virile Hammond man who was chosen to he chief of police in the new com-: tnunity that attracted bold men and adventurers from all quarters of the globe. And he successfully coped with them. It is also to the two Hammond brothers and a third Hammond man, a young reporter for this newspaper, who held the office of president of the board of education In Gary during its early days, that William Wirt, then quite obscure and yet to be beckoned by Fame, met one day when he wandered into the new settlement in the sand dunes. These men had the foresight to believe there was something in the new ideas on education that the stranger talked of and so the village came to get a new schoolmaster. It is due to Hammond men that Wirt was unrestricted in his work a strange privilege for a school superintendent in America and In consequence, Gary, today, Gary by reason of Mr. Wirt's genius, the Steel corporation's founding of the city and the aid of the Hammond men. Is now known to the "world more for its contribution to elementary edficatlon that It Is for Its steel. Where one man comes to Gary to see its splendid mills, ten men and women make the pilgrimage to view the renaissance in education as it iB set forth there in its original molds. Let it not be forgotten that Gary owes Its existence to the Steel corporation, its educational reputation to the schoolmaster, and the schoolmaster his chance for a living laboratory to the Hammond men though there since have sprung tip other pilferers who would makt, way with the credit. The Times was in Gary long before a certain editor arrived in town with his carpet-bag and set up his sanctum In a 6x8 shack; The Times was in Gary from the very beginning and it was printed at home and not for years in another state; yet it has always sought to boost, the whole county and rot attack parts of it. From the very earliest time Gary has constantly received excellent people who came from Hammond to make their home in

the pleasant and hustling new city, and. they, like the Hammond men, who

had such an important bearing on Gary's early and present course have

been live-wire citizens- So, it ill becomes any one of the carpet-baggers

who comes from Illinois or other states here for what there is In it and to

remain as long as they can get inside real estate tipB to mock and jibe at any part of this county. Gary is too broad and too ful of big-minded men

and women, to stand for the rantings of financial dyspeptic? and agitators

seeking to stir up inter community quarrels.

TIIE GOVERNMENT WILL CENSOR EITHER WAY. So faithful is it to the cause of President Wilson that the New York World has been termed by rivals as "The Court Organ." Yet on its editorial page of May 9 in one article it fearlessly assails the darkening of the state department by Secretary Lansing's new cenrship and in another it takes the Wilson government to task in the subjoined editorial, which we reprint without further comment: In the matter of taxation the great question must always be: What is the purpose? Is it to raise revenue, or is it by indirect means to reach an end not named in the title of the bill? Some such queries as these occur naturally to the mind when we read of the efforts making in Congress, on the plea of necessity arising from war, to place excessive taxes upon the circulation of newspapers and magazines in the mails. The worst of these tontemplate prohibitive postal rates in zones not far removed from the offices of publication, thus limiting the influence of important journals and periodicals. As we can see in this instance, there is a tremendous difference between taxes that permit life and taxes that are meant to kill. No other department of the United States government Is so much a business enterprise as that of the post, and no other is conducted with such utter disregard of common business principles.

The carrying of the mails is an undertaking which by the liberality of its processes ought to be at once profitable in money and intelligence. Instead of that, its bad management dooms it to high coats and the perpetual threat of outrageous public penalties. A press taxed to death or by taxation restricted to a narrow field might almost as well have been censoTed to death. Evidently defeated in the one purpose, is Government now to resort to the other?

GOVERNMENT has started a crusade asking that cornmeal be used instead of flour and we have shown our patriotism by suggesting to the missus that Bhe make corn bread at least twice a day.

SINCE April first army enlistments In Gary have exceeded those in Maryland and Delaware and have been six times those in the state of Vermont. Hammond has pH'eri as many men as the states of Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire combined. Maybe the reason of this is because only half the population of Gary and Hammond is American-born, while most of the people of the East and New England are of Colonial descent and are members of preparedness societies.

SOME REFLECTIONS OX GARY 'AND. II AMMOXD

While the Gary. Tribune Is for no reason founded on sane grounds

savagely attacking all thing3 Hammond, it. would be well to remember that ten years ago when the United States Steel corporation was about to found Gary if looked in many places for a capable executive to start and manage

Its vast town; its interests in the steel city that was to be. An ex-mavor

of Hammond was decide! on- He was given complete authority at Gary it was some lime before a town government, was established. Under the Hammond man's direction the site of Gary was cleared, the work begun on its great mills before their superintendent arrived, its streets were laid out its sewers built, the locations of its principal buildings decided on. the plan of beautiflcation worked out, and ten thousand and one details solved. Millions were spent, and it was a man's job to build the most modern model city of its time in a wilderness.

It was this Hammond man who was left to decide even t"he location of

Broadway and the supervision of . the building of the first hundreds of fine buildings and residences that now grace the Steel city. In the new settlement of Gary this Hammond man, A. F. Knotts, was the local authority, the arbiter of the city beautiful plans adopted for Gnrj-. and the guide of us early destinies- It was also a Hammond man. a brother of this executive, backed by the influence of the Steel corporation, wb,o was named to crsanize th newly established town government in Gary; and It was a
