senate:
"Mr. KENYON. I wish the Senator, before he closes, would Illuminate the subject of just how the river and harbor bill is formulated. I have watched It for a good many years outside of Congress, and have -watched the fight In the House of the present Senator from Ohio (Mr. Burton against the extravagances of the river and harbor bill. "For instance, here are appropriations for a large number of creeks at different places. Here la an appropriation for Toms River, in New Jersey. How do we ascertain that a thousand dollars is going to help the navigation of Toms River? Here is an appropriation of $1,500 for Pishing Creek, X. C. How do we determine whether that appropriation is for navigation or to make the creek really wnat its name implies? I might make the same Inquiry as to Swift Creek, In North Carolina, for which $500 is appropriated. How does the Committee on Commerce ascertain that these appropriations for creeks all over the country are to help navigation?"

THE TIMES in acknowledging and
printing the communications from
subscribers in answer to its recent
women's suffrage editorial does so be
cause it believes in presenting both
sides of the moot question. While by
no means denouncing suffrage for women neither does this paper feel disposed to admit that the women
have no merit in their contentions. It admits that the suffrage is a deep problem and that the women have every right to be heard and will be
glad to publish all communications
dealing with this question as with any other of vital interest to the welfare of the public. THE TIMES does
cot believe in burying its head in the

The most recent exhibition of
spleen was an article in the Post
in which it reported the fact that the Gary lawyers are now to try their cases in Crown Point instead of Hammond. Now any lawyer knows that
such an announcement could not
possibly be true.
A lawyer will invariably try his
cases where he can get the quickest
action. The court dockets at Ham
mond are congested with litigation.
Even the Hammond lawyers go to Crown Point In the cases that they
want to hurry to trial.
Lake County lawyers would be delighted if the Gary attorneys would file all of their cases in Crown Point. It would enable- them to catch up with the docket in other Lake County courts and would relieve the tremendous pressure of litigation that has seriously Interfered with the transaction of the business of the
court here.
Hammond has two and a half
superior courts, which certainly ought to be sufficient if Gary will
only try its cases in Crown Point's court and a half. It should be re
membered that the distribution of
business In the courts is controlled
entirely by the capacity of the courts
to dispose of cases.

has observed the situation correctly.
The statement that the "Hammond
attorneys are now claiming that the
continuous term of court at. Crown
Point is unnecessary and uncalled
for," is an absolute untruth. Ham
mond attorneys favored the continuous court at Crown Point because it
was hoped that It would relieve the

Virginia Brooks, the young woman
who figured so prominently in the vice crusade at West Hammond, has
entered the political field. Her cam

her.

in campaigning. "Too much of the

There may be a good deal more in

Washington, . D. C, March 1. The Presidential inauguration will be the big event of the week, overshadowing all else in interest and importance
banish'80 far as the American public is concerned. The national capital is count
ing upon lau.uuu visitors next Tuesday, wnen wooarow w uson, uemocrai, will succeed William H. Taft, Republican, as President of the United States and Thoma R. Marshall will take the office of Vice President.
The programme arranged for the pageant and ceremony is virtually the same as that of other inaugurations of recent years. The two big features
of the day will be th induction of the President and the Vice President into
office at the Capitol and the parado that will follow these ceremonies. The programme for the ceremonies that are to accompany the swearing in of the President and Vice President starts the day's ceremonies with the inauguration of the Vic President in the Senate chamber. Immediately after Mr. Marshall takes on the title of Vice President, the persons admitted to the Senate chamber will proceed to the outdoor stand on the east front of the Capitol, where Mr. Wilson will take the oath of office and from which he will deliver his Inaugural address. Then the marchers will fall in line and the parade up Pennsylvania avenue will begin. Rivaling In public Interest the inauguration parade of Tuesday will be "Suffrage" parade and pageant on the preceding day. Committees that hava been at work for weeks on arrangements for the suffrage parade believe that the demonstration will be the most remarkable ever seen In any country In advancement of a cause. The parade down Pennsylvania avenue will be In
five divisions and will include representatives of equal suffrage organizations
n every State. Many floats and picturesque features will be included. While
the parade Is passing there will be given an elaborate pageant on the steps of the Treasury building. Illustrating the birth and progress of the battle of women for the franchise.
