Bombastcs Furloso personified, the leading bull moose has gono to the extremes of socialism in order to get votes from all classes. Never was Hamlet's thought so strikingly suggested as when reading the Roosevelt platform: words, Word, WORDS.

SOME of our exchanges outside the county are fussing about the centralization of courts in Lake county. Don't know whence they got the idea but the courts are going to stay Just as they are. PARIS has a new ballet which Is said to be so naughty that reporters refuse to write 'it up. Publication of the last statement alone was only necessary to fill the theatre nightly to overflowing. LOTS OF PROSPERITY. The crops are good. It is taking a lot of cars and locomotives to move them; and the railroads are ordering equipment. So the steel mills, the car shops and locomotive works, are busy. There Is a lot of reserve money in the banks throughout the country. New York banks are so well fortified in this respect that there will be no danger of a financial stringency. In anticipation of the big cropa such firms as Marshall Field and company are keeping their woolen and fabric mills running day and night to turn out the fall and winter goods. 6teel, the backbone of our local business, is so healthy that our mills refuse early delivery orders. ISNT IT POSSIBLE. California woman cracked a burglar's head with a chair while he was crawling into the house the other night. She probably thought it was her husband coming home from lodge where they had teen pulling off a number of thirds. IN some counties couples get engaged and never see each other until the day of the wedding. In this country often they never see each other afterwards.

IF there Is anybody in this big region that is widely enthusiastic because Tom Marshall has been nominated for vice president, we haven't found him and it's about time. GLORIES IN DECENCY. It is about time for the people of Hammond to recognize the fact that they are the best governed com munity in the entire region. Cities like West Hammond and Gary get a great deal of undesirable publicity when they are lawless so why should not Hammond get the benefit of its good reputation. Here are some of the things that indicate that Hammond has improved greatly since the old days when it got a mighty tough reputation. 1. There is no professional gambling in Hammond. 2. There are no immoral resorts in Hammond. 8. Hammond's saloons are the most orderly in the county. 4. Hammond's city officials are efficient and no suspicion of their corruption exists. 5. Criminals fight shy of Hammond. The police are too efficient. There have been few burglaries there than any city of the size in the state despite the fact that Hammond is near Chicago where raids of yeggmen would be easy. 6. The police have not had to cope with a murder case In years. Gary has on the average of a murder a month. And Hammond has this Tecord in spite of the fact that for years it h;.s had to suffer the contaminating influence of West Hammond where immorality was cultivated and crime was fostered. No big scandalsin either public or private life have broken loose. Hammond is decent. It is too busy with its commercial and social activities to be otherwise. And finally let Hammond be the answer to the man who Justifies an open town on the grounds that i closed town Is a dead one. Legitimate business does not demand a closed town and that is all that Hammond has.

It was never more prosperous than it is now. The city experiences no high tides Aot riotous prosperity. Neither iesj. it 'have it corresponding perlods"of depression. ; Hammond is Just a healthy, decent American" city of'tne better sorj and proud of the fact. . IF some of these politicians could only be fitted up with something to keep their mouths going that worked on the same principle as an escalator what a bright world It would be for them. IT ought to be possible for a person in Gary to gej. off a street car without being frightened to death of being bowled over by an automobilist with more gasoline than sense. JOLIET News Is so struck on T. R. that it calls him one of the big four of all American presidents. Why not call him the biggest? You would come Just as near the truth. SODIUM phenylmethlpyazolonamldomethanssulphonate is being Introduced as a cure for rheumatism. Guess if we have to take either one it will be the rheumatism. TAFT deserves a lot of votes for refusing to let girls get letters at general delivery windows instead cf at their homes, if he didn't deserve votes for any other reason. ' STUTTERING is said to be thrice as common among men as among women. Quite true! We never yet saw a woman who had any trouble whatever in talking. "EVEN the girl who giggles may get married,' 'says the Boston Globe. Yes and there is nothing like marriage for curing a girl of the giggles. IN the meantime the people who own real estate have their ears to the ground for anything that listens like Baldwin or Schletsinger.

"Immer villkomen," as some of our "Germans" say. WHY is Bill Mathews late of Gary not mixed up In this political riot somewhere? ONE victory doesn't make a baseball pennant, as one swallow doesn't a summer. THERE'S a whole lot to what a girl means when she doesn't say anyS thing. LAST call for vacations and first call for the rake. 'STEBMED Indianapolis News now refers to him as Dr. Roosevelt. How are you doc? IF meat is high eat beans, says a philosopher. Good idea! We remember the day when we would have aold our birthright for a dime to buy a plate of pork and . NEW York Sun is fussed up over the Bull Moosers and the Nu Jursey Mule Boosers.

NOW that ths state board of health makes 'em use Individual forks and napkins at the free lunch counters how about devlsiny a scheme to make the eaters germless? HEGEWISCH man received his citizen papers and then celebrated by getting drunk and landing In jail. No telling what would happen if a Hegewlscher ever got elected to the Chicago council. THERE'LL be a nice surprise for Governor Marshall on the twentieth. He is to be told that he has been nominated for vice president. And won't Judge Becker feel good about it. OUR special correspondent. Hennery Coldbottle, has been so busy at Hammond covering the convention of the Plattdeutsche Grot Gilde that he has had no time to write a story about Lakewoods park deciding to remain "wet." THAT low moaning sound coming from out of the Gary city hall is versatile Tom Knotts practicing the Bull Moose moo so it will be handy In case he decides to run for re-election on the new ticket. Tom, you know, flops periodically, he having chameleoned with equal alacrity from the democracy to the populism and from that Into socialism; then ha wes a republican police commissioner in Hammond, got elected town president of Gary as a democrat, was appointed a few months later by Roosevelt as the republican postmaster and was then elected as a democratic mayor. Ever since he has ben a cross between a mule and an anti-prohlbltionist and If necessary he will be "hell bent" for Al Beverldge, SO Teddy Isn't going to let there be any Black Bull Mooses. Theyll all be white until they get roasted brown on November 5 and after that they'll all be blue. i i
