MILLENIUM MAY MAKE IT DRY Until That Time, However, Federal Prohibition Forces Have No Hopes. With the arrival of the millennium Waal Hiir.m-J will probably be bon dry. but it Is drabtful if this idciii condition will arrive btfore that time. The littlo city Just across the state line is posaeFsed of fed'uics peculla? to herself, which are not to be found anywhere flse in this country, and probably not m the wc.-id. Tcpnding as she does entirely cn Hammond for h.or public utilities, her mercantile establishments and her railroad terminals, at the same time she is outside the jurlsdlc.t li-n of llair.x.cnd and Indiana authorities. Chicago officials are too busy to clean up the scores of wide open saloons, and even should they find time to do it, the many repeated visits that would he necessary to. thoroughly finish the job .irp beyond the realms of posMbiity. Hammond federal agTit; are powerless to act in the Illinois city, however willing they may be Co so. There is only one hop- which stands between TVr,t Hammond and an unlimited period of moisture, and that is a fearlres crusader of the Virginia Krooks type. Until her kind appears again, or until the United States government has thoroughly, once and for a'.l .r.forc-od th ISth amendment, the millennium may safely of- fixed as th. limit to the unbridled violations which now go on across the line.
