MARSHALL . AND FRENCH LICK. That most delightful and unashamed EXPONENT OF INCONSISTENCY GOV. THOMAS RILEY MARSHALL, has just given another inimitable evidence of his art. Marshall has summarily ordered his attorney general, he of Gary blind-pig fame to put a quietus on the new race track in Porter county, or by the Lord Harry he will send the state militia hence In jig time.
There is to be no violation of the
versation. He Buffered in silence and
only complained that he had been deceived. By a curious Irony of fate
that man if he had consented would
have succeeded William McKinley,
but he declined the nomination for
the Vice Presidency in 1900 and Theo
dore Roosevelt took it. His name was Cornelius N. Bliss. New York

A lot of people are skeptical about
the stories and announcements that the Baldwin locomotive works and
the Schleslnger steel plant will start
next year. Only a look at our busy mills, the way orders pour in and the way prices are Bhooting up ought to convince them that If ever there were favorable times in the steel business those tlmea are with us now. They have been the best in our history. It
is in times like these that the new industries spring up.

went away wondering why the people of Gary stands for some of the rotten phases of its municipal gov

HOW ABOUT THIS KUHLMAN? When the asphalt macadam pave
ment on South Hohman street in
Hammond was laid by the McGovern company it was required to enter Into
a contract to the effect that it would
keep this pavement in repair for a period of five years.
When the street needed repair the
company was to be notified and if the
repairs were not made in a reason
able time the city was to make them
and the cost was to be charged to the McGovern company.
At that time there were strong in
fluences at work in the interest of
Westrumlte paving. It was only the insistence of the property owners that resulted in the adoption - of asphalt macadam which has . now
come to be generally used In Chicago.
'After the property owners had
forced the city to put in asphalt macadam on South Hohman street there were hostile interests which saw to It that McGovern gave the city an iron clad contract.
Several months ago the Hammond
board of public works requested the city attorney to notify the McGovern
company to make the necessary repars on the pavement. The board has therefore washed ots hands of
the affair.
Now it is up to the street commis
sioner to go ahead and order the patching of this street. Why is it that this street is permitted to remain in is present condition for months at a time.
It may be a good advertisement for
Westrumite but it is rather an in
convenience to the public. Besides the fact should be noted that it 13
only the two north blocks and no other part of the street that has
worn out. "
It is about time that somebody was
taking the bull by the horns and ord
ering mat street repaired, it , is a
good pavement, the best that was ever laid in Hammond, but It needs to be repaired to prevent the people of Hammond from being jolted to
death when they pass over it.
