A CHIME AGAINST NATURE. Northern Indiana pastors are discussing a movement to enlist the aid of every ministerial association in the state in an effort to secure the enactment of a law which will make It necessary for prospective bridal
couples to submit a certificate of physical and mental fitness for the
married state. I heir eaorts are
commendable. i The other day in Hammond we noticed a young woman get on a street car with three children one of them a babe at arms. The mother wore glasses. Her face was broken out shockingly. Each of the children including the babe were branded in the same way as the unfortunate mother with the taint of an unmentionable disease. If ever there was a crime committeed against humanity it was when the diseased father inflicted himself upon that poor woman. Unto the third and fourth generation was marked on the faces of th much-to-be-pltied progeny. If it Is not the province of teachers.
MAYOR HAMMOND NEEDS. Sofcie day Hammond is going to tire of plugging along at a snail's pace eating the dust of such progressive cities as East Chicago and Gary; it is going to tire of a lethargic administration the one aim of which is to keep down the tax rate. And then it is going to get a third rail mayor. This old town will have such an awakening as it has never known before. The mayor will be a real executive, a real administrator of affairs.
He will think less of policy and more
of getting things done.
He will ride rough-shod over the reactionaries; those who refuse to aid in the widening of streets and
those who refuse to donate a short
strip of road in order that human life
may be safeguarded.
He will open up the State line to
traffic and relieve the congestion on
Hohmn street. He will create a new north and south artery of traffic by
the opening of Sohl and Johnson
streets. j
He will build municipal docks
along Calumet avenue NOW at
trifling cost and they will be worth half a million dollars to the cltv
twenty-five years hence. He will devise some means of giv
ing the city of Hammond an adequate
and pure supply of water. He won't
wait until hundreds die of typhoid
fever or until the state forces some
action either.
He will force the IMMEDIATE

thing to correct this terrible blight ' instruction of a deep sewer system
what is their province. A letter
from the ministerial association at Elkhart says: "It is the conviction of this association that tho time ia ripe for steps to be taken to put a check, at least, to the marriage of the physically unfit. Intelligent farmers do riot plant diseased seed. Grapes are not to begalhered from thorns. If society is to be saved or improved we must begin with the parents. "For like begets like, defects, even traits, are transmissible, and society will have taken a decided step in direction of self-preservation when it determines hy law that tho physlclally unfit, and morally so as well, can not enter Into the solemn covenant of marriage. Such restriction might work hardship in a few individual cases, but it would mean a higher personal and social standard. We need not repeat here all that is being said on the sub.iect of scientists, physicians. philanthropists and Christian ministers the world over. "Our desire is to secure your help in securing eglslation making it obligatory for those about to be married to secure a certificate of physical health, without which It woud. be Illegal for any justice of the peace or minister to perform the marriage ceremony."

Park lands will be bought NOW

The annexation of the territory
south of Hammond to the Little Calumet river will be brought about
by a campaign of education that will convince the property owners there of the great advantage to them of a
union with Hammond. The local street railway will b
compelled to double track it -Ham
mond lines, for only by so doing can
it give service, and it will also be
compelled to give service to all parts
of the city.
The South Shore lines will be in
duced to extend the Indiana Harbor
East Chicago feeder line to Hammond
over Johnson street. The construe
tion of the extension of Calumet ave

necessary.
In short before this real live mayor
has ended his term of office he wi
have the city in debt jam up to the

THE PRICE OF COAL, What makes the cost of coal so high? Isn't there some way for the people of Swuth Bend and the rest of the people of the United States to find out. . Coal is a subject that comes close home to us all. We have to use It in this country or literally freeze to death. To the lack of it, or the shortness of it, is to be blamed many cases of sickness pneumonia and tuberculosis. South Bend Times.
w nt makes the cost of coal so

coal was cheaper.

THE THANKSGIVING SPIRIT
YOU OUGHT TO SEE OURS.
The person who stands on the
street corner looking around for something to gossip about or to find
fault with can always find what he is looking for. But what a life he
lives. His soul shrivels and withers until it is shown in his manners and
looks. It becomes sour, misanthropic,
whining. He passes from bad to worse and sees no good In anybody. His taxes are always too high, no
matter how low they may be, and he cusses his neighbor because his
neighbor i3 prosperous and enjoys
life. In fact, he hates himself, he is a menace to a town's properity, a foe
to God and no good to the devil.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT. Hammond must have a fine Y
C. A. building.
The head of a great public service
corporation said the other day: "We are doing our level best to give the
rublic the perfect service it requires. We have made many changes in our
force of employes in an effort to get men who will do just as we want them. But we have to deal with the human element.
"Rules are of no avail when men
persist in breaking them. Instructions do no good if they are not followed out. A system fails if it is not
carefully adhered to."
The human element is a thing
with which every man had to deal who employes men. Sometimes the services of a man are secured who so nearly comes up to the require
ments that the human element is practically eliminated. The man's efficiency is 100 percent.
Now it must be a matter of inter
est to the employers of men in a com
munity ike this to know that condi
tions surround the daily lives of them that will end to promote proficiency, that will end to eliminate the human element. A young man of good habits who
married and paying for a home is more likely to be a hundred percent man than the young fellow who spends his week's salary in riotous living or on Saturday night sprees that beget Monday morning headaches and reduced efficiency. A riot in the Standard Steel Car district means a tremendous increase in the human element in the plant the next day. A deadened mentality may be responsible for an accident tht costs the company thousands of
dollars. I These things go to prove that it is to the interest of the employer to in-, terest himself in the .welfare of his men even after they leave the plant. It means higher efficiency while they are at work. P.ecause of its tendency to elimi
nate the human element the Young Men's Christian Association is the most valuable asset a community can have. A banker could well afford to make every one of his employes a member of Buch an organization. It would not only increase the moral tone of the institution but it would make keener and brighter men of the entire force. Bank clerks lead a sedentary life.
The gymnasium and the. swimming tank would make new men of them. The time they spent in the Young Men's Christian Association would eae no excuse for spending time in saloons and pool rooms or on the street corner. So it is all around.
There is not a single manufactur
ing concern in Hammond that could not afford to contribute liberally towards the elimination of the human eement among its employes; that
woud not find a liberal donation to
such an institution returned four fold
in the Increased efficiency of its men
We repeat Hammond must have
a Y. M. C. A. building.

Three stars, fringed hops and juniper berries formed the background. Mrs. Coldbottle was charmingly attired in a Charlotte Rousse hobble suit spangled with fringed maraschinos
overlapping creme de menthe chantilly surmounted by Edelweiss. Chiffon de Paquin. through ribbed chiffon beaded with olive blossoms, was the view from the rear. Mrs. Bud Wyser was cunningly arrayed in an Argentine tango culway which was the same in front as in back. Miss Hazel Nutt wore a charmeuse skirt fringed with squirrel
tails and bordered with oak leaves. Her wnlst was a cross between a sweater effect and a sleeveless rowing jacket. The punch bowl was ably presided over by Hennery Coldbottle, assisted by Bud Wyser and the Duke of Bass Ale. Hennery stood steadily at the bowl for six hours, excepting once when he fell into it. He was equal to the occasion, however, and soon appeared in another full dress suit. A INMOST time for the newspapers to head their front pages with the useless and never-paid-attentior.-to streamer:
"Do your Xmas shopping early." ANDY CARNEGIE now proposed to
pension all ex-presidents. If Andy would only spend a few millions for the benefit of some of his poverty-stricken and crippled steel workers we could look with better favor on him. Bye and bye Andy will be wanting to pension the government. We hope ,that that none of the ex-pres. take any of Andy's handouts. IN reporting a social function the other day a Gary paper said that it was " a most fashionable one, one of the first of the 'dressy' occasions of the season." This is nice. "We are glad
that the Gary ladies are gradually becoming "dressy." It also added that a luncheon was served, the "menu being kept to the color scheme of the day." It must have been rather tought eating the color scheme, but as the paper remarks, "The scene was one of brilliant color and life." Why not klnemacolor?

No better workers than the women were at the command of the AntiI'rohibition League. All day pretty and handsomely gowned members of the fair sex stood at the polls -HXinjEr and cajoling- voters to cast their brillot for a 'wet' state and local option, and their efforts in countless cases met with success. In addition the women themselves made it a point to vote against prohibition."

they were also handsomely painted
