BLAMES THE PEAHEN. Now, by all the gods! but we're getting ashamed of the sex. Man's cowardice Is even extending to the lower orders in life. A Philadelphia fhyslcfan Is bemoaning the loss of sentimental peahen, a pet, which eloped with a peacock from neighbor's place. Advertising and searching resulted in finding the abductor, but not the gentle peahen. The brute was discovered prospecting for a breakfast in the vicinity with a shamed look on his face. The woman did it of course.

ARE those suspicions coming true? Secretary Bryan announces that "the business of conducting the government is not as hard as one imagines."

WHAT AILS HAMMOND ? There is just one section of Hammond that is adequately drained by sewers; that is the section between the state line and the Monon tracks and between the Grand Calumet river and the south city limits of the city. The sewer system of the north side is nothing more than a makeshift. State street east of Oakley avenue is being hindered in Its development as a business street because of the fact that the modern business block must have deep basements and the sewers are on top of the ground. The double tracking of the street .car line on State street and One-Hundred and Fiftieth street in Hammond is being delayed until the sowers are built. The paving of the extension of Calumet avenue to the northward, an improvement that affects the whole east side of Hammond, is being held up because of a lack of sewers. An adequate sevter system is the foundation upon which every city is constructed. Hence the city of Hammond is without a foundation except in certain restricted areas. The Gogebic Iron Co. would never have located in Hammond had it not been convinced that the people of that section of the city were progressive enough to build an adequate sewer system. The purchasa of business or residential lots on the north side in Hammond would be a poor investment if the progress of the city is to be retarded by a lack of adequate sewer facilities.

A deep sewer system has been advocated for the north side for years

and now at a time when the north

Bide is looking forward to its greatest

development if a deep sewer system la not assured the purchase of property there is an uncertain Investment. "Whoever is , spreading the propaganda of decline in municipal development by urging against the building of this sewer system is not a friend of the north side. There is not a man on the north side who was not willing to take the increase In value that was reflected on his property, not as a result of his own acts or good judgment, but as a result of the chance that located the Gogebic Iron Company, a tremendously large concern, at his very doors, and yet few of them are willing to accept the responsibility of dispensing with a fairly adequate sewer and paying for a new one that will make certain the tremendous development of a whole section of the city. The north side has this one chance to make good. If it fails the people of this entire community, which includes the investors in the surrounding cities, will lose faith in it and the result will be ts development as the "shanty town" of the city a fate that would be well deserved were the citizens resident in that section of Hammond to turn down an adequate sewer system for the want of $17 a lot. The development of South Calumet

avenue is now being held up by the

fact that its sewer system Is entirely inadequate. Go and ask Arnold Keldenich why he does not erect the $25,00t business block for which he now has plans drawn and he will take you into the basement and show you how the spring freshets invade his basements and make them worthless. Why has Hohraan street Jumped far ahead of State Htreet in its build

ing operations? Simply because State street development east of Oakley avenue must now await the building of a sewer system on the east side and

Hohman street has the only adequate

sewer in Hammond.

It begins to look as though the progressive citizens of Hammond had

better more to East Chicago or Gary where they can move faster than the

snail's pace.

How much persuasion, how much

coercion, how much explaining, how-

much cajoling was necessary to have

Calumet avenue widened and extended through to Calumet avenue and

yet the increase in values that followed the success of this project and

the building activity that resulted

has repaid the property owner ten times over for his assessment. What

ails Hammond anyway?

IT is to be feared that some perfectly good ambassadorial material

has been wasted by sending J. Hani Lewis to the senate.

THE WORLD'S EYE ON BELGIUM.

Little Belgium is the scene of political interest in Europe just now be

cause of the strike and further, be

cause of the uncertainty as to what

wUl happen when the King attempts to open the great exhibition at Ghent as

tomorrow. The Socialists, who are conducting the strike, are making no attempt at disorder, and declare that

the struggle will be a peaceable one, if they are let alone. At any rate they do not fear the" troops, claiming that many of the soldiers are in sympathy with the strike. There have been "universal" strikes before; or attempts at them. There have been strikes for many purposes, economical and social. There have been some, in France, intended to coerce or to control the government. But not before has there been an extensive strike for the sole purpose of compelling the enactment of a certain measures into law. " This is the situation: There is now, under the law of 1894, universal adult male suffrage. At the last election there were 1,697,619 voters in a population of 7,516,730; a fair ratio. But there is also dual and triple voting on property and educational

qualifications, so that the number of voters named cast 2,710,851 ballots. To that the Socialists object. They want the system of "one man," one vote. Therefore they order a universal strike. Practically it Is an attempt at revolution by means of industrial instead of military welfare. The outcome of it will be awaited with interest by all the world and with no little anxiety by several nations of Europe, where the Belgian example, if this strike proves successful, is likely to be emulated for the attainment of like or other political ends.

LOST ART OF ORATORY. Americans, who used to be the finest speakers in the world, are today quite without that distinction. Why? Becausethey hold to the absurd notion that the finest fruits of eloquence are the results of flashes of

intuition; of sudden inspiration; the

chance visitation of fortunate circumstance. There is now plenty of speaking, but little oratory and less eloquence because in our American hurry we do not take time to perfect ourselves in the art as our fathers and grandfathers did. The politician, even the statesman

of today, will not perfect himself, and he therefore inflicts the oublic with

mouthfuls of spoken wind and little

else.

SUFFRAGETTE HEAVEN. This suffragette idea isn't entirely new, anyhow. Travellers who have penetrated the Himalaya Mountains report a region ruled entirely by women. They are perfect Amazons, are responsible for such rude laws as are necessary, manage all the deails of government, and have four or five husbands apiece. Men perform all the rough tasks and menial labors and beyond that are of small account, although it is asserted that of late they are rebelling against their practical serfdom. It occurs it would pay Great, Britain to start excursions to the Himalayas one way only, no round trips, and make vacations for suffragetes compulsory.

SILENCE NOW. A Washington press telegram says: "When the American fleet sails for the Mediterranean in January, it will be a fleet or nearly twice the muzzle energy of the famous battle fl?et sent around the world in 1907 by former President Roosevelt, and a fleet of half again as great tonnage. The schedule and ports of call have not been worked out yet in the navy department and it merely has been announced that the big fleet would tour the Mediterranean In divisions. Official announcement of the fleet movement, as made late last night at the navy department, declared the object was to send the fleet on a pleasant cruise to stimulate enlistment and educate officers and men. Accompanyingi the announcement was a comparative statement of the fighting strength of the fleet as against the battle fleet of 1907 and also a short review of the cruise of the white squadron, the first new navy to cruise in foreign waters, and the cruise of the battle fleet in 1P07." "A pleasant cruise to stimulate enlistment," eh? And what have the democratic papers and orators of our beloved land to say to this? Do you remember how they bellowed, roared, ripped, snorted, yipped and yawped when President Roosevelt indulged in "gross extravagance," "uncovered our coast defenses," and "jeopardized our warships" by sending a fleet around the world? Do you recall all the hysterica criticism that was heaped upon him and the general air of disappointment when nothing happened? Do you recall, also, that only a few weeks ' ago our own cherished Mr. Cline, in a doddering attempt to explain his vote on the pork barrel grab, spoke scathingly of wasting public money on warships and in naval cruises? it is wellAperhaps, to bear all these things in mind. For while they do not prove that such cruises are either wasteful or impracticable, they serve to show the arrant hypocrisy of these who once cried out against them simply because the administration nf an opposing party was engineering them.
