WAS NOT INTENTIONAL PANIC. The letter sent by J. P. Morgan & Co. to the Pujo committee Is a most interesting, and vigorous presentation of the views of that firm on the whole series of great banking questions, involved in the committee's Inquiry. That there is plenty of room for controversy about some of those questions goes without saying; but there ar? two jjpints insisted on lu the Morgan letter upon -which there
is little or no difference of intelli
gent opinion. . The first is that the fundamental, liability to panic lies In
the glaring imperfections of our banking system. "The second relates
to the causation of. the panic of 1907
That this was primarily due to the
strain created by "extraordinary
business 'booms' in this country, Great Britain and Germany, as well as adventitious and enormous wastes of capital, such as had been caused
by the San Francisco fire and the
Russo-Japanese war," is the universal
judgment of competent' observers;
and the Morgan letter uses strong
language in characterizing the no
tion that the panic was due to "the
machinations of certain powerful
men:"
"We regret that a . belief so in
credible, so abhorrent and so harm' ful to the country should for a mo

A SUGGESTION. In order that the members of the Indiana Societyof Chicago, should they come to Hammond, carry away a good impression about the., well lighted streets we would suggest that the city -fathers . opposed to ornamental street lighting, parade the main thoroughfares with five candle power lanterns, on the occasion of the visit.
THERE seems to he a conflict of opinion among Chcago employers , as tc whether a girl standing alone can

The talk of the relation between women's wages and prostitution is greatly overdone. An honest girl will resort to work in a kitchen before she will sell all that Is dear to a good woman, and the love of finery
and excitement leads ten girls astray

WHAT HAMMOND NEEDS.
V In our efforts to provide" for the living, we are overlooking the
growing needs for our dead. The
limitations of Oak Hill cemetery in Hammond, which is .the popular burying ground in North township, are already in sight. But enterprise, prompted by speculation, can be relied upon to meet the future needs in this respect in due time. There is however a demand right now for a public mausoleum, and the surprise is, that one has not been erected before this. There is need for one both for temporary and permanent uses. The origin of setting aside the remains of those whose memory i3 cherised, 13 lost in history. It is a
custom which has at all times been a
READ AND BEWARE.
Local aspirants to diplomatic posts
should read the following which we
clip from the writing of that versa
tile feminine. La Marquise de
Fontenoy: ,
"Thus, when the ambassador presents his credentials, he is escorted to the palace of the chief of state by an escort of cavalry. "Time honored usage and thj international comity of nations require that he "tip" the members of the escort to the tune of aevere.l hundred dollars. "The same unwritten laws demand that on such occasions as these a still larger lump sum be given for distribution among. the servants of the palace."
A few local democrats emulating the examples of their distinguished Hoosier neighbors, the Hon. John
Lamb and Major Menzies, are willins to serve their country in its
diplomatic service. To them we is

the Markce's ebullition.
their plans accordingly. The fact that the Erie railroad chose High
lands, instead of Hammond, for its
new yards and shops site is due to the fact that its Hammond yards are
in the electrification zone and the road desires to get outside of that
zone wih its future development.
The same is true of the Lake Shore
and Pennsylvania railroads which have plans for the construction of
yards east of Gary. With a surprising appreciation of the great prospects forthe development In the
Calumet region -most of these, roads
now plan to build their yards where they will not interfere with the building up of cities.
The Michigan Central railroad is
the one exception, tl has purchased
yards site just east of Gibson and
extending almost to the Gary line.
If it carries out its plan to con
struct yards in the site now chosen it
will erect an impassible barrier which will prevent the development
of the city of Indiana Harbor, a part
of East Chicago, to the southward
The 'Michigan Central too should
be persuaded to build its yards and
shops outside of the zone of electrifi
cation. The people who are employ
ed in railway terminals can easily
find transportation to their places of
residence in the cities. ,
The Gibson yards and shops are
and always will be an insuperable ob
stacle to the development of . East
Chicago southward. They should
have been built farther east.
It Is probable had the construction
of these yards been delayed for a few years more that they would not have been placed so that they would not
obstruct as important a thoroughfare
as orsythe avenue and prevent thousands "of people from getting out
of the city and into the suburbs to
live
The railroads should be acquainted
with the fact that the various com
mercial and civic organizations o
the region look with askance at any
future yards development that will
sever arteries of traffic and close
streets that lead to the country dis
tricts
And we welcome your invitation as
n opportunity for us to state that,
to the extent of our observation and experience, there is not even a vestige
truth in the idea that, in whole
or in any part, the financial convul
sion of 1907 was brought on through
the design of any man or men."
There was a time when it was
fashionable in financial circles to
peak of the 1907 trouble as "the
Roosevelt panic." The Evening Post
was as emphatic in pronouncing this
Wall street cry baseless as It is in tc-
garding the.idea?of- "the? Morgan

jAise who passes up a town where the

women as well as men. Naturally a man has more patience with another
man's morals than a woman has, for he recognizes the double standard of morality one for woman, another for a man. The grossly wealthy merchants
who are called as witnesses can make an investigation as much of a farce as
ever did the Standard Oil company , or the tobacco trust, and after the investigation is over will one penny
more be added to the weekly pittance of the girls who are every day giving of their youth and strength to the building up of great fortunes?
I am overwhelmed with compassion
for these girls and women who suffer from the great injustices of the present system. They have no recourse.
Is it Just that the girl who lives at
home is paid $3 per week less than
the girl working beside her who lives In a hall room? Often the expenses of the former In helping toward the upkeep of her young brothers and sis
ters are heavier by far than those of the latter. But the question is: does the department store business need a weekly donation of $3 from either
class of girl? It is a significant fact that boys in industry who live at home are not discriminated against in any such fashion.
If a girl of 21 or over could express
herself by means of the ballot me-
thinks her value In the Industrial
world would rise perhaps to more
than the $9 minimum suggested. A
vote is a very potent factor in this world of strenuous competition.
