OUR NEIGHBORS'
POOR POSTAL SERVICE.

The people Of East Chicago and IN
diana Harbor are complaining of their
inadequate postal facilities and they
have good reason to do so. In the two
cities concerned. which are actually
but one. there is a population of over
$4,000 people and yet all of these pat
rons of Uncle Sam are compelled to
walk to the old rickety postofhces
just as they do in any little town down
the state.
Even without free delivery the peo-
pie of these two cities are entitled 10
decent Offices in which to cau for their
mail and they are not getting what
they are entitled to. There Is not a
person who enters the East Chicago
or Indiana Harbor postOfdce for the
first time who is not just a little
ashamed that the uncle who has been
so generous to the city OF Hammond
Just few miles away should have
SO neglected another thriving commun-
ity
East Chicago, {. e.. meaning East
Chicago and Indiana Harhor, is large
enough to demand the free delivery
service. but official red tape and the
inability of the citizens Of either city
10 decide where the central Office
should be located. has prevented the
department from giving the city this
service.
In the meanwhile the people are
putting up with postohices that would
be a disgrace TO most any city in the
Philippines.

HITS THE BABIES.

Tt Is easy enough to set forth gilt
tering arguments as to why Hammond
should be charged seven cents a quart
for milk while the inhabitants of the
other cities in Lake county pay but
Eve. There never was a wrong which
did not have arguments in it's
favor The milk trust has discovered
several reasons why it should pay the
farmer less money for the main pro-
duct Of his dairy and charge the con-
sumer the same as he has been paying,
when the farmer was realizing more,
hut the fact remains that only one
party is beneftting by the readjust-
ment of prices. The beneficiary as in
almost all cases, is the power which
regulates the price of the commodity.
In this instance that power is repre-
sented by the milk trust.
There Is nobody in all probability
who works harder for his income and
Is a better citizen than the farmer.
yet he invariably is made to bear the
brunt Of any change in the schedule
Of provision prices. The consumer
does the rest In this case the situa-
ton Is almost pitiful, meaning as It
does so much to the decentest Of all
men. ana also To what Is sim uS-
ieenter and more pitifully helpless, the
innocent babies of the vicinity. If
milk is sold at a reasonable figure it
means that the babies have all of this
necessary food that they require and
children require milk at a much more
advanced age than the term baby would
imply; or IL not all they require, they
will come nearer attaining the maxi
mum OF their requirements in this re-
spect
The price Of milk more directly at
fects the welfare of the babies of a
community than that of any other sin
gle commodity. A raise in the price
of milk is a direct blow to the babies.
but little cares the milk trust who is
hit 1t is not in business for its health,
and that Is all there is to it.
II the milk dealers would do the
fair thing there is no doubt that the
public would be willing to take chances
on the fluctuations OF the market as
represented by what the farmer re-
ceives, which would mean that he
might pay q little more for milk in
winter and a great deal less in sum
liner than is the case under present
conditions. IT is noticeable that while
the price never goes down under trust
regulation. it frequently goes up. and
the consumer would welcome n rule
that works both ways.

WITH THE EDITORS
A City's Misery.

No city in the country has ever
known a year of greater misery than
that which has befallen San Francisco.
It's latest visitation is the street car
strike At present San Franciscans
are walking or are paying % cents
fare to be hauled about in nondescript
vehicles. The Affections of the city
have for the most part been of national
concern. The earthquake the school
question, the revelations of bribery and
corruption. the labor diffleulties-au
have aroused the interest of the nation,
in some cases affecting very nearly
its own welfare.
In one of the dispatches of yester-
day concerning the strike it was said
that the United Railroads being a New
Jersey corporation, an application
would be made to the federal courts
for injunction to restrain the car
mems union in case there were trouble
when an attempt was made to move
ears, and it was naively declared that
this would involve the federal govern
ment and use would be made of fed
/ eral troops. OF course such a thing
would be quite impossible under any
+ but extraordinary circumstances-s

anything they do may be made to in

things that they have done have in

Their actions do however, involve
national sentiment-more so than any
other city for the time being Their
misery is the nations. The interest of
the country could not have been more
acute than ii was in the segregation of
the Japanese children. And it has the
most lively anxiety over the outcome

Bobby" asked the teacher Of the
class in arithmetic, addressing the
question to one of the younger pupils.
how many pints are there in gal
lon?" I've forgot it again, ma'am, =
said Bobby, who found it hard to COM
nit to memory the tables Of weights
and measures.
Thinking that perhaps by turning
from the abstract to the concrete she
might succeed better in stimulating
his power of recollection, the teacher
tried another tack.
Bobby" she said, your father is a
milkman, isn't he?"
Yes, ma'am."
We'll, now. think as hard as you
can. He sometimes sells a gallon can
fun of milk, doesn't he? Just so.
Well. when he does, how many pints
OF milk are there in that gallon can. F"
Its all milk, maam." Indignantly
exclaimed Bobby.

TOOK THE FIRMS TRADEMARKS.
Ingenious HoIIanders Put Minnesota
Firm in a Hole.

a Minnesota Touring mill company
has recently had an experience in Hol-
land which will not only make it more
careful in the future but will serve as a
warning to other concerns &c pay
strict attention to the protection of it's
own brands of -four under the pecu-
liar registration laws of Holland
For a number Of years the company
alluded to sold one concern in Am
sterdam under one of its mill brands, a
name made famous both in this coun-
try and abroad by years of quality and
advertising, and TO another concern in
Rotterdam, under another mill brand,
also well advertised and generally
known
Net long ago it occurred to the mill
that it would be a good idea to regis
ter its brands In foreign countries.
and it proceeded to do SO. 1t then
discovered that its Dutch correspond
ents had both registered its brand in
their own names. It requested them
to transfer the registration 10 the mill
name. This was positively refused.
Thus the mill is actually deprived of
the use Of its own brands unless it
sells 10 the two concerns and no one
else.
Under the laws Of Holland these
former representatives could prevent
the mill shipping -four to other parties
under its own established brand
Other Minnesota mills have had the
same unpleasant experience.
