Naturally the boys have not forgotten the fat pickings and they are out for revenge. They are good workers too and, hustling for votes In lively style. It Is a fine compliment to any man to have the gamblers against him In a political campaign, but It Is not always politically profitable. In this raw, however, the mayor's backbone has made htm friends and votes In Fuch numbers as to compensate for any loss. The people of Whiting are almos forgetting what the slot machines look.1 like with their innocent open faces and their horrible appetite for nickles. With all their harmless appearance, they caused more loss to Whiting worklngmm than all the fires and burglars that ever were known here. It appears that they have gone for good now. for not only is Mr. Parks opposed to the games and the machines, but also his principal opponent. Mr. Srhrage. has declared himself against open and professional gambling.

Through route cars from Indiana Harbor to East Hammond do not solve the " single track and switch problem that the Green Line is laboring under. Hammond's city service continues to bo the poorest in Northern Indiana. The new schedules sems to have multiplied the evils. The trains hold up the cars worse than ever. One Instance of DelayMrs. Chester A. Lockwood, residing
on Waltham street near the state left her home Saturday evening at 8 o'clock acompanled by a guest. She was due in half an hour at a home on Michigan avenue. At five minutes after eight the ladies boarded a car. At five minutes after nine they arrived at the home of their friend.

It was an hour later when she entered the home of her weekend hostess In Homewood. The time had been divided between waiting for a car and rests on switches. Aa Ionir as a Trip to Chicago. A reporter for The Times tried a through route car last evening. A dou
ble width window was down, or out. and rain and wind entered the car. It took as long for the car to travel from East Hammond to the Michigan Central tracks on Calumet avenue as It does to reach the LaSalle street station in Chicago on a Lake Shore suburban.

It is the wish of Mrs. Wils n and her daughter to keep everything secret at this time, but it is impossible to suppress the wave of interest.

to have been due to pneumonia.

Congressman John B. Peterson, who is spending a fortnight at his home In Crown Point, to await the senate's action on the currency bill dropped into the superior court house at Hammond this morning and spent a social hour with the lawyers in the library, swapping yarns, and telling the home folks how Vncle Sam runs tho government at Washington. Speaking of the currency bill as it has been passed by the House, Mr. Peterson gave it as his opinion that it is a good measure and that it will benefit conditions in the central states. "We don't want a central bank, for that would mean it wo,uld go to New York and that Is just what the people In this part of the country do not want," commented Mr. Peterson. "You can't always go by what those big fellows rrf New York say they like and don't like. For instance, they might not like a certain feature of the bill, but they won't say so. On the contrary they let tho little fellows in the west understand that it would be just

A Democratic administration came to the run: ', recovered the works, and again began to systematically improve them.
