True, the local field is pretty well
worked over, and easy picking" is not as abundant as at some times;
still, Lafayette has acquired a repu
tation over the state and in Illinois as the most wide open town in the
central west, and this fact attracts the fraternity. Not only this, but the gambling establishments are
privileged to work all incoming
trains. Farmer boys or would-be
village sports, from miles around, are taken care of before they have had
time to even think of rashly "blowing" their substance for peanuts or
red pop.

small enough or large enough to absorb the surplus of the average man on a salary.
To the person wrho is saving for a home we recommend Kenwood property for

Nowhere in Hammond can property be purchased that has the future that
Kenwood has. Nowhere are increases in value more certain. While the property has

f intersection of Calumet avenue and

bor r.anal.
The East Chicago company has offered to give the city the property
if it will pay the cost of building the dockage ;a matter involving $20,000
or more. The city of East Chicago
was recently compelled to 'buy the
property for its city dock and then had to build the dockage besides.
.It may be pointed out by the im
practical dreamer that the city al
ready has dock property on the Calu
met river at the intersection of Columbia avenue. But the fact
should be remembered that while this property was purchased for park and dockage purposes it will be years
before the river will be made navigable up to that point. On the other hand the west branch of the Indiana Harbor canal has already been made navigable. It will be possible for the city to rent out dockage space to incoming ships within six months after the deal is
mond are live enough to grasp their
opportunity.
Think what it would mean to have
ships come right up to Calumet ave
nue and deposit tnelr passengers
there. Why it is not out of the realm
of possibilities to beleve that a regu
lar steamship service would be es
tablished between Hammond and
other lake ports, - possibly for pleas
ure trips or possibly for both freight and passenger service. " f -
People seem tolack imaginations.
The citizens of Hammond have prov
en their unprogressiveness by their
failure to provide an ornamental lighting system In the business district and now, for pity sakes, are they
going to overlook the opportunity to make a free lake port of Hammond
for the want of $20,000?
There may be legal technicalities'
to be overcome. T.hese must be over-. come in some way, Remember that
Hammond once swept away the man '
whose habit it is to raise technicali
ties and actually subsidized several '
industries in order either to get them to locate here or to remain.
There waa no legal justification for
doing so. The people's money was deliberately taken out of the treasury and placed in strong boxes of local
industrial concerns.
But no one complained. Ham
mond was saved from being a desert
ed city. It passed through the only great crisis in its history. The end justified the means although any one
could have gone into court and enjoined the appropriation of the money.
Now Hammond faces the oppor
tunity to become known as a great
lake port. The beginning is to get
a dock on navigable waters and then
expand the municipal dockage.
Why when the great inland water
way system of the region is fully developed Hammond will have more miles of desirable dockage than any
other city in the region.
Of course Indiana Harbor will be
the lake port, unless Wolf Harbor is opened but Hammond will have the
most dockage. The present city administration can not afford to pass ud thenresent onnortunity to get a
municip&J dock.
Excuses will not go. The people
of Hammond will not accept "WE
CAN T" in this instance any more than it accepted it in the case of the
failure of a reactionary council to adopt a system of ornamental street
lighting. The time to act is now
ON ITS WAY. Joliet and several Illinois cities
have thrown overboard the old
parties in municipal affairs and have elected the candidates on a citizens'
ticket. They are chosen from all parties. The day of the single party dotmnatlon in local government is passing. The new movement has a
good start in Illinois and some day it
will get startel in Indiana.
GERMANY ALSO COMPLAINS.
The kaiser of Germany is said to be greatly shocked at the increasing tendency toward frivolity in music
in the fatherland. Fake music teach
ers, swindling advertisements and
the general unhealthy conditions of
the musical world, especially in Gert
many, were exposed at the first In
ternational Congress of Music Teachers which has just closed in Berlin. It
is claimed that the prevailing epi
demic of operetta music in the large
cities is greatly responsible for the If . -l-LLLfJ ! . " 11
deterioration in musical taste. This
has caused a consequent coarseness end vulgarity in toubIc, even in the more -intelligent middle class, where
something better might be expected. The cultivation of the Bo-called
lighter mu6ic, the operetta and moving pictures, finds approval, because all sorts of music written for today
are forgotten tomorrow. . Evidently Germany has the same complaint on account of the frothy inane musical composition as is found in this coun
try.
Yes, that is the right position. Our
Washington neighbor the Star takes exception to the Herald's calling for
"silencer" for the Vice President,
saying he speaks for the democratic party1 as Vice President and not for
the administration. But that is our chief complaint against Mr. Marshall.
It is a. hideous idea that a Vice President should be permitted unrebuked
to go around spouting the sort of froth emitted by Haywood and Ettor,

If the discrimination empllyed on the occasion referred to by the Herald unfavorably reflects upon a distinguished ofTica (the Vice President) tha occupant of that office has ne one to blame but himself. He (Vice President Marshall) might have shared commendation with the Governor who strengthened himself In popular teem by knowing what to say and Just how to say it. The Brooklyn Eagle.
