west The foundations are already laid
and the superstructure IS sure to fol-
low. But IL this region Is TO realize
in a full measure the great future that
it has in store, II viii have to take
strenuous measures 20 develop its har-
Dor facilities.
So far the people have been indif-
ferent TO the matter OF harbors. prob
ably for the reason that from the time
of 'Harbor" Knots t. the present the
efforts that have been made have all
resulted In failure and IL seems next TO
impossible to accomplish anything
along this line.
Now, however unless the people Of
Hammond and tho surrounding cities
put themselves on rocord in some de-
termined manner there VIII actually be
a step taken backward and the Cal
umet river. always considered navi-
gable by the government, Will become
'of no more Importance than any little
creek in the county so far as the gov
ernment Is concerned.
This is an important matter that was
not discussed at the banquet Of the
Manufacturers association and yet it
would seem to be a matter of vital i'm
portance to them. They talk about the
tyranny Of railroads in the matter of
coal shipments and yet it must be ap-
parent to them that if the Grand Calu-
met river was navigable throughout
its whole length coal could be brought
to Hammond, East Chicago or Gary on
barges independently of the railroads
and at a much smaller cost.
In fact, water competition is the only
thing that the railroads fear and it is
safe to say, that the freight service
Hammond would get from the lines
which run through this city would be
vastly improved if the shipper had the
alternative of shipping by water as
well as by rail.
This can never be done as long as
there are trestles and wooden bridges
across the Calumet river and will
never be done if the manufacturers the
business men. and the other citizens OF
Hammond do not protest against the
blocking of the only navigable stream
that flows through Lake county.

ABE RUEFS CONFESSION.

Abe Ruefs confession in a San Fran
cisco court came as a thunderbolt out
of clear sky and added the only
touch of sensationalism needed in the
already sensational case.
The confession was accompanied by
an eloquent and pathetic statement
calculated to arouse pity in the breasts
of those whose hearts are prone to
ache and who are not blase to the
wiles and cOnnivings of cunning men.
There is considerable doubt that re-
morse for his misdeeds was a factor
in the confession other than as it af-
fected Ruef himself. The cynical may
be forgiven for inferring that Ruel
simply got cold feet and that hope
of clemency actuated him in his burst
Of confidence. On the other hand it is
within the range of possibility that
sincerity governed his actions. How
ever this may be the situation as it
stands offers the old perplexing ques-
tions that have been thrashed over so
often.
Whatever Ruefs motives, be they
based upon sincere repentance or selfish
cowardice it is a question whether
what he has to offer should in any
sense govern the outcome Of the trouble
in which Ruef and his fellow conspira-
tors are involved,-whether indeed
the state should accept it at all.
1t is an old and perhaps wise saying
that it takes a thief to catch a thief
Working on this theory the state would
seem justified in making use of the
means at it's command to bring evil
doers to justice. If the testimony OF
witnesses who turn states evidence
were not accepted many guilty mar
would escape On the other hand il
is quite probable that some few limo
cent ones would also escape unjust
punishment. Can the thief who does
the catching be believed? And if ht
can, is the state justified in encourag-
ing and countenancing as it's instru
ment in securing the ends of justice
the greatest crime of all great crimes
the treachery which is involved in tn,
betrayal of a friend? For the princi
pies of loyalty are the same whetne
they relate to thieves or honest men
and honor even among thieves is bette
than no honor at all.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. May 16.-The stock mar
ket started the day a shade higher
than the previous close with Reading
Union Pacific, Copper, st. Paul, Atchi-
son and Canadian Pacific the leading
features. After a spasmodic display Of
strength at the opening, however,
prices began to sag off fractionally UP
to the closing hour. There was moth
ing particularly disturbing in the news
outside Of the crop situation which is
beginning to assume serious aspects
even to optimistic Wall street.
It is an undisputed fact that stock
traders as a rule are prone to believe
the bad crop reports which appear
every spring, they prefer to await
further developments and facts. yet
While the air is full Of such reports
traders are timid about buying stocks
This fact has in a great measure re-
duced the volume of business in the
stock exchange more than any one
other factor. Conservatism is advised
upon all sides.
Brokerage houses are reluctant to
advise their clients to either buy or sell
stocks until the crop situation be-
comes clearer. Professionals and
room traders have had the market
practically to themselves. Prices sway
ed back and forth within a range OF
about one point for the active futures
The close tonight shows very little

! cations pointing to a continuance 0.
the same class of markets for some

The Lake County times., 1907-05-16

While little liquidation overhangs the
market we look for the declining tend
ency to run some further, and we
would not advise buying stocks except
on reactions of a point or two. There
are too many adverse features at the
moment to render successful any bull
ish operations of Importance for a time,
though the gilt-edged issues are re-
ceiving support on the part of moneyed
men who understand their real values
and are willing to wait for their profits.
The selling in Canadian Pacific has
been almost entirely long stock by
those who have come to the conclusion
that this security was out of line with
Great Northern and other stocks OF
that class. In our opinion its trend
will continue downward. New York
Central has still very heavy financing
to accomplish, which, when it comes
will doubtless be used as a club for a
general attack on values. General

by investors, but the industrials gen
orally are subject only to professional

"OUR KINGDOM FOR A
PATROL WAGON 2

NOT THAT man who gets drunk
and falls down and wallows in the
gutter is entitled to any sympathy, but
the spectacle of his being trundled
through the main street in a wheelbar-
row is not an edifying sight for city
that Is aiming at the distinction of
being considered the metropolis of
Northern Indiana. 1t is also a wanton
sacrifice Of the dignity of the police
force
Wheeling a barrow through street
lined with a gaping, jeering throng
cannot be a pleasant task for a police
man. On the contrary it must be the
unhappiest feature of his proverbial
unhappy lot. The policeman who ac-
cepts such duty is entitled to a medal
as large and as bright as the one that
is bestowed on the brave bluecoat"
who stops a runaway horse and saves
life at the risk of his own.
Hammond has no reason to find fault
with it's police force but has ample
reason to find fault with the limita-
tions imposed upon that police force.
The men perform their duties faith
fully and well under the most trying
conditions. Probably there is no place
in the country where such a small body
AAANAA NASHAA ~ ~
a territory.
Certainly no other police force in the
country is called upon to do so much
leg work. The spectacle of a drunken
man being wheeled TO the station in a
barrow with a policeman between the
shafts is not unusual-in fact it has
become a matter of daily necessity
Neither is the spectacle of the victim
Of the frequently occurring railroad
accident being jolted over the rough
pavement on the bed of a springless
truck.
The equipment of the Hammond po-
lice department is inadequate. That
fact is apparent. It is humiliating tc
have to admit that city of whose
present Importance and future great
ness we hear so much at banquets. CAB
tests and mutual admiration picnics
Is still policed after the manner ant
form of a country village.
Reforms were promised to come Ii
the wake of the Mccullough law. That
law failed Of the governors approva
and the metropolitan" idea of police
regulation as applied to Hammond is
- paradox.
There is no chance Of immediate i'm
provement under the metropolitan law
huN llltLl IS 4io ltetoOt1 WHY the C1l1ZSns
who advocated its repeal in so far a:
it applied TO Hammond should settle
into state of sullen Indifference anC
hope for the worst. Neither is it any
reason why those who worked to sus
tain the metropolitan law should si
still and gloat over the discontinue o
the others.
Hammond has pride in It's presen
and hope in its future. Here's wher,
that vociferously exploited "publi
spirit" should reduce itself to the con
crete.
1t would not take much to bu,
and maintain patrol wagon witt
ambulance attachments. The head o
the municipality does not see his wa,
clear under present conditions to III
this crying want out of the publ
funds but he could accept the gift o.
behalf of the city from public spirite
citizens without sacrifice Of dignity
and the commander in chief OF tn
metropolitan police forces Of Indian
could not object.
There is nothing that IS SO potent i
inspiring contempt for law as the hu
initiation of the men who are appointe
to enforce it.
