to this . city -would be- incalculable. Some of them might be enumerated as follows: . 1. The logical place for a city market is an interurban terminal for
the reason that interurbans are be
coming freight carriers and farmers are sending produce to market by in
terurban rather than by wagon.
Both the interurban terminal
and the city market must be centrally
located.
3. The interurban lines could help
to build an instftution that would not
only provide them with an adequate
terminal facilities but would promote
travel and the carrying of express
and freight.
4. The city could do its part to build the market and ought to have the rlght,trnder the franchise agreement, to a close supervision of the market. 5. If private capital in G3ry can
build a market and apparently make it a paying proposition the market terminal ought easily to be a paying

Were such a market to be managed
in a way that would gain the confidence of the public at large and the

BELATED PRAISE. The New York World gives belated
praise to Attorney General Wicker-
sham and President Taft for putting teeth in the Sherman law. President
Taft waa defeated because of his en
forcement of the law against great
trusts Bays the Muncie Press. These combinations would never have fi
nanced the split in the republican party except for the course of the president in using the Sherman law not as an instrumentality of political terrorism, but as a great ' statute formulated for the protection of the people. The World pictured President Taft as a creature of the special interests during the campaign. The prafse It gives the president now is too late to be creditable to the world.

A MARKET TERMINAL. Why not build a city market and
union fnterurban terminal at the same time? Why not have a municipal cold storage plant in connection and reduce the cost of living? Why not make it easy and inexpensive for the fanner to market his produce. Wre suggest that a some logical terminal point a hlock of ground be
condemned. This block should be so
situated that it would not only be ac
cessable to all of the interurban lines entering the city but that one street leading to the building be made a
free terminal entrance so that any in
terurban line desiring to enter the city could get to the terminal build
ing without difficulty.
We suggest that the terminal tracks be built down tne center of the building, which would cover the entire
block, and that the city market stalls
be built on either side

' PRAISES MISS BROOKS. Hammond. Ind., March 3.
Editor Times: I am truly glad thatt
some one has enough courage and sense of rig-ht to com to the defense of Virginia Brooks In her efforts in the interest of civic righteousness and pure municipal government for West Ham
mond. The writer has watched the deliberations and heroic efforts of this young woman along- that line and can see no good reason why any unbiased person can impugn her motives or ascribe any selfish designs in carrying on such a noble work. The untiring labor and great sacrifice of this gooa woman certainly deserves the approbation and help of all who favor law and order and social purity, and condemn crime and corruption as It existed under the old regime in West Hammond. The writer of this is owner of realty ln West Hammond and has been the vic
tim of misgovernment, having: bad his property ruthlessly destroyed, stolen
and carried away and an appeal to the
authorities was no more effectual than
trying: to wet a ducky by pourtng water on aim back. As a result of sucb maladministration a 59 foot tot on the Illinois aide would not sell for more
than one . half what the same would command on this side of the Tine. X ask
why this discrimination? Echo answers
why. X have drawn ray conclusions and leave others to do th same.
West Hammond seeme to have found
herself at last under the present gov
ernment and with a continuance of the same, has a bright future with, the
proper spirit of uplift and purity ln its administration. But let the verdict of
the people b unbiased and impartial and let credit be given where due and proper charity extended where there
were mistakes (for we all make them)
but Miss Brooks was certainly the prime mover in this great movement for the betterment of social and indus
trial conditions ln West Hammond.

They well know our present garnishee law is a safe protector standing safely between the merchant and the one he has extended credit to, safely protecting the latter. But enact a garnishee law that will stand so that a merchant can garnishee for an account that he had extended credit for for necessaries of life, to the amount of ten per cent of the amount due at any regular pay day.
