Disgraceful Scenes at Lake.

Again the Monon railroad has been
guilty of dumping carloads Of the scum
and filth from Chicago's underworld at
the beautiful little Cedar Lake resort
and the scenes enacted there last sun
day, are said to beggar description and
would make lurid reading in the vel
lowest of journals. Certinly this is
reprehensible proceeding on the rail-
road company's part. making for Its
own private gain a cesspool or one OF
the prettiest spots in Lake county
making it unfit for the pleasure Of
Lake county's decent citizens. who
ought 70 have the first opportunity
of enjoying the pleasures of the beau
tiful little resort, but who go there
carrying their lives and regulations in
their hands. Again. the cost to Lake
county in policing the resort where
these "picnics" or orgies" are taking
place is not small by any means, and
the profits derived by limited number
of citizens is in no way counter bal
anced by the damage done to the place;
reputation and the pleasures our peo-
pie are deprived of by the lawlessness
and debauchery that are enacted at
some of the Monon railroad company 5
picnics
THE TINES states the facts and sees
the need of a remedy, in giving back to
Lake countys peace-loving and law
abiding citizens its one, and only one,
pleasure resort so that its citizens,
their wives and children can spend a
few weeks there without coming in
contact with all the degrading and
demoralizing spectacles of depravity
that are common occurrences at the
resort now. making it unfit place
for women and children to be while
these railroad harvests" are taking
place. There is a remedy. Lake county
citizens want it, the next thing is tc
take proper steps in securing it. Cedar
Lake for Lake county people and theil
friends.

Wheeler Is Optimistic.

Harold H. Wheeler. on whose shout
ders the brunt of the work falls in ar
ranging the important details for the
proposed automobile race, to be held
here some time this fall is very OPP
timistiic regarding the big event and
sees no reason for not landing it for
Lake county on the proposed course
between Crown Point, Lowell and Or
chard Grove. He states that a petition
has been started in Lowell and the
surrounding country and is meeting
with great success, the farmers seem
ing to be heartily in favor of it, and
willing to forgo traffic on the course
the day the races are held. The
slight opposition accorded the project
by one or two Lake county citizens
has been practically obviated and Mr..
Wheeler thinks that with everyone
willing, the races will surely be landed,
and the biggest event ever pulled off
in Lake county will be a matter of his
tory within a few months. All it needs
is a long pull and strong pull and
a pull altogether" to make the affair
a success.
