THE PANAMA RESULTS.

The other day we spoke of the in

ternatlonal aspect of the forthcoming

completion of the Panama canal.

also has a local aspect that is more interesting; and the day when the

first ship goes through the big

isthmian ditch on that day will

there begin a new era for the Calu

met steel belt. ,

Many needs will be created. by the

canal. More ships .will be needed

many harbors in these two continents will be developed;, transcontinental

railways will prepare for greate

traffic; and all of this means that

more steel, cars, rails, equipment,

ships, cement, locomotives, etc., will

be required. We make all of thes

things right here in the Calum

region. If there is a new harbo

opened on the Peruvian coast or if growning town in California, i

Chile or in British Columbia sudden

ly branches out because of the canal

we shall have a great deal to do with

outfitting it.

If ever a territory realizes from the opening of the Panama canal you can count on it that the Calumet

region will that one. We do not appreciate what a tremendous bearing the big canal is going to hae on our local industrial prosperity. Well, It is going to be a big one, and what's best of all, it is going to be a steady one.

THIS IS MY CREED. Tbla Is my creed, Tbla lie my deed! "Hide not thy heart!" Soon we depart; Mortals are all A breath, then the pall; A flash In the darkAll's dour utirr and stark. o time for the lief The truth, and then die. Hide not thy heart! Forth. vrita thy thought!

dodging and every effort made to discredit him. And it Is significant that these attacks are being made not by the decent element of the city but by the dive keepers themselvs.

Mayor Wosczynski now pays that

Chlf of Police Kulczyk must close the

dives or hand in his resignation. He says that he must arrest the dive keepers. lie declares that if the police force is not large enough that deputies must be sworn In. The mistake that Mayor Wosczyn

ski has made Is that he did not take' this stand at the very start. He should have closed every place in West Hammond the day after he took office. Then it would have been impossible for the resort keepers to have framed

up anything on him. He would have done what everybody expected him to do and no one could have complained.

Every day that the resorts were left

running increased the right of the general public to suspect that some one was getting a rake-off or the dives would not have continued to

run.

There is Just one way for the

mayor to purge his administration. That is to order Kulczyk to close the

dives. If he fails he should be discharged. . It is ridiculous for a chief

of police to come back to his superior

and report: "They won't close."

not end their prayer In the usual Christian manner, "through Christ

Our Lord, amen"; they forget that to

these non-Christians such a prayer

means nothing; they forget that

these same people, as taxpayers at

this public function, and under the

constitution, may demand the same

consideration that is given only one

creed, and that by their consent the

minister should voice a prayer that

would include all. This is not a mat

ter for argument. It is one of com

mon sense. Naturally there is noth

ing denominational or sectarian in

that great prayer The Lord's

Prayer.

Well that will make 'em go wrong if

NOT VERY "AMUSING."

Particulars of the shocking and

tragic ending of a West Hammond

man named Messman have been given in these columns. An effort has

been made to get the truth which is of more than passing interest to the

people of West Hammond.

Yet a doctor by the name of An

drew Hoffman who is said to have at

tended the man Messmaker in his last hours comes out in a letter in a

local paper last night and says he has been "RATHER AMUSED" at the

statements made by THE TIMES con cerning Messmaker .

Just how a doctor can find any thing AMUSING in the way a hus

band and father met a horrible end

might be of Interest to the public. Perhaps Hoffman thinks it is laughable affair.

Well the people of West Hammond

do not think so.

LOTS of men never realize what excellent housekeepers their wives ar until the later have gone to the country and the dishes begin to stack up in the sink.

SOME of the doctors say that the

adoption of the kilties would be more hygienic than trusses. Yes so would the fig leaf but who wants to be that

much hygienic,

WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? In spsaklng of miscarriages of jus

tice so prevalent in this community a

Chicago paper says:

"A man was fined $200 the other

day. The punishment was the heavi

est the magistrate could impose un

der the law. A chauffeur caught ex

ceeding the speed limit could be fined

the same amount.

"This was the man's offense: He

induced a young woman to go to

Crown. Point, Ind., to marry him. There he had an accomplice who per

formed a bogus marriage. Two children were born to this couple in the

following two years and then the man, tiring of h!s wife, told her of

the deceit and turned her out of doors.

"For this outrage the law, accord

ing to Judge Going, permits a maxi

mum fine of $200 and costs. The

woman suffragists make freauent

reference to the one sldedness of man-made laws, and certainly here is a case where the masculine legislator

is shown at his worst. Such a mis

carriage makes legal justice a farce."

WE wish that Luther Burbank

could evolve a blackberry that wasn't

THE anti-kissing crusade may be O. K. but it depends entirely on the

age and pulchitrude of the kissee.

THE MINISTER'S BLESSING.

At some time or other we all have been edified or bored by the minister of the gospel, as the case may be who

because of his profession was selected

to deliver the invocation or give the

benediction in connection with some

event of a public nature, particularly

an event, which of its very nature i3

understood to be non-sectarian and

undenominational.

We were edified when he couched his prayer in words so broad, that the whole human brotherhood could

follow silently to the final amen;

when he addressed his supplication to Him, whom all, admitting the need for prayer, recognize as Su

preme.

e were bored when the man of

the cloth leading in prayer, showed

his ignorance or bigotry or possibly

both, by praying according to the

creed which he preaches from the pulpit. Our Christian ministers have

gone amiss on this score more often

than those of any other denomina

tion. They seemingly forget that the Jews, Unitarians and many others do

SECRETARY of Commerce and

Labor says $25 a week is enough and plenty to keep a family of six. What

do you feed them on Sec scraps?

A WOMAN novelist says "it takes

a clever woman to keep out of matrimony." Yes and it takes a mighty

cute woman to get into it too.

GETTOG UNDER THE HIDE. The very fact that there H so much noise over the attempt to clean up West Hammond indicates that the mayor is geting under the hide of the dive keepers there.

It will be noticed that there was very little noise about the dives so

Jong as osczynski let tham alone. Had he been content to lt them go on as they have been there would have been no trouble. But the minute the mayor announced his intention to revoke the licenses of the dive keepers, the most effective weapon he has, then there was a terrible hullabaloo. The mayor is arrested on the charge of graft, is charged with, tax

"MUST LIVE IN GARY." The Gary Tribune says: 'Following1 the order which went out some time ago that all employes of this division of the E., J. & E. must live In Gary, there has been a gradual immigration of workmen who have lived In Joliet and other cities and it Is estimated that before the present month is ended, there will be 200 men living here who formerly hjld Jobs on the road and lived in other cities. "It was stated by Superintendent John Kirk some time ago that the general order had gone out to the effect that all employes must live in Gary after July 1." "We don't like the sound of this. Lots of the E. J. & E. employes have their homes in South Chicago and vicinity. But no matter where they live, such an order has a tinge of paternalism about it that smacks of the old charges that used to be made against the town of Pullman." Calumet Record.

We are afraid that our neighbor

The Calumet Record, takes the Gary

Tribune's story too much to heart

In its eagerness to appear as th

"official organ" The Tribune ofte

gets as auinoritative as a pompou

chief clerk and it proceeds to mis

construe things. As every one who has lived in

railroad town knows, it is quite

necessary that the employes live near

their work. If engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen aren't within easy reach of a phone or the call boy a railroad isn't going to be run very successfully operated. It is no new regulation that has been is

sued in Gary as to where employes should live. It "is one fashioned after the customs and requirements of the business. If it smacked of paternalIsm or over-arrogancy you can bet that railroad people would be the first to show a corporation that it cannot go too far.

NEGRO VOTERS. According to the Indianapolis News, Lafayette has the smallest negro population of the Indiana cities. The negro population of the state is placed at 60,320. The negro votes of the state number 20,651. According to the News there are 7,666 negro males of voting age In Indianapolis. The negro votes in other cities of the state are placed aa follows: Evansvllle, 2,242; Terre Haute, 900; New Albany, 626; Jeff ersonville, 446; Richmond. 397; Muncie. 355; Michigan City, 2S7; Marlon, 265; South Bend. 225; Fort Wayne, 215, and Lafayette, 110. The above figures answer question put to the Journal frequently. Lafayette Journal.

Well the . Indianapolis News Is

wrong and If the Journal wants the facts we tell it that Hammond a larger Indiana city than Michigan City, Lafayette, Muncie or Marlon

has fewer than 25 negro voters.

THIS IS MY 52XD BIRTHDAY. Raymoad Polaoare Raymond Poincare. the French premier whose visit to the czar of Russia is now a leading subject of discussion In European chancelleries, was born in Bar-le-Duc, France, Aug. 20, 1860. He studied law and literature in Paris and took his degree as soon as he was of age. He was appointed secretary of the advocates' conference and became a friend and associate of M. Mellne and the late Jules Ferry. He served several times in various cabinets and has twice held the premiership. M. Poincare la regarded as one of the most distinguished and perhaps the most versatile figure in French public life, being a lawyer, philosopher, artist, writer and parliamentarian, and a member of the French academy.
