where they must be decent at least and not be a menace to the lives of others. It takes courage to come out fearlessly in public print and
the papers that do so ought to be
generously supported financially and morally by the people. I am highly gratified to see the uplift movement taking a new hold In the second greatest city, In the T'nited States. Chicago has been the scene of some of the awfullest degrdation in its vice centers. I have lived there over twenty-five years and It Is a great source of gratification to me to see that there are men and women who are determined to renew the fight for purity with greater zeal. Much has been accomplished, but there is a great deal more to be done, that ought and must be done. AVhat a blessed thing It would be to see the great metropolis of the west, a purer, safer city.

WAR WITH MEXICO ? The news dispatches from Washington and Beverly indicate that the national administration believes itself confronted by the possible necessity of extensive armed intervention
by this country in Mexico for the
purpose of restoring peace there. The public has been somewhat startled thereat. It had thought that danger past.
The turbulent condition of affairs In Mexico Is a matter of common
knowledge. The country is being harried by bands of revolutionists
and bandits, and the Madero govern
ment has thus far been unable to
suppress them. Possibly Americans
who have remained in Mexico are in
danger, but long ago they were warn
ed to obtain safety by returning to the United States. In this situation the American people as a whole can
see no reason for war with Mexico
with its inevitable sacrifice of lives and money for armed intervention
of sufficient extent to restore order
would probably be resisted by 'the
Mexican people and that would mean war in effecT if not in name. The public realizes, moreover, that pressure is being brought to bear upon the
President by financial interests whose
heavy Mexican investments are im
periled. And neither in that can it
see a good reson for such intervention
as seems to be contemplated.
The Americans on this side of the
Mexican border must be protected
Those in the interior of Mexico who
are non-combatants must be assured
the immunities of non-combatants
But if this country is drawn into war
with Mexico, the cause must be more
compelling than any that has yet ap
pea red, or it will be in opposition to
the wishes of the people of the United
States. And they, would surely find the means to make their resentment
effective.
met avenue, in particular, to come to the support, of what has become known as the "Calumet. avenue project." Those who reside on Calumet avenue should not make the mistake that the State Line street property owners have made. On State Line street
they paid for the opening and extension of the street and then got no benefit from the improvement for the reason that the street was never
paved. Now that the residents along Calumet avenue have paid for the widening of the street let them not
weary of well doing but Insist that the street be paved by the county at once. WHEN HAMMOND GETS TO BE A CITY OF 30,000 INHABITANTS THE COUNTY WILL NO LONGER
PAVE STREETS WITHIN ITS BOUNDARIES. THAT IS THE LAW.
NOW HAMMOND WILL SOON BE IN THE 30.000 CLASS AND THEN SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AS THAT WHICH IS CONTEMPLATED ON CALUMET AVENUE WILL HAVE TO HE DONE BY THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ABUTTING PROPERTY. Yesterday the viewers on the Calumet avenue project, emissaries
from the county commissioners, came to Hammond to look over the propos
ed improvement.
They were disposed to be liberal
with the people of Hammond in the matter of their recommendations. They saw at once that the great east side needs an outlet to (he north.
They declared hat if a road is built that it ought to be a 4 0 foot and not a 24 foot road on account of its im
portance as a highway.
While these viewers believe these
things they want so other authority
for their action in this matter. They want the people of Hammond and Whiting to indicate in no uncertain manner that this street ought to be built through to Lake Michigan
without a jog and without -i crook.
It is up to the Hammond Chamber
of Commerce and the Whiting Com
mercial Club to address a letter to these men citing their reasons for wanting this improvement made.
The viewesr are in the attitude of jury in a lawsuit. They want to
hear both sides of the question and
then after due deliberation they will
render their decision in the matter.
The viewers are John A. Donnaha
and Elmo Mann. They are both men
of big, liberal ideas and they are dis
posed to do all they can for the great
industrial region which is doing so
much for the county.

Two years ago Vermont cast 54,000 votes." of which 17,425 were democratic. The total vote this year was 65,000, an increase of 20 1-2 per cent, but the democratic vote was only 20,50, an increase of only 16 3-4
per cent. Had the democrats polled
