THE LINK. One of the results of the coming of the Baldwin Locomotive works to Calumet will be a building up of those two partially unsettled strips between East Chicago and Hammond and East Chicago and Gary. When this territory Is built up within the next few years Lake county's four cities north of the Grand Calumet will be one community divided only by political boundaries. At the present rate of growth it win take but a few years to effect this union of communities. And if the four cities and two towns contiguous governments north of the river agree on consolidation Indianapolis will have to look to Its

The tocsin has been stfunded and the alarm has brought out scurrying feet tn tn of.llThe antideep sewer crowd Is -very active and the pros must not be a whit behind. It is all very well to say that the city can get along without this system. IT CANNOT. We repeat in the boldest-faced type we have n CANNOT. Hammond without it, will see our sister cities pass us in the race for supremacy and that within a few years. Hammond is the only city in the Calumet region which sits on the ience and watcnes the procession go calmly by, What iirA Dip nnrth nl nnnlo rln. ing about this sewer which means so much to them?

Every one who pays any attention to the progress of the schools ha3 heard of the Gary system; every one knows that for one reason or another these schools are out of the ordinary. For instance, such men a3 Prof. Herberrt F. Roberts of the Kansas State Agricultural College say that the system of public schools in Gary' is the one thing about Gary that will not pass away except "to pas3 away out over the country like a prairie Are, as soon as the people get hold of it and grasp it and realize the whole bigness and meaning of it." "The real thing about Gary," he says, "is the system of public schools." Accounting for this Prof. Roberts says that ','tbe dead center where the mechanism of the public schools hangs up is in its failure to supply a motive for the things the child is expected to do." "Stunts will not do, exercises will not do, whether in books, blocks or bugs." Comes now Gary, he says, and supplies twelve years of motives

What with Mt. Vesuvius, T. R.. Katherlne, Va. Brooks, the czarevitch 111, Gary politics, the tariff and Rattleaxe Castleman all on the front page again you can't blame the world for being dizzy. NOTE that a Gary editor has formed a home-building company. Among con tractors this man is considered a good editor and among editors he is considered a good contractor. NAT Goodwill hastens to assure a long-suffering public that this time he is marrying for love. This seems to call for a little explanation. FRENCHMAN, who won the Indian apolis auto races by speeding 77 miles an hour attributes his victory to con suming 6 pints of champagne during the running. This merely Illustrates the fact that an autolst with a few drinks in? him doesn't care how fast he travels. PRESIDENT Wilson got all fussed up when he had to wait for a seat at a Baltimore quick: lunch-counter. This will give Wioodrow some idea of how aggravating It is to wait at the pie-counter. DECORATION DAY ISN'T WHAT IT ISED TO BE. (From the Gary Poat of May 30.) The Gary Country club Is the scene of unbounded enjoyment today. The clubhouse was formally opened this morning and by noon hundreds of the members and their guests had gone to the place prepared for a day of solid enjoyment. The grounds are in excellent condition and if the weathThese schools "run more hours in the day and niore days in the year than any you and I ever knew and the children of Gary can't get enough of it, can't be driven away from the schools, can t be kept out or them. Again, he says, it is like a man in the seventeenth century rolling over into the twentieth such is the experience of the man who steps out of the ordinary schools into those at Gary. One of the reasons for this, ' he thinks, is the fact that the expert is taught to teach certain things him self. No one teacher is expected to teach everything under the supervis ion of experts, but, for instance, there is a music room with a profes sional music teacher, a drawing room with a professional drawing teacher. a nature study room with a special instructor. The children go around to these different rooms from all the grades just as they go to French or chemistry or analytics at college." The grade teachers teach fundamentals but special teachers in special rooms take care of the rest. There are other elements, of course, but "the net result is that boys get into and through the high school at Gary before they know it, held by the irresistible fascination of a perpetual outcrop of new and interesting things; held by the variety and color of school life and Its throb bing activities." The mainspring of this whole business is the superintendent in the estimaton of Prof. Roberts. "His brain is the power plant from which the wires all run that control the most perfect piece of school mechanism that you have ever seen. The edu cational revolution of Gary Is the mental achievement of William. A. Wirt, superintendent of the city schools." Marlon Chronicle. "S'LONG, BOYS." North Sterling, Conn., Saturday. When the town highway ganp: finished its work on the road this afternoon Jacob I"ldge threw hla shovel In the tar with: "Well, boys, this Is my eight-eighth birthday, and now I am through work I'll walk four miles home. 'Slong." Pidge works every day, covering about five to six miles of road. He has supported himself eighty-two years and appears good for many more. It is necessary to add this to the collection of longevity statistics. Mr. Pldge evidently belongs to the don't-worry-open-alr-dally-exercise brigade. TRUTH VS. EVIDENCE.
"I think I can give a fair verdict regardless of the evidence." That statement was made to the court by one of the veniremen summoned for the Roosevelt damage case when he was questioned by the opposing attorneys. Needless to say, he was promptly excused from serving on thejury. But what a pity! It is so clearly apparent what his meaning was. And the distinction he unwittingly drew is so fair. , In order to be just, many a Jury
er Is propitious the afternoon will be marked by many outdoor games and athletic sports.

Jack Johnson he discredited world's champion, was stopped by Marshall Eugene Stech of Dyer while speeding on the Ham mond-Crown Point road at a fearful rate yesterday afternoon, a fine of $2 and costs, amounting to $10, being administered. The negro was surly and the usual teethy grin was absent. He was accompanied by his white wife. "GREAT DIVIDE" has returned to a Chicago theatre. Too much of a re minder of the Chicago convention.

R. said last campaign that he only drank as much as old Doc Abbott did. Friends intending to give the doc a birthday present will please confine themselves to champagne, white wines, brandy and milk. WEATHER bureau at N. Y. reports its seismograph recorded earthquake shock. Must be mistaken. Shock on Saturday was caused by Tom Knotts exploding when he heard that he was to have opposition. . has to make its decision "regardless of the evidence.", It is the prime ob ject of every lawyer engaged in a trial to get before the jury all the evidence he can which will benefit his client, whether fairly or not, and to block as far as possible the admission of all evidence inimical to his interests, whether fairly or not. When a jury hears the judge say, after a sprited tilt between opposing counsel, that certain testimony iu dispute "shall : be. stricken from the record it knows that evidence is important. And a jury knows when witness is lying quite as often as the lawyer who is examining him or the judge who presides. The Marquette venireman reflect ed the American people's opinion of their judiciary system and without Intent voiced the strongest indictment that has been brought against it. WHY, INDEED ? In speaking of the RooseveltNewett libel suit the Fort Wayne News very pertinently says: If Colonel Roosevelt wished to establish a real reputation why did he not select a real antagonist? AVhy not select Albert J. Beverldge, for example? Albert J. Beverldge has declared that Colonel Roosevelt was under the Influence of liquor when he made that vicious assault upon Judge Anderson at Indianapolis and Mr. Beverldge Is a gentleman of some standing. A Judgment against him would be really worth while, and the suit would be invested with a pomp and circumstance it cannot gather In the big woods of Michigan. Moreover, the charge of Mr. Beverldge was specific. It included the time, the place, and the individual. Moreover, again, the charge was made In the presence of at least four men of unimpeachable Integrity, one of them by the way. being now a bull moose leader In Indiana. "MOVIES" AND CHILDREN. There are certainly very serious evils connected with the frequent at tendance of children at the "movies." The popularity of the entertainment based upon the natural curiosity of children. They want to know. This desire for knowledge is natural, and should receive suitable , satisfaction. But it is Important to remember that the constant absorp tion of facts, without leisure for digestion, in the end trophies the de sire to know. There are other objections to the "pictures." The excitement, the e train upon the eyesight, the lat hours, frequently the unsuitable ideas suggested, all these sre us healthy for children. There seems to be no reason why the state should not limit attendance at public entertainments on the part of children if it is felt that too frequent attendance has an unsound in fluence. When the cinematograph is introduced into schools and witnessed by the children once or twice a week the desire to attend the public enter tainments will grow less.

VOICE OF rIe o f lTe A MOOTED QIESTIOX. East Chicago, June 2. To Editor of The Times: A question which should be of gen eral interest has been raised by a re cent contributor to one of the Chicago dailies regarding the propriety and ex pediency of a woman pursuing after marriage any connection she may have had with the world of Industry or the world of business. The author of the letter referred to indicated in plain language what a reprehensible , action he considered it that a woman who had married and was being cared for by a man should continue to exercise her faculties in business, thereby ex eluding some unmarried woman from holding such position. This is a subject which has been treated exhaustively in various com munities in the course of the past few years. Aside from the question of sup ply and demand it seems to the mind of the undersigned" that justice is due primarily to the intellectual woman, leaving for later consideration the needs or desires of the unintellectual or the class of manual workers. Presuming that a girl, as often happens, find In. the course of her college training a natural aptitude of predilection for some certain line of thodght or study say mathematics; upon com pletion of her college course she may have become an able statistician, may have a mentality enabling her to pre pare a valuable table of cost of pro duction, or to do constructive work of eminint value to 'society. When such a woman marries should she be rele gated to the kitchen or the washtub or should It be her metier to figure cost of a child's garment, two and a hal yards of material, at seventeen cents a yard, she who Is able to compute dis tances between fixed stars? One might proceed through the ategory of professions in which worn en have distinguished themselves and whereby they are rendering lmmeaa urable service to their community or o the world at large. Women have onsr been specialists in the medical profession and in the law. There are women lawyers who enjoy the privilege of practising before the Supreme Court of the United States. There are j women musicians, artists, professora, architects: in all professions have they j shown themselves skillful. Hut It Is suggested that when they marry they ay down this competitive work and devote the balance -of their days to the management of servants, or, if. the husband Is not so successful, to; the performance of the daily round of cooking and cleaning, instead of doing the work which Is most congenial and earning much more money than would pay the wages of a capable servant. Another side of the question is that the tendency in character is to shrink or expand to fit the groove In which one is forced to move. The "sheltered woman," or feme covert, as she is called in legal parlance, in spite Of remonstrance Is sure to become narrow and self-centered; to expect this Is nothing more than logical. We contend that the rendering of daily re munerative service is productive of beneflclent results to character. The case of the woman with small children must not be overlooked. The majority of women will tell you that the years which must be devoted exclusively to the child may be counted upon the fingers of one hand. The kindergarten soon takes it, and after the prescribed number of years marriage breaks the home ties beyond separation. Then is the woman lonely. Indeed, unless she have her profession or her business interests. KATHARINE SANTI. The Day in HISTORY jim: a IN HISTORY. 1S04 Aaron Burr proposed as federalist candidate for governor of New York.
