somebody said when he first heard Jenny Llnd? "Break her heart and she will sing divinely.' Well, and somebody did break ber heart. It is the way of the world The way of disillusion. When Alphonse is true and the cat purs on the hearth and the fire In the little stove burns brightly, then does life ahead look like a radiant morn ing. But Comes a day when the fire is but ashes, and there is no sweetheart true, and the poor cat Is dead. The mirage has risen. The rivers of Joy have lost their runnels in life's desert places. Well, well: . It may be that some sweet day Jules will fill the heart that Alphonse left empty, and another kitty will sing, and the fire tn the little store will flame up agalnl

It referred to the settlement of 226 contests for Taft and none for the opposition under the direction of the national administration as " jr. triumph for civic righteousness. But now as the steam roller goes by the Item sits on the bleachers and emits groans, shrieks, hisses and yelps. The . righteousness of the road roller all depends, it seems, on who happens to be running it and who happens to be under it. Marion Chronicle. n PULL THE BLINDS.

THAT volcanic eruption in Alaska is probably due to some miner who found out he couldn't get a ticket to the convention.

Bozarth shaking his head as he ponders over the iniquity of It all. THE weather man need not trou ble himself to make forecasts for Chicago, next wek. It will be hot. WHY not the three-cent piece? It can be used to buy the things that cost one cent a few years ago. MY goodness!' Sounds as if some body was pounding a pair of cocanut shells on a slab, Chicago-wards.
