The very worst thing that can happen to a city is that it should be dominated, body and soul, by a one political party. It makes no difference whether it be democratic, republican or progressive. The evil is rampant, patent and ugly. In Gary and Bast Chicago, both municipalities will have fusion tickets this fall. The taxpayers will get a square deal. Nobody will dare to hand them anything. If they think they need salvation, it is theirs for the asking. In Hammond the democrats have named a municipal ticket. The principal occupation these days for the average Hammond man is looking the other way while the democratic party skips with the watermelon. This condition is a poor state of affairs for Hammond. No one man, institution or party is indispensible in this world. Eliminate what you will, the old world will wag on just the Bame. Hammond should have a good, clean, active, lively citizens' ticket. It Is doubted that either the progressives or republicans could win single-handed. Hitched double and lined up with democrats who make a wry faces when primary methods in the Standard district are mentioned, such a fusion party would make Home howl. The city needs a revivifying. It should be gone over with a political vacuum cleaner. Without disparaging the democratic candidates at all, the people of Hammond should see to it that the system of "check and balance" in ideal municipal government is not lost for a moment. We believe it would be a good thing for Hammond to get stirred up. Rattle the dry bones. Why shouldn't republicans, progressives and democrats get together? What difference does it make what a mayoralty candidate is politically? Hundreds of good citizens declare this to be true. Are you going to organize?

LAKE FRONT PARKS. Whiting has the largest lake front park in the county. When compared with adjoining communities Whiting has done well but its park is Inadequate. Hammond has less than this. It has a mere apology for a water front breathing spot at Robertsdale beach. And Gary and East Chicago-Indi
ana Harbor have none at all. To outsiders it must seem strange that the municipalities of this coun
ty, one of the three in the state
having lake coast, should have pass
ed by opportunities to procure lake
front breathing spots. It may not come in thi3 genera
tion but a succeeding one, when this region is congested, will demand and secure lake front parks. It will
mean "the ousting of some railroad
tracks and the securing possession of mill yards; but the corporations
will find public sentiment too power ful to resist it.

IT NEVER COMES BACK.
A British scientist says baldness can be cured by freezing. Nothing
in it. Every hairless man Is a hu
man ice box from casting freezing glances at irreverent ribalds. There's
one thing that never comes back.
We might add that the man who is
iapidly becoming hairless hs a few
glances to bestow on the ribald3 aforesaid which keep the blDod from
becoming overheated.
SINGING AT WORK.
If we are recommended to whistle at the plough why not sing while at
other labor? French financier, noting an Indus
trial decline, tells us that the effi
ciency of workers would be increased
by inducing them to sing while en

the Pyrenees, where we have built roads and bridges. The result is
simply amazing," says the financier

nor Marshall know "about international intricacies, war, naval affairs of other governmental complications? Can't we learn anything by experience? Look at the men who have occupied the presidential chair.
They have all been great, bo to speak, in some given direction diplomacy, legislation, the military line, or otherwise. Lincoln may have
been an exception, but there was
only one Lincoln. Cleveland, even, might be considered an exception,
but Cleveland was no slouch when it came to determining the right or wrong of the money question, or the rigid enforcement of law;, besides he

OUTSIDE OF THIS
HE'S ALL RIGHT It is simply ridiculous to talk of Governor Marshall for president. He is too light a weight for that office. He hasn't got height, or depth, or breadth enough for that position. There isn't one man in a
million fit for the presidency. That would make about 80 or 90 men out of the nation at large. Do you think, reader, that Governor Marshall is one of them? It may be conceded that the governor is a good man that he is conscientious, and all that; but the same could be said of scores of men. What experience has Governor Marshall had along the presidential lines? He couldn't have gotten any in his home town. What good, in the direction indicated, has ever come out of Columbia City? What ambassador, cabinet officer or other official has been the product of Its environment? What does Gover-
CAMPAIGN PERSONALITIES. What applies in Lafayette ln re
gard to the municipal campaign has an application in every Lake county city where the political campaigns
so far have been more cleanly con
ducted than ever. The Lafayette
Journal says:
"We conclude by the comments of Fort Wayne and South Bend newspapers that the city campaigns In
those cities are in full blast. Here in Lafayette It sometimes is said
during a municipal campaign that the newspapers get personal but La
fayette's newspapers are mild in comparison with those of South
Bend and Fort Wayne. It is only the first of August and those prominent In the political affairs of the
two cities named are being called
everything they can be called with
out violating the libel law. It strikes us that the people of Lafayette have been wise to postpone activities until fall. Sixty days is sufficient for n city campaign. And when the fight does open we hope there may be an absence of petty personalties which have little to do with the real issues. It is right and ireper that fitness, qualificalcns and records should be discussed. But calling a man a pickpocket wtlhout proving It doesn't contribute to intelligent action on the part of the tcople."

The recent move on the part of Governor Ferris in insisting that the copper mina operators resume operations at once in the mines within the strike gone, near Calumet, has jrreatly displeased the operators, who wish to play a waiting game. There is very little profit in working the mines just now, owing to the weak copper market, and tae operators would like nothing better than a three months' rest, with the state troops on hand to quell any violence.
