CREDIT TO HAMMOND POLICE
Although the city of Hammond has
one of the most efficient police forces in Northern Indiana and has to its credit tho capture of scores of big crooks the Chicago police and the Chicago newspapers are reluctant to
give that city the credit.
Assuming an air of metropolitan
superiority they assume that if a big crook is captured in a small town it is aa accident and not due to any
particular efficiency on the part of
the police.
Yesterday Patrollman Mike Zerich
took into custody one of the most notorious criminals that have ever been captured in America. The man was Peter Maletln who has operated
in all parts of the middle west. Uncle
Sam has been chasing the fellow two
year3. His stunt wasto cut one of th
ciphers from a bill, place it on a ten dollar bill and make a hundred dollar
casenote out of it.
Now the Chicago papers give Cap
tain Porter of the United States secret service the credit for making
this important capture. It so hap
pens that Maletln was captured and
the extent of his criminality estab
lished before Porter saw the man.
Captain Porter may find it advisa
ble to make people in general believe that he is the nost active little
6leuth this side of Washington, D. C
but the facts are that the entire
credit for the detection and arrest of
Maletln belong to an East Hammond
saloon keeper and a wide awake police officer. When the real facts are known by the people of Hammond it i3 rather nauseating to read in tha Chicago papers that Captain Porter has made an important arrest at Hammond. A secret service officer who was "the real goods" would not attempt to add to (he luster of his own crown at the exepnse of the police force of a small town. Especially when it is so rare that a small town has an efficient police force.
GOSSIP Is all right if you only

Bure you don't call your neighbor a
"good thing" or he might resent it.
QUITE a little difference between
fame and notoriety but the bull
one is mighty fine advertising.

TWO Chicago cops were forced to
climb a tree by an elephant. Well
some cops have to get away with a
little exercise once in a while.
The Columbia avenue bridge, built
four or five years ago but only used
recently, is rusting out. Its appear-
nce is anything but attractive and
gives the city a slovenly appearance.
The Calumet avenue bridge is aj
fightful looking thing and Its life
will be reduced by several years ow
ing to the lack of paint. The new
Hohman street bridge, built at a I
cost of $65,000 needs paint.
It is about time that the county

WHY A THIRD TICKET
To the Editor:
The voters of Lake county have for
weeks been the submissive recipients of arguments pro ami con In relation to the question of placing in the field
third party ticket. In the heat of
this strife and rlvalship within the ranks of the once so cohesive republican party it is only natural that some of the reasons advanced have been one-sided and the voter acordingly re
ceived a somewhat distorted view. Con
sidering the question one of vital Im
portance, not only for this coming campaign, but also for the future, I be
lieve that the interested parties should
keep cool long enough to apply to it sound logic and Judgment. My nonpartisan views on that now burning question are that it would be a great mistake, a retroflex movement, a step
that every good republican in Lake
county would regret. The members of
the regular republican party In the county Of Lake are Just as patriotic and just as broad in their views on
political issues as the bull mooscrs and
they are displaying more genuine pa
trlotlsm insofar that they are seeking
to keep the party as a united and or
ganized body. If two tickets are put in
the field here it will be a bitter strife
between the .two wings of the republl
can party, the result of such a strife
Is obvious and clear even to the per
son who hates to acknowledge it be
forehand.
The enormous undertaking of found
ing a new national party should only
be entered upon when some really
great cause fires the national indlgna
tion and no man or body of men have the right to buld up artificial causes,
misleading the great mass of the peo
ple and the gigantic combat for .su
premaey should be waged for principles only and not for place. Logis and
sound reasoning Is the safest guidance for the individual and for the nation
and if there Is found to be an unreal
ity and lack of vital force and justness In the claims of those who carry the new party banner, the people should
speak accordingly, it Is an easy task
for the unscruplous passions which
political contest arouses to gather false
testimony, rumors and stories of cor ruptlon and thereupon construct i
damning impeachment of the opposing
forces. The new party leaders with
Roosevelt at the head maintain that the regular republican party with Taft as the leader no longer represents the people, has become useless and should be regrouped In some new organism.
seemingly forgetting that it took six long years of Intense work to construct and build up the republican party and
contending with apparently earnest
ness that It can be wrecked in the course of no time. Fersonallv. I do
not believe any fair minded republican,
progressive Or Just plain republican
wants to see the old party go under
and glancing at th. numerous tomb
Stones In the. political graveyard be
neath which sleep In peace and com
fort the corpses of the various new
parties of, the past, there is hardly any
danger of an immediate execution
The real progressives believe that
the republican party In iself is a pro
gressive party, that , those honestly
righting for progressive principle have the best opportunity to do 9
with the party making It adapt Itself
to new principles and new issues.
It is the slogan of the bull moos
party, let the people rule, but in m estimation a man has go to be might
bUnd if he does not comprehend tha
Mr. Roosevelt rules the new progres
sive party and If there ever was a ma
who was entitled to be called dictator,
ro is the one. But regardless of the
position a voter takes as to the presl
dentlal candidates, so far as the third
ticket in Lake county is concerned
there should be only- one course for
the republican and new party men to
follow. If the bull rhoosers are sin
cere, are honestly working for a nobl
cause and high moral principles, they
should at least understand that su
principles can best be advocated and
supported through a united party. H. C. M.
SCIENTISTS produce artificial
daylight. Good. Let some of it be
turned on the puzzling question of "What has the republican party ever done to Charley Davidson that he should kick over to the bull
moosers?"
