Old Gen. Apathy Is on the political fleck, eating peanuts but the deck isn't even warm. Here it is a little more than.- two months until a presidential election and except for a couple of convention flurries there has been little interest in politics in Lake rountv. Not in years has there been so little interest manifested in politics in a presidential year. Not even the organization of a new party seems to have aroused very much interest. The Roosevelt movement is not graining very much momentum and it is ' predicted in some quarters that Theodore Rosevelt will not get very many votes in Lake county. In the district there is but little Interest in the fact that there are to be

believed that John O. Bowers will get more than a scattering vote. The real fight will be between Crumpacker and Peterson. In the county it Is pretty generally conceded that the Bull Moosers, or what is left of them, will put a third

ticket in the field. This is to be done at the instigation of the democrats who believe that there will be enough of a defection from the republican ranks to elect some of the men on their ticket. But considering everything there is a woeful lack of interest in the coming election. General Apathy is in command everywhere. Unless something happens to galvanize the people into action it is expected that the vote this year will be the lightest that the

Mourners at the grave of the late Mr. Whiskey Row of West Hammond, who were formerly members of his disreputabl? households, had - bef fen-confine tTlemselves and their lamentations to I-llinois territory. Chief Auftgen does not find the sweepings of that village altogethor healthful, and he has given orders to "swat the fly." Pilgrimages from across the line to Hammond have been closely watched and the destinaton of each caravan noted. The large per cent of the undesirables have passed on to East Chicago, IndlanaH arbor and Gary. But those that linger will not be tolerated unless they conduct themselves within the law. When the dust that has been stirred up In the house-cleaning begins to settle it will be immediately removed by the vacuum process. This modern con

venience consists in reaching out and gathering them in. The suction is

generally so strong that it draws the filth right up through the tirte of the

courts to the deposit box, better known as the pen.

Initial proceedings in t'ae cleaning

of Hammond took place lust evening.

A raid was made upon a saloon on

Calumet avenue that is owned by Geo.

Fleck. No evidences of a disorderly house were discovered, but the police are aware that gnmblers frequent the place. A Mrs. Kane has sworn out a warrant to that effect and Fleck was arrested on it last evening. He was held until released on a $1,000 bond. The trial was set for this morning.

Miss Virginia Brooks Is exhibiting a degree of strenuosity that would do credit to Roosevelt. Last night she appeared before the Burnham Law and Order League and gave its membcri some suggestions regarding methods of

cleaning out crooked gangs of town officials. Over in Burnham, according to Manager Neal of the Burnham Land & Improvement Company, the town officials are going to attempt to foist a macadam pavement on the property owners on several Burnham streets at a cost of $1.10 a-square yard when the citizens know that they can lay an asphalt macadam pavement for $1.22 a square yard. The property owners have remon

strated in vain and the board of local improvements has indicated t,hat it is going ahead and authorize the inferior pavement n spite of the remonstrances. The people of Burnham are anxious

for improvements but thev sav thv

It is said that the conviction of Foss and Jaszczak is a great victory for the mayor, for the reason that It will now be impossible for either of these men to ever get a saloon license In West Hammond. v

STILL PLENTY

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 27. Is it possible to gain a senatorship in the state

of Pensylvania by the use of methods

that are strictly clean? According to Alexander P. Moore and Willtsm Flinn. Progressive leaders of Pittsburg, neither Boise Penrose nor Philander C. Knox nor Senator George T. Oliver gained his seat in the upper brsnch of Congress in a fashion that would be approved by any up-to-date school of

ethics. The Standard Oil company and other great protected interests, it is charged, have had much more to say in the naming of senators from the Keystone state than the people themselves. When it was suggested to Flinn that he go before the senate committee at Washington and tell what he knew concerning political corruption, of the

delegations in Pennsylvania. . I "Sure, I'll go," he said. "But when j I appear I want it to be with Senators Oliver, Senator Penrose, and others' who know something about campaign delegations in Pennsylvania.

"It would be enlightening to hear what they might tell regarding camualgn assessments on the liquor people and other corporations in this state in other years. The things have not been told, but they ought to be given to the public. If the truth were told it would be interesting reading and something over which the people might reflect."

Dome mucn iruit. Thera are still enough smells in the city to enable th(6 average person to closs his eyes and tell from which direction the wind is coming. The principal offenders are the fertlllier factories. The one connected with the Hirsch-Stein glue works smells to the heavens every time the wind veers around to the northwest

The rendering plant at Globe Station gives offense whenever the wind is from that direction. The company spent some money to alleviate this condition, but it does not always prevent the smells from escaping occasionally.

there will be revelations that will put West Hammond to shame. There were thirty present at the meeting. Needs a Cleanup. For instance it is said that an attempt was made to pull off a prizefight
